Gilgamesh had no interest in the Holy Grail.
What Gilgamesh found interesting were the Heroic Spirits participating in this Holy Grail War.
Throughout the boundless years, heroes were always born.
It was an interesting thing to be able to meet in the Holy Grail War after becoming Heroic Spirits in death, having been unable to meet in life.
Therefore, Gilgamesh cared about the master of the Hanging Gardens, and where they were at this moment!
Bai Ye glanced at the Holy Grail, not rushing to claim it.
There was still enough time, so there was no need to be in a hurry.
What Bai Ye cared about was that throne. It looked too bizarre, and besides...
Bai Ye also smelled blood.
Bai Ye slowly paced towards the throne and then reached out to push it. Immediately, the throne slowly turned around.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted.
Sitting on the throne was a man, or more accurately, a dead man!
"Senal Dalilo?"
Bai Ye recognized the man before him, an old acquaintance from his previous life, one of the executives of the Hidden Dragon Society.
Now, Senal sat on the throne, a gaping hole in his chest, his face pale, his blood already starting to congeal. He had clearly been dead for a long time.
Bai Ye frowned. This guy should be a Master, right?
The selection criteria for this wish mission was the number of kills, so Bai Ye was not surprised to see Senal appear before him.
In his previous life, this guy was known for his bloodlust, his greatest pleasure being to torture his opponents.
But here was the problem.
Lan Xi's Servant was Scathach, Zach's Servant was Astolfo, his own Servant was Gilgamesh, Ichira's Servant was Heracles, and Cao Mingjin's Servant was the King of Knights.
These were all confirmed.
The remaining one was Fuuma Kotaro and the master of the Hanging Gardens, who were yet to be confirmed.
However, Fuuma Kotaro was highly likely to be Li Jiayi's Servant. After all, he was the first Servant Bai Ye encountered. At that time, Li Jiayi, being able to talk to Bai Ye, naturally knew Bai Ye's location.
Therefore, Fuuma Kotaro should be Li Jiayi's Servant.
Then, the master of the Hanging Gardens should be Senal's Servant.
But if this deduction was correct, why was Senal dead?
Or...
Was Fuuma Kotaro actually Senal's Servant?
And the master of the Hanging Gardens was actually Li Jiayi's Servant?
Confusion flickered across Bai Ye's face.
Just then...
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
A strange sound came from under Bai Ye's feet.
Looking down, the ground had turned into a muddy swamp, and green bubbles were constantly rising. Then...
The mud surged up, engulfing Bai Ye.
Gilgamesh, alerted by the commotion, looked in Bai Ye's direction. However, as soon as Gilgamesh took a step.
"Crick, crack" sounds suddenly echoed around.
Countless white bones rained down from the sky, forming two giant Dragon Tooth soldiers, blocking Gilgamesh's path.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...
Crisp footsteps sounded.
A woman in a black Western-style dress suddenly appeared, walking gracefully. Then, from beyond the Dragon Tooth soldiers, she lifted her skirt and bowed slightly to Gilgamesh.
"I greet you, King of Heroes."
"It is you, as expected," Gilgamesh said. "Queen of the ancient kingdom, the oldest poisoner, Semiramis!"
Semiramis smiled. "It is my honor that King of Heroes recognizes me."
Gilgamesh let out a cold snort and then looked at the giant Dragon Tooth soldiers. "Do you think these things can stop me?"
"Naturally, they cannot," Semiramis smiled. "But since King of Heroes knows my title, you should also know that your time is running out. Therefore, even if these small things can delay you for a moment, it is still good."
"Oh? Is that your plan?"
Gilgamesh looked at Semiramis teasingly, a flicker of interest suddenly appearing in his eyes. He then crossed his arms and met Semiramis's gaze.
Semiramis looked confused. Was she not going to attack?
Even the famous King of Heroes, a top-tier existence among Heroic Spirits, was meaningless without a Master.
A Servant who lost their Master would disappear.
So, why was Gilgamesh so unperturbed?
"Damn it, a sneak attack!"
Just then...
Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out, followed by the mud ball shattering.
Bai Ye emerged from the mud ball, soaking wet.
"Pah!"
Bai Ye spat out the dirty water onto the ground and then looked at Semiramis. "Is this woman the master of the Hanging Gardens?"
"Impossible!" Semiramis exclaimed, looking at Bai Ye. "Why are you unharmed?"
"Why should I be harmed?" Bai Ye looked at Semiramis. "Where is that scoundrel Li Jiayi?"
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, a shadow appeared behind him, slowly elongating.
Suddenly...
Fuuma Kotaro emerged from the shadow, his short blade slashing towards Bai Ye's neck.
Clang!
The next instant, Bai Ye suddenly raised his sword, holding the Xuanyuan Sword horizontally to his side.
Blade met blade with a crisp clang.
Bai Ye spun around abruptly and swept a kick to Fuuma Kotaro's chest, sending him flying backward.
Then...
Bai Ye also frowned deeply.
What was going on?
Whether it was the master of the Hanging Gardens or Fuuma Kotaro, Senal had to be the Master of one of them, right?
Otherwise, Senal wouldn't have appeared here!
So, after Senal's death, his Servant should have disappeared. But now, both of them were present...
The numbers didn't add up!
Gilgamesh suddenly spoke, "Semiramis, Queen of the ancient kingdom, bearing the title of the oldest poisoner. The reason she holds this title is that she poisoned her own husband, thus becoming queen. After becoming a Heroic Spirit, betrayal became her ability."
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then said, "So, these two are now both Li Jiayi's Servants?"
"You guessed correctly," Li Jiayi walked in from outside the banquet hall, sighing. "The King of Heroes' erudition exceeded my expectations. I had intended to mislead you all with this."
Bai Ye looked at Li Jiayi and snorted, "You really are inescapable. No matter where I go, you're there."
Li Jiayi was annoyed. "I wanted to say the same to you!"
Li Jiayi felt wronged. He had been trying to avoid this scoundrel, so why did they meet again?
