Chapter Ninety-Four: The King's Feast

"So...... Let's start – the Holy Grail is not for wine. Now we're going to do ...... is a Grail Q&A that examines each other's eligibility for the Holy Grail, where you first say why you want the Holy Grail. As the king, convince the kings present that you are eligible to receive the Holy Grail. Rider's wild words were loud. "So...... Who's coming first?"

First of all, we are going to 'fight' for the Holy Grail, and your question is far from that premise. "The first to respond to Rider was the Golden Heroic Spirit.

"Oh?"

Seeing Rider raise an eyebrow in surprise, Archer sighed helplessly.

"It was supposed to be my possession. All the treasures in the world originated from my collection, but because it was a long time later, it was lost from my treasury, but its owner is still me. ”

"So you're saying you ever had the Holy Grail, and you know what it is?"

"Nope. ”

Archer faintly dismissed Rider's question.

"It's not something you can understand. The total amount of my possessions is even beyond my own knowledge, but as long as it is a 'treasure', then it must belong to me, that is clear. It's a little self-aware that you want to take my treasure by force. ”

Now it was Saber's turn to be speechless. "Your words are similar to Caster's, and it seems that he's not the only deranged Servant. ”

"Hey, what do you say. Unlike Saber, Rider muttered as if in response. As he picked up the crystal bottle, he filled the glass again. "Speaking of which, I think I still know your real name. There should be only one man who is more proud than Iskander. Combined with what the harem king said before, I am already very sure. Webber immediately listened intently, but Rider turned to Karn. "By the way, the Harem King, how did you know his real name?"

"Ahhh~ I found out from some strange source~ Let me keep this a secret. In short, just look at the skill of the king's treasure that I imitated him, and you know that I am familiar with him. Karn lay on his side casually as if he were in his own home, with his head in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and drank in such a position that he would not choke, which was a little admirable. Aside from Saber, the other two were unconcerned about Karn's casualness.

"That's it~ Then forget it...... Then again...... "Rider turned the conversation back. "Archer, so as long as you nod yes, then we can get the Holy Grail?"

"Of course, but I have no reason to reward rats like you. ”

"Can't you be reluctant?"

"Of course not, I reward only my subjects and people. ”

Archer smiled mockingly at Rider.

"Or Rider, if you're willing to surrender to me, I'll give you a cup or two. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, that can't be done. ”

Rider scratched his chin, as if sensing that the other party's conditions were too high, so he simply turned his head.

"But Archer, it doesn't really matter to you whether you have a Holy Grail or not, and you don't want to compete for the Holy Grail to fulfill any wishes. ”

"Of course. But I can't spare the guy who took my treasure, it's a matter of principle...... That is to sayβ€”"

Rider drained the glass of wine. "What is that to say, is there any reason for this?"

"It's the law. Archer replied immediately. "The laws that I have made as king. ”

"Hmm. Rider seemed to understand his words and sighed deeply. "What a perfect king, able to follow through on the rules he has set. But ah, I still want the Holy Grail, and I just grab it if I want it, because I'm the king of conquest. ”

"Not necessarily. As long as you come to commit it, I can sanction it, and there is no room for negotiation. ”

"Then we'll only see you on the battlefield. ”

Archer nodded at the same time as Rider with a serious expression.

"β€”But Archer, let's have a drink anyway, and we'll leave the fight for later. ”

"Of course, how can such a good wine be spared?"

The words of the two were like two children who were stealing wine.

"Haha~ This wine is wonderful~ I've never seen a better wine in the seven years since I got this wine~" Karn, the party who was "stolen from the wine", didn't care, but proudly showed off.

"Ahhh~ Indeed! Not to mention seven years, I have never seen it even in my life!"

"If nothing else, this wine is really the best wine. ”

Both Rider and Archer applauded, satisfying Karn's vanity.

At this moment, Archer, Rider, and her master had made Saber unable to tell whether they were friend or foe, and she could only sit silently and watch the three of them. After a few moments, she finally spoke to Rider. "King of Conquest, since you have acknowledged that the Holy Grail is someone else's property, do you still want to take it by force?"

"Well, of course, my belief is 'conquest'...... That is, 'seizure' and 'invasion'. ”

Saber suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Then why do you want to get the Holy Grail?"

Rider actually smiled a little embarrassedly, and he took a sip of wine and replied, "I want to be human." ”

It was an unexpected answer, and even Webb said "ah" before pointing at Rider and shouting in an almost frenzied tone. "Oh, you, do you want to conquer the world?!!"

"Well...... Even if we appear in the present world with magical powers, we are only servants in the end, and we do not exist in this world in the first place...... It's a little ridiculous, but it'...... I want to be reborn in this world and live as a human being. ”

"......" recalls that Webb originally thought that it was Rider's quirk to dislike spirits and insist on appearing in physical form. Indeed, while the Servant can speak, dress, eat, and so on like a human, it is no more than a ghost in nature.

"Why...... So you want the flesh?"

"Because...... This is the foundation of 'conquest!'" Iskandar muttered as he stared at his clenched fists. "Have a body, march to heaven and earth, and carry out my conquestβ€”that is the way of my king. But now I don't have a body, it's not going to work. Nothing can begin without this. I wasn't afraid of anything, I just felt that I had to have the flesh. ”

"Ahhh~ Indeed~ If it were me, I would be like this, and I couldn't experience the feeling of flesh and blood...... It's uncomfortable to think about~" Karn was lying down drinking...... While taking the words of Rider.

"Hey~yes~" Rider smiled. "Speaking of which, what is your wish?

"My wish, my wish is to participate in the Holy Grail War~"

"Huh?"

"Huh, why?"

"That's because of ...... Itchy!" Karn took a sip, his expression very arrogant.

"Oh ?!! roar," Archer and Rider's expressions became very interested.

"In the past seven years, the opponents I have experienced have been magicians. Fighting a magician is either too easy or too cumbersome. If they can't use magic, they won't have any combat power, but if they use magic to fight, the battle will become like solving a math problem, and it will be too troublesome to find all kinds of rules to solve magic. As for those who rely on strengthening techniques to make their bodies strong, not only are they full of flaws, but even if they are strengthened, their bodies are weak and weak, and their combat skills are also unsightly. Karn looked at Rider and Archer with a provocative look in his eyes. "What I want is something that makes my blood boil...... Simply fight furious!"

"Really...... Funny guy!" Rider replied with an equally arrogant smile.

"Hmph! You're a good guy...... Forgive you for the crime of imitating the majesty of this king. Instead...... What will I give you a reward...... I!I'll make you die a glorious death if you challenge me!" Archer looked appreciative at Karn, but his words were dangerous.

"Huh...... Don't worry!Hero King~ I'll kill you sooner or later. From the moment you insulted my Lord Hestia when you first met, you were destined to die!"

"Ho, what a disgusting servant......! The presence of your God is ...... to you Not an object of faith, is it?" Archer saw the affection for the god in Karn's words, not faith in the spirit of a believer, but ...... Like a wife...... Love.

"That's right...... This is not my faith at all, but love and desire. If you want to call it faith, it is too ugly and vulgar. Karn graciously conceded. "But...... She...... It is the existence that saved me, the God who gave me a new birth, the goddess in the true sense of the word. So...... No matter how explicit my feelings may be, I will not allow anyone to slander my God...... You...... Mortal!"

"......," Archer stared at Karn. "I'm waiting for you!"
