In short, the conclusion is that Chen Xiaofeng's current strength is still not very good.
If you can still face Artoria's attack calmly and calmly without using your abilities, then with your own abilities, you should be able to compete with the three heroic spirits Artoria mentioned.
It's a head-on battle.
It seems that what he has to do now is to work hard not to rely on his own abilities - Chen Xiaofeng reflected honestly. He originally thought that his special physique and physique were above "average people", but the fact is that only with Artoria
I was forced to give up after playing for an hour. The result was really ugly.
"It seems that I am still far behind." Chen Xiaofeng said helplessly.
"No, there is no such thing. The master's counterattack is very powerful and threatening. Sometimes it is so sudden that I forget to respond."
But is it because of such a small thing that you admire her? This sounds like a comfort, but Artoria's eyes are very sincere.
"Well……"
Such a sincere attitude actually made Chen Xiaofeng feel embarrassed.
"Moreover, the master has qualities and physical conditions that ordinary people do not have. I believe that soon the master will become an outstanding swordsman even if he does not rely on ability." Artoria continued.
Being praised like this, no matter how thick-skinned Chen Xiaofeng was, he couldn't help but blush.
"Wait, wait a minute, I'm going to drink water." In order to calm down, Chen Xiaofeng made up this reason.
"Water? Then I'll get it. Master, please rest." Artoria asked Chen Xiaofeng to continue resting while she went off the roof to get some water.
Soon Artoria came back with water. It was only for a short while, but Chen Xiaofeng had returned to normal.
"Ah - well, I'm saved."
What saved him? Chen Xiaofeng drank the water Artoria brought.
It is still rest time, but Artoria is sitting aside politely. As usual, if there were not those words instigated by Aini, Artoria would always maintain the basic etiquette of a knight.
After all, Aini does a lot of harm to people.
Chen Xiaofeng thinks that Artoria is really beautiful like this. Like a bright red rose, she gives people a feeling that she can be seen from a distance but not played with.
Of course, it's not that I feel that the opposite sex is beautiful as a man, but that I feel objectively that Arturia is beautiful, and that she blends into the awe-inspiring rooftop air, calmly and without any confusion.
Such a girl once participated in a war and fought for ten consecutive years without losing. Such a thing still made Chen Xiaofeng feel unnatural.
Now, there are only Chen Xiaofeng and Artoria here. It's a good opportunity to talk. At this time - it's time to ask some questions to understand her, right?
I heard Aini say before that there was another reason why Artoria became a Heroic Spirit. Moreover, she used to often ask herself whether she was suitable to be a king? And now she also asked Chen Xiaofeng such a question.
Of course, Chen Xiaofeng would not speak directly about such a sensitive topic.
Since Arturia said she regretted it, maybe the question can be asked like this...
"Artoria, can I ask you something?"
"Okay, what's the matter, Master?"
"That's not an important matter. It's just a topic during the break. It's a casual question. Artoria, you don't need to answer it seriously..." Chen Xiaofeng wanted to eliminate the suspicious nature of the next question, so he defended it first.
He said, "Artoria, if you accidentally obtained an artifact that could grant all wishes, no matter what wish you wished, what would you wish for?"
"Wish?" Arturia didn't understand why Chen Xiaofeng suddenly asked such a nonsensical question, "A wish will only be satisfied if you pursue it with your heart and get it. If it comes out of thin air, the wish will be reduced to its original value.
The value... I think this question is meaningless. If it is an artifact that is being fought over, then perhaps it is because of a wish that you pursue it and finally get it. Then the 'wish' will be meaningful."
Fortunately for the King of Knights, he was able to find meaning for this topic after stating that it was a meaningless question. However, Chen Xiaofeng did not dislike such a serious character.
"Okay... then, that is a real artifact. You have the chance to get it, and you want to get it... So, Lily, what is your reason for pursuing this artifact?"
Chen Xiaofeng changed his direction again and asked Artoria about her wish.
"The reason for pursuing the Holy Grail, right? Can't it be just wanting? Because Master, you said that the item can fulfill all wishes. As long as you get that item, there will be no unfulfilled wish, so I don't think there is any reason to pursue the artifact.
.”
There was an obvious contradiction in what Artoria said before. Chen Xiaofeng frowned. It was obvious that Artoria had guessed Chen Xiaofeng's intentions.
Since the other party is pretending to be stupid, Chen Xiaofeng will not give up easily.
"No, that's not what I'm asking. Artoria, are you trying to deliberately confuse yourself with such a contradictory statement?"
"Ah? Master, I don't understand what you mean..."
"It's not the reason for pursuit. Well, I want to know what wish Artoria wants to realize?" Artoria was ready to play dumb until the end, and Chen Xiaofeng had to clarify the problem directly.
"But Artoria, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, because not all of your wishes can be told to others."
Chen Xiaofeng said this in a desperate manner, but his eyes pretended to be indifferent and glanced at Artoria from time to time. Artoria seemed to be embarrassed and closed her mouth.
This is of course, Arturia is not the kind of person who will lie to get through, so if she is asked to say it, it must be a true wish.
However, once she talks about that wish, things that Arturia doesn't want to think about will appear before her eyes again.
The hesitant Arturia made Chen Xiaofeng feel that she was rude by asking this question.
It seems that the relationship is not good enough to discuss such issues with each other. Chen Xiaofeng thought with some frustration.
Moreover, Chen Xiaofeng doesn't want to hear selfish wishes from Artoria now - so, should I stop this topic? Chen Xiaofeng hesitated.
"Master...is that Master's order?"
When Chen Xiaofeng was about to give up, suddenly, with a serious look in his eyes, Arturia said this.
"Huh? No, no, I didn't mean that. I was just concerned about Lily's affairs... I'm really sorry for asking about something boring."
