Chapter 27: The King's Banquet (2)

Previous Chapter

"No kidding, Archer." Saber roared, and the calm began to be shattered by the tension, "I'm annoyed to hear you boast about the wine, you don't look like a king, but like a clown." ”

Gilgamesh sneered at Saber, who smelled of gunpowder, "It's ridiculous, a guy who doesn't even know how to drink is not worthy of being a king." ”

"Alright, you two are boring." Rider smiled wryly at Saber, who wanted to say something, and then said to himself, "I've heard that only those who are qualified can get the Holy Grail. His serious tone calmed the surrounding atmosphere.

"And the ritual of selecting the person who is qualified is this war that is being fought in Fuyuki - but if you just watch from the sidelines, then there is no need to shed blood. If we can recognize each other's abilities, then I don't need to talk about it. ”

"So, first of all, are you going to compete with me to see who is stronger? Rider。 ”Saber

"Exactly, there is a real contest in the name of the king, but in this case, it is not called the Holy Grail War, it is better to call it the Holy Grail Q&A...... In the end, who among the knight kings and conquering kings will be the king of the Holy Grail? ”

The King of Conquest paused for a moment and continued, "Archer, the best of your wine can only be matched by the cup of the most precious wine—but alas, the Holy Grail is not for wine. Now we're going to have a Grail Q&A to see if each other qualifies for the Holy Grail, and first you have to tell us why you want the Holy Grail. Archer, find a way to convince us that you are worthy of the Holy Grail, Archer. ”?”

"I can't stand you." Gilgamesh glanced at the King of Conquest and said haughtily, "First of all, we are fighting for the Holy Grail, and your question is far from that premise. ”

"Huh?" Rider raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Gilgamesh sighed helplessly, "That 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 mean, you ever had the Holy Grail? Do you know what it is?"

"Nope." Gilgamesh lightly 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. ”

Saber was speechless, "It seems that you are insane, will the Holy Grail also choose the crazy servant?" ”

"Hey, what do you say?" Unlike Saber, Rider muttered as if in response. At some point, he picked up the bottle and poured it into the glass without mind.

"Speaking of which, I think I still know your real name. There should be only one man who is more proud than Iskander. ”

Alice Fell and Webb listened intently.

But Rider changed the subject, "So Archer, so if 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 only reward my subjects and people."

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

“…… Ah, that can't be done. Rider scratched his chin, as if sensing that the other party's conditions were too high, and turned his head.

"But Archer, it doesn't matter if you have a Holy Grail or not, 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. ”

Rider drained the glass of wine, "Is there any reason for this?"

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

"Hmm." Rider seemed to understand his words and sighed deeply.

"What a perfect king, able to carry out the laws 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."

Gilgamesh nodded at the same time as Rider with a serious expression. (Consensus .jpg)

"But Archer, let's have a drink anyway, and let's talk about the battle later."

"Unless, of course, you don't like the wine I brought with you at all."

"What are you kidding, how can I be reluctant not to drink the wine."

"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?"

"—huh? Of course, my belief is to conquer ...... 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 his wine and replied, "I want to be human." ”

It was such an unexpected answer, and even Webb sighed and shouted in an almost crazy tone, "Oh, you! Do you still want to conquer the world—wow!"

After forcing the Master to quiet down with a snap of his fingers, Rider shrugged, "Stupid, how can you conquer the world in this life?" Conquest is your own dream, and you can only entrust this first step to the Holy Grail to achieve it. ”

"Hybrid...... Why do you challenge me for such a frivolous thing?" Gilgamesh said helplessly.

But Rider said with a serious face, "I said, even if we appear in the present world with magical powers, we are only Servants in the end, and although it feels a little ridiculous that we didn't exist in this world, are you really satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied. 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?" Webb asked, confused.

"Because that's the basis of conquest." Iskandar muttered as he stared at his clenched fists.

"Have a body, march to heaven and earth, and carry out my conquest—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. ”

Gilgamesh listened intently to Rider's words, and only drank in silence the whole time.

But after Gong Xiaoyun took a closer look, he found that at this time he showed a strange expression that was different from the past, it may be a bit far-fetched to describe it with a smile, but compared with his usual mocking expression before, the smile at this time contained a layer of ruthlessness.

"It's decided—Rider, I'll kill you with my own hands."

"Hehe, I'm still saying that. You should also come to your senses as soon as possible, not only the Holy Grail, but I also plan to loot your treasure trove. You are so careless that the King of Conquest drank such good wine. Rider laughed wildly.

"Hey, I said Saber, you should tell me your wishes after listening to it for so long." Rider set his sights on Saber.

"I want to save my hometown! I want to change the fate of Britain's demise! Saber said firmly.

"Actually drinking together......" Tosaka Shichen sighed helplessly.

"Is it really okay to leave Archer alone?" The Demon Dao communication machine brought Yan Feng Qili's slightly stiff tone.

Shi Chen smiled bitterly and said, "No way, since it is a meeting of the kings, how can he ignore those questions against him?"

"But fortunately, as long as they haven't figured out the true strength of the hero king Gilgamesh, then it's fine. Luckily, tonight they were fighting at the wine table. As long as he didn't draw his sword and go to war, Archer wouldn't easily reveal the king's treasure. ”

"That's right, Qili. Rider, Archer, Avenger's power gap... What do you think?"

"I don't think Avenger should be afraid, although he may have hidden trump cards, but his master is just an ordinary person, and the last battle showed that the supply of mana is completely insufficient."

"As for Rider, the point is whether he has a trump card that is more powerful than the destroyed Shenwei Wheel."

"Hmmm......"

Herein lies the problem. Compared to the other four Servants, only Rider and the yet-to-be-appeared Lancer (newly summoned) were the most unsettling to Tosaka.

The Master who dominates Berserker has exhausted his strength, and Avenger faces a threat from all sides. These two groups of people are waiting for them to fend for themselves.

Gilgamesh won't lose to the Saber group, who have already lost two spells, which means that only the Rider and Lancer groups are the real enemies.

“…… Now, I feel compelled to try that. ”

"I see. I understand. "Needless to say, Qili on the other side of the telegraph has already understood Shi Chen's intentions.

"But if you want all the Assassins to assemble, I'm afraid it will take about ten minutes."

"Very well, give the order. Although it was a big gamble, luckily we had nothing to lose even if we failed. ”

For Shi Chen, Assassin is just one of the means used to capture the Holy Grail, and it is a tool that can be thrown away when it is used. This understanding is also fully reflected in his disciple Yan Feng Qili.

After Tosaka finished speaking, Tosaka changed his sitting position, and at the same time poured another cup of tea into the cup. He elegantly sniffed the scent of black tea and waited for the result of the action.
