Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

If Command Seals were used for other purposes, they would at most serve as an extra source of magic power for magicians. However, they are completely useless to Marne, who possesses both the Furnace of Desire and the Third Law.

However, when applied to Servants, it can produce miraculous effects.

Adding buffs isn't the most powerful thing; the most amazing thing is that it can amplify the power of Noble Phantasms and allow Servants to teleport.

If the latter is executed well, it can produce very exquisite teamwork.

The former is even more powerful. Multiple Command Seals combined can even elevate the power of a Noble Phantasm, dealing damage beyond its level. If enough are stacked, it's not impossible to upgrade a D-rank Noble Phantasm to an EX-rank.

Of course, other effects are also useful, such as healing Servants or granting them temporary skills.

In short, Command Seals are the miracle of Servants, an all-powerful resource. They can accomplish almost anything you can think of. If they can't, it's just that you haven't used enough of them, so just stack up a few more.

Marx and Engels recognized this point, which is why they built so many structures, just in case.

Having settled things with the Lion King and Mordred, and discussed the specific time with Aoi, Ma En then took the jealous Nero away, ready to properly appease this adorable little jealous girl.

Aoi also got up and left to prepare for her two daughters' long journey.

Only the Lion King and Mordred remained on the scene, creating an awkward atmosphere.

The Lion King longed for his homeland, while Mordred was filled with unease and worry. Had the other party noticed anything about her behavior just now, and if so, how should she deal with it?

After hesitating for a moment, Mordred spoke to the Lion King first.

"Um, Father, thank you, Father King."

Yes, it was to thank the other party for speaking up for her earlier, but it seems like they managed to sneak in something else.

The Lion King paused for a moment, then nodded: "No need to be so polite. After all, given your personality, staying at home for too long must be a bit uncomfortable."

Instead of mentioning that she spoke up for the other person based on her intuition, she chose to skip that part.

She has recently rediscovered human emotions, and her way of handling things has become more tactful.

Some things don't necessarily need to be explained clearly, and she won't be so straightforward as to make a point of explaining them.

I know that sometimes, even if it's a misunderstanding, as long as it's not a bad misunderstanding, it doesn't necessarily need to be clarified.

Although she didn't understand what Mordred had misunderstood, since the other party was willing to call her father, she was naturally happy to accept it.

Although they come from different worlds and have different experiences, they will stay in this era together in the future and spend a long time together. The Lion King doesn't mind deepening his relationship with Mordred.

Mordred was stunned upon hearing this.

Is Father concerned about me?!

wrong!

Has my father been watching over me all along?!

For a moment, Mordred thought a lot, and felt that the decision to stay was absolutely the right one!

Upon hearing the Lion King's words of concern, Mordred almost unleashed her full culinary passion and was about to pounce on him. (Round table...crossed out...the entire Camelot leadership is a Lion King fanatic!)

She was also deeply moved; she couldn't even remember ever hearing such words from her father before—words she had always been...

Realizing he was about to lose his composure, Mordred quickly turned around.

"That's true. I'm always just staying at home doing nothing. I'm either with the kids or with the kids. Aoi-san really knows how to boss people around. I'm so bored. This time I'm going out, I'm going to have some fun."

With a slightly trembling voice, she spoke in a complaining tone, and before the Lion King could react, she put her hands behind her head, swayed unsteadily, and prepared to leave in a nonchalant manner.

The Lion King suddenly said something rather untimely: "This isn't a trip for fun. Remember that, I'll be watching you."

Mordred didn't listen at all; his mind was filled with the other person's previous sentence. He waved his hand and sped away from the scene.

Seeing this, the Lion King didn't pay much attention, assuming Mordred was just trying to hide his true colors and had run away out of guilt. Alone, he turned and left, going back next door to tell Irisviel that he was going out.

After everyone had left, a section of the sofa suddenly sank, and Niang Shanshan's figure appeared.

"These two are really interesting."

Yes, you can always trust the fans of the "glamour gossip" group; they're almost always waiting to watch the show.

Niang Shanshan witnessed everything that just happened, because she had been there the whole time.

Chapter 154 Caring for Empty-Nest Old Man Shan, Undercurrents Around Fuyuki

As for the mother, Shan Shan, who remained hidden from view to stay there, that's another story altogether.

Well, to put it simply, she got into another fight with Nero, and it ended in a draw. Then she left in a huff, feeling annoyed, but when she saw Marne coming over, she quietly followed him back.

Whether I'm angry or not doesn't matter; watching the show is more important.

As expected, wherever Marx and Engels are, there's bound to be drama.

"but……"

Niang Shanshan suddenly frowned and muttered with some displeasure, "That fellow Ma En didn't even consider taking me with him when he went out. Humph, very well, I'll remember that."

She could tell that Ma En had no intention of taking her along. Otherwise, why was Aozaki Touko, who wasn't even present, mentioned while she wasn't? Naturally, she wasn't on his radar.

Even if Maren wanted to take her along, she might not necessarily go, but to exclude her without even asking is wrong of you, Maren.

I can do without it, but you can't refuse to give it to me!

However, Niang Shanshan didn't immediately express her dissatisfaction—she wasn't that irritable.

At the same time, she understood why Maren didn't consider taking her along. She knew her own personality and knew that she was unlikely to follow instructions, so she was really not suitable to be taken along on business trips.

But as I said before, you may understand, but you can't just leave without showing any appreciation!

Hmm, Mom felt a little neglected.

Ever since the singularity incident was resolved, she has remained in the same semi-idle state as before.

Nobody cared what she did. Apart from Nero, few people would take the initiative to talk to her. Even if she did, few people could get along with her. In this group, she was the most unsociable person.

Although she didn't say anything, seeing everyone else gathered together chatting and laughing made her feel somewhat uneasy.

"You're here! That's why I couldn't find you."

Just as her mother was idly daydreaming, Ma En suddenly returned.

The mother looked up at him, a glint of light flashing in her eyes before quickly disappearing.

"What do you want from me? If it's to borrow something, forget it. You old deadbeat, don't even think about getting anything from me again!"

In the end, Niang Shanshan glared at Ma En through gritted teeth, as if she wished she could devour him alive.

The reason is simple: Mar and Eng reneged on their debt to her again.

Besides the previous pronouncements and curry sticks, there's also the food arranged by her listeners in exchange for the singularity incident, and recently another 'debt' has been added.

After making a wish upon the Great Grail and gaining a large amount of knowledge, which greatly increased the completion rate of his fantasy construction, Marne approached her and, once again, used food as bait to trick her into giving him the key to the Gate of Babylon.

We had agreed that we would just take a look and pay our respects.

As a result, after Marne finished his research, he turned around and constructed the Gate of Babylon, a treasure trove of artifacts.

This made her very angry.

What's most infuriating isn't that, but that Marx and Engels reneged on their debt!

She had agreed to bring out hundreds more delicacies for her to enjoy afterward, but when she discovered that Ma En had broken his promise and tried to settle accounts with him, Ma En simply said that he hadn't!

There isn't one!

So all those previous conditions were just a ploy to fool her; this guy was just trying to get something for nothing!

Ma En smiled slightly and activated his special skill! 'As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed,' he said with a smile. 'Don't be so angry. I'm not trying to renege on my debt. It's just that I don't have the payment to make right now. This is called buying on credit.'

"You! You're wicked!"

Mother Shanshan was furious, because that was exactly what Maren had said.

What are you saying? Oh well, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future, so don't rush things. I'll make up for it slowly in the future. Besides, you can't just eat and live here for free, right? You have to pay some rent and food expenses, blah blah blah.

I almost laughed out of anger at that moment.

I'll forget about the food expenses, but what business is it of yours about the rent!

I live in the Tohsaka family home, not yours, Ma En's home. Even if I were to give it to you, it wouldn't be to you, Ma En!

Moreover, it's not like she didn't pay rent. After deciding to stay, Tokiomi Tohsaka talked to her, hoping she could take care of the Tohsaka family, mother and daughters, and she agreed. That's pretty much the rent, right?

However, after thinking about it, Niang Shanshan shook her head, feeling there was no need to explain: "Forget it, in short, don't even think about getting any more treasures from me."

“I didn’t say it was for this.”

Ma En shrugged helplessly, feeling that his mother, Shan Shan, had some misunderstanding about him. Was he the kind of person who always coveted other people's things?

···

Okay, that's true.

The main reason is that the Gate of Babylon is just too tempting; there are so many treasures, and these can all be used as excellent reference points for building!

His mother glanced at him and said casually, "Then why did you come to me? Don't tell me it's just to chat. You're not that free. Besides, that brat is waiting for you to appease her."

“Nero isn’t that childish; he’s quite easy to handle.”

After briefly protecting his mistress's reputation, Ma En got straight to the point: "I came to see you mainly to ask you to look after Kui and Irisviel during this time."

“There have been unidentified magicians active around Fuyuki recently. I’m going there to take Ria and Mozai with me. Nero and Touka will also be setting up a barrier at Mount Enzou. You’ll be the only fighting force left at home. I hope you’ll keep an eye on the safety of the area.”

.. .. 0

It's unclear whether it was because the Einzbern family had been sending people to Fuyuki so frequently after they became his lord that some people noticed something was amiss.

Whether it's because of Kenneth's disappearance or something Webber mentioned in the letter left at the Clock Tower, there's been an increasing number of magicians active around Fuyuki lately, and undercurrents are stirring.

However, most of them were from the Clock Tower, representing various factions, and they were probably there to investigate. Maren didn't pay them any attention.

What really bothered Maren was that there were some unidentified people among them, sneaking around Fuyuki, seemingly up to no good.

As the saying goes, it is easy to defend against a spear in the open but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Often, the more unknown something is, the greater the danger it is. Even Marx and Engels had to be wary of it.

After all, he's strong enough that he'll be fine, but others might not be.

Putting everything else aside, take Aoi Tohsaka for example. She's just an ordinary person. Although she comes from a family with a tradition of magic, she doesn't really understand magic and hasn't received any magic education. In terms of ability, she's just an ordinary person.

Irisviel is still a bit inexperienced, and Ilya has only recently started learning magic; they are both still too weak.
