Chapter 402: King Banquet! continue
As he spoke, Gilgamesh took out a small, ornate flask of gold from the king's treasure. With a flick of his hand, the same golden wine glass flew in front of everyone present, exactly one by one.
Gilgamesh, who can compete with the gods, how can he be a superficial person with different martial arts.
The colorless and clear wine slowly poured down from the spout, and the refreshing fragrant aroma aroused the commotion of the wine worm in the stomach as soon as it appeared. Smelling that unique fragrance, a sea of beautiful and vivid flowers emerges in the eyes of everyone.
Just looking at the glossy, slightly fluctuating wine makes people's throats surge. Iskandar, who was the most greedy for glasses, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and impatiently snatched the flask from the sneering Gilgamesh and poured himself a full glass.
The hand that picked up the wine glass was unbelievably smooth, and he was not even so careful with the sword when he was fighting, for fear of spilling a drop if he was not careful.
Take a sip, take another sip. The bold king is more stingy than the most stingy person in the world at the moment, tasting the most refreshing peerless wine in his life little by little, and the sweet and fragrant sweetness echoes in his mouth and lingers in his heart.
Before he knew it, a glass of wine was all down, and Iskandar couldn't get enough of it.
"What a good wine! Sweeter than all the fine wines I've ever drunk in my life! β
Even Lin Daoyuan, who has experienced extraordinary, has to admit that after drinking, he feels like he is in a sea of flowers and puts all his troubles behind. It's intoxicating. Alcohol is not drunk, everyone is drunk? If you drink this wine, you will be drunk if you are not drunk!
"Ignorance." Gilgamesh spat out two words proudly, looking smug.
"What good wine have mere mortals ever drunk. This king is a secret brew of flowers in the fairy realm, even the secret treasure of those miscellaneous gods. A group of nouveau riche from the countryside also deserve to be kings? What a joke. β
"If you want to talk about nouveau riche, no one can compare to you." Saber glanced at Gilgamesh's golden armor, which was also golden in the moonlight. Indulge in a fling at.
"As a king who rules the world, his vision is so vulgar that he likes gold. I have to say it's a kind of sadness. Look at the way you look at your eyes above the top. Isn't it because your tyranny has caused the country to be so poor that you haven't even seen much gold! β
As soon as these words came out, even the King of Conquest and Nero, who were enjoying the wine, looked at Archer with gossipy expressions. No, that's really the case!
"Hmph. Shallow. Only the noble and brilliant gold of the sun is worthy of this king with endless treasures. Would think it's just a scrap of gold, Saber. That's all there is to your state of mind. β
Without waiting for Saber to refute, Iskandar's eyes lit up and he asked what he had been thinking about in his heart.
"Archer, you've always said there's endless treasure. How many are there, exactly? β
"The number of treasures in the possession of this king is even greater than I realize. But as long as it is a 'treasure', it must be the king's thing. The so-called Holy Grail is no exception. β
Gilgamesh's face was cold as he looked at the King of Conquest.
"Rider, dare to peek into the king's treasure. It's a self-defeating one! β
Conquering Wang Hao laughed loudly, not caring about the other party's threat.
"Hahahaha! ~My King is called the Conquest. It's in my nature to conquer and plunder. If you give me all your treasures, I will no longer think about you. β
He was met with Gilgamesh's indifferent gaze. Turning a blind eye, perhaps in his eyes. Rider is already a mortal man. No need to worry.
Iskandar smiled heartily and continued: "Archer's identity, I guessed a little. He has no pursuit of the Holy Grail, but only wants to get rid of those of us who snatch the Holy Grail. Perhaps, having some fun is also a reason. β
"And I'm determined to have the Holy Grail! I want to regain my flesh! β
This unexpected answer surprised even his lord Webb. Shouted almost in horror.
"You...... You! Do you still want to conquer the world...... Wow! It hurts! β
Rider snapped his fingers to the side and continued, "Fool, though able to appear in this world with magical powers. But we are Servants after all. β
Shaking his right hand, "I want to be a real being in this world where I can be reborn. Firmly rooted. Fighting the heavens and the earth on your own is what 'conquest' is all about. Use this as a starting point to move forward, and finally get what you want...... Fang is my way of overlord"
"Knight King, Roman Tyrant, talk about your thoughts."
Nero was unceremoniously the first to speak, his voice as melodious as a song.
"As Roman Emperor. My will reigns supreme. Whether it is the so-called sectarian forces, the top of the state or the common people, they must follow my orders. β
The petite body exudes a domineering momentum, and the power of the king is undoubtedly revealed. But then, the majestic expression turned to a chuckle. The atmosphere in the stadium eased.
"Well, even so, but in the end, he was ousted from the throne by someone else. Compared to being an emperor, Yu is an artist who rivals the god of music. β
No one laughed at Nero's defeat and was able to admit his defeat so calmly. This alone shows her broad mind.
The King of Conquest looked at Nero expectantly, and said curiously: "I didn't expect that the Roman tyrant was still an artist!" Can you show us a little bit of it? β
"Good! Let you wait to listen to the wonders of the after......"
The excited Nero was just about to stand up, but Lin Daoyuan quickly grabbed him and hurriedly stopped him. Just kidding, don't look at Nero's beautiful voice, but his singing voice is really not very good. But she's not conscious at all!
Since I heard it stupidly once, I was so sad that I vomited blood, and I didn't dare to let this aunt show her talent. That's a high-power weapon of destruction comparable to infrasound!
Before you know it, it's Saber's turn for this round of Q&A.
"My wish is to save my homeland, with the almighty wish machine...... Change the fate of Britain's destruction. β
Silence, almost dead silence. Putting down his glass, Rider breaks the silence
"Hey, Knight King. Did you just say that if you want to change your fate, you just need to subvert the past history and deny everything you have engraved in history? β
"Exactly." Saber asserted proudly. "Even if it were a miracle, it would not have been possible. But as long as the Holy Grail is truly omnipotent, it must ......"
Archer sneered, and Rider looked equally puzzled. Looking at her eyes, I wanted to see something strange.
"Why be suspicious? Why are you laughing at me? What is so strange that I am so grieved by entrusting me with the sword and perishing the Motherland to which I have dedicated my life! β
"The so-called king. Naturally, we should step up so that our kingdom will prosper. β
"That's not true." Rider is colored. "The king should not dedicate himself, it is the country and the people who should dedicate themselves to the king, not the other way around."
"What are you talking about?" Saber said in surprise. "Isn't that the rule of a tyrant?!"
At this time, even Nero couldn't help but speak.
"Saber, it's because we're tyrants that we're heroes. But if there is a king who regrets his rule and its end, it is only a faint king. It's not as good as a tyrant. The Rome I ruled, even if it ended up falling, I never regretted it! β
Despite the unanimous rejection of the kings present, Saber still insisted on his idea.
"Correct management, correct rule, Fang is the king's long-cherished wish!"
"In other words, as a king, are you the 'right' slave?"
"So what! Sacrificing oneself for one's ideals is the work of a king. β
"That's not a man's way of living at all."
"After becoming a king and ruling the country, I no longer have the luxury of living in a way that can be human. Conquer the King. You who are pursuing the Holy Grail for your own sake will not understand. It is impossible for you to become the overlord in order to satisfy your endless **! β
Rider yelled angrily, "I see! Saberγ You should have been a fair and honest sage back then. Presumably, your heroic posture at that time should have been noble and inviolable! However, who will yearn for this thorny road called 'martyrdom'? Who would be fascinated by it? β
"The so-called king should be more greedy than the people of the world, laugh more happily, and be more angry. Regardless of turbidity, it should reach the peak, only in this way will the courtiers envy the king and be overwhelmed by the king. In the hearts of all the people of the world, light up the light of longing for 'I also want to be king'. β
"O king of great fame among knights, perhaps you say that the righteousness and ideals you advocate have indeed saved nations and redeemed nations, but ...... It's impossible not to know what will happen to just those people who have been saved. β
Saber couldn't help but think back to the last scene of his life. Under the sunset, the hill of gladiolus, the blood of knights stained the earth. was supposed to be a brave soldier who loved the same country, but he was buried in the battlefield in a different place. And the leader of the enemy army is his own child!
The sword pierced through the enemy's abdomen, and at the same time, it was her fragile heart that could be pierced at the same time! King Arthur, who was originally proud of the British lord and praised the people, saved the people from fire and water, was betrayed here.
In the end, Rider delivers the fatal blow.
"To your own subjects, you have only blindly tried to save them, but you have not known how to guide, you have never shown what the 'desire of a king' is, you have abandoned your lost subjects, but you are only humane, intoxicated by your seemingly perfect ideals.
Therefore, you are not really a king, but a person who does not live for yourself, but is bound by an idol called the king who exists only for others...... Just a little girl."
I wanted to refute it, but every time I opened my mouth, the scene that was still fresh in my mind came to mind. Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers. He who lies down is not the enemy. but the subjects who trusted her, who followed her, who were born and died together, and ...... Her loved ones.
"Saber, do you really think your wish will come true?"
Lin Daoyuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the people present.
What does that mean? Failure to fulfill Saber's wish shows that the Holy Grail is not omnipotent! Isn't it a joke that they participated in the Holy Grail War!
"The owner of the second law, the jewel man. You should all know this. What is the second law? It is parallel space-time interference. β
What does this have to do with your own desires? Saber frowned, then thought of something, and his eyes widened. The shock that could not be concealed, even horror.
"Impossible! It will never be like this! β
It's a pity that Lin Daoyuan ruthlessly shattered her only hope.
"Even if you win the Holy Grail War, use the Holy Grail to make a wish and choose a king who is better than you. It is only because of this result that a new parallel world is generated. What is the significance of what you are doing compared to these countless parallel time and space? Or do you just want to redeem yourself and not care about 'yourself' in other worlds? β
"That ...... all parallel with the Holy Grail"
"Impossible!" Unusually resolute and straightforward rejection of Saber's self-deception.
"Don't forget that your Heroic Spirits are under the jurisdiction of the Inhibiting Force. Do you think the Holy Grail can resist inhibitions? β
Despair, a dead despair welled up in Saber's heart.
This is a world of extraordinary powers, and the legendary mage Merlin predicted early on that the son of King Uther would lead the kingdom of Camelot to the top.
Thus, while the other girls were still enjoying the love of their parents, a young girl named Artoria was left alone and engaged in arduous knightly training. Swordsmanship, spearmanship, riding and other abilities must be practiced.
The moment the sword of the king was drawn, the burden of reviving the whole country weighed on her weak shoulders. There are no complaints, no slackness, and she is naturally under pressure that no one can imagine.
Because, for granted. From childhood to adulthood, the value of cultivating her is here, isn't it?
The delicate maiden was crowned king, and her fate was linked to the entire kingdom from then on. Pacify the turmoil in the country, save the people and the fire and water, and lead the knights loyal to him to defeat the invaders who burn and loot. The glorious history of Great Britain has been created.
But with the country's peace, "King Arthur does not understand people's hearts", this sentence has been widely spread among the Knights of the Round Table in the kingdom at some point. In the end, she was greeted by the betrayal of her courtiers, and her own daughter drew a sword against her.
When the sword that accompanied her own brilliance pierced into her daughter's body, the words "I just want you to pay more attention to me, my beloved father, yo ......" was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
King Arthur didn't understand people's hearts, and that's really the case. Her own life was a failure, and she was the one who led to the fall of the Kingdom of Great Britain. In that fertile land, there must be a greater king than himself who can lead the country to a better future.
So, go for it. Find the king who can save the country! This is your own sin. That's what the girl thought in her heart.
When she was dying, the girl who wanted to atone for her sins resolutely signed a contract with the inhibition force. Sell yourself to the inhibition and protect the world in exchange for a chance to change the past.
But now, everything is ruined. The Holy Grail, known as the universal wishing machine, will not be able to fulfill its wishes!
Despair, a deep and bitter despair envelops the heart. Tear that strength apart. ripped off the king's coat and revealed in front of everyone's eyes, but it was only a delicate and powerless girl...... (To be continued.) )
