Chapter 111 The King’s Banquet ()

Jianchen Matou had been looking forward to this banquet for a long time.

Therefore, the choice of banquet venue is particularly important.

He had no intention of changing it. In his opinion, the banquet venue in the original book was great, and now that he was there, he really felt great.

The place chosen for the banquet was the garden in the castle's courtyard.

The madman Bluebeard summoned a monster whose name was unknown, which directly destroyed the forest outside the castle, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Fortunately, the environment inside the castle was not greatly affected.

Apart from some "minor" damage to the interior of the castle caused by the battle between Kenneth and Emiya Kiritsugu, the rest of the castle is mostly intact.

It was early winter, and because we were in the castle's courtyard garden, we felt cold as soon as the breeze blew.

This is also the biggest disadvantage of this place as a banquet venue.

However, this shortcoming seems insignificant when overshadowed by its advantages.

The open ground, because of the silvery moonlight, shines a different light from that in the daytime, mysterious and elegant.

There are unknown blue flowers everywhere. I wonder if it is magic that the flowers here are absorbing the moonlight?

Jianchen Matou looked around and couldn't help but feel surprised.

Should we say that it is worthy of being called Einzbern?

Compared to the old monster Matou Zouken of the Matou family, there is no old thing alive in the family. Instead, the Einzbern family is inherited normally, and is worthy of the title of the three major families in Fuyuki City. Just a small garden shows the heritage of a magician family.

Jianchen Jianchen looked at it with great envy.

The power of inheritance is so powerful that it is hard to imagine for those who have not experienced it.

The Matou family should have also inherited something, but...

All of that was cut off by Matou Zouken.

The severance is not complete, at least there is still a room full of knowledge left, waiting for Jianchen Jianchen to discover.

Judging from the fact that the book contains information about butterfly magic, the old man did not keep anything to himself, but really put all he had learned throughout his life into a secret room.

If time permits, considering Kenshin Matou's talent that even moved Kenneth and was willing to take the risk to accept him as his disciple during such a special period as the Holy Grail War, it is almost inevitable that Kenshin Matou will restore the glory of the Matou family in the city of Fuyuki.

It’s a pity that “I was born at the wrong time”.

If Kenshin Matou came to this world when the Fourth Holy Grail War was over and Zouken Matou also died in the Holy Grail War for special reasons, he would have plenty of time to concentrate on studying magic.

It can almost be said with certainty that he can accomplish a decisive victory in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

But there is no "if" in reality, and Kenshin Matou does not have time to realize his magical talent.

Without a growing genius, one is nothing.

"boom!"

While Kenshin Matou was thinking, Iskandar had already brought Saber and Mrs. Irisviel to sit next to him.

Looking at the wine that had almost been drunk by Jianchen Jiantong and Uncle Liu.

Iskandar did not show any reluctance at all. Instead, he smiled and waved his fist!
Of course, this fist was not used to hit people, but to hit the oak barrel.

The oak barrel that contained dusty wine was roughly opened. Iskandar took out the wine spoon, took a sip, and showed a satisfied look.

"It is said that the Holy Grail is destined to be obtained by the most suitable person, and the battle in Fuyuki was a ceremony to select such a person. However, if it is just a selection, there is no need for bloodshed."

"As long as the heroes can understand each other's level, they will naturally find the answer."

In front of the two kings, Iskandar, who was also a king, expressed his own views.

He felt that this bloodless way of handling the situation was superior.

After saying this, he looked at Uncle Liu and Jianchen Jianchen with some complacency, hoping to hear their comments.

But as if they had discussed it beforehand, the two people being watched just drank their wine calmly, as if they could not feel Iskandar's gaze.

Iskandar was not embarrassed.

Eating alone is certainly not the character of a king like him, so he handed the wine spoon in his hand to Saber and invited her to drink with him.

Saber has been frozen in the petite body of fifteen years old since she picked up the Sword in the Stone, which makes people wonder whether she is really suitable for participating in adult banquets. After all, it is still very guilty for children to drink alcohol.

Saber took the wine spoon handed over by Iskandar without hesitation and was about to put the spoon into the wine barrel, but was stopped by a white and tender little hand.

Saber frowned: "Do you look down on me? Caster's Master."

Because of her figure, Saber has suffered a lot of discrimination, so she is particularly sensitive in this regard.

Even Iskandar, who seemed to have always been an accomplice of Kenshin Matou, did not choose to stand on his side this time.

"Boy, don't underestimate the generosity of the king, even if Saber looks like a little girl who has not grown up."

The dissatisfaction of the two kings did not cause Jianchen Jiantou to panic at all.

He first smiled friendly towards Saber before turning to face Iskandar.

"Don't get me wrong, King of Conquerors. At least for now, before Saber tells us her long-cherished wish, the people present include Emiya Kiritsugu, who has been hiding in the dark and watching us through the sniper scope, and Mrs. Irisviel, who has been Saber's fake Master for a few days." Matou Kenshin looked around at everyone present:

"All of you put together don't understand Saber as well as I do."

"Of course, I don't mean to look down on Saber at all."

"It's just..." Speaking of this, Jianchen Matou was a little shy: "Although it's a bit embarrassing, I now have the same thoughts as Gilgamesh, that is - I don't want my treasure to be stained with unnecessary colors."

Irisviel: “…”

Iskandar: “…”

Saber: “…”

Although the three were intelligent, they lacked normal life experience and failed to understand Jianchen Matou's meaning at the first time.

Weber, who had been sitting alone in a corner since the banquet began, felt a little depressed.

"You, you..." He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Oh?" Iskandar showed a curious look, "Boy, it seems that you understand what Master Caster means? How about telling us about it?"

Iskandar said this as he pulled Weber down and let him fall on his thighs.

"He He……"

As if he was too shocked, Weber took a long time to calm down before explaining:
"He actually developed feelings for the Heroic Spirit. The reason I stopped you was just because I didn't want Saber to kiss you indirectly. Of course, I also think it's unhygienic for each of you to drink with a wine spoon and put the drink directly into the wine barrel..."

No one cared about what Weber said next.

"Hahahahahaha~"

Iskandar laughed heartily, happy with the current situation.

Irisviel first glanced at Saber's face, and then couldn't help but reveal a gossipy expression.

Although she is an artificial human, gossip is human nature, and artificial humans are also human beings!
Saber, who was at the center of public opinion, had a cold face and it was impossible to tell his expression.

"Is what Iskandar's Master said true? Caster's Master?"

The Knight King, who was sitting upright, asked in a serious tone.

Jian Tong Jianchen nodded honestly, without any intention of denying: "It's true, that's what I think in my heart."

After answering Saber's question, Kenshin Matou stared at Saber. He was very interested in Saber's next reaction.

After all, I should be the first person to confess to Saber, right?
He was a little uncertain. Although his memories of his previous life were not disordered, he didn't know much about Saber. In his memory, the other party seemed to have a princess, a woman named Wei'er, who was eventually abducted by Lancelot.

In other words, in this world, the famous King Arthur is actually a failure in love?
Jianchen Matou was a little distracted.

At this time,

A voice suddenly sounded, breaking his thoughts and making Saber swallow back the words she had just spoken.

"Hahahahahaha~"

It was a completely different laugh from Iskandar’s.

This may seem like nonsense, but it is not.

If one could describe Iskandar’s laughter, it would be heroic, something that makes people feel good about it and want to drink with it.

So, the laughter that now echoes in the garden is arrogant, contemptuous, and makes people feel so disgusted that they want to punch it in the face.

"You are really funny, the best bastard I have ever seen in this world."

Golden light and footsteps appeared at the same time. Gilgamesh transformed from a spirit into a physical body. His golden boots stepped on the ground, making a sound that made people's heart tighten.

Waver and Mrs. Irisviel’s bodies also straightened up.

After all, although both of them are magicians, in front of Gilgamesh's huge aura, how are they different from ordinary people?
"Gilgamesh, why are you here?"

Saber was a little surprised, but did not draw her sword. After all, given the current atmosphere, the other party might not attack.

"Well..." Jian Tong Jianchen, who was the center of discussion before, said, "I invited this guy. Although he will ruin the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, but a banquet, those who understand will know that if there is no clown to make fun of, wouldn't it be too boring?"

"Humph~"

Gilgamesh sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes sweeping over the backs of Uncle Liu and Jianchen Matou.

Despite the mocking behavior of Jianchen Matou, he still had a smile on his face.

"You are such a good bastard. Although I feel sorry for killing you, it is precisely because of your constant desire to die that I feel happy."

"Oh?"

Iskandar was a little shocked.

After all, Gilgamesh's identity had already been fully revealed from the mouth of Swordsman Matou.

However, this king did not behave as his character should have, and chose to remain indifferent in the face of Jianchen Matou's ridicule.

This made Iskandar incomprehensible, and also caused Mrs. Irisviel and Waver beside him to look at him curiously.
