Upon hearing this, Niang Shanshan, somewhat embarrassed, retorted:
"Do you think A+ rank Noble Phantasms are as common as cabbages? How many more do you want?!"
"Others may say that, but I know you possess the prototypes of all the Noble Phantasms, including many valuable ones. A mere few A-rank Noble Phantasms are certainly within your reach. I don't need too many: Excalibur, Vimana, Rainbow Sword, God's Declaration, Gaeberg..."
"stop!"
Seeing that Ma En was about to list all the treasures he possessed, his mother Shan Shan quickly stopped him, otherwise he would reveal all her secrets.
Chapter 30 Gungnir & The First Night Arrives!
Ma En stopped calling roll and looked at her mother, Shan Shan, with a deep gaze, clearly indicating that she should hurry up and give her a name.
However, his mother, Shanshan, completely ignored his gaze and instead asked:
"Is the opponent that strong? Why are you so nervous?"
Nero and Tokiomi Tohsaka also looked at Marne with curiosity, wondering why he was so eager for support.
"Iskandar's strongest Noble Phantasm, [King's Army], is a Reality Marble that can summon the projections of the Heroic Spirits of his former subordinates who fought alongside him. There are approximately 30,000 of them. Although they do not have Noble Phantasms or skills, their stats are those of real Heroic Spirits, and there are several among them who are even stronger than Iskandar."
"Ah, this" X3
Tokiomi Tohsaka's elegance crumbled once again, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.
Wow! What kind of foul-level ability is that?!
He originally thought that Hassan the Hundred Faces had nearly a hundred clones, which was already unfair enough, but he didn't expect there to be one that was even more outrageous!
Nero was also speechless, and only then did Gilgamesh understand why Marne had gone to such lengths.
Without a decisive Noble Phantasm, even if the other six Servants attacked together, they probably wouldn't be a match for Iskandar.
It's no wonder that Marne wanted EA right away; the Anti-Boundary Noble Phantasm is indeed the nemesis of Reality Marble.
After understanding the situation, I saw my mother nod and say:
"Since that's the case, then I'll go with you. Otherwise, you Dao Hua might die there. It's not easy to find someone as interesting as you."
Actually, what she wanted to say was to avoid Ma En finding fault with her for not contributing.
But if she said that, it would make her seem cowardly, so she changed her mind before she could finish her sentence.
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Because the way she said it made it sound like she valued Marx and Engels so much.
As proud and aloof as she is, even if that's what she really thinks, she's still willing to express it.
But before she could explain anything further, Mar and Eng became unhappy:
"No, you don't need to come along. As long as the Noble Phantasm is ready, that's fine. If you go out with us and someone sees you, it'll be like we've been exposed."
joke!
He's after the treasures in his mother's treasury, not her people. What would he need them for?!
Huh? So many sacks of dirt!
If we directly acquire Niang Shanshan, wouldn't we get the baby too?
What a mistake!
This was a mistake; there was no need to dodge.
"Hmph!" Flashy snorted lightly, and without saying anything more, waved her hand to start 'King's Wealth'.
"Since you have so sincerely begged, then I, the King, will grant you special permission to borrow two of my collections. Thank you for your merciful grace, Dao Hua."
"But let me make this clear first: I'm lending you the Noble Phantasm, but if you can't use it yourself, don't come crying to me."
Noble Phantasms aren't something you can just use as soon as you get them. Most Noble Phantasms are inseparable from the Heroic Spirit who wields them, essentially bound to the same person. Whether or not they can be lent out depends on whether the Heroic Spirit has the anecdote of lending the weapon.
Moreover, even if it can be lent out, the receiving party may not necessarily be able to use it.
If it is a Heroic Spirit, then there must be a story about them borrowing someone else's Noble Phantasm.
If it's not a Heroic Spirit, then it's even more troublesome.
You need to speak with the legendary master of the Noble Phantasm and gain their approval.
Otherwise, even if you manage to borrow them, aside from those permanent Noble Phantasms, you won't be able to use the other Noble Phantasms that require True Name release; they can only be used as sturdy and durable weapons.
As both a collector and a king, Niang Shanshan possesses these two anecdotes, which is why she can lend them out.
However, just as she herself cannot use every Noble Phantasm in the Gate of Babylon, whether others can use the Noble Phantasms she lends out is not up to her.
Although she collected the prototypes of these treasures, she was not the legendary owner of these treasures.
In other words, she is not the original user, so even if she can lend it out, she cannot provide a usage license.
Hearing his mother's arrogant remarks, Ma En didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. As for whether I can use it or not, I will find a way to solve that myself. You don't need to worry about it."
It's just a license; he has plenty of ways to solve it.
Aside from Lancelot's 'Knights Never Die Bare Hands' and Nero's 'Emperor's Privilege'.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to study the Noble Phantasm a little and create a temporary usage license.
Then he stated his requirements: "Well, I definitely need either the Great God's Declaration or Gayeberg. You can decide which one to give me. As for the last one, it has to be Curry Stick! The Sword of Victory."
Whether it's strong or not is another matter, but if given a choice, probably no otaku would not want Curry Stick. This Noble Phantasm is so famous that it has become a kind of obsession.
Of course, curry sticks are indeed very powerful.
Upon hearing this, Niang Shanshan glanced at Ma En in surprise.
She thought Marne would choose two powerful anti-army Noble Phantasms, but it turned out to be one against an enemy and one against a city.
But then, Niang Shanshan laughed: "Heh~, it seems you've already figured out your strategy."
Although she didn't know why Marne was so obsessed with the 'Excalibur', she could roughly guess Marne's plan from the former's necessary choice.
Without further ado, she rummaged through the treasure vault and retrieved two magical artifacts.
A golden spear, a golden sword.
When Ma En saw the golden spear, he raised an eyebrow and recognized it as the 'Declaration of the Great God'.
Those unfamiliar with Type-Moon might be indifferent to the name 'Great God's Declaration' and unaware of its power.
But if we mention its more famous name, 'Gungnir', we can get a general idea of its formidable nature.
As for how he recognized it?
Marne had never seen this divine spear before, but he knew that 'GáeBolg' was the red magic spear in the hands of Cú Chulainn and Scáthach, and that it was modeled after 'Gungnir'.
Therefore, this spear, which looks very similar to the spear that pierces the deadly thorn (GáeBolg) but is a different color, is naturally the 'Great God's Declaration'.
Like 'Gayberg', it is a dual-purpose Noble Phantasm.
However, unlike the other one, the "God's Declaration" has a "guaranteed hit" ability that is actually a penetrating group attack, and another function is a single-target attack with a "deadly kill".
That's a lock-on that's even stronger than 'Gayeberg's' 'guaranteed hit'. It's a true causal weapon that will pierce through the enemy's 'heart' and a series of other weaknesses. It also comes with extremely strong anti-undying properties and can nullify the enemy's regeneration ability.
However, this ability is a special attack, and can only be used against specific enemies, somewhat similar to the situation with the 'Rungomniyad' stabbing gun, which has limited release conditions.
Ma En never expected that his mother, Shan Shan, would be so generous this time, bringing out the best of everything.
Reaching out, he was the first to receive the 'Declaration of the Great God,' weighing it in his hand before smiling with satisfaction.
"With it, taking Iskandar is practically a sure thing."
Looking at Ma En, who was laughing happily, Niang Shanshan became even more certain of his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh as well.
He laughed heartily.
Only Nero and Tokiomi Tohsaka, who were unaware of the situation, looked completely bewildered.
I have no idea what those two guys are laughing at, and why they're laughing so sinisterly.
However, deep down, he also silently mourned for Iskandar, who was about to suffer misfortune.
After Marne carefully stored away the two Noble Phantasms, the pre-battle meeting was adjourned.
Tokiomi Tohsaka went to arrange for Kirei Kotomine to instruct Hassan to prepare for the next action.
As for her mother, Shanshan, she had gone off for a stroll somewhere.
Marne and Nero did nothing, continuing to impart their knowledge of magic while waiting for night to fall.
Finally, the sun set and night fell over Fuyuki City.
The first night of the Holy Grail War has officially begun!
Chapter 31: Marne Takes the Initiative, Iskandar Suffers a Heavy Blow at the Start
Unaware that they were being targeted, the Rider group, after receiving a letter from the church declaring war in the evening, began to loiter around Fuyuki City that evening.
Of course, it was Iskandar who made this decision.
Weber, that coward, originally planned to observe how others fought and gather intelligence before making his move.
However, Iskandar rejected the idea outright, saying that such a grand event should be attended in person to show the greatest respect to the enemy's heroic spirits.
Then, ignoring Weber's resistance, he simply picked him up and carried him out.
However, he didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around aimlessly.
"That's why I'm saying you're just wasting your time. You might as well stay home and wait for the others to start fighting."
Webber followed Iskandar with a helpless expression, muttering to himself in disbelief.
He was truly helpless about the Servant he had summoned.
These past few days have caused him a lot of worry, as I'm afraid I might cause him some trouble in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Iskandar is quite well-behaved at home, otherwise he might not even be able to sleep peacefully.
At the same time, this also relieved him.
Unlike most magicians who disregard ordinary people, he belongs to the category of those with a conscience and would not intentionally harm ordinary people.
