Davidian's Holy Grail War

However, Fou, who was on David's shoulder, suddenly sharpened his eyes. He leaped off David's shoulder and headbutted Merlin with all his might, knocking Merlin to the ground.

The two sides actually engaged in a fierce battle right here, evenly matched. Namo... what an intense battle!

However, Davidian had no intention of interfering with the fight between the man and the beast. He said to the Chaldea group, "This is the real Merlin. I vouch for it as Lord Camelot."

With David's guarantee, Dr. Roman could only pout and sit back down in his seat. Ugh, how annoying! Merlin's right there; I really want to go over there and smash his head in.

"Eh, Mr. Davidan is talking about the Holy Capital? Does Mr. Davidan know about the Sixth Singularity? But weren't you the Servant summoned by King Gilgamesh here?"

Mashu suddenly noticed the blind spot. Did Davidan know everything that had happened in the holy city of Camelot?

“Just call me Davidian, Mashu,” Davidian first gestured for her to be polite, then explained.

"It's my own special skill, and I also have the Lion King's help. She sent me, the Sixth Singularity, as spiritual information to the Throne of Heroes and integrated me with my original body."

And since I'm here, I've directly accessed that intelligence, so you can treat me like an acquaintance.

Although it was a bit convoluted, Mashu and Ritsuka immediately understood that Davian was very aware of what they had experienced before.

The man before them, David, was absolutely trustworthy and an adult they could rely on.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Gilgamesh first. Let's see how he plans to deal with you. By the way, how come you're with that fake Enkidu? What's going on?"

David led the group towards Uruk, leaving Gilgamesh to make arrangements for them. After all, as far as David was concerned, he didn't know what to assign these Chaldea people to do.

He couldn't very well tell them to go and kill the three goddesses, could he? David felt he was really not a proper adult, a disgrace to the profession.

Ritsuka and Mash recounted everything Enkidu had told them before, while David listened and offered his own comments.

What nonsense about the North Wall basically collapsing in a month? To hell with that utter rubbish! Unless that monster goddess, who hasn't even appeared yet, intervenes, no matter how many monsters come, they won't be enough for him to cut down.

When he arrived in Uruk, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately stood up straight and greeted him.

David smiled and nodded to them, then said, "These are our companions. I will vouch for their entry into the city. I will also introduce them to Siduri later."

"Yes! Please come in, Lord David." The guard at the gate immediately stepped aside to let David into the city, but then he saw Anna wearing a black hood and called out to her with a smile.

Just when everyone thought something was wrong, the soldier smiled and took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to Anna.

"You're so young, it's so brave of you to have made it all the way here. This is what I had left over from lunch, but would you like to take it? This is candy my daughter gave me as a lunch snack."

Anna immediately tensed up, her words becoming hesitant. The soldier, noticing her embarrassment, smiled and reassured her:

"If you can accept it, it will be a great help to me. Because it's too sweet for me."

"If Anna doesn't accept it, then I'll take it." Ritsuka gave a sly smile, providing a timely assist.

Just as Mashu was about to say something to him, Anna immediately panicked and accepted the candy.

David watched the whole thing unfold, then smiled and pointed a finger at Ritsuka. Ritsuka scratched her head sheepishly. His little scheme was no surprise to David.

As they passed through the city gate, Mash couldn't help but ask, "The people here really respect the Lord."

Davidian remained silent, but Merlin spoke for him: "You're right, Mash. Because Davidian is the commander-in-chief of the North Wall Guard and currently their greatest fighting force."

He not only blocked the fake Enkidu, but also the monster horde from the North Wall with all his might.

"That fake Enkidu showed you all, right? He showed you how the First Legion soldiers stationed at the North Wall slaughtered the surging horde of monsters."

Ritsuka and Mashu began to recall the situation: no matter how powerful the magical beasts were, they were all slain instantly. Even Bashumu, which resembled a giant dragon, was riddled with arrows and finally fell to the ground. The defenses of the North Wall were so strong that a horde of magical beasts could not break through them.

Upon entering Uruk, the Chaldean group couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment. Dr. Roman was especially surprised, as he had already scanned the entire plan for Uruk.

This doesn't look like a village from before Christ at all; the entire city has been replanned. The function of each area is clearly defined, and everyone is living their lives with enthusiasm and energy. It doesn't look like a place on the verge of collapse at all.

"Hahaha! You must be quite surprised, Romani, this is all thanks to King Gilgamesh."

You must understand that our arrival was only possible after the complete forging of the North Wall; before that, it was these enthusiastic and hardworking citizens of Uruk who had been supporting us.”

Merlin jokingly teased Roman, who readily admitted it was his fault; he had underestimated Uruk. Now, seeing him in this state, he felt a deep respect for everything here.

The shouts and chatter of the people coming and going further aroused Mash and Ritsuka's curiosity, but Davidian still led them to the tower where Gilgamesh was located.

The most important thing right now is to get them to meet Gilgamesh as soon as possible and determine their next move.

People along the way greeted David and Merlin warmly, except the women avoided Merlin.

Mashu and Ritsuka could both tell that the women along the way preferred David, and treated Merlin as if he were a troublesome thing.

When they saw King Gilgamesh busily handling various affairs, even the Chaldea group didn't know if it was the right time to disturb the king who was so busy.

I always felt that they came at the wrong time, and that they couldn't really fit into the current situation.

"He seems different from what was rumored... I feel he should be more... In short, he should be a very excessive king."

Anna, who had been quiet and reserved until now, couldn't help but say this. No... this is completely different from the impression they had before they came here, okay?

"It feels like there's absolutely no room for us to interrupt..." Mashu also felt that the current atmosphere wasn't the right time for them to speak, and that interrupting would probably get them yelled at.

"But I still need to muster up the courage to explain the situation to him." Ritsuka looked troubled, but what was the point of coming here if she wasn't going to say anything?

Just as they were feeling troubled, Merlin grabbed Ritsuka's hand and said with a grin, "That's right! We can't be too observant of that king's feelings, after all, he won't consider our moods."

Even if it's a little rude, it doesn't matter; you should just say what you want to say.

Alright, in conclusion—King Gilgamesh! The magician Merlin and the swordsman Davian have brought their guests!

Chapter 232 The King's Antics

Ritsuka was dragged over by Merlin completely unwillingly, while David watched this scene with a helpless smile. Oh well, he'd deal with it himself if anything went wrong later.

"You're back safe and sound, Magician Merlin. Thank you for your hard work, and I'm very pleased. And what about the results? Did you bring back the Tablet of Destiny?"

Siduri spoke first, even though Gilgamesh was looking at Merlin with the utter contempt of someone looking at an idiot.

In short, Gilgamesh's expression had nothing to do with happiness; who could be happy in the current situation?

"No, we found nothing there either. That thing isn't in the cedar forest on the west side. Honestly, if you remembered exactly where you put it, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."

Merlin continued talking while dragging Ritsuka forward until they reached a suitable distance before stopping.

【The Destiny Tablet? What's that?】 David was completely baffled. These two must be secretly preparing some strange thing again, but he couldn't even complain about them.

Oh well, we'll find out what that thing is eventually anyway.

Hearing Merlin's words, and wanting to save Gilgamesh's face, Siduri changed her tune, saying, "That's disrespectful. Shut up immediately. The king was tired when he was writing the clay tablets."

"I lost my memory due to extreme fatigue... I've never heard of such a thing before, but since the King said so, it must be true. You just need to obey orders and explore diligently."

No, no, no, Siduri, this guy didn't just suddenly lose his memory; he simply had too many things on his mind and couldn't remember where he put that Destiny Tablet. As for extreme fatigue…

Look at Gilgamesh's eye bags! How long has it been since he had a proper night's sleep?

Davidian mentally ranted, lamenting his own uncanny affinity for this kind of arduous life. In his previous life, he was Agravure; now he was Gilgamesh. He seemed to see this kind of life of toil everywhere he went…

Oh right, and there's Dr. Roman from Chaldea. He sounds incredibly weak, like he's about to collapse from the inside out. I need to remind him to rest when I have a spare moment, so he doesn't really ruin his health.

"Compared to the matter of the Destiny Tablet... who are these people? They don't look like citizens of Uruk at all." Siduri looked at the others again; their attire didn't seem to belong to modern times.

Gilgamesh stood up and dismissed Siduri. The seal of divine authority was now in his hand. He looked at the group of people before him with an imposing air and said, "No need to explain. I already know the general situation."

“The seal of divine authority, Your Majesty, could it be that you intend to…” Siduri immediately retreated; this was the prelude to a major fight.

"Just as you guessed! I'm going to defile this throne a little! It's no big deal, at most I'll just send these two foreign guests back to heaven! I'm very busy!"

"You wouldn't even spare the time to understand those who wish to speak with me! So I'll have to prove my innocence through battle! Prepare yourself, magician of the observatory!"

He then glanced at David and Merlin, who immediately and tactfully withdrew.

It's okay, they'll step in when it really comes to it.

"Anna, go help them. I'm sorry, but you're the only one left who can help now."

Merlin patted Anna on the shoulder, signaling her to join the battle. Anna could only sigh helplessly and join the fight; it was the only option given the current situation.

"You're making me fight extra battles again. Merlin, you're going to die sooner or later." Anna still said this before the fight started.

Even though we fought, I was still unhappy.

Ritsuka could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, Anna. Let's defeat Merlin together later."

"It's alright, it's not your fault. Okay, let's all come at her together." Anna said, taking out her scythe. This was the first time Davidan had seen this little girl fight, and it was a good opportunity to see her skills.

The girl Merlin told him before he left—the nemesis of the Northern Beast Goddess—must be this little girl.

David watched the rest of the battle from the sidelines, and in his eyes, Mash and Ritsuka's performance was quite good.

Galahad's spirit origin was truly not wasted; Ritsuka's level as a Master is quite high.

I'm definitely not as good as him. What would I do as Master? I would just charge in with the Evil King Dragon and Phoenix.

It's true that even ordinary Servants can't defeat this combination.

The battle ended with Gilgamesh withdrawing, and he plopped back down on his perfectly positioned throne.

Ritsuka and Mash could both tell that Gilgamesh's mood wasn't pleasant even after such a battle; rather, it was somewhat helpless.

"Utterly boring! I stood up and played with you for a while because I thought that someone with a destiny must have some ability. But it turns out you're just a bunch of bastards!"

"You are neither worthy of my assistance nor of my use! Even pursuing the charge of defiling the throne would be too much trouble! I'll let you off this time; you can start over!"

This condescending attitude left Ritsuka and her group unsure how to react, and Anna, in particular, gripped her scythe tightly, seemingly itching to try it out.

She was so angry she wanted to go up and chop this guy's neck off. Although Gilgamesh had indeed gone easy on them in the fight, it didn't make sense to say that about them!

If you're clearly having a lot of fun, why are you pretending to be unhappy?
