The Great Movie Emperor System (Anime Crossover)

Page 286

The Conqueror King, Finn, Hattori, and Aizen all simultaneously revealed a faint smile.

This is both a sign of trust and a form of provocation.

If even the mighty Knight King has spoken so, then anyone who still dares to resort to despicable means will truly be despised by all the Heroic Spirits! In the blink of an eye, his expression turned serious again: "If we cannot settle this with swords today, then I will certainly not relinquish the victory at the dinner table!"

That sharp, piercing fighting spirit made Irisviel realize that this was no joke.

These people seem to genuinely want to use the banquet to compete against each other.

The courtyard under the moon.

This time, due to the fear of the two "1s", there was no conflict between Emiya Kiritsugu and Aizen, and the Einzbern castle was not destroyed by the Moon Spirit Liquid in advance.

Nevertheless, the final banquet was still held in the courtyard, probably to prevent damage should a real fight break out.

The conqueror, who had violently smashed the barrel lid, scooped up a spoonful of fragrant wine with a ladle and said smugly, "Although the shape is a bit strange, this is a unique wine vessel of this country."

Seeing the Conqueror King using a wooden spoon as a vessel like a country bumpkin, Aizen's expression became somewhat subtle.

Fortunately, this time someone managed to expose it.

The wife, being an artificial human, didn't really understand much, and Waver, being a queen who generally wouldn't dare to disobey, caused a rather awkward situation.

"That's just a tool for scooping wine."

Matou Kariya interrupted his self-praise with a blank expression.

The thick arm suddenly froze in mid-air.

Sorry for the delay, I've been gone for a few days again.

I originally planned to update two chapters on the 31st, but then a distant relative from out of town came to visit my grandmother. They're roughly related as the grandson of my great-uncle and great-aunt's cousin.

It's probably after the Lunar New Year, so these past few days I've been taking him to visit other relatives, booked hotels, and also found him a temporary job as a taxi driver.

Sure enough, after standing someone up so many times, I'll continue to do so without any guilt when something comes up. I need to change this bad habit.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, I'm worried about issues with updating the new book, so I'll postpone it for now. I'll focus on updating these two books whenever I have time.

Chapter 486 Hero King, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you? 3/3

"Haha, these are all minor matters."

Scratching his hair, Iskandar laughed heartily as if nothing had happened and then tilted his head back to drink.

There was nothing he could do; he was so imposing, he couldn't just pour the liquor back into the barrel, and he hadn't prepared any glasses beforehand, so there was nothing that could be done to change things.

Intelligent people clearly saw this, but at the same time, they were speechless.

He wouldn't want everyone to drink from the same wooden spoon, would he? Aizen shook his head and turned his gaze to Sora.

"Now I finally understand why you asked me to bring the cup."

Sora was taken aback for a second, then with impeccable manners, she gently waved her hand, causing several fine wine glasses to appear on the table.

This scene surprised everyone; could such a thing have been predicted?

The King of Conquerors didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked directly at his little Master's mentor and asked in surprise, "Oh, did you already guess this?"

"No, this is just '723',"

"Be prepared for any eventuality."

Aizen, of course, could not admit it, and explained clearly: "Since it was a banquet initiated by the King of Conquerors, there must have been at least some wine."

But the Conqueror King, who hasn't informed us, might not have prepared enough wine glasses. The Einzbern family certainly wouldn't lack a glass or two, but preparing glasses in this atmosphere would be rather inappropriate.”

It doesn't matter if there are a few extra; we've already brought cups, so one or two more won't make a difference.

After this explanation, everyone understood much better.

It's much more reliable than prophecies; at most, it's just more meticulous and thoughtful, but it inevitably makes people feel a slight sense of incongruity.

How could someone as meticulous as Waver be so careless as to not guard the relics at all, allowing them to be stolen by such an incompetent disciple as Waver with almost no effort?

Everyone's understanding of Kenneth was superficial. Neither his fiancée Sora nor his student Waver truly knew enough about him, which gave Aizen a relatively unbridled space to operate.

If it were Kiritsugu Emiya or Waver, the room for maneuver would be much smaller.

Since everyone had a cup, Iskandar didn't hold back on his wine and generously poured a cup for everyone.

This made Irisviel and the others feel flattered, as very few people get to drink wine personally poured by the King of Conquerors.

The Three Kings' Meeting in the original work did not address these issues.

In a war dominated by Heroic Spirits, the Master is practically insignificant, relegated to a mere supporting role in such a clash of ideals.

Aizen swirled his wine glass, then tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp.

Aizen took a small sip of the wine as it went down his throat. It was not bad for the sake of wine, but it was just a commercially available beverage and could not compare to some rare gems.

He had drunk quite a lot of good wine during his hundreds of years in Soul Society, but due to the environment, most of it was sake. Drinking red wine was a rare treat.

No matter what, the Conqueror King is a king, and even if he's unconventional, he wouldn't use truly inferior wine to host a party.

"Speaking of which, there should still be one king who hasn't arrived yet."

Iskandar made a pointed remark with the remaining glass of wine.

"Humph!"

Gilgamesh appeared in the courtyard with a disdainful snort accompanied by a dazzling golden light, his tone full of contempt: "This shabby place and this cheap wine, is this all the taste you have?"

Despite his sharp tongue, Jin Shanshan landed the wine on the ground, took it, and downed it in one gulp.

He couldn't possibly escape the king's invitation and declaration of war, but after drinking it, the expression on his face was one of undisguised disgust and aversion: "Is it a joke to use this kind of wine for a hero's battle?"

"Well, this is the best wine I've ever bought on the market."

The Conqueror King offered a casual explanation.

"So you don't know anything about wine, you bastard."

As arrogant as ever, a golden halo appeared behind Jin Shanshan.

This change was immediate.

This aroused the vigilance of everyone, but only a few remained calm and composed, and Aizen happened to be one of them.

This discovery added a touch of amusement and deeper meaning to Jin Shanshan's gaze. After his eyes lingered on her for a few seconds, he saw several golden cups and wine jugs emerge from the halo.

The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air.

Only then did everyone realize that they were preparing to bring out their treasured wines, not that they wanted to start a war.

Aizen glanced at them and saw exactly seven seven-cup wine cups! Perfectly matching the seven Servants present, even including Hattori Hanzo and Lancelot's cups. Clearly, the cups he had originally prepared were not appreciated.

Despite his arrogance, the King of Heroes doesn't look down on all other heroic spirits besides kings; after all, he is the "King of Heroes."

A simple "hero"

It doesn't make him dislike it.

.

Or rather, there is no "king".

This offensive title of "hero"

They were more amiable towards him.

In the original story, he looked down on Hassan because Hassan didn't participate openly; instead, he acted like an attacker. The Conqueror King wasn't unaware of this either. His invitation was partly to give Hassan an opportunity, and partly a convenient way for him to show off.

To be honest, Iskandar was indeed excellent at controlling his aura and timing. Despite his seemingly rough exterior, he possessed a wisdom that even Aristotle praised.

Furthermore, heroes of this class are generally not worthy of the King of Heroes' attention.

It's not surprising that Lancelot and Hattori Hanzo weren't treated differently. Leaving the former aside, the latter, despite being a ninja, also possessed a strong martial spirit and the temperament of a general.

Hattori Hanzo wasn't seen as a lowlife who only knew how to assassinate from the shadows, so he barely qualified to be seated.

However, I neither like nor hate it.

It still exists.

While others were either on guard or hesitant to make a move, only the Conqueror King happily took on the role of waiter, filling the wine glass and then eagerly drinking it down.

"Oh!!! This is delicious!"

He exclaimed in surprise as he finished the drink in one gulp, looking extremely happy.

Seeing this, the others drank it without hesitation.

Aizen, watching from the sidelines, twitched his brow slightly. Although he had long known that the King of Heroes would not share his sake with anyone other than the Servants, he was not the kind of person who...indulged in gluttony.

But when he actually smelled that aroma, enough to change his judgment and make him believe that the previous red wine was indeed inferior, his appetite was inevitably whetted.

His very subtle reaction was only noticed by Hanzo, who was always watching him closely.

After hesitating for a moment, Hanzo 1.

3 did not give up his drink.

This was not out of selfishness on his part, but rather because it was a gift from the King of Heroes. To casually give away someone else's precious gift would be an insult to his dignity.

Even if he didn't care about the consequences of angering the King of Heroes, he wouldn't do something so tasteless.

"King of Heroes, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

Hattori Hanzo, who had been silent since his appearance, spoke for the first time.

"Um"

Gilgamesh looked over with displeasure: "Bastard, if you can't give a straight answer, then you might as well leave this banquet of heroes."

"Besides us, there are a few other people here. A few more people shouldn't matter, right?"

This time it was Finn who spoke first. He understood Hanzo's meaning almost immediately and spoke up before anyone else, his tone quite provocative.

Chapter 487 An Awkward Atmosphere Pervades (Part 1/2)

As soon as Finn finished speaking, Gilgamesh's eyes narrowed, and an unintentional pressure suddenly filled the courtyard.

People like Matou Kariya couldn't help but show some signs of embarrassment.

"Ha, that's quite a bold statement."

Glancing at these people with a disdainful sneer, Gilgamesh's words carried a hint of murderous intent, "The king's favor is not something cheap. Those scum who cannot gain the king's approval are already fortunate enough to have the right to hear the king speak, yet they dare to ask for more."

The others remained silent, stunned by the tense atmosphere. The situation had become incredibly tense before they had even gotten to the main topic.

"The Masters also participated in this party; whether you admit it or not, they got involved before you."

Only Finn wasn't buying into the King of Heroes' act, and retorted in a loud voice: "As a newcomer, you look down on the drinks brought by the King of Conquerors, and you've taken away the host's right, yet you're so stingy. Is this your kingly demeanor?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Gilgamesh's face, but he quickly followed it with a cold laugh.

"Heh heh, how could you possibly know the extent of my wealth?"

"To prove my benevolence, I may temporarily acknowledge the qualifications of these scoundrels, but there are conditions attached to their drinking my wine."

Swish swish.

09 Several more golden cups popped out of the Gate of Babylon, their clanging as they landed on the table seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present.

Seeing the varying expressions on the faces of the others, Gilgamesh's expression became playful yet dangerous: "Only true heroes are worthy to drink my wine. After drinking it, they must possess their own words and will. If they fail to satisfy me, then they shall pay with their lives."

The sound of him swallowing hard in fear was so noticeable at that moment, and Webber's trembling body instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, don't be so embarrassing, little one."

The Conqueror patted Waver on the shoulder encouragingly, and then, without saying a word, picked up the jug and poured Waver a cup.

Iskandar had no intention of having his Master join in the drinking, since he had initially only wanted to debate with other Servants, or even just with a king.

He doesn't mind sharing material pleasures with others, and he understands that the King of Heroes is unwilling to share his fine wine with others. Even if their different personalities lead to different actions, it's still "the King's decision."

However, since someone had fought for this opportunity and the King of Heroes had agreed, he naturally wouldn't let his own side back down.

Having gradually come to accept this coward, the Conqueror King naturally didn't think he was inferior to other Masters. If he backed down now, wouldn't that be admitting his poor judgment?

"Hey! Hey! Hey!!!"

Seemingly sensing the King of Heroes's gaze, as if he were eyeing his prey, Waver couldn't help but grab his sleeve and shout, "If I can't satisfy that King of Heroes, I'm finished!!!"

Glug glug! Another familiar sound, but this time it was clearly the sound of swallowing alcohol.

The look of shock that had just crossed Weber's face was suddenly overshadowed by an intense pleasure: "Delicious, so good!!!"
