Inside the grand hall, a majestic and handsome blond man was constantly handling events and issuing decisive orders. Beside his throne, the clay tablets used to record the situation had piled up into a small mountain.
That was King Gilgamesh.
"He is indeed a wise and virtuous king, just as I had imagined."
Seeing the bustling activity in the hall, Mashu whispered to Gudao:
"It seems like there's absolutely no way to get a word in edgewise."
Gudao clenched his fists, somewhat nervously saying:
"However, you have to muster up the courage to start a conversation."
“That’s right, trying to read between the lines with that king won’t work.”
Upon hearing this, Merlin, who was standing nearby, laughed, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him into the hall, saying loudly:
"King Gilgamesh, the magician Merlin has brought back guests!"
"You're busy? I can tell at a glance, so don't worry about it, I'll bring them to you right now!"
"Mei, Merlin?!"
Although Gudao had already decided to strike up a conversation, he didn't expect it to be like this. The moment he was dragged to the center of the hall, everyone's eyes were on him, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
At the same time, Gilgamesh on the throne finally took his gaze off the clay tablet in his hand and began to look at the Chaldea group in front of him with a blank expression. When his gaze finally landed on Fujimaru Ritsuka, he paused for a moment.
At this moment, a woman dressed in Uruk-style clothing and wearing a semi-transparent veil respectfully addressed Merlin from below the throne:
"You're back, Magician Merlin. Thank you for your hard work, and I'm very happy."
"So, what were the results? Did you bring back the Destiny Tablet?"
"No, we came up empty-handed over there too."
Merlin said helplessly:
"Really, if Your Majesty remembered where you put the clay tablet, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."
"That's very disrespectful. Please shut up."
The Way of Women:
"The king was exhausted when he was writing the clay tablets. He lost his memory due to extreme fatigue... Although I have never heard of such a thing, since the king said so, it must be true."
"All you need to do is obey orders and explore carefully."
After saying this, she looked at the Chaldea group and asked with some doubt:
"Also, who are these people...? They don't look like residents of Uruk at all?"
Gilgamesh suddenly spoke:
"No need to say anything more, I already know the situation. You may leave, Siduri."
"The royal seal? Could it be...?"
"That's the question. I'm about to slightly defile this throne."
Seeing this, the woman, or rather Siduri, sighed helplessly and stepped aside.
Gilgamesh stood up, took a stone book from the Gate of Babylon, and looked down at the Chaldean group below the throne, saying:
"I am very busy right now and do not have time to talk with you to understand the situation, so I intend to directly distinguish your true and false through battle."
"Get ready, magicians of the observatory!"
Come spicy!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 414 Come on, let's hurt each other!
"fighting?"
Despite the suddenness of the battle, Gudao and the others were already used to such scenes. But then, Gilgamesh said:
"Merlin, you better not lay a hand on me! Get lost!"
"And that little girl over there, hiding her face, too!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and finally turned their attention to Anna... and Fujimaru Ritsuka beside her.
"...You little coward, are you talking about me?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka hesitated and pointed to herself, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's eyes flashed slightly, then he gestured for them to leave, saying impatiently:
"Otherwise what? Don't waste my time, get out of my way!"
"Uh, okay then."
Although somewhat confused, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only nod apologetically to Gudao and the others, and obediently step aside to watch the battle.
At this moment, the way everyone looked at her became subtle.
Merlin was a Servant summoned by Gilgamesh, so it's normal not to let him help. But why is Gudako forbidden from participating in the battle?
Could it be that King Gilgamesh knows Lady Gudako?
"Great, it would be too much trouble for me to resort to violence."
On the other side, Merlin also smiled and retreated to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, then said to Anna on the field:
"And Anna, although I'm sorry, let's help them one more time!"
Anna sighed deeply and said:
"...You're making people fight battles outside of the contract again. Merlin, you might as well just die."
Despite saying that, Anna still summoned her weapon, a scythe, and assumed a fighting stance.
Seeing this, Gudao could only quickly adjust his state and said to Mash:
"Please, Mashu!"
"Yes!"
Thus, a battle broke out between the two sides and quickly became one-sided.
Gilgamesh completely overwhelmed Mash and Anna.
Although Gilgamesh was still a living human at this point in time, as a half-god and half-human, the "Wedge of Heaven" on whom the gods placed their hopes, and a great hero who possessed all the treasures of the world, he was not someone that ordinary Servants could contend with.
After easily defeating Mash and Anna once again, Gilgamesh sheathed his weapon, sat back on his throne, and looked down at the crowd with displeasure, saying:
"Boring as hell."
"I only played along with you for a while because I thought you were destined for greatness, but you're just a bunch of bastards!"
"Even investigating your crimes of defiling the throne is too much trouble; you might as well just go back to the furnace and start over!"
Faced with Gilgamesh's anger and stern accusations, Gudao and the others were speechless.
At this moment, Siduri stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down... In my eyes, they are all warriors with astonishing strength."
"Are they the strangers Wang Zeng mentioned?"
Gilgamesh said irritably:
"Since Merlin brought it back, it shouldn't be wrong. But look at that kid's dazed expression, it's really outrageous!"
At this moment, Gudao couldn't help but step forward and say:
"My king, please at least listen to me..."
"There's no need!"
Gilgamesh interrupted him, saying:
"Remember, since I am capable of accomplishing all things, I am naturally omniscient. I even know everything about your Chaldea."
"If that's the case, then you should be even clearer that if the Holy Grail of this era isn't retrieved, humanity will..."
"The Holy Grail, are you referring to this?"
Gilgamesh's mocking tone rang out, accompanied by golden spatial fluctuations, and a golden Holy Grail appeared in his hand. Gudao and the others stared dumbfounded at the Holy Grail in his hand, speechless with shock.
Mashu said in disbelief:
"The Holy Grail?! But... why is it in your hands?"
"Of course."
Gilgamesh said matter-of-factly:
"All the treasures in this world belong to me, and the Holy Grail is no exception. I suppose the Three Goddesses Alliance came for this reason as well, otherwise there would be no reason for them to attack Uruk."
"Also, even if it was a slip of the tongue, don't say things like 'we hope you will hand over the Holy Grail to us,' okay?"
"I have no reason to entrust my treasure to the likes of you. If you insist on talking, then it won't be a matter of beheading alone."
Mashu hesitated for a moment:
"Indeed, even if we wanted to negotiate, we have no bargaining chips..."
Just then, Gudao seemed to have thought of something and was about to speak.
However, before that, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand and spoke first:
"However, the Holy Grail in the King's hand is not the Holy Grail that Chaldea wants to reclaim."
“…Eh?” ×n
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned and somewhat bewildered.
"It's easy to understand with just a little thought."
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"The Holy Grail in the king's hand is the same Holy Grail that originally existed within the Gate of Babylon."
"The Holy Grail that Chaldea wants to reclaim is the one that the Magic King released into this era to disrupt human order and create this singularity."
