Under the horrified gazes of Scathach and Kenneth, Rowe raised his glass and clinked it with Iskandar. Then, as the host and guest, he drank it all in one gulp with the initiator, officially kicking off the banquet, and then pointed to the sky above his head.

Everyone looked up.

In the dark night sky, a golden airship appeared particularly dazzling.

Chapter 6: First Meeting with the Hero King (5K words)

"Hmm? Look, what is that...?"

Looking towards the sky in the direction of Luo Wei's raised finger, Iskandar, Altria and everyone present couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.

At that moment, a dazzling "boat" of interwoven gold and emeralds soared freely in the night sky. The radiance of the boat and the emeralds reflected each other, like a golden star radiating a dazzling light in the night sky, naturally attracting the attention of those below.

The same aloof king wearing golden armor was standing proudly at the front of the flying boat, his scarlet eyes looking down at the waiting people below, a smile on his lips. Behind him, Tōsaka Tokiomi, holding a ruby wand, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Seeing this scene, compared to the surprised Artoria and Scathach, Waver and Iskandar on the side were completely stunned. After all, this was too cool! The golden spaceship and such a high-profile appearance made its posture like a god in mythology, which naturally attracted people's admiration.

"This appearance is even more high-profile than the Sun God. This Archer... is indeed more troublesome than I imagined."

Seeing the golden figure of Gilgamesh above her head, even Scathach, who had seen a real god, couldn't help but sigh.

I had thought my strength was among the best in all of human history, but I hadn't expected that there would be someone even more extraordinary than me in this Holy Grail War, capable of easily pulling out treasures from various mythological systems.

But compared to the feelings of the Heroic Spirits, Kayneth and Tōsaka Tokiomi were more concerned about whether such a high-profile appearance was really a good idea. Would flying around in the sky over Fuyuki City with this thing really not attract the attention of the citizens?

Feeling sorry for the Master, Tōsaka Tokiomi, and Kotomine Kirei, who was in charge of the aftermath, Lovi knew that such a high-profile appearance was probably because Gilgamesh wanted to show his own glory and attention to the heroic spirits present, so he drove out this glorious ship recorded in the Indian myths "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata".

However, the mysterious hidden problem of this place is the responsibility of the spiritual vein managers, the Tosaka family and the Holy Church. No matter how big a commotion is, it has nothing to do with them. So after thinking about this, Kenneth's face was not so ugly anymore.

After all, not long ago, Tōsaka Tokiomi teamed up with Emiya Kiritsugu to blow up his own building. The compensation and subsequent resettlement expenses were also paid out of Tōsaka Tokiomi's own pocket. Now, flying around so brazenly in the sky again, he wanted to see how a small country mage family like the Tōsaka family would be properly dealt with. When he returned to the Clock Tower, he would use his privileges to investigate. If the Tōsaka family had not handled anything properly, he would have plenty of ways to trip up Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Thinking of this, Kenneth's expression became much happier, and he took a sip of the strange drink called Coke, which was rare.

"Hmm... this blue one tastes pretty good."

(heresy!!)

"So, what exactly is that?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had retreated several kilometers away and was observing the airship with a telescope, began to tremble uncontrollably with the finger holding the cigarette.

Waver was equally bewildered by this scene. He glanced at the golden airship in the sky, then at Iskandar beside him, and asked doubtfully, "Could he also be a Rider?"

"Of course not, kid."

Iskandar shook his head, then looked intently at the glorious ship soaring in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "But even I have to admit that this Archer might be more suitable for the Rider class than I am."

Then he looked at the surprised Weber standing beside him and said shockingly, "I've made up my mind, kid!"

"You...what have you decided?"

Weber felt a little uneasy, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"After the Holy Grail War is over, I will also buy an aircraft, and then I will challenge this Radiant Ship to a duel! As for what to buy specifically, well... the F-14 fighter jet I saw on the military channel seems pretty good."

Hearing the other party's words, Weber felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

But despite his persuasion, Iskandar's resolve to buy the F-14 and soar into the skies to conquer the world remained unshaken. He even managed to get him to utter the irritating words, "Just rob it!" Seeing this, Kenneth's brows twitched wildly, and he became even more determined. He couldn't let that kid Waver win in the end. Otherwise, who knows what kind of impact he and Rider would have on the world. This would be a complete mudslide.

However, the topic of purchasing F14 did not last long. Iskandar immediately turned his gaze to Lowe, who had a rather unhappy expression because he had drunk mixed wine, and Scathach, who was patting him on the back.

"Military Advisor, do you know what Archer's car is?"

As he spoke, Iskandar continued to pick up his wine glass and drank it down under the light of the beautiful golden boat. Then he said, "If possible, I would like to get a few hundred of them right now to play with."

However, Iskandar's words left everyone present speechless.

"King of Conquerors, that thing is divinely created and a Noble Phantasm. It is impossible to create it with modern technology."

Hearing his question, Luo Wei shook his head and immediately explained the origin of this object. "The Vimana, the golden throne soaring in the sky, is also known as the Ship of Glory. It is a flying vehicle recorded in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. There is only one such flying vehicle in the world."

"There's only one..."

After listening to Luo Wei's narration, Iskandar nodded as if he understood. Although he felt sorry that there was only one plane, the desire in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"Then there's no other way. It seems I can only find a way to snatch it from Archer!"

"It's really hard to evaluate your style of doing things..." Scathach complained.

Artoria directly hallucinated the Saxons she had once expelled, a typical invader's mindset.

"How dare you, a random cultivator!"

Gilgamesh, standing on the top of the golden ship, seemed to have heard Iskandar's rude and arrogant words. He frowned, then jumped from a height of dozens of meters, landed steadily, and came in front of everyone.

He looked at Iskandar in front of him with his scarlet eyes, his pupils full of amusement, "Rider, are you the one who is planning to take my treasure?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha! That's right, it's me. Archer, I really like that treasure of yours."

"And you know my name, the King of Conquerors, which means Conqueror! Since I'm a conqueror, I must conquer. Seeing something so interesting, if I were to think of conquering it, it would be unworthy of my name."

Facing Gilgamesh's question, Iskandar spoke frankly. He looked at him fearlessly and said, "So, Archer, if I defeat you, will you give me this golden boat called Vimana?"

Being open and honest, this is the way of the conqueror king Iskandar. If you want it, take it; if you like it, conquer it.

It is precisely because he has ambitions that surpass anyone else, as well as heroism and true inner clarity, that people want to get close to him and support him from the bottom of their hearts.

A person like him can undoubtedly serve as a banner to guide those who are lost on the road ahead.

Hearing Iskandar's words, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Artoria clenched her fists and summoned her holy sword, ready to fight. Finn and Scathach both protected their Masters behind them.

Only... Weber.

"What about me? I haven't even gotten on the bus yet! Why don't you guys take care of me!!"

In such a serious atmosphere, Waver chose the principle of proximity and hid directly behind Altria, which made people speechless.

However, compared to their alert expressions, the expressions of Rowe and Gilgamesh were much more interesting.

“Hooha ...

After hearing Iskandar's aggressive remarks, Gilgamesh, as Lovi had expected, did not get angry, but instead burst into laughter.

"Although you are a miscellaneous cultivator, I have to admit that you are one of the best among the miscellaneous cultivators."

He looked at Iskandar in front of him, his eyes completely retracting the contempt he once had, replaced by a touch of respect and seriousness. "So, I have decided that your life will be ended by me personally. As for Vimana... hmph, if you win, I will give it to you!"

"Thank you very much, Archer."

The two smiled at each other without much communication, but the will to fight and the conflict between the kingly ways made them realize that the other party was an enemy when they met, an enemy worthy of their full efforts.

"So are we going to start a war here? Just like on the first night?" Iskandar looked around, his heart already pounding with emotion, but when he saw Rowe standing beside Scathach and shaking his head slightly, and this rare banquet, he finally put his arms down.

"Oh? What's wrong? Don't you want to fight anymore?"

"No, although I and my army can launch a great conquest at any time, this rare banquet was initiated by me, and the military advisor has also put in a lot of hard work for it. It would be a shame to ruin it."

Iskandar shook his head.

"Hmph, you have some good sense. Using weapons at a banquet like mine is a serious crime." Gilgamesh nodded, then turned the subject to look at the mixed red wine on display, frowning. "But, can this thing even be called a banquet?"

"what……"

Seeing that everyone disliked the wine he brought, Iskandar couldn't help feeling embarrassed and said with a frown.

"Is it really that bad? I think this wine is pretty good..."

"Hmph, there's no point in saying more. Now, let me show you what a truly fine wine is! What is the king's wine!"

The golden arm swung violently, and ripples appeared in the air.

The next moment, Gilgamesh took out his own fine wine from his treasure house and placed it in front of the many heroes in front of him. Just as he waved his hand to prepare to start the banquet, he glanced at Rowe who was sitting opposite him, and then looked at Scathach who was sitting next to him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his palm and made an exception to serve a glass to Rowe, an ordinary person.

"Ok?"

Luo Wei couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see that Gilgamesh actually served him wine.

"Drink, Zashu. This is a reward from my king for your performance. Whether it was plotting against Tōsaka Tokiomi, becoming Saber's Master, hiding behind the scenes to manipulate the situation, or uniting so many forces to control the battle, you have done everything to please my king. I am quite satisfied with your performance."

Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Luo Wei couldn't help but smile, and then thanked Gilgamesh in front of him.

"It was just a fluke, but I will be grateful to you for your reward, Your Highness Gilgamesh."

"Hahahahahahaha, it seems there are still people in this world who can recognize my glory."

Gilgamesh nodded in satisfaction after having his real name revealed by Lovi. He wasn't angry at all about his real name being exposed, nor did he care about Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had just disembarked from the airship and looked desperate when he saw Lovi reveal Gilgamesh's real name.

In his heart, he still recognized Luo Wei as an interesting and capable person. In his eyes, Luo Wei's soul was completely different from that of other cultivators...

It was an extremely twisted, yet extremely strange, special soul that he had never seen before. Even in his King's Treasury, there was no such thing. This made Gilgamesh even more curious about him.

But before he could say anything, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had just gotten off the airship, couldn't hold back anymore when he saw Rowe appear here, sitting side by side with Scathach, and revealing Gilgamesh's real name.

The original elegance and easygoing demeanor completely vanished the moment he saw Luo Wei's true face. He stared at Luo Wei in surprise with his eyes wide open, and then loudly questioned him,

"Master Crowley! Why are you here?"

This loud shouting and interruption of his speech made Gilgamesh, who was standing beside him, look disgusted.

"Why am I here? I'm actually looking for the reason myself."

Facing Tōsaka Tokiomi's question, Luo Wei smiled calmly, then slowly raised his left hand, revealing three bright red Command Seals.

"Maybe it's because I was also chosen by the Holy Grail."

(Well, I snatched it from Ryunosuke, and I was chosen on my own initiative, so I was chosen.)

"So you are the last Master who has never appeared?"

After receiving this extremely shocking answer, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt dizzy for a moment.

Thinking back on what I have done during this period...

He personally delivered his own daughter to his competitors? And he even thought it was the Matou family's fault.

Unexpectedly, when the truth was revealed, the result was such an ending, which made Tohsaka Tokiomi feel unbelievable.

But now is not the time for him to think about these things. After seeing that his enemy is the head of the Crowley family, with whom he had a good chat and hit it off a long time ago, he can't help but think of the daughter he had given away.

"Master Crowley, where's Sakura? Where's my daughter? You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi clenched his palms tightly, staring intently at Luo Wei in front of him, and then spoke word by word.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

"Don't worry about this, Master Tōsaka. I'm participating in the Holy Grail War simply because I share the same wish as you, but I'm also serious about adopting Sakura."

Facing Tōsaka Tokiomi's question, Rowe shook his head and replied with a smile, "So please rest assured. No matter what the outcome, your daughter will receive the Crowley family's magic seal and enter the El-Melloi School to study. I will help her achieve success in the way of magic. This will not be a bad thing, am I right, Mr. Kenneth?"

While answering, Luo Wei deliberately turned the topic to Kenneth. After all, this guy always clamored to be the mentor and teach the genius Xiaoying personally. It was just right for them to come forward together at this time.

"Hmph, Tōsaka Tokiomi... I never thought a mediocre person like you could give birth to a genius like Sakura. It really surprises me."

Hearing Luo Wei's words, Kenneth took a look at Tōsaka Tokiomi in front of him, and then uttered a disdainful voice, "Although I am angry about what you did with Emiya Kiritsugu yesterday, you can rest assured about the issue of Sakura. Your daughter is different from you. She is a genius that I have set my sights on. In terms of seniority, I am also her master. I will definitely train her carefully and let her embark on her own path of magic in the future."

"And you..."

As he spoke, Kayneth clenched his fists and looked at the damned bastard who had sent Assassin to assassinate him. Then he resumed his usual sarcastic attitude and said, "You can go and die in peace. You enjoy chasing the Holy Grail and the Way of Magic, don't you? If so, then just devote yourself to them. Don't worry, even if you do die, I can take care of your other daughter. I'm quite experienced in cultivating geniuses."

After saying this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Kenneth's face, which made Tōsaka Tokiomi swallow his saliva.

He now understood what Kenneth said. He didn't just want to kill him because of a grudge, he wanted to dig up the roots of the Tohsaka family's inheritance.

From what he said, it was all directed at his daughter!!

This made Tōsaka Tokiomi secretly think that this was not good.

He also understood what Luo Wei had just said and what he had done.

After all, he knew that Rowe was also a magician who pursued the truth and yearned for the root, so it was reasonable and understandable for him to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Even when he confirmed that the other party still abided by the agreement to train Sakura, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt a little grateful to him in his heart, and at the same time he felt more and more that Luo Wei and he were really people on the same path.

But Kenneth...
