"Yes, that's my choice. As for confidence..."
Black Hair nodded, then smiled and glanced back and forth among Ma and the other three.
"You mean us?" En raised an eyebrow.
The three girls looked over as well, and were a little confused.
What the hell!
Do you have such high hopes for us?!
"No," Wu Mao shook his head.
“I mean ‘humanity’, it won’t perish so easily.”
She emphasized the word 'human' slightly, and Ma En instantly understood, but didn't say anything.
After all, this thing might not work if you put it bluntly.
Ok?
You ask what kind of riddle the two of them are playing?
It's not hard to guess; it's 'inhibition'.
Or rather, it is the collective consciousness of primates, Alaya!
He will not allow humanity to be destroyed so easily.
As for this, the Black Hairless Spirit, who was already familiar with Alaya, was naturally well aware of it.
That's why she dared to conclude that President Gai's plan would definitely fail, so her choice was essentially a way of 'getting free benefits'.
If I had to explain Black Hairless's actions in one sentence, it would be something like this.
I accepted your favor and will help you do bad things, but your bad things are basically doomed to fail. Therefore, I am not doing bad things. On the contrary, I took your favor and did a good thing, which is equivalent to me doing a good thing!
This logic seems to make no mistake.
Good guy!
They've taken advantage of the villain!
Are all Artorias this shrewd now? What a brilliant plan!
Of course, there's also the possibility that if Black Hair didn't choose this path, someone else would accept the Holy Grail.
So rather than having someone else do it, she felt it was better to do it herself, at least that way it was under her control.
Upon realizing this, Ma En couldn't help but give Hei Wumao a thumbs up.
Even Roman and Leonardo da Vinci, who had been 'eavesdropping' on the Chaldean side, couldn't help but admire it.
The 'ordinary people' who didn't understand the meaning behind it were completely bewildered.
I was like, 'Did they say anything?' 'It seems like they did, but then again, maybe not. Did you guys pick out anything?' 'No? Oh, never mind then.'
The three girls looked at each other, not understanding the meaning behind it.
However, judging from Marne's expression, he seems to understand 443.
And it seems they've already reached an agreement with this black-clad knight king.
So, this Knight King isn't an enemy?
As they were thinking this, Black Hair had finished all the food in his hands and pulled out his weapon again.
"Alright, that's enough chatting. Thank you for the food; thanks to it, I'm back to peak condition now."
She hadn't eaten anything before, and although she still felt hungry, she wasn't in any good condition.
But now, she's eaten her fill and is back to her peak condition.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but look at Ma and the other three with a touch of pity.
Actually, if she were still hungry, Maren and the others would have had a good chance of defeating her, but now, it's probably a bit risky.
Then I had a bit of a headache, wondering how I should deploy my forces to make the opponent defeat me.
After all, I've already agreed to help with the task. Although I'm not entirely willing, it wouldn't look good if I were to be too blatant in giving him the runaround, so it's a difficult situation.
"Huh?!" X3
This sudden change was unexpected by the three girls, and upon hearing Black Hairless's words, they couldn't help but look at Ma En with a hint of resentment.
No!
What's wrong with you?!
How is that aiding the enemy?!
Seeing this, Marx and Engels shrugged indifferently.
So what if we aid the enemy?!
We can't let the child go hungry!
Chapter 232 Mar and Eng: Enough, come to my country!
Feeding him brought Black Hair back to his peak condition.
This was something neither Marx nor Engels had anticipated.
After all, he was just a fan of Yunyue. Although he knew a lot, he didn't know many of the more detailed things.
However, he doesn't regret it.
Understanding Hei Wumao's predicament and her good intentions, and bringing the two closer, even if it made things a little more difficult, was worthwhile.
Thinking this, Marne stepped forward and also drew his weapon.
However, this time it wasn't the blade of immortality that slaughtered, but a golden sword.
Excalibur, the sword of valor!
"Since that's the case, then I'll just go through the motions with you."
Black Hair glanced at the weapon in Ma En's hand and raised an eyebrow: "Huh? A holy sword, huh? Looks like you're quite strong."
"Well, after all, you're my opponent, so I can't afford not to show my true strength."
"Well, to gain its approval, you are impeccable as an opponent, but I will not show any mercy because of that. Let me see what you can do!"
After exchanging only a few words, the black-haired man charged forward.
Since she accepted the Holy Grail, she naturally had to fulfill her promise and fight against Marne and others, which was unavoidable; it was a matter of principle.
Moreover, she also needed to test the abilities of Marne and others to see if they were worthy of being entrusted with the important task of saving humanity.
If they can't even beat her, then they should just go back to sleep; they'll be even less able to defeat the enemies that follow.
Maren didn't waste any words. From the moment he understood Hei Wumao's plan, he knew that this battle was inevitable.
Seeing that the black-haired man was the first to attack, he went to meet him.
Clang!
Swords clashed, producing a series of metallic clangs.
Black Hair's swordsmanship was skillful and ruthless, with every move aimed at the opponent's weak points and blind spots, showing no mercy whatsoever.
However, Ma En was not bad either. Although he had less combat experience, thanks to the blessing of [Endless Martial Training], his martial arts skills were quite proficient.
Although they seemed to be at a disadvantage and could only passively defend most of the time, they were still in a relatively comfortable position and did not fall into danger.
It's a bit taxing, but it's alright, Mar and Eng have plenty of stamina.
"His martial arts skills are good, but his experience is too poor. He has many flaws and is making up for them with strength alone. This won't do. He's wasting his strength and can't even use one-tenth of it."
While attacking, Black Hair also made comments about Mar and Eng.
Marx and Engels humbly accepted the truth, knowing it was true.
He is very strong, but he has hardly ever had any actual combat experience.
After all, his previous battles were mostly fought in a mage-style style with various ranged firepower.
Despite his immense strength, he rarely engages in close combat. Unlike those idle individuals, he is a remarkably competent mage.
However, it's not that he doesn't like close combat; it's just that he lacks such opportunities and rarely encounters opponents who can fight him to a standstill.
In addition, I don't usually practice against Nero and the Lion King, and I'm rather lazy, so my melee experience has never improved.
While dealing with the attacks from the black-haired man, well, although the black-haired man was sharp-tongued, he still held back, it was just not very obvious.
After all, Marx and Eng's attributes are what they are, and there is a gap in their raw strength.
Therefore, this seemingly dangerous battle was actually just a training exercise for Marx and Engels.
As Ma En fought, he corrected some mistakes and absorbed experience, and his fighting style gradually became more stable.
Gradually, Marx and Engels were even able to take the initiative, turning the situation from being at a disadvantage to being able to fight back and forth.
Marx and Engels also took the time to say a few words here.
"After things are over here, what are your plans? How about coming over with us? We can discuss other benefits, but at least we'll have plenty of delicious food. Besides what we just mentioned, we have lots of other great options. What do you think? Why not give it a try?"
His words caused Black Hair to pause slightly, while the three girls watching the show nervously were speechless.
Come on! This is a stage! Can't you be a little more serious?!
However, this suggestion seems quite good.
This black-haired guy was able to suppress Ma En at the beginning, so his strength is undeniable.
If the other party were to join Chaldea, that would be such a wonderful thing!
Even if something happens in the future, and there are still singularities to repair, I will have even more confidence.
I'm also very interested in the black hairless one.
Food is plentiful!
That sentence was incredibly tempting to her.
Instead, the food that Marne brought out was also very delicious, many times better than the food that Archer could provide in the early days.
