Chapter 49: The Castle Banquet (I)
That night, Zhou Yuan was invited on time and came to the castle where Artoria was. Although this Q&A will have a certain impact on history, Zhou Yuan also has his own reasons for participating.
What's more, if done properly, it doesn't necessarily change history too badly.
It seems that Zhou Yuan was the first to arrive. The King of Conquest had gone to pick wine and had not yet returned, and Gilgamesh should not have received an invitation by this time, judging by the schedule.
Of course, Zhou Yuan used a berserker state that was completely entangled by the evil of this world, and he didn't take the initiative to show up, but squatted on the roof and waited for others to come.
As long as Zhou Yuan doesn't take the initiative to show up, then it is impossible for others to find Zhou Yuan's existence, there is no doubt about this, especially after the evil of this world has specialized Zhou Yuan's energy.
Five minutes later, the King of Conquest rode into the main entrance of Einzberen Castle in an ox cart.
"It's been a while since you came," Zhou Yuan's figure quietly appeared in the open space next to him, "Have you bought good wine?"
"Scared!"
Artoria aimed her weapon at Zhou Yuan almost immediately.
"Calm down, little girl," said the King of Conquest, waving his hand, "he's just here to drink." But...... Your ability to block the breath of your hand is quite powerful, it's like an assassin. ”
"It's still not the same, at least in principle," Zhou Yuan casually found a place close to the wine barrel, just sat cross-legged, and then took off his helmet, "My former king...... Even then, you don't recognize who I am?"
Originally, according to Zhou Yuan's thoughts, Zhou Yuan was now infinitely close to Lancelot in appearance, voice and even temperament, and Artoria should have opened her eyes in an instant, and then had some incredible emotions like that. When the time comes, if Zhou Yuan reveals the truth again, it will be a little interesting.
Even Alice Phil, who didn't know this face, showed surprise on her face because of Zhou Yuan's words, but Artoria breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost made a mistake before. Now it seems...... Sure enough, you're not Lancelot. ”
Zhou Yuan's fair and serious and even hateful momentum and angry expression were swept away in an instant, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"I think I'm pretending to be pretty similar," Zhou Yuan shrugged, "What was the flaw that led to King Arthur's recognition?"
"That's the courtier of the little girl! Even if you betray the little girl, if you can't even recognize the body, won't it make people laugh?"
The King of Conquest laughed and patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder, and handed Zhou Yuan the scoop full of wine by the way.
"Indeed, your disguise is almost perfect. But......" Artoria said with a smile on her lips, as if to bring back fond memories, "that guy always called me Arthur." ”
"Okay...... It seems that the prank has failed," Zhou Yuan sighed and drank all the wine handed over by the King of Conquest, "King of Conquest, have you invited anyone to come?"
"Well, it's a shiny blonde guy...... By the way, how did you know that the little girl was King Arthur? Although I gave my name in the first battle, the little girl probably didn't sign up. ”
"Probably because of his real name, the ability to see through the true identity of the Heroic Spirit," Gilgamesh didn't know when he appeared among the three of them, "Even if the berserker doesn't go berserk, does he still have this level of perception?"
"What's the matter? I remember the last time we saw you, I was chased and cut by you," Zhou Yuan glanced at the hero king sitting opposite him, "Don't you cut me this time?"
"Don't be smug, you've just proved that you're not a wild dog who can't even control your emotions. ”
Gilgamesh immediately retorted.
"If you try it at the mad level, madness is not something that anyone can suppress. ”
"I'm not here today to quarrel! Today's purpose is to ask everyone what they are doing with the Holy Grail if they all need the Holy Grail," the King of Conquest saw that Zhou Yuan and Gilgamesh were about to fight, and quickly changed the topic, "This is the so-called Holy Grail Q&A before the Holy Grail battle. ”
As he spoke, the King of Conquest handed the wine in his hand to the King of Heroes.
"How...... Do you drink this kind of stuff?"
Gilgamesh just took it and tasted it, and then poured it all out.
"I usually can't drink even a little alcohol for what I usually do," Zhou Yuan spread his hands, indicating that he didn't have anything, "I have a lot of good wine over there, but unfortunately I can't bring it, but there is still a little bit of appetizer." ”
"Appetizers?"
The remaining three people present looked at Zhou Yuan with strange eyes.
"Okay...... It's our habit there, if you drink alcohol, you have to have some food. ”
While speaking, Zhou Yuan took out the bullet box that had been placed in the warehouse of Wei Gong's house before, spread a tablecloth and continued to use it as a table, and then took out a few plates of snacks from the bracelet.
Of course, these snacks are another world-class gem, although seafood is a bit more important. Zhou Yuan doesn't have much stock left here, and these should be the last parts.
"It is indeed good food, but there is nothing so delicious in the King's treasury," Gilgamesh agreed after only a sip, "in that case...... The king has to come up with the best drink. In the king's treasury, only the best things are stored. ”
As he said this, Gilgamesh took out a golden flask and four glasses from the king's treasure. After pouring all four glasses into the glasses, Gilgamesh raised his hand and handed them to the other three in turn.
"Distilled spirits? No, not distilled spirits. ”
Zhou Yuan took it in his hand and looked at it. There was no such thing as distillation in Gilgamesh's time, and the distilled liquor was generally high-spirited, and it was not to Gilgamesh's liking.
To be precise, this is a variant of wine, and the pigment inside has been completely drained, giving it a transparent color. And even if you put your nose up and smell it, you can smell a lot of grape aromas and wines, and the two flavors not only do not conflict, but echo each other.
Zhou Yuan's best wine in the world, I'm afraid it can only be tied with this thing.
"So...... Berserker, what are you going to do when you get the Holy Grail?"
