Chapter 73—The King's Feast (2)

The night shrouded in the sky above the castle of Einzbelen, so that the white castle was covered with a layer of silver luster in the night, blending with the original white castle, adding a bit of mysterious beauty, this Gothic style of the old building in this modern society under the simple design, it seems more noble, the courtyard is inside, the fountain is built in the middle of the garden, in this season, it will not open the water column, and Istanbul chose to drink in this place, maybe they never thought about it, One day, he will sit with the king who is fighting for life and death, drinking and competing.

Rider smashed the lid of the barrel with his fist, and the mellow aroma of red wine suddenly filled the air in the atrium, but Nero frowned slightly, she was not bored with red wine, but it seemed that in a certain fragment of her memory, she preferred another kind of wine.

"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. It's a pity that no one on the spot can point out his common-sense mistake, it seems that in this day and age, you can buy a good glass from any store, of course, for this kind of detail, the people present will not care too much.

"Uh... By the way, I remember that you can always conjure up some food and utensils, ah, you have forgotten such an important thing, and you can sit with the three kings, well, you should behave well. Istanbul patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted at Liu Chenfei, the captain from the Apostolic Space, a strong man who can participate in the Holy Grail War. Everyone's team has been recognized. on their shoulders. There is a badge of different colors, the reason for living together, Istanbul has naturally seen Liu Chenfei take out many distinctive things from it.

"Uh... Sorry, I really forgot to bring such items, but if I want to talk about some food, I do have quite a few here. "Liu Chenfei is a person who doesn't like to drink, on the verge of struggling with life and death in the apostle space, who is still in the mood to drink happily? Not to mention keeping your brain awake at all times. Even if there is a little place, it is used to store necessities, and after speaking, Liu Chenfei took out a lot of cooked food from the space badge.

"Oooh! It's a bit of a pity, but it's nice to have this stuff, and you can try it too, and it tastes pretty good. Istanbul said, very unfiguratively picked up a pig's trotter and nibbled on his mouth, this kind of food is quite a delicious food for him. Artoria frowned at the sight of his rude appearance. But it was about the competition between kings, so I couldn't hold back the evil feeling in my heart and tasted it in small bites.

"Hey, what about you? Why don't you eat it? It's something you won't forget just by taking a bite. Istanbul looked at Nero a little absent-mindedly on the side, and reminded him that if he didn't serve more of this delicacy, it would seem a bit tyrannical to him.

"Hmph, this kind of thing, how can Yu swallow it." Nero raised his chin proudly, and took out some of the delicacies that Lin Xiu had specially prepared for her from the space table, and at the same time, he also took out the utensils he had designed, all of which were made of pure jade, and the appearance was very good-looking, this post-modern design concept could only be completed by her, these were all works of art that she and Lin Xiu studied when they were bored, and Lin Xiu gave her a space watch at the beginning, which was locked on her wrist, because she loved the food that Lin Xiu made. It was a lot of it that was specially stored for her in the space table, but Nero couldn't remember the origin of these things.

"Sichuan cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine..."Liu Chenfei rubbed his eyes and looked at the food that Nero kept serving out in disbelief, he was a little dumbfounded, the space watch was naturally given to Nero by the Clown King, there is no doubt about this, but there is so much food hidden in it, this is a bit incredible, could it be that the murderer is still a gourmet? Thinking of this, Liu Chenfei felt a little sick to his stomach, he didn't dare to guarantee that these meat were not made of human flesh, of course, such disgusting words, it was indeed a little inappropriate to say it on such an occasion.

Looking at the various dishes that Nero took out, not only Liu Chenfei, but even Artoria and Weber and Alice Phil, who were hiding not far away, were a little dumbfounded, which was a little too outrageous, but looking at the delicious food, Weber swallowed his saliva very angrily.

"Wait a minute, Rider, I already know your true identity, and the person sitting here at the banquet must be the identity of the king, so is she also a king?" Artoria said, glancing at the woman who was nine points similar to herself, although she had a kind of majesty and nobility in her gestures, but this did not mean that she was a king, and the problem of appearance troubles had been struggling in Artoria's heart.

"Hmph, if you had spoken such a word in Rome, your body would have been tied to the cross and burned." Nero snorted coldly, and in response she had forgotten something important, but her memories of Rome were still very clear, but there seemed to be a missing thread.

"Uh... She's right, if I want to talk about tyrants, I'm afraid I will be ashamed in front of this person. Rider scratched his head, I don't know whether this sentence should be evaluated in praise or sarcasm, in short, Nero's identity should be recognized.

"More brutal than the king of conquest... Could it be that she is..."Alice Field, after all, is erudite, and Webber is the most student of the Clock Tower, although he is only a third-rate magician, but he still has some knowledge of this kind of history, and the two of them thought of it together, looked at each other, and both saw shock and incredulity in each other's eyes.

After getting Rider's confirmation, the banquet can be considered to be the real beginning.

"I've heard that only those who are qualified can get the Holy Grail." Rider took Nero's utensils first, drank the wine in one gulp, and then spoke. The serious tone calmed the surrounding atmosphere. This man actually spoke in such a tone. I always felt that something was wrong.

And the ceremony of choosing the one who is qualified. It's the war that's going on in Fuyuki - but just by the sidelines. Then there is no need to shed blood. It's also a heroic spirit.,If you can recognize each other's abilities.,After that,,I don't need to say it.,This cup is really exquisite.,When you see beautiful things, you always want to take them for yourself.。 Rider was provocative, and after saying that, he looked at Artoria.

"......" Saber didn't hesitate to take the handle from Rider. Filling her glass with a red liquid, and then drinking it all, Saber's thin body always makes people worry about whether she can really drink. But looking at her boldness in drinking, she is not inferior to the giant Rider at all. Seeing this, Rider let out a pleasant compliment, and even Nero, who had been cold-eyed, showed a hint of appreciation.

"Hey, it's your turn." Rider turned the finger at Nero as Artoria watched her to see what she would do, for a woman who looked almost identical to herself. Artoria always couldn't let go of that nostalgia in her heart, especially after the other party's repeated provocations. also used the fight of the body to suppress himself, this kind of behavior really made Artoria feel hateful.

"Put away those low-concentration obscene products, the king should drink more strong alcohol, only in this way can the king's blood burn and burn." Nero didn't take the wine spoon handed by Rider at all, picked up a glass and took out a jar of strong white wine from the space watch again, the red wine cloth bowl couldn't stop the aroma of wine inside, that kind of taste, unlike red wine, came more violently and directly, as long as you inhale two sips vigorously, there is a fluttering feeling.

Nero removed the wine cloth and poured it into his cup with one hand, and even when he looked at it, Rider seemed to be able to relate to it, licking his lips, and a little eager to taste it.

"That's a good point, let me try it too." Rider said, took over the wine jar, Liu Chenfei covered his forehead with some pain, oh my God, he clearly saw that the wine jar still had the words daughter red written on it, if it wasn't a fake, this kind of historical product was either stolen from other game scenes, or exchanged in the apostle space, although it didn't cost a few points, but for the habits of the clown king, he felt that he couldn't catch the edge at all.

"Hiccup... Good wine, good wine, that's right, it's true that this is the kind of liquor that kings should drink, I suddenly felt a little blood boiling, and my body was full of desire to conquer at this moment. Rider is not stingy in his praise, for all good things, he wants to snatch into his own hands, this is the meaning of conquest, therefore, he will naturally not be stingy with his praise words.

After Rider's praise, Artoria also took the contents of the cup refreshingly, the fierce aroma of wine came to her nose, making her frown slightly, but King Arthur, who led the Knights of the Round Table to fight in all directions, would not refuse this kind of thing at every celebration banquet, so it was not that it could not be swallowed, but it felt that this wine was really strong enough.

"So, first of all, are you going to compete with me to see who is stronger? Rider。 Or are you going to challenge her first? Artoria said, meaningfully gesturing to Nero on the side with her eyes, but at this time Nero had already been served three glasses in a row, judging from her complexion, she was still a little unsatisfied, this kind of wine... Even Liu Chenfei, who was on the side, was inevitably a little staggered.

"Exactly, there is a real contest in the name of the 'king', but in this case, it is better not to call it the 'Holy Grail War', but the 'Holy Grail Q&A'...... In the end, between the three of us, who will become the 'King of the Holy Grail'? It's a fitting question to ask a wine glass. Rider changed his serious tone and smiled mischievously. Then he spoke as if to himself.

"Ah, speaking of which, there is another person here who claims to be the 'king', and if you add that clown king, it should be counted as five." Istanbul spoke, holding out five thick fingers in a somewhat alcoholic tone, waving them in front of Artoria and Nero.

"—the joke ends here, mongrel." As if in response to Rider's unclear words. A dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone, and the sound and light caused Saber and Alice Phil's bodies to stiffen instantly, and Nero looked up at Gilgamesh in front of him. After that, I don't bother with it. It seems that I am thinking about something, and I am a little distracted.

“Archer。 Why are you here...... Saber asked, and it was Rider who answered her.

"Ah, when I saw him on the street, I asked him to drink—but he was late, Glitter. But unlike me, he walks on foot, so I can't blame him. Saying this, Istanbul raised his chin triumphantly, quite smug, completely indifferent to Gilgamesh's somewhat angry tone.

Archer, dressed in armor, stared proudly at Rider with ruby eyes. "It's a shame that you chose such a place for a banquet. That's all you need to taste. Why do you apologize for why I came here on purpose? "It's still the kind of arrogant tone that reigns over the world, it's still the kind of contempt that looks at the world, and nothing has changed.

"Don't say that, come, have a drink first, hey, beauty, give this one a special wine glass." Rider smiled and handed the spoon full of wine to Archer, not forgetting to speak to Nero beside him.

It was thought that Gilgamesh would be enraged by Rider's attitude. But unexpectedly, he simply took the spoon and drank all the wine inside.

Alice Phil remembered what Saber had called "the challenge" earlier. Then it would be impossible for him to refuse the wine that Rider handed over.

Archer。 Since this golden heroic spirit who originally did not know his true body called himself "king", he had been told in advance by the Thousand Faces at this moment that he was the oldest hero king - Gilgamesh, and he was the biggest rival of Emiya Kiritsugu except for the Clown King, but he had learned the news yesterday that Tosaka Toshitomi had been killed, but for what, he hadn't disappeared yet? Did they survive in some special way? This is not good news, especially now that the situation of Emiya Kiritsugu is still unclear, from now on, it seems that the strength should be intact Rider's lineup, and they must find their breakthrough, as soon as she thought of this, Alice Phil cheered up and listened attentively to the conversation between them.

"Phew,—— what kind of bad wine is this, and you actually use this wine to fight between heroes?" Archer said with a look of disgust, obviously he was still a little uncomfortable with this strong drink, but his usual arrogance gave him all kinds of reasons to be his own.

"Pay attention to your tone, if you don't want to feast on your blood." Nero said without raising his eyes, for the person who insulted her anything, in her psychology has been sentenced to death, she will not care who the other party is, or what kind of king, the scale of the rebel, the sky can also kill.

"Bastard, it's you who should be paying attention to your tone, but... For the sake of this honor, forgive you for the time being, this tone is really qualified to be a queen, hahaha. Gilgamesh said the back, and the already arrogant Da Lang laughed, and at the same time, a vortex of void space appeared around the sneering Archer. 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 Archer was surrounded not by Equipment, but by a series of drinking utensils encrusted with dazzling gemstones. The heavy gold bottle was filled with a colorless, clear liquid.

Seeing the spatial vortex of Gilgamesh, only Liu Chenfei squinted slightly to appreciate everything in front of him, and occasionally looked at Alice Phil not far away, her body was faintly transparent, and the Holy Grail could flash out at any time, and his purpose was not just to win the Holy Grail, but...

Thinking of these in his heart, Liu Chenfei's eyes peeked at Artoria, who was ready to attack at any time, that heroic face attracted his attention all the time, and there was another Nero who poured himself a drink with another kingly temperament, and when he thought that he could return to the apostolic space with the two beauties after this battle, he felt his blood surge.

It's just that now you have to calm down, now that Gilgamesh has appeared here, then the rest of Yan Feng Qili and the other apostle traveler, I believe that they are not far away, and they have reached such a moment, and it is pointless to continue to shrink up. Every traveler knows this very well.

"Look, this is the 'King's Wine.'" Gilgamesh said with his usual smugness.

"Oh, that's so impressive." Istanbul is the only one happy to see something new coming up.

Rider didn't mind Archer's tone and happily poured the new wine into three glasses.

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.

"Oh, delicious!!"

Rider took a sip and immediately widened his eyes in praise. Unlike the strong ingredients that Nero brought out, the wine that Gilgamesh took out had a more delicate fragrance.

Even Saber was piqued with curiosity. Originally, this was not a competition to see who was more decent, but a competition with wine.

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, the strong fragrance fills the nasal cavities, and the whole person has a sense of drift, of course, she does not deny that Nero took out the wine taste, but the wine is too strong, she is still pouring herself at the moment, and she does not pay much attention to the things around her, and the woman who can drink such strong wine should also be a fierce opponent, but any enemy who prevents herself from winning the Holy Grail will die under her own sword, without exception, For that ideal in my heart.

Looking at Liu Chenfei, who was also looking at her, Artoria became more determined in her inner thoughts. (To be continued......)
