Looking at the two confused people, Hui Jin grinned, "Sure enough, that guy who talks to himself is planning to come here without even telling you."

Hui Jing's words failed to clear up the confusion for the two of them, but only made them more confused. Who is the guy talking to himself?

Just when the two were confused, a burst of thunder suddenly came from the horizon, followed by the sound of trees being hit and the low cry of cows. Saber instantly remembered who it was.

Hastily putting on her armor, Saber protected Ai Li behind her, watching the thunder and the roar of cattle getting closer and closer, holding the long sword in her hand. She watched this uninvited guest warily.

A road was opened in the dense bushes surrounding Einzbern Castle, and the lightning dissipated. Rider was seen wearing a white otaku T-shirt, carrying an oak barrel on his shoulder, standing beside himself.

On top of the chariot, he smiled heroically

"Hahaha, I'm sorry I'm late. The road outside this castle is a bit winding and not easy to walk, so I'll open a way for you, hahahaha."

Saber frowned, pointed the long sword in her hand at the heroic man on the chariot, and asked in a deep voice, "Rider, what are you doing out of nowhere?"

The rider was stunned when he heard this, looked at Ashes aside, and asked curiously, "Why, didn't you tell her? Didn't you come earlier than me?"

Hui Jing laughed, shrugged, and said to Rider, "I didn't come long before you, and why do you still need me to handle the banquet you held and notify the guests?"

"Hahaha, that's right! Saber, we are not here to fight today, but to drink. How about it? Looking at your magnificent castle, is there no place suitable for drinking? How about lending it to the king for a banquet? Of course.

You are also one of the guests!" Rider turned around and watched Saber begin to commandeer the venue.

Behind her, Ellie felt a little incomprehensible. All the Holy Grail War she knew was about intrigues, hiding from each other, and plotting against each other. The scene in front of her made her a little unsure about paying attention. Moreover, Kiritsugu was not here, so it was even harder to make a decision.

I couldn't help but ask Saber softly, "Saber, look at this..."

"Of course, drinking is also a battlefield. He is the king, and I am also the king. Even drinking is full of challenges! For us, the drinking game is also a battle!" Saber looked directly at the rider on the chariot and said loudly

arrive.

Ellie sighed helplessly and said to Saber, "Okay, I know, there is a nice square in the backyard for you to drink." After saying this, she turned around and walked towards the backyard of the castle.

Several people followed Ai Li to a courtyard behind the castle. It was obviously winter but it was full of flowers. It was really incredible. Four flower beds surrounded a small platform in the middle, and several followers faced each other.

Sit, sit in the center of the platform.

Their respective masters and nominal masters stood not far behind their respective servants, looking at the three protagonists of the banquet sitting in the center of the venue.

Rider smashed the lid of the wine barrel he brought with his fist, took out the wine utensils for serving wine, and took a big sip himself. "It is said... that the Holy Grail will only belong to the person who matches it. And the one here is

The battle is all about the identification ceremony."

After saying that, Rider took another spoonful of wine and handed it to Saber beside him. Saber took the wine that was handed to him seriously, drank it down, and said to the two of them, "So, you want to compete with us first." Who is more qualified for this?"

Rider poured himself another spoonful of wine, drank it, and said to Saber, "That's right. You and I both have the title of king and we don't want to give it up, so that's all! Now is the best time." It's the right time to ask you if you are qualified to hold the Holy Grail. It's the perfect time to ask with a wine glass. You think so too!" After saying this, he took another drink and handed it to the ashes beside him.

Ashes took the wine, took a sip, then looked at the two of them and said, "Holy Grail? I don't need that kind of thing! Not to mention whether it can fulfill my wish, even if it can, I won't go for it." It would be too ridiculous and boring to use the Holy Grail to fulfill wishes... Also, Rider, the wine you bought is really subpar."

After saying this, Ash threw Rider's wine spoon back into the barrel and looked at Rider with disdain, who was confused by what he said.

In fact, it's not that the wine brought by the emperor is not good, it's just that Ashes has been teased in the Marvel world before.

At this moment, a burst of golden powder appeared out of thin air on the side of the courtyard, and a shining golden guy appeared in everyone's sight.

"The farce ends here, Miscellaneous Cultivator..." The gleaming Archer slowly walked toward the crowd. His body was covered in jeweled armor, which made people want to be friends with him.

Seeing Archer arriving, Saber frowned, looked at him warily and asked, "Archer, why are you here?"

Rider on the side took the lead in taking the question and answered, "Haha, I met him when I was wandering on the street, so I invited him over." Then he turned to look at Archer and said, "You are really slow to come here. , Jin Pika. Yeah, no wonder, you walked and I drove, haha!"

Archer ignored Rider's teasing, turned his head, looked at the surrounding scenery, and said displeasedly, "Why did you choose such a boring place to hold the 'King's Banquet'? How are you going to make my trip go in vain?" How about making amends for being rude?"

"Don't be so boring! Let's have a drink first and then talk about it!" Rider laughed, took out the spoon from the barrel and handed it to Archer.

Archer frowned and sniffed the wine in the glass, with a look of disdain on his face, "What kind of garbage is this? Do you think this kind of thing can truly test the qualifications of a hero?"

"Really? This guy said the same thing. Is the wine I bought so bad? It's obviously the best wine on the market." Rider looked at the wine he bought in despair.

"That's because you have never drank real wine before, so you think so! Look at this, this is the real wine of the king." As Archer spoke, several cups and a pot of wine appeared in his hand. They were all shining with gold. , bejeweled.

"Oh! It's really top-notch stuff." Rider looked at the cup and wine bottle that Archer threw to him with bright eyes, looking like he couldn't wait to have a taste.

After pouring everyone a glass of wine, Rider finally couldn't help but ask Ashes, "Which one, you said you don't want the Holy Grail? Then why did you come here to participate in the Holy Grail War? And who are you?"

Rider's question also stopped everyone holding wine glasses. So far, except for Saber, no one knows Ashes' job description and origin, and no one knows his purpose.

"Oh? Are you asking me? If I am a king, why would you be the first to ask me questions? As for who I am... just call me Ashes." Ashes chuckled and took a sip of the golden cup.

After tasting the wine, Ashes frowned slightly, divinity... The wine in the cup had a faint divinity.

Seeing Hui Jin frowning slightly, Rider couldn't help but feel curious, "What's wrong? It's not to your taste. It's impossible. Just smelling this smell makes me a little bit uncontrollable." Archer was also a little strange. He brought it with him.

It’s the best, how could anyone not like it!

But Hui Jin shook his head gently and said, "You misunderstood. It's not that you don't like this condolence, it's just that you don't like the things in it." After saying that, he drank all the wine in his cup.

Ashes' words surprised both Saber and Rider. Could it be that the thing mixed in the wine was poison? No, if it was poison, he wouldn't have said it and then drank it all. What was it?

Archer frowned, put down his wine glass, looked at the ashes and said, "You idiot, what do you think is in my wine! Do you want to die?"

Hui Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Archer and said, "Don't you know it yourself? With the faint divinity exuding in the wine..."

Ashes' answer surprised everyone. Rider couldn't wait to drink the wine in front of him and shouted, "Wow, it's so delicious. Is this the so-called divine wine! It's really the best." Even

Saber was a little surprised after taking a bite.

Archer raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, in this king's treasure house, whether it is swords or wine, I only collect the best! The best!" After saying this, he suddenly stared straight at Ashes and asked, "You guy

, to be able to taste it is divine, I really didn’t expect it.”
