People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

However, she was not too surprised by this result. After all, she had long known that the instant-close-range Noble Phantasm she had shown mercy to would hardly cause any real damage to an opponent like Rider, let alone force him to leave the field. She released the Noble Phantasm only because she was unhappy with this guy's unreasonable behavior.

What made Artoria even more speechless was that the first time she successfully released her Noble Phantasm in the Holy Grail War was not in a fierce battle, but because of such a trivial matter.

You bastard, you held a party at my house without informing me?

They visited them one by one, making such a big fuss that she and Emiya Kiritsugu thought they were the first targets to be attacked, and they were about to fight them, but it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.

On the other side, in the reception room of the Einzbern castle.

"It seems the real master has arrived..."

After using a detection magic to check that the tea in the cup was not poisonous, Luo Wei calmly took a small sip.

After hearing the loud explosion outside, he couldn't help but smile and asked Emiya Kiritsugu in front of him, "What's the matter? Mr. Emiya, aren't you going out to greet the guests as the host?"

"..." Kiritsugu Emiya covered his head and did not answer. The female assistant beside him had been restless, or rather, her hands were not very honest. She quietly grasped her pistol, wanting to find a chance to shoot Luo Wei, but because she was stopped by Kiritsugu Emiya, she did not take action.

"No, go on your own. Consider this castle a gift to you. We'll be leaving soon. I just blew up their stronghold yesterday. If we encounter them head-on, there's no guarantee those heroic spirits won't go on a rampage and kill people, so I won't be showing up."

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head in self-mockery, then stood up, ready to leave with his assistant to make room for this noisy and unreasonable party.

"I see... Since Mr. Emiya doesn't want to, how about I be the host for the next banquet?"

Luo Wei didn't care about this, but looked at him and said with a smile.

"Help yourself. The food and other things are all in the castle's cold storage."

"Thanks a lot, then," Rowe turned and left the room.

“Kiritsugu…are you really going to agree to that guy’s request? If you send Avalon away, your body…”

After Luo Wei left, Hisau Maiya finally removed her fingers from the butt of the gun and asked Kiritsugu in front of her with concern.

She had just learned about the deal that Luo Wei proposed, and she knew that the other party was after Emiya Kiritsugu's treasure this time.

“I’m fine, Maiya…”

Under Hisau Maiya's worried gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head slightly.

"But……"

"Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I am at an absolute disadvantage. I have no choice. Even if I don't agree, the other party can rely on his absolute strength to snatch the treasure from here, not to mention that Ai Li is still in his hands..."

"But I didn't expect that this unknown magus was the biggest planner of this Holy Grail War, and that he was actually Aozaki Touko's partner. I didn't realize it until now. I really am a hopeless fool..."

Emiya Kiritsugu pounded the table, his expression gradually distorted.

"We have no choice now. Whether it's for Ellie's safety or victory in this war, I must make a deal with them... Because there's still a glimmer of hope. As long as Ellie is still here, we can still have our chances of winning. As for my body..."

Emiya Kiritsugu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Let him be buried deep in this land the moment his dream comes true."

……

……

"What... I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me. No wonder Saber started fighting at the first sign of disagreement."

Iskandar, who had just stepped off the chariot and was covered in dust, scratched his head. After seeing Scathach and Rowe appear, he realized what was going on.

He looked at Altria, who had a bad look on her face, and spoke naturally.

"Don't be angry, Saber. The reason I didn't inform you was because I wanted to give you a surprise! Look, heroes gather together, kings gather for a feast. What a grand event! I'm sure you'll be very happy too!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After looking around, Iskandar burst into laughter.

"...Surprise? I think it should be surprise."

Altria gripped the hilt of her sword, frowned, and sighed, "If it weren't for the presence of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, I would have just hit you in the face with my Noble Phantasm at full power."

"You are truly a fool, King Conqueror. You held a banquet in someone else's house without informing them. No wonder King Arthur was so angry."

Seeing this scene, Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, and Scathach on the side even covered her mouth and teased him.

"If I were King Arthur, and you dared to do this, I would have rushed over and chopped you into eight pieces the moment you landed."

"Ah...are my actions really that disrespectful? I thought the Knight King would readily accept such a thing..."

Seeing everyone saying this, Iskandar scratched his head.

After the atmosphere calmed down, Iskandar noticed Scathach's gorgeous gown and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "However, Queen Scathach, you are truly stunning in this dress. The stunning look you showed when we first met is comparable to that of the goddess Venus."

"Thank you for your praise, King of Conquerors. I just suddenly felt like giving it a try." Scathach smiled slightly.

"Although it's true that the gathering of heroes is exciting, that's no reason for you to come uninvited and gather everyone at Saber's house."

Luo Wei shook his head, but after the misunderstanding between them was clarified, he took the initiative to invite Iskandar to come in and sit down.

"Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, come on in. I've already chosen a spot for you. The courtyard behind this castle may look a bit drab, but it does seem spacious. I'll find you some food later."

"Eh?"

Seeing that it was not Altria who spoke, but Rowe, Iskandar and Weber couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"Um...I remember this isn't Saber's castle? Why do you seem like the host?"

Because there were so many flaws, Weber didn't know where to start complaining for a moment.

Iskandar also kept looking at the faces of Rovi and Altria with a puzzled look on his face, and finally, a flash of inspiration came to him and he suddenly clapped his hands.

"I see. So you had already conquered this place and subdued the Knight King before I arrived? That's truly impressive... Military Advisor, you're capable of such a feat. I'm truly growing fond of you."

"Ha ha……"

The King of Conquerors' words made Scathach laugh uncontrollably, and she winked at the gloomy-looking Artoria.

"Rider, if you dare to say that again, I will definitely tear your mouth apart this time."

At this moment, Artoria's patience with Iskandar has reached its limit.

However, when they were about to fight again, Luo Wei explained in time,

"You misunderstood. Saber's Master was unable to show up due to some unpleasantness with everyone yesterday, so he entrusted the hosting of this banquet to me and hoped that I could apologize to you for his rudeness."

"Oh, so that's what happened."

The King of Conquerors suddenly realized, and Altria looked at Rowe in front of her in surprise.

"It's perfectly normal to use all possible means in war, so why leave? However, since that's the case, I'll trouble you, Military Advisor, to take care of it."

"nature."

After learning the whole story, the King of Conquerors laughed and walked inside with Weber and his own Gragas.

……

The courtyard of the Einzbern castle was not particularly beautiful; it could even be described as shabby.

Because the Einzberns are all androids, their emotions and desires are much weaker than those of ordinary people, and the same is true when it comes to pleasure.

So when the Einzberns built this castle, they really just wanted to create a stronghold, and comfort was not a consideration at all.

As a result, not only are there no gardens like those in the fairy tale world, nor are there colorfully decorated courtyards in the huge castle, there are not even normal landscape buildings. The entire courtyard is more like an empty space covered with gray stone slabs than a castle courtyard. It looks a bit like an empty martial arts arena. No wonder Iskandar said it was a bit shabby.

Scathach clearly didn't care much about this. After all, compared to the kingdoms of these mortal kings, her Shadow Kingdom was the real heavyweight. The harsh environment there was so harsh that even ghosts would find it tormenting. Compared to hers, this castle, apart from being a little smaller, was already quite good.

Led by Rowe, the three of them took their seats in their pre-selected seats. Scathach, noticing that only Iskandar and Waver had arrived, asked in confusion, "Lancer and his Master haven't arrived yet? Rider, have you really notified everyone?"

"Well... they should have arrived already."

Iskandar shook his head and was about to say something, but the next moment, a loud male voice came from the corner of the courtyard.

"Don't worry, Queen Scathach. Nobles are never late for a banquet."

A certain classical nobleman who was tall, rich but not very handsome chose not to take the usual route and emerged directly from the corner of the courtyard. Following him was the tall, rich and handsome Lancer Finn. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Why are they here?"

Seeing this scene, Saber's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch wildly.

She could figure out that these two guys came with Rider, but took advantage of the time when she was being held back by Rider to slip in directly and began to collect intelligence in the castle and search for Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kayneth had suffered such a great loss, so naturally he was unwilling to let the other party go easily. It was also thanks to Emiya Kiritsugu's timely escape that he would have fallen into Kayneth's hands today and his end would have been even more miserable than the first night.

"Lancer, Saber, the King, and Queen Scathach... well, most of the people have already arrived."

Iskandar carried his wine barrel and placed it directly on the ground. Then he saw a long row of potato chips, hamburgers, chicken nuggets and other fast food, as well as cola on the table, and he couldn't help but look curious.

After picking up one at random and eating it in one bite, his expression suddenly brightened. For a moment, he thought that the food was quite good, and quickly invited everyone to come and eat together.

Looking at the ancient heroes seated, and then glancing at Rowe, who was pushing a food cart like he was loading goods, heating up the instant meals from the underground warehouse and bringing them up, Iskandar was clearly delighted. "After all, this is his first time hosting a banquet in the modern era, and dining with so many heroes and Masters."

"King of Conquerors, do you drink blue or red Coke?"

"The red and blue ones are too hard to drink. I can't get used to them," Iskandar replied habitually, holding out his cup. Going out to buy snacks every day these days has given him a lot of understanding about the drinks of this era.

"Oh, red. I prefer red, too. The blue is just like saliva."

Luo Wei nodded in agreement. Weber, standing beside him, suddenly got upset because he liked the blue one. He complained furiously, "What do you know? The sugar in the blue one is the essence. The red one tastes like disinfectant and is as unpalatable as it is."

happy……

Luo Wei ignored him and looked at Kenneth.

"What about you, Mr. Kenneth?"

"I won't drink anything!"

Compared to Rider, Kenneth's face was green with rage. Although he didn't know why Rowe was the host here, after seeing the all-inclusive fast food and cola, his noble character made him want to capture Rowe and question him thoroughly. "Is this what you call a banquet? Did you feed the dogs at the banquet I took you to in the Clock Tower?"

In this regard, Luo Wei is even more innocent.

He also wanted to get some proper food to entertain them, but God knows that the basement storage room of this damn place is nothing but hamburgers. The entire warehouse has been taken over by fast food, and he could only come up with these things after searching for a long time.

"Calm down, Mr. Kenneth. You know, even the best cook cannot cook without rice. These are all we have here. Even if you tell me the truth, I can't create anything for you out of thin air. Alchemy is not omnipotent after all, and I don't have the ability to materialize my imagination. So make do with it, make do with it... It's people, not food, that are important." Luo Wei glanced at King Odd and Iskandar, who were eating happily in their seats, and continued,

"Look, aren't they happy too?"

"Master, calm down." Finn also persuaded Kenneth in time and helped Rowe to speak: "Yes, the appearance is not important, what is important is the people."

"never mind……"

After listening to Luo Wei's explanation, Kenneth sighed, then calmed down and chose to sit down on the spot.

After several people sat down at the same time, Iskandar knocked casually and opened the wine barrel he brought. He picked up the wine spoon and scooped out the wine inside, then put it to his mouth to taste it and praised it as a good wine.

Then he filled another spoonful, poured it into the cup in front of him and handed it to Scathach and others.

However, at this moment, Scathach and Kenneth, who took the wine glasses, looked obviously unhappy, especially Kenneth. When he smelled the familiar aroma of compound wine, he almost couldn't help but explode.

The reason was simple, it was just because this idiot had mixed all his precious red wines together, which resulted in the originally good wine turning into a barrel of stew. Now the taste was completely changed, let alone drinking it, just smelling it was a torture for him.

Let him drink this?

Kenneth would rather drink red and blue cola!!

Seeing Scathach's expression change, Rowe, as the Master, sighed helplessly, and then took the King of Conquerors' wine for her before she got angry. This way, he avoided offending her and helped his Servant out of trouble.

"Military Advisor, you are truly heroic!"

Seeing that Luo Wei took the wine on his own initiative, Iskandar was very happy, and the look he gave him was obviously more favorable.

Be brave and resourceful, take control of the overall situation, consider your companions, and more importantly, be able to judge the situation and balance everyone.

Such talents are more attractive to him than warriors. If he had such a military advisor to assist him, he would surely have created more glory in his lifetime.

"Can this really be called a banquet? Not to mention the food, at least the wine should be luxurious, right?"

After this glass of wine came, Scathach, who had been watching the Knight King being humiliated, suddenly lost her joy...

"I agree with that."

Artoria also agreed with Scathach's words.

This guy is simply bringing shame to these kings.

However, before they could say anything, Iskandar kept looking around, his expression gradually becoming a little strange. He couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "Speaking of which, where's Archer? Why hasn't he come yet? Logically, he shouldn't break his promise."

"No, they're already here."
