Saber's slender body will always make people worry about whether she can really drink, but seeing how boldly she drinks, she doesn't belong to Rider at all, and Rider let out a pleasant voice of praise when he saw this.
"So, first of all, are you going to compete with me on who is stronger? Rider."
"Exactly, a real contest in the name of "King", but if this is the case, it will not be called "Holy Grail War". What about becoming the "King of the Holy Grail"? This is the perfect question to ask about the wine glass!"
Rider changed his serious tone just now, and smiled mischievously, and then he spoke as if talking to himself.
"Ah, speaking of which, there is another person here who claims to be the "King"~"
"...let's stop joking, bastard!"
As if responding to Rider's unclear words, a dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone.
That voice and that light made Saber and Irisviel's bodies stiffen immediately.
"Archer, why are you here..."
Chapter 66 The King's Feast (Part [-])
"Archer, why are you here..."
Saber asked sharply, but the poised Rider answered.
"Ah, when I saw him on the street, I asked him to have a drink together, but he was still late, Jin Shining, but he walks differently from me, so you can't blame him."
Archer in armor proudly looked down at Rider sitting on the ground with ruby eyes.
"It's really a pity that you chose such a crappy place to hold a banquet. You only have such a taste. How can you apologize for causing me to come here on purpose?"
"Don't say that, come on, a drink for being late!"
Rider smiled boldly and handed the spoon full of wine to Archer.
Archer glanced at him, then simply took the spoon and drank the wine inside.
Irisviel remembered the "challenge" Saber had mentioned earlier.
Since Archer, the unidentified golden hero, claimed to be the "King", it was impossible for him to refuse the wine offered by Rider.
"What kind of cheap wine is this? Do you think this kind of wine can really measure the character of a hero?"
Archer said with disgust.
"Really? It's the best wine in the local market."
"That's because you don't know real wine, you bastard!"
A vortex of void space appeared around Archer who sneered.
But what appeared this time was not a treasure, but a series of wine utensils inlaid with dazzling gemstones. The heavy gold bottle was filled with a colorless and clear liquid.
"Look carefully, see clearly, this is the "Wine of Kings"!"
"Oh~ I'm so touched."
Rider didn't mind Archer's tone, and happily poured the new wine into four golden cups.
Passed one of the cups to Lancer.
"Although you are not the "King", you still deserve the generosity of the "King" if you follow the way of chivalry, right, Jin Shining~"
"Hmph! Miscellaneous repair!"
Archer glanced at Saber, and didn't pay too much attention to Rider's words.
Saber was still very wary of Archer who didn't know the details, she looked at the wine in the golden bottle with some hesitation, but still took the glass that was handed to her.
"Ah~ it's delicious!!"
Rider took a sip, immediately rounded his eyes and praised.
Now even Saber's curiosity was aroused. Originally, this was not a competition to see who was more decent, but a contest of respecting each other with wine.
Lancer couldn't help sighing after taking a sip.
"Excellent wine indeed."
When the wine flowed into the throat, I only felt a strong sense of swelling in my head.
Saber felt that this was indeed a good wine that she had never tasted before. It was strong and quiet, mellow and refreshing, the strong fragrance filled the nostrils, and the whole person felt a sense of drifting.
"Great, this is definitely not a wine brewed by humans, it is drunk by gods."
Looking at Rider who was not hesitating to praise him, Archer couldn't help showing a leisurely smile, and sat down at some point, shaking the wine glass in his hand contentedly.
"Of course, whether it's wine or swords, I only store the best treasures in my treasury. In this way, the status of the king has been determined."
"Archer, the best of your wine is indeed worthy of the cup of treasure. Unfortunately, the holy grail is not a wine glass. You must first tell us what kind of ambition you have placed on the holy grail."
"You are not qualified to order this king, bastard! And this kind of question and answer has been separated from the premise of "competition" for the Holy Grail. In the final analysis, it is the thing of this king. For a long time it was lost from my treasury, but I am its owner."
Rider raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"So you mean, did you ever have the Holy Grail? Do you know what it is?"
"Do not."
Archer calmly denied and waited for Rider's questioning.
