Chapter 13: A Big Gamble
Modern times are not ancient times after all, and things like fast food and cooked food are not very delicious, but they are definitely not unpalatable.
In particular, Japan is one of the origins of modern fast food, and instant noodles, which are memories of countless people's school days, were invented in Japan, and the quality of this type of food can be said to be quite good.
At least none of the people sitting at the table expressed dissatisfaction, and a large table of food, including Olga Marie, who came from a wealthy family, was swept away without any waste.
Even Perseus got two packets of instant noodles, three ham sausages, and a few packets of side dishes for tooth sacrifices.
"Don't you need to eat?" Olga Marie asked strangely.
"Just because you don't need to eat doesn't mean you can't eat, it's rare that you have a big table and can't waste it. Besides, eating food in moderation can also help restore mana. Perseus replied.
"Well, then, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Perseus is a Greek, why is he so skilled with chopsticks? More skilled than me, a Japanese. "It was Rika Fujimaru who asked the question.
"This ......," Perseus paused, "it should be a matter of talent." I've been quick with things since I was in elementary school, and simple props like this can be mastered at a glance - I have to say, this kind of tableware called chopsticks is really convenient to eat noodles. ”
"Sure enough, Mr. Perseus is very powerful, worthy of a great hero." Matthew's emotions have quickly shifted from admiration to adoration.
"Don't compliment me like that, I'll be embarrassed." Perseus laughed, and the chopsticks in his hand flew up and down, playing directly with flowers.
"So, Mr. Perseus, the great hero, can you tell us the next battle plan?"
Olga Marie played quite beautifully, wearing a top hat, changing the topic, and striking the arrogance in one go, worthy of her director.
"Well, I'm resting and eating, it's almost time."
Perseus had a plan, and in this regard, he was still very reliable.
Unlike Medusa, who roamed the city, Saber stayed in one place after defeating most of her opponents—the heart of the city, the seat of the Great Holy Grail. I don't know what's going on, the Great Holy Grail has been contaminated, Saber's rampage, Medusa and their pollution, nine times out of ten it has something to do with this. ”
"I see, which means we have to fight on the enemy's home turf." Olga Marie nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right, and the fact that we hunted the bones before and didn't get attacked means that Archer is also back with Saber, and this time we have to face two enemies at once, so we have to take a certain risk."
"What a risk."
"Divide the troops, Archer and leave it to me, and you go deal with Saber."
"Why do you want to arrange it this way, give me a reason."
Olga Marie's face sank. On the other side, Archer was defeated by Saber, who was obviously the most powerful Saber. And the four of them are obviously the strongest Perseus, and he has always been dominant along the way, leading the entire team. Now it is difficult for Olga Marie not to associate the strong with the weak, the weak against the strong, and the "outcast".
"Because you can't deal with Archer. Don't forget, Matthew is a Shielder and has no means of long-range attacks. When fighting an opponent like Archer, you can only be beaten passively, and if you don't do it well, you will be defeated and die. In contrast, it is better for you to play white-knuckle opponents like Saber.
With that, Olga Marie understood. At the end of the day, it's a matter of physiognomy. The Shielder, or Shield Guard, is not a special position of the regular Seven Jobs, but also a position of Matthew. From the name, it is not difficult to see that this is a job that focuses on defense, and the offensive side is relatively weak.
"And the ranged attack, except for Archer, you're Caster. So, are you sure about dealing with Archer? ”
"Of course, it's hard to say if it was before, but now, it won't take me too long to kill him. I'll go to support you later, so until then, Matthew and Rikka must hold on. ”
"Yes!"
"Do your best!"
"That's what you want!"
"I mean, this kind of thing can't be solved by momentum alone."
Olga Marie, who is already an adult, is obviously not as optimistic as teenagers and girls.
"Against a completely unknown opponent...... Unknown? By the way, Mr. Perseus, do you know Saber's real name? ”
With your real name, you can analyze legends and deeds to effectively target and greatly increase the success rate of battles.
"Well, I know. Although I think it's a little strange, it's really a pretty famous king of this era, King Arthur, Artorius. ”
“King Aurther?”
Olga Marie's body trembled at the sound of this thunderous name, and the blood on her face receded, almost the same as when she was facing a death crisis.
"You, you actually let Matthew face that King Arthur? Let Matthew, who can't use the Noble Phantasm, face the strongest Knight King in Britain? You're trying to kill her! ”
"So tell me, is there any better way?"
"Hmm......"
Olga Marie slapped the table hatefully.
It was precisely because she couldn't imagine that she would be so aggrieved. There are two opposites, and if you want to fight, you have to fight together, and Archer's fighting style dooms him to be no match for Matthew.
"Is there no hope at all?"
Perseus shook his head: "I didn't say that, there is hope, there has always been, but not in me, but in Matthew himself." ”
"Myself?" Matthew was confused.
"That's right, you still have your shield." Perseus pointed to the shield that had been placed in the corner, "I don't know where that shield came from, but I'm sure that even King Arthur's legendary sword Excalibur couldn't break through the shield's defenses. If you can unleash the power in it, you won't be defeated easily, even if you can't win. ”
"How can we unleash the power of the shield?" The problem is back to square one.
"I don't know, but I can give you a direction. Unlike other weapons, the shield has only one function - protection, and the power in it must also be related to protection. What do you want to protect with this shield? Someone important? World? Renli? Or yourself? ”
"This ......"
Matthew hesitated for a moment, but Perseus didn't wait for her.
"It doesn't matter if you tell me the answer or not, the important thing is that you have to figure out your heart and let that belief become motivation and instinct. In that case, the shield will surely respond to you. ”
"Unfortunately, time is running out for us, and I think you can sense that the atmosphere in this city is becoming more and more dangerous."
"It's a big gamble, it's easy to say if you win, and there's nothing to lose when you lose. Matthew Gileadret, are you willing to take a gamble? ”
The inexplicable muffled words were accompanied by heavy pressure on Matthew's thin shoulders, making her a little breathless.
She looked at the people around her.
Olga Marie's face was pale, but she did not speak, apparently leaving the decision to herself.
Rika believed in her and supported her as always. He said it was the only thing he could do for him.
Seeing that expression, Matthew's heart was much less depressed for some reason.
There is nothing to hesitate about, the answer has already been decided.
Speak, answer.
"I'm willing, let's go now."
"Okay, let's go now. Lixiang, Olga, come here, I have something for you. ”
