He used his thumb instead of the screwdriver to pry off the bottle cap, opened his mouth and drank the wine.
In fact, he still doesn't like drinking very much, but just because he doesn't like drinking doesn't mean that the "alcohol" that accompanies the continuous growth of human civilization is really useless.
"It doesn't matter if you're drunk today or if you're a mess behind. Cover yourself with a quilt under the bridge, and say yes, yes, yes, yes to everyone you meet."
——At least it’s useful now.
----------------
Gilgamesh was not interested in the magic of the so-called Lord of the El-Melloi family, nor was he interested in the cliques of other servants. He was only very interested in the performances of foreigners.
Because of this, after the foreigners announced that "tonight's battle is over," Gilgamesh left the scene and reappeared on the sofa in the Tohsaka family's living room. He took out the Clay Tablet of Destiny and watched the information on it gradually sink in. meditation.
"Tomorrow may be the last battle of this Holy Grail War... It's really disappointing."
"What exactly is the message recorded on the clay tablet, Gilgamesh?"
Emiya Shirou's stern voice also came from the other side, and Gilgamesh glanced at Emiya Shirou who spoke and smiled, but he had no intention of explaining anything to him.
"If you are afraid that I am planning something, then express your attitude with actual actions, fake. Your highest glory as a fake is to give your all as an actor on the stage and shine.
"Are you expecting me to do this?"
Shirou Emiya held his hand towards Gilgamesh, and the brilliance of the spirit in his hand also gathered into Medea's Noble Phantasm Dagger [Ten Thousand Talisman Must Break the Ring].
As long as the dagger is stabbed at the still sleeping Master [Kotomine Kirei], Emiya Shirou can forcibly dissolve the contract between the servant and the Master - and naturally he can also kill Gilgamesh and his Master [Tohsaka] Tokiomi's contract was severed.
No matter what Gilgamesh wants to do next or how he wants to remain in the world, the servants without their master will inevitably be extremely restricted.
Even Medea, the witch of the gods who is very accomplished in magic, cannot completely bypass the Holy Grail system, remove her own spiritual base from the Holy Grail War system and preserve it in the world in other ways. She still has to fight for the Holy Grail to achieve what she wants to preserve in the world. worldly wishes.
Even if Gilgamesh could exploit loopholes better than Medea, the Goddess Witch, Shirou Emiya would never watch him solve the problem of "no master".
"The fake is indeed a fake, and even the threat is so ridiculous... If you think it is effective and you still want to do it, then go ahead and do it."
Gilgamesh sneered and dismissed the tablet of destiny in his hand, stood up and left the sofa towards the second floor.
Emiya Shirou frowned deeply, not knowing what Gilgamesh meant, but he still decided to follow Gilgamesh after hesitating for a while.
Gilgamesh came to Tohsaka Sakura's room with a very clear goal. He put his hand on the doorknob and pushed the door open without hesitation. He turned on the light switch on the wall and then folded his hands on his chest. He looked directly at Sakura Tohsaka, who was awakened by the bright light and sound in the room.
"The king has something to tell you."
Tohsaka Sakura woke up after hearing Gilgamesh's voice. She sat up from the bed and looked at her father's servant, the Hero King Gilgamesh, who was standing at the door.
Her past few days of learning about magic and the Holy Grail War have also made her understand what the name 'Gilgamesh' really means, and she knows what rituals her father participated in.
Tohsaka Sakura just glanced at Gilgamesh and then lowered her head, not looking at Gilgamesh.
To this day, she still doesn't know what attitude to use to deal with this 'oldest king of mankind', nor does she know how to get along with 'the oldest king of mankind'.
"……Um."
"If there are no accidents tomorrow, it will be the last day of the Holy Grail War. Therefore, I will wake up your father tomorrow and ask him to accompany me on the expedition to witness the end of this Holy Grail War."
Tohsaka Sakura hesitated for a moment before trying to say, "Thank you?"
"There is no need to thank me," Gilgamesh said calmly, "because you will follow me on the expedition tomorrow, and use your own eyes to witness the end of this Holy Grail War... , this king will witness what choice you will make."
"my choice……?"
Even though Shirou Emiya still didn't know what Gilgamesh wanted to do with Tohsaka Sakura, Gilgamesh's idea of using Tohsaka Sakura was openly displayed on his face——
Emiya Shirou directly projected Ganjiang Moye tightly in his hand, staring at Gilgamesh, fully prepared to take action, but still suppressing the anger rising in his heart.
"What on earth do you want! Gilgamesh!"
"Cheap anger, cheap justice, cheap questioning... fakes are indeed fakes."
Gilgamesh didn't even bother to look at Shirou Emiya, but still looked directly at Sakura Tohsaka, and casually said his mockery of the 'Guardian'.
“Precisely because humans themselves have the [possibility of evil], [human evil (beasts)] is the obstacle that the human race has to overcome.
Even if the [Beast] does not appear, [Humanity's evil] will have the consequences of destroying mankind itself - in many cases, there is no need for the [Beast] to appear, and [Humanity's evil] will also destroy itself.
As a guardian, haven't you done many similar things?
Killing, killing, never-ending killing.
As long as [humanity's evil] breeds evil consequences that will destroy mankind itself, you will destroy everyone or things related to [bringing evil consequences]. But as long as mankind does not cross [evil] for a day, you, as scavengers, will The mission can never end.
Humanity wants to survive, so Alaya was born as a suppressive force.
But as 'Guardians', as Alaya's scavengers, your mission and what you fight against is the human race's desire to self-destruct - that is, humanity itself.
That's what's so ridiculous about you.
You are just as guardians who forcefully take over the steering wheel of mankind and step on the brakes to correct the crooked road. Then you forcefully step on the brakes to correct the crooked road and put human history back on the road. Then you step on the brake again and let mankind The history of the world is on its way, and it just repeats itself in an eternal cycle, that's all.
It's just that you have no idea what lies ahead on this road for the human race, because you are only ensuring that the human race will not crash and kill people, but you don't care which road the human race takes.
What's even more ridiculous is that the way to defeat [Evil Humanity] is clearly right in front of you, but you, the guardians who signed a contract with Alaya, turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear, and still only care about the present.
If you want to do it, do it, fake, I will leave your life for you just to laugh at you. "
42.The king doesn’t understand people’s hearts.jpg
Einzbern has more vitality than in the past few days.
Because of 'Angora Mainyu', the students of the Clock Tower Sovereign proposed to enter Einzbern's castle and make maximum use of the spiritual veins and magic workshops under Einzbern Castle to construct magic.
Irisviel agreed to the proposal after careful consideration.
Although the artificial human technology of the Einzbern family is indeed rare, for the monarch of the El-Melloi family, it is just 'rare' rather than 'never seen', and there is absolutely no need to target Ai for this. Inzbern.
The second is that even if the magic of creating the Great Holy Grail is mastered, it is impossible for another 'Justeza' with the third method to sacrifice and become the Great Holy Grail - unless the Great Holy Grail is stolen directly, otherwise the Holy Grail War will Even if the ritual can be recreated, it is impossible to use the 'principle of return of the servant' to get through the root cause.
Einzbern's artificial human technology is not a secret. It only takes a little research to find the source in the clock tower. After all, there is nothing strange about Einzbern.
The puppet masters who are currently active in Japan and have been sealed and designated by the Clock Tower are more attractive than the Einzberns.
The monarch of the El-Melloi family grabbed his student Weber Velvet and entered the Einzbern family's workshop. His servant Diarmuid and the conquering king Iskandar were free, and they were in the castle. At the top, there were stories about the Fiona Knights and Iskandar.
As the owner of Einzbern, she didn't know what to do now. She could only stand by the window of the castle corridor and silently stare at the castle courtyard, feeling a little sad in her heart.
"Alice Phil."
Arturia's words made her instinctively turn her eyes away, and she saw the heroic King of Knights in a black suit standing beside her from unknown time, which made her smile reluctantly.
"Sorry, Saber, I was so absorbed in thinking that I didn't notice when you came over."
"What are you thinking about? Irisviel."
Irisviel's face showed visible worry and confusion, but she didn't know how to express her complicated inner feelings.
After all, she is actually not that old, and she has lived a closed life in the Einzbern family all year round. She has no contact with outsiders at all. She only learns magic in the city-state and accepts the modification of her body by her compatriots.
Because the reason she was created was to win the Holy Grail War and complete the [Heavenly Grail], but this mission was destined not to be completed in this Holy Grail War.
It was just that she wanted the Holy Grail War to continue in the future and for Einzbern's tragic wish to complete the Heavenly Grail to be fulfilled, so she set an example and called on the masters of this Holy Grail to [...] Evil] problem is solved.
Even though Arturia was as ignorant of people's hearts as Tristan said, she was once the King of Britain, so she could naturally see the worry and confusion on Irisviel's face.
"Is it because of the Cup of Heaven?"
"Ah...am I being obvious?"
"Ah."
Arturia nodded, but did not continue to say anything.
Irisviel sighed deeply, and then looked at the courtyard below the window again.
"I am an artificial human created by the clan leader and my fellow clansmen in order to complete the Cup of Heaven. My clansmen have also placed their hopes on me to complete the Cup of Heaven. I have been working hard in this direction...but Now, no matter how hard I try, I can no longer fulfill the Einzbern family's tragic wish... I don't know what to do next, nor do I know what expression to use to face my fellow clan members and clan leader."
"That's it... I can't give you any useful advice in this regard."
"...It doesn't matter, I just need to adjust my emotions," Irisviel smiled relievedly at Artoria, "Our top priority is still how to solve the problem of 'Angora Mainyu'... …I’m not going to let my emotions affect our next actions.”
"You are really strong, Irisviel."
"After all, this is the only thing I can do, and I will try my best to do it well."
Arturia just looked at Irisviel's slightly lonely but still raised corners of her mouth. She was silent for a while, and the complicated thoughts in her heart also flashed, and finally she laughed with self-deprecation and relief.
"That's right...this is why Tristan said I don't understand people's hearts."
"what?"
"Although the trend of the legend of King Arthur circulating in modern times is correct, Tristan's saying that I don't understand people's hearts did happen - now that I think about it, what he said actually makes sense."
"...I can't imagine it at all."
Irisviel really couldn't imagine the reason why "King Arthur was criticized by Tristan for not understanding people's hearts".
Even though Artoria only stayed with her for less than half a month, Artoria's behavior was not as 'unintelligible' as in the legend, but she fully supported her and supported each other until today.
Arturia's performance in daily life is worthy of the name of a 'knight'. Every time she is in danger, she will definitely come to her and protect her with all her heart.
At that time, the sense of security that emerged in my heart would not be false in any way.
Because it was a personal experience, Irisviel responded to her servant seriously.
"In my opinion, you don't deserve the evaluation of 'not understanding people' at all."
"Because I am only a knight before you, not 'King Arthur of Britain', Irisviel."
Arturia could only smile and shake her head, admitting her shortcomings.
"When I was King Arthur, I was always too rational. I rationally calculated my own gains and losses. I was always afraid that the decisions I made would not be in line with the status of a 'king'. I thought that a 'king' should be a perfect existence.
Because of this, I don't dare to show weakness that is inconsistent with the king, nor do I dare to make any mistakes. As a king, I always calmly calculate the gains and losses, so that I can match the position of the 'King of Britain'. .
Lord Tristan's evaluation of me at that time was not wrong - as a king, I really do not understand people's hearts.
If I could deal with the problems between me and Guinevere, and me and Mordred, instead of calmly calculating the pros and cons of everything, maybe Lancelot would not defect from the Round Table, Mordred He won't hold a grudge against me and rebel while I'm on an expedition.
Since Mordred was able to lead an army to resist, it already means that I had hidden dangers when I governed the country as the King of Britain, and Mordred was just the one who truly guided Britain's hidden dangers out.
The end result is still my problem. "
Irisviel hesitated for a while, but still confirmed her thoughts in her heart and spoke seriously.
"I still don't think you don't understand people's hearts, Saber... Although I only know you now, I can definitely say that you are by no means a king who doesn't understand people's hearts. Maybe Britain's demise is just like what the foreigner said. In that case...Britain's destruction is doomed, and you have fulfilled your duties perfectly as the King of Knights."
Artoria did not answer Irisviel's question immediately, but suddenly calmed down and looked into Irisviel's red eyes, which also made Irisviel feel a little at a loss.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Arturia just shook her head calmly, and then looked at her Master seriously, "Do you also remember what the foreigner said? Irisviel."
Irisviel opened her mouth subconsciously, but she didn't know what she should say at this time, nor why Artoria suddenly said these words, nor why she mentioned that person just now by accident. The drunken gibberish of a foreigner - she just said those words completely subconsciously.
After she finished speaking, she didn't even think there was anything wrong with her words, but until Arturia pointed out that she used a [nonsense word spoken by a drunkard and a crazy person], and even now it is still [an enemy's word]. Trying to comfort her servant, she just realized that what she said was [what the enemy once said].
Irisviel could only hesitantly find a justification for her words.
"...Then, he was not our enemy at that time...and the monarch of the El-Melloi family also said that the foreigner's eyes were pure eyes...so it was normal to write down his words, right? Besides, it was Rather, just because he is an enemy, it is natural to write down his words..."
From the expression on Irisviel's face at this moment, Arturia accurately judged that her heart was being shaken at this moment - even more shaken than when she was standing quietly in front of the window and lost in thought.
For the 'perfect King Arthur', it is easy to detect the inner vacillation of others. Of course, he can also 'perfectly' point out the foundation that shakes his master, and he can even give advice to his master. Suggestions so that she can be aware of her true inner thoughts.
It's just that 'King Arthur' gave up on doing that.
"That foreigner took the initiative to invite us to meet at the Fuyuki City Bridge. He must have been prepared, so there may be a fierce battle tomorrow... Irisviel, please rest as soon as possible."
Artoria saluted her master, then turned around and left. Irisviel instinctively stretched out her hand to her leaving figure, but for some reason she did not stop Artoria from leaving. action.
Irisviel's thoughts were a little confused. She didn't know where the complex emotions came from and she didn't know how to deal with them. She could only follow what her servant said, walk through the huge castle, return to her bedroom and sit in front of the big bed. Down.
Even she herself found that her heart was shaken, but she didn't know why her heart was shaken - because when she knew that "the cup of heaven cannot be filled" and "the cup of heaven has become the cradle of evil", her inner emotions It is no more shaken than my current heart, and it is more difficult to adapt.
"...I obviously haven't seen him a few times..."
The nine-year-old artificial man cannot understand, know, or process his inner emotions. He can only stretch out his hand and press it in front of his heart, thinking confusedly about the source of this wavering.
The first time Irisviel met a foreigner was at the dock where Lancer and Saber were fighting, and when he first appeared, he revealed his madness and nonsense that surprised almost everyone.
On that night, he asked Artoria about his desire to pursue the Holy Grail, and Artoria asked him to first tell him what his desire to pursue the Holy Grail was. He also answered this question, saying that it was——
[Maybe it’s because I lack a cup to drink from].
In the end, the night ended with 'the Gentiles got the Holy Grail'.
The second meeting was in the courtyard of Einzbern's house, witnessing him coming drunk and then talking nonsense under the guidance of Gilgamesh.
