"Report to the King, Waver Velvet has completed his mission!"
Weber had waited for this moment for a long time, thinking about it day and night, looking forward to it day and night.
Over the past ten years, he had thought about it countless times, thinking about what to say to him when they said goodbye. Tell him about his growth, how much he had done, how hard he had worked, and how he had not damaged his reputation.
However, when he really saw it and recalled what had happened before, he found that he didn't need so many words. Just one sentence of successfully completing the task was enough.
His own growth and what he did were all natural, because they were all part of his mission and what he should do. If he failed to do it, he should report it to the king and ask the king to punish him.
"You did a great job, Waver." Iskandar patted Waver on the shoulder, "You have really grown into an excellent minister."
"This is what I should do."
Weber responded with a trembling voice, and his excitement caused Faker to curl his lips in dissatisfaction; Flatt and Sphincolles whispered to each other, saying things like "The professor would be like this too", "Wow, will the professor cry?", "Keep your voice down, they can hear you"; this also made Grey cover her chest, her wish, his wish was finally fulfilled, they finally met.
"Hero King, I want to thank you for not killing Weber." Iskandar turned and said sincerely to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh snorted, not accepting it. "He earned it. If he had behaved like a bastard at all, I would have killed him. There are already enough bastards in this world, and I don't want to see more. I am glad that you are not a bastard, and you have not become one. Keep working hard, boy, and don't bring shame to the King of Conquerors."
"You don't need to tell me." Weber replied with his neck stiff.
Gilgamesh was not angry, he just laughed and said, "You are much tougher than before, it seems you have grown a lot in the past ten years. Very good, otherwise it would be meaningless. The King of Conquerors has already failed once ten years ago, if you are still the same, such a challenge is not worth looking forward to."
"This time, we won't lose!" Waver gritted his teeth and declared to the King of Heroes.
"Well said!"
Iskandar slapped Weber's shoulder again. Because he was too excited, he slapped too hard and almost knocked Weber to the ground.
"Did you hear me, Hero King? We will defeat you this time!"
"Although you have no hope, I still look forward to it." Gilgamesh showed a slight sneer mixed with murderous intent, "Speaking of which, King of Conquerors, how long are you going to occupy my treasure?"
"Eh? Wasn't it you who gave it to me as a gift?"
Iskandar tilted his head and pretended to be surprised. He even put his hand holding the treasure behind his back. Faker and Webber were speechless. This guy's old habit of wanting good things when he sees them came back again.
"You are a king after all, don't always act like a clown." Gilgamesh laughed, "Although this may please me, I should have said that anyone who intends to get his hands on my treasure will be punished - or do you choose to challenge me in this way?"
"It's not impossible for you to understand it that way—"
Iskandar smiled fearlessly, seemingly not taking the last defeat to heart at all.
"King." Waver finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered in Iskandar's ear, "Gilgamesh is serious. Have you thought of a strategy to defeat him?"
"Absolutely not!" Iskandar shook his head without hesitation.
"My king," Weber began to feel a headache, just like when he was facing his own problem student.
"Stop talking, this is my decision!" Iskandar still didn't listen.
"Idiot! Are you going to force me to use the Command Seal?" Waver could no longer bear it and even called him "idiot".
"Hey, you are my subject."
"It is the duty of the minister to advise the king when he makes a mistake. Anyway, you should return the things as soon as possible!"
"No, it's not easy to take away things that are in my hands, unless you exchange them for something else—"
At this point, Iskandar revealed a cunning smile that was inconsistent with his forthright image.
"—like the wine I drank last time. It was really unforgettable."
"So that's what you're after. As expected of the King of Snatch, you'll keep staring at any treasure that's shown to you."
Gilgamesh's murderous intent turned into helplessness.
"There is wine, but it is not time to drink it yet."
"Is there any better time than this for me to meet you again?"
"You are not the only familiar person I met. The Queen of Shadow Country also participated in this war. She is also an opponent I have identified."
Hearing this news, Iskandar smiled even more happily.
"Oh? She's here too? That's really interesting, please invite her here right away. There's a saying in the ancient country that neighbors this country that it's better to do it now than to wait for a good day. I can't wait to start the banquet. To celebrate Weber's contribution and to celebrate meeting you again!"
"Don't be so anxious, King of Conquerors. The Holy Grail War has just begun. There may be other people worth looking forward to."
Gilgamesh would never have said such a thing ten years ago. However, after seeing the examples of Iskandar and Scathach, although he still maintained his arrogant attitude of "I am the best in the world", he did not only despise other participants.
"Well, then we won't be able to drink much wine. There isn't much wine in the jug to begin with." Iskandar scratched his head in annoyance.
"If I remember correctly, you are the one who is most interested in those so-called heroes."
"Yes, that's why I am troubled."
"Then just lure them all out." Someone who was fearless suddenly said.
"Flat, it's rude to interrupt!" Coles quickly put the suppressor into use.
"But someone is approaching." Sifen also said, "In that direction, this smell... It should be a Servant."
Everyone present looked at the direction that Sfin pointed at. Soon, they all felt the powerful aura that belonged to the Servant, and it was extraordinary powerful, almost powerful enough to compete with Iskandar and Gilgamesh.
Faker had a serious expression, Iskandar looked curious, and Gilgamesh sneered.
"If you want to pay me a visit, you should at least ask for it in a dignified manner, you ignorant bastard!"
