Waver's miserable cries echoed through the sky.
"Rider! Put me down!"
"Hurry up and put me down—"
Immediately after, Iskandar descended to the ground, riding his chariot, with his Master Waver clinging to his shoulder.
"Hahaha—"
Hearty, unrestrained laughter reverberated across the dock.
Iskandar looked at Su Luo with admiration. "Well done, Master of Lancer. To think you could block Saber's sword and even control her so firmly."
"I can hardly imagine that a magus like you would appear in this era."
"I am the King of Conquerors, Iskandar! Master of Lancer, would you be willing to join my banner and conquer the world with me?"
Due to Su Luo's [Grand Caster Succubus] Trait.
Regardless of gender, age, or even gods and Heroic Spirits, everyone who saw Su Luo would develop a strong sense of favorability.
This favorability would not decrease, preventing them from doing anything to harm Su Luo.
However, the favorability from female Heroic Spirits was different from that of male Heroic Spirits.
The former was love, unwavering devotion, a desire to become Su Luo's wife.
The latter was friendship, pure and unadulterated, a desire to become close friends with Su Luo.
Therefore, when Iskandar saw Saber's Master command Saber to attack Su Luo using a Command Spell, he had prepared to intervene and block the attack for Su Luo.
It was just that he was too far from Su Luo.
He couldn't teleport to Su Luo's side.
However, it just happened to allow him to witness Su Luo suppressing Saber.
This made the King of Conquerors, who already wanted to recruit him upon seeing Su Luo, even more resolute in his decision.
But before Su Luo could reply, another Servant impatiently appeared.
"You mongrel, where did you get your Chains of Heaven!?"
On a lamppost not far from Su Luo and the others.
A golden figure suddenly appeared and stood there.
The arriving Servant was Gilgamesh.
He had originally been watching the fight between Artoria and Lancelot from a distance.
However, Su Luo had appeared with the King of Lions.
But even after seeing Su Luo and the King of Lions eliminate Lancelot, he still had no intention of showing himself.
It wasn't until he saw Su Luo use the Chains of Heaven that he finally changed his mind.
What astonished him even more was that, despite his arrogant nature, he felt no anger upon seeing someone else use his beloved treasure. All he felt was curiosity.
He was curious about where Su Luo had obtained the Gate of Babylon, and even the Chains of Heaven.
Hearing Gilgamesh's inquiry, Su Luo smiled brightly and said something that made the corners of the mouths of the many Servants present and the Masters watching in secret twitch.
"I got lucky and pulled it from a lottery."
Chapter 24: Aika Sajo's Prying
"I got lucky and pulled it from a lottery."
Su Luo's words echoed endlessly in their minds, leaving Kiritsugu Emiya and the others speechless.
Do you even hear what you're saying?
You pulled a divine artifact from the Age of Mythology during a lottery?!
Why don't you say the Chains of Heaven were a gift for topping up your phone bill!
The Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, upon hearing Gilgamesh mention the Chains of Heaven, recalled the mythological history associated with them.
This was why they found Su Luo's words so absurd.
Even if he didn't want to say, there was no need to fabricate such a preposterous lie.
Hearing this, a crack instantly appeared on the lamppost beneath Gilgamesh's feet.
The light went out, a testament to Gilgamesh's inner turmoil.
Su Luo, however, paid no mind to this and directly summoned the system to bind Gilgamesh and the others.
As a series of successful binding prompts sounded in his mind, a hint of regret appeared on Su Luo's face.
Aside from Kiritsugu Emiya and Waver, the remaining few "old six" Masters did not show themselves.
There was still one Servant, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, left unbound.
What a shame.
"Never mind, since you don't want to say, I won't force you."
"However, the Chains of Heaven are not merely divine weapons forged by the gods in the Age of Myth, but also the dearest friend of this King, Gilgamesh!"
"If you cannot treat her well, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Gilgamesh ultimately didn't lash out, merely uttering a tsundere-like statement.
But this left his Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka, utterly shaken, as if his entire worldview had crumbled.
Since when did the King of Heroes become so easy to talk to?
He knew that in Gilgamesh's presence, he had to lower himself and act as his subordinate just to get the arrogant king to help him win the Holy Grail War.
Yet, Su Luo had maintained a nonchalant attitude from beginning to end.
He was the same even in front of Gilgamesh.
Most importantly, Gilgamesh didn't seem to care at all.
Given Gilgamesh's temper, he should have been furious upon seeing Su Luo use the Chains of Heaven, perhaps even attacking and killing Su Luo on the spot.
But unexpectedly, Gilgamesh merely made a few tsundere declarations and let it go?!
How could this not shock him?!
Returning to Su Luo's side.
After Gilgamesh finished speaking, he left first.
He knew that no matter what, a fight wouldn't break out now, and Su Luo needed to deal with Kiritsugu Emiya. He would leave the space to him.
Gilgamesh's appearance left everyone present feeling somewhat bewildered.
However, this did not affect Su Luo and the others.
Seeing Gilgamesh leave, the King of Conquerors turned his gaze back to Su Luo. "How about it, Master of Lancer, what do you say?"
"I refuse. I have no intention of joining anyone. If I were to join, I would join the king by my side."
Seeing Su Luo's unwavering attitude, Iskandar understood that he was likely disappointed this time.
While feeling a trace of regret, his desire for conquest was once again ignited.
Only those with such firm convictions did he wish to conquer.
He wanted to conquer them!
Only after conquering Su Luo would his mood be even happier than if he had conquered easily.
With this thought, Iskandar laughed heartily, then picked up Waver beside him and mounted his chariot.
"Since that's the case, Master of Lancer, my invitation remains unchanged. I welcome you anytime you change your mind."
He also noticed that they had disturbed Su Luo when they first appeared.
Now that he had received his answer, there was no need to continue obstructing Su Luo's time.
With Waver's screams echoing once more, Iskandar and his chariot disappeared from Su Luo's sight.
Seeing this, a mischievous smile spread across Su Luo's face as he looked at Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Now that no one is bothering us anymore. Kiritsugu Emiya, the 'Hero of Justice,' is that right?"
"Heh, what exactly do you want?" Kiritsugu Emiya heard the mocking tone in Su Luo's last sentence, but his expression remained calm.
From the moment he decided to participate in the Holy Grail War, he had prepared for the worst.
That he might die in the Holy Grail War.
If that were to happen, he would only regret not fulfilling his ideals.
He would not fear death.
Therefore, at this moment, he not only felt no fear but was also very curious about what Su Luo intended to do with him alive.
Was it to torment him?
Or perhaps, he had a deeper purpose.
Kiritsugu Emiya felt curious.
From the moment Su Luo had the King of Lions kill Lancelot, Kiritsugu Emiya could tell that he was not a soft-hearted person.
If that were the case, how could Su Luo possibly let go of someone who had tried to kill him?
But now, Su Luo had chosen to spare his life, undoubtedly intending to use him to achieve some goal.
Su Luo chuckled lightly, initially intending to ignore Kiritsugu Emiya.
But at that moment, a burning gaze was fixed on him from afar.
Su Luo was all too familiar with such a gaze.
Melly used to look at him with such eyes.
However, at this distance, with a gaze so intense it could trigger his senses.
It was clear that the person looking at him was definitely no ordinary individual.
With this thought, Su Luo used Clairvoyance and turned his head towards the direction of the gaze.
The perspective continued to zoom in, finally focusing on the top of a red tower.
A blonde girl in a light blue Lolita dress appeared in his field of vision.
