Gilgamesh had no interest in the Holy Grail.
What interested Gilgamesh were the Servants participating in this Holy Grail War.
Throughout the boundless years, many heroes were born.
It was a great pity not to have met them in life, but to meet them in the Holy Grail War after becoming Heroic Spirits was also a most fascinating thing.
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 in a hurry to take it into his possession.
There was still ample time, so there was no need to rush.
What Bai Ye was concerned about was that throne, which looked too bizarre, and besides...
Bai Ye also smelled blood.
Bai Ye slowly paced towards the throne and reached out to push it. Immediately, the throne slowly rotated.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted involuntarily.
A man sat on the throne, or more accurately, a dead man sat on the throne!
"Senar Dalilo?"
Bai Ye recognized the man before him, an old acquaintance from his past life, one of the executives of the Hidden Dragon Society.
Now, Senar sat on the throne, a gaping bloody hole piercing his chest. His face was pale, his blood had begun to congeal, and he had clearly been dead for a long time.
Bai Ye frowned. This guy should be the Master, right?
The selection criteria for this wish mission was the number of kills, so Senar appearing before Bai Ye did not surprise him at all.
In his past life, this guy was known for his bloodlust, his greatest hobby being to torture his opponents.
But here was the problem.
Lan Xi's Servant was Scathach, Zak's Servant was Astolfo, his own Servant was Gilgamesh, Yichila's Servant was Heracles, and Cao Mingjin's Servant was the King of Knights.
These were all confirmed.
The remaining are Fuuma Kotaro and the master of the Hanging Gardens, which had not yet been 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 speak with 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 Senar's Servant.
But if this deduction was correct, why was Senar dead?
Or...
Was Fuuma Kotaro Senar's Servant?
And the master of the Hanging Gardens was actually Li Jiayi's Servant?
Confusion flickered across Bai Ye's face.
And at this moment...
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
A strange sound suddenly came from under Bai Ye's feet.
Looking down, the ground had turned into muddy swamp, bubbling with green bubbles, and then...
The mud surged up and enveloped Bai Ye.
Gilgamesh was drawn by the commotion and looked towards Bai Ye, but just as Gilgamesh took a step.
A "crackling, crackling" sound suddenly echoed around.
Countless white bones rained down from the sky, forming two giant Dragon Tooth Warriors who blocked Gilgamesh's path.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...
A crisp sound of footsteps echoed.
A woman in a black western-style dress suddenly appeared, walking gracefully. She then stopped behind the Dragon Tooth Warriors and, lifting the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly to Gilgamesh.
"I greet you, King of Heroes."
"It is you after all," Gilgamesh said. "The Queen of the Ancient Kingdom, the oldest poisoner, Semiramis!"
Semiramis smiled. "It is my honor that Your Excellency, the King of Heroes, recognizes me."
Gilgamesh snorted, then looked at the giant Dragon Tooth Warriors and said, "Do you think these things can stop me?"
"Naturally, they cannot," Semiramis smiled. "But since Your Excellency, the King of Heroes, knows my title, you should know that your time is not long. Therefore, it is good if these small things can delay you even for a second."
"Oh? Is that your plan?"
Gilgamesh looked at Semiramis with amusement, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. He then crossed his arms and stared at Semiramis.
Semiramis's face showed confusion. Was she not going to attack?
Even the renowned King of Heroes, a being at the apex among Heroic Spirits, was of no use without a Master.
A Servant who lost their Master would vanish.
So why was Gilgamesh so fearless?
"Damn it, a sneak attack!"
And at this moment...
Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out, and then the mud ball shattered.
Bai Ye emerged from the mud ball, soaked.
"Ptooey!"
Bai Ye spat the muddy water onto the ground and then looked at Semiramis, "Is this woman the master of the Hanging Gardens?"
"Impossible!" Semiramis exclaimed in shock, 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 lengthening.
Suddenly...
Fuuma Kotaro emerged from the shadow, his short sword slashing towards Bai Ye's neck.
Clang!
The next moment, Bai Ye suddenly raised his sword, blocking with the Xuan-Yuan Sword held horizontally at his side.
The sword and blade collided with a clear ringing sound.
Bai Ye spun around and swept a leg at Fuuma Kotaro's chest, sending him flying back.
Then...
Bai Ye's brow furrowed.
What was going on?
Whether it was the master of the Hanging Gardens or Fuuma Kotaro, Senar had to be one of their Masters.
Otherwise, Senar wouldn't be here!
Then, after Senar's death, his Servant should have disappeared, but now both were still here...
The numbers didn't add up!
Gilgamesh suddenly spoke, "Semiramis, Queen of the Ancient Kingdom, holder of the title of the oldest poisoner. The reason she bore this title was that she poisoned her own husband, and only then did she become Queen. After becoming a Heroic Spirit, betrayal became her ability."
Bai Ye blinked, then said, "So, these two are now Li Jiayi's Servants?"
"You guessed correctly," Li Jiayi walked in from outside the banquet hall, sighing. "The King of Heroes' knowledge has exceeded my expectations. I had intended to deceive you all with this."
Bai Ye looked at Li Jiayi and snorted, "You truly are a persistent nuisance. Wherever I go, you're there."
Li Jiayi was annoyed. "I was about to say the same thing to you!"
Li Jiayi felt incredibly wronged. He had gone out of his way to avoid this scoundrel, so why did he run into him again?
