Chapter 234: Gilgamesh's Gift

"Indeed...... There is a difference between you and the Hero King. But hopefully you're not playing tricks, or you'll regret your decision today. ”

The girl said, and slowly lowered her sword.

"Haha, anyway, it's an unexpected surprise that the three of us can get together again."

Iskandar laughed heartily.

"Do you want to have another discussion about the king here in Camelot?"

“…… I've discussed such a boring issue with you, even my trespassers are too unqualified. ”

Gilgamesh shrugged his shoulders in an incomprehensible look.

"Don't say that, since we all have our own country and have established our own rule in history, it would be good to exchange experiences with each other."

Iskandar didn't give up and tried to win Gilgamesh over.

"Forget it, I want to talk to the little ghost more than that king."

Gilgamesh rubbed his head, then turned his gaze to me, who was standing innocently on the side.

"The little ghost leads the way, this king wants to find a quiet place to talk."

"Eh, do you want it now? There are still many things to do......"

"That's right, now! This king has deliberately spoken, do you still use such a sloppy attitude? ”

Gilgamesh said categorically, and there was no room for compromise in his tone.

“…… All right. ”

I nodded helplessly, too.

"Artoria, and Iskander, I'll come back to you later."

"Understood. Shirou is careful, once you find an accident, please call me as soon as possible! ”

The girl nodded slightly, but in the depths of her eyes, she still did not let her guard down on Gilgamesh.

After all, the impression left on her by this guy in front of her seems to be too bad, and it can't be changed in one or two sentences......

"Don't worry, Knight King, the little ghost is clever. We just have to believe in Him. ”

Iskandar threw his arms over his hips and gave me a thumbs up.

——

"Alright, it's just the two of us now. Is there something that can be said? ”

In the chamber, Gilgamesh and I sat across from each other.

"Don't worry, even if it's a small matter, as long as it comes out of the mouth of this king, it is enough for you to deal with it with all your might."

Gilgamesh, however, was unhurried, took a teacup from the table and took two sips.

"It's a good drink. Although the subjects of Uruk, the original king, had the habit of soaking in water with leaves, the originator could not be compared with the reformer. ”

"You savor it first, and call me when you feel enough."

I shook my head, stood up and prepared to walk out.

"Imp, open your right hand before you go."

Gilgamesh didn't lift his eyelids, and said flatly.

It seems that he has no intention of retaining.

"Right hand? Is that so? ”

Although I was puzzled, I still did what I said.

In the open palms, there was nothing.

Smack——!

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers.

Sou!

Suddenly, a golden phantom appeared in the palm of my hand.

Looking at the shape of the phantom, it is obviously a delicate key.

"Isn't that ...... The key to the treasury of Babylon? ”

Looking at the object, my mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Yes, just add the word 'fake' in front of it."

Gilgamesh put down the teacup in his hand and looked at me with a slightly serious look.

"I know...... But why is it in my hands? ”

"Remember how the king gave you the way to cast your body? The moment you helped the king to condense his body, the concept of the key to the treasury of Babylon naturally entered your body at the king's behest. Now the king has activated it for you. ”

"In the future, as long as you have this key, you will be able to use all the weapons in the King's Treasury. Of course, it's all fakes. ”

Gilgamesh's tone was unwavering, making it impossible to guess his emotions at all.

“…… Why should you give me such a precious thing? ”

Staring at the phantom of the key in my hand, I couldn't help but ask.

"Because, it's fun."

Gilgamesh crossed one leg with a playful smile on his face.

"Good...... Playful? ”

I was speechless.

It's easy to give something so important to someone else, and the reason is just fun......

Is the mental structure of the man in front of him really the same as that of ordinary people?

"Projection is originally formed with the help of the abstract virtual concept of the object itself. Do you think, isn't it the perfect match for a fake in the hands of someone who only uses a fake? ”

Gilgamesh shook his head and said.

"For the king, who has lost the key to the treasure house, it is impossible to use the treasure to do it again. However, if it were you, you would be able to maximize the original power of this king. ”

"- Tut, you are obviously so weak, but you have gained a powerful strength that you can't imagine in your life. What kind of decision you're going to make after that is a pleasure to think about. ”

"You want me to ...... Become your agent? ”

I thought about it for a moment, then asked.

"Cut, with your poor strength right now, you're still far from that goal. If I count on you, I might as well stay in that cave for another thousand years. ”

Gilgamesh spoke unrelentingly and strikingly.

"But...... At the very least, the honor of this king will be restored, and the trespassers will be eliminated. If you can't do this little thing, prepare to spend the rest of your life in self-doubt and denial. ”

"So you made it clear at the outset that you would allow me to use your Babylonian treasury for the time being, on the condition that you reclaim your seat on the throne of the Immortals?"

I held on to my forehead helplessly.

Why does this guy always like to say a lot of inexplicable things that can be explained in one or two sentences......

"Ahem, what do you know, this is called the dignity of the king."

Gilgamesh cleared his throat.

"The king's words must be mystical and unpredictable in order to meet the expectations of the people. It's like the oracle as you understand it in later generations, if it can be explained in one sentence, won't it lose its hazy and beautiful color? ”

"Who was saying before that there was no need to discuss the king?"

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I couldn't help but say.

"None of that matters now! The important thing is that you little devil must be trained by this king from now on, otherwise it will be a shame to have such a treasure as the treasure of Babylon and not be able to use it at all. ”

Gilgamesh suddenly stood up and stared at me sharply.

"Good...... Well, as long as King Gilgamesh you are satisfied. ”

I sighed, and in my heart I mourned for the fact that I couldn't stop it completely.
