The Endless Shuttle

"No, I know this man."

Saber shook her head firmly and said. "Ai Li, you heard it too. This is a challenge. I am the king, and he is also the king. If you want to decide who is the king at the wine table, it is tantamount to a 'battle' without bloodshed."

Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquerors nodded with a smile.

"Hehe, it's good to understand. Since you can't face each other with swords, let's use wine to decide the outcome. Knight King, I will not let you go tonight, so be prepared."

Indeed, if you can't face up to your kingly way, you can't defeat you...

Thinking of the magnificent scene where the monarch and his subjects were united, Saber's eyes ached, but it was only for a moment, and after that, the blond girl exuded a fierce fighting spirit as if she was on the battlefield.

——

Afterwards, Rider brought the wine bottle to the courtyard, and the two Servants sat down facing each other and confronted each other leisurely.

Irisviel and Weber sat side by side, guessing the development of the situation, while Rope was very strange and leaned against the castle wall far away from them.

Looking at the way he closed his eyes, if he didn't have a fairly standard standing posture, people would probably think he was dozing off, right?

On the contrary, behind the seemingly leisurely appearance, Rope is constructing a great magic—the real secret technique from Cthulhu.

Ahumblepersonsdespair

In the myth of Cthulhu, human beings are usually the hunting targets of those alien races, and human beings who have no resistance will be hunted down and devoured by monsters.

This enchantment magic was created according to this concept, the concept of turning the spell into a "monster" is strengthened, and other people who are shrouded in the enchantment will automatically be substituted into the concept of "prey" to weaken it, and as a "prey" 'The party will not be able to leave this enchantment. After completing the above procedures, the caster will also know the location of all living creatures in the enchantment, and no matter how hidden they are, they will be perceived by Rope.

In addition, this enhancement and weakening will not be noticed by others. This also means that even if a martial arts master is weakened to the point of a child, he will not notice the abnormality before he makes a move.

A secret technique with outstanding concealment.

—Although it is only effective for humans.

After the spell was cast, a hidden wave continued to spread outward along Rope's heart, eventually replacing the barrier originally made by Irisviel.

In the enchantment, Luo Pei felt that his five senses had become sharper than imagined, and his physical strength was constantly fermenting and strengthening. Not only that, but he also saw many 'people' hiding in the dark

Gilgamesh in spirit form, the assassin hiding in the outermost perimeter, Emiya Kiritsugu and mistress who were observing the situation with sniper rifles on the balcony, oh no, it was Hisau Maiya.

"Secret techniques are really powerful..."

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Luo Pei opened his eyes, looking at the king debate that had already started over there.

The King of Conquerors smashed the lid of the barrel with his fist, and the mellow aroma of red wine immediately permeated the air in the atrium.

"Although the shape is strange, this is a unique wine vessel in this country."

While talking, Rider proudly swiped the wine with a bamboo handle.

He first drank the wine in the spoon in one gulp, then spoke.

"I heard that only those who are qualified can get the Holy Grail. And the ceremony to select the qualified person is this battle in Fuyuki—but if you just watch from the sidelines, then there is no need to shed blood. As Heroic Spirits, if we can mutually If you agree with the other party's ability, then I don't need to say anything later."

"..."

Saber took the spoon from Rider without hesitation, and also took a spoonful of wine.

Saber's thin body will always make people worry about whether she can really drink. But judging by the boldness with which she drank, she was no less than the giant Rider. Seeing this, Rider let out a pleasant voice of praise.

"It's really nostalgic... Rider, you don't need to explain your 'King of the Holy Grail' rhetoric, I have already fully understood it." Saber put down the spoon, looked at the strong man in front of him and said.

"Haha, sure enough, you are also in the same league, Saber."

Rider smiled mischievously. Then he spoke again as if talking to himself.

"Ah, speaking of which, there is a man here who claims to be the 'King'. I still wanted that guy to be my car. Who would have thought that he would leave first? Now that I think about it, it should be here, right?"

"—let's stop joking, bastard."

It seemed to be responding to Rider's ambiguous words. Gilgamesh flashed in front of everyone in a blinding golden light.

The sound and the light made Weber and Irisviel's bodies immediately stiff. For two mortals, Gilgamesh's aura was too huge.

"Is Archer here too..."

Saber was not surprised, but gave Gilgamesh a dangerous look and then fell silent.

Chapter 47 The King's Banquet (3)

"It's really a pity that you chose such a poor place to hold a banquet. You only have this little taste. How can you apologize for causing me to come here on purpose?"

"Don't say that, come, have a drink first."

Rider smiled boldly and handed the ladle full of wine to Gilgamesh.

And he took the 'wine glass', which was of very low quality no matter how you looked at it, as he had done before, and drank it down in one gulp.

"——What kind of bad wine is this, to use this kind of wine to fight between heroes?"

Gilgamesh said with disgust.

"Really? I got it from the market here. Nice wine."

"It's because you don't know anything about alcohol, you bastard."

A vortex of void appeared around the sneering King of Gold. This was the harbinger of the strange phenomenon that could call out the Noble Phantasm, and Weber and Irisviel only felt a chill in their bodies.

——But what appeared next to Archer tonight was not weapons, but a series of drinking utensils inlaid with dazzling gemstones. The heavy gold bottle is filled with a colorless and clear liquid.

"Look, this is the 'Wine of the King'."

"Oh, I'm so touched."

Rider didn't mind the other party's arrogant tone, and happily poured the new wine into three cups, and handed one cup to Saber.

She looked at the wine in the golden bottle with some confusion, but still took the glass that was handed over.

"Oh, delicious!!"

Iskandar took a sip, immediately widened his eyes and praised.

"Great, isn't this kind of wine brewed by humans? It's the wine drunk by gods!"

"Of course, whether it's wine or swords, I keep only the best in my treasury—this is the king's taste."

"It's the behavior of a tyrant to boast about the treasures he has levied, Archer."

Because she had already drank it once, Saber was no longer surprised by the mellowness of the wine, but she still showed deep disgust for Gilgamesh's attitude.
