Almost everyone knows that you can't eat too fast, otherwise you will choke.
Of course, Rin knew this, but because she was too anxious, she accidentally forgot. Before the previous piece of flesh was chewed, the next piece of flesh entered her mouth, and the former was pressed into the esophagus, and the result was—
"Ahem... Ahem."
He wailed and coughed, and it took him a long time to squeeze out that crucial word - "water".
It was at this time that Gilgamesh handed a bottle to Rin. Before that, he had been enjoying watching Rin blushing as she choked on the fruit pulp.
Lin poured it into his mouth without even looking at it, flushing all the blocked food into his stomach in one breath before he let out a long breath.
"Huh~ I'm finally alive... Uh, what's this smell? What did you give me to drink?"
It was not until this moment that Rin noticed something was wrong. What she drank did not seem like water, and the bottle in her hand was not right either—the Tohsaka family had never used such a luxurious container.
"Water of life."
"Ah? Water of Life?" Lin was stunned. This was also a legendary treasure. Was he just drinking it as a drink
"Treasures like the Golden Apple are not easy to digest. Use the Water of Life with it to avoid waste and ensure that the effects of the Golden Apple are fully absorbed by your body."
With Gilgamesh's explanation, what else could Rin say
"Oh...thank you."
"This is the first time you've said thank you to me." Gilgamesh laughed, "It seems you've finally realized my charm."
"Ah, here we go again."
Lin covered his forehead, why was it that every time he was touched, this guy would completely destroy it. But this time, for the sake of the treasure, he would not bother with him.
"Yes, yes, my charming and shining king, if you have any other recommendations, please share them with us."
"That's all the direct suggestions. The rest is the choice of weapons and armor. I haven't seen you fight, so you can choose for yourself. First of all, clothes—"
Gilgamesh waved his hand casually, and the bottle of water of life disappeared. Then, one piece of armor after another was displayed in front of Rin, from cloth and leather to metal, from robes to armor. All of them were women's styles. The lightest ones only had a few leaves, and some people believed that they were the original source of sexy lingerie. The most solid ones were thicker than the golden armor that Gilgamesh often wore.
Rin has become numb. She has eaten things of the same level as the golden apple and the water of life. No matter what exaggerated treasure Gilgamesh takes out, she will not find it strange.
Rubbing her eyes which were a little blurry due to the reflection of the precious light, the girl began a new round of selection.
The first thing to exclude is some equipment that is too light. Although the attached special effects are indeed magical, if they are worn, the reputation of the Tousaka family and Rin herself will be ruined.
Metal armor is also ruled out. It looks heavy and I would not be able to hold on for long if I really put it on before I collapse from exhaustion.
What really suits you should be a cloth robe or light leather armor, which has a certain degree of defense and can defend against both physical and magical defenses, and it would be best if it has some special effects.
After this screening, the scope suddenly became much smaller, and there were five options left, namely two robes and three leather armors.
Just when Lin was about to further refine and choose the equipment that suits him best, an accident happened.
A sharp gust of wind suddenly blew through the streets of Miyama-cho.
Like a gust of wind cut in half, it passed through the sky above Fuyuki City in a straight line.
It cut through the air, releasing shock waves and making a harsh sound. When the people below felt something was wrong and looked up to find the source of the sound, the gust of wind had already gone away.
The object that caused the gust of wind was just an arrow.
The target location is the Tousaka family, located in the prime location of the luxurious residential area in Miyama-cho.
After entering the residential area, the arrow's speed gradually slowed down and its height rapidly decreased, and finally hit the window of the study on the second floor at a standard 45-degree angle - where Rin and Gilgamesh were.
Although the power attached to the arrow was almost exhausted, the impact of falling from midair was still not to be underestimated. The specially treated peeling instantly shattered, and the arrow continued to move forward, crossing the windowsill and the desk, and finally landed exactly in the middle of Rin and Gilgamesh, hitting the leather armor closest to Rin.
After a short muffled sound, the leather armor fell to the ground, and the arrow bounced along its original path and was caught by Gilgamesh.
"How dare you attack—huh? Is this... a letter?"
As he cursed instinctively, the King of Heroes caught a glimpse of the foreign object at the end of the arrow.
It was a piece of sky blue velvet cloth, tied to the arrow shaft in a special way. The exposed part had a line of words written in beautiful cursive English - the current head of the Zhiyuanzaka family.
Gilgamesh threw the item to Rin and said in a disappointed tone:
"Looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
Lin was slightly stunned, quickly picked up the arrow and unfolded the letter. After a few seconds, the girl's eyes became serious.
There were only three short lines on the velvet:
The first line is the title - Declaration of War.
The other line also has only one sentence - to settle the grudge from seventy years ago.
The last line is signed - Edelfeldt.
Edelfeltrin knew that her grandmother was from this family, which was said to be a famous family in Finland. However, the two families had never had any contact over the years, and now this happened again, and they clearly wanted to settle the feud. It seemed that there was indeed some unpleasantness between the ancestors of the two families.
Seventy years ago... If I'm not mistaken, it was the time of the Third Holy Grail War.
"Archer, can you locate the person who shot the arrow?"
"It's a small matter."
Gilgamesh casually grabbed a treasure from the treasury, a golden ring floating in the air with a strange distorted lens in the center. The center of the lens reflected the scene far away.
"Oh? He is a man of the same taste as me, and his job title seems to be the same as mine."
The man in golden armor holding a golden bow appeared in the center of the circle. His extraordinary presence must have made him a servant.
As if sensing the peeping from afar, the other golden archer raised his head. His sharp gaze could be clearly perceived even through the screen, as if he was looking directly at the peeper in the distance.
"Rin, what are you going to do?" Gilgamesh asked.
"The grudges forged during the Holy Grail War will also be settled with the Holy Grail War. I accept this challenge! As the head of the Tōsaka family and as a participant in the Holy Grail War."
Lin nodded resolutely, then bent down, picked up the leather armor knocked down by the arrow, and put it on one by one.
She had also chosen the armor. Even though it was an accident, being able to remain unscathed from such an arrow was a good omen - this was it.
