Today, he couldn't help but begin to doubt that disciple; at the very least, he no longer had absolute trust in him.

Chapter 484 The Invitation to the King's Banquet (Part 1/3)

Upon receiving Tokiomi Tohsaka's answer, the group reacted in various ways.

Since Aizen didn't speak up, no one expressed any dissatisfaction. Using enemy Servants to make them leave the stage was something that Diarmuid wouldn't be happy about anyway.

The others didn't really have any desire to obtain the Holy Grail; at most, Matou Kariya had mixed feelings.

For him, Sakura had already found redemption.

Tokiomi Tohsaka will continue to live a good life. Even though he still harbors some doubts, rationally speaking, compared to him, who is nearing the end of his life, Tokiomi Tohsaka, as his biological father, can ultimately bring a better future to that family.

He wouldn't regret his choice at this point, but without a goal, he inevitably felt lost.

"Yan Ye, I'm afraid you wouldn't be happy if I helped you with your health issues, but it's probably better for you to ask Lord Kenneth for help than to do what you're doing now."

After giving Matou Kariya a long look, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly spoke.

"I don't need your concern."

Yan Ye paused for a moment, then frowned slightly. His tone, still carrying a hint of hostility, did not provoke any displeasure from the other party.

Tokiomi shook his head slightly and said, "What you do is your business. I just don't want Rin and Sakura to have someone they know and are close to die at such a young age."

"You rascal, hahaha, cough cough cough!"

Matou Kariya's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly laughed with relief, but due to his physical condition, he couldn't help coughing as he laughed.

The two did not exchange many words; after expressing his gratitude once again, Tokiomi Tohsaka excused himself and left.

Just before Tokiomi Tohsaka left with Sakura, he seemed to remember something: "There's one more thing. It seems that the King of Heroes has been invited to the King of Knights' house tomorrow night for a question-and-answer session about the Holy Grail. I hope this trivial piece of news will be of use to you."

The Tohsaka family will remember this favor. Your transaction with Kariya is none of my business. If the Tohsaka family is ever needed in the future, we will certainly do our utmost.

Aizen smiled slightly, not taking Tokiomi Tohsaka's promise to heart.

He left after the Holy Grail War ended, so whether Kenneth used this favor or how he used it was none of his business.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's reminder was actually good news, since Hattori Hanzo couldn't leave his side these days, and Finn was the only one who could go out to gather intelligence.

Aizen didn't trust the intelligence capabilities of the brush at all, and Sora didn't have the ability to track down and detect Servants. Only Finn went to investigate Jeanne's affairs, and he only learned about the King's Banquet that day.

"A royal banquet, indeed a fine occasion."

Muttering something under his breath, Aizen suddenly looked at Kariya arrogantly and said, "Tokiomi Tohsaka is right, I can take care of your body."

"Now that you have no worries, you won't be afraid of losing your life this time, right?"

"certainly."

Yan Ye forced an awkward smile.

Because Rin and his wife, Zenjou Aoi, were not brought back from their parents' home, they were unaware of Sakura Tohsaka's return home at that time.

Having abandoned the Holy Grail War and family responsibilities, Chen inexplicably fell into a relaxed state of mind, wholeheartedly focusing on mending the troubled father-daughter relationship.

Even though his efforts were largely ineffective given his personality and Sakura's situation, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who basically had nothing else to do, continued to enjoy himself immensely.

In addition, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was checking Sakura's body again out of a sense of caution, also discovered several noticeable abnormalities.

Finn's Noble Phantasm, by scooping up so many lives, completely repaired Sakura Tohsaka's body. Apart from her striking hair color, there was no trace of the countless wounds on her body. The most precious thing about a girl was not left as a lifelong regret because of this tragedy.

"Pseudo-magic mark"

The existence of [something] was one of them, a discovery that surprised and delighted Tokiomi Tohsaka, even more so than the previous one.

He obtained what he had been worrying about and seeking for Sakura, which means that Sakura will still have the ability to grow up without fear of being watched by others.

"I never imagined I'd owe such a huge favor."

After his initial surprise, Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At the same time, he felt even greater awe for the Clock Tower Monarch's talent; the fact that he could bestow upon someone a legacy that was almost a magical inscription would be a shocking event for the entire mystical world if word got out.

Even if such things cannot be passed down from generation to generation, their value is still indescribable.

What about the continuation of Sakura's lineage? Other large families are divided into main families and branch families, with hundreds of members. Does that mean that everyone except the head of the family is useless?

Magic crests can be propagated and re-implanted to create new magic crests; it's not that complicated at all.

The main reason Sakura was sent away was because her attribute was too rare. The advanced magic in the Tohsaka family's magic crest was useless to Sakura, and it was better to teach her basic magic directly.

A new magic crest is like starting from scratch. As the first generation, she has absolutely no foundation. It's one thing for an ordinary magician, but the main problem is that Sakura's talent is too strong.

If Sakura were any more ordinary, Tokiomi Tohsaka wouldn't have needed to worry about either teaching her himself or sending her to the Clock Tower. Perhaps, even without the interference of the old bug, his final choice might have been to send Sakura to the Clock Tower as well.

All I can say is that the promises made by the old fox were too tempting.

The current outcome is a blessing in disguise for Tokiomi Tohsaka, an unexpected joy, and he is genuinely happy for Sakura.

But while he was happy, everyone else was unhappy.

Take Kotomine Risei for example! At this moment, this priest had countless things he wanted to say. He had agreed to be a biased referee because of their personal relationship.

Trusting Tokiomi Tohsaka's character, and believing that the Holy Grail, such a powerful weapon, was better in Tokiomi's hands than in someone else's, this... old priest willingly became a side agent. So what do you mean by saying you're giving up now?

Without a clear target for biased refereeing, the old priest couldn't possibly have the audacity to try and ensure Tokiomi Tohsaka's victory.

Fine, if Tokiomi Tohsaka doesn't want to win, then let my son go! In a sense, one's own son is always more trustworthy than an outsider, and it might be more reassuring to have the Holy Grail in Kirei Kotomine's hands.

Kotomine Risei, who always regarded his son as his pride, gritted his teeth and discussed with Kotomine Kirei: "Tohsaka Tokiomi gave up the Holy Grail War to prevent anyone from using the Holy Grail for bad things. This time, you will be the one to win back the Holy Grail."

"Tokiomi Tohsaka has withdrawn from the competition, but that Hero King hasn't. You can't win by your own strength alone. You need to find a way to team up with that Hero King."

"I see, I understand."

Kirei Kotomine agreed expressionlessly, without questioning or refusing.

He could sense a subtle change in Tokiomi Tohsaka's attitude towards him during their phone calls over the past few days, but he felt somewhat confused.

At first, he fought for the Holy Grail for Tokiomi Tohsaka; now he fights for Risei Kotomine. In the end, the Holy Grail is not something he fights for himself.

The question of why he was chosen—a question that should have been posed by the King of Heroes—quietly took root in his mind, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of his deceased wife.

What do I really want?

Chapter 485 The Conqueror's Arrogance 2/3

After Aizen's simple treatment, all the worms in Matou Kariya's body were completely removed.

There's not much that can be done to compensate for its lack of vitality, but its lifespan has been extended to some extent after its innate magic circuit talent was activated.

Although it may still not live as long as a normal person, it can still die in another ten or twenty years. However, the main reason is that it has not consumed too much magic power so far.

The Crest Worm expanded his magic circuits, but also consumed his life force by converting it into magical energy, which is an unhealthy use of magical energy.

In reality, Kariya Matou possesses a certain level of magical talent. While he may not be as good as Tokiomi Tohsaka, he's not too bad either. At least in terms of magical circuits, he's slightly better than Waver.

For Lancelot, consuming mana to support a Servant isn't too much of a burden, especially since he doesn't have any high-mana-consuming Noble Phantasms or skills.

However, due to the inflicted frenzy, the energy consumption required to maintain it is still higher than that of a normal Heroic Spirit.

Aizen also took care of this potential problem for him.

Even a berserk Lancelot wouldn't be of much use to Aizen; he's not much of a fighting force for him.

Moreover, reducing consumption does not mean that Lancelot, whose attributes have been reduced, has become weaker in terms of combat power. On the contrary, his combat experience and martial arts have been improved. It is really hard to determine whether a berserker without reason or an experienced knight is stronger.

With the Holy Grail War passing peacefully, the King's Feast arrived as scheduled.

On the evening of the following day, seeing that it was almost time, Aizen simply led everyone to Einzbern Castle in a swaggering manner.

"Won't we be seen as enemies if so many of us make such a big fuss?"

Looking at his team of three 3-star magicians and four 44-star Servants, Matou Kariya couldn't help but feel that it was a bit outrageous.

"As long as we have no intention of fighting, the Knight King's chivalrous spirit dictates that he will not directly draw his sword against us."

Aizen offered a reassuring explanation, then looked at Finn and asked, "Hasn't that... the King of Conquerors invited you these past two days?"

"No, I haven't left the house since yesterday."

Finn's lips twitched, and he forced a smile as he offered an explanation.

Aizen glanced at him, bluntly exposing him: "My base is completely undisguised. Finding that group might be a bit troublesome for us, but finding you would be very easy for them."

""

Finn was speechless, but inwardly he was somewhat annoyed with the Conqueror King.

Is Finn really that lacking in prestige? Although that guy has only invited the King of Heroes so far, is Finn really inferior to a King of Heroes?

All I know is the "Holy Grail Questions".

They were unaware of the "King's Banquet".

Finn was vaguely uncomfortable; he vaguely understood what the King of Conquerors meant, but that was precisely why he was dissatisfied.

"That guy is too slow, my lord."

Dirumdo, the most loyal henchman, immediately spoke up.

"snort."

Finn gave a cold snort, not denying it.

He also thought the Conqueror King was somewhat arrogant, only referring to himself as "King".

The concept of a conqueror being treated as an equal almost inherently elevates those of royal status above others, a trait ingrained in their very being, no matter how approachable they may seem.

In fact, Aizen's thoughts were similar. On the surface, Iskandar was the most approachable of the three kings, but in reality, he had the strongest class consciousness! In the mind of the King of Conquerors, there were only two classes: kings and everyone else! Therefore, he was cheerful towards everyone because, in his view, no one except kings was noble or lowly; there were only differences in ability.

Given their grand entrance, one would expect that King Daimao and his group to be on their guard immediately.

"But are you really going to wear that stiff armor tonight? Wouldn't it be better to change into some modern clothes?"

"What exactly do you want from me today?!"

"See this barrel? It's obvious I'm here to drink with you today. Let's find a suitable place for a party, hahaha."

A cacophony of sounds erupted from Eindzbern Castle, a mixture of questioning and laughter.

Clearly, the Conqueror King has already achieved this first.

While their attention was focused on that group, even though they had already spotted "Kenneth"...

The fact that others openly displayed magical energy fluctuations gave them no chance to detect or stop them, allowing Aizen and his group to arrive before them without any hindrance.

"Oh, you've come too! That's wonderful!"

Iskandar, who had just stepped off the oxcart, greeted them with a hint of delight.

"What are you doing here?"

The Saber King was quite troubled, looking at yet another group of "uninvited guests".

His tone turned unfriendly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The black-clad figure I'd met once before was also in the other group.

""

Irisviel, hiding behind, frowned and whispered cautiously.

"rest assured."

With his mind focused and alert, the ahoge-haired king shook his head and whispered a word of comfort.

At this moment, Aizen glanced at the King of Conquerors and asked, "I heard that the King of Conquerors invited the King of Heroes to have a debate with you about the Holy Grail. In that case, as fellow participants, surely we are qualified to join?"

"The Questions and Answers of the Holy Grail"

Alice was completely confused about what the key point was.

"Phew, I see."

Suddenly, he let out a helpless sigh, and abruptly changed from his previous guarded demeanor to one of composure and generosity: "This is a war fought over drinks, isn't it? Since that's the case, as the King of Knights, I have no reason to back down from this challenge."

"But won't they really cause trouble?"

Alice looked hesitant.

"As long as they still possess the pride and self-respect that belong to heroic spirits."

He answered decisively.
