Chapter 457

It seemed that he was helpless at his Master's embarrassing behavior. Iskandar, who had been reprimanding the dull-haired man with a serious face just now, sighed in the blink of an eye.

"But Rider! But!"

——It is precisely because he understands this guy’s nature that he is uneasy!

Waver shouted uneasily and ran quickly towards his Servant, which was in sharp contrast to the calm Iskandar.

But it's no wonder he behaved this way.

After all, Lin Qiao apparently has the combat power of two Servants here, so basically everyone has to weigh it up.

Especially when the other party came to the Einzbern Castle uninvited and ran away no matter what.

So if possible, he really wants to go home...

"So, Weber, you are still the same as always."

He has a smart mind, but lacks courage...but there's nothing I can say about that.

Lin Qiao waved her hand helplessly and retracted the blocking field covering the surrounding area.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of fighting you just yet... Strictly speaking, we just came to Einzbern to find Mr. Kenneth's fiancée."

"Miss Sora? What happened to her?"

"Yes, she was kidnapped, and we happened to make a deal with Teacher Kenneth. In exchange, one of the conditions was to help rescue her."

But they didn't expect that a famous scene was going on at Einzbern Castle, so they simply stayed and watched.

Anyway, without the bunch of "artistic scenes" created by Gilles de Rais and Ryunosuke Uyu, it would be great to have two children with you to gain some exposure.

"I didn't do it!"

As if to get rid of suspicion, Weber shouted in a panic.

Although his reaction feels more like a guilty conscience, but...

"I know."

Lin Qiao nodded and looked seriously at Weber below: "After all, standing with Miss Sola, you are more like the one who was kidnapped."

"Well...."

Weber was just about to continue to provide evidence to refute something, but Lin Qiao's words made him blush.

Irisviel also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know... but a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

Although there was no direct evidence, her inner instinct told her that this incident was most likely related to Emiya Kiritsugu who was acting secretly.

Gilgamesh on the other side calmly held the golden cup in his hand, tasting the sweet wine inside, seemingly uninterested in all of this.

The only one who was in high spirits was Iskandar.

"But from what you just said, Caster, it seems that you have a different view."

He was not unhappy because of being judged before, and Iskandar's tone remained bold.

In other words, being able to fully listen to the opinions of others regardless of praise or criticism is a necessary ability in itself for a king who aims to conquer the world.

Just choosing to ask about this point may also indicate that he cares a little...probably.

"It's not really an opinion. After all, I'm not a king."

Although it was true that he took the power of Killbus, forcing himself to assume the identity of Blood Star King would only embarrass himself.

He touched Kiara's little head next to him, and then turned his head to look at Iskandar.

"But King Conqueror, in my opinion, the reason why humans are humans, and what makes them different from other beasts, is their desire to restrain or manage themselves."

"If it's just a matter of simply showing desire, even a wild dog on the roadside can do it, right?"

Will a king and his country be strong if they wantonly display their desires and lead the people forward?

Of course powerful.

In history, those kings who led armies of tigers and wolves to conquer all directions were all crushed and conquered by their armies, and they were feared wherever they went...

So what then?

Will countries that rely on force to launch wars wantonly last?

Or are the people under their command living well?

To be honest, this cannot be generalized, but both the death of Qin II and the empire established by Iskandar are good examples.

Moreover, fighting a war requires an army, and if you want to expand the army, you need people, especially young and strong labor.

It is undeniable that once the war begins, many people will achieve class leaps and become superiors in one fell swoop by virtue of their military exploits. However, compared to this, countless people will still die in it.

——In the ancient environment, it is self-evident what it means when a commoner's family lacks young labor.

"I'm not a king, so although I can understand some things, I can't put myself into the perspective of you princes and generals."

"The only thing I can bring in is the perspective of thousands of ordinary people."

"So tell me, King of Conquerors, do the civilians under your command want to see the sea at the end of the world that you mentioned, or do they just want a bowl of food that is enough to satisfy their hunger?"

Lin Qiao looked flatly at Iskandar below.

It is true that conquering the world sounds exciting, and it also brings positive effects such as cultural spread.

But for the common people who work every day, all they want is to survive.

In other words, for your ambition to conquer the world alone, you have to risk the lives of the whole country...

Anyway, if it were to be Lin Qiao, he would have to find some way to kill his own king who was full of thoughts.

And when it comes to showing desire, you see Killbus is enough to show it,

But what's the result?

The Blood Star trio and Evolto don't seem to be following the lead.

Chapter 588 Dumb, give Emiya Kiritsugu a message

Kingly way?

Dute Niang is talking nonsense!

It is true if the common people under his command can live a good life, and anything else is nonsense.

——And this is why Lin Qiao is disappointed with this so-called debate between kings.

I won’t comment on whether Dai Mao is a qualified king, but you, Iskandar, make it sound like you are qualified.

Lin Qiao was really shocked by his last words of "let the strongest inherit the empire" which plunged the entire empire into civil war.

——This thing may have been just a rumor in the world before he traveled through it, but here in Xingyue it is real!

No, you should make a strong claim at least!

Even if there is no use in giving it, I still give it to you anyway!

When he was alive, he had to fight against your external expansion. He finally managed to survive you, but in the end, he had to be divided by civil war because of this nonsense... Anyway, Lin Qiao felt quite numb if he really wanted to live in his era.

Or simply replace him or something.

In short, it doesn't matter if Iskandar criticizes Mao's stupid policies and incompetence and does not know how to balance the contradictions among his subordinates.

In other words, this is what Lin Qiao is really looking forward to.

But the reason is not enough to express one's own desires, which is a bit...

I can only say that there is a beauty in putting aside facts and reasoning.

"...This is really the first time I have been criticized so sharply."

Iskandar raised his head and took a sip of wine with a wry smile, but he accepted this statement for the time being.

As for other things...

No matter how he is dead, we can't let him imitate King Arthur and change history, right?

It can only be said that after using the Holy Grail to resurrect, be careful next time.

"But it seems that Caster, you approve of that little girl more?"

"No, that's not the case."

After shaking her head, Lin Qiao gave a surprising answer.

"I just can't stand it. People who sacrifice their lives to protect others are invaded by people from other countries. I just doubt life."

Those who work for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow - to put it bluntly, they simply cannot bear to see the other party bullying honest people.

As for talking about the other person's ideals...

"Didn't I say that? My greatest ideal is to prevent your ideals from being realized."

"This is really... Although it's a little late to say this, you are really a willful guy."

If Weber's attitude toward Lin Qiao seemed a bit exaggerated before, at this moment, Iskandar really almost understood it.

This kind of pure and unpretentious, it is clear that he wants to see other people suffer misfortune, but this guy's behavior cannot be said to be evil...

All in all, it's quite a headache.

"But, Caster, a person with such extraordinary abilities as being able to control time and being good at swordsmanship should logically leave a mark in history."

"But no matter what I think, I haven't found anyone who matches your characteristics, so I wonder if I can reveal it?"

Ask for your real name in person...

Iskandar's behavior shocked everyone present.

In every sense of the word, this is considered extremely disappointing and even unpleasant.

Gilgamesh next to him looked like he was watching a good show. Long before that, he used the "Omniscient and Almighty Star" to slightly flip the script... Just once, a small opening does not count!

In general, he knew the truth about the Holy Grail... However, precisely because he peeked at the script, he abandoned the plan to cultivate Kotomine Kirei's happiness.

After all, he knew the result directly, so it was really meaningless - which is why he closed the thing.

Moreover, because Kotomine Rimasa was brought down, the latter has been busy with the aftermath and has no time to train him.

In addition, he probably understood two things.

First, he is not here to work overtime.

Second, the Caster opposite who calls himself "Lin Qiao" is here to work overtime.

As for why I haven't seen someone in the crown position chat group... I can only attribute it to personality issues or other weird reasons for the time being.

For example, like Tai Gongwang, he thought he could get a crown position technique, but ended up getting a crown position riding or something.

"Actually, I am Gilgamesh..."

"Um!?"

Damn you!

The moment he heard Lin Qiao's pretended serious words, a certain king of kings was obviously stunned.

The handsome face instantly became ferocious and twisted.

Dozens of golden ripples spread out behind him in the blink of an eye.

"——What, of course that's impossible."

But before Gilgamesh could get angry, Lin Qiao smiled and waved his hand.

"And calm down, Gilgamesh. You in your old age and childhood, and Siduri, will cry when they see you like this."

"!"

As if time was flowing backwards, the ripples of the King's Treasure slowly closed, and Gilgamesh just twitched his mouth, snorted coldly, and then stopped talking.

Then Lin Qiao looked at Iskandar: "It's a pity, King of Conquerors, if you want to find me in history books, it's impossible."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the era, I wasn't born at this time."

Not to mention that he is not from this world at all.
