181The King's Wine Banquet is open, can I wait for a drink?

The second half of the night was spent in a lively atmosphere, to what extent was this excitement? …… At least Lin Luo felt that if he could sleep quietly for two hours, what a sacred and wonderful thing it would be

In short, for various reasons, Lin Luo didn't get a little rest until the morning, and taking advantage of this time, little Saber volunteered to collect information...... Originally, this kind of thing would never be done by the "strongest servant" like her, but there is really no way

The hateful women in the house, all of them treat her like a mascot, you touch your head, I pinch my face, and some people even want to rip off her clothes and take her to the bath...... This makes little Saber, who is the "strongest servant", embarrassed

Little Saber realized at this time that it turned out that cuteness and popularity were also a mistake, and she couldn't make mistakes again and again. So, in order to avoid causing psychological shadows, she did not give up even the things that only scouting soldiers would do, such as spying on the enemy.

Although Lin Luo has long understood the plot, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unknown changes because of his own incursions, just like the evil of this world that has been "rooted...... Well, it's not bad for little Saber to scout the enemy, anyway, with her A++ stealth ability, as long as she is a little cautious, no heroic spirit will find her.

After Xiao Saber left, Lin Luo said hello to everyone in the main hall, and then went to the next room to sleep...... Since he came out of Millennium City, he has hardly slept until now, even on the train back to Dongmu City, he only closes his eyes and recuperates, and he doesn't dare to really fall asleep. Just kidding, with his character of being shot while lying down, he will also be attacked by a mysterious uncle when he walks on the road, how dare he sleep easily if it is not an absolutely safe place

Although Lin Luo's current physique has far surpassed that of ordinary people, after all, it has not reached the level where he can ignore the functions of the human body, so his heart is tired and his body is tired, but he didn't wake up until the night.

Then he had a hurried dinner with the others, and not long after, little Saber had already returned from outside.

To Lin Luo's surprise, Xiao Saber really gained a lot from this trip to the enemy's reconnaissance, and he brought back a total of three news. First: Last night there was an explosion at the Hyatt Regency in Winterwood City, causing a huge fire, in which Lancer's Master Kenes disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown so far.

For this matter, Lin Luo was not surprised, the original culprit of this arson must be the heir of Emiya Kiriji, after all, in the original book, these two were also the first to fight. Even if it has caused some impact because of his appearance, but at present, Saber has been injured by Lancer, and it is impossible for Saber to recover his full strength before defeating Lancer, so ...... Regardless of whether he maximizes his interests or goes according to the original plan, Emiya Kiritsugu will attack Kenes first.

However, although Kenes is missing, he should not die so easily, and now he is probably in an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

The second news: the Church has announced that the Holy Grail War has been temporarily suspended, and everyone is on a crusade against Caster and his Master. Anyone who kills Caster will receive a Church Order.

There is nothing surprising about this matter, although Rin and the others have attacked Caster's Master Ryunosuke Rain and rescued a lot of people before, but before this, there were many people who died at the hands of these two lovers, and this kind of thing, neither the church nor Tosaka Tokitomi would sit idly by......

Then came the third news, at noon, Caster appeared in the Einzbelen Forest, thirty kilometers west of Fuyuki City, and was finally defeated by Saber and Lancer, and the two knights' masters also fought at Einzbelen Castle, and the final result was that Kenes was defeated, and Emiya Kiritsugu did not give up the pursuit...... Sure enough, the battle between the two guys continues.

Lin Luo knows all these information, and there is not much difference from his memory, the only difference is probably that the time is slightly different. It seems that his movements are still not big enough, and the butterfly effect caused by it is not obvious, of course, or the mystery on himself has not been completely revealed, and those guys don't want to take the lead in dealing with themselves and not make a head bird.

However, what really surprised Lin Luo was that Xiao Saber was able to collect so much information in just half a day, and his efficiency could be said to be far greater than that of Assassin. After all, Assassin has multiple clones, making it easier to spy on enemies, while Saber is only one person.

"Little Saber, you're really the best scout." After digesting all this information, Lin Luo touched the little guy's head and praised it sincerely.

"He's not a scout, he's the strongest Servant," but Xiao Saber was obviously dissatisfied with this position, slapped Lin Luo's hand hard, and said indignantly.

"Hey, but didn't you apply for this position on your own initiative?" Lin Luo deliberately pretended to have a questioning expression, and occasionally teasing this cute mascot was also a very interesting thing.

"No, it's just because...... Well? Little Saber was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking, she saw that Lin Luo's eyes had looked out the window at some point, so she subconsciously followed his gaze and looked outside.

What is that?

Looking into the distance through the window, Lin Luo couldn't help frowning, just now, he seemed to see a flash of thunder in the distance, although it was only a very short moment, but it gave him a strong sense.

Thunder light? How can there be thunder at this time? …… Thunder light? Well...... No, it's the Shenwei Chariot, but now it's night, what does the stupid big man of the King of Conquest want to do in the Shenwei Chariot, and that direction seems to be Ainzbelen...... yes

Suddenly, Lin Luo patted his head, and he remembered that when the King of Conquest first went to Einzberen Castle, there was a great bustle

But it doesn't seem to be this day in your memory, right? Could it be that because of his own incursions, the others have not changed much, but this time span has begun to loosen?

…… Regardless of whether he is or not, it seems that this Einsberen Castle is going to go to the last time anyway, otherwise, if you miss that kind of excitement, you will regret it for the rest of your life

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Luo's mouth hooked up a playful smile, and then he turned back to the two of them in the room and said, "Lily, Nero, it's time for us to drink." ”

……

About 30 kilometers west of the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, there is an east-west national highway that crosses the mountains far from the village. On both sides of this national highway is a dense forest, and legend has it that in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a mythical city.

The castle only welcomes its owner who enters the castle to participate in the war once every sixty years, and it is a castle of demons. It is shrouded in multiple layers of illusion and magic barriers, and is never revealed, except for the most occasional circumstances, and is almost completely cut off from the outside world.

It's a strange space, and people who know about the existence of this castle call this dense forest the Einzbelen Forest.

At this moment, night once again fell on this mysterious forest. And it is located deep in the forest inside the castle of Einzbelen...... The night was still dark and quiet, but the traces of the fierce battles scattered everywhere were still clearly visible.

Looking at the ruined castle, Alice Fell sighed and walked through the hallway. The castle that had been specially cleaned up before had become like this in less than two days, which she could never have imagined in any case.

Trying not to pay attention to the ruin-like scene, remembering the daytime battle, Alice Phil had a lingering heart.

Not long ago, Caster, who was wanted by the Church, came to the Einsbelen Forest and challenged Saber with a dozen underage children as hostages. Although the knight king bravely faced the battle, the girl who fell into the trap of the other party at the beginning fell into a great hard battle.

And immediately afterwards, Alice Phil and Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant Kuyu Maiya also encountered a terrifying enemy - Yan Feng Qili. Even Emiya Kiritsugu had a fierce battle with Lancer's Master inside the castle, and the castle was damaged because of the battle between the two.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, Lancer, who believes in chivalry, helped Saber repel Caster, and then Saber, who quickly returned to the defense, scared off Yan Feng Qili and saved the two women who were already seriously injured and almost killed. On the other hand, sensing that Keneth was in a dying state, Lancer was eager to protect his lord and left the warband, Saber did not stop Lancer, but took the initiative to make way for him, so that Lancer saved Kenes from Emiya Kiritsugu...... I have to say that this is a completely chaotic and inexplicable, unclear and chaotic battle.

Saber and Lancer, who believe in the same chivalrous spirit, have a friendship of mutual recognition and trust despite being in each other's opposing camps, but this friendship is extremely stupid for Emiya Kiritsugu, and the gap between the two has grown wider and wider, almost to the point of irreparability.

This is also a matter of course, after all, one is a knight king who believes in chivalry, is upright and upright, and the other is a cold-blooded killer who takes victory as his first goal and can do whatever it takes to win, and it would be a mistake to combine these two people. Otherwise, in the first place, Emiya Kiritsugu would not have let Alice Phil serve as Saber's acting master.

Alice Phil, who was still in a dying state of heavy duty half a day ago, has fully recovered at this moment, not because she is an artificial human relationship, but because she has a scabbard in her body-Avalon.

Originally, if this scabbard had been carried by Saber, the Knight King would have been absolutely invincible in this Holy Grail War, but Emiya Kiritsugu did not do this, because he did not pin victory in the hands of the Knight King, or he did not trust the Knight King to bring him victory, and he trusted himself more than the upright Knight King.

Therefore, the safety of Alice Phil, who is both the Holy Grail Vessel and the Acting Master of Saber must fight against and is at the forefront of the battle, is of paramount importance. So, without Saber's knowledge, Avalon was implanted in her body by Emiya Kiritsugu in a conceptual way.

However, this is very contradictory for Alice Phil, as she feels sad for the seriously injured Maiya Kuyu at the thought of being protected by Saber, and at the same time feels deep guilt for the maiden of the Knight King. But given their importance in the Holy Grail War, there is no doubt that they must be protected first, this is an indisputable fact. I will be heartbroken because my companion is seriously injured, and I can't help but say that this is my own childish sadness.

Alice Phil, who was troubled by the "hostile" relationship between her husband and the knight king, and at the same time conflicted in her heart, sighed deeply. But at this moment, a sudden roar sounded in her ears

Not only that, but the night-tearing roar also put a huge burden on her magic circuit, and the dizziness almost caused Alice Phil to fall under the porch.

The roar came from the thunder at close range, and the ensuing blast of magic meant that the enchantment in the forest outside the city had been attacked, and while the enchantment was not something so easy to destroy, the spell had been destroyed.

"What's going on...... A head-on breakout? Alice Phil's face changed drastically, isn't it just the end of a fierce battle during the day, and now someone is attacking again? , didn't it mean that the Holy Grail War was temporarily halted before the elimination of Caster? Who the hell is it?

Alice Phil was terrified in her heart, and suddenly, a pair of powerful arms supported her shoulders, which were the arms of Saber, who appeared next to her for the first time after noticing the mutation.

"Are you alright? Alice Fell. ”

"Well, I was just taken aback, I didn't expect such a messy guest to visit." Alice Fell shook her head, rather calm.

Saber looked at the place where the voice came from and said in a deep voice, "I'll go out to meet you, you stay by my side." ”

Alice Phil nodded, staying by Saber's side to meet her, which meant that she had to face the enemy herself. But the battlefield is the safest place for Alice Phil, because the strongest Servant is right next to her.

Alice Fell quickened her pace and followed Saber, and the two of them sped through the horrific castle, aiming for the terrace outside the entrance. Since it was the other party attacking from the front, it should be able to meet him there.

"The thunder just now, and this unscrupulous tactic, the other party should be Rider." Saber said as she walked, and she had the impression that no Servant except the tyrant was going to mess around like that.

"I think so." Alice Phil recalls the powerful power of the Noble Phantasm Divine Wheel that she had witnessed in Warehouse Street a few days ago, and the Divine Ox Chariot entwined with thunder and lightning could easily destroy the magic array set up in the forest once the full power of the Divine Ox Chariot was released. It would have been fine if the enchantment had been intact, but due to the attacks of Caster and Kenes during the day, the enchantment was at its weakest.

"Hey, the Knight King, I came to meet you, come out quickly." The voice came from the hall, and the other party had already stepped through the main entrance, and there was no doubt that the enemy was Iskandar, the king of conquest.

Listening to his breathless shout, it didn't look like a warrior about to fight, but Saber didn't dare to slack off, and she materialized the silver armor as she ran.

Alice Phil and Saber finally made their way down the hallway to the terrace, but they didn't know what to say when they saw the enemy Servant standing tall in the hall through the moonlight from the skylight.

"Yo, Saber. When I heard about the castle, I wanted to see how it came to be. The King of Conquest smiled unashamedly and bared his teeth, and then he moved his neck in a deliberate manner, "There are too many trees in the courtyard and it is too inconvenient to enter and exit, and I almost got lost before I got to the city gate, so I cut some for you, thank me." The view has become much better. ”

forcibly destroyed the barrier that others had painstakingly arranged, and instead asked others to thank him, and it is estimated that this kind of words can only be said by the king of conquest.

“Rider。 You ......" Saber snapped, but she didn't know what to say in the face of this always inexplicable enemy.

The King of Conquest frowned in surprise and said, "Hey, Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit tonight?" Don't wear that stiff armor all the time. ”

He shook his jeans and T-shirt as he spoke, and he didn't know if he was showing off or doing something, which made Saber speechless. Of course, she didn't know that the reason why the other party wore such a dress was inspired by her wearing a suit.

However, Saber wears a suit because of Alice Phil, so in the end, the "culprit" is still some silver-haired woman.

The Master of the Conquest King, Webber, half-hid behind the former's massive body, looked up at Alice Field, and saw whether his expression was hostile or terrified. Needless to say, his face clearly said that he wanted to go home and hurry up.

For such a contradictory pair, neither Saber nor Alice Phil knew what they meant, to say that the battle was not alike, but to say that it was friendly...... Will there be friendly people who will forcibly break their barriers?

If so, they swore they would never have such a friend.

And, to their surprise, what made them even more strange was that the King of Conquest had not a weapon or anything else used in battle, but a barrel...... No matter how you look at it, it's a wooden wine bottle. The big man who easily sandwiched the wine bottle under his arm is not like a heroic spirit, but more like a sake brewery owner who came to deliver the goods.

"...... you" Saber took a deep breath and said calmly, "Rider, what are you doing here?" ”

"Still don't understand? I'm looking for you for a drink, don't be there, lead the way, is there a courtyard suitable for a banquet? It's all gray inside this castle, no. The King of Conquest pointed to the ruined surroundings and said with a stern expression.

Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger that had been stored in his chest was gone. Looking at this seemingly innocent opponent, she couldn't maintain her fighting spirit.

"Alice Phil, what should I do?"

Alice Phil was similarly confused, angry at the destruction of the forest's barrier, but after seeing that grinning face, she couldn't hate it anyway.

"He's not the kind of person who sets traps, does he really want to drink?"

The King of Conquest had said that he would wait for the winner to be decided between Saber and Lancer before taking on the challenge. Keeping the pride and self-esteem of the Heroic Spirit, his sudden appearance tonight is really incomprehensible.

"Could it be that the man wants to adopt a soft policy towards Saber?" Alice Fell was worried in her heart, the previous time the king of conquest wanted to take the knight king as his subordinate, did she really come to dig a corner this time? While Saber wasn't the kind of person who would be poached easily, she felt it was better to be careful, just in case.

"No, this is a challenge" At this moment, Saber, who should have lost his fighting spirit, suddenly became serious for some reason.

"Challenge?" Alice Phil's head was full of question marks.

Saber, however, had a solemn face and whispered in a deep voice, "Yes." I am the king, and he is also the king, and if you want to divide the high and low at the wine table, it is equivalent to a bloodless battle. ”

Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquest smiled and nodded, "Hehe, it's good to understand." Since you can't fight each other with swords, let's use wine to fight it out. Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, get ready. ”

"Interesting, I accept." Saber resolutely responded, exuding a fighting spirit as if he were on the battlefield. Only now does Alice Phil realize that this is not a joke, but a real fight...... Although this battle is speechless.

The banquet was held by the flower bed in the atrium of the castle. The daytime fighting did not spill over here, and it did not look shabby when it was used to entertain guests.

The King of Conquest brought the decanter to the atrium, and the two Servants sat down face-to-face and confronted each other. Alice Fell and Webber sat side by side, guessing at the development of the situation, realizing that it meant a temporary truce, and that he would just have to watch from the sidelines.

The King of Conquest smashed the lid of the barrel with his fist, and the mellow aroma of red wine filled the air in the atrium, and then he triumphantly slapped the wine with a bamboo handle. First, he drank the wine from the spoon in one gulp, and then said, "I heard that only those who are qualified can get the Holy Grail. ”

The serious tone immediately calmed the surrounding atmosphere.

"And the ritual of selecting the person who is qualified is this war that is being fought in Fuyuki, but if you just watch from the sidelines, then there is no need to shed blood. If we can recognize each other's abilities, then I don't need to talk about it. The King of Conquest continued, handing the spoon to the girl opposite.

Saber didn't hesitate to take it, scooping the same spoonful of wine into his mouth.

The girl's thin body always makes people worry about whether she can really drink. But seeing the boldness with which she drank, she was not at all inferior to the king of conquest, who could not help but let out a pleasant compliment when he saw this.

"So, first of all, are you going to compete with me to see who is stronger? Rider。 The girl's sharp gaze shot at the giant man opposite, and the meaning of the challenge was self-evident.

"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 to call it the Holy Grail Q&A. In the end, who among the knight kings and conquering kings will become the king of the Holy Grail? It's a fitting question to ask a wine glass. The King of Conquest changed his serious tone and smiled mischievously. Then he spoke to himself, "Ah, there is another man here who claims to be king." ”

"That's the end of the joke, what's the matter." As if in response to the unclear words of the conquering king. A dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone. The voice and the light made Saber and Alice Phil's bodies stiffen at once—it was a petite girl with the golden color of the Supreme.

"Archer, why are you here?" Saber asked sharply, and it was the conqueror who answered her, "Ah, I asked her to drink with her when I saw her on the street, but she was still late, but she didn't walk like me, and I can't blame her." ”

Like the King of Conquest, the petite girl did not wear heavy armor, but dressed in the casual clothes that modern ordinary girls often wear, she first looked at Saber, and then looked proudly at the King of Conquest with her ruby eyes, and her tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hmph, it's really a shame that you chose such a dirty and messy ghost place for a banquet, you just have this taste, I came here on purpose, how can you apologize?"

"Don't say that, come on, have a drink first." The King of Conquest smiled and handed the spoon full of wine to the other party. She thought she would be annoyed by Rider's attitude, but instead he simply took the spoon and drank the wine inside.

Alice Phil remembered the challenge Saber had spoken of earlier.

Archer, the golden spirit of unknown identity, could not have refused the wine handed by Rider since she claimed to be king.

"What kind of bad wine is this, actually using this wine to fight between heroes? Is your head caught in the door panel? The girl spit out the wine she had just drunk, and said with a look of disgust.

"Really? I bought it from the market here, and it's a good wine. The King of Conquest scratched his head, somewhat overwhelmed.

"I think that's because you don't know anything about wine, you kind," the petite girl said as if venting, and then a vortex of void space appeared around her, which was a precursor to the strange understanding that could summon a treasure, and Webber and Alice Field, who were standing next to her, immediately felt a chill.

But it wasn't a treasure that appeared beside her, but a series of wine utensils inlaid with dazzling gems, heavy and gorgeous gold bottles, filled with fragrant and clear liquid.

"Look, this is the king's wine," said the girl, looking up proudly.

Before the others could react to this change, suddenly, at this time, a voice floated in from outside: "If it's the King's Wine Banquet, I think we are also qualified to drink it, do we still have a seat?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this voice, everyone immediately turned their heads to look, and then saw that in the corner of the flower bed, there was a red figure and a white figure, and in the middle of the two stood a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a faint smile.

"Is that you?"

Everyone was shocked, this was the eighth Master who had unexpectedly appeared in this Holy Grail War, and his Servant
