This second dimension is too immortal

"How dare you choose such a lifeless place to hold the King's Banquet? How are you going to apologize for bothering me to come to such a place?"

"Haha, don't be so serious. Come on, the latecomer should have a drink first." Iskandar smiled and handed the wine spoon to Gillian.

Taking the wine spoon, Jin Shanshan took a sip and frowned:

"What kind of rubbish is this? It's a complete disgrace to my taste buds as a king. Do you really think you can use this kind of stuff to judge a hero?"

"Ah? Really? This is the best wine I can find in this city." said Iskandar.

"Hmph, let me show you what true no-good wine is, you bastard."

"Look, this is the real wine of kings!"

Jin Shanshan said disdainfully, golden ripples appeared beside him, and a wine bottle made of gold and several cups slowly appeared.

"Oh, that's wonderful."

Iskandar's eyes lit up as he looked at the wine bottle made of pure gold.

The three of them filled their glasses with wine one by one, and sat around and drank the wine.

Suddenly, Saber and Iskandar both showed surprised expressions. Obviously, the quality of this wine was beyond their expectations.

"Good wine!" said Iskandar cheerfully.

"Hmph! Whether it's wine or something else, my treasury contains only the best treasures. In this way, the superiority or inferiority of the two has been determined without any comparison." Jin Shanshan said this while shaking the golden wine glass in his hand.

"No, no, no, Gilgamesh..." Iskandar waved his hand and was about to refute Gilgamesh's words, but at this moment, the three people who were drinking looked in the same direction at the same time.

Just like the scene when Jin Shanshan appeared before, golden spirit particles emerged, foreshadowing the arrival of another participant.

"Heh..." Jin Shanshan sneered.

It's really disrespectful for her to have the guts to make a final appearance before him, the king. However...it seems like something interesting is going to happen. In that case, let's just forgive her for now.

With a playful smile on his face, Archer glanced at Saber.

The light slowly condensed, and the girl was wearing a pure white dress. Compared with the king, the girl in front of him showed more of her youthful and beautiful side.

"Saber tightened her grip on the wine glass slightly, but didn't say anything.

She and Lily had already fought each other, and their ideas were different, so there was nothing much to talk about.

"Oh, Saber, see, that's right. Just drink if you want to. Wearing armor is nothing. And you, Archer." Iskandar said.

Saber: ....

archer: ....

"No matter what I do, when is it your turn, a bastard, to give me orders?" said Jin Shanshan.

"Ah? Am I late?"

Here, Lily looked at the three people who were already holding wine glasses in their hands, and said after a moment of hesitation.

She came keeping in mind the time, and according to Iskandar, she shouldn't be late.

"Haha, this, um, Saber No. 2, is not late, or rather, he came at the right time." Iskandar waved at Lily.

"Saber No. 2 or something... no need for that, just call me Lily."

Lily came and sat in front of the three of them, took the wine glass handed to her by Iskandar and drank the wine in the glass.

"What a great wine!" Lily looked at the wine glass in her hand in surprise.

"Hmph!" Jin Shanshan's mouth corners slightly raised, obviously, he was very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

"By the way, Lily, where is the person I asked you to invite?" Iskandar waited for a while, and after finding that no one came, he asked curiously.

"Ah? You mean Mr. Zhao Si?" Lily said.

"Wait, are you talking about that rude guy?"

Jin Shanshan narrowed his eyes and interrupted.

"Ah, yes, it's the one who fought with you at that time. His name is Zhao Si, right..." Iskandar nodded. Although Lily had shouted in front of everyone before, not many people paid attention at that time.

"Is that guy also a king?" said Gilgamesh.

"This...I'm not quite sure." Iskandar scratched his head.

"Hmph! Since you don't know, then treat it as if it's not your fault!" Gilgamesh snorted coldly, folding his arms.

"Even if I am the only true king, you are at least kings recognized by your subjects. You are barely worthy of drinking with me. Who is he to be qualified to sit down and drink with us?"

"What do you mean! Isn't this a simple cocktail party? Why is there a distinction between high and low? Why can't Mr. Zhao Si be seated?" Lily frowned when she heard this.

"Where did you hear that, little girl? Besides, even if it's just a simple banquet, with my participation, it can only be a banquet for the king. He is not qualified!" Gilgamesh said disdainfully.

"You!" Lily stared at Gilgamesh.

"What? Do you have any ideas?"

Gilgamesh drank the wine in the glass calmly, chuckled, and golden ripples spread out behind him.

Seeing that the cocktail party turned tense in a few words, Iskandar, as the organizer of the cocktail party, had no choice but to mediate.

"Okay, okay! We agreed that today we're just going to drink and not fight." Iskandar waved his hand to stop both sides.

Then, Iskandar said somewhat helplessly, "I certainly didn't mention the king's banquet at the beginning. Besides, Gilgamesh, as a king, don't you have the dignity of a king?"

"Hmph! This king's bearing is naturally boundless, but rude people are an exception." Jin Shanshan snorted coldly, but did not continue. The golden ripples behind him dissipated.

"So what about you, Lily? Isn't that guy planning to come?" Iskandar said.

"No, Mr. Zhao Si agreed to participate, but he said he had to go deal with a guy, so he might be late." Lily said as she sat down.

"Oh? Would you mind telling me about it?" Iskandar asked curiously. He wanted to know what could be more important than the invitation he issued.

Iskandar was a king after all, a king whose creed was tyranny. He issued an invitation with the weight of a king, and it was rare for him to encounter such a situation.

"It's not something that can't be said. In fact...it seems there's no need to say it."

Lily stopped talking midway.

At the same time, the other three seemed to sense something and looked towards the horizon together.

For a moment, the dazzling sword light seemed to illuminate the night, and after just a moment, it returned to calm again.

Then, not long after, golden spirit particles appeared in the yard again.

Under the gaze of everyone, the spirit slowly condensed into the figure of Zhao Si.

Then, a voice with a hint of laughter sounded in everyone's ears.

"Hey, everyone's drinking. Am I not late?"

Zhao Si said this with a smile on his face.

Chapter 252 The King's Struggle

Ten minutes ago, at the Tohsaka family.

“It turned out to be a banquet…”

From the news he got from Gilgamesh, Tōsaka Tokiomi never expected that such a scene would occur in the Holy Grail War.

The heroic spirits who should have been fighting each other could actually get together peacefully and drink...

"Is it really okay to just leave Archer alone like this?" Kotomine Kirei's voice rang out.

"Heh, there's nothing I can do. As the king of kings, I can't escape the questions others ask me... Speaking of which, Kirei."

"What do you think about the difference in combat power between Rider and Archer?" Toosaka Tokiomi asked.

"...That depends on whether Rider possesses a Noble Phantasm that surpasses the Kamui Wheel." Kotomine Kirei said.

"Rider and his Master are attending the reception defenselessly. This presents a good opportunity. In this situation, whether or not we have a chance of winning isn't important. Even if Assassin fails, it's enough to understand Rider's strength."

Tōsaka Tokiomi said this and stood up:

"You may begin now, Kirei."

"Yes, but it will take ten minutes to gather all the assassins."

"Then give the order. Although it's a big gamble, we won't lose anything."

"Regardless of sacrifice, only victory is sought." said Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Upon hearing this, Kotomine Kirei immediately used the Command Seals to order the assassins to head to Einzbern Castle.

Kotomine Kirei's Heroic Spirit is named Hassan the Hundred Faces, and one of his abilities is to transform into a large number of individuals with different appearances.

After receiving the order from Kotomine Kirei, the Hassans who were originally spread across Fuyuki as spies immediately rushed to the Einzbern Castle in the suburbs.

On the other side, Zhao Si and Lily also looked at the time and set off for Einzbern Castle.

However, when approaching the castle, Zhao Si suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Zhao Si?" Lily asked curiously.

"What a coincidence, Lily. You go ahead first. I'll wait for a certain mouse here."

Zhao Si sat cross-legged on Aomei and said to Lily with a smile.

"Mouse?" Lily was stunned, but she quickly realized that Zhao Si must have discovered something.

"Well, okay, I'll go over first, Mr. Zhao Si." Lily nodded, and then walked towards the castle.

Zhao Si glanced at the forest below and said:

"Don't you want to come out and talk? Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you are only one person now, and there is no point in killing you."

The forest was still silent, and there was no movement after Zhao Si finished speaking.

Seeing this, Zhao Si didn't care and smiled and said:

"...Never mind, let's just wait."

Then he sat quietly on Aomei and waited.

In the forest, hiding in the shadows, the masked assassin held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make any rash moves.

She was located relatively close to the Einzbern Castle, and after Kotomine Kirei issued the order, she rushed here immediately, waiting for the arrival of other assassins.

Who knew that instead of waiting for the assassin, two uninvited guests arrived.

But that doesn't matter, I can just hide. As an assassin, I have the skill of blocking my breath, so normally people can't find me.

But who knew that after one of the two uninvited guests left, the other one stopped.

And just now, the other party seemed to have noticed me and asked me to get out! ?

Please, big brother, please respect my rank. I'm an assassin! Even if I'm Hassan, I'm not the original Hassan!

Assassin did not move. She was not sure whether this heroic spirit was trying to trick her into showing up. She had seen how powerful the other party was, and showing up rashly would definitely lead to death.

After informing the other assassins and Kotomine Kirei of this news, the assassins waited quietly.

"You said that one of Assassin's clones encountered the mysterious heroic spirit named Zhao Si?"

The Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi said with a frown.

"Yes, and he seemed to have discovered the assassin, but he didn't do anything." Kotomine Kirei said.

"...Do you think he really found the assassin?"

"...Yes, they must have discovered it. The reason they don't know how to use it is probably because they want to wait until all the assassins arrive and then destroy them one by one."

After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, he continued:

"Teacher, should we ask Assassin to retreat?"

"...No! No need to retreat!" After thinking for a while, Tōsaka Tokiomi said.

"In that case, let's change the target of our test to this Heroic Spirit. Honestly, I think his presence is even more dangerous than Rider's."

"He must be coming for the Holy Grail, there is no doubt about that!" Tōsaka Tokiomi said with a serious look.

Otherwise, the three heroes would not have been eliminated so quickly.

Facing such an enemy, it would be very dangerous if you have no idea of ​​the opponent's trump card. Even if you have the strongest servant Gilgamesh in your hand, Tōsaka Tokiomi does not want to take the risk.

"Yes, I will order the assassin to speed up." Kotomine Kirei said.

Outside Einzbern Castle.

Zhao Si, who was waiting for the assassins to gather, raised his eyebrows and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared on the treetop below.
