The banquet was held by the flower bed in the atrium of the castle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once a god? The arrival of the Tree Realm, the terrifying aftermath of a trial battle of the gamers, was stunned that it did not affect here, which is really lucky, and it does not look shabby to entertain guests here. As for the cold, oh, who cares.

Rider Iskandar won't care, Saber Artoria won't care, and the hero King Gilgamesh who came to visit naturally won't care.

The banquet of kings is naturally indispensable for wine, and as for the problem of food, well, just ignore him. With the best King's Liquor from Archer Gilgamesh, do you need anything else?!

Well, probably needed, at least for the foodie Saber Artoria, food is always indispensable, but, for the sake of the identity of the king, Saber Artoria is still reluctant to sit upright. Waiting for this feast of kings. The beginning of this king's feast.

As for the reason why Archer Gilgamesh came here, the reason for the banquet, neither Emiya Kiritsugu, nor Weber, nor Alice Fell cared.

After all, no matter what, Archer, Saber, and Rider are already existing sane heroic spirits, and it is understandable that they will hold each other in the face of those monster-like gamers.

Even, even if they fight each other, it is not unacceptable to quickly decide the ownership of the Holy Grail.

"Archer, what are you doing here. It's really just a banquet, I don't think you are as arrogant as you, and you would come for such a simple reason, well, good wine, super good wine. Rider Iskandar, who had cleaned up the wine offered by archer Gilgamesh, looked at the arrogant archer Gilgamesh and spoke.

Listening to Rider Iskandar's words, Archer Gilgamesh pursed his lips disdainfully, and said with a proud face: "The reason for the banquet, what reason is needed, if you have to have a reason, then, even if it is your farewell banquet." It's rare to come down for a while, but I encounter this kind of mess. Cut~"

Listening to Archer Gilgamesh's words, Rider Iskandar shrugged his shoulders and unceremoniously poured himself another glass of king's wine, and after drinking it, he said with a look of intoxication: "Indeed, it is very bad, quite bad, but even so, it is too big for you to send the two of us away." Either way, I am the King of Conquest, and she is also the famous Knight King Arthur. ”

"Hehe, the hero who is truly the king, I am the only one between heaven and earth. The rest are just some mongrels. Archer Gilgamesh simply uttered a declaration that was more insulting than an insult.

Listening to these crazy words, Saber Artoria, who had been staring at this archer sternly and vigilantly, was also surprised that the ground was colorless.

But Rider Iskandar was tolerant of it, a little surprised and sighed, and said, "Such a proud king, plus so many treasures before, I can probably guess who you are." ”

Then, Rider Iskandar smiled boldly and continued: "However, let's put these aside for the time being, after all, now we kings can be oppressed by those monsters, tsk, monsters of that strength, even I feel quite struggling, in the Throne of the Immortal, when there was such a terrifying existence, why don't I know." ”

"Cowardly, cowardly as a king, although I was originally here to crusade against you, I don't mind sending you back to the Throne of the Immortal first." The armor-clad Archer Gilgamesh looked proudly at Rider Iskandar with ruby eyes. Said coldly.

"Cowardly? How could that kind of thing be, I came, I witnessed, I conquered. Oh, delicious! It's great, it's definitely not a human wine, it's a god drink!" Rider Iskandar took another sip, immediately widened his eyes and praised a few words, and continued: "However, no matter how heroic you are, no matter how brave you are, there is a gap in strength. It's not like a few words can erase the difference between that day and the other. It is precisely because of this that there is a covenant. ”

Listening to Rider Iskander's words, even Saber Artoria was aroused by curiosity. Saber Artoria, who had no interest in the wine provided by Archer Gilgamesh, couldn't help but kill the wine in front of her.

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.

Looking at Rider Iskandar, who did not hesitate to praise him, Archer Gilgamesh smiled leisurely. Shaking the wine glass in his hand with satisfaction, he said, "Of course, whether it is wine or sword, I have only the best things in my treasure trove - this is the king's taste." As for the covenant, hehe, the king of the group, is that still a king? A king who needs the support of others, is that a king? ”

The king must be unique, the king must be proud, the king must be unparalleled in the world, there is no way to do it, what kind of king is it, the king of the group, is it also a king?

"What a kid, Archer." Saber Artoria roared, "I'm annoyed to hear you boast about your wine, you don't look like a king, but like a clown." ”

Archer Gilgamesh sneered at Saber Artoria, who was full of gunpowder, and said, "No, not only is he holding a group, but he doesn't even know how to drink, such a guy is not worthy of being a king." ”

"Alright, you two are boring." Rider Iskandar smiled bitterly and gestured to Saber Artoria, who still wanted to say something, then turned his head and continued the previous topic and said: "Archer, the best of your wine can indeed only match the cup of the treasure - but unfortunately, even so, it can't change the gap in strength between us and them, if the real body comes, maybe I still have a certain degree of certainty, now ......"

"Moreover, the chalice is not for wine. Archer, if you are the One, then why do you, who have everything, pursue the Holy Grail, for eternal life, or for ...... Archer, answer this question as a king. ”

"After all, you're here to kill us, let me figure it out before the battle, this should be the etiquette of a king."

"I can't stand you. First of all, we are going to 'fight' for the Holy Grail, and your question is far from that premise. Listening to Rider Iskander's words, Archer Gilgamesh took a sip of the wine in the glass and said.

"Huh?" Listening to Archer Gilgamesh's words, Rider Iskandar looked at Archer Gilgamesh with some puzzlement.

Seeing Rider raise his eyebrows in surprise, Archer sighed helplessly and said, "It should have been my belonging." 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." Archer faintly 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. ”

Now it was Saber's turn to be speechless.

In Saber Artoria's opinion, this is completely crazy, could it be that in this Holy Grail War, not only Berserker is not the only one who is not sensible, but even Archer is crazy. That's not a good thing.

"Hey, what do you say. Sure enough, you are the king, the king who is more proud than my Iskander, and there should be only one person. Unlike Saber Artoria, Rider Iskandar muttered as if in response.

Hearing Rider Iskandar say this, Alice Phil, Webber, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately listened attentively, after all, archer's information is still quite important to them without a gamer by their side, but Rider Iskandar changed the subject. "So Archer, that means that as long as you nod and agree, then we can get the Holy Grail?"

Archer Gilgamesh said as a matter of course, "Of course, but I have no reason to reward rats like you. ”

Looking at Archer Gilgamesh, Rider Iskandar grinned and said, "Can't you be reluctant?"

"Of course not, I only reward my subjects and people." Archer Gilgamesh smiled mockingly at Rider Iskandar, "Or Rider, if you're willing to surrender to me, then I'll give you a cup or two." ”

“…… Ah, that can't be done. Rider Iskandar scratched his chin, as if he felt that the other party's conditions were too high, so he simply turned his head and said, "But Archer, it doesn't matter if you have the 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. Gilgamesh, with his hands on his chest, said indifferently.

"That is—" Rider Iskandar asked, draining his glass of wine, "what does that mean?" Is there any reason for this?"

"It's the law." Faced with Rider Iskander's question, Archer Gilgamesh immediately replied, "The laws that I have made as king. ”

"Hmm." Rider Iskandar seemed to understand his words, sighed deeply, and said, "What a perfect king, able to carry out the laws he has set. However, in this Holy Grail War, it seems to be a little more difficult to implement this law in front of them, and besides, I still want the Holy Grail very much, and my approach is to grab it if I want it, because Iskander is 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. This is true no matter who it is, no matter who it is facing. ”

"Then we'll only see you on the battlefield."

Archer Gilgamesh nodded at the same time as Rider Iskandar with a serious expression.

"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."

At this moment, Archer Gilgamesh and Rider Iskandar had made Saber Artoria unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and she had to sit silently and watch the two of them. After a few moments, she finally spoke to Rider Iskandar and asked, "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?"

Listening to Saber Artoria's question, Rider Iskandar said with a look of course: "Huh? Of course, my belief is 'conquest'...... That is, 'seizure' and 'invasion'. ”

Saber Artoria suppressed the anger in her 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 wine and replied, "I want to be human." After all, to achieve the dream of conquest, you need a real body, and you can only entrust this first step to the Holy Grail to make it happen. ”

"Hybrid...... Why do you challenge me for such a frivolous thing?" Listening to the dream of rider Iskander, even Archer Gilgamesh was helpless.

But at this moment, Rider Iskandar said with a serious face: "I said, even if we appear in the present world with magical power, but in the end, we are only Servant, and we did not exist in this world, although it feels a little ridiculous, but are you really satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied. I want to be reborn in this world and live as a human being. ”

"Because that's the basis of 'conquest.'" Iskandar looked at his clenched fists and muttered, "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. ”

Archer Gilgamesh seemed to be listening to Rider Iskander's words, and drank silently the whole time. After careful observation, it can be found that he showed a strange expression at this time, which may be a bit far-fetched to describe it as a smile, but compared with his usual laughing expression before, the smile at this time contains a layer of cruelty.

"It's decided—Rider, I'll kill you with my own hands. Just after this feast. I will give you death. ”

"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. Although it may seem a little difficult to capture the Holy Grail in front of those monstrous beings, it is a must. It's a must for the conquest to begin! ”

As he spoke, Rider Iskandar burst out laughing wildly.

But at this time, there was another person, although he participated in the banquet, he still did not show a smile. Saber Artoria, who attended the banquet, never found room to interject during Archer's conversation between Gilgamesh and Rider Iskander. The way of kingship that these two men talked about was so far from what she believed in that she couldn't talk to them at all.

Just follow your own will-

This is not what the king should think. Saber Artoria, who believes in incorruptibility, sees Archer and Rider as nothing more than tyrants.

No matter how strong the other party is, Saber is burning with unyielding fighting spirit in his heart.

Only these two are opponents who can't lose. The Holy Grail must not be given to them. Even if he has already formed an alliance with Rider, Archer's words don't make sense at all, and Rider's wish can only be seen as the wish of a warrior. And that was only the beginning of all human desires. Compared to their desires, Saber Artoria's wishes could not but be said to be nobler than theirs.

"Hey, I said Saber, it's a rare opportunity, and you can tell me about your wishes. After all, you are also the famous Knight King! Let us also listen to your desire to be king. ”

Rider Iskandar finally turned to Saber Artoria. At any time, the desire in her heart has never wavered.

My way of king is my pride. Still raising his head, the Knight King looked directly at the two Heroic Spirits and said, "I want to save my hometown. I want to change the fate of Britain's demise. (To be continued.) )
