章節 46: Chapter 45: Special Banquet
However, Tatsuya did not expect that even Gilgamesh was invited. He had no doubt that this was another act of Iskandar's will.
"I never thought you would choose such a small and suffocating place to hold the 'Feast of Kings.' This alone shows how incompetent you are. How are you going to apologize for bothering me to come all the way here?" Although Gilgamesh sat down, his bright red eyes looked directly at the King of Conquerors with arrogance.
Rider just laughed, ignoring the remark, and opened the wine barrel, pouring wine into the goblet that Tatsuya brought.
"Don't say such a spoilsport. You insisted on coming here by yourself and are late, so of course you have to drink first." He picked up the glass and handed it to Gilgamesh.
Although the King of Heroes looked unfriendly and like he could be angered by any words, he took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.
This was a "challenge." Since he is the king, there is no way he can refuse this glass of wine.
Apparently, Gilgamesh recognized this and intended to dominate everyone else at this "feast."
"...Tsk, what kind of lousy wine is this? Can you use something like this to measure a hero's ability?"
As he spoke, the space beside Gilgamesh twisted and a golden door appeared. But what emerged from it was not a weapon, but a golden wine vessel.
The wine vessel slowly fell to the ground. At this time, Gilgamesh had taken out five more wine glasses.
The King of Conquerors apparently understood the intention at once, and in addition to the Servants, he also poured a glass for Tatsuya, who had fighting power comparable to that of the Servants.
Gilgamesh's wine was strong and refreshing, mellow and invigorating. The overly strong taste masked the sense of smell and even dulled the sense of sight and touch.
This forced Tatsuya to pinch his brows and use his magic power to stabilize his mind so as not to get drunk immediately—he never drank alcohol, and such strong alcohol was a little beyond his tolerance.
"Is there no lighter drink?" Tatsuya complained, "Uruk beer should be quite light."
Gilgamesh smiled leisurely, "In my treasury, there are only supreme treasures, whether it is fine wine or swords. As for beer, which is a specialty of my rule, you can find it yourself if you want to drink it."
"..." Tatsuya underestimated Gilgamesh's unreasonableness, so he changed the subject, "Forget it, since you want me to be the host, I guess no one else can satisfy you. So I'll just do it for once."
He raised his glass and looked at the Servants across the rim.
"Then let me ask you all, to participate in the Holy Grail War, you must have a wish placed on the Holy Grail, and only then will you respond to the Master's call and come." When Tatsuya said this, his eyes fell on Morgan.
He felt that this was a clever opportunity to listen to Morgan's real intentions and get a glimpse of her true origins.
The identity of the witch of Britain... is probably not enough to explain the facts.
"You got the premise wrong, God-killer," Gilgamesh said, "Using the premise of 'fighting for the Holy Grail' is already against common sense."
Tatsuya was stunned. Now that his real name had been exposed, it was true that Gilgamesh was not talking nonsense.
"Is that so? But no matter how you look at it, this Holy Grail is not the Great Grail of Uruk." Tatsuya narrowed his eyes and pointed out, "Then it must not exist in your treasure house, Hero King."
"This planet is my courtyard, and everything in it belongs to me." This was Gilgamesh's only response.
"Then there's nothing to talk about," Tatsuya exclaimed.
At this time, Iskandar smiled and continued, "In other words, King of Heroes, if I want to obtain the Holy Grail, I must have your permission?"
"There is no reason for me to give treasures to bastards like you." Gilgamesh smiled, his bright red eyes glaring fiercely. "Only my subjects and the people can accept my favor. If any of you want to submit to me, I can give you one or two of those cups as rewards."
This was obviously impossible. All the Servants present are kings and they will definitely not submit to others.
"So what is your purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War, King of Heroes?" asked Tatsuya.
"Of course, I'm punishing the thieves who intend to steal my treasure." At this point, the Hero King fixed his eyes firmly on Tatsuya, "But you are different, God Slayer. You are different from the bastards that are everywhere in this era. You are worth seeing. If you can pass my trial, the Holy Grail can also be rewarded to you."
Tatsuya frowned slightly, "From just now, you were yelling 'God-killer, God-killer.' I don't remember ever killing a god. I also have my own name."
"Oh..." The Hero King showed a playful smile, but he undoubtedly did not intend to change his words, let alone explain the reason, "Then I will call you the God Slayer King, hahahaha!"
Although everyone else present also found it very strange and wanted to find out the truth. After all, a mortal who killed gods is still alive in this era... It is equivalent to a living heroic spirit.
Unfortunately, those who knew the situation had no intention of revealing more information, so there was no way to investigate further.
Ignoring Gilgamesh's wild laughter, Tatsuya turned away and left the right to speak to the King of Conquerors.
In response to his gaze, the heroic Iskandar rarely looked embarrassed, "Get the body. What I want is the body."
Waver was so surprised by the answer that no one could have expected it. He could not help but scream out loud. He rushed to Rider and asked:
"You, you, you! Didn't you say your wish was to conquer the world—Awaaaaaaaa!"
Waver was hit on the forehead by Iskandar and rolled backwards onto the grass.
"To obtain a body…" Tatsuya was surprised but quickly understood the other party's purpose. "It is not to realize the wish through the Holy Grail, but to obtain the conditions for realizing the wish through the Holy Grail…"
"You understand a lot." Iskandar praised with a laugh.
But Tatsuya just looked away and drank in silence.
He didn't understand Iskandar, but he did learn all kinds of things from a queen. Even though it was a dead country, that person never gave up the position as the queen.
Just by looking at that person, Tatsuya fully understood what kind of existence the "King" was.
"Do you want to take my treasure just for this reason?" Gilgamesh asked.
"Of course! I hold my head high and face the world with my own unique body. This is the act of 'conquering'... Taking action, moving forward, and achieving my goals like this is my domineering way! But now I don't even have my own body, so I can't even take the first step!"
Listening to Iskandar's speech, several Servants showed different degrees of seriousness on their faces.
The King of Heroes looked at Iskandar with a serious and murderous gaze, "I have made my decision, Rider. I will execute you personally."
