Chapter 14: The King's Banquet The King's Qualifications Rule
When Sakura returned to the Maki Mansion alone, it was already the second day, and Berserker couldn't speak, and Sakura didn't bother to ask if she didn't speak, so I couldn't know what happened the night before. "That Sakura-chan, do you have anything you want?" "When the night comes, the big empty room is just me and Sakura-chan at home. I don't know how I'm going to get along with Sakura, after all, it's not a big problem for me to conquer the world, but it's a real headache for me to take good care of a little girl. Especially in the face of a girl who has almost no **, it is a little difficult for me to deal with it, if it is a bear child like Sasuke or Naruto, I will not be able to deal with it. "Nothing, uncle. "But I didn't know what to do in the face of such a poor child who hardly looked like a little girl of six or seven years old, and just looking at it already made me feel very distressed. "Oh, that's it!" I paced down the street with the look of a defeated rooster, wandering about, looking for something that would please the little girl. "Hmm, what is this?" I passed by a very fancy storefront, and the display window was filled with all kinds of dolls, dresses, jewelry, and other cute things that I would never normally go into. But today I walked in by a ghost, and I had a strange feeling that I should go in. "Welcome!" As soon as I entered the store, the energetic girl clerk in a pink dress at the door greeted me loudly. "What do you need?" "Is it for my girlfriend?" "No, there are no gifts for a six- or seven-year-old girl. "I looked around for clothes that matched Sakura or a cute doll or something. "Hey, did I buy it for my sister? It's nice to have an older brother like you! If only my stupid eldest brother was so considerate......" Who would have thought that she would fall into endless fragmented thoughts, it seems that she has a heavy grudge against his eldest brother. "That...... The ...... "Frightened by the girl's endless thoughts, I didn't know how to speak. "Can you help me pick a present?" I asked, a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't stop thinking about it. Then there was another apology. "Don't care, don't care. Do you have any good recommendations?" I hurriedly waved my hand, signaling her to hurry back to being a clerk. "Ah, yes! Then look here, these dresses are all new this year. After her introduction, I looked at several sets of dresses in front of me, one was a lilac dress, the simple design did not have too many ornaments, just a string of lilac beads hanging on the chest, but it was a bit like a princess's necklace, and the skirt was a lilac double tulle that accounted for half of the whole dress. The other is a burgundy British style dress, composed of a jacket on the upper body and a short skirt on the lower body, the shoulders of the jacket have a short layer of white hollow pattern shoulders, and the middle line and waist line of the dress are just two white patterns staggered, which looks like a feeling close to that of an adult. There are quite a few, but each one I feel is suitable for Sakura, and each one can show a different temperament, which makes me in a predicament. "Are there any other gifts? jewelry, dolls, etc. "After I finished looking at the children's clothes, I went on to look at the children's dolls and jewelry, and they were all good. "Please wrap all of the things you just saw for me. My words stunned the girls who received them, their stores are brand stores specializing in children's high-end clothing, toys, jewelry, etc., each of which is not something that ordinary people can consume. "So, is it cash or a credit card?" the girl asked, looking at me as if I was joking. "Just take this one. "I flipped through a credit card from my pocket and handed it over, anyway, it's not my money, the magician family is not a poor ghost, they have a deep heritage that ordinary people can't imagine, and the Jian Tong family migrated here from other countries. In order for the Holy Grail to take root here, all the family property was brought here. After the old bug was chased away by me, I turned the house inside and out, and put the credit card cash in the safe, but for me, it wasn't just dismantled. "Yes, do you need to deliver it to my door?" The energetic girl looked at me carrying large bags and small bags in my hand, and the boxes were stacked one by one, and the height was almost higher than my height. "No problem, I'll just do it myself. I walked out of the store without thinking. "Welcome back again!" "Genki Girl professionally escorted me to the door and watched me walk away. "Oops, I forgot to ask him for his phone number...... "She thought that a man who loves her sister so much must also love his girlfriend very much, and he must be a rich man if he is so generous when he makes a move." But he will not bully others at all, so modest. Thinking about it, I fell into endless resentment. "Sakura should be a little happier now. "Actually, what I want to see most now is Sakura's smiling face, such a cute and pure child, she shouldn't spend her life expressionless and empty, and there is infinite happiness waiting for her in a beautiful world. As long as I'm still here, I won't let anyone hurt her, this is my promise to Yanye and my own obsession. "Hey, Master Berserker!" a rough voice suddenly appeared, still something that could not be revealed in front of ordinary people, but fortunately there were only a few pedestrians on the street at night, and when I looked up at the sky, I saw the source of the sound. Rider was wearing a t-shirt that seemed particularly weird to me, and his little master was shivering next to him. "Hey, are you interested in going to the castle of Einzberen for a dinner?" and the bold tone did not regard me as an enemy in the slightest, and I was immediately interested. "Who's there?" "Since it's a dinner party, one or two people won't be interesting. "This king has invited Jin Shining, if you are interested, come along, go first!" Then the big man took the reins in his hand and ran farther and farther away with a roar of thunder and lightning. "Oh, kind of interesting. Then let me take a look. "Of course, if you are invited, you have to go to the appointment, otherwise it will be rude. In the castle of Einzberen, the original luxurious castle has become dilapidated after the previous war. Whether it is the floor or the walls, the decoration and everything have been damaged to varying degrees. "Boom!" a roar suddenly appeared outside the woods in front of the castle. Only Alice Phil and Saber were left in the castle, and the two stood side by side on the wall watching the moonlight, but the enchantment suddenly reacted, which caught Alice Phil off guard. "Alice Fell, are you alright?" Saber asked with concern, holding her up at once. "Are you going to break through head-on while Kiritsugu is away?" someone broke through the barrier head-on, and she was affected a little, but in fact her life was about to end. "The thunder and undisguised appearance just now, I'm afraid...... The enemy is Rider. "If Rider does attack now, Saber will die today. "Moo~Moo~" Saber and Alice Fell, who rushed to the main entrance of the castle, immediately heard two strong cow barks. "Stop, stop, stop!" Pulling the reins, he drove the chariot straight to someone's house, and only a thick-lined guy like Rider would do that. "Huh?" "Huh?" When the two of them saw Rider standing on the chariot, they both had a hint of doubt. "Yo, Saber. Rider, who didn't notice the strange atmosphere at the scene, greeted Saber like a friend he hadn't seen in a long time. "Rider!?" Saber looked at the big man in front of him, a little embarrassed. "I heard you live in a castle, so come and have a look. It's really a beautiful place. Rider looked around at the ruined castle with a look of pity. "Hmm, what's the matter with your stiff armor? aren't you wearing modern and fashionable clothes tonight?" he saw Saber in front of him fully armed, and pointed to the T-shirt around him for the game "Grand Strategy" and said proudly. "Rider, what are you doing here?" Saber asked in a somewhat unkind tone, taking the battlefield to other people's houses without permission, and criticizing other people's houses as soon as he came up, I really don't know what he thinks. "Can't you see it? Of course I'm having a drink with you. Rider crumbled as he lifted the barrel from the chariot. "Hey, don't just stand. Lead the way! Isn't there even a courtyard suitable for feasting? This castle is full of dust, and I can't stand it!" "Uh~" Saber and Alice Phil glanced at each other, both of them embarrassed. "Bang~Goo~Goo~Goo~Wooha!" Rider and Saber sat opposite each other when they came to the courtyard, and Rider smashed open the barrel and scooped a spoonful of red wine with a sake spoon. "I heard that according to the rules, the Holy Grail is only awarded to those who are worthy of it, and the ceremony in Fuyuki City is a ritual to reinforce this. If it's just for the sake of witnessing, you don't have to shed blood. If the Heroic Spirits recognize each other's qualifications, won't there be an answer!" Rider scooped a spoonful of red wine and handed it to Saber. Saber drank it without frowning, and turned the spoon upside down. "Oh?" Rider didn't expect the female streamer to be so heroic in drinking, but he was impressed. "So you want to test my qualifications?Rider!" Saber said, looking at the big man in front of him. "Exactly. If you call each other kings and refuse to give in, you naturally can't ignore them. So this is not a Holy Grail War, but a Holy Grail Q&A, who is more suitable for the King of the Holy Grail. Ask the wine and you will naturally get the answer. "Such a frank and bold way is only the king of conquest can think of, and dare to do so. "That's the joke here! mongrel!" A burst of golden light flashed, and the armor-clad gold shimmered, and his face was calm. "Archer, why are you here?" Saber asked fearfully, the might of the King's Treasure making her jealous now. "I saw this guy on the street and invited him by the way. I also called someone you wouldn't have guessed, hehe!" Rider said calmly. "Whoosh!" a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone, it was none other than me, me. "You two are too slow! With a disgruntled tone, Rider scooped a spoonful of red wine from each of the two wine spoons and handed me and Jin Shibbling. "Wait, let me put things away first. "It's just that the courtyard is empty enough to fit big and small bags. "Hey, mongrel. Why do you want to ask this mortal to come with you?This king can accept that you, the bastard who claims to be the king, has already given you a lot of face, and you still let this mortal come over, do you want to insult this king?" the possessive Jin Shining was not happy at the moment, and began to yell at Rider. "Don't say that! everyone is a guest, so sit down. Rider managed to figure out the round and handed the spoon in his hand to Glitter. I didn't mind sitting between Rider and Saber at all, with a beautiful woman on the left and a big man on the right, with very different styles. "Hmph!" Seeing that the three of us were staring at him, he had no choice but to take the red wine in his hand and drink it, and at the same time I took the other one and drank it. "What kind of cheap wine is this? Do you think this kind of wine can measure the qualifications of a hero?" said Jin Shanshan with a frown on his brow after taking a sip. "I have to say, big brother, you really don't have good taste!" I said, patting Rider on the shoulder with a sympathetic expression. "Yes, this is a good drink that can be bought in the market in this place. Rider said with a look of pity. Accustomed to drinking Tosaka Tokitomi's treasured sake, of course, you will not be used to drinking this cheap liquor in the market. "That's because you don't know how to drink, you bastard!" Jin Shining's right hand flashed a burst of golden ripples against the ground, and a golden wine bottle instantly appeared in front of everyone, I always thought that this guy only accepts weapons!"Look! Then remember for me! This is the King's Brew!" Then he conjured four more glasses, and Rider impatiently took the wine glass and began to pour wine one by one. "Oh roar! it's so delicious!" "Uhh "Whether it's wine or a sword, I only have the best in my treasure trove! In this way, the qualification to be a king has been decided!" This guy is like a treasure in human form, with countless superb weapons, not to mention props, and now he even has wine. This is to envy many people. "I said Archer, your wine is indeed suitable for a rare real cup, but the Holy Grail is not a wine glass! First of all, ask what you want to make for the Holy Grail, and you can't ask about it!" Rider looks like I won't give up the Holy Grail even if you offer good wine. "The premise of competing for the Holy Grail in the first place doesn't make sense, it's mine. The origin of all the treasures in the world can be traced back to my treasury. "Jin Shining's words are true, as the oldest heroic spirit, he has the wealth and treasures of the world, and even the holy sword of the Knight King has a prototype, so there is nothing wrong with saying this. "Then did you kid get the Holy Grail before, do you kid know what it was?" The Holy Grail War has been going on for more than two hundred years, and except for a few old immortals, it is estimated that few people have seen the Holy Grail in its true form. "I don't know, don't judge by the standards of mongrels. The total amount of my treasure is beyond my comprehension, but as long as it is a treasure, it is certainly my property. If you want to take it without permission, there is nothing more brazen than this. From the point of view of ordinary people, these words are simply arrogant, but because he is the oldest recorded king, he can say these words. "What you're saying is no different from Caster's wild words, and it seems that he's not the only one in the deranged Servant. Saber didn't believe in this, she only believed in chivalry, and her perception had long been confined to a narrow circle. "Not necessarily!" I said lightly as the three of them watched. "The history of the Holy Grail is so long that the present human race is no longer verifiable, but as the oldest king. His cognition and insight are different from everyone else's, after all, the age is too long, it is the era of the gods. And all of you sitting here probably didn't even have a soul formed at that time!" I said so much in one breath that I was thirsty for a long time, and before they could notice it, I poured myself a glass. "I can't think of a sensible guy. "Jin Shin didn't even notice that the name he called me had changed. "What?Ancient Times?" the Knight King, who had been taught to adulthood by the great magician Merlin, had also heard his teacher talk about that legendary era. "In that case, we are indeed fighting for his treasure. Rider also looked pensive after listening to my words. "But that was a long time ago, wasn't it? Even if it was his treasure, what matter? The treasure left behind by someone who has been dead for so long should naturally be obtained by the capable. What's more, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is not really the Holy Grail. My remark caught their attention again. "Bastard, do you want to die?" said Jin Shanshan, in a misguided manner. "What do you mean when you say the Holy Grail isn't really the Holy Grail?" Saber was eager to use the Holy Grail to turn things around, and naturally he couldn't be more concerned. "Of course, the ownerless thing should be won by the strong, that's good!hahaha~" The personalities and values of the three are different, and the things they focus on are also different, so this so-called banquet used to define qualifications is meaningless at all. There will be a hundred ways for a hundred people to be king, and there will be a hundred endings. This is related to the individual's character, knowledge, values, etc., without setting a clear standard, it is simply not comparable. "If you want to use this banquet to have a Holy Grail qualification, I'll be the judge, set a standard, and then everyone will express their opinions, and what will you come to a conclusion?" I said, standing up and walking into the clearing. "You, a mongrel, this king rewarded you with a glass of wine, and you still have to make an inch, what qualifications do you have?" said Jin Shining staring at me with a pair of bright red eyes. "You really lack the qualifications to judge us, and if you are not even a king, what qualifications do you have to judge a king?" Saber's words were impartial, but they were uncomfortable to listen to. "Oh? "Rider was a little interested in my proposal. "Do you know, great kings, that you are being watched?" I said, smiling at them. "Hey?" "No, no!" "......" "Where, where?" Everyone except Jin Shining looked incredulous, especially Webber on the side, looking around for any traces of demons. "Chirp!" a red point of light shot out behind Webb, and the speed surprised everyone. "Poof!" a sharp sound came into everyone's ears, and then showed the appearance of the person who had been hit. "Assassin!" "Isn't it going to be true!" "Isn't it already dead?" Everyone except for Jin Shining and Alice Phil was surprised, one of them was in the same camp and the other was told by her husband. "Damn!" it was a shame to be caught as an assassin while trying his best to hide, and there was a small red dot on his chest that was the one I had just shot out. "Eavesdropping is not a good habit, disappear!" As my hand lifted, the seeds immediately began to take root in the Assassin's body, feeding on his flesh and blood, growing rapidly. "Uhh!!h "Whoa!" Webber found some comfort when he turned around and saw that the Assassin had been sucked dry in an instant, and crawled to Rider's side with his hands and feet desperately. "Cut, boring Shichen!" Jin Shanshan knew very well why the assassin who had been turned into nourishment appeared here, and it was not Tosaka Shichen who ordered Yan Feng Qili to do it. "Is he really human?" Saber began to look at me with some fear, and she didn't even react to the quick action she had just made. "I didn't think I would underestimate you. Rider was slightly startled, then smiled meaninglessly. "Then ......" pressed his hands to the ground, and a round table and four chairs slowly rose from the ground. "Let's get started, what's the most important thing about the King of Questions?" I looked at the shocked crowd and smiled and sat on the throne.
