Gilgamesh was not interested in the Holy Grail.
What Gilgamesh was interested in were the heroic spirits participating in this Holy Grail War.
Throughout the boundless years, heroes would always be born.
To have been unable to meet them in life, and now to meet as heroic spirits in the Holy Grail War, was indeed a very interesting matter.
Therefore, what Gilgamesh cared about was the master of the Hanging Gardens, where were they now!
Bai Ye glanced at the Holy Grail, not rushing to claim it.
There was still ample time, so there was no need to be hasty.
What Bai Ye cared about was that throne. It looked too bizarre, and...
Bai Ye also smelled blood.
Bai Ye slowly paced towards the throne and then reached out to push it. Immediately, the throne slowly rotated.
Bai Ye's pupils contracted.
On the throne sat a man, or more accurately, a dead man!
"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 massive bloody hole pierced through 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 based on kills, so it wasn't surprising for Senar to appear before Bai Ye.
In his past life, this guy was known for his bloodlust, his greatest pleasure being the torture of his opponents.
But here was the problem.
Lan Xi's Servant was Scathach, Zack'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 ones, Fuuma Kotaro and the master of the Hanging Gardens, were yet to be confirmed.
However, it was highly likely that Fuuma Kotaro was Li Jiayi's Servant. After all, he was the first Servant Bai Ye encountered. At that time, Li Jiayi could speak with Bai Ye, and 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 showed on Bai Ye's face.
But at this moment...
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
A strange sound 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 upwards, engulfing Bai Ye.
Gilgamesh was attracted by the commotion and looked in Bai Ye's direction. However, as Gilgamesh took a step...
A "crack, crack" sound echoed all around.
Countless white bones fell from the sky, forming two enormous Bone 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 across the Bone Soldiers, she lifted her skirt and bowed slightly to Gilgamesh.
"I greet you, King of Heroes."
"It is you after all," Gilgamesh said. "Queen of the ancient kingdom, the oldest poisoner, Semiramis!"
Semiramis smiled. "It is my honor that King of Heroes recognizes me."
Gilgamesh snorted, then looked at the giant Bone Soldiers and said, "Do you think these things can stop me?"
"Naturally, they cannot," Semiramis smiled. "But since King of Heroes knows my epithet, you should know that your time is running out. So, even if these small things can delay for a second, it is still good."
"Oh? Is this your plan?"
Gilgamesh looked at Semiramis playfully, a hint of interest 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 all heroic spirits, was meaningless without a Master.
A heroic spirit without a Master would vanish.
So, why was Gilgamesh so confident?
"Damn it, a sneak attack!"
But at this moment...
Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out, and then, the mud ball shattered.
Bai Ye emerged from the mud ball, dripping wet.
"Peh!"
Bai Ye spat out sewage onto the ground and then looked at Semiramis, "This woman is the master of the Hanging Gardens?"
"Impossible!" Semiramis exclaimed, looking at Bai Ye. "Why are you alright?"
"Why shouldn't I be alright?" Bai Ye looked at Semiramis. "Where is that scoundrel Li Jiayi?"
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, a shadow appeared behind Bai Ye, lengthening slowly.
Suddenly...
Fuuma Kotaro emerged from the shadow, his short sword slashing towards Bai Ye's neck.
Clang!
The next moment, Bai Ye suddenly drew his sword and held the Xuanyuan Sword horizontally beside him.
The sword and blade clashed, emitting a crisp metallic sound.
Bai Ye spun around abruptly and swept a kick at Fuuma Kotaro's chest, sending him flying.
Then...
Bai Ye also frowned deeply.
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 have appeared here!
So, after Senar's death, his Servant should have disappeared, but now both were here...
The numbers didn't match!
Gilgamesh suddenly spoke, "Semiramis, the Queen of the ancient kingdom, bears the epithet of the oldest poisoner. The reason she earned this title was by poisoning her husband to become queen. After becoming a heroic spirit, betrayal became her ability."
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked, "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 exceeded my expectations. I had actually intended to confuse you all with this."
Bai Ye looked at Li Jiayi and snorted, "You really are persistent. No matter where I go, you're there."
Li Jiayi retorted angrily, "I wanted to say the same thing to you!"
Li Jiayi felt extremely wronged in his heart. He had been trying to avoid this bastard, so how could they meet again?
