Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

106 King's Banquet

Friends who have watched racing competitions know that when a car crosses the finish line, it must travel at full speed. After crossing the finish line, it needs to continue to slide on the track, gradually slow down, and finally stop.

The finish line is the Einzbern Forest, but the actual parking spot is in front of the castle gate.

The Einzbern forest is covered with a large-scale barrier, and a group of people breaking in so blatantly will naturally trigger the barrier's early warning and defense mechanism.

Feeling the suppression of the barrier, Rider and Archer did one thing at the same time during the deceleration - destroying the barrier, specifically destroying the forest.

Although the core of the enchantment is inside the castle, it is not enough to have only one core for such a large-scale enchantment. It also needs a base point to stably transform and spread the spiritual power extracted from the leylines to the outside.And these base points are set in the lush and endless forest outside the castle.

Destroying the forest is the basic point of destroying the enchantment, which is equivalent to destroying the enchantment itself.

Irisviel, who was connected to the barrier, was inevitably affected. The alarm caused by the intruder and the magic disorder caused by the destruction of the barrier disrupted her magic circuit, almost causing her to faint on the spot.

She didn't need to say more, Saber already knew what happened, the intruder didn't hide his existence, and charged directly from the front.

Although we don't know the exact number of intruders, the thunder outside the window and the unrestrained manner indicated that Rider was among them.

Considering the mobility of the chariot, it was too late to retreat at this time, so we had to face it openly.

Having made such a judgment, Saber and Irisviel went to the terrace outside the entrance together, where they should be able to meet the enemies who attacked from the front.

However, when the two saw the intruder standing in the hall with their chests upright through the moonlight drawn in by the skylight, they were immediately speechless.

The combination of Archer, Rider, and Assassin was already strange enough, what was even stranger was the outfits of the three of them.

Three people, three different painting styles, and none of them are fighting.

You are not here for an outing, are you? ——Although it was a bit impolite, Irisviel really thought so.

And the next scene also proved her idea was right.

"Yo, Saber, I heard that you have a castle, so I want to take a look—how did it become like this?"

Rider showed his snow-white teeth without any guilt, and grinned. At the same time, he twisted his neck as if tired, making a rattling sound.

"There are so many trees in the yard, it's really inconvenient to get in and out. I almost lost my way before I reached the city gate. This king has already helped you cut down some trees, you should thank this king."

"Rider, you...you..."

Saber with a serious expression wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Hey, Rider, look at Saber's expression, you haven't told her what you want to do, have you?" Archer rolled over and got out of the car, and put the Golden Babylon into the King's Treasure while Shinji was stunned.

Yes, that's right, he put the motorcycle in, but Scathach didn't have such a treasure, so he could only park the motorcycle in the corner of the entrance.

"Yeah, I'm going to say it now. But before that, King of Knights, don't wear that rigid armor, and change into the clothes of this era like us." Rider said, patting the chest on his chest with his hand. The grand strategy logo seems to be showing off.

"...No matter how rigid Saber's armor is, it's better than your cheap T-shirt and jeans."

Shinji's expression betrayed his heart, and Weber and Irisviel were also betrayed by their expressions.

"I want to go home soon" was written on the former's face.

"What the hell are you trying to do" was written on the latter's face, and Saber asked this question for her.

"Don't you understand after reading it?" Rider said as he picked up the wine barrel from the gap in the chariot, "Okay, don't be in a daze there, and lead the way. Isn't there a courtyard suitable for holding banquets here? In this dilapidated Drinking in the city is a shame."

Saber sighed helplessly, the anger accumulated in her chest disappeared, and she couldn't maintain her fighting spirit in the face of a non-hostile opponent.

Irisviel was also in the same mood. Although she was angry that our enchantment was destroyed, she couldn't hate her no matter what she saw when she saw the other party's non-tense smile.

"Saber, what should we do? It looks like they really came to drink..."

"No, it's a challenge."

Although Saber has put away her fighting spirit, her expression is still serious.

"challenge?"

"Yes. Those standing here tonight are all kings of a country. Winning or losing at the wine table is equal to a bloodless battle"

Perhaps hearing Saber's whisper, the King of Conquerors nodded with a smile.

"Hmph, you know it very well. Since you can't face each other with swords, let's use wine to decide the outcome. Knight King, this king will not let you go tonight, so be prepared."

Rider once said that he would not fight Saber until Saber and Lancer were victorious. It was an agreement exchanged by Heroic Spirits at the stake of their own dignity, and he would not renege on it, so he chose to fight Saber in this way.

"Interesting, I'm willing to accept."

Saber accepted the challenge resolutely, her face exuding the same awe-inspiring aura as when she was on the battlefield.Things have evolved to this point, and Irisviel finally understands that this is not a joke, but the beginning of a real victory.

……

The garden in the atrium of the castle was chosen as the venue for the banquet.

The scars from the night before yesterday's battle didn't spread to this place, and it wouldn't be embarrassing to entertain guests, but Archer was still very dissatisfied with this place.

"To choose such a small and breathless place to hold the 'King's Banquet', the bastards only have this bit of taste."

Archer didn't specify who the 'bastard' refers to specifically, it could be Rider who hosted the banquet, Saber who provided the venue, or both.

"Don't say that, Archer." Before Rider and Saber spoke, Shinji spoke first, "This is already the place with the best environment in Fuyuki City. There was a luxurious hotel that might suit your taste, but there It was bombed two days ago."

"Shut up, magician." Archer stared arrogantly at Shen Er with bright red eyes like rubies, "If you want to speak to this king, you should at least remove your disguise. Hiding your head and showing your tail in front of the king is the greatest disrespect."

Shen Er knew Archer's character, and knew that his eyesight was on the same level as Scathach's, so he was not angry, but bowed humbly.

"I apologize to the three of you. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I can't show my true colors. Please forgive me."

It's actually not difficult to get along with Archer, as long as you don't argue with him, follow him and make him feel happy, he won't care about you.

"The attitude is quite sincere, so I won't pursue your disrespect this time." Sure enough, Archer snorted softly, and stopped talking to Shinji, and didn't even bring up his dissatisfaction with the "venue".

Saber and Rider also showed the majesty of the king, and laughed it off. Rider knocked off the lid of the wine barrel with his bony fist, and the mellow aroma of red wine immediately permeated the air in the atrium at night.

"The King's Banquet" has begun.
