The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

As if feeling helpless about his Master's embarrassing behavior, Iskandar, who had just been sternly reprimanding Daimo, sighed in the blink of an eye.

"But Rider! But!"

——It is precisely because he understands this guy’s nature that he feels uneasy!

Waver shouted anxiously and ran towards his Servant at a brisk pace, forming a sharp contrast with the calm Iskandar.

But it's no wonder he behaves like this.

After all, Lin Qiao has the combat power of two Servants, so basically everyone has to consider it carefully.

Especially since the other party came into the Einzbern Castle uninvited, it seemed like they were there to cause trouble.

So if possible, he really wants to go home...

"So, Weber, you are still the same as always."

He's smart, but lacks courage...but there's nothing I can say about that.

Lin Qiao waved his hands helplessly and retracted the blocking field covering the surroundings.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of fighting you for now... Strictly speaking, we are only here in Einzbern to look for Kenneth's fiancée."

"Ms. Sora? What happened to her?"

"Yes, she was kidnapped, and we just happened to make a deal with Teacher Kenneth. One of the conditions in exchange is to help rescue her."

However, they didn't expect that a famous scene was taking place in the Einzbern Castle, so they simply stayed and watched.

Anyway, without all the "artistic scenes" created by Gilles de Rais and Ryunosuke Uryu, it would be great to bring the two children around to broaden their horizons.

"It wasn't me!"

As if to shake off suspicion, Waver shouted in panic.

Although his reaction made people feel more like a guilty thief, but...

"I know."

Lin Qiao nodded and looked at Waver below seriously: "After all, standing next to Miss Sora, you look more like the one being kidnapped."

"Well...."

Weber, who was about to continue to present evidence and refute something, was so stunned by Lin Qiao's words that he blushed.

Irisviel also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know...but a trace of uneasiness flashed across her face.

Although there was no direct evidence, her intuition told her that this matter was most likely related to Emiya Kiritsugu who acted in secret.

On the other side, Gilgamesh calmly held the golden cup, tasting the sweet wine inside, seemingly uninterested in all this.

The only one who was interested was Iskandar.

"But from what you said just now, Caster, it seems that you have a different opinion."

Iskandar did not feel unhappy because of the comments he had received before, and his tone remained heroic.

In other words, being able to fully listen to other people's opinions regardless of praise or criticism is a necessary ability for a king who aims to conquer the world.

The fact that he chose to ask about this point may indirectly indicate that he cares a little... probably.

"It's not really an opinion. After all, I'm not a king."

Although it is true that he has the power of Killbus, forcing himself to be the King of Blood Star will only embarrass himself.

He patted Kiara's little head beside him, then turned to look at Iskandar.

"But, King of Conquerors, in my opinion, the reason why humans are humans and different from other beasts is that they are able to restrain or control their own desires."

"If it's just a matter of simply showing desire, even a stray dog ​​on the side of the road can do it, right?"

Willful display of desires and leading the people forward lead such a king and his country to be powerful?

Of course powerful.

In history, those kings who led their armies to fight in all directions were all trampled and conquered by their armies, and wherever they went, they were feared....

So what then?

Can countries that wantonly wage wars by force last long?

Or do the people under their control live a good life?

Honestly speaking, this cannot be generalized, but both the demise of Qin II and the empire established by Iskandar are good examples.

Moreover, fighting a war requires an army, and expanding the army requires people, especially young and strong laborers.

It is undeniable that once the war begins, many people will be able to cross the class barrier and become the superior people by virtue of their military exploits, but compared with this, countless more people will die in it.

——In the ancient environment, the lack of young and strong labor in a civilian family meant something that was self-evident.

"I am not a king, so although I can understand some things, I cannot put myself into the perspective of you kings and generals."

“The only thing I can bring in is the perspective of millions of ordinary people.”

"So tell me, King of Conquerors, do the common people under your command want to see the sea at the end of the world that you mentioned, or do they just want a bowl of food to fill their stomachs?"

Lin Qiao looked at Iskandar below with a calm gaze.

Admittedly, conquering the world sounds exciting, and it also brings positive effects such as cultural dissemination.

But for ordinary people who work every day, all they want is to survive.

In other words, for your ambition to conquer the world, you have to sacrifice the lives of people all over the country...

Anyway, if it were Lin Qiao, he would have to find a way to kill his own king who was full of tricks.

And as for showing desire, you can see that Killbus has shown it enough.

But the result?

The Bloodstar trio and Evolto don't look like they are following the guidance.

Chapter 588: Dai Mao, a message for Emiya Kiritsugu

Kingly way?

It’s all bullshit!

The real thing is that the common people under your command can live a good life. Everything else is nonsense.

——And this is also the reason why Lin Qiao was disappointed with this so-called king’s debate.

I won't comment on whether Dai Mao is qualified to be the king, but you, Iskandar, speak as if you are qualified.

Lin Qiao was really shocked by his broken will that "the empire will be inherited by the strongest" which plunged the entire empire into civil war.

——This thing might have been just a rumor in the world before he traveled through time, but it really exists here in Type-Moon!

No, you should at least give a strong statement!

Even if it's useless, at least give it to me!

When they were alive, they had to fight wars with you for external expansion. After they finally managed to outlast you, they ended up causing civil war and division because of this trivial matter... Anyway, if they really lived in his era, Lin Qiao would feel very annoyed.

Or maybe he can replace him or something.

In short, it doesn't matter if Iskander scolds Dai Mao for his incompetent policies and his inability to balance the contradictions among his subordinates.

Or maybe this is what Lin Qiao is really looking forward to.

But the reason is that it is not enough to show one's own desires, which is a bit...

I can only say that there is a kind of beauty in it that ignores facts and speaks for itself.

"...This is the first time I've been criticized so harshly."

Iskandar smiled bitterly and took a sip of the wine, but he accepted this statement for the time being.

As for the rest...

After all, he is already dead. We can't let him change history like King Arthur did, right?

All I can say is that after using the Holy Grail to revive, I'll be more careful next time.

"But it seems that Caster you approve of that little girl even more?"

"No, that's not the case."

Shaking his head, Lin Qiao gave a rather surprising answer.

"I simply couldn't bear to see people who risked their lives to protect others being invaded by other countries. I just started to doubt my life."

Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow - to put it bluntly, it just means that we simply cannot stand others bullying honest people.

As for the other party's ideal...

"Didn't I say that? My greatest ideal is to prevent your ideals from coming true."

"This is really...Although it's a little late to say this, you are really a willful guy."

If he had thought that Weber's attitude towards Lin Qiao was a bit exaggerated before, then at this moment, Iskandar really understood it.

This is pure and unpretentious, it's obvious that he just wants to see others suffer, but this guy's style of behavior can't be called a villain or something like that...

All in all, it's quite a headache.

"But, Caster, someone with the ability to manipulate time and swordsmanship should have left a mark in history."

"But no matter how hard I think, I haven't found anyone who meets your characteristics, so I wonder if I can reveal it to you?"

Asking for real name in person...

Iskandar's actions shocked everyone present.

In every sense, this is already an extremely unsuccessful and even unpleasant outcome.

Gilgamesh next to him looked like he was enjoying the show. Long before that, he had used the "Omniscient and Almighty Star" to slightly flip the script... just for a moment, not really a big deal!

In general, he knew the truth about the Holy Grail... But because he had peeked at the script, his plan to cultivate Kotomine Kirei's happiness was thrown out.

After all, he already knew the result, so it was really meaningless - that was also why he wanted to seal that thing.

Moreover, because Kotomine Risei was knocked down, the latter had been busy dealing with the aftermath and had no time to train him.

In addition, he probably understood two things.

First, he is not here to work overtime.

Second, the Caster on the opposite side who called himself "Lin Qiao" was the one who came here to work overtime.

As for why I haven't seen someone in the Crown Art chat group... I can only temporarily attribute it to personality issues or other strange reasons.

For example, like Taigong Wang, he thought he could get a crown sorcerer, but ended up getting a crown knight or something.

"Actually, I am Gilgamesh..."

"Um!?"

Damn you!

The moment Lin Qiao's pretendingly serious words were heard clearly, it was obvious that a certain king among kings had taken up residence in Bengbu.

The handsome face suddenly became hideous and distorted.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of golden ripples unfolded behind him.

"——or something like that? That's of course impossible."

But before Gilgamesh could get angry, Lin Qiao smiled and waved his hand.

"And calm down, Gilgamesh. You, old and young, and Siduri, will cry if they see you like this."

"!"

As if time was flowing backwards, the ripples of the King's Treasure slowly closed, and Gilgamesh just twitched his mouth, snorted coldly, and said no more.

Then Lin Qiao looked at Iskandar: "It's a pity, King of Conquerors, if you want to find me in history books, it's totally impossible."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about the era, I wasn't even born at that time."

Not to mention that he is not from this world at all.
