236. The Bewitching Game

"Hey, Qili. Have you noticed the real meaning of this question I am asking you? ”

"What do you mean?"

Gilgamesh's words made Yan Fengqili a little puzzled.

Is there anything wrong with what I just thought?

No matter how much he thought about it, Yan Feng Qili couldn't find the answer to the question raised by Gilgamesh. It is the humility of the priesthood to humbly study what he does not understand, and he asks Gilgamesh bluntly:

"Tell me, Archer. Assuming that the night of the wild goose wins the final victory, what is the point? ”

"No, it doesn't make any sense at all. Hey, don't look at me with such a horrible expression. I've told you how many times, I'm not kidding. The question itself doesn't make any sense, but behind it lies another, more interesting and meaningful question. ”

Gilgamesh paused for a few seconds, then looked at Yan Fengqili with interest:

"As I said, it makes no sense to assume that the Holy Grail War is won. But why, is it that a man like you, who is almost completely rational, completely pragmatic and realistic, has never felt that he is actually wasting time thinking about a meaningless question? Don't you think it's worth thinking about? ”

"Just say it. What exactly are you trying to express? ”

"If I had asked you the same question using another Master as an example, you would have immediately realized that the question was pointless and would have cleared the boring question out of your brain. But when it comes to the Berserker Master, your reaction is completely different. Instead of thinking it's a boring question, you indulge in this hypothetical thinking with interest. ”

"What can support the continuation of this wasteful action is interest, and of course curiosity, the desire to explore, and so on. But all of this shows that you get joy from what you're doing, and you revel in it. Congratulations, Qili, this is called entertainment. A form of activity that is carried out purely for the sake of pleasure. ”

"Entertainment? Is that what you mean by pleasure? ”

Gilgamesh nodded:

"Of course."

Yan Feng Qili suddenly realized something, he grabbed the soft armrests on the left and right of the sofa with both fists, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:

"No, that's not right!"

"In the fate of the wild goose, there is no element that can make people feel happy. The longer he lived, the heavier the pain and lamentation accumulated in him. For him, ending his life early was a kind of salvation. Entertaining through this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! ”

"Why do you have such a narrow definition of pleasure, O Qili?"

The so-called chickens and ducks talk about playing the harp to cows, and it is only fitting to express what Gilgamesh looks like now.

However, what makes Gilgamesh different from the situation described by these two words is that he knows very well that the man he is talking to has understood the meaning of what he is saying, and that it is only because of the persistence and shackles left on him by his past experiences that he resists his ideas. Therefore, Gilgamesh strikes while the iron is hot:

"Pain, lamentation, despair...... Is there any contradiction between them and pleasure? Pleasure is such a thing, but there is no specific form, and the reason why you feel lost and resisted is precisely because you don't understand it. ”

"No!" Yan Feng Qili shouted angrily: .

"Hero King, only a demonic person like you would take pleasure in savoring the pain of others, this is a punishable crime!" :

"Do you think pleasure itself is a sin? You're wrong. ”

In the face of Yan Feng Qili's roar, Gilgamesh's reaction was only to frown calmly:

"Of course, the so-called facts speak louder than words, and those sneaky miscellaneous people you sent out just now should be going to do something stealing chickens and dogs under the arrangement of Shi Chen, right?"

Yan Feng Qili did not speak, but Gilgamesh, who had always been above the top, did not feel displeased, but said very patiently:

"Since you have doubts about my words, then you can try to follow your servants to see how Caster is doing, and believe me, you will definitely gain something."

Yan Feng Qili was silent for a long time, and finally got up from the sofa and stood up.

"What? Qili, aren't you going to have a few drinks with me? ”

"I'm sorry, King Hero. I have something to go out and do. ”

"Okay then? Anyway, it's 'the action that must be taken in order to get the Holy Grail', right? ”

Yan Feng Qili did not answer, but walked straight out of his private room.

Glancing at Yan Fengqili's back, Gilgamesh squinted and smiled, his extremely handsome face by human aesthetic standards looked very amiable.

In ancient Babylonian mythology, Gilgamesh was the ruler of Uruk, with a high level of divinity of two-thirds god and one-third man. He used to be a tyrannical ruler, but after his fellowship with Enkidu, he became a promising king. He was the most admired hero of the Uruk people in southwestern Mesopotamia, and was therefore known as the King of Heroes.

But just as there is only one step between a genius and a madman, the distance between a god and a demon is much closer than the distance between a god and a man.

When Yan Feng Qili sarcastically ridiculed Gilgamesh for being demonic, Gilgamesh did not get angry or angry, on the one hand, because Yan Feng Qili was not wrong from a certain point of view, and on the other hand, because in the eyes of the Hero King, Yan Feng Qili was quite interesting as a human being, worthy of his tongue, and worthy of some tolerance.

Many pet owners have been scratched and bitten by their own cats and dogs, but as long as there are extenuating circumstances, such as accidentally hurting their pets in the process of playing, resulting in being caught, basically the owners will not be angry.

In Gilgamesh's eyes, Yan Fengqili's act of resistance was only temporary.

In the presence of transcendents who once possessed everything in the world, the little thoughts of mortals are but a cover for the clumsiness of children.

Naturally, the dark side of Yan Feng Qili's heart has nothing to hide in front of Gilgamesh.

The "happiness" that Yanfeng Qili has been pursuing, its true face......

"Pursue it for your own excitement. This is the right way to entertain. Then entertainment will bring pleasure, and pleasure will lead you in the direction of happiness. ”

"The way has been pointed to you, Qili. It's very clear to you, so what are you going to do next? Forget it, it's also fun not to guess and enjoy the unexpected direction of the story. ”

Gilgamesh's body dissipated as a spirit child, and the delicate glass goblet fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of star chips.

…………………………

"Hey, Rider! You're lying in bed again and playing a game while eating senbei! Every time I get the gamepad all oiled, you know how much work it takes me to wipe it clean? ”

Webb Velvet has been crazy for a few times.

After coming to Fuyuki City, Weber found a single-family two-story building on the outskirts of the city, and used magic to hypnotize the owners of the small building, an old couple, and made them think that Weber was their grandson who studied abroad and lived in it.

In the wee hours of the morning, Rider and Webb returned to their temporary residence after a banquet in Einzbergberg.

It was almost daylight, and since he planned to go to the library during the day to look up information about Iskandar and other suspected historical prototypes of the Heroic Spirit, Webb decided not to sleep for the time being.

After making this decision, Webb went downstairs and made himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

However, when he returned to his bedroom on the second floor, he saw a giant man with his feet lazily lying on the bed, chewing on a fairy shell and playing a game.

"Oh, don't be so stingy? Don't you play games a lot, too? I still learned to play games with you. ”

"I'm relaxing! Occasional relaxation! Just give the tense brain a break. And I'm not going to get the gamepad all oil! I'm going to use it myself! ”

"Eating can take in energy, and it can reduce the burden of your mana, I'm completely thinking about it!"

"Obviously, the way to consume the least is to be spiritualized, and you who refuse to be spiritualized and want to maintain the entity are simply greedy!"

Webb snatched the gamepad from Iskandar's hand. Iskandar shook his head helplessly and sat up from the bed.

"Alas, it's always so angry......"

Although with Iskander's strength, if he really used his strength, he would not be able to grab the gamepad if he gave Webb two more hands, Iskandar did not do so.

"This thing called a gamepad, the buttons on it are so small, isn't there a bigger one?"

Hearing Iskandar's complaint, Webb subconsciously looked at Iskandar's hand.

Worthy of being a two-meter-tall muscular giant, Iskandar's hands are like a fan, and his fingers are extremely thick and powerful, one can be as thick as his own.

After all, the gamepad is designed according to the size of a normal person's palm, and an oversized hand like Iskandar is not in the target group of the manufacturer.

Webb placed a steaming cup of coffee in front of Iskandar. He sat down on the edge of the bed with another cup of hot coffee.

Iskandar took a sip of his coffee and stuck out his tongue.

"This thing called coffee smells good, but it tastes weird, sour and bitter. Why do you like to drink this stuff? ”

"It's meant to be refreshing, isn't it enough to have a scent? Besides, this is already an American style with water, and if it is an espresso, it will be even stronger. If you don't like bitterness, give you more sugar and milk later. ”

Webb took a sip of hot coffee, glanced at the gamepad, and wondered:

"It's the same gamepad, haven't you always played it well? Why are you complaining all of a sudden? ”

"The game I used to play was a game called a strategy game, so you can just press it slowly, and it doesn't matter if the controller is smaller, but now I've found a new genre that seems to be called 'action games'. You have to press all kinds of keys all the time, so ......"

"I see."

Webb glanced at the TV as a monitor, and the game's promotional video CG was now playing on the screen due to the game being paused.

In the film, an ancient military general in silver armor, holding a spear, and wearing a narrow azure cloak suddenly jumped and slashed up and down in the air, and the spear in his hand formed a bow due to the huge force, smashing a building ship into two pieces.

On the other side, another black beast-patterned armored general jumped out, holding a strange weapon that resembled a giant dart, and fought with the silver-armored general.

The two generals changed the battlefield while fighting, and the power of the battle was simply devastating.

"Is this a new game? Looks pretty good. ”

"How? I have a good eye for choosing games, right? ”

Iskandar patted his thick pectoralis major muscles and gave a proud thumbs up.

"Shall I try? Where are the operation guides and key settings? ”

"It's okay, the buttons are still quite simple, you see, the one that can rotate at the position of your left thumb is the direction, and the buttons on the right are normal attacks, special attacks, and a super skill that can only be used after the cyan energy gauge at the bottom of the screen runs from left to right......"

As well as being a magician, Webb is also a lover of video games. I often fill out surveys from game companies and spend a lot of money to buy some limited edition games. Seeing interesting games, he also not only itched hands. Tried it out with Iskandar's introduction.

"Look, little ghost, this is one of the two people you saw fighting before. There are some hidden characters in this game that you have to achieve some achievements to choose from, but this one can be chosen from the start, and I think it's pretty useful. ”

Webb was playing with it, and suddenly he felt as if he remembered something.

His own master suddenly stared at the screen motionless while playing the game, and even the big-hearted Iskandar was frightened, and he asked:

"What's wrong? Gremlin? Is there anything wrong? ”

Webber slowly turned his head, pointed to the character on the screen, and asked Iskandar:

"Hey, Rider, don't you think this character is a bit like a berserker?"

"Huh? berserker? This...... It's really a bit like it, silver armor, white horses, and it's all with spears......"

"Where did you get this game?"

Iskandar's huge head spun around a few times, and he pulled out a box under the bed and handed it to Webb.

"It's in this box."

Webb took the box of the disc handed by Iskandar, he had done a lot of homework before coming to the island nation, and he liked video games, so he could still make out the relatively simple and common square words printed on the box.

"Three...... Three Kingdoms? ”

Weber scratched his head and asked the Emperor:

"I don't know a lot about East Asian culture, Rider, aren't you being called with memories of modern basics and historical knowledge? Do you know what this Three Kingdoms is? ”

"Three Kingdoms? It seems that it is the ancient historical period of a country called Huaguo in the west corner of the island where we are now, in the southeast corner of the Asian continent, right? In my memory, this history seems quite famous? ”
