Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Banquet Continues The Contest Between Kings
The banquet is continuing, and the battle between the kings has begun. The nobility of the knight king, the pursuit of the right way, the domineering way of conquering the king, and the self-supremacy of the hero king are confronting each other.
"Archer, the best of your wine can only be matched by the cup of the Most Treasure—but alas, the Holy Grail is not for wine. Now we're going to have a Grail Q&A to see if each other qualifies for the Holy Grail, and first you have to tell us why you want the Holy Grail. As a king, Archer, find a way to convince us that you are worthy of the Holy Grail. ”
"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. The words of the Hero King surprised the other two kings for a moment, and seeing the two with doubts in their eyes, the Hero King sighed and said:
"It was supposed to be my possession. 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 lightly 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. ”
Hearing the Hero King's almost gibberish words, Artoria looked at the Hero King coldly. "Your words are similar to Caster's, it seems that he is not the only deranged servant."
As for Artoria's words, the Hero King just glanced at the Knight King and closed his eyes, not replying. As Artoria was about to attack, the King of Conquest sighed.
"Not necessarily, Knight King...... Based on my conjecture and the information provided by my allies, I think I still know your real name, Golden Pickup...... "Picking up the luxurious bottle and pouring himself wine, after taking a sip, the King of Conquest changed the subject despite the curious gazes of Webber and Ellie Sophie who were present, and continued: "So archer, that means that as long as you nod and agree, then we can get the Holy Grail?" ”
"Of course, but I have no reason to reward rats like you." The golden king unceremoniously belittled the two kings present, but Rider did not get angry, but looked at the hero king with very interested eyes.
"Can't you be reluctant?"
"Of course not." Shaking the wine in the cup, the King of Heroes said mockingly, "I reward only my subjects and people." 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." It is not possible to want a king who symbolizes conquest to submit to others, and even the most ancient king cannot make the conquering king willingly bend his knees. "But Archer, it doesn't matter if you have a Holy Grail or not, you didn't fight for the Holy Grail to fulfill any wishes, did you?"
"Of course. But I can't spare the guy who took my treasure, it's a matter of principle. "The laws of the King of Heroes have collected from the hands of the people all the rudiments of technology that have arisen in his time and have taken them into their possession. This is one of the reasons why Gilgamesh has the prototype of the worldly treasure.
What does that mean? Is there any reason for this?" Drinking the wine from his cup, the King of Conquest looked at the proud King of Heroes.
"It's the law. The laws that I have made as king. ”
"Hmm...... What a perfect king, able to carry out the laws he has set. But ah, I still want the Holy Grail, and I just grab it if I want it, because I'm the king of conquest. Knowing the meaning of the Hero King's words, the King of Conquest shook his head helplessly.
"Not necessarily. As long as you come to commit it, I can sanction it, and there is no room for negotiation. "The hero king is not simply proud, but he does have this strength. Although the Hero King is currently only using the ordinary shooting mode of the King's Treasure, it is clear that the King's Treasure is not just a treasure that can only be ejected and stored. Moreover, the number of treasures in the Hero King's treasury is absolutely amazing, for example, the Hero King took out a bottle of Styx Water and smeared the whole body with all the same, so it would be difficult for the Heroic Spirits present to break through the Hero King's body with their swords alone. Just Vimona drove high into the air and opened the six ancient nuclear bomb launchports in front of him to fire a salvo, even if the other six Heroic Spirits were together, they would definitely not be able to withstand such terrifying firepower.
"Then we'll only see you on the battlefield."
Archer nodded at the same time as Rider with a serious expression.
"But Archer, let's have a drink anyway, and we'll talk about the fight 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 and Rider had made Saber unable to tell whether they were friend or foe, so she had to sit silently and watch the two of them. After a few moments, she finally spoke to Rider.
"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?"
"Huh? Of course, my belief is 'conquest'...... That is, 'seizure' and 'invasion'. ”
Saber suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Then why do you want to get the Holy Grail?"
Hearing Saber's question, the King of Conquest's shaggy face turned a rare red. Under the staring eyes of the two kings, rider finally popped out two words.
“**。”
"Huh?" Webber let out a voice of surprise, and then rushed to the side of the King of Conquest, "Do you want to conquer the world, ah! ♂”
With a flick of his finger flicking Webber back to the Heart-Seeker, the King of Conquest looked at the two kings surrounding the round table with a fiery gaze. "I said, even if we appear in the present world with magical powers, we are only servants in the end, and we don't exist in this world in the first place—although it feels a little ridiculous, are you really satisfied? I'm not satisfied. I want to be reborn in this world and live as a human being. ”
“…… King of Conquest, if that's what you're hoping for, I have a way for you to continue to exist in a servent way after the Holy Grail War ends. Xunxin, who had not spoken, looked at the conquering king, who had made a bold statement.
"Hmm...... Even so, I still try to take the Holy Grail, after all, it is my way to go to heaven and earth, and to carry out my conquest. The battle between two epic kings must be an unimaginable sense of accomplishment to conquer their hearts and souls. ”
The corners of the Hero King's mouth showed a slightly hideous smile, "It's decided, rider, I'll kill you with my own hands." "To dare to speak the words of the king of conquering heroes is absolutely impossible for Gilgamesh to tolerate.
"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. Not to be outdone, the King of Conquest replied. The conqueror then turned his attention to Artoria. "Ah, Saber, it's time for you to talk about your wishes."
For the girl who believes in honesty, is proud of the royal way, and sacrifices everything for the right, the two kings in front of her are just tyrants who are for their own **, and they firmly believe that their belief is noble and great knight king, even in the face of the two kings, he is not afraid to say: "I want to save my hometown." I want to change the fate of Britain's demise. ”……
The perspective shifts to the side of Amada Tofu Factory.
"Huh? It seems like we've never had a chance to play. Chilian's face was full of tears. Could it be that Xiao San is not as good as the original match......" Looking at Yaoyue, who was sitting side by side with Xunxin, Chilian, who could only watch the surveillance at home, roll on the ground.
"Well, Miss Chilian, I think in a few more chapters there will definitely be a chance for us to make a move." Yan Ye comforted Chilian on the side, but unfortunately Chilian cried even more sadly.
"Even a goose shows its face more often than I do. (╯"□′)╯(┻━┻"It seems, it seems, it is, it is...... (⊙_⊙)
"╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭ so it says...... During this time, Miss Chilian, you are really a tragedy. ”
PS: The second shift is in the evening.
