People are in death, unlimited sword control at the beginning.

The direction they were heading towards was the Einzbern family's base in Fuyuki City, which was covered by a barrier.

"Has it recovered yet?"

Ailin was slightly surprised to see the Conqueror King's mount.

You know, the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull and the Divine Wheel were destroyed by Ein last night when Iskandar appeared to stop himself from fighting with Artoria and Diarmuid.

However, less than a day had passed and he had fully recovered.

As expected, a sublimated Noble Phantasm cannot be judged by common sense.

In a flash, Ailin followed closely behind the wheels of the Conqueror King's Divine Power and flew towards the Einzbern castle.

On the way, Ailin once again discovered the evil taste of the Conqueror King Iskandar.

With the power of the Godly Wheel, King of Conquerors Iskandar could actually land directly from the air into the courtyard of the Einzbern castle.

However, King of Conquerors Iskandar gave up on entering the castle from the air. Instead, he placed his Divine Wheel on the ground and let the Flying-hoofed Thunder Bull pull the Divine Wheel and rampage through the forest.

A large amount of lightning burst out from the wheels of the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull and the Divine Wheel, destroying the trees in front of them and forcibly carving out a three-meter-wide driveway in the suburban forest.

Ailin, who was following behind King of Conquerors Iskandar, suddenly looked back.

The reactions of dozens of Servants appeared in Ailin's spiritual perception.

The auras of these Servants vary in strength, and each one has a black cloak and a white bone mask.

This is the Type-Moon world.

Otherwise, Ailin might have thought that they were small Hollows that had escaped from Hueco Mundo.

When Ailin said they were small fry, he was not referring to their strength, but their size.

In terms of strength, there are also people among these dozens of auras who are close to Iskandar.

Of course, even though these people had strong auras, in Ailin's view, they were just ants that could be killed in a matter of minutes.

The strength of a Heroic Spirit is largely determined by his Noble Phantasms, in addition to his ability values.

As it happened, Ailin didn't have much else in his hands, but he had a lot of Zanpakuto that were comparable to Noble Phantasms.

Moreover, there are quite a few Zanpakutō that are powerful enough to destroy all the Servants behind them with a single blow.

Even without their Zanpakutō, relying solely on their own swordsmanship, these Servants could only last about thirty seconds in Alin's hands at best.

"All the Assassins have been dispatched by Kotomine Kirei..."

"Could it be that Gilgamesh is now mixed up with Kotomine Kirei?"

After secretly estimating the number of Assassins in his mind, Ailin thought so.

In the Holy Grail War, no one has ever commanded two Servants as a Master.

If Kotomine Kirei wants to become Gilgamesh's Master, his own Servant must be replaced.

"Forget it. As long as Tousaka Tokiomi doesn't die, there will be no one to take the blame for the Type-Moon world."

Although Tousaka Tokiomi is Sakura's father, Ailin has no intention of saving him.

After all, Tōsaka Tokiomi is a true magician who can give up everything for the sake of magic.

Even if it means breaking the rules.

Such people have no emotions.

Even his wife, Aoi Toosaka, is seen as an "excellent mother" rather than his lover in Tosaka Tokiomi's eyes.

"Everything is Tokiomi's fault" was not just talk.

"Rumble..."

Although Einzbern's castle is equipped with a defensive barrier that can hide the castle so that it will not be discovered by ordinary people, it also has a certain degree of defensive power.

However, in the face of the distant devastation and domination of the Conqueror King Iskandar, the defense of this barrier was no different from glass and was directly shattered by the Conqueror King's divine wheels.

"Ara ala ala..."

On the Divine Wheel, King of Conquerors Iskandar pulled the reins of the Flying-hoofed Thunder Bull, allowing the Flying-hoofed Thunder Bull to carry the Divine Wheel directly through the castle gate and into the castle hall.

“Hey, Saber.”

In the castle, Artoria and Irisviel heard the noise and came to the hall, where they saw King of Conquerors Iskandar waving at Artoria on the Wheel of Might.

"I heard you had a castle, so I came to take a look."

"Now that I look at it, it really is a lifeless place."

Above the castle, after hearing the words of King of Conquerors Iskandar, Ailin couldn't help but nod.

Although, the Einzbern castle was brightly lit, and there were many maids cleaning or preparing food.

However, Ailin did not feel the slightest sense of "popularity" in this castle.

Because everyone living in this castle, including Irisviel, is an android of the Einzbern family.

In the magic world, such artificial people are called "props" and are not human.

It is for this reason that King Iskandar of Conquerors said that this brightly lit castle was lifeless.

"Rider, what are you doing here?"

Altria protected Irisviel behind her, blue and white armor appearing on her body.

"Hey, Saber, don't you see that I'm wearing modern clothes?"

Seeing Saber take a fighting stance, King of Conquerors Iskandar couldn’t help but pat his chest, then he carried a barrel on the Kamuy Wheel on his shoulder, patted the barrel and said, “Can’t you see this?”

"Of course I came to have a drink with you."

"Alright Saber, hurry up and lead the way."

“Let’s find a patio that’s good for drinking.”

"I can't drink happily in this lifeless castle."

Irisviel glanced at Altria with concern. She suspected that King of Conquerors Iskandar's talk of drinking might be some conspiracy.

However, contrary to Irisviel's expectations, upon hearing the words of King of Conquerors Iskandar, Artoria instead dispelled her armor.

"Saber..."

"Don't worry, Irisviel."

"I don't sense any fighting spirit from Rider."

"I guess this guy really came here to drink."

"Ah."

After hearing Altria's answer, Irisviel heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Irisviel also acted like a hostess, brought Iskandar to the castle courtyard, and stepped aside with Waver, the master of King of Conquerors Iskandar.

They both knew that those two were the real protagonists of this drinking party.

They were not even company.

In the center of the courtyard, Artoria and King of Conquerors Iskandar sat opposite each other.

"Oh!"

King of Conquerors Iskandar smashed the lid of the wine barrel with one punch, and red wine splashed out of the barrel.

Picking up the ladle, King Iskandar of Conquerors scooped a ladle of wine from the barrel and brought it to his mouth to drink.

"Ha——" After drinking this spoonful of wine, King of Conquerors Iskandar showed an expression of enjoyment.

"King Knight, I heard that the Holy Grail is destined to be obtained by the most suitable person."

"And the battle between all the Servants and magicians in Fuyuki City is the selection ceremony for the Holy Grail."

"Seven Servants and seven magicians, but only one Servant and magician succeeded in obtaining the Holy Grail."

"According to my thinking, since it is a selection ceremony, we will most likely be able to select the most suitable candidate for the Holy Grail without the need for bloodshed."

"I'm sure you, the Knight King, can understand this."

Altria was stunned for a moment.

This bloodless idea proposed by King of Conquerors Iskandar was something that Artoria had never thought of before.

As for what Iskandar said, she could understand it, and Altria had no way to refute it.

After all, Altria herself became the King of Great Britain by pulling out the "Sword of the King's Choice", also known as the Excalibur, and is also recognized as the "King of Knights" by all knights.

Thinking of this, Altria nodded.

"Indeed."

"But, King of Conquerors, what kind of selection method do you plan to use to replace the bloody and sacrificial battle selection?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

King of Conquerors Iskandar laughed when his proposal was approved by Artoria.

"King Knight, those who participated in the Holy Grail War are all heroes who left myths and legends in history."

"Then, as long as everyone is honest with each other and understands each other's situation, then the answer to who is higher and who is lower will naturally emerge."

Having said that, King Iskandar of Conquerors scooped another spoonful of wine from the wine barrel with the wooden spoon in his hand and handed it to Artoria.

Altria did not refuse. She took the wooden spoon and drank the wine in it.

"And then? The King of Conquerors."

"Do you want to compare your respective positions with me now?"

"exactly!"

King of Conquerors Iskandar took the wooden spoon handed to him by Altria with a proud expression on his face.

"I am the Conqueror King of the Kingdom of Macedonia, and you are the famous Knight King of Great Britain."

"As kings, neither of us can give in. Fighting is inevitable."

"But since this is a bloodless selection, that means that what we are going to conduct now is more like a 'Holy Grail Quiz' than a 'Holy Grail War'."

"Based on your questions and everyone's answers, we will select the 'king' who is most qualified to possess the Holy Grail."

"Tsk, Iskander, I don't like what you said."

The black and red spirit particles gathered into the appearance of Ailin: "You are the king, but I am not."

"Don't tell me that you are the only ones who invited me to your banquet and will ultimately decide who will own the Holy Grail."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll turn hostile immediately and kick you out first."

"Berserker?"

Artoria was surprised to see Aelin appear.

However, after listening to what Aelin said, Artoria realized that King of Conquerors Iskandar had actually invited other people.

Come to think of it, since King of Conquerors Iskandar wants to select the most suitable person for the Holy Grail without bloodshed, he naturally has to invite the remaining Servants.

Otherwise, the "Holy Grail Quiz" selection recognized only by the two of them would be nothing more than a clownish act that makes people laugh.

“Hahaha, Berserker, as long as you can defeat us in terms of courage and get our approval, and we hand over the Holy Grail to you, then you will be the king of this Holy Grail War.”

"I am right, Knight King."

"Um."

Altria nodded, agreeing with Iskandar's statement.

As the only victor in the battle among the seven Servants, he could naturally be considered the "King" of this Holy Grail War.

"Let's stop this nonsense!"

"The offenders."

The golden light shone in the night, and the figure of the Hero King Gilgamesh emerged from the golden light and slowly walked towards the three people present.

Because of the appearance of Aelin, Artoria did not show any surprise at the appearance of the Hero King Gilgamesh.

Obviously, those who were invited by King of Conquerors Iskandar to participate in the "Holy Grail Quiz" selection ceremony were all recognized by the King of Conquerors and were likely to obtain the Holy Grail.

"Hey, Kinpika, you're a little late."

Seeing Gilgamesh, King of Conquerors Iskandar looked up and said jokingly, "But I can understand that."

"After all, you are different from me. You came here on foot, so a little later is acceptable."

"Ah……"

King of Heroes Gilgamesh showed a disdainful expression on his face.

“You bastard, even though I am not descending as a Rider, it does not mean that I do not have a flying Noble Phantasm.”

"Countless years ago, this king was already soaring in the sky."

Gilgamesh did not lie in this statement.

As a golden city that can collect all the treasures in the world, there is naturally no shortage of treasures.

The most powerful flying weapon, "Vimaya", has performance far superior to that of modern fighter planes.

It even comes with the original mushroom egg on top.

Compared with Vimaya, whether in terms of level, practicality, or style, the Conqueror King Iskandar's Divine Wheel is several levels lower.

After looking around, Hero King Gilgamesh frowned.

"You bastards, you actually held a banquet to entertain me in such a lifeless place?"

"How do you want to apologize for bothering me to come to a place like this?"

It has to be said that the aura of the Hero King Gilgamesh is very powerful.

Just a frown and a dissatisfied tone frightened Irisviel and Waver who were far away.

Irisviel was fine. Although there was fear in her eyes, she was still able to stand.

Weber was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"Don't say that, Gimpika."

King Iskandar of Conquest scooped a spoonful of wine and handed it to Gilgamesh: "Come on, as the price for being late, you have to drink a glass of wine first."

Artoria stood up and stared at the Hero King Gilgamesh.

With this posture, even if the Hero King Gilgamesh gets angry, she can counterattack in the best posture at the first time.

However, contrary to Artoria's expectations, Gilgamesh, who did not take everyone seriously, was not angry about the "penalty drink" mentioned by the Conqueror King Iskandar. Instead, he took the wooden spoon handed over by Iskandar, brought it to his mouth, and prepared to drink it.

However, when Gilgamesh smelled the wine, he immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Huh, what kind of cheap stuff is this?" (End of this chapter)
