Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

……

Game of hide and seek.

But we have to admit that even such a simple game of hide-and-seek actually became quite "interesting" in the hands of this "genius" emperor.

"Berserker, what should we do?"

"Should I continue hiding? Or should I let you take me to sign in?"

Irisviel's voice echoed in Shirataki's mind, and at the same time, he could also sense Irisviel's location.

Shirataki believed that he was definitely not an exception - this should be the "special connection" between every pair of Master and Servant.

The same doubts should also be hidden in the heart of every "hider".

"Should I be found by my own people and get the guaranteed bonus points? Or should I try my best to hide myself and try to get the highest reward?"

Different tactical designs will affect the final outcome of the game. Most people want to get off to a good start at the beginning of the game.

As for the Heroic Spirit who didn't want to participate in this match at all—

"So, are you going to admit defeat, Gilgamesh?"

"Huh, you idiot, are you kidding me?"

"I just don't want to participate in such a non-challenging competition!"

The proud Hero King pointed to his eyes.

The Omniscient and Omnipotent Star - Because he is omnipotent, he knows everything.

If he wanted to, he could capture the location of all the hidden people in an instant.

But he didn't do that.

This was indeed a very stupid game - but since even Enkidu was joining in on the game, he didn't mind taking it a little seriously.

"Well."

"Now, the game begins!"

……

In the referee's seat, the whistle sounded, indicating "the start of the game".

The Emperor on the high platform immediately rushed into the crowd below like a nimble lion and began to search for the traces of those "hidden ones".

You can tell that she really enjoys participating in the competition and is always in high spirits.

"King, may I ask..."

"Shut up, Shichen!"

The situation on Tōsaka Tokiomi's side was a little less friendly.

Although Gilgamesh agreed to participate in this competition, given his personality, he would definitely be a loner. Looking at the gradually disappearing golden figure, Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed helplessly, but he could only squeeze into the boiling crowd.

The entire Fuyuki City... no, it should be called Rome City now.

There are about three hundred thousand people in the city of Rome.

Finding a few people among these 300,000 people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Tōsaka Tokiomi is by no means an ignorant fool - he is the manager of the leyline in Fuyuki City, and he has the ability to sense the spiritual vein under his feet.

“Although the name has been changed to Rome, the location will not change.”

With his familiarity with the spiritual vein beneath his feet, he combined the various buildings in this city with the terrain of the former Fuyuki City, and generated a new comprehensive map in his mind - he hoped that this would help him find someone.

"What about us? What should we do?"

Shirataki and Altria looked at each other.

Then, they both silently turned their gazes to the Conqueror King Iskandar.

To be precise, it was on the ox cart under Iskandar.

——They seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Looking at that greedy look, as if wanting to plunder everything.

At this moment, Iskandar suddenly recalled the story about "dragon" taught to him by his teacher, the famous "Aristotle".

They are symbols of greed, coveting everything valuable in the world and wanting to take all the treasures under the sky for themselves.

Chapter 120: When in doubt, use fire

The concept of "war" has existed since the concept of "human beings" existed in this world.

After thousands of years of evolution, the methods of warfare have undergone a dramatic change—from cold weapons to hot weapons, from fights involving dozens of people to conquests involving tens of thousands of people...

"But no matter how things change, the most basic principles of war remain unchanged."

"First, achieve your own goal."

"Second, do not allow the enemy to achieve his goal."

"Third, I would rather fail to achieve my ultimate goal than let the enemy complete their plan!"

These three points can almost be said to be the iron laws of all "wars".

As the king given the title of "Conqueror" by this planet, Iskandar is of course very clear about this.

——But knowing it is one thing, but whether it can be done is another.

"While war has been transformed into a competition, the fundamentals remain unchanged. And regardless of the type of competition, my God Wheels possess an absolute speed advantage... I see. Is this a strategy to weaken the enemy first?"

"Unknown king, and that blue-black dragon. I admire your courage—if you can do it, give it a try!"

Iskandar shouted.

Although facing two heroic spirits at the same time was indeed a bit stressful - but if he couldn't break through such an obstacle, how could he see the true sea of ​​stars?

As for the competition?

Then let that clever "military advisor" handle it!

……

The contestants have chosen their goals.

This made the already bustling city of Rome even more chaotic.

In order to find its target, the "cat" uses endless methods; in order to hide its own existence, the "rat" uses even more clever tricks.

"This plan is called fire attack—"

A blazing fire suddenly rose from the northeast of Rome, and its light illuminated most of the city.

Everyone knew that it was Caster who took action.

But there was no point in looking for that Caster at this moment.

Because of the fire, the crowds in Rome were in chaos—people fleeing, fighting the fire, watching the excitement... There was a huge crowd of people, all crammed together. The density was so great that even faces couldn't be seen clearly.

"Creating chaos to conceal the truth?"

"Huh, what a small skill."

Gilgamesh stood on a towering marble column, looking at the chaotic crowd below, a look of disdain flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"Om-"

The golden vortex unfolded beside him again, but this time it was no longer an attack - the Ancient King reached his hand into the vortex, and in the next moment he pulled out a golden cup from it.

【Holy Grail】.

This is not the "Heavenly Grail" that can fulfill all wishes - but the power it possesses is even stronger than that Heavenly Grail.

This is the true Holy Grail.

In terms of value, even the "Holy Grail" that once carried the blood of the savior is not as "authentic" as this golden cup.

——Because this is the original source of all the "Holy Grails" in the world, it is a true "miracle incarnated".

Gilgamesh threw the cup into the air.

And in the next moment, when a silver-white figure suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed straight towards the "Holy Grail" in the sky -

"caught you!"

The king gently raised his fingers, manipulated the golden chain and pounced on the figure, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

——But in the next moment, the smile disappeared.

"Crash-"

It was visible to the naked eye that the moment the golden chain touched the silver-white figure, the figure turned into liquid, dripping onto the ground, and then transformed into a human form again on the ground.

【Magic Gift Set Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid】.

The supreme ceremonial attire of the El-Melloi clan, its monarch, was also given a pseudo-personality through improvements by Webber Velvet. Although it looks like a homunculus, it is actually something like an "autonomous golem."

"It's really...disgusting stuff."

Look at that [Mercury Maid].

Gilgamesh's face showed a rather obvious expression of disgust.

——What he hated most in his life was something that couldn't even be considered a "miscellaneous cultivator".

……

The competition is becoming more and more intense.

However, there is still one group that has not participated in the competition so far.

Kallen Aldessia—this little silver-haired nun is more of a mouthpiece for Jeanne Lily than the Master of Assassion.

Or maybe, she simply regarded this "Sister Joan of Arc" who looked only a few years older than her as a god and served her wholeheartedly.

"Aren't you going to go play for a bit, Kallen?"

"Although this is indeed a bit ridiculous...it still looks quite interesting, right?"

"No, Your Highness the Saint."

"I'll just stay like this."

The silver-haired nun stood very obediently beside Joan of Arc Lily, like a loyal little guard.

.......0 ...

Joan of Arc Lily, who was sitting in the referee's seat, stretched out tiredly.

To be honest, she has been very tired recently, very, very tired.

Because of this Holy Grail War, she hasn't had a good rest for almost a month.

This kind of high-intensity work can be extremely torturous for Santa Claus, who only works one day a year.

——But, there’s no way.

“Although the result is indeed important, the process is also important.”

"And no matter what, launching such a cruel war just for a vague wish...even the Lord wouldn't want to see such a thing, right?"

This is what Joan of Arc Lily wishes for.

She is not an innocent child, she knows the cruelty of this world - but precisely because of this, she is willing to do her best to make the world have more "love and peace" and less "despair and killing."

This was also the reason why she finally agreed and joined Saber in making trouble.

——No matter what the outcome of this Holy Grail War was, at least at this moment, she hoped that the participants would feel "enjoyment" rather than any other negative emotions.

"Please note that there are still three hours left in the game."

"Also, let me add a new rule: the team with the lowest points this round must treat everyone to a big meal at noon tomorrow."
