Chapter 324 The King Does Not Stand on Streetlights
Everyone looked towards the streetlight following the sound and saw a tall figure in shining armor.

He also caught the extremely displeased sneer on the face of this heroic spirit and sensed the arrogance revealed in the words that this servant had said earlier.

But looking at its dazzling appearance, and feeling the sinister aura emanating from this servant in golden armor, he appeared.

If one's will is not strong enough, one will feel that this person's words have a certain inexplicable rationality.

As a result, they believe that the words spoken by him are commonplace and equivalent to "axioms" and are bewitched by them.

After catching a glimpse of this heroic spirit, everyone present knew a fact.

This is a Servant with enough strength to back up his arrogant words.

After realizing the strength of this Servant, the 'King of Conquerors' did not respond.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Waver beside him, holding him behind him to protect the immature Master.

Lancelot, standing aside, had lost his mind due to [Frenzy].

However, under the constraint of the 'Victory' [Command Spell], he also took a few steps back, lowered his head and dared not look directly at him, so as to avoid a conflict with this powerful Servant.

For a moment, the only unresponsive 'Heroic Spirits' in the field were Diarmuid, who was still struggling with the [Book of Treason], his hands and feet uncontrollable, and Fang Yi, who was standing with a knife.

As for Fang Yi, he was not very fond of this king.
-
If possible, he just wanted to find an opportunity to kill this exceptional servant with a rating of [EX].

Then, from the 'stingy' space, you can get a large number of rewards through tasks such as [Show Your Talent], which can be obtained until the end of the task.

But now he is not completely sure of defeating the opponent, and thinks that he'd better upgrade a "wave of levels" before he can slowly complete this "great cause".

I feel it's time to trick the other party into being my witness based on my understanding of them.

Let this 'Uruk Village Chief' and the 'King of Conquerors' sit in the audience seats.

His mission of [Showing Off His Prowess] is that the more people witness the battle, the stronger he will be, and the richer the reward he will receive in the end.

This Heroic Spirit, who is undoubtedly the strongest in most of the Holy Grail War, will be an excellent 'audience' to maximize his rewards.

Although this final boss kept calling him "miscellaneous cultivators" and "bastards" and his words were quite arrogant, most of the plot in the original novel was negatively related to him.

But there is also a side that values ​​the essence of the human soul and appreciates people with self-awareness.

If what you do can arouse his interest and gain his approval.

Then he will also acknowledge that you are "worthy" of being noticed and collected by him.

At the same time, it is also the most important point.

He possesses the skill of [Golden Rule A], which allows him to be surrounded by wealth throughout his life and never be troubled by money.

He also possesses the skill [King's Treasury], which contains all the [Noble Phantasms] in the world and has a large number of usable items.

With the combination of these two factors, he can be called a top-level "oil man".

As long as he is happy, this generous "dog tycoon" will give out gold coins.
-
Thinking of this, Fang Yi looked at the person beside him and was about to speak, most likely to blow up his own family and let the other party introduce himself as the "Conqueror King".

He cleared his throat and spoke before the 'dangerous man' could speak.

The words of this 'King of Conquerors' would most likely cause [Tōsaka Tokiomi], who pursued a cautious strategy, to fear revealing Gilgamesh's [true name], and to use the [Command Seals] to recall this Heroic Spirit.

Then you won't be able to trick the other party into becoming your 'audience'.

He quickly demonstrated his speaking skills to Gilgamesh on the street lamp.

"After all, the title of king is nothing more than an empty title in the shallow minds of many ignorant and despicable mortals.

"No matter if he's a general who controls several cities, or a defender of a small corner.

"Even though to others he is nothing more than an extremely funny, laughable clown.

"But as soon as they think the time is right, they can't wait to crown themselves kings."

Fang Yi deliberately slowed down his speech and glanced at Lancelot with a 'vigilant' look, giving the King of Flash a chance to interrupt him.

After hearing Fang Yi's sharp comments, Gilgamesh couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and interrupted with some arrogance.

“Yes, there are indeed too many fools in this world who dare to call themselves kings.

“Your remarks are very good and interesting.

“Go on, Saber.

"Don't be wary of your opponent. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to attack you."
-
Gilgamesh noticed that Fang Yi was "on guard" against his opponent, stretched out one hand and activated [King's Treasure].

Following an astonishing wave, the space around him began to distort like mirages.

Then dozens of sharp weapons suddenly appeared in the void.

The decoration of each weapon is breathtakingly gorgeous, and releases a strong magical power that is difficult to conceal.

Obviously, these weapons are at least B-level [Noble Phantasms].

After taking out his [Noble Phantasm] and demonstrating his "firepower", this strongest Heroic Spirit raised his head slightly and signaled Fang Yi to continue speaking.

Seeing that the 'rich man' he had chosen had gradually fallen into his trap.

Fang Yi smiled slightly and continued what he had not finished saying.

"And if the bandits entrenched in this tiny place and the village chief who has the support of some ignorant villagers get some money and property.

"On a whim, he shamelessly proclaimed himself king.

“As a king, I must refute these arrogant individuals one by one and expose their true nature as ugly fakes.

"It's like stepping into the mud and fighting savages, which is a demeaning act."

Fang Yi paused for a moment while speaking, and then gave a heavy hint.

In order to continue to feed the oldest fat tiger in the human race with sweet talk.

"After all, the brilliance of a true king cannot be concealed, imitated, or embellished with words.

“And if those counterfeit self-proclaimed kings dare to come before the true king, as soon as they catch a glimpse of the king’s glory, they will feel ashamed of themselves.

“There is no need for verbal arguments or the drawing of weapons. The king only needs to stand there and show his style, and the true and false will be clear at a glance.

"A king is a king, and a fake is a fake. This fact is not affected by the evaluation and recognition of others."
-
Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the street lamp, nodded in agreement when he heard Fang Yi's words.

"Saber, you are quite insightful.

"These words are quite pleasant to my ears."

Then he raised his head and laughed wildly for a while, making a rather arrogant declaration.

“After all, I am the only true king hero in the world.

"If you engage in meaningless arguments with those ragtag bunch of bastards who call themselves kings, you will only be putting yourself in a lower position.

"As you said, I would be lowering myself if I spoke to these bastards."

Gilgamesh, who had already become interested in Fang Yi, jumped lightly from the street lamp to the ground.

He asked Fang Yi, who was not far away, with great interest.

"Then what is your wish, having said these words that have pleased this king so much?
“Just tell me what’s going on and let this king hear it.

“Those who are ‘worthy’ deserve the king’s rewards and promises, and the fulfillment of their wishes!
"And you should have something to desire."

Obviously, although Fang Yi's highly targeted statement made Gilgamesh quite happy, the king had already realized that Fang Yi had other intentions.

But he was arrogant and conceited and didn't care about these things.
-
As Gilgamesh spoke these words, two prompt tones rang in Fang Yi's ears.

[The mission [Gilgamesh's Promise] has been triggered.]

[Affected by [Supernatural Gravity], the character [Gilgamesh]'s friendship towards you increases to [61/100]. ]

Fang Yi was not greedy and chose to "lock in the profits".

"A battle so grand that it can be called an epic battle must be witnessed and recorded by someone.

"Although this first battle of the Holy Grail War is somewhat insignificant compared to the epic battles, it can only be called a bloodbath.

“But in my opinion, this fight is still missing something.

"For example, a rather important audience came to witness it."

Gilgamesh couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Isn't this influential audience member exactly this king?
"This is such a precious promise that the king gave you, and you actually used it for this matter?"

Fang Yi didn't reply, but just put on a standard smile and nodded firmly, revealing his determination to "lock in the profits."

It can be seen that Fang Yi was determined to make such a "shallow" request.

Gilgamesh looked at Fang Yi, then frowned and looked at Lancelot, who he thought was "ugly", and Diarmuid, who looked struggling.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a slightly malicious smile.

"What a boring request.

“However, you are an interesting person, and your enemies are also interesting.

"So, I agree to your request!"

Gilgamesh waved his hand while speaking, and acted on his own again, revealing a bit of the tyrannical nature in him.

“Also, your request is too simple. I do not recognize it as a promise made to you.

“Therefore, you still have one more chance to make a request to this king.

"The promise I made to you is still valid.

"You need to think carefully about this promise, Saber."

After dealing with Fang Yi, Gilgamesh pointed at Diarmuid, who was still struggling with the [Book of False Ministers] and had been silent for a long time, and said in a contemptuous tone.

"There's too much 'waste' this time, it's time to clean some of it up.

"This king only wants to see the real heroes and fight them."

Then he fired at Lancelot who was quietly observing the battle on the side.

“This king also wants to see what skills you will display in the upcoming battle.

"Destroy this dirty, ugly, and rather unpleasant 'rabid dog'."

With just two words, Gilgamesh, after provoking the 'King of Conquerors', naturally earned the hatred of the two servants.

After saying this, Gilgamesh obviously didn't care about his behavior of attracting hatred.

He waved his hand and dispersed the [King's Treasure House] in the air.

Then he took a few steps back, threw a gold coin above his head, and uttered arrogant words.

"Listen up, you bastards behind that jerk (Diarmuid) and that vile 'mad dog' (Lancelot).

"When this gold coin falls to the ground, the battle begins.

"This is my promise to this Saber.

"If there were a bastard"
-
Before Gilgamesh could finish the second word "bastard".

Diarmuid, who was trying hard to fight against the [Book of False Ministers], suddenly felt his magic power surge as the other party attacked him.

It was obviously blessed by the Master's [Command Seal].

However, the strengthened Servant showed no joy, but instead spoke with tears streaming down his face and almost in despair.

"Master (Kenneth)? Why did you, like that man, give me such a despicable order?

"This goes against the spirit of chivalry."

Diarmuid's aura became even stronger, and although tears were streaming down his face, his body, under the effect of the newly added [Command Seals], took a very 'honest' fighting stance.

He took a few steps back and found a relatively flat asphalt road.

Then he squatted down, raised his gun, and a cold and clear feeling of oppression spread throughout his body.

The next moment, there was a sonic boom that tore through the air.

This Servant and the [Demon-Breaking] [Noble Phantasm] in his hand, the [Demon-Breaking Red Rose], mixed with the powerful magical power radiating from his body, together transformed into a 'divine spear' that showed his determination to kill.

With the forced determination to sacrifice his own life for justice, he was about to pierce Fang Yi through and through.

Lancelot, who was standing by, saw his 'teammate' launching a surprise attack, further compressing Fang Yi's space for dodging and responding.

Having seized the opportunity to win through [Endless Martial Arts Training], 'Mad Dog' also made a gesture to accumulate magic power.

The next moment, the madly burning black magic power was suddenly released.

Two long black flames emerged from behind him, helping him to break through the air, and he rushed towards Fang Yi at high speed with an even more terrifying aura than before.

Before the servant could get close to Fang Yi, the already scarred asphalt road was littered with debris from the repeated battles between the two.

It was blown up like a leaf, and then ruthlessly blown away by the airflow around it.

Lancelot, with black flames and wind pressure intertwined, looked like a terrifying beast out of a cage, devouring Fang Yi.
-
Seeing the two men ignoring his existence and taking the initiative to attack, Gilgamesh raised his hand and summoned the [King's Treasury] and was about to attack.

Unexpectedly, the 'King of Conquerors', who had been silent for a long time, quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Saber has said that this battle was an unfair one from the beginning.

"And these weaklings need these little tricks to compete with them.

“Since you’ve made a promise, just be a good audience.

"The 'One and Only King'."

After hearing the words of the 'King of Conquerors', Gilgamesh glanced at Fang Yi, who smiled calmly and did not react.

He had no choice but to retract the [King's Treasure House] in mid-air, which had never been activated since he summoned it.

Then, he responded to the King of Conquerors' consolation with his usual arrogant tone.

“Humph, I don’t need a reminder from you, a bastard who calls himself a king!
"I have made a promise, so naturally I will not interfere in this battle."

After responding to the King of Conquerors, Gilgamesh sighed nervously.

"Sure enough, there are still too many ugly people in this world!"
-
In the center of the battlefield.

Looking at Diarmuid charging towards him with a gun, and then looking at Lancelot who was trying to dodge him again, Fang Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he burst into laughter.

“Even though I said I would fight you.

"But your Master's decision is too bad, isn't it?
"You didn't actually let me keep my distance from you, but chose to attack me?

"You are really blind."

He responded by swinging his sword.
-
Kenneth, who had seen the gathering of servants through his familiar not far away, had a mocking smile on his face.

Having regained control of Lancer after the [Book of False Ministers] was completely consumed, he had just raised his hand and used a [Command Seal] at the urging of his fiancée [Sola].

The content of this [Command Spell] is also very simple.

"Lancer, I will amplify you with the Command Seal. Together with Berserker, you must defeat Saber."

And now, [Kenneth] stretched out the [Command Seal] on the back of his hand, which had transformed into a stroke, and made a "promise" to his fiancée beside him.

“One more stroke.

"I will have Lancer limit the enemy's evasive space, and then have Archer use his [Noble Phantasm] to annihilate the five Servants and the thief who stole my [Relic] in one fell swoop.

"Then he used the last stroke of the Command Seal to allow Lancer to evacuate."

After saying this, Sora, who was obsessed with Lancer, cast a grateful look at him.

Kenneth turned his back and began to inspect the three extremely precious Magic Furnaces.

After confirming that everything was correct, he spoke to Archer behind him.

"Archer, prepare to use your [Noble Phantasm] cannon.

"Let that Servant who calls himself the king, who is so arrogant and dares to call me, Kayneth, a bastard, see what a true Archer is."

At this moment, the three attributes of Gilgamesh clearly displayed in [Kenneth]'s eyes made the genius determined to do the whole thing.

"That servant who looks like Archer has only B's in Strength, Agility, and Endurance. He must be a weakling!
"Later, let him feel the power of your [A+] rank [Noble Phantasm] after it has been amplified by my [Magic Furnace]!"

After doing all this, [Kenneth] looked at Diarmuid in the field and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

[I will definitely let you 'transfer' instead of destroying you, Lancer.]
