Night finally fell. The Ainsbergen Forest was once again surrounded by darkness.
In recent days, every night had been so thrilling. Mysteries that ordinary people could not imagine in their lives had happened.
A part of the Ainsbelen Forest had been destroyed by the battle last night. It could not be recovered in a short time. This place faithfully recorded the occurrence of the war.
A large part of the interior of Ainsberg Castle had been destroyed, and a corridor had been shattered by the Two Elements Fall. If not for the design of the castle, the entire castle might have collapsed! The internal destruction was always so terrifying…
A portion of the castle had been completely destroyed by the battle between the two of them. The explosives designed by Amiya Keishi had also caused the entire castle to fall apart. Only a few rooms were still intact, and Hisashi Miyabi and Amiya Keishi were currently recovering from their injuries...
Magic could do everything that modern medicine could do, and could even greatly reduce the time needed. However, Ainsberlen's magic was considered alchemy, and it followed the principle of equivalent exchange. Such a rapid recovery brought about a great burden on the body and lifespan...
Alistair sighed helplessly. She was very apologetic about Jiu Yu Wu Mi's injury...
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out without warning. The earth-shattering roar made Alistair dizzy, and she fell to the ground.
"What happened? What happened?" Alistair asked in panic as she propped herself up.
A pair of slender arms helped her up. The arms looked thin and weak, but they gave her a strange sense of security...
" Saber…" She finally calmed down." Did he break through from the front?”
" Are you alright, Allie?" Saber helped Alisfer up and looked into the distance." They're not friendly. Let's go out and welcome them!" Please stay by my side!"
Alistair nodded, but her body was still filled with indescribable fatigue. She had experienced too much in the past two days…
The two of them quickly walked out of the castle and walked to the vast terrace in front of the castle.
"…This thunder, this tactic, it should be Rider!”
"Yeah, I think so too." Thinking of Rider's chariot that day, Alisfer nodded with certainty. Thinking about how the terrifying berserker had been knocked out in one blow, Ainsberren's barrier would not last long...
"Hey, Knight King! I came here to meet you. Come out quickly! Ah!" The voice came from the front. It seemed that the enemy had already broken through here.
Saber covered his entire body with his armor and was fully prepared…
Ariel and Saber walked towards the source of the voice as if they were facing a great enemy, but the person who appeared stunned them…
Rider and his Master were not the only ones present.
Saber heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were also there.
He smiled and nodded at the two of them. The two of them also smiled politely and returned the greeting.
"There are too many trees in the courtyard. It's not convenient to go in and out, so I cut down some for you.”Rider twisted his neck, and his tone sounded like…a hooligan…
" Rider, you..." Saber's temper was instantly ruined when he saw Rider.
"Hey, hey, hey, Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit tonight? Don't always wear that rigid armor, look at Lancer and his Master!”Rider frowned and said unhappily.
The two of them were wearing the same clothes as before…kimono and tight clothes like Lancer, but they looked very modern…
Wilbur hid behind Rider. He looked at Alistair, then at the two fallen figures not far away from him. His heart was trembling. The desire to go home was written clearly on his face.
However, Saber and Alisfer's eyes were focused on the item Rider was carrying…
It was a bucket. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was an ordinary bucket.
"Rider, what are you doing here?”Saber didn't know what to say to Rider, so he asked about his purpose.
"Don't you understand? Of course, I'm here to drink with you! Look, I've called Lancer and his Master over! -- Hey, don't just stand there. Hurry up and lead the way. Find us a courtyard suitable for the banquet!”Rider said matter-of-factly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
Saber opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.
Saber sighed helplessly and asked Alistair. "Ellie, what should we do?"
Alistair was also a little silly. She was originally angry, but when she saw the Conqueror King and the Two Elements, she couldn't get angry.
"Maybe he really wants to invite me for a drink? Besides…Luo had also accepted the invitation.”After deliberating for a moment, Alistair answered Saber's question.
"Hmm…Could it be that they want to use a soft approach to Saber?”He was slightly puzzled.
"No…this is a challenge!" Saber suddenly said. His tone was unwittingly serious.
"Challenge?"
"Yes, I am! I am the king, and he is also the king! Since they couldn't fight now, they would fight over the wine table!”
"Hahaha! That was it! Rider laughed when he heard Saber's words.
"Then, Saber, do you dare to accept the challenge?”
"Why wouldn't I dare!" His firm words revealed his determination!
……
By the flower bed in the castle's courtyard, everyone had arrived.
Rider brought the bucket over and smashed the lid with a punch. The smell of red wine filled the air…
"Although its shape is strange, it is a wine vessel!”Rider said as he scooped out the wine.
He drank the first cup of wine in one gulp and asked casually,""I heard that only those who are qualified can obtain the Holy Grail?”
Saber took the glass of wine from Rider without hesitation and downed it in one gulp. It was the same for Liang Yiluo and Lancer. Although Liang Yiluo did not like to drink, he would rather have a cup of tea.
Wilbur and Alisfer sat at the side, shaking their heads and rejecting Rider's offer. Rider didn't mind and continued drinking.
Whether it was Saber, Lancer, or the two of them, they were all equally generous when it came to drinking, which made Rider very satisfied.
"Then, who do you want to see who is stronger?”Saber asked as he finished the wine in his glass. "However, before that, I still have a battle!”Saber looked at Lancer, who was standing beside him.
"Exactly. A real contest in the name of the king. In the end, who is qualified to get the Holy Grail, the Knight King or the Conqueror King?”Rider said seriously, but then he suddenly let go of his seriousness and chuckled." Ah, there's someone who calls himself 'King' here!”
"-enough jokes? Bastard!“
As if responding to Rider, an arrogant voice accompanied by a dazzling golden light flashed.
That voice made everyone present stiffen.
"Archer, why are you here?”Saber said sternly.
"Ah, I saw him on the street and invited him over, but I was still late, golden guy!”
Gilgamesh looked at Rider arrogantly." To think that you chose such a lousy place to hold a banquet. You made me come here specially. How are you going to apologize? "Also…" He glanced at Liang Yiluo and Lancer."What's up with this bastard and that loyal dog?"”
"Ah, don't say that! I really admire Lancer and his Master. Since we met on the street, of course I have to invite them together. Come, let's have a drink!”Rider said casually as he handed over the wine.
The Hero King, who had thought that he would be angry, snorted coldly and agreed to his words. He took the wine. It was unknown whether he really did not care about the kick from the Two Elements Fall or whether he was hiding his anger in his heart.
"Bah, what kind of lousy wine is this!”
Gilgamesh's face was filled with disgust.
"Is that so? I bought it from the market here. It's not bad!”Rider scratched his head in confusion.
"You think that because you don't know anything about bars! Bastard!"
Archer sneered. The void around them trembled, causing Alistair and Wilbur to shiver. However, what appeared from within was a dazzling wine set, as well as clear and fragrant wine.
"Take a look! This is the king's wine!"
"Oh! I'm so touched!" Rider didn't care about Archer's tone and insults. He happily poured himself a glass of wine.
Liang Yiluo took a cup and drank it with Rider. Lancer wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"Oh! How delicious! Isn't that right, Lancer's little Master!”Rider praised.
"Yes, indeed, it has a very special taste!”Liang Yiluo nodded, although he didn't know anything about wine…
Archer laughed arrogantly as if this was a compliment. He didn't mind that the two of them drank his wine. He naturally had the magnanimity of a king!
Saber, who had been very wary of Gilgamesh, was also intrigued. Lancer was the same, and both of them drank at the same time.
"Ah, this is definitely not wine for humans. It's for gods!”Rider sighed as he continued drinking.
"Of course, be it wine or swords, my treasure vault is the best! This is the taste of a king!" Swirling his wine glass leisurely, the Golden King was very satisfied.
"What a joke!" Saber roared.
"Listening to your boasting is really annoying! He's like a clown!"
Gilgamesh sneered." A guy who doesn't even know how to drink is not fit to be king! Humph!"
"Alright! You two! Let's consider whether each other is qualified to get the Holy Grail!”Rider advised.
"In that case, Archer, use your identity as a king to convince us that you are qualified to obtain the Holy Grail!”
"First of all, the word 'fight' is not used correctly!”
"Hmm?" Rider looked at Gilgamesh in surprise.
Archer sighed helplessly, as if his ignorance of others annoyed him.
"That was originally mine! All the treasures in the world came from my collection! Although they have been lost in my treasury, their owner is still me!”Archer arrogantly declared his ownership of everything in the world.
"That means that you have the Holy Grail before. You know what it looks like and what it is?”
"No, I can't! This isn't something you can understand. My total wealth has already exceeded the scope of my knowledge. However, as long as it's a treasure, it belongs to me. There's no doubt about this! You actually want to snatch my treasure, you really don't know your limits!”
After hearing this, the two of them suddenly had the urge to rob him…
Saber was even more speechless…
"Are you insane too? Archer, I originally thought that only Caster was like this!”Saber had activated some kind of mode and started to mock him maliciously!
"Well, how should I put it?" Rider responded casually, but he didn't stop pouring wine.
At the same time, he also did the same thing. This drink was indeed delicious…
"Archer, you don't really care about the Holy Grail, do you? You don't have any desire to fight for it, right?”Rider suddenly asked.
"Indeed. If you are willing to submit to me, it is not a big deal to give this cup to you. Of course, if you dare to snatch my treasure, I will not let you go. This is my principle!”
"Ah, surrender or something? That can't be done!”Rider scratched his head and said.
"Then, what is the reason?" Rider was curious about this.
"It's the law!" Archer replied without thinking," It's the law I set as the king.”
"Yes!" Rider nodded in agreement.
"What a perfect king! I can carry out the rules I set, but I still want the Holy Grail. If I want something, I'll snatch it because I'm the Conquest King!”Rider laughed heartily.
"As long as you dare to invade, I can punish you!”Gilgamesh responded to Rider's provocation.
"Then let's meet on the battlefield!"
"But, Archer, let's drink first. We'll talk about this later!”
"Of course!"
"Oh right, Lancer, although you're not the king, why did you obtain the Holy Grail?”Rider suddenly asked Lancer.
Lancer, who had been standing there, heard the question and answered without thinking,"My wish has been fulfilled. Protect my Lord until the victory of this war!”
"So, you don't have any special wishes, and you're only doing it for your Master?”Rider asked in surprise.
"You can say that!" Lancer nodded and admitted.
"Hmph, you're really a loyal lackey!”Archer pursed his lips and said, but he didn't criticize him. He wasn't a king, so there was no need to compare him with a king. Besides, every king would naturally be satisfied with his loyal subordinates.
"Ah, what a loyal warrior!”Rider praised, but he didn't say anything about him joining his army. It would be an insult to his loyalty when his lord was still alive. Besides, his lord also admired him.
"Hey! So, Master of Lancer, what do you wish for?”It seemed like Rider was going to ask everyone present.
"Ah, me?" She took a sip of wine and saw that the topic had shifted to her. The two fell and stopped.
"I have no interest in the so-called Holy Grail. However, I would like to see these heroes of the past. Moreover, this can also sharpen my strength.”After thinking for a moment, Yin Yang Luo replied casually.
"Oh? Is it to pursue greater power?" Rider looked at the two falling stars, feeling that he didn't finish his sentence.
"No!" He shook his head firmly."…I'm not a slave to power! To me, power is only a means to achieve my goal. You can't confuse a means with a goal!”
"Then, what is your purpose?" Rider was rather curious, and the others were also listening attentively.
He poured another cup of wine and downed it in one gulp before saying meaningfully,""Rider, didn't you ask if there was a wish that could surpass the heavens and earth? What I want to tell you is that the wish that is greater than this world is to transcend this world itself!”
"As for me! Just to surpass everything!" As he spoke, he completely released his control over the Origin Energy. The soaring flames carried an endless power of 'surpassing'!
