Chapter 288: Wayward Servants
As the black space-time rift slowly closed, the six servants walked out together.
And there were only two royal masters, Lu Xiu and Weber, and Kiritsu didn't want to expose himself to the front of all the royal masters.
"Aren't you afraid of what I'm going to do?" Lu Xiu looked at the other Heroic Spirits with some surprise.
"My Lord is not here." Skaha clutched his abdomen and kept drawing rune words in the air as a way to heal his injuries.
"Don't talk nonsense, since you invited us for a drink, what about your hospitality? Don't tell me, you're not prepared! Gilgamesh looked around, his brow furrowed slightly.
Everyone was actually in the backyard of Lu Xiu's latest residence at this time.
On the green grass, dandelions fluttered in the wind, which was very beautiful.
But in Gilgamesh's eyes, it looks very simple.
"I'm sorry... I really wasn't prepared yet. Lu Xiu smiled a little bitterly, he didn't expect the heroic spirits to agree, he thought that there were only a few heroic spirits, since they agreed, they should all be easy to speak, it really can't make them some tea to entertain.
"Hmph, it's really a fool." In fact, Gilgamesh didn't care about Lu Xiu's hospitality at all, saying that all the best things in the world were lying in his treasure house, and what Lu Xiu took out could be compared to what was in his treasure house?
"In that case... Then I'll invite you to drink it. "The King of Heroes has never been stingy in showing off his wealth.
The cup made of gold contained a clear liquid, and a strong aroma of wine spread the moment the glass appeared, making people shrug the tip of their nose and smell it a few more times.
"Good wine!" The King of Conquering couldn't help but light up in his eyes, judging from his appearance, he was also a man who coveted things in the cup.
Lu Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Dante, who had changed back to his original state.
"You shouldn't be able to hear your master's voice here, and the power of the spell is cut off here, so... You can speak freely, but I only have one request, and the use of force is prohibited here. β
"Such a beautiful place... No one can bear to destroy it. Skaha looked around understandingly.
"Oh? Is this place beautiful in your eyes? "What Jin Shanshan said was always a feeling of superiority.
"Presumably, in your eyes, only those things that are shiny are beautiful, right? Glitter? Skaha sneered back.
"Well, sure enough, out of nowhere came out of nowhere to call himself a king, gold, that's the color of the emperor. Symbolizes the sublime, the noble, the supremacy! Kim sparkled and glanced at Skaha with disdain.
"Hmph, just that nouveau riche gold? Purple is the supreme being, isn't it? Beichen Purple Palace, well-dressed. Han and Jiande, often blessed by heaven. This is a saying that circulated in ancient China, purple, where it represents the saint! Imperial Spirit! The two men immediately began a heated debate about the color.
The other kings drank the contents of the cup alone, and they felt like they were drinking alcohol.
Indeed, in the choice of color, they all seem to be inferior.
The red of the King of Conquest, the black of the Knight King, and the white of Caster.
"A small star dares to compete with the scorching sun?" Gilgamesh said dismissively.
"In a sense, the scorching sun is also a star." Dante suddenly spoke up and choked Gilgamesh.
"Damn, when will it be your turn to speak as a bastard like you who isn't even a king?" Gilgamesh yelled in annoyance.
"Well... If you want to be a king... My brother who didn't make it was supposed to come to this kind of banquet, I'm used to it... But..."Dante seems to have accepted Gilgamesh's mouthfuls and is not angry, "Actually, the king is not the king... Isn't it the strongest person in a sense? β
All the kings were stunned, this understanding of the king is really new.
"No, the king still needs to carry the expectations of his people! Bring them to the good! The Knight King, who had been silent, suddenly retorted.
"Oh? Knight King, do you carry such a heavy burden on your back? Iskandar glanced at Artoria with some surprise.
"Aren't you going to carry it?" Artoria looked at Iskandar indifferently.
"What if you keep taking responsibility on yourself? The people also need to walk, not that you keep walking on their backs, you have always regarded the 'right' as your master, the right leadership, the right rule, the country you led has developed brilliantly in your ruling career, and it has been very strong for a while, but when you die, the empire that never sets will also decline, haven't you always reflected on yourself? β
"That's why I want to get my hands on the Holy Grail even more! Go back in time! Save my people! Artoria said loudly.
Hearing this, in addition to Dante and Skaha, even Caster, who had been silent, laughed.
"You... What to laugh at? Artoria frowned and asked in a condensed voice.
"It's naΓ―ve to laugh at your thoughts." Caster also seemed tired of wearing the black hat he had been wearing, and slowly removed the hat, revealing an extremely pale face and extremely pale hair.
Yes, another gray hair.
"What kind of king are you?" Gilgamesh asked with interest, and after a round of Artoria's speeches, he suddenly became interested in the other kings.
"The Lich King." Caster whispered, and a strange wind swept through everyone's bodies, causing everyone to shudder.
"Don't care about my name, the person here now is just a guilty person." The Lich King smiled bitterly, picked up his glass, and drank the contents of the glass, "Deny your past self? What a ridiculous thing. β
βCasterοΌ Look at the way you look! You also feel sad about the demise of your country, don't you! Artoria yelled.
"yes... Tell a story. The Lich King didn't care about telling his past slowly.
"There was once a kingdom when the prince saw his kingdom in danger, but he was lost in temptation by the seven virtues of knighthood, and in order to save his country, the prince pulled out the evil weapon, and the kingdom was saved, and then destroyed by it. His father was killed by his own hands. The Lich King said calmly, as if it were really a story, "That prince is me, I destroyed my own country with my own hands, and I used that evil weapon to make all the warriors die without peace, even if they die, they will serve me." β
"Oh roar, you're so evil." Gilgamesh said with some surprise.
"I don't care what you think of me, I just want to tell you, Knight King, if I were to go back in time, I would still draw that sword." The Lich King looked at Artoria seriously, "What can I do if I turn into evil, in order to save the country, I am duty-bound." β
"But you still destroyed the country in the end!"
"After destruction comes new life, I turn them into necromancy, and I am still their king."
"What is the difference between you and a tyrant! You say that you are wearing sin, but you still feel the repentance of your sin in your heart! β
"I am repenting, but not regretting, I will always look forward and atone for my sins."
"Tyrant! How can you be worthy of your country! Those people! βγ
"The so-called king is a figure who lives a wonderful life more than anyone else and makes everyone fall for it! Gather the admiration of thousands of warriors, like a road sign to stand tall, can be the king! Iskandar then said, "But... Caster, I don't agree with you either. β
"Whether you like it or not, we are both kings, and it is very rare and common for each of us to disagree, I have drunk today, and I am still an enemy in other days."
