With continuous roars, the ground of the Einzbern courtyard was blasted into dust, but Lin Ye's body was not pierced at all, not even a single wound was left!
Divine power!
"How is this possible? What kind of magic is this?!" Waver was stunned. That was an attack from a Heroic Spirit! How did this man manage to block it? This is simply illogical!
"Completely unharmed? Just who is this Lin Ye?" Irisviel also sensed Lin Ye's power. She was already wondering if Lin Ye would also be unharmed if Kiritsugu Emiya used the Origin Bullet to attack him.
"Phew... thank goodness." Our king also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it's good that everyone is alright.
As for the hot-tempered Iskandar, he couldn't sit still any longer. He directly blocked Lin Ye's path, looking at Gilgamesh in front of him and saying...
"Jinpika, Lin Ye was invited by me. If you want to kill him, you're disrespecting me!"
“You bastard, do I need to give you face?” Gilgamesh stared at Iskandar without backing down.
So what if Lin Ye blocked one of his attacks? His Gate of Babylon contains an endless supply of magical artifacts. He refused to believe that Lin Ye could withstand a second, a third, or even a thirtieth attack!
Behind Gilgamesh, countless golden ripples appeared. Just now, there were only a few Noble Phantasms, but this time, Gilgamesh summoned hundreds of Noble Phantasms of all kinds!
However, facing the dazzling array of magical artifacts, Lin Ye fearlessly uttered a few words.
"Swastika! Annihilation of the Scenery!! Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
As Lin Ye's voice fell, rows of pink lightsabers floated neatly in mid-air behind him!
All three thousand lightsabers were aimed at the golden figure in front of them, and the aura emanating from each lightsaber was no less than that of the magical artifacts before them.
The tension was palpable, as if the world would be destroyed by their clash at any moment.
"Is this person... really human?"
In the basement of the Tohsaka family home, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was observing the scene through magic, was also terrified by Hayashi Yoru's methods.
How can a human possibly contend with a Heroic Spirit of Gilgamesh's caliber? Is this guy even human?
It's no wonder Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't believe it; he had genuinely never heard of Lin Ye before. He had initially doubted Lin Ye's earlier claim that he could connect to the Root, but now he was completely convinced.
Such power can only be obtained by reaching the source.
"No, we can't let Gilgamesh offend Lin Ye again."
Tokiomi Tohsaka realized this crucial point. Lin Ye was very strong, and he had no conflict of interest with him. So why would he provoke him for no reason? Wouldn't that be foolish?
Thinking of this, Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately sent a message to Gilgamesh, saying...
"Your Majesty, please restrain your newfound rage. To take action at a banquet is not befitting your royal demeanor."
Tokiomi Tohsaka tried to persuade Gilgamesh, but Gilgamesh was not the kind of person who would listen to reason.
After watching for a long time, the Lion King finally spoke.
"Is the banquet about to start? If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
The Lion King was always so outspoken, and seeing that the banquet was about to end in discord, Gilgamesh stopped what he was doing. He was genuinely interested in the situation before him, especially the two different Kings Arthur, which gave him a sense of pleasure.
"You bastard, you're lucky today. I have more to do, but after today... I will make you pay for your actions tonight."
"Oh, then let me see what price you can make me pay." Lin Ye replied without backing down. The Gilgamesh from the Fate/Zero world wasn't the complete Gilgamesh; he didn't even possess omniscience and omnipotence. Why would Lin Ye be afraid of him?
At this moment, King Pikachu withdrew all his Noble Phantasms and silently sat back in his previous position. Linlinye also withdrew Senbonzakura and sat between the King and the Lion King, turning the original square seating arrangement into a five-pointed star-shaped arrangement.
..... 0 ...
Lin Ye didn't care where he sat, but at this moment, he would lose face if he didn't act. He was determined to prove himself, and facing the dazzling golden light, Lin Ye naturally had the confidence to do so.
Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, Iskandar ladled up a glass of wine and handed it to Gilgamesh.
The aroma of the wine was very strong, but Gilgamesh only took one sniff before turning his head away.
"What kind of shoddy stuff is this? Do you really think you can measure a hero by something like this?"
As he spoke, Gilgamesh took out a golden wine jug from the Gate of Babylon. The lid of the jug was open, and an intoxicating aroma wafted from its spout, enough to make one's mouth water just by smelling it.
"You scoundrels, watch closely and remember this: this is the true king's wine."
Gilgamesh spoke proudly. He was the oldest king, and also the king who knew how to enjoy life the most. For him, it was either not to use anything at all, or if he was to use something, it had to be the best. And this wine was naturally a rare and exquisite wine that he had treasured for a long time!
However, seeing Jin Shanshan's smug expression, Lin Ye gently shook his head.
"Wine without food? That makes the banquet rather meager. Since you've brought out the best wine, then... I'll bring out the best food in the world."
At this point, Lin Ye's lips curled up slightly.
The culinary delights from MasterChef Junior are ready to be served!
Chapter 151 Unyielding Spirit and Golden Splendor
"The most delicious food in the world?"
At this moment, all four kings focused their attention on Lin Ye. They were all rulers of their respective countries; when it came to food, what delicious dish hadn't they tasted? Therefore, they simply smiled and dismissed Lin Ye's words.
"Hahaha! You bastard, you're utterly ridiculous! Whether it's food or wine, I only ever eat the best! As for the most delicious food you mentioned..." At this point, Gilgamesh's face was filled with an arrogant expression, "Let me tell you, no matter how delicious the food you bring out is, I won't even give it a second glance!"
That's right! Even if I, Gilgamesh, starve to death or die of craving, I would never eat the food that you, a bastard, offer!
I just got into a fight with this guy. What if he poisoned my food? Even if he didn't poison me, just spitting on me would make me feel unwell.
Looking at the expressions of the four people in front of him, Lin Ye didn't care at all. So what if you were once kings? The limitations of your era cannot be overcome, especially for you, Gilgamesh. In your era, there were no seasonings, no sugar, not even oil, salt, soy sauce, or vinegar. What good food could you eat?
So Lin Ye casually waved his hand, and the next second, tablecloths appeared out of thin air. Then, the more than one hundred dishes that Little Chef had given him were instantly spread all over the Einzbern courtyard.
Magical Mapo Tofu, Spicy Shrimp Rice, Phoenix Crystal Noodles, Special Unparalleled Noodles...
The moment hundreds of delicacies appeared, their aroma filled the entire Eindzbern Castle.
Fortunately, these dishes weren't freshly cooked, otherwise the golden light would probably have illuminated the entire night in Fuyuki City.
Glug...
In an instant, the Queen subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Everyone knew that she was a true foodie, and few in the entire Type-Moon could match her love for food.
Even Gilgamesh, standing to the side, couldn't help but swallow hard.
It's not that Gilgamesh is particularly greedy, but the human desire for food is the most direct instinctive reaction. Seeing delicious food will make you drool, seeing beautiful women will... cough cough, in short, the physiological reactions that are expected will definitely occur, it's just that some people have strong self-control so you can't see them.
Liu Xiahui's ability to remain unmoved by a woman's patronage was due to his strong self-control, not because he was a eunuch.
"Heh, it's just some food. Why would I, this king, indulge in such a small pleasure... Lin Ye! Fine, eat it, but can you please stop smacking your lips?!"
"That's how I eat, what's it to you?" Lin Ye smacked his lips even louder. Actually, Lin Ye also disliked people who smack their lips while eating, as it was a bit impolite. But he had to admit, seeing Jin Shanshan's angry expression...it felt so good!
Meanwhile, seeing Lin Ye eating so heartily, Iskandar couldn't resist picking up a beggar's chicken and taking a big bite!
"Wow!! This is delicious!!"
Iskandar exclaimed in surprise, then his mouth movements quickened. While eating, he spoke to Gilgamesh beside him.
"Golden Pikachu, are you really not going to eat a little? I dare say this is absolutely the kind of food you've never tasted before! Even the gods in heaven probably couldn't enjoy such a delicacy!"
Iskandar spoke his mind, enjoying the food and taking a big gulp of wine. He drank from large bowls and ate meat in large bites. He didn't look like a king, but he reminded Lin Ye of the Liangshan heroes in the Water Margin.
Hearing Iskandar say that, Gilgamesh's expression became even more awkward.
Damn it, the more you say that, the more I want to eat it! No way! I am Gilgamesh! How can I lose face here!
Then, Gilgamesh turned his gaze and saw that the King was sipping a plate of red oil dumplings in front of him.
Yes, they're small bites compared to Iskandar, but they're incredibly fast. Each dumpling is eaten in one bite, and in the blink of an eye, half a plate of red oil dumplings is gone.
Hey! What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you eating so heartily?! Seeing the King enjoying his meal, Lin Ye said to the King beside him...
"Don't just eat staple food, eat more vegetables. There are over a hundred dishes, enough for us to eat."
“Hunger is a formidable enemy, and I must always maintain my peak condition. So thank you for your hospitality, Lin Ye.” The King also politely expressed his gratitude to Lin Ye.
At that moment, seeing Gilgamesh watching the commotion from the sidelines, Iskandar kindly handed Gilgamesh a plate covered with a lid and said...
"Golden Pikachu? You really don't want some? It would be such a waste not to try such a delicious dish."
"I won't try it! I'd rather die than try it! I've eaten plenty of delicious food; I have no interest in such ordinary fare..."
"Really? But how can you judge whether the food you ate before was the most delicious if you don't taste it? Even if you want to argue that Lin Ye's food isn't the most delicious, you should try it first before you can argue."
That makes sense. How can I prove the food in front of me is ordinary if I don't eat it? Or... should I take a bite with a critical eye?
Hearing Iskandar say that, Gilgamesh thought to himself.
Just take a bite, and I'll tell you what real gourmet food is after I finish it!
So, Gilgamesh picked up the plate in front of him and then opened the lid!
brush!
Instantly, golden light shot out from the lid in front of them! The bright light illuminated the entire Einzbern courtyard! That golden light was even more dazzling than Gilgamesh's golden armor!
"What...what is this thing?! Why is a plate of fried rice glowing?!"
Gilgamesh was stunned; he felt his entire worldview crumble. "Magic! Lin Ye must have added magic to it!"
Gilgamesh comforted himself with this thought; he didn't believe a plate of fried rice could glow on its own. Then, he picked up a spoon and took a small bite, and then...
"Okay...cough cough!" Gilgamesh quickly suppressed the delicious food that was behind him.
At that moment, Lin Ye asked in a teasing tone.
"what about the taste?"
"How is it? This is simply the most delicious food I've ever eaten!" However, seeing Lin Ye's teasing gaze, Gilgamesh took a deep breath and said...
"I only took one bite, and I couldn't taste anything."
Then I took another big bite.
"what about the taste?"
"What's the rush? I'll eat a few more bites."
Five minutes later, Gilgamesh stared into deep thought at the plate in front of him, which was completely devoid of rice.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? I just wanted to have a taste, how did I end up almost swallowing the whole plate whole?!
Looking at Gilgamesh, who seemed to be questioning the meaning of life, Lin Ye asked once again.
"what about the taste?"
How was it? Gilgamesh looked at the empty plate in his hand. Would it be too fake of me to say it wasn't delicious?
Fine, as a king, one must have the courage to admit one's mistakes! So...
"This fried rice...it smells so good."
Chapter 152 Gilgamesh's Face Was Swollen from Being Slapped
With over a hundred dishes, even the King and the Lion King, with their enormous appetites, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Even though the Lion King lacked emotional depth, at least her taste buds hadn't disappeared, and she still thoroughly enjoyed delicious food.
After this meal, it was obvious that the four kings' attitudes towards Lin Ye had changed drastically. Even Gilgamesh no longer looked at Lin Ye with the expression of someone who regarded him as an ant.
As for Iskandar on the other side, he couldn't help but extend an olive branch to Lin Ye at this moment.
"Hahaha! Lin Ye! Your dishes are absolutely delicious! How about it? From now on, follow me. After I conquer the world, I'll give you power, wealth, fine wine, and beautiful women—whatever you desire! What do you say?"
Iskandar patted Lin Ye on the shoulder; he was genuinely amazed by the delicious food Lin Ye had brought out.
Unfortunately, Lin Ye only rolled his eyes at Iskandar's words.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in what you're talking about. Those things are just easy for me to get, and besides... don't you think it's insincere to give someone a blank check?"
You're still waiting for me to conquer the world? Do you even know what kind of world this is?! Although Lin Ye hasn't discovered any monsters or established the Hero Association based on his observations over this period, even so, the hidden masters in this world are not someone Iskandar can handle.
"Haha! It seems you'll only agree after you see my sincerity, Lin Ye. Alright! After I obtain the Holy Grail and conquer the world, I'll hire you as my chef!"
Iskandar patted his chest and said nonchalantly, seemingly quite confident that he could conquer the world.
However, seeing Iskandar seemingly already considering the Holy Grail his for the taking, Gilgamesh laughed disdainfully.
"You want to touch the Holy Grail without my permission? Fine, I'll show you who the Holy Grail truly belongs to later. But compared to that, Chef, from now on you'll follow me. Don't worry, I'm the richest man in the world. Whether it's wealth or power, whatever you need, I can give it to you!"
Gilgamesh also extended an olive branch to Lin Ye. For someone like Gilgamesh who pursues pleasure, he hopes to collect all things pleasurable into his royal treasury.
