Paradise: Ready Player One

Artoria looked out of the window, already somewhat sure of the identity of the intruder.

"Listen to this movement, it should be Rider"

"Go and see what the other party wants to do"

When Irisviel and the two arrived at the gate of the castle following the sound, they saw that Rider had already rushed in driving the carriage, leaving the hall in a mess.

Just when Artoria was about to question her, her gaze fell on Rider, and she couldn't help being taken aback.

"Yo, Saber"

Rider greeted casually, as if he didn't realize that there was something wrong with breaking into the door.

Instead, he straightened his chest to meet Artoria's gaze, showing her modern attire to her.

Tonight's Rider didn't look like an ancient king at all, more like a tourist going out on a trip.

The upper body is a white T-shirt, and the lower body is a pair of dark jeans. The image of the whole person looks out of place with the retro chariot under him.

As for his Master Weber, he was sitting slumped at the back of the chariot, looking like he was about to collapse.

That's right, most people really can't sit on Rider's chariot.

"I heard that you have a castle, so I came to have a look. I didn't expect it to be such a dead place."

Rider looked around, the interior decoration of the castle was magnificent, but it was extraordinarily deserted and lifeless, which made him a little disgusted.

He didn't see himself as an outsider at all.

Artoria and Irisviel couldn't get in the conversation at all.

"By the way, why are you wearing this set of armor that spoils the scenery, shouldn't you be wearing modern clothes like me tonight?"

"Rider, what are you doing here?"

Arturia couldn't understand what Rider was saying at all. She knew every word, but when they were put together, it was incomprehensible.

But there was one thing Arturia could see, at least Rider didn't come here to fight her.

Even if you really want to fight, it's not your turn at the moment.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Rider scratched his beard, recalled for a moment, then patted his forehead in embarrassment.

"It seems that I haven't mentioned it to you, but it's not too late to say it now. I plan to invite the master of Laer to hold a banquet. After searching for a long time, you are the most suitable place."

"Banquet?!"

Artoria suddenly didn't know what to say, and always felt that her thoughts were not on the same channel as the other followers.

They are all life-and-death competitors, and you are still in the mood to drink together.

"Why don't you join us, Saber?"

The premeditated Rider warmly invited, and before Artoria could answer, he spoke first.

"Could it be that the majestic King of Knights would be afraid to have a drink with us?"

As the king of a country, Arturia is naturally outstanding in strategy and wisdom, and she can undoubtedly see that the opponent is using aggressive tactics.

The specific effect of this elementary method still depends on the user himself.

With a character like Rider, the effect is absolutely outstanding.

Arturia was immediately hooked. As a king and knight, how could she allow herself to show her timidity in front of her opponent.

"It's not just about drinking, stop looking down on people!"

"Hahaha, this is right for your king's status"

Rider was very satisfied, and continued to speak.

"By the way, is there any place suitable for drinking here? The dust in this room will stain my wine."

It's a pity that this beautiful and luxurious castle has not been taken care of for a long time.

Artoria also realized now that she was hit.

But the words had already been spoken, so he quietly glanced at Irisviel, seeing her nodding her head in agreement, he was secretly relieved, and led Rider to an empty courtyard in the castle.

Chapter 296

Rider followed behind with the barrel on his shoulders. As for Weber, he was relieved now, and his complexion looked a lot better, but his behavior was still somewhat reserved.

I don't know if it's because the two beauties are walking in front.

"You said that the purpose of Rider's trip is just to find us for a drink?"

Irisviel asked in a low voice.

As a woman, she couldn't understand Rider's behavior.

Artoria, on the other hand, made a reasonable interpretation from another angle.

"This is a challenge!"

"challenge?"

Irisviel looked confused, not knowing why Artoria said that,

"Yes, I am the king, and he is also the king! Since we can't fight now, let's fight at the wine table!"

"Is that so?"

Seeing the seriousness written on Arturia's face, Irisviel said that it was because of her shallow knowledge.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's it!"

Rider's majestic voice came from behind, his ears were very good, and he could clearly hear the whispers of the two people in front of him.

But at the beginning, whether he really thought about it this way, or just because of his greed, he knew for himself.

A group of people came to the garden in the middle of the castle.

Rider put the wine barrel down, smashed the lid with a punch, and the smell of red wine filled the air.

Then take out the wooden wine case, scoop up the wine, and drink it up first.

"It's not a good deal, Laer and her master are also invited, why don't you see them coming?"

Artoria sat down facing Rider, and asked.

"Maybe it's still on the way, since that guy promised me, he won't break his promise"

Rider was not in a hurry at all, he tasted the mellow aroma of the red wine in his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face.

The next second, the two of them noticed something at the same time, looked up, and saw a blue and white figure passing over the castle, and then Chen Ming's figure fell lightly.

"I didn't expect to be trusted so much by the King of Conquerors. It's a great honor."

Chen Ming said with a smile on his face, being recognized by the King of Conquerors is more or less a capital that can be used to brag.

"You really picked the best time"

As Rider spoke, he was going to scoop up a bowl of wine for Chen Ming himself.

"Couldn't you just bring a wine case as a container?"

Chen Ming looked at the wine that was used by Rider just now, and he was somewhat shocked.

It's fine if it's the one used by Artoria, Chen Ming won't mind, but it's too much for you, a bearded Rider, to share a vessel with him.

"Is there something wrong?"

Rider didn't realize the problem yet.

On the other hand, Artoria, who didn't take it seriously at first, also realized that the banquet arranged by Rider was somewhat rudimentary after listening to Chen Ming's words.

Not to mention drinking utensils, there is not even a plate of appetizers.

Thinking back to the year when I returned home in triumph, the banquet held with the soldiers under my command was quite extravagant.

"Forget it, I shouldn't expect anything from you"

Chen Ming had already guessed that this would be the case, so he clapped his hands, and the door of the different dimension opened.

After a while, the three sisters headed by Iluli brought out brand new utensils and a table full of delicacies.

"Let's sit down together"

Chen Ming greeted the other two masters and said.

Scathach also revealed his true body and sat aside.

It is a miracle that three kings from different eras sit together.

"This is what a banquet looks like"

Chen Ming seized the opportunity and put on a show in front of the two kings.

"This preparation is too rich.".z.br>

The dumb hair on the top of Artoria's head swayed from side to side, and she inadvertently swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. The smell of food made her body agitated.

The essence of a foodie was revealed under the inspiration of Chen Ming.

"It's okay, but it's a pity that the chef I know can't bring it here"

Chen Ming knew Artoria's appetite well, so he prepared more.

"This is why you don't understand, Master of Laer, in fact, there are only two things that are most important in holding a banquet, one is the wine, and the other is the person who drinks with you!"

Rider felt that he was being compared, so he hurriedly tried to find his way back.

"You are right to say that, but why do I feel that you are more like making excuses for yourself?"

"……Hahaha"

Rider let out a trademark big laugh, and then abruptly skipped this topic.

"It is said that the Holy Grail is destined to be obtained by the most suitable person, and the battle in Fuyuki City is a ceremony to select such a person, but if it is just a selection, there is no need to shed blood at all, as long as the heroic spirits can understand each other. Whichever is lower, then the answer will naturally be found.”

"Assessing the ownership of the Holy Grail based on the pattern, isn't it just to see who can draw the best pancakes? Don't you think it's funny?"

Chen Ming retorted unceremoniously, and filled up the wine for Artoria.
