Chapter 142
“Of course. But the thief who got his hands on my treasure must be punished accordingly. The key is a matter of principle.”
Jin Shanshan said as a matter of course.
“You mean——”The King of Conquerors finished his drink and continued,”What? Archer, do you mean to say that there is any justice or reason in your actions?”
“Yes, this is the law.” Jin Shanshan seemed to have expected the King of Conquerors to ask this question, so he answered immediately without thinking. He said proudly:”As a king, I enforce the laws of my own king.”
“Hmm.” The King of Conquerors seemed to accept his theory and stopped asking questions. He took a deep breath and commented,”It’s a perfect statement. Only those who enforce their own laws can be the ruler of a country. But…”
He paused and continued with a chuckle,”I want the Holy Grail so badly. My way is to plunder it if I want it, because I, Iskandar, am the King of Conquerors.”
“There is nothing to say. If you break the law, I will punish you. There is no room for debate.”
Jin Shanshan replied in an unquestionable tone.
“Well, in this case, we can only fight with weapons.”Faced with Jin Shanshan’s serious attitude, the Conqueror King showed a refreshing expression that swept away all doubts.
The two agreed and nodded to each other.
The Conqueror King said again:”——But Gilgamesh, finish this bottle of wine first, okay? If you want to fight to the death, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Gilgamesh raised his eyes, and was quite tolerant of the atmosphere here, and said:”Of course, or did you originally plan to waste the wine that I invited you to drink?”
The King of Conquerors laughed:”What a joke, how can anyone give up such top-quality wine?”
My king has been frowning and silently watching Gilgamesh and the King of Conquerors gradually create a communication relationship that is not sure whether it is hostility or friendship. At this time, she finally asked the King of Conquerors:”King of Conquerors, since you have admitted that the true ownership of the Holy Grail belongs to others, do you still want to seize it by force?”
The King of Conquerors was stunned for a moment before saying:”——Hmm? Yes, do you even need to ask? My kingly way is conquest… that is to say, everything comes down to plunder and aggression.”
My king couldn’t bear to hear such a robber’s words that violated the chivalric ethics, so he suppressed his anger in his heart and continued to ask:”What is your wish for the Holy Grail that makes you so unscrupulous?”
The King of Conquerors didn’t know if he heard the bad tone of my king. He seemed a little embarrassed. After chuckling twice, he took a sip of wine first, and then replied:”I want to get the body.”
Hearing this, Ye Yichen almost laughed.
You know, if the King of Conquerors knew the truth of the Holy Grail War, he didn’t need to make a wish to the Holy Grail at all, but the premise of getting the body was to be contaminated by the black mud-the evil of this world, then would he still be embarrassed?
The answer of the King of Conquerors was an answer that no one could have expected except him. As for Weber, he was so surprised that he couldn’t help but screamed, and rushed to the King of Conquerors and asked:”You, you, you! Your wish is not to conquer the world—Wow.”
The King of Conquerors used his usual trick of flicking his forehead to shut Weber up, shrugged and said,”Fool. Why would I let a cup conquer the world? Conquering is my dream, and the wish for the Holy Grail is just the first step to realize this dream.” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Miscellaneous cultivator… You are not challenging me just for such a trivial matter, are you?”
Even Gilgamesh showed a surprised expression this time, but the King of Conquerors was still very serious and said,”Although we use magic to appear in this world, we are spiritual bodies after all. To this world, we are a miracle – if you really want to say it, we are like an unexpected visitor. Do you think this is enough? I think it is not enough. I want to become a living being and take root in this reincarnated world.”
“……Why do you want a body so badly?”Weber suddenly interrupted. He remembered the strange habit of the King of Conquerors who always resisted becoming a spirit and preferred to maintain his physical form. He was indeed just a phenomenon called spirit. Even though he could talk, dress, and eat like a human, he was essentially no different from a ghost.
“Because that is the foundation of conquest.”The King of Conquerors tightly grasped the giant’s palm with bulging joints, looked at his fist and whispered:”With my own unique body, I hold my head high and face the world. This is what conquest is all about… It is my domineering way to take action, move forward, and achieve goals like this. But now I don’t even have a body. This won’t do. I can’t even take the first step. I, Iskandar, need a body of my own, a body that can stand upright.”
Golden Flash silently brought the wine glass in his hand to his lips, not knowing if he was listening to the King of Conquerors. But if you look closely, the expression on the corners of his mouth and the smile on his face seem very sinister, which makes people shudder.[]
But before Jin Shanshan could speak his mind, Ye Yichen spoke first.
To be honest, after hearing the words of the King of Conquerors, he suddenly had the idea of destroying him.
So although he didn’t sneer, his voice was cold, and this was the first time he showed his edge.
“——I have decided. King of Conquerors, I will kill you!”
As soon as the words came out, Jin Shanshan was stunned, because this was his line after all, and it was the king’s order he was going to convey to the King of Conquerors.
But why did Ye Yichen reach a consensus with him and seemed to have such a tacit understanding?
Jin Shanshan picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass silently. There seemed to be doubts and ripples in his red jade eyes.
But the King of Conquerors was a little confused about his declaration of war, and he couldn’t figure it out for a while.
