People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

and so……

"Do you accept?"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness the King of Heroes. Since you are willing to go this far, I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, unlike you, who was born with near omniscience, I cannot be truly omniscient and appropriate. If there are questions that I cannot answer, please forgive me."

Even at this point, Luo Wei still maintained an extremely humble attitude and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Then let me ask you, who will be your first target?"

Gilgamesh stared at Rowe in front of him, and then asked a question with a sense of evil humor.

Chapter 6: The Final Ruckus (5K words)

The solitary golden king stood before Luo Wei, his scarlet eyes fixed on his face, as if trying to see through him, to discern something from within his flesh. Though they stood at the same height, everyone present could sense the aloofness of the golden king, looking down upon everyone else.

Gilgamesh, the Hero King, the first king in human history, and the protagonist of the oldest heroic epic.

Legend has it that he is a hybrid of human and god, a wedge created by the gods to maintain humanity. He is one third human and two thirds god, a nearly perfect being.

It is precisely because of this that this king always views the world from the perspective of a god rather than a human.

This wasn't just arrogance; it was just his nature.

Irritable, willful, and wanton... This is the nature of a god, so he is so unrestrained and does not take anything seriously during this period.

Because he was enlightened and influenced by a certain green and gentle person, he gradually put away his tyranny. Later, because he personally experienced the separation of life and death, and went alone to find immortality, this made the king unwilling to go to the side of the gods, and chose to move forward side by side with humans.

From then on, he regarded himself as a king instead of a god.

Rather than saying that Gilgamesh is a king of mankind, it would be better to say that he is a god who chose mankind but had a very short lifespan.

'The wisdom and power of a god, but with the lifespan of a human.'

This is how Rowe perceives the king Gilgamesh.

"I'm asking you, who will be your first target?"

Seeing that Luo Wei had accepted his proposed game, the moody Golden King couldn't help but smile. He looked down at the young man before him and asked his first question with a touch of mischievous amusement.

If the plan were exposed, it would undoubtedly alert the enemy and would also encourage the remaining two knights to form an alliance to save themselves. Furthermore, if it was truly Gilgamesh, there was no guarantee that answering this question truthfully would not incur the enemy's wrath. After all, this was a moody king.

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat frozen, and everyone's eyes turned to Luo Wei. At this tense moment, if the master had a weaker psychological quality, he would surely be in a state of confusion.

"Archer Gilgamesh, our initial target is you. Finn, Iskandar, and Berserker will form the subjugation team to attack the Tōsaka family. I will lead Scathach to contain Saber King Arthur, preventing her from coming to support you. Kenneth-sensei and Waver will also take this opportunity to advance directly into the Tōsaka residence, behead Tōsaka Tokiomi, and cut off the supply of magic power, thereby reducing your threat and ensuring victory."

"Oh? The plan is very detailed, fellow cultivators." Gilgamesh sneered.

"Because you are so powerful, in the entire Holy Grail War, no one can match you in terms of individual strength. That's why we have formulated this strategy. Fighting you alone is just courting death. Attacking you in groups is the right approach in this situation. I hope you understand."

But Rowe was obviously not an ordinary Master. In response to Gilgamesh's questions, he followed the rules of the game and told him everything he knew. He told Kenneth the crusade plan that they had jointly formulated without hesitation.

Kenneth's eyelids twitched a few times when he saw this, and when Tohsaka Tokiomi learned that this lemon-head guy was so sinister, his face turned pale.

Gilgamesh smiled thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"you are interesting."

After the first question, Gilgamesh gave Lovi a high evaluation. He then waved his hand, and several golden weapons of varying styles shot out from a golden portal of light, landing directly in front of Lovi.

"Very good, you are very honest and have not played any tricks on me. As a reward for being honest, will you choose one of the treasures here?"

Looking at the war hammer, battle axe, and golden machete falling in front of him, Luo Wei's eyes became a little strange, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Do you think I'm some kind of berserker who casts a spell and then goes straight for the axe?"

There is no doubt that these weapons were randomly ejected from Gilgamesh's treasure house without any deliberate selection, which is why this situation occurred.

Obviously, in his eyes, the rewards Luo Wei had accumulated at the moment were not enough to be worthy of him personally selecting.

and so……

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's better to leave the bill for last." Luo Wei shook his head and didn't take the Noble Phantasm that was within reach. Instead, he smiled at Gilgamesh and replied, "After all, it seems that you haven't had enough fun yet, right?"

"Humph, you are a lot more greedy than I thought, you miscellaneous cultivator."

Gilgamesh narrowed his scarlet eyes, staring at Luo Wei's face, and saw through his thoughts at a glance.

However, what this kid said was indeed correct, but at this point, he was far from having enough fun.

"Since you want a better treasure, then listen to my next question."

Gilgamesh stared at Rowe's face, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked a very intriguing question.

"Tell me everything you know about the nature of this Holy Grail War and the purpose of your participation. I will judge the outcome."

This question is very interesting. Although it is one question, it is actually two. The first part is to find out what Rowe knows about the Holy Grail War, and the second part is to explore his purpose and ideas.

Moreover, the current situation was full of malice for Luo Wei, because there were not only the two of them present, but also all the masters and servants except the Berserker. As long as Luo Wei answered, everyone would know.

Gilgamesh could see that even if someone like Rowe formed an alliance with someone, he would definitely be hiding something. If he were to let him reveal the truth and his purpose, then...

I wonder how he can maintain these alliances and interpersonal relationships?

Gilgamesh was curious about his choices and actions at this moment.

"Regarding the nature of the Holy Grail... this question is truly extremely complicated."

Luo Wei scratched his head, a look of hesitation on his face. He then pondered for a moment and said, "It's essentially a large-scale aggregation of magical power condensed through special rituals. It was witnessed by the Second Magician, his apprentice Tōsaka Nagato, Machiri Zorgen, the first Winter Saint, Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern, and the Third Magician. This large-scale magic ritual was jointly created. It is one of the miracles of this era."

"But having only a magical aggregate isn't enough. At best, it's just a giant block of magical energy, hardly a wish-granting machine. Therefore, we need to summon Servants, have them fight each other, and sacrifice their souls. When more than five Servants die, the ritual of the Holy Grail will begin, and with some of the power of the wish-granting machine, some wishes can be granted. And once seven are sacrificed, even miracles like resurrection, or opening the Root Hole and traveling to the Root, are not impossible."

In response to Gilgamesh's question, Rowe once again calmly gave an answer that shocked everyone present.

At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Wei who answered the question. He felt extremely puzzled by his behavior.

Why? Why did he know this? And why did he tell it?

Isn't he also trying to reach the root?

Sacrifice seven heroic spirits and reach the source as the final victor. This is what they have to do. The original hypocrisy and compromise were all to stabilize Gilgamesh and wait for the final sacrifice of him.

Now that Luo Wei has revealed the truth, there is no doubt that all the Heroic Spirits present will know the truth and lose trust in their Masters. If they have been prepared in advance, the success rate of using Command Spells to control suicide will be greatly reduced.

Tōsaka Tokiomi stared at Luo Wei, his heart trembling with anger at his answer. He wanted to rush up and grab Luo Wei's collar, and then loudly ask him what benefit would come from doing this?

Aren’t we all moving forward to reach the root?

Why would you reveal the truth about something like this? Aren't you afraid of the Heroic Spirits turning against you?

However, Luo Wei scoffed at this in his heart.

us?

Who follows you?

He did have his own wishes, but he never reached the so-called root.

"My wish and plan to obtain the Holy Grail are actually very simple." After answering Gilgamesh's first question, Rowe smiled and replied to those scarlet eyes.

"I believe my abnormality will definitely not be hidden from your eyes, so my wish is simple. I just want to try to return to a place. Although the possibility of doing so is very slim, I have to give it a try after all."

"Returning to one place?... Humph, this is truly the wish of a miscellaneous cultivator. However, it does make sense."

After hearing Rowe's answer, Gilgamesh nodded, and then agreed with his wish, but did not point out the distortion in front of everyone, which did not belong to the essence of the soul of this world.

At the first sight, he saw the difference in Luo Wei's soul.

Twisted, massive, pure, rare... it possessed a breath not of this world, bearing a mark all its own. Even the knowledgeable Gilgamesh had never seen anything like it. Even the treasury of Babylon, known for its vast treasures, could not contain such a treasure.

This soul is unique... there is only one of its kind. The miracles it contains are no less than those of the so-called Holy Grail, and it can even be said to be far greater.

The vastness of this soul means that the origin of this world cannot restrict him, and he can freely choose and obtain everything he needs.

The soul of God?

It's somewhat similar, but not very specific.

A treasure from outside this world...

This is truly a good collection for this king, and it is also a qualified trophy of this Holy Grail War.

Thinking of this, Gilgamesh smiled.

On the other side, Iskandar couldn't help but show a surprised expression as he listened to Rowe's detailed analysis of the principles and origins of the Holy Grail.

"Military Advisor, you actually know so much about the Holy Grail War...sacrifice, and the wishing machine. This means that the Holy Grail War is indeed real. This is really good news for this king."

"So this is another result of observation from a parallel world?"

Compared to Iskandar who was very excited at the moment, Weber's expression was obviously much calmer.

He knew some inside information, even though it was Luo Wei who fooled him.

Kenneth's expression also twisted at this moment.

The second magician, the third magician...

These are some very niche words. He didn't expect to encounter them all at a magic ceremony in the countryside.

For a moment, Kenneth felt that the water hidden in this Holy Grail War was too deep.

Is it possible that there are so many hidden talents in this small countryside?

"Also, as additional information, there's something amiss with the Holy Grail this time, so I'm going to wait and see. Even if I do finally obtain it, I won't use it directly. Instead, I'll inspect it and purify it myself until I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. Only then will I use it."

This information is not in the database of any of the three royal families, and it can be regarded as first-hand information provided by Luo Wei.

Even if I didn't explain everything clearly, I answered the question without hiding anything.

"Interesting... I, the King, had already vaguely sensed something was amiss, but I didn't expect it to be so."

Gilgamesh, who was very satisfied with Rowe's honesty and his soul, slowly raised his palm, and then the three inappropriate treasures on the ground disappeared, replaced by a gorgeous gem emitting dazzling seven-color light, floating in front of Rowe.

"Boy, your answer is good, so keep it. This is the most appropriate reward for you, and it is also a sign of my kindness."

After all the questions were answered, Gilgamesh nodded with satisfaction, "The king is very pleased with the tribute you presented tonight."

Looking at the magic gem emitting seven-color light floating in front of him, even the usually calm Luo Wei couldn't help but twitch his face slightly when he saw this thing.

Originally, he just wanted to get a decent magic wand or treasure from Gilgamesh, but he didn't expect that the king would be so arrogant and actually give this thing away.

——The philosopher's stone.

This is the lifelong pursuit of all alchemists and a treasure owned by von Hohenheim, the old worm's former best friend.

He is a great treasure of the magic world, and his achievements are no less than those of the genius who wrote the Book of Law. He organized natural magic into an excellent theoretical system.

According to their theory, there are four great spirits in the universe: the earth spirit Gnomm, the water spirit Undine, the wind spirit Sylph, and the fire spirit Shalamander. Even today, many alchemies still use this system.

Regarding the legend of von Hohenheim and the Philosopher's Stone, there is no clear record in the magic world about von Hohenheim's successful refining of the Philosopher's Stone, but his story about the Philosopher's Stone is recorded in a book about refining called "The Golden Sails".

But no matter what, this thing is indeed the most suitable treasure for his magic system.

With the help of this treasure, the upper limit of the thing he is going to make next may be raised to a very terrifying level. Maybe he can really summon some extraordinary big guy.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Luo Wei grabbed the Philosopher's Stone that was floating in front of him, and instantly took it directly into his body.

"Hmm, as for what's next..."

Seeing that the matter was almost over, Gilgamesh glanced behind him. Because of Luo Wei's words, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Although I am tired of him, killing him so easily would be too easy for him and too boring. He might be a good clown, and keeping him around would bring his own unique fun.

only……

"Boy, how about I give you another chance to choose?"

"Please tell me."

Gilgamesh looked at Rowe and asked seriously.

"Abandon the useless Servant behind you and choose to submit to me. After the Holy Grail War is over, I will reward you with the Holy Grail and even more treasures."

“…Archer!!”
