49. Chance meeting
more
Time passed quickly, and the whole day went by. Bai*Xiao*Sheng(.)
When the full moon, which completely ignored common sense, rose again, Cheng Peng and Du Zaomiao both received a system prompt.
[The final battle of the "Fourth Holy Grail War" dungeon has arrived, please arrive at the final battle battlefield "Fuyukicho Gymnasium" within one hour, and those who do not arrive within the time limit will be deemed to have voluntarily given up the qualification for the final battle.] You can choose to use the system teleport function to go to the battlefield, but those who enter the battlefield using this method will be forced to appear in the "Great Hall" in the center of the gymnasium area. 】
Du Sana, who has done some research on this copy, knows this situation - in the beginning, the final battlefield of the copy was not the gymnasium, but the large unfinished venue in the original work. In the eyes of the designers, it is really romantic to use the same stage as the original game to conduct the decisive battle, but they did not expect that the players did not follow the plot of the original game, but gave the highest priority to directly destroying the venue, resulting in the final decisive battle often only unfolding in the ruins, ruining the scenery.
In view of this situation, around the time of the tenth dungeon, the system was adjusted to select the battlefield as the gymnasium. Grand Adventure 49
There is a ceremonial hall, indoor sports such as bowling and basketball, a standard stadium with a soccer field, a sand pit, and an outer running track, as well as a baseball field, which is popular with Japanese people. Covering a huge area and complex terrain, whether it is a heroic spirit who is good at close combat or a heroic spirit who is good at long-distance bombing, you can find a battlefield that suits you.
This small change was applauded by the players, and gradually, everyone became accustomed to seeing the stadium as the ultimate battleground.
To this day, only a handful of fanatical original writers still adhere to the idea that "the venue is the best stage", and their opinions are meaningless to those who are about to set foot in the decisive battle.
The journey from Tosaka's house to the gymnasium was not long, and it only took Du Zaonao and Cheng Peng about fifteen minutes to reach their destination.
Instead of entering the main building of the stadium, they climbed over the fence and entered the stadium.
For Cheng Peng, it didn't matter what kind of battlefield it was, but in order to protect the lord in battle, he chose to use the football field as his position.
The field of vision here is wide enough, and no matter what kind of attack, there is enough time to react.
The fence around the stadium is not high - because there is no need at all, what is there to protect with a mere football field? The purpose of its existence is only to mark the place.
After turning over the wall, there is a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor, there are stands.
Football matches are often played in the evenings, so there are plenty of lights in the stands and on the rooftops – lights that don't interfere with the view of the players on the pitch and are fully illuminated.
"It's the same as the video I saw on the forum......" Du Sanmiao stared at the brightly lit football field in front of him, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were a little 'confused', "The huge stadium only exists for duelists at the moment...... I can't believe I'll step into this place one day! ”
She muttered to herself, and the spirit that came from nowhere actually rushed ahead of Cheng Peng, strode out of the corridor, walked through the isolation zone, and stepped into the arena.
[You have stepped into the battlefield of the final battle of the Fourth Holy Grail War, and this will be a safe zone until 20:00 tonight.] 】
Cheng Peng noticed the hint and looked at the time—there were still about forty minutes.
So much time, it seems a little too long.
Then he noticed that in the middle of the football field, Ding Dan, dressed in military uniform, was yawning boredly.
"You're so early!" Du Zaonao praised sincerely, "It looks like you've been here for at least an hour, right?" ”
"No, I've been here since the early hours of this morning." Ding Dan replied, "If you come in from the other side, you can still see my tent and sleeping bag." ”
“…… Is it necessary to come so early? Du Zaonao asked with some curiosity, "I remember that before the war, no traps could be set here, right?" Adventure 49
"I'm just looking for a place to rest." Ding Dan said lazily, "You must know that although Fuyuki Town is large, it is really not easy to find a quiet place that can not be found by the troublemakers of Emiya Kiritsugu. ”
"What if he finds you?"
"Who knows...... I'm not interested in him at all. Ding Dan yawned again, "My 'sexual' orientation is normal. ”
"You're not in the right place to fight." Cheng Peng said, "I think you need to go and rinse the punch with cold water. ”
This reminder didn't seem necessary, but he would rather say it, because even if he didn't say it, Ding Dan's servants would also remind him like this.
For King Arthur, who was stubborn in his knighthood, an opponent who would remind his enemies to adjust before the battle began, was obviously more worthy of respect.
Although this effect may not work, he is still willing to try.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ding Dan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly ran to the other side of the football field.
After a while, he returned with a wet hair, his spirits lifted and serious.
Beside him, there was a blonde girl wearing blue and white armor.
"I'm glad that the opponent in the decisive battle is a real knight." "I'm his servant," said the girl in a gentle but cold tone, "and I'm a saber (swordsman), and I'm Arthur, King of England—and while this identity is supposed to be kept secret, you'll all recognize me...... I have to admit that your intelligence work is doing a good job. ”
"My name is Cheng Peng, I am from the East, I was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and my rank is lancer (spearman)." Cheng Peng also reported his home in a dignified manner.
His gaze swept over the girl's armor, which was quite similar to Chu Fengge's, and finally landed on the sword she was wearing on the left side of her waist.
He was not familiar with the sword, but the scabbard was familiar—for a long time, it was his most important piece of equipment, and it was of great help to him, and it was finally used to exchange a city.
"Speaking of which, I remember having had the privilege of writing to you......" he said tentatively.
When he said this, King Arthur's expression immediately froze for a few seconds.
Ding Dan obviously didn't expect Cheng Peng to say this, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at his servant, and immediately noticed that King Arthur's situation was wrong.
"Hey! What the hell did you do! Ding Dan suddenly became anxious and shouted angrily.
Before Cheng Peng could answer, King Arthur had returned to normal, but her temperament had changed in just a few seconds and became calm. If she had the impression that she was an unsheathed sword, it is now properly tucked away in its scabbard - ready to be pulled out again to slash enemies!
"Hmm...... Cheng Peng...... I remember you. The girl said in a slightly surprised tone, "I always wanted to thank you when I was alive, but I didn't have a chance until I died—I didn't expect to see you in this way......"
She bowed slightly and thanked Cheng Peng: "Respected sage, thank you very much for your teaching and reminder to me, which not only allowed me to end my life with a decent identity, but also allowed me to properly fulfill my duties as a king, and I can meet death without complaint." Such kindness, toothless and unforgettable! ”
"What?!" Ding Dan was stunned again, "Why would Saber say such a thing?" This is inconsistent with her identity! Adventure 49
Cheng Peng smiled, put away the ice and snow spear, took a step forward, and stretched out his right hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
The slender palm of the hand wearing the silver-white "color" hand and the broad palm of the hand wearing the gold "color" hand armor held each other, and the two eyes met without giving in.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to win this fight."
"Ha, I don't have the confidence you have—but now that we're here, let's put aside all our worries and have a good fight!"
When Cheng Peng returned to Du Zaoniao's side, she was suspicious and slightly dissatisfied in the private chat channel: "Master, what have you done?" King Arthur feels a lot stronger......"
Cheng Peng smiled slightly and said lightly: "I didn't do anything, I just inspired the plot related to King Arthur." Now in this state, she doesn't think it will be so easy to become someone else's pawn. ”
In fact, even he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
[You activated the "King Arthur the Achiever" story, and the covenant between Saber and the Rider Master was forcibly dissolved!] 】
——————
The conditions that inspire the "King Arthur the Winner": 1. It once led King Arthur to win the final battle and end as a glorious king; 2. Appeared at the same time as King Arthur in the Holy Grail War, and did not fight before; 3. King Arthur had a scabbard at that time. After these three conditions are met, mentioning "King Arthur the Achiever" in a peaceful state will cause the state of King Arthur of the Heroic Spirit to change, with a more mature personality and increased intelligence, and the forced breaking of any hostile relationships and entering a neutral state.
