Chapter 21 The King's Proclamation
Sitting quietly above the sea demon statue, he took out the Maotai wine that he returned to the demon, and slowly tasted it.
It took a long time since I had to fight with all the firepower, Mo Huai felt that his body was about to rust, so Mo Huai fought very well.
"Oh, Mo Huai. After I heard that the fight started here, I wanted to come and see - why is it like this, huh?"
Rider smiled unscrupulously and showed his teeth, then he moved his neck seriously.
"You are too unauthentic in life. You're going to die and kill all directions. Look at our Knight King, tears are all gone."
"Spider. You..." Saber said sternly, but she didn't know what to say next when facing this inexplicable words of Rider.
However, Rider frowned in surprise and said, "Hey, Knight King, don't you care about your savior at this time? Don't be serious?"
If Saber is said to be serious, how should he evaluate his character? Here, maybe he can only say that he is "unrestrained".
Weber halfway hides in the sun. He looks up at Alice Phil behind his huge body, and sees his expression, whether he is hostile to the other party or feeling fear. Needless to say, his face clearly says "want to go home" and "Hurry up".
King Iskandar was now looking at Saber with a sad face, and then looked at Mo Huai with a flattering look, as if there was something in Mo Huai that forced him to do this.
"You..." Saber, who was speechless again, took a deep breath and said calmly. "Hyder, can you be more normal?"
"I still don't understand after seeing it? Can you see him drinking alone? Hey, I have to drink together. Is there a garden suitable for banquets? It's all ice stubble, no."
“…”
Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger accumulated in her chest disappeared. Looking at this seemingly unmistakable opponent, she could not maintain her fighting spirit.
"Alice Phil, what should I do?"
Alice Phil was also confused.
She was angry before because the forest barrier was destroyed, but after seeing the smiling face, she couldn't hate it anyway.
"He is not the kind of person who can set traps, do he really want to drink?"
Rider once said that he would wait until the winner and lose between Saber and Lancer before challenging. He still abides by the promise of the pride and self-esteem of the hero, so his sudden appearance tonight is really puzzling.
"Did that man want to adopt a gentle policy towards Saber?"
"No, this is a challenge."
Saber, who had probably lost his fighting spirit, became serious for some reason at this moment.
"challenge?"
"Yes... I am the king, and he is also the king. If you want to distinguish between high and low at the table, it would be like a 'fight' without bloodshed."
Perhaps because he heard Saber's words, Conquer King nodded with a smile, and looked at Mo Huai with a smile on his face.
"Haha, just understand. Since you can't face each other with swords, then use wine to decide the winner. Knight King, Mo Huai, Gilgamesh, I won't let you go tonight, be prepared."
"Funny. I accept."
Gilgamesh, who resolutely responded, exuded a fierce fighting spirit as if he was on the battlefield. Until now, Alice Phil realized that this was not a joke, but a real "fight".
Mo Huai rolled his eyes on the ice sculpture and thought to himself: In the end, you are not going to drink my wine.
The banquet was chosen by the flower bed in the castle atrium. The battle last night did not affect the place, and it did not seem shabby to serve guests. At this time, no one cared about the cold outside.
Rider took everyone to the atrium, and sat down face to face in Saber, Poison Island Yazi, and stood leisurely. Alice Phil and Webber, Gilgamesh and Mohuai sat side by side.
Rider waved at Mo Huai, with a debt collector's expression. In desperation, Mo Huai threw out a pot of wine.
After taking the wine, Rider didn't say much, and turned on the bottle cap with his fist. The mellow Moutai fragrance suddenly filled the air in the atrium.
“Although the shape is strange, it is a wine utensil unique to this country.”
Rider proudly used a bamboo-handled spoon to make a spoon of wine. Unfortunately, no one could point out his common sense mistake on the spot.
Rider first drank the wine in his spoon in one sip, and then spoke.
"I heard that only qualified people can get the Holy Grail."
The serious tone calmed the atmosphere around him. The man actually spoke in this tone and always felt something was wrong.
"And the ceremony to choose the qualified person is this war in Tomoki - but if you just watch, you don't have to bleed. If you are both heroes, if you can recognize each other's abilities, then I don't need to say anything afterwards."
“…”
Saber took the spoon handed over by Rider without hesitation and also scooped a spoonful of wine.
Saber's thin body always makes people worry about whether she can really drink. But seeing her generous drinking is not inferior to the giant man Rider. Rider gave a pleasant praise when he saw this.
"So, first of all, are you going to compete with me for who is better? DAI."
"It is true that we will fight each other in the name of the 'king', but in this way it is not called the 'Holy Grail War', it is better to call the 'Holy Grail Q&A'... In the end, who can become the 'Holy Grail King' among the King of Knights and the Conquering Kings? This kind of question is perfect for asking the wine glass."
Hider changed his serious tone and smiled like a prank. Then he spoke as if he was talking to himself.
"Ah, there is still someone here who hasn't come."
“——Don’t motivate me.”
It seemed to be responding to the unknown words of the Japanese der. A dazzling black bloodshot flashed in front of everyone.
The sound and the light made Saber and Alice Fil's bodies stiffen immediately.
"Ber-sex rker, why are you here..."
Saber asked sternly, but the answer to her was a calm and composed Sunder.
"Ah, I saw her just now-so I guess she was by the side, so I can't blame him."
The calm and composed Poison Island Yazi looked at Mo Huai with his purple eyes.
"Mo Huai, are you still... OK?"
Mo Huai looked at Poison Island's Aristocratic Son silently, not knowing what to say. To be honest, he really didn't expect Poison Island's Aristocratic Son to enter the Battle of the Holy Grail.
"Don't be so sensational, come and have a drink first."
Rider smiled boldly and handed the spoon full of wine to Poison Island Yazi.
I thought she would be angry with Rider's attitude, but I didn't expect that she simply took the spoon and drank the wine inside.
Alice Phil remembered what Saber said before about the "challenge".
Beer's rker, this hero who is unknown in his true form, seems to have a deep relationship with Mo Huai, and he doesn't like Mo Huai's archer very much, so he will not be able to refuse the wine handed over by Rider.
“——Well, good wine!”
Poison Island Yazi said with a charming face, a faint blush appeared on his face.
"Is that true? Mo Huai's wine is good."
"Hmph, although this wine is good, but compared to my wine, you are a bastard."
A whirlpool of virtual space appeared beside Gilgamesh, which was a sign of the strange phenomenon that could summon treasures. Weber and Alice Fil only felt a chill on their bodies.
——But what appeared to Gilgamesh tonight was not martial arts, but a series of wine utensils inlaid with dazzling gems. The heavy gold bottle was filled with colorless and clear liquid.
"Look, this is the 'King's Wine'."
"Oh, so touched."
Rider didn't mind Gilgamesh's tone and happily poured the new wine into three cups.
Saber is still quite wary of the unknown Archer. She looked at the wine in the golden bottle hesitantly, but still took the wine glass handed over.
"Oh, it's delicious!!"
Rider took a sip and immediately widened his eyes and praised. Now even Saber was aroused of curiosity. Originally, this was not a contest to see who was more decent, but a contest between wine.
When the wine flowed into her throat, Saber felt a strong sense of expansion in her mind. This was indeed a good wine she had never tasted before. It was strong and pure, mellow and refreshing, and a strong fragrance filled her nose, making her feel erratic.
"That's great. This is definitely not a human-made wine, it's a drink from God."
Looking at Rider who did not hesitate to praise, Gilgamesh smiled leisurely. At some point, he also sat down and handed Mo Huai a glass of wine with a smile on his face.
"Mo Huai, you are tired too, come and try the King's Bar - this is the King's taste."
"What are you doing, Gilgamesh."
The Poison Island Kazuko said loudly. The calmness began to be broken by the tense atmosphere.
"Mo Huai's sister Jiang, you seem to be too concerned about it."
Gilgamesh scoffed at the poisonous island boy who was full of gunpowder.
"Sister...Sister?"
"Okay, you two are so bored."
Hider smiled bitterly and signaled to the Poison Island Akako who wanted to say something, then turned his head to continue the previous topic.
"archer, your best wine can only be matched with the cup of treasure - but unfortunately, the Holy Grail is not used to serve wine. Now we are conducting a Holy Grail Q&A question and answer to consider whether each other is qualified for the Holy Grail. First of all, you have to tell us why you want the Holy Grail. Gilgamesh, you can find a way to convince us as the king to be qualified for the Holy Grail."
"I can't stand you. First of all, we are going to 'fight for' the Holy Grail. Your problem is far from this premise."
"Um?"
Jade Rider raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Gilgamesh sighed helplessly.
"It was originally supposed to be my belongings. All the treasures in the world originated from my collection, but because after a long time, it was lost from my treasure house, but its owner was still me."
"Then you mean, did you ever have the Holy Grail? Do you know what it is?"
"No."
Archer faintly denied Japanese der's questioning.
"This is not something you can understand. The total amount of my property even exceeds my own cognitive range, but as long as it is a 'treasure', it must belong to me, just like Mo Huai master, he is mine, it is very clear. If you want to seize my treasure, don't think about it in your life."
