"Let's talk about the battle later. Tonight, we're here to drink. Archer, the best of your wines can only be compared to the most precious cup. Unfortunately, the Holy Grail isn't used to hold wine. Now, we are going through a Holy Grail Q A to see if we have the qualifications to obtain the Holy Grail. First, you have to tell us why you want the Holy Grail. Archer, as a king, you should try to convince us that you are the only one who is qualified to obtain the Holy Grail.”Rider once again acted as the middleman and started to divert the attention of Raging Flame Saber towards Navenmoor. He then threw the problem to Archer who was watching the show.
"I really can't stand you. First of all, we're going to 'fight' for the Holy Grail. Your question is a far cry from this premise.”
"Hmm?"
Archer sighed helplessly when he saw Rider raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"That should have been mine. All the treasures in the world originated from my collection, but because of the passage of time, it has been lost from my treasury, but its owner is still me.”
"So you're saying that you once possessed the Holy Grail? Do you know what it is?"
"No."
Archer flatly denied Rider's question.
"This is not something you can understand. The total amount of my wealth had even exceeded the scope of my knowledge. However, as long as it was a treasure, it would definitely belong to me. This was very clear. You actually want to snatch my treasure? You should know your limits.”
Saber was speechless.
She had thought that the golden Archer was already very arrogant, but she didn't expect him to be so arrogant. He actually said that the Holy Grail was hers.
"I really don't know how you can make such arrogant remarks. Your words seem to be similar to Caster's. It seems like he isn't the only Servant who is mentally deranged.”
"Hey, hey, how should I put this?"
Unlike Saber, Rider seemed to be responding to him. At some point, he had picked up the bottle and poured more wine into the glass without minding it.
"Speaking of which, I think I know your real name. There should only be one king who is more arrogant than I, Iskandar.”
Wu Mi and Wilbur immediately focused their attention and listened attentively, but Rider did not say the name.
" The Hero King, Gilgamesh…The oldest king of mankind…The legendary king who once owned the entire world's wealth. In the end, he lost his best friend Enkidu because he rebelled against the gods. Because of the weakness and powerlessness of the human body, he embarked on the pursuit of immortality. After crossing a long journey and experiencing all kinds of tribulations, Gilgamesh finally obtained the elixir of immortality. However, a greedy snake had stolen the spirit herb. Having lost his immortality, he kept lamenting and leaving the world.”On the other side, Niven Mole continued Rider's unfinished sentence.
"Bastard, do you want to die like this?”Archer raised his head abruptly when he heard Navenmoor's words. His scarlet eyes revealed an uncontrollable killing intent as he glared at Navenmoor.
The golden halo rippled slightly in the air, and a strange weapon that was so gorgeous that it was almost impossible to look at appeared beside Archer's shoulder.
Navenmoor's eyes narrowed slightly as pitch-black smoke slowly spread out. His scarlet eyes met the aloof King's, unwilling to be outdone.
"Hey, why are you quarreling again? Didn't I say that tonight is a debate on the path of the king? Let's see who is the most suitable person to take the Holy Grail. Moreover, Hero King, what the Creator said should be true. There's nothing to belittle you.”Rider once again acted as a peacemaker, trying to persuade the two who were already in a heated confrontation.
"Hmph, I think you've hit a sore spot.”Saber took the opportunity to attack Archer verbally.
" Tsk…" Out of Rider's expectations, just as he thought they were going to fight, the Hero King suddenly put away the weapon behind him with a snort.
" That's right. I'm the Hero King who was at the end of his rope. So what? As a perfect King, I naturally have to face my past.”With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Archer once again returned to his arrogant attitude.
"Haha, not bad. Just based on this magnanimity, you are worthy of the magnanimity of the most ancient Hero King!”Rider laughed again when he heard Archer's reply. He raised his hand and finished the wine in his glass.
"So Archer, does that mean that as long as you agree, we can obtain the Holy Grail?”
"Of course, but I have no reason to reward rats like you.”
"Could it be that you can't bear to?"
"Of course not. I only reward my subjects and people.”
Archer smiled mockingly at Rider.
"Or Rider, if you are willing to submit to me, I will give you one or two cups.”
"…Ah, that's impossible.”
Rider scratched his chin. He felt that the other party's offer was too high, so he turned his head away.
"But Archer, it doesn't really matter to you whether you have the Holy Grail or not. You aren't fighting for the Holy Grail to fulfill your wishes.”
"Of course. But I can't let go of the guy who stole my treasure. This is a matter of principle.”
"Which means-"
Rider finished his glass of wine.
"In other words, what do you mean? Is there a reason?"
"It's the laws."
Archer immediately replied.
"The laws I set as king.”
"Yes."
Rider seemed to understand what he meant and sighed deeply.
"What a perfect king, able to carry out the laws he set. However, I still want the Holy Grail very much. My method is to snatch it if I want it, because I, Iskandar, am the Conqueror King.”
"Not necessarily. As long as you invade, I can punish you. There's no room for negotiation.”
"Then we can only meet on the battlefield.”
Archer and Rider nodded solemnly.
"But, Archer, let's drink first. Let's put the battle for later.”
"Of course, unless you don't like the wine I brought.”
"Are you kidding me? How can I not drink the wine in front of me?”
Saber couldn't tell if Archer and Rider were friends or foes. She could only sit quietly and watch the two of them. A moment later, she finally spoke to Rider.
"Conquest King, since you have already admitted that the Holy Grail belongs to someone else, do you still want to use force to seize it?”
"Hm? Of course, my belief is 'conquer'... which is to' seize 'and' invade'.”
Saber suppressed his anger and asked,""Then why do you want the Holy Grail?”
Rider smiled sheepishly and took a sip of his wine."
"I want to become a human."
This was truly an unexpected answer. Even Wilbur shouted in a crazy tone after letting out an "ah".
"Oh, you! Do you still want to conquer this world?”
After forcing the Master to quiet down with a flick of his finger, Rider shrugged.
"Idiot, how can you conquer the world in this lifetime? Conquering was his dream, and he could only entrust this first step to the Holy Grail.”
"Bastard…you dare to challenge me for such a boring thing?”
Even Archer was helpless, but Rider said seriously,"
" I say, even if we appear in the real world with magic power, we're just Servants in the end. 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 reincarnate in this world and live on as a human.”
Rider raised his head, his face filled with longing, telling him how much he wanted to regain his human body.
