Chapter 49
[B: This picture shows a tall woman with long hair and heterochromatic eyes.]
Looking at this picture, the smile on Iskandar's face grew wider.
He did not expect to see this old subordinate in this way today.
Unfortunately, this person's temper is too stubborn; she just refuses to respond to his summons.
[C: This one goes without saying, a familiar face who smokes, Lord El-Melloi II.]
Everyone subconsciously looked at El-Melloi II.
El-Melloi II: "Hmm, is there something about me this time?"
Iskandar: "Isn't that certain? Our relationship is so close."
[D: This is also a Servant everyone already knows, the big golden black man, Darius III.]
Emiya Kiritsugu: "Two with known identities, and two with unknown identities?"
Kayneth: "This question feels even harder to guess."
[Answering time is 5 minutes. Start answering now.]
"Brother Feng, how should we choose for this question?"
Rin Tohsaka asked Feng Xi in a low voice, and Zhang Jiao and the others also looked at Feng Xi.
"Choose, uh..."
Feng Xi just wanted to say choose A, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
This question asks for "the person with the closest relationship to the King of Conquerors," so does option A count?
So that's it; this question looks simple, but it actually has a trap.
However, it is also possible that he is overthinking it.
Moreover, it is also difficult to judge whether B or C has a closer relationship with Iskandar.
As for D, this is really just here to make up the numbers.
"I'm not sure about this question either,"
Feng Xi shook his head and said, "Let's just choose A, B, or C randomly."
"Is that so?"
Everyone had to analyze it themselves.
And after thinking for a long time, Feng Xi still chose B.
He decided to gamble based on his own thoughts.
Opposite them, Iskandar wanted to choose A directly, but was stopped by El-Melloi II and Waver.
They also discovered the trap in the question.
After some analysis, they also fell into a brainstorming session over ABC.
Finally, they decided to trust El-Melloi II's judgment and chose B.
At the same time, they also told Kayneth their analysis.
After all, their two groups are allies now.
As for the other groups, they really can only rely on gambling on luck.
[Time is up, answering is over.]
[Now announcing the answer.]
[A: Alexander, Rider, Iskandar in his youth.]
"What? This is Iskandar when he was a child!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka and other group members immediately looked at Iskandar.
Good heavens, what did you grow up eating? These are completely two different people, okay?
Iskandar laughed: "Haha, didn't I say it? I was also very handsome when I was a child, and could be called a beautiful boy."
Everyone: "..."
Nonsense, who would believe what you said at the time?
Feng Xi knew that Iskandar became like this because of his "God's Blessing" skill.
This skill uses Zeus's lightning to strengthen Iskandar's body and increase his divinity, but as a price, the rank of "Beautiful Boy" would continuously drop until it completely disappeared.
Iskandar being like this now clearly shows he doesn't know how many times he has strengthened himself.
[B: Hephaestion, Faker, to be precise, Hephaestion's twin sister, who has no name and is Iskandar's magical double.]
Kayneth: "Faker? A fake? How come there is another class?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Hephaestion's twin sister, I have never heard of this person."
"Oh my, did I guess wrong?"
Iskandar scratched his head and said, "No way, the sisters look exactly the same; it's really hard to tell them apart."
Waver: "Magical double, what is that for?"
"It's the person who replaces me in facing attacks from enemy mages."
Iskandar said seriously, "Mages in the past were very dangerous, especially methods like curses, which are hard to guard against."
"She is the double who helps me attract curses."
"So it's what's called a shadow warrior?"
Waver asked again, "Then why doesn't she have a name?"
Iskandar: "I wanted to give her a name at the time, but she refused."
Waver: "Hmm? Why?"
"Because most curses in the past used people's names as a medium for casting."
El-Melloi II explained, "As a magical double, she must have been given the name Iskandar, because only then could she help the King block curses."
"If she had her own name, the curses aimed at Iskandar would no longer be misled by her, meaning she would lose her status as a magical double."
"Ah, is that so?"
Iskandar laughed, "I didn't think that much at the time, so I wondered why her reaction was so strong."
Waver/El-Melloi II: "..."
[C: El-Melloi II, Caster, Alexander's teacher.]
"Teacher? Me?"
El-Melloi II was suddenly stunned.
Having not yet experienced the Singularity, he had no idea how he had inexplicably become the young Emperor's teacher.
"Hahaha, so you became this King's teacher in the future?"
Iskandar patted El-Melloi II on the shoulder and said, "It actually suits your identity quite well. How about I call you teacher now?"
"Stop messing around..."
El-Melloi II held his forehead, feeling his stomach ache again.
[D: Darius III, Berserker, the Conqueror King's opponent during his lifetime. Even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, his only wish is to fight the Conqueror King one more time.]
"So this guy is so unwilling."
Iskandar laughed, "It's a pity he didn't descend; otherwise, I would also like to fight him one more time."
"Self, double, teacher, opponent..."
Emiya Kiritsugu and the others finally realized the trap in this question, not knowing if they had chosen correctly.
Now, they just wait for the system to announce the correct answer.
[The correct option is B.]
[Congratulations to Waver, Feng Xi, the King of Heroes, Kayneth, the Conqueror King, Diarmuid, Emiya Kiritsugu, Sakura Tohsaka, El-Melloi II, Ishtar, Sola, and the Valkyrie for receiving 5 Saint Quartz.]
[Bluebeard gives up on this round of answering.]
[All others answered incorrectly and will have 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]
"So it really was a word game."
Waver and the others subconsciously looked at El-Melloi II; fortunately, he discovered it early.
"Stare..."
Rin Tohsaka also looked at Feng Xi with some resentment.
Feng Xi: "Don't look at me, I guessed this question too."
"Do you believe what you just said?"
Rin Tohsaka pouted and said, "Next time, no matter what you say, I will follow you and choose."
[In this round of answering, the Conqueror King had the highest win rate, followed by Feng Xi and Ishtar, and then Waver, Kayneth, Diarmuid, El-Melloi II, Sola, and the Valkyrie, who are rewarded with one Gold, Silver, and Bronze chest respectively.]
[Today's answering is over, continue tomorrow.]
Subsequently, the figures of everyone disappeared from the hall and were sent back to their respective places.
Only the First Emperor remained here, but he could feel that after his Reality Marble was lifted, he would also return directly to the present world.
"Not even a trace of magical fluctuation was produced; this system is truly amazing."
"Let's see what can be opened this time."
After returning home, looking at the silver chest in his hand, Feng Xi opened it directly.
This was the first silver chest he had opened; he wanted to see the difference between the items opened and those from the gold chest.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 'Mystic Code: Awakened Will'!"
A card fell into Feng Xi's hand; the picture was of Kariya Matou with half his face disfigured in the original work.
The effect is that it can make one's will become extremely firm, unshakable by anything.
Oh my, this is a good thing.
