Chapter 591 Questions and Answers
Jin Shining opened the king's treasure house and took out his treasured wine for everyone to enjoy. Li Zhuoguang also poured himself a glass and commented with some surprise: "There is no brewing method using sugar removal technology at all. How can it taste so good? Did you add magic to it?"
"Tsk, I am the king of kings, and my things are of course the best. All the rare treasures, magical weapons and weapons in the world can be found in my treasure house, and the Holy Grail naturally belongs to me."
After listening to Jin Shining's speech, everyone present had guesses about his identity.
Iskandar rubbed his chin and said: "Since it is rare for all three kings to gather here today, let's have a king's question. The one who wins proves to be more qualified to become the king, then he will naturally be qualified. Possessing the Holy Grail.”
"Interesting." Gilgamesh, for such a conceited person, would certainly not refuse.
Then, the three of them talked about their wishes about using the Holy Grail to fulfill their wishes. When the other two heard that Artoria's wish was to go back to the past and change the history she created. They all agreed that Artoria was not qualified to be called a king.
After that, the three of them argued for their respective kingly ways, but neither could convince the other. After all, they were already kings when they were still humans. They have gone too far on their own path, and of course they firmly believe that the path they are on is the right one.
Iskandar stopped arguing, took a breath, and saw Li Zhuoguang looking around. Then he asked: "What are you looking at there? It seems that you are also called the Red Devil King. What do you think of the path of the three of us?"
Of course, Li Zhuoguang was looking for intruders. If there were no intruders, this banquet would certainly not be a mess. But then Li Zhuoguang remembered that the Assassin in this Holy Grail War was Emiya Kiritsugu.
Now that Assassin has been summoned, the only heroic spirit that has been summoned formally is Basaker. Even the ranks have changed, and the sneak attacks that should have been possible are probably gone.
Hearing Iskandar's question, Li Zhuoguang said casually: "The paths of the three of you don't matter to me. My nation has had many emperors. You three types can find similarities in history. Not to mention the somewhat normal ones like you, there are also quite a few strange behaviors.
But eventually, we overthrew the emperor, or abolished the monarchy. Because if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Others use bronze tools, and you use stone tools. If you don't win, you will know that bronze tools are more useful than stone tools.
When a system seriously hinders the country, it is time to change it. In my opinion, the feudal monarchy is an extremely backward thing. No matter how wise an emperor is, it doesn't matter. A wrong system will not improve if it only relies on the excellence of one or two people.
Moreover, it is difficult for people to betray their own class. As a member of the public, my position is of course the position of the people. For our people, the best emperor is the emperor who exists in the history books. Anyone who wants to restore the monarchy is our enemy.
And what did you just say? Fight for the people, the people fight for you and so on. Only when the people fight for themselves can the most powerful force be unleashed. "
The three kings were stunned when they heard Li Zhuoguang's words. After they were summoned to this world, they were indeed instilled with a lot of common sense about modern times. But these common senses will not come to mind unless you take the initiative to contact them.
Although they already knew that many countries in modern times no longer have kings, it was undoubtedly shocking for them to suddenly hear Li Zhuoguang's words.
Snap!
A big hand patted Li Zhuoguang's shoulder, and William said excitedly: "That's well said. I originally thought you were just a dignified dog with a little conscience, but I didn't expect you to have such insight."
Li Zhuoguang slapped William's big hand away angrily and thought to himself: If there are no intruders to cause trouble, should I make some trouble myself?
But then, in the circle he had already opened, he discovered a humanoid object approaching at high speed. This speed was estimated to be only reached by heroic spirits.
Li Zhuoguang immediately gave Medea a look, reminding her to start taking action.
When the heroic spirit arrived at the castle gate, all the heroic spirits present noticed it.
boom!
The gate of the castle seemed to have been hit by a giant siege hammer, flying inward. Weber was so frightened that he hid behind Iskandar, while Arturia rushed towards the door, seemingly wanting to smash the flying door into pieces.
It was just that a pitch-black bone hand swung out sideways one step ahead of Artoria, hitting the flying door and knocking it aside. Arturia turned around suddenly, only to see that the bone hand was spreading from the body of the man named William.
Others paying attention here were also surprised by the strength shown by William. In this way, even if the heroic spirit is saved, it will not get any benefits. It is indeed an existence that can hunt vampires. You must know that in this world, vampires are the category with the most powerful individuals.
At this moment, everyone looked towards the entrance of the castle, and a red-haired figure appeared in everyone's field of vision. Li Zhuoguang frowned slightly. He recognized the heroic spirit who came to the door as Li Shuwen.
Because in the original work, Kotomine Kirei's summoning of heroic spirits did not prepare any special holy relics at all, it was just a random summons. Kotomine Kirei is already a master of Bajiquan, so it makes sense to summon Li Shuwen.
But Li Zhuoguang remembered that in Xingyue's setting, because China's foundation was very special and even considered an independent existence, it was impossible to summon China's heroic spirits in the regular Holy Grail War. Why now...
Immediately, Li Zhuoguang figured it out. Because he summoned the heroic spirit as the master, his crimson magic power inevitably flowed into the local spiritual veins. Although he did not actively inject it, and the amount flowing out was very small compared to the entire spiritual vein, the crimson magic power was extremely destructive after all.
It now appears that the Holy Grail's system has malfunctioned.
Li Shuwen, who came as Basaker, looked like a young man. As soon as he entered the castle, he started fighting with Artoria who was closest to him. Each move explodes violently, leaving no room for error. Although it is a bare-handed technique, the characteristic of Bajiquan is short blows.
After Artoria's first two swords were dodged and blocked, Li Shuwen got closer. The two-handed knight sword like the Sword of Victory and Oath has become a burden to Artoria. She cannot use it at all and can only defend passively.
Check out the correct version one by one!
Artoria was beaten back by Li Shuwen. Fortunately, Li Shuwen came as a Basaker. Although his strength was greatly improved, his sanity was lost. For such a highly skilled martial artist, lack of rationality greatly weakens the combat effectiveness.
In fact, if Arturia was willing to use the Noble Phantasm, she wouldn't be so aggrieved. But the power of the Sword of Victory and Oath was too great. She had lived in Einzbern's castle after all, and she was unwilling to hurt even an artificial human at will.
And she also knew in her heart that the fundamental purpose of Li Zhuoguang's visit this time was to take away Irisviel and her daughter. The longer the fight lasted, the better it would be for them.
So Li Zhuoguang sat there as if watching a play, watching Artoria being held down and beaten.
But Iskandar stood up: "Is he an irrational beast?"
After all, he was the sponsor of this banquet. When he saw his guests being harassed, he had to stop them both emotionally and rationally.
