Chapter 219: The Holy Cauldron War (15)
After a while, where Ivan the Terrible had disappeared, Princess Anastasia came out of the woods, wearing the same heavy white fox collar gown she had come from, even though it was so hot.
She glanced at the golden flying boat in the distance, and then her eyes were fixed on the direction in which Ivan the Terrible had disappeared without blinking.
Her eyes are complicated, with the ease of being liberated, and the confusion about the future.
After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and walked towards the dock in the distance step by step...
After reconnaissance, Qian Chen and Artoria finally found that only they and Gilgamesh were left on the entire island, and the final decisive battle had come.
As for the two food districts left behind by Gilgamesh, Artoria did not hesitate to occupy them.
In her words: waste is the enemy!
Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not start the final battle the next day.
Vlad III was not an easy enemy to deal with. Artoria heeded Qian Chen's advice and spent the rest of her time adjusting her state while discussing strategies against Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh was even more disdainful of sneaking up on Artoria when she was not in shape.
The night was peaceful, but it was like the last moments before a storm.
The three of them sat at a round table in the castle dining room, and the atmosphere was somewhat dreary.
Gilgamesh's prowess is on full display by crushing the cheating Indians on the first night, and then they learn some more details through the Einomiya cake-cutting.
To put it simply, Gilgamesh is the nemesis of all kitchen spirits, and as long as they are kitchen spirits, they will inevitably be restrained by his precious phantasm.
It can even be said that he is the first person under the kitchen god.
Such an opponent, even Artoria, who has never easily given up, feels extremely tricky.
At this moment, Qian Chen broke the silence.
He took a deep breath and said to Artoria.
"Artoria, can you come with me, I have something to discuss with you."
Artoria had a look of confusion on her face, but she quickly came back to her senses, and Qian Chen had something she didn't want to say in front of Isabella.
Obviously, with Isabella's intelligence, she instantly understood what Qian Chen meant.
The expression on her face became a little ugly. The most critical moment is excluded, and anyone will feel uncomfortable.
Artoria glanced at her, sighed softly, and nodded.
"I'll come now."
The two of them walked one after the other to the balcony outside the restaurant.
Looking at the backs of the two, Isabella didn't know why a flame rose inexplicably in her heart, and she almost threw down a sentence without thinking.
"Talk slowly! I'm going to take a shower first! ”
After speaking, he didn't look back and rushed out of the restaurant.
"Isabella!"
Artoria subconsciously wanted to call out to her.
Qian Chen shook his head slightly and stopped her.
What he was going to say next was important, and it really wasn't appropriate for Isabella to know.
Isabella rushed out of the dining room, then stopped, leaning against the wall of the hallway.
After a while, she took a few deep breaths, clenched her fists in her murderous chest, and made a cheering gesture while whispering.
"Isabella, you're the best!"
Qian Chen is the first thing I took a fancy to, even if it is the ancestor, I will not back down!
Soon, Her Royal Highness the Second Queen of Great Britain was back.
"Qian Chen, I don't think there are some things that shouldn't be hidden from Isabella, who is also a partner."
As soon as Artoria reached the terrace, she spoke with a serious expression.
Qian Chen nodded.
"I won't do it next time, but it's important, and I think it's best for the two of us to know."
Artoria raised her eyebrows, noncommittal to Qian Chen's words.
Qian Chen didn't explain much, but took out a red card from his arms.
Artoria's eyes froze suddenly, and with her perception, she could clearly feel a terrifying energy from above, which even surpassed her own level.
And this is the reason why Qian Chen is reluctant to let Isabella know.
This card is sealed with the red talent 'Divine Purity and Demon Seeking', and although it can only be used once, it is more than enough to deal with the nouveau riche who wants to carry all his family property on his back.
Because this card is related to the system, Qian Chen doesn't want Isabella to know anything related to the system.
It's not that I don't believe in her character, it's that her identity is too sensitive.
Artoria is different, although she is the famous King Arthur, in the end she is just a deceased. What's more, Qian Chen believes in her character more.
Although it was only two days, Qian Chen had clearly realized that the girl in front of him was a knight with a frank personality and abiding by dogma.
"You..."
Artoria suddenly fell silent, and she immediately knew why Qian Chen must have insisted on breaking Isabella away.
This is a trump card that can affect the outcome of the war!
"If I say that with this card I can easily defeat that Golden Flash, do you believe it?"
Qian Chen was extremely serious in front of him.
"I believe in you."
Without any hesitation or hesitation, Artoria replied cleanly.
Qian Chen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
"So, can you accept the defeat of the enemy with the help of such an external force?"
Artoria was silent.
After a long time, she spoke.
"As a knight, I don't agree with winning in such a dishonorable way.
Even if I have no chance of winning, I want to challenge the Hero King in a knightly manner.
Either you leave with victory, or you pass away with glory.
This is the fate of the knights. ”
The blue eyes were clear and free of impurities.
Qian Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed.
"Has anyone ever said that you are actually stupid?"
Qian Chen just subconsciously complained, but he didn't expect Artoria to really think seriously for a while, and a trace of distress appeared on his face.
"Merlin and Kay say that a lot."
Qian Chen shrugged his shoulders and took the card back.
"But it looks like I'm going to have to be stupid with you tomorrow."
"I'm sorry for allowing you to indulge my waywardness."
Artoria said apologetically.
Qian Chen waved his hand, a hearty smile on his face.
"There are always times in life when you have to be stupid. After all, we are emotional beings, not machines that only know how to think rationally.
And fight side by side with characters from myths and legends, challenge invincible mythical characters, and make yourself a part of the epic. This kind of cooking duel makes my blood boil when I think about it. To be honest, I'm looking forward to tomorrow right now.
It looks like we're both stupid, stupid for cooking, crazy for food! ”
Then Qian Chen's voice changed.
"However, you probably wouldn't object to me thinking about a strategy for tomorrow's showdown."
