However, this idea was just a thought; things didn't go as smoothly as expected, or rather, something went wrong.
When Marne was trying to secure those assets and was looking for help, he suddenly remembered Justissa's request and thought of Einzbern.
I'm planning to borrow a few androids from Einzbern to help manage the assets.
Upon arriving in Eindzbernburg, Arhad, who came out to greet them, glanced at Marx and immediately knelt down.
They really knelt down.
Only after asking did I learn that he had seen the Third Law in Marx and Engels, which made him too excited.
This left Marx and Engels speechless.
What made him even more speechless was that Ahad suddenly said that he would hand over this artificial mansion, that is, the entire Einzbern, to Marne.
"No! Why are you giving this to me? What's the connection between the two?"
Maren almost thought he had traveled through time again; the topic was so abrupt, it almost broke his back.
"Our only wish is to reproduce, or to replicate, Lady Justisa's success. Now that we have your successful example, there is no longer any reason for us to continue living."
Ahhad, an old man who was originally similar to Yustissa in his expressionless demeanor, now revealed a relieved smile.
There was joy and relief, but more than anything, there was relief and confusion.
Just as they were abandoned by the creators who built this workshop, the Einzbern family, now that the Third Law has been successfully recreated, is also caught in the same confusion as those people back then.
When an obsession becomes too deep and becomes the ultimate goal in life, it is easier to get lost after it is achieved, and one will feel emptiness and confusion, thus losing the motivation to live.
"If you don't accept it, that's fine too, but after this time, Einzbern will also cease operations."
Ahad added this.
This is not moral blackmail, but a statement of facts.
The Einzbern family was ultimately just a workshop maintained by a group of androids, a machine carrying out the orders left behind by its former master.
Now that the command has been completed, these androids, unlike Irisviel who possess perfect self-awareness, will naturally enter standby mode without new instructions, until the passage of time corrodes them or new instructions are issued.
That's why Ahad asked Marn to take over Einzbern, not only because he didn't want Einzbern to be shut down.
This is because Marne is currently the only natural human with the Third Law, and only Marne meets the requirements to become the new master of Einzbern.
Having said all that, did Marx and Engels have any reason to refuse? Of course, they'd accept a free benefit!
Thus, Marne directly became the master of the Einzbern family, or rather, the new patriarch.
This was something Marne hadn't expected, and it directly changed his mind.
Now that he has the remaining two of the three starter families, Tohsaka and Einzbern, what the hell is he going to do with a new starter family?
Marx and Engels took decisive steps to unify the two sides, deepening their cooperation and transforming them into the Holy Grail Alliance.
This refers to the 'Greater Grail Management Organization,' which is specifically responsible for the safekeeping, security, and utilization of the Greater Grail.
Of course, we should also ask Rin Tohsaka, the young head of the Tohsaka family, for her opinion.
Yes, she had no objections at all, trusting Maren completely, and agreed on the spot.
And so, the Holy Grail Alliance, a new organization spearheaded by Marne and affiliated with the Einzbern family and the Tohsaka family, was hastily born.
It was called hasty because many things were not discussed and agreed upon.
For example, asset management and cooperation; how to utilize the Greater Grail; whether or not the Holy Grail War should still be held, and if so, how to organize it; and even what the main objectives of the event are, etc.
All of this required Marne, the helmsman, to manage. However, after handing over the management of the assets to the homunculi of Einzbern, Marne simply became a hands-off manager, ignoring everything and staying at home to study the blueprints for the Jewel Sword Zelrich.
The second method is parallel world magic.
Ma En has always been very interested in this. When Tokiomi Tohsaka left, he had already given him the blueprints, but he has been too busy to study them recently.
Now that I finally have some free time, I'll do some research first before thinking about anything else.
How exactly was the research conducted?
Basically, you first look at the blueprints, note down the parameters related to the function and some principles, and then... you build it directly.
Originally, Ma En thought it might still be a bit lacking, after all, the Jewel Sword is the pinnacle of the second magic, and the Fantasy Construct is probably not strong enough to construct magic in the Type-Moon world yet.
To Maren's surprise, it succeeded on the first try!
At the same time, Marne also received some principles of the Second Law, and the completion rate of his fantasy construction increased again, directly breaking through the already near-limit of forty percent and reaching a height of [.%].
Without hesitation, Marx and Engels began to try to construct other products of the second law, based on the newly received information.
Zelrich's Treasure Chest!
There was no pressure at all. After all, it was just a box with a large storage space and a strange time flow. Not to mention that Ma En already had a considerable amount of space magic and some information about the Second Law, it was easy to handle.
The completion rate of the fantasy construction has increased again, and the new part, the second law knowledge, has been acquired.
Marx and Engels continued construction without stopping.
The Wanhua Staff, made of rubies and sapphires.
Yes, those are the two transformation wands from Magical Girl Illya.
To be honest, Maren never understood what the Jewel King was trying to do by creating these two Craft Essences. Could it be that this old man was a lolicon?
To this, Marx and Engels could only say, "Well done!"
Unsurprisingly, Marne also constructed two magic wands.
Then Maren locked them in a treasure chest. The reason was simple: they were too noisy. The two artificial spirits kept chattering as soon as they were created, and he needed to continue his experiments.
As for what to do with them, Ma En plans to find an opportunity to give them to Ilya and the three girls, Rin and Sakura, to play with.
However, this wasn't enough, so Marne added an extra 0.9 to construct a Gold Diamond!
In this way, the three primary colors are complete.
He locked it in the treasure chest before Marx and Engels began their real experiment.
The previous ones were all based on the target, but now he's going to create something purely fantastical, something he made up himself.
What should we fabricate?
That would be a time machine, of course!
Upon arriving in the Type-Moon world, the first thing he saw was countless parallel worlds. Ma En had long wanted to visit all those worlds, which is evident from his initial idea of collecting knowledge in different worlds.
Moreover, many stories in the Type-Moon universe take place in the world of equality, such as Avengers and Fate/stay night, and World War V also has several storylines.
Marx and Engels wanted to see these places, simply because they found them interesting.
Chapter 151 The Lion King's Tight Defense, Marne's Proactive Attack
As someone who enjoys watching dramas, how could Maren possibly miss out on the exciting stories of other timelines?
Moreover, staying in one world for too long, after the interesting things happen, is just prolonged boredom.
Marx and Engels weren't simply bored; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sit down and study so quietly before.
But if possible, Marx and Engels still enjoy joining in the fun and watching the excitement.
Furthermore, he no longer needs to study so often; the completion of his fantasy construction is already quite high. Instead, he should start preparing for how to achieve the goal he set out to ensure Tiamat's safe return to this world.
He had been so focused on improving the completeness of the fantasy construction that he didn't have a concrete plan yet.
Therefore, he needs to broaden his experience and think about specific methods.
Another point is that, after gaining knowledge through the use of the Greater Grail, Mar and Eng have come to like this shortcut.
The Greater Grail on Fuyuki's side has run out of mana after Fuyuki made his wish and acquired the Third Magic. Unlike in the original story, it can no longer be used again after ten years.
Or rather, even if it were possible to use the 21 again in another ten years, Marx and Engels couldn't wait that long.
In other worlds, there must be many more Holy Grail Wars taking place, and he could easily intercept them there.
The last thing is...
Ma En looked at the Holy Grail lying quietly in his personal space. It was made by Goetia and used to construct singularities.
In the original seventh singularity, the Monster Front: Babylon, Tiamat descended.
Although Tiamat has now awakened, the story of the Seventh Singularity in the original work can no longer happen, or it will be different, but Marne thinks there is something that can be manipulated here.
If done correctly, it can save a lot of effort.
But in general, no matter what Mar and En plan to do next, they definitely need to develop the time machine tool, as it will be very helpful for them to achieve their goals and grow.
Then, Marx and Engels constructed the time machine.
It's a spaceship whose shape is inspired by Vimalakirti, and it can actually fly. However, it's a size larger than Vimalakirti, and it's no longer an open-top space but has an inner cabin. Normally, it can seat six people, but if you squeeze in, it can accommodate up to a dozen people.
However, an awkward thing happened: Marne didn't have coordinates from other worlds...
In other words, they have a 'car,' but want to travel, yet they don't know where their destination is...
"Oh no... this is so awkward."
Maren himself was speechless; he just wanted to go to other parallel worlds, but he didn't know how to get there...
No! To be precise, they know how to get there, but they can't pinpoint a specific parallel world; they can only wander around randomly by chance.
"That's it! I should go ask that old man."
Immediately, Marne thought of that world travel 'habitual offender,' the Jewel Elder! He must know the coordinates of many worlds.
"But I wonder if he's even in this world anymore."
This is what Maren is worried about. This Gem Elder is always elusive, either traveling around the world or going to other worlds, and very few people can contact him.
"Well, it's on my way anyway, so I'll just go and try my luck."
Thinking this, Ma En put away the time machine and went to find Aoi. He planned to tell her about his plan to take Rin and Sakura to the Clock Tower to register.
Yes, Ma En is still living at the Tohsaka residence and hasn't moved out.
He had originally planned to move, since it was fine when he was alone, but now with four Servants plus Orange, it wasn't appropriate to continue living at someone else's house.
It just so happens that the Matou family has several nice properties there, and they could move in right away. But when they saw that the mother and her two daughters were an orphan, they gave up the idea and decided to stay so they could take care of each other.
Incidentally, Irisviel also moved with Ilya from the suburban castle to the neighboring house because it was too deserted there. The only human they could talk to was Hisayu Maiya.
The other maids are all artificial beings. My self-awareness is not very complete, and I am somewhat dull most of the time.
