Friends who have watched car racing know that when the car crosses the finish line, it must be moving at full speed, and after crossing the finish line, you need to continue to slide on the track, gradually slow down, and finally stop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The finish line is the Einzberen Forest, but the actual stop is in front of the castle gates.

The Einzbelen Forest is covered with a large-scale barrier, and it is only natural that such a blatant intrusion will trigger the early warning and defense mechanism of the barrier.

Sensing the suppression of the enchantment, Rider and Archer did the same thing in the process of slowing down - destroying the enchantment, specifically destroying the forest.

Although the core of the enchantment is inside the castle, it is not enough to have only one core for such a large range of enchantments, and it is also necessary to steadily transform the spiritual power extracted from the leylines and spread them outward. And these cardinal points are set in the lush, endless forest just outside the castle.

Destroying the forest is the basis of destroying the barrier, which is equivalent to destroying the barrier itself.

Alice Phil, who is connected to the enchantment, is inevitably affected, and the alarm caused by the intruder and the magic caused by the destruction of the enchantment disturb her magic circuit, almost causing her to faint on the spot.

She didn't need to say more, Saber already knew what was going on, and the intruder didn't hide his presence and rushed straight from the front.

Although the exact number of intruders is unknown, the thunder outside the window and this bold way indicate that there is a Rider among them.

Considering the mobility of the tank, it was too late to retreat at this time, and it was only possible to meet it with dignity.

Having made this judgment, Saber and Alice Fell went to the terrace outside the entrance, where they should be able to encounter a frontal attacker.

However, when the two of them saw the intruder standing in the hall with their chests up through the moonlight from the skylight, they were speechless.

The combination of Archer, Rider, and Assassin is strange enough in itself, and even stranger is the outfit of the trio.

Three people, three different painting styles, and none of them are combat-based.

You're not here for an outing?—— it's a bit rude, but that's what Alice Phil thinks.

And the next scene also proved that her idea was not wrong.

"Yo, Saber, I wanted to see if you had a castle - how did it happen?"

Rider grinned without guilt as he twisted his neck as if he were tired.

"There are so many trees in the yard, it's really inconvenient to get in and out. I almost got lost before I got to the city gate. The king has already cut down some of the trees for you, so you have to thank him. ”

"Rider, you... You guys..."

Saber looked serious and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Hey, Rider, look at Saber's face, you haven't told her what you're going to do, have you?" Archer rolled out of the car and put the Golden Babylon into the King's Treasure in Shinji's stunned.

Yes, that's right, he put the locomotive in, and Skaha didn't have such a treasure, so he had to park it in the corner of the entrance.

"yes, I'm going to say it now. But until then, Knight King, don't wear that rigid armor, and change into the clothes of this era like us. Rider said as he slapped his hand on the Grand Strategy logo on his chest, as if to show off.

“…… No matter how rigid Saber's armor is, it's better than your cheap T-shirt and jeans. ”

Shinji's expression betrayed his heart, and Webber and Alice Fell were also betrayed by their expressions.

The former's face reads "I want to go home soon".

The latter's face read, "What the hell do you want to do?", which Saber asked on her behalf.

"Don't you understand?" said Rider, picking up the barrel from the gap in the chariot, "Alright, don't be there in a daze, lead the way." Isn't there a courtyard for banquets? It's too bad to drink in this ruined city. ”

Saber sighed helplessly, the anger that had been stored in her chest was gone, and she couldn't keep her fighting spirit in the face of an unhostile opponent.

Alice Phil was in the same mood, and although she was angry that our barrier had been destroyed, she couldn't hate the other person's smile for lack of tension anyway.

"Saber, what are they going to do? They look like they're really here for a drink......

"No, it's a challenge. ”

Saber had already put away her fighting spirit, but her expression was still serious.

"Challenge?"

"Yes. Standing here tonight are the kings of a nation. Dividing the winner at the wine table is tantamount to a bloodless battle"

Perhaps hearing Saber's whisper, the King of Conquest smiled and nodded.

"Hmph, you know that. Since you can't fight each other with swords, then use wine to fight the victory. Knight King, this king won't let you go tonight, get ready. ”

Rider had said that he would not fight Saber until Saber and Lancer had won the battle, and that it was a pact that the Heroic Spirit would trade for his dignity, and he would not break it, so he chose to fight Saber this way.

"Interesting, I'm willing to take it. ”

Saber accepted the challenge, her face radiating the same awe-inspiring aura as she had been on the battlefield. At this point, Alice Phil finally understands that this is not a joke, but the beginning of a real victory.

……

The choice of banquet venue was the garden in the castle's atrium.

The scars of the previous night's battle hadn't reached the area, and there was no shame in entertaining guests, but Archer was still unhappy.

"Choosing such a small and breathless place to hold the 'King's Banquet', mongrels only have this taste. ”

Archer didn't say who exactly the 'mongrel' was referring to, whether it was Rider, the party host, Saber, or both.

"Don't say that, Archer. Before Rider and Saber could speak, Shinji spoke, "This is already the best place in Fuyuki City, and there was a luxurious hotel that might suit your taste, but it was bombed two days ago. ”

"Shut up, magician. Archer's ruby eyes looked directly at Shinji arrogantly, "If you want to speak to this king, at least you should remove your disguise." Hiding one's head and tail in front of the king is the greatest disrespect. ”

Shinji knew Archer's character, and he knew that his eyesight was on the same level as Skaha, and he didn't get angry, but bowed humbly.

"I apologize to the three of you, for some unavoidable reasons, you can't show your true face, please forgive me. ”

It's not difficult to get along with Archer, as long as you don't fight him, follow him, and make him feel happy, he won't bother with you.

"The attitude is quite sincere, and this king will not investigate you for the crime of disrespect this time. Sure enough, Archer snorted lightly, and no longer talked to Shinji, or even to mention his dissatisfaction with the "venue".

Saber and Rider also showed the atmosphere of kings, and laughed it off, Rider easily knocked open the lid of the barrel with his fist bulging with his bones, and the mellow aroma of red wine immediately filled the air in the atrium at night.

The "King's Banquet" began.
