Chapter 231 The Beginning of the Banquet
Faced with Zhao Chen who suddenly appeared and stole his lines, the King of Conquerors did not show any impatience and said generously: "Of course not, the banquet has not started yet!"
Although the King of Conquerors did not mind, Altria and Irisviel watched Zhao Chen and Mordred vigilantly.
Because when they just appeared, although there was a magic circle, the two could not feel any flow and breath of magic from it, as if the magic circle was just an ordinary decoration.
Of course, Altria would not think that this was Mordred's masterpiece. After all, it was her own bloodline. She knew very well that Mordred could not master such a simple and natural magic method.
Yes, simple and natural!
As people who grew up in a pure magic world like [Fate Zero], Altria and his wife would not think that this sudden method would not be in the category of magic.
As for magic, they are not so bold as to compare such a method with the magic named "miracle".
And the fact is that the magic circle is really just a decoration.
That was a small prop from the middle-level technological world [Fantasy Future Journey], called "Magic Array Disguise", a one-time decoration made based on the magic patterns circulated in ancient times, and the time of appearance and disappearance can be set.
And the means by which Zhao Chen brought Mordred to appear was nothing else, it was his teleportation authority as a shop owner, and the magic array was just his masterpiece of playfulness.
According to Zhao Chen's words, even if it was fake, it had to be fake, preferably almost the same as the real thing.
Regarding this matter, Altria didn't think much, because she was more concerned about the Conqueror King, so when she heard the emperor's answer, she was even more confused.
"Banquet?"
What banquet?
Why is there a banquet?
Why do you have to hold the banquet between you here?
? ? ?
A series of question marks filled Altria's heart, and even the silly hair on her head had a tendency to turn into question marks, which made her temporarily ignore the sudden appearance of Zhao Chen and the impatient Mordred behind him.
"That's right, it's a party! This time I'm not here to fight you, but to drink with you - hey, don't stand there, lead the way, is there a courtyard suitable for a party? This castle seems to be full of dust, it can't be used as a venue for a party."
""
Altria sighed helplessly, and the invisible long sword in her hand had been put away. Although it was the King of Conquerors who came first, she couldn't maintain her fighting spirit in the face of such an opponent who had no malice and desire to fight.
"Irisviel, what should we do?"
Although it is a relationship between the Master and the Servant, this territory still belongs to Einzbern after all. In the absence of Emiya Kiritsugu, it is better to let Irisviel decide.
Irisviel was also helpless. Although she was angry because the forest barrier was destroyed before, after seeing that smiling face, she couldn't hate him anyway.
But the sudden appearance of [Rider] and the sudden visit of [Berserker], and for this so-called "banquet", made Altria and Irisviel a little puzzled!
"Could it be that [Rider] wants to form an alliance with us, so he adopts a conciliatory policy towards [Saber]? But if so, then [Berserker] and the others will..."
Irisviel whispered her thoughts in Altria's ear, but at this time, Altria seemed to understand the emperor's thoughts and her face became serious.
"No, this is a challenge."
Irisviel was puzzled: "Challenge?"
"Yes, I am the king, and he is also the king. If we want to distinguish the superiority at the wine table, it is equivalent to a bloodless 'battle'!"
Altria said that as a king, she had some resonance with the emperor.
Perhaps because he heard Saber's words, the King of Conquerors also smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. According to the current situation, we can't fight with swords for the time being, so let's just use wine to decide the winner. Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, so be prepared."
"Interesting. I accept." Altria responded resolutely, exuding a fierce fighting spirit as if on the battlefield.
Until now, Irisviel realized that this was not a joke, but a real "battle".
Then, the King of Conquerors looked at Zhao Chen and Mordred standing aside, and said: "These two will also participate in our banquet. They are qualified!"
Hearing this, Altria looked deeply at Zhao Chen and Mordred, but she did not object. Being recognized by the King of Conquerors means that they are indeed qualified!
Seeing that his father did not object, although Mordred still looked impatient on the surface, he was slightly cheered in his heart.
This is the King's banquet. Since Arthur did not directly object, it means that she has slightly recognized my qualifications as the King!
Hehe, rounding off, I should be recognized by my father!
Through the connection between the Master and the Servant, Zhao Chen clearly felt the extremely strong psychological activities of his own Mozi, and became more and more certain of his previous thoughts.
The holy relics used to summon the Heroic Spirit will indeed have an impact on the Heroic Spirit!
After receiving the unanimous confirmation from the three parties, the banquet for the king was confirmed to be held.
The venue of the banquet was chosen to be the flower bed in the courtyard of Einzbern Castle, because the battle last night did not affect this place, and it would not look shabby to entertain guests.
As for the wine tables and chairs required for a general banquet, they were all unnecessary objects here, and the four people from the three parties sat on the ground.
[Saber] and [Rider] sat face to face, one occupied the north position, and the other sat in the south position to confront each other.
Zhao Chen and Mordred sat in the west position, and the empty east position was reserved for Gilgamesh who had not yet arrived.
Except for the four of them, no one else was qualified to participate in this banquet, so Irisviel and Waver were both standing aside, but one of them was behind Altria and the other was behind the emperor.
Although [Archer] Gilgamesh had not appeared yet, based on the current situation, the King of Conquerors obviously had no intention of waiting any longer.
He smashed the lid of the wine barrel with a slap, and the aroma of red wine, which could barely be called mellow, immediately filled the air in the courtyard.
"Although the shape is strange, this should be the unique wine vessel of this country. It should be used like this!"
The King of Conquerors took down the bamboo-handled spoon hanging from the side of the wine barrel, and then scooped a spoonful of wine from the barrel and put it to his mouth with great pride.
Zhao Chen did not react to this, because in his perception, the last person who should have arrived had already appeared.
At the moment when the bamboo-handled spoon in the hands of the King of Conquerors touched his lips, Gilgamesh's voice full of arrogance and disdain reached everyone's ears.
"This king has arrived, and you still don't want to see me, the real king, Zaxiu!"
