Chapter 212
Irisviel looked at Lin Ye before her; dinner was already prepared. She had been thinking about whether to call Lin Ye, but it seemed that wouldn't be necessary now.
"Good morning, Irisviel. Good morning, Jeanne, My King."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Irisviel looked at the moon outside the window.
"This... is still 'good morning'?"
Irisviel was helpless, but she didn't say anything. After all, the Holy Grail War took place at night, so this time could be considered morning.
Lin Ye sat in his seat. Jeanne, on the side, looked at My King and then at Lin Ye, feeling that something was not quite right.
"Where is A-Rong? Why hasn't she come?" Lin Ye asked, seeing one person missing.
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Jeanne said, "A-Rong said that Heroic Spirits don't need to eat, and wasting time on that is better spent painting another picture, so she is still in the studio."
"This... alright, that's a pity." Lin Ye knew Heroic Spirits didn't need to eat, but eating wasn't just about filling one's stomach; it was about enjoying the food. So even if My King didn't need to eat now, she still ate when it was time.
And just as everyone picked up their cutlery to enjoy dinner, a sound rang out.
Rumble! Crackle!
"Hahahaha! Lin Ye! King of Knights! Guests have arrived, why not welcome them!"
Iskandar's voice arrived before he did. Hearing Iskandar's voice, Lin Ye sighed helplessly.
"It seems today's meal won't be eaten in peace."
Boom!
The moment Lin Ye's voice fell, Iskandar had already driven the Via Expugnatio into the hall. Lin Ye also stood up and walked toward the hall; behind him, the three women, Jeanne and the others, also stood up.
Seeing Lin Ye and the others appear, Iskandar laughed.
"Haha! There are so many people? It's really lively here."
"Food tastes better when there are more people." Lin Ye looked at Iskandar in front of him. "So, why aren't you eating at home and instead ran over here?"
"Haha! Didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to hold a banquet? Look!" Iskandar moved a barrel of wine off the Via Expugnatio.
"See? I brought my own fine wine. How about that, enough sincerity, right?"
This Great Emperor, you are too familiar. I did say I was going to prepare a banquet, but I don't think I said I invited you. I haven't even simulated you; we really aren't that close.
"Fine, come with me." Lin Ye waved his hand helplessly and led the group toward the courtyard in the back. Since they were already here, could he really drive them away? That would make him seem too petty.
Arriving at the Einzbern backyard, Iskandar, Lin Ye, My King, and Jeanne all took their seats. At the same time, Diarmuid also arrived.
"Lin Ye, I've caused you trouble."
Diarmuid nodded to Lin Ye and then sat down directly.
At the same time, behind Lin Ye, a dark shadow emerged from the shadows. This figure was none other than the Hundred Faces big sister. She looked at Lin Ye and suddenly knelt on one knee, saying, "Master."
"Hundred Faces, this is our first formal meeting, right?" Lin Ye smiled at Hundred Faces. Although Hundred Faces' presence in Fate had always been low, Lin Ye still saw many shining points in her, which was why Lin Ye was willing to help her back then.
"Alright, sit down."
"Yes, Master." Hundred Faces sat obediently in a seat to the side.
"Goldie! You guy, do you have to be the last one to show up?" Lin Ye shouted at the sky. He didn't even need to think; with this guy's personality, he must have arrived long ago and insisted on waiting until the last moment to appear, just to give people a sense of being a big shot.
Sure enough, as Lin Ye's voice fell, a hearty laugh rang out in the sky!
"Hahahahahaha! Lin Ye, you really do understand me!"
Swish.
In the sky, atop the Vimana, Goldie's figure stood against the wind! He looked at the group of Heroic Spirits below and then transformed into golden light as he descended. "Welcome your King! Mongrels!"
Goldie's figure descended from the sky. He looked at everyone in front of him, his eyes full of arrogance... looking at Lin Ye, who had stood up, he could say without hesitation:
Everyone sitting here is trash!
"Alright, turn off your taunt mode. You're late; one cup of wine as a penalty."
Lin Ye had Irisviel take out a pile of wine glasses and gave one to everyone.
Looking at the wine glass in his hand and smelling the scent of this inferior wine, Goldie's brow furrowed.
"Forget it, this wine is clearly brought by the tasteless Rider. Better drink mine."
Goldie snapped his fingers, and in the void, a golden wine pot and several golden cups appeared.
"I promised to treat you to the best wine in the world; I didn't break my word."
Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile.
Goldie actually still remembered this?
"Alright, you guy, you said you wanted to hold a banquet, but you didn't even prepare a single dish!"
Goldie said, sitting directly opposite Lin Ye. Hearing Goldie's complaint, Lin Ye shrugged helplessly.
"It's clearly because you all came too fast; I didn't prepare anything. How about this, this meal is on credit. If I can go to other worlds another day, I'll bring you back some real delicacies."
"Other worlds? Parallel worlds?" Goldie asked. As Heroic Spirits, they naturally knew that the Type-Moon World had many parallel worlds.
"Yeah, they are different. It's a bit troublesome to explain; let's wait until there's a real chance to show you later."
Lin Ye was naturally talking about worlds like Food Wars, Cooking Master Boy!, Dagashi Kashi, and Restaurant to Another World. He just didn't know if he would have the chance to go.
On the side, Iskandar didn't care about delicacies. After taking a big gulp of the fine wine in his cup, he started to have ulterior motives.
"Good wine! But... everyone here, the Holy Grail is different from a wine cup. Everyone here came for the Holy Grail, right? Now, shouldn't we discuss the ownership of the Holy Grail!"
