Chapter 15: The Banquet (4)
"I don't want to use the Holy Grail to go back in time and change what has happened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After stopping Gilgamesh, Enkidu calmly stared directly into Saber's serious gaze.
"I will be sad, scared, and cry for my death, but I will never regret it."
"How could it be ......?"
"Because, that's the result of my choice with Jill."
Although he was talking about his own death, Enkidu was now dressed in glory and was being worshipped.
"I was created by the goddess Alulu from clay and a sacred spring, and I was sent to the earth to fight against Jill and prevent humanity from appearing as a unified nation."
He smiled at Gilgamesh, who was also smiling, and fell into the memories of five thousand years ago.
"But in several life-and-death battles, we both recognized each other and finally chose to govern together. Uruk began to prosper under our rule. We fought in the north and south, defeated all our opponents, and Gil received all the treasures of the earth. ”
"But it didn't last long, as Ista fell in love with Gil's heroic appearance during the war, and after his outright refusal, she became angry and freed the Bull of Heaven to wreak havoc in our country. Although I worked with Gil to slay the bull of the sky, Ista appealed to the gods after this defeat, leaving me to die of weakness and disobedience to Alulu, the creator. ”
"It was a choice I made with Jill, and I betrayed them by refusing to carry out the mission God had sent me to kill Jill. So in the end he was born because of God and died because of God. ”
He looked proudly at Saber standing in front of him, without a trace of doubt in his eyes, and replied without hesitation.
"At that time, my life was not under my control, but my mind was free from the shackles imposed on me by the gods. Therefore, I am not confused about rebelling against the gods and finally dying from the gods, and I have no regrets. ”
Enkidu looked at Gilgamesh to his left, his eyes full of longing and tenderness for his friend for 5,000 years.
"Getting to know Jill and fighting with him is the happiest thing I've ever lived."
"Enkidu ......"
At this moment, Gilgamesh once again realized that this man was more precious and dazzling to him than all the treasures he had collected.
But in the next second, the faces of the four kings changed at the same time.
A moment later, Alice Phil and Webb also noticed something strange in the air around them. Although I can't see it, I can feel a very strong killing intent on my skin.
Strange white objects emerged from the moonlit atrium. One after the other, pale faces appeared in the atrium like flowers blooming.
The pale was the color of cold, dry bones.
With a skull mask and a black robe, the atrium, which was originally not very spacious, was gradually surrounded by this strange group.
Archer's face sank.
Since so many assassins have been mobilized, it is not the order of Yan Feng Qili alone, it must be the intention of Tosaka Shichen.
Because Shi Chen did his courtesy to the hero king, Archer also recognized him as a master. However, Shichen's behavior made Archer extremely dissatisfied with him.
"At the moment when I reunite with my friends, you dare to stir up trouble!!"
Golden ripples rippled again. This time, Gilgamesh summoned a strange Phantasm with an evil aura.
Breaking the talisman of ten thousand laws, this is the name of this treasure.
This treasure is the embodiment of the divinity of the famous witch of betrayal, Medea. It is a twisted dagger with a brownish-red grip and a blade that flows with colorful brilliance.
As if self-harming, he plunged the oddly shaped dagger into his chest in the astonished eyes of everyone. But then, a sound sounded as if a thread had been severed. Tosaka Tokitomi, who was waiting for the results in the magic workshop, found that the connection between himself and Archer had suddenly been cut off!
"Qili, what's going on at the scene? Has Archer been killed?!!! ”
"Not really, teacher. The Hero King stabbed himself in the chest with a strangely shaped dagger. ”
Suicide?
This absurd conclusion first appeared in Tosaka's mind, but he quickly denied it. How could the arrogant and arrogant hero king make such an evasive move.
In other words, a treasure that can break the connection between the master and the servant?
"Qili, there is a change of plans, let the assassins come back!"
Losing the hero king, Tosaka Toshitoki's tone is no longer as elegant and calm as usual. He anxiously shouted to Yan Feng Qili through the Demon Dao communicator, but what he got was an answer that made him almost collapse.
"Teacher, it's getting late. Rider uses the Inherent Enchantment to put everyone in it, including the Assassin. ”
"What !!!!"
This time, Tosaka Tokitomi, who has always regarded himself as a noble magician, let out a hysterical wail of defeat, and he was completely out of shape.
……
The white moonlight revealed the silence, and there was not a trace of dust in the air.
The battle between the Rider and the Assassin, or the unilateral ravage, ended quickly. The four servants sat back in their positions and raised their glasses again.
The Assassins were gone, and only the remains of the shackles severed by the dagger confirmed what had just happened.
"--What a disappointment."
Rider muttered nonchalantly, draining the rest of the wine from his glass.
"So see, Saber. This is the posture of a king. Although I am undeniably a tyrant, I have subjects who follow me until I die. ”
Iskandar looked at Saber's panicked gesture and interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"Tonight is a banquet between kings, but Saber, I don't recognize you as a king."
He summoned the chariot of the sacred cow, glanced at Saber one last time, and spoke in a sincere tone:
"I said, little girl, you better wake up from your painful dream. Otherwise, one day, you will lose even the most basic self-esteem of a hero - what you call the so-called 'king' is nothing more than a spell you have put on yourself. ”
"No, I-"
Ignoring Saber's final rebuttal, the lightning-glittering chariot soared into the sky. In the end, only the sound of thunder was left in my ears, and the chariot disappeared into the eastern sky.
"Let's go, Jill. I haven't seen each other for 5,000 years, so we have to reminisce about the past. ”
"Me too, Enkidu."
The Golden King and his best friend left the atrium empty again, ignoring Saber and Alice Phil on the side, with only each other in their eyes.
In this way, a battle between the king's beliefs came to an end.
It's a different battle than a battle in the ordinary sense, but it's a battle. In order to carry out the king's beliefs, the Heroic Spirits also have many reasons why they must gamble their lives.
was denied by three kings in a row, and even Saber, who pulled out the sword of the king and still had no hesitation after seeing his end, fell into hesitation.
In particular, after witnessing the warriors gathered under the conquering king, she remembered once again the words of a knight of the round table who had left her - King Arthur did not understand the human heart.
But her eyes were still as clear and serene as ever. Flashing with confidence.
"If I ask about my merits as a king, I will not get an answer if I ask about the past. Now it's time to ask for the Holy Grail. That's why I'm here. ”
