FATE: Target of Grand Master

"I am already aware of the situation. Well done, gentlemen."

Gilgamesh sat on his throne and, quite unusually, frankly praised his four Masters below him, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"As a king, I naturally reward those who have rendered meritorious service. Siduli, tonight I will hold a victory celebration banquet."

"As you instructed, I have already made the arrangements."

Siduri's secretarial function remains at the EX level.

"Very good. I also have an extra reward for you. Speak, whether it is gold and silver treasures, handsome men and beautiful women, as long as it is available in my Uruk, you can ask for it. Of course, if you want people, you must respect their wishes. My Uruk does not practice forced buying and selling."

Xia Yan and the other three looked at each other, but none of them spoke, which made Gilgamesh feel slightly displeased.

"What? You don't actually think I can't give you what you want?"

Xia Yan and the other three hadn't thought that way; they were just caught off guard when Gilgamesh suddenly asked them to name the reward they wanted.

Seeing that the four had not responded for a long time, Gilgamesh said impatiently, "Why are you all so long-winded? Hurry up and speak, my time is very precious."

Lan Muyan, who was usually relatively quiet, spoke first.

"My lord, may I have your Holy Grail?"

"Oh?"

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that the first thing he asked for was the Uruk Cup.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds."

Clearly, Lan Muyan misinterpreted Gilgamesh's reaction as anger.

"Hahaha. I said, anything that Uruk has, I will give. A mere Uruk cup, I'm not so stingy as to not even give a drinking cup."

Gilgamesh laughed loudly, then took the Uruk Cup from the Royal Treasury and tossed it to Lan Muyan.

As Lan Muyan hurriedly caught the Uruk cup, he felt the surprised and disdainful gazes of the three people around him.

"Idiot, have you forgotten that Gilgamesh gave this cup to Kingu after Rahim ripped out his heart? If you take this, how will Gilgamesh save Kingu later? Kingu also contributed in the final battle. If you do this, the rhythm of the rest of the battle will be messed up."

Feng Yan reprimanded him mercilessly.

"I completely forgot, and I just said it casually; I didn't expect Gilgamesh to actually agree. So what do we do now? Give it back to Gilgamesh?"

Lan Muyan knew he had unintentionally caused a lot of trouble and wanted to make amends.

"It's still impossible to return it. Gilgamesh's pride won't allow something he gave away to be returned. At this point, we can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, you'll stay by Gilgamesh's side when he saves Kingu, and we'll see how things go."

Xia Yan sighed, resigned to letting things take their course.

"Hey, what are you all whispering about? Is my cup really that beautiful?"

Gilgamesh did not see the joy of receiving the reward on the faces of the four men. Instead, he saw their sorrow and assumed that they were dissatisfied with what he had given them. So he made a sarcastic remark.

Xia Yan and the other three quickly smiled and expressed their gratitude for Gilgamesh's reward.

Then, Chen Gong whispered a few words in Diao Yunshang's ear, and Diao Yunshang said to Gilgamesh, "I want the halberd in the royal treasury."

This was within Gilgamesh's expectations. After all, Lu Bu's halberd had been destroyed in the previous battle. With this lesson learned, Chen Gong planned to rely on the halberd in Gilgamesh's treasury and the Xia Dynasty technology in his possession to produce a batch of higher-quality replicas. In this way, there would be no need to worry about the embarrassing situation of Wen Hou having no weapon.

Gilgamesh did not hesitate and shot his halberd directly onto the temple floor next to Diao Yunshang. As a result, he was accused by Siduri of destroying the temple.

Gilgamesh pursed his lips and replied, "Are you my mother? Why are you so long-winded?"

As a result, they were met with even fiercer attacks from Siduri.

Gilgamesh tried to speak several times, but couldn't get a word in edgewise. In the end, he could only listen to Siduri's entire sermon with great impatience.

The four people standing below and their followers really wanted to laugh, but they could only force themselves to hold it in, almost causing them internal injuries.

Gilgamesh was not one to suffer in silence. He vented all the anger he had taken from Siduri on Xia Yan and Feng Yan, who had not yet revealed what kind of reward they wanted.

"Xia Yan, Feng Yan, what about you two? Before I change my mind, hurry up and tell me what rewards you want."

Xia Yan and Feng Yan hadn't really decided what reward they wanted, but seeing that Lan Muyan and Diao Yunshang had both set their sights on the treasures in the King's Treasury, they also started thinking in that direction.

After a moment of silence, the two simultaneously revealed the treasures they desired.

"Vimana".

"The Lock of Heaven".

Both men were stunned when they heard what treasure the other wanted, and inwardly exclaimed, "Dude, you really dare to dream!"

The rest of the people present had different opinions about the two: some sincerely admired them, some found them amusing, and some thought they were crazy.

Feng Yan wanted to choose Vimana because after experiencing Morgan's flying magic, he wanted to make up for his weak mobility and lack of firepower. After all, Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge required activating her Noble Phantasm, which consumed a lot of mana and had only so-so firepower. It also couldn't be used as a means of transportation in non-oceanic terrain. In comparison, Vimana was simply superior in every way.

Xia Yan wanted the Chains of Heaven because he had used it in the Underworld and found it particularly useful. Even though he was human, as long as he had this Noble Phantasm, he could restrain Servants with divinity. Even if he couldn't achieve the same effect as Gilgamesh, it would still give him a great chance of survival.

Gilgamesh, who was specifically asked by the two for his two most prized possessions, couldn't help but twitch his face. He was probably already hurling the swear words at them in his mind.

With his clairvoyant abilities, he already knew that Xia Yan and the other three's experiences and the world they were in were nothing more than a simulation, a fake, including himself.

But a king is a king. Even if it's just a simulated world, he will do everything in his power to prevent the destruction of his Uruk. However, the king's rewards can indeed be taken away by them. This is why Gilgamesh wants Xia Yan and the others to immediately state the rewards they want. Once Tiamat appears, they won't have time to leisurely choose their rewards.

However, even he did not expect that the two guys below would be so bold as to set their sights on his most precious treasures. Why don't you let me choose the Ea sword as well?

After a long silence, Gilgamesh cleared his throat and said, "I will not go back on my word, but these two treasures are not something that mere bastards can use. If you two can control them, I will bestow them upon you. If you cannot, I will allow you to exchange them for another reward."

After saying this, Gilgamesh felt that he had perfectly demonstrated the magnanimity of a king and given the two a way out, so as to prevent them from making trouble.

Although they could tell that Gilgamesh was cursing them in his heart, Xia Yan and Feng Yan did not raise any objections. After all, if the reward they received was extremely rare but they could not use it, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Gilgamesh glanced at Morgan standing next to Xia Yan, and without giving the two more time to prepare, immediately said, "Then, let's test whether you can control these two treasures of mine."
