I Activated Group Taunt. Li Shuwen: What the hell are you? (2nd update)

The Conqueror King looked at Saber and chuckled, "What sharp words! I suppose I should say you live up to the fame of Britain's renowned Knight King. While the fact that you're actually a young girl surprised me greatly, your kingly demeanor truly honors your historical reputation!"

Having witnessed Saber's and Lancer's battle, he had naturally seen the brilliance of Saber's Golden Sword. Since the maiden was also a king, her identity was all but revealed.

Saber's reaction would differ, and the Conqueror King's response would also vary. This Alexander the Great was no mere brute as he appeared; beneath his heroic exterior, his shrewdness was no less than anyone else's in the Holy Grail War.

The JOJO-style Narrator's voice also chimed in at this moment.

[Saber wasn't surprised that her true identity was seen through. After all, during her fight with Lancer, she had accidentally revealed her Holy Sword. Any Servant in the Holy Grail War would be able to discern the nature of the Holy Sword.]

[King Arthur and his Sword of Promised Victory are simply too famous. With this lineage passed down through the Pendragon Family for generations, and the Holy Britannian Empire being the world's second-largest superpower, Artoria, as King Arthur, is exceedingly well-known.]

[A world-class epic that has been passed down for over sixteen hundred years means that once King Arthur's key information is revealed, his identity will be guessed immediately.]

[For ancient people, the fact that King Arthur was a woman was actually quite easy to accept. After all, there were so many queens and empresses in the ancient Western world. The truth of King Arthur being female thus provided a basis for directly guessing and believing it.]

The narration directly answered the doubts in people's minds. Many indeed, just as the narrator explained, couldn't understand how the Servants could instantly guess King Arthur's true identity. Even if the Sword of Promised Victory was famous enough, the King Arthur of legend was a man.

Now, after the explanation, people finally understood. It was because the Servants were all ancient people, lacking the ingrained stereotypes from modern people's natural acceptance of "King Arthur is male" "brainwashing."

This allowed the Servants to approach the problem from a more objective perspective, without the initial misconception that "King Arthur must be male."

Then, the Conqueror King was seen saying with some helplessness, "Alas, it seems negotiations have completely failed. What a pity..."

Waver, whose forehead was no longer throbbing, struggled to get up from the carriage. Hearing the Conqueror King's words, he couldn't help but let out a mournful roar filled with grief and extreme embarrassment: "Rider~~~~~!"

The sight of the pitiful, weak, and submissive figure made countless people in the real world burst into laughter, with some even jeering and pointing at Waver.

Inside the Yao Guang - Chaldea temporary headquarters, Waver couldn't help but cover his face, feeling too ashamed to face anyone. A dull ache in his stomach made him want to bury himself alive.

It was simply too embarrassing.

Especially when many people present were looking at him with peculiar gazes, some of which were filled with pity, which only made Waver's stomach ache more.

Professor Kayneth, sitting next to Waver, was one of those pitying him. He even patted Waver's shoulder in comfort, which made Waver's stomach ache even more.

However, Kayneth soon went from pity to a similar stomach ache, because at that very moment, a new situation unfolded in the light screen projection.

"Is that so? So it was you..."

Lancer's Master spoke. His hoarse voice was still as recognizable as ever. The voice, emanating from all directions, had clearly been magically processed, making it impossible to pinpoint its origin.

While others showed no reaction to this voice, Waver's face contorted in terror. Cold sweat dripped down his face, and he instinctively looked left and right, as if trying to find the owner of the voice, or perhaps fearing he might see them.

Then, he heard the voice continue.

"I was wondering what madness possessed you to steal the Holy Relic I had prepared. So, it was to participate in the Holy Grail War..."

As this person spoke, Waver's fear intensified. Trembling, he clutched the Conqueror King's cloak even tighter.

Then, the camera shifted to the top of a warehouse, where a figure slowly emerged. This was Lancer's Master, continuing his unfinished words: "Since you've decided to participate in the Holy Grail War, you must have already prepared yourself for a life-or-death struggle between magi."

"Therefore, I, your mentor, shall give you a special lesson to understand what mutual slaughter among magi truly entails!"

"The fear and pain involved, I will impart to you without reservation. You should feel honored for this—Waver Velvet, my student!"

As he finished speaking, he had fully emerged. Illuminated by the port lights, his complete form was revealed.

He was a young man with blond hair, slicked back in a pompadour. He appeared to be in his twenties, quite handsome, but dressed in an old-fashioned manner. He wore a blue robe, exuding an air of being old-fashioned and traditionally conservative, typical of a staunch British noble.

Waver, terrified by these words, immediately ducked and covered his head, trembling uncontrollably and appearing even more weak and timid.

Seeing this, the viewers understood the relationship between Waver and Lancer's Master. However, they were also puzzled. If they were master and student, why did their conversation sound so cold-blooded and murderous?

Was combat between magi so dangerous that even a master-student relationship would lead to a fight to the death?

In the Yao Guang - Chaldea temporary headquarters, Kayneth frowned deeply. The Lancer's Master in the light screen projection was undoubtedly him. However, the him in the projection was very young; by calculation, he should have been only 28 at that time.

But the words he spoke were so full of killing intent, and directed at a student, from a teacher no less. This was too awful.

What kind of teacher treated their student like this?

Even if their relationship had soured for some reason, at worst they could cut ties. If something was stolen, couldn't they just call the police? Why adopt such a stance of cruelly killing Waver? Was he, as a magus, a cold-blooded murderer?

Or perhaps...

Were magi inherently like this?

A group of cold-blooded, ruthless individuals who, once engaged in combat, would cruelly eliminate their opponent by any means necessary?

There were too many questions, and no answers were forthcoming. They wished for another round of passionate narration to directly reveal the truth.

However, the subsequent development of the light screen projection disappointed many, as there was no narration; the plot continued to advance.

In the light screen projection, Waver suddenly seemed less afraid. This was because the Conqueror King had placed his massive right hand on Waver's back, his large, powerful hand soothing the little weakling.

Then, the Conqueror King, without mincing words, raised his hand and loudly reprimanded, "Hey! Magus! If I understand you correctly, you intended to replace this boy as my Master. If that's the case, then it's utterly laughable!"

"Because the man who can become my Master must be a warrior capable of charging into battle alongside me! How can a coward who doesn't even dare to show himself be worthy of being my Master? Hahahaha~~~"

The crowd: "..."

Amidst the Conqueror King's hearty laughter, Kayneth wore a displeased expression, while Waver looked deeply moved, his eyes shining as he gazed at the Conqueror King. In that moment, the former was disgusted by the Conqueror King, while the latter's heart was completely captivated.

At the same moment, in the real world, many people were either moved or stirred by the Conqueror King's passionate words in defense of his Master. Many felt that although the Conqueror King was willful, having such an emperor as a Servant would bring a sense of security to the dangerous Holy Grail War!

However, before people could fully savor the current situation, they saw the Conqueror King turn his head and loudly shout into the air, "And you guys hiding in the darkness, watching! I know you are! You're definitely not the only ones drawn by the battle between Saber and Lancer!"

"So, all Heroic Spirits summoned by the Grail! Gather here now! Cowards who are afraid to show their faces will be disdained by me, the Conqueror King, Iskandar!!!"

The latter part was almost roared out, the sound echoing in all directions, and it was entirely a taunt, like a public challenge.

A narrator's voice sounded.

[This Alexander the Great, with his boldness and magnanimity, provoked all the hidden Servants. Most Heroic Spirits were once heroes, and few could remain indifferent to such a provocation.]

[The Conqueror King's goal was to draw out those who were hiding, and he made no secret of his intentions. Many could see through the clumsy provocation, but precisely because it was so obvious, for some Heroic Spirits, it was an unbearable challenge.]

As the commentary finished, in the light screen's image, the camera zoomed in on a lamppost. Golden radiance flickered on the lamppost, quickly condensing into a human form. A Servant fully revealed himself within this golden radiance.

He wore magnificent full plate armor that seemed to be made of gold, with a handsome, fair face and crimson pupils filled with arrogance and indifference, as if he were a supreme monarch looking down upon the earth. His golden hair was styled upwards, and golden earrings adorned his ears, showcasing their brilliant golden light.

The man crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at the crowd below with a condescending gaze. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke his first line upon appearing.

"I didn't expect there to be two rats who dare to call themselves kings and ignore my existence in one night!"

Upon hearing this, Artoria narrowed her eyes, while the Conqueror King, with a simple-minded expression, said, "That's unreasonable. I, Iskandar, am known as the Conqueror King."

The golden man's arrogant and indifferent voice sounded again, "Nonsense. The only hero truly qualified to be called a king, in heaven and on earth, is I alone! The rest are merely insignificant mongrels."

Hearing such arrogant, self-important, and even insulting words, Artoria's gaze towards the golden man turned dangerous. The Conqueror King, seemingly unaffected, continued to say something.

However, at this moment, an old man's voice rang out, "How arrogant! Only you can be called king in heaven and on earth? Such rude behavior is truly displeasing. Even this old man finds it difficult to tolerate your arrogance that makes me angry! Golden King!"

As he spoke, an elder wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a stern face, sharp eyebrows, piercing eyes, and well-defined features, emerged from the darkness. He looked at the golden Servant with a cold and sharp gaze, filled with the boundless killing intent that warriors from the era of abundant martial virtue possessed.
