The few who left didn't know what the stall owner was thinking, otherwise Gilgamesh's bad personality might come back and kill the disrespectful guy who didn't leave him behind.

The golden crow gradually descended, and night fell again. The barrier of Einzberen Castle was suddenly torn apart, and the intense feeling of dizziness caused Alice Phil to nearly fall.

"What's going on...... Alice Fair?" Saber's strong arms wrapped around Alice Phil's shoulders.

"The barrier outside the forest has been destroyed..."Alice Phil said in surprise, the barrier was not something so easy to destroy, but the spell was destroyed.

"A head-on breakout? Are you okay? Alice Fair? ”

"Well, just a surprise. I didn't expect such a mess of guests to visit. ”

"And this unscrupulous tactic...... The other party should be Rider. However, I didn't expect Rider's wheels to be destroyed, and he could launch such a powerful attack. I'll go out and greet you, and you stay with me. ”

Alice Fell nodded. Staying with Saber, who was on her way to meet her, meant that she had to face the enemy herself. But the battlefield is the safest place for Alice Phil, because the strongest Servant is right next to her.

"Hey, Knight King! I'm here to meet you, come out, huh?" The voice of the King of Conquest came from the hall, and it seemed that the other party had stepped through the main entrance. There is no doubt that the enemy is Iskandar, the king of conquest, but his tone does not sound like a warrior about to fight.

But Saber didn't dare to slack off, and she materialized the silver armor as she ran. Alice Phil and Saber finally made their way down the hallway to the terrace...... However, when the two of them saw the enemy Servant standing in the hall through the moonlight from the skylight, they immediately did not know what to say.

"Yo, Saber. When I heard about the castle, I wanted to come and see it. Rider grinned unashamedly and bared his teeth, and then he moved his neck in a deliberate manner.

"There are too many trees in the yard, it's too inconvenient to get in and out, and I almost got lost before I got to the city gate, so I cut some for you, thank me." The view has become much better. ”

“Rider。 You ......," Saber snapped, but she didn't know what to say in the face of an inexplicable enemy. Rider said with a surprised frown.

"Hey Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit tonight? Don't wear that stiff armor all the time. ”

If Saber's appearance in armor is said to be rigid, then what should Rider's jeans and T-shirt be commented on?

Webb half-hid on Ride. Behind his huge body looked up at Alice Phil, looking at his expression whether he was hostile or frightened. Needless to say, his face clearly said that he wanted to go home and hurry up.

What made them even more strange was that Rider wasn't holding a weapon or anything else to use in combat—it was a barrel.

No matter how you look at it, it's a wooden wine bottle. Rider, who easily clipped the sake bottle under his arm, is like a sake brewery owner who has come to make a delivery.

"You ......" Saber took a deep breath and said calmly, "Rider, what are you doing here?"

"Still don't understand? I've come to you for a drink - hey, don't be there, lead the way, is there a courtyard suitable for a banquet? It's all gray inside this castle, no. ”

“……”

Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger that had been stored in his chest was gone. Looking at this seemingly innocent opponent, she couldn't maintain her fighting spirit.

"Alice Phil, what should I do?"

Alice Phil was similarly confused. She was angry at the destruction of the forest's barrier, but after seeing that grinning face, she couldn't hate it anymore anyway.

"He's not the kind of person who sets traps, does he really want to drink?"

"Could it be that the man wants to adopt a soft policy towards Saber?"

"No, it's a challenge."

Saber, who should have lost his will to fight, became serious for some reason at the moment.

"Challenge?"

"Yes...... I am a king, and he is also a king. If you want to divide the wine table into high and low, it is equivalent to a bloodless battle. ”

As if hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquest smiled and nodded.

"Hehe, it's good to understand. Since you can't fight each other with swords, let's use wine to fight it out. Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, get ready. ”

"Interesting. I accept. ”

Saber resolutely responded, exuding a fighting spirit as if he were on the battlefield. Only now does Alice Phil realize that this is not a joke, but a real fight.

- Divide - Divide - Divide - Divide - Divide -

The banquet was held by the flower bed in the atrium of the castle. Rider led the decanter to the atrium, and the two Servants sat down face-to-face and confronted each other. Alice Fell and Webber sat side by side, guessing at the development of the situation, realizing that it meant a temporary truce, and that he would just have to watch from the sidelines.

Rider smashed the lid of the barrel with his fist, and the mellow aroma of red wine filled the air in the atrium.

"Although the shape is strange, it is a drinking vessel unique to this country." Rider said as he triumphantly slapped the wine with a bamboo handle.

"You're wrong about Rider, it's just a drinker." Gong Xiaoyun's figure suddenly appeared, telling the conqueror king about this common-sense mistake.

"Don't worry about the details, Avenger." Rider took a sip of the wine from the spoon and said nonchalantly.

"I'm stupid to be honest with you..."Gong Xiaoyun said with black lines on his head.

"Avenger, why are you here...... Saber snapped, and it was Rider who answered her.

"Ah, when I saw him on the street, I asked him to drink together—but he was still late, and the golden light, who called himself king, would come over later. Let's have a drink first, Anverger. Rider said as he handed the spoon full of wine to Gong Xiaoyun.

"Heh..."Gong Xiaoyun cried and laughed helplessly, he had never drunk before, but since Rider had handed it over, he still had to give this face.

Gong Xiaoyun learned the Achilles in his memory and drank the wine in the spoon arrogantly, "Ahem... Cough..."Sure enough, it's not as simple as imagined, Gong Xiaoyun said helplessly with a flush on his face.

"Anverger, you haven't been drinking?" Rider asked, a little surprised.

Gong Xiaoyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is not good, wine is a symbol of heroes, how can heroes not drink?" Rider laughed.

"Let's stop here, bastard." As if in response to Rider's words, a dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone.

Archer, who was dressed in armor, looked at Rider proudly with ruby eyes, "It's a shame that you chose such a shabby place to hold a banquet, so that's all you can taste." Why do you apologize for why I came here on purpose? And—" Gilgamesh glanced at Gong Xiaoyun, who was sitting cross-legged, "What's going on with this bastard?" ”

"Don't say that, Avenger, I admire it, since everyone has met on the street, of course I have to invite, don't talk about this, let's have a drink first." Rider smiled and handed the spoon full of wine to Archer.

Alice Phil thought that Archer would be angered by Rider's attitude, but instead he simply took the spoon and drank the wine inside.

Alice Phil thought of the challenge Saber had just mentioned. Archer, the unknown Golden Heroic Spirit, who claims to be king, is unlikely to refuse the wine that Rider has handed him.

"—What kind of bad wine is this, and you actually use this wine to fight between heroes?" Archer said with a look of disgust.

"Really? I bought it from the market here, and it's a good wine. ”

"Think that way because you don't know anything about wine, mongrel." A vortex of imaginary space appeared around Archer, who scoffed. It was a precursor to the strange phenomenon that could summon the Noble Phantasm, and Webber and Alice Fell felt nothing but chills in their bodies.

But tonight, instead of equipment, Archer was surrounded by a series of drinking utensils encrusted with dazzling gemstones. The heavy gold bottle was filled with a colorless, clear liquid.

"Look, this is the king's wine."

"Oh, that's so impressive." Rider didn't mind Archer's tone and happily poured the new wine into his glass.

Saber was still quite wary of the unknown Archer, and she looked at the wine in the golden bottle with some hesitation, but took the glass that was handed her.

"Take it, bastard, this is the king's gift..."Gong Xiaoyun looked at Gilgamesh with some surprise as he handed over a glass full of divine wine, he really didn't expect Gilgamesh to give him a glass of wine.

"Thank you very much, Archer." Gong Xiaoyun unceremoniously took it and drank it all.

"Hmph." Although he is very unhappy with Gong Xiaoyun's attitude, he still has this bit of strength as a king.

"Oh, delicious!!" Rider took a sip and immediately widened his eyes in praise.

Even Saber was piqued with curiosity. As the wine flowed into her throat, Saber felt a strong swelling sensation in her head. This is indeed a good wine she has never tasted, strong and pure, mellow and refreshing, with a strong fragrance filling the nasal cavity, and the whole person has a sense of drift.

"Great, this is definitely not a human wine, it is a god who drank it."

Looking at Rider who did not hesitate to praise him, Archer smiled leisurely. At some point, he sat down and shook the glass in his hand contentedly. "Of course, whether it's wine or sword, I have only the best in my treasure trove—that's the king's taste."
