Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"Then why don't we take this opportunity to hold a Holy Grail quiz, how about that?"

When Artoria heard Iskandar say this, she felt as if the memories of the past were attacking her.

She remembered that last time, not only was she speechless, but she was also caught by the other party and her defense was broken on the spot. If it weren't for Baimao's sudden attack last time, she might have become the clown in the Holy Grail Quiz!

But if I were to do it again...

When Artoria realized that she already knew what Iskandar wanted to say, she regained her composure.

I am totally different this time than I was last time, King of Conquerors!

......

!

23. Altria even answered the question!

This Holy Grail Quiz is different from the Three Kings Meeting during the last Holy Grail War. This time there is no identity restriction and one does not have to be a king to participate, so the number of participants suddenly increased.

In this Holy Grail War, there are Assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces, Caster Medea, Saber Artoria, Lancer Cu Chulainn, and Rider Iskandar, the proposer of the Holy Grail Quiz.

Except for Archer and Berserker, all the remaining Servants in this Holy Grail War participated.

These servants, plus Roland and Aozaki Touko as their masters, as well as Bazette and the golden wolf Beo who were watching - Roland's house could not accommodate so many people.

Although his house is quite big for an old house, it is actually a bit crowded with Roland, Baimao, Medea and Altria. If it is cleaned up a bit, then one more person can move in without any problem. If the golden wolf Beo can be regarded as a dog at home, then it can be accommodated too.

But that’s about it.

If there are more people, even one bedroom per person will not be enough. Even if they are willing to live in the basement, they will have to compete with the golden wolf, the resident of the pet area.

As the crown puppeteer, Aozaki Touko is qualified to join the group of gods, and so is the golden wolf Beo, and of course Cu Chulainn and Iskandar as servants.

If we make the best-case scenario, then the group of gods may need four more people.

So it’s not just about this Holy Grail Quiz.

If there are four more people, there won’t be enough room in the house.

This asked Roland to clean up the ghost mansion where Bazett had lived before, also known as the Twin Mansion. The place was large enough to be used as the location for the Holy Grail Quiz. After the group of gods expanded to nine people, it would be just right to use it as a second base for the extra members of the group of gods to live here.

Of course, this is also temporary.

After all, the Ghost Mansion did not belong to Roland, and he didn't even know who the owner of the mansion was. It would be too much to take it for himself.

So Roland planned to gather people after the Holy Grail Quiz was over, find a place that already had an owner, and then rob it!

Take Einzbern Castle for example, that place is big enough, it’s just right to snatch it!

Roland was thinking about these things as he helped Bai Mao set up a huge round table in the lobby of the Ghost Mansion and then sat next to the table.

He and Bai Mao were the ones who cleaned up the round table, so they were the first to arrive. After a while, everyone else came over, and the fairly large round table was filled with people sitting around it.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Iskandar was the one who proposed the Holy Grail Quiz, so he took the initiative to speak now.

“I don’t know what you want to discuss with us, but as a start, let me ask you a question. Almost everyone present is a participant or a person related to the Holy Grail War. So what kind of wish would you like to make for the Holy Grail?”

Iskandar was the one who asked the question, but he did not intend to wait for others to respond. Instead, he was the first person to answer the question.

"Let me talk about myself first."

"Let me start with my real name. My real name is Iskandar, and I am the Rider of this Holy Grail War."

"My wish for the Holy Grail is that it will give me a body that can exist forever and truly survive - after all, the body is the basis of conquest. After I have a second life, I can continue my conquest and my expedition!"

Iskandar was observing the expressions of others as he said this.

Although it is a question and answer, it is also a battle of language and ideas. If someone reveals some flaws after listening to his words, then don't blame him for seizing the flaws and pursuing the victory.

Destroying the beliefs of others and validating the beliefs of others is all part of conquering.

When others heard Iskandar directly say his real name, they were somewhat surprised, but that was all.

Iskandar didn't find the flaw he wanted.

In fact, if she didn't know him at all, then Artoria might have fallen into his trap - after all, the environment Artoria lived in was too harsh. During her lifetime, she had been fighting against the inevitable destruction of Britain, and then faced inevitable failure. So she might not be able to imagine that among the famous kings in history there would be guys like Iskandar and Gilgamesh.

But that's different now.

It's already the second week of Altria.

She already knew what Iskandar was going to say, so she just listened with a calm expression.

After Iskandar started, Cu Chulainn followed.

"To be honest, I have nothing to say. My real name has been recognized. I am Lancer, Cu Chulainn. My wish does not need the Holy Grail to be fulfilled. I just want to fight. I responded to the Holy Grail only because I think there may be some good opponents among the participants of the Holy Grail War. I came here purely for the purpose of fighting~"

The smile on Cu Chulainn's face was refreshing.

His wishes were also very refreshing.

It was so refreshing that others didn't even know how to comment on it.

Because Cu Chulainn... he didn't need the Holy Grail at all.

The third is Medea.

"Well, although I know that it is your conspiracy to start first and then directly reveal your real name after you have almost used all your treasures, but we also have our own plans, so let's do it this way."

"I am Caster, Medea."

"If it's a Holy Grail quiz, you don't have to consider me."

Medea glanced at Roland as she said this, and then she slowly laughed.

"Because my wish has been fulfilled."

Compared to Cu Chulainn, Medea's words made Iskandar and Aozaki Touko think for a moment.

Already achieved?

What does it mean?

While the two of them were wondering, Bai Mao folded his hands, leaned back in his chair, and spoke clearly and concisely.

"We are Assassin, Hassan the Hundred Faces."

"Just like Cu Chulainn and Medea, our wish probably won't be the key to this Holy Grail quiz. There's nothing to discuss. Even if I tell you, you probably won't understand."

"We just want to be recorded in history as a hero. This is the basis for you, and it is even a wish for us. You cannot understand us, and we do not need you to understand us. That's it."

After Baimao finished speaking, Roland and Aozaki Touko looked at the last servant present, Altria.

Roland knew that the last time Artoria expressed her wish, it was immediately denied by Iskandar. This time, Artoria seemed quite confident. Thinking that Artoria still had memories of the last Holy Grail War, Roland was a little curious about what she would say this time.

Then Altria spoke directly.

"I am Saber, King Arthur—Altria Pendragon."

"I plan to let the Holy Grail give Britain a chance. I will go back to the time of the king selection and choose a king who is better than me. I will let him lead Britain to complete what I have not done."

Unlike the last time when Altria was evasive in her words, this time she was very direct in her words.

At the same time, Iskandar also looked over.

"Wait, if I heard you correctly, do you want to..."

Before Iskandar could finish his words, he was interrupted by Altria.

"Yes, you heard me right. I intend to deny my past and my history. If paying this price can give Britain a glimmer of hope, then as the King of Britain, I will regard this as my final order to Britain!"

Hearing what Altria said, Iskandar didn't get angry about being interrupted. He just frowned and spoke again.

"You think that as a hero you..."

This time he was halfway through his words before Altria started answering.

"No, I don't have this wish because I feel that everything I do is wrong. I have this wish because I feel that everything I do is right!"

"Britain is bound to perish. This is what I was told when I became king, but I didn't believe it was inevitable. So I tried my best, but didn't see any chance. So in order to prove that everything I did was meaningful, I must seize every possible opportunity to give Britain a chance to turn around!"

"What I and the knights who followed me have been fighting for is definitely not the fate that others say is trivial!"

"Britain will prove that so-called destiny is wrong!"

After saying this, Altria continued to stare at Iskandar.

Before it all started, or rather when Iskandar asked the Holy Grail quiz, Altria had already begun to conceive of her answer!

So the Altria in the second round is different from the last time.

She even expected Iskandar to continue questioning.

The Knights will never fall in the same place twice!

In addition to this, Artoria also wanted to take this opportunity to say what she did not say during the last meeting of the three kings.

Because she is different from last time.

Being a clown once is enough.

These words were spoken to Iskandar, but also to herself.

Now she is no longer confused. After saying all these words, Altria made a final decision and became completely determined - this is her wish, this is her way of kingship!

So--

I am no longer confused. Did you hear me clearly, King of Conquerors?

......

!

24. Those things in the past

Iskandar had many plans when he proposed the Holy Grail Question.

Just as Medea said, after using all her own Noble Phantasms, she planned to reveal her true name and plot against the true names of other servants.

There is also the idea of ​​first using debate to probe the beliefs and plans of other servants, and then gain some intelligence from them, or even take some action.

Just like in the FGO game, in his own personal space voice, he expressed this point in his evaluation of Altria.

Iskandar just looks rough, but in fact he is a guy who is rough but delicate in every aspect.

But the ones before Altria didn't work.

Cu Chulainn's wish represents that he doesn't care about anything. He doesn't have those messy thoughts at all. He just comes to enjoy the battle. His goal is to kill others if he doesn't get killed by others. He is a typical and pure warrior, and he is extremely firm. He will not tolerate others interrupting him.

Medea's situation puzzled Iskandar.

He still doesn't understand what it means to have his wish fulfilled.

As for Hassan the Hundred Faces... her situation has nothing to do with her wishes. She is too determined. Facing such a guy, no matter what her wishes are, Iskandar will not bother to give an evaluation.

So the only person who seems to have a chance is Altria...

Iskandar originally thought that such a wish of Altria might make her a little confused and she would seize the opportunity to say something, but now he didn't know why, he felt that the other party was like a student waiting for the teacher to give her questions... and she was the kind of student who had done her homework in advance. It seemed that she already knew what questions he was going to ask!

She even kept answering the questions!

She didn't even plan to pretend!

This made Iskandar a little confused.

At the same time, he didn't intend to continue talking about this point.

Because he has fully realized that Artoria and Hassan the Hundred Faces are probably the same, so after Artoria has said everything she wanted to say, the topic can be ended.

And if the other party can be so determined...even if he wants to do something stupid, Iskandar will respect his stupidity.

"I see. Then I recognize you. Let's end this topic. It's time for the next person."

Seeing Iskandar's expression, Altria nodded. She had said almost everything she needed to say, so let it be.

After saying these words, Altria felt that her thoughts became much smoother, so she returned to her original serious and calm state.

Then everyone's eyes were focused on Roland and Aozaki Touko.

After all, even though Bazette and Golden Wolf were there, everyone basically agreed that they were there to sit in.

Among them, Bazett is no longer the master, and as for the golden wolf... this guy originally came here as a servant of Aozaki Touko, and I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after being beaten by Altria, it seems to have become a little silly in front of Altria. It seems that its brain has begun to degenerate, and it can’t think about such complicated problems at all.
