"You two! I don't care anymore! Say what you want, but I haven't agreed to it, and that's that." Xiu looked at the two of them and finally gave up on healing them.
Actually, she hesitated a bit, wondering whether she should agree to this "family reunion," but when she thought that she had only just met Ma En, she felt that it was too fast and not good.
So she neither refused nor agreed, but simply got to know him first before making a decision.
"Alright, let's get back to business."
After the laughter subsided, Da Vinci brought up the topic again, but this time Mashu seemed much more at ease.
"The reason I called you here in such a hurry is mainly to ask if you have any way to confirm the true name of the heroic spirit that this child fused with."
Nine.
Chapter 190 Marx and Engels: If it collapses, keep deceiving.
In fact, this was the kind of help that Leonardo da Vinci wanted from Marx and Engels.
As one of the few people in Chaldea who treated Mash as a living person, Da Vinci was also very worried about Mash's health.
As a test-tube baby born through genetic modification, Mashu only has a few years left to live.
The only way Da Vinci could think of to save Mash quickly was to completely merge her with the spirit origin left behind by the heroic spirit within her, making her a demi-Servant.
Once Mash becomes a Demi-Servant, she will receive the boost from her Spirit Origin, which will stabilize her body's genes and extend her life.
However, this method has reached a dead end. Without knowing the true name of the Heroic Spirit and without being able to detect the data of the Spirit Origin, even she, an omnipotent person, is helpless in this situation.
The appearance of Maren gave her new hope.
Perhaps the scholar who studies the spirit of "420" has some unique insights?
Based on this idea, Da Vinci quickly called over Marne and Mashu.
And Marne did not disappoint her. He had a keen eye and was able to detect the heroic spirit aura on Mash without any instruments.
Could it really be true that it might work?
Seeing this, Mashu also looked at Marne with some nervousness.
She was also concerned about her inability to fully integrate with the Servant, and even felt somewhat inferior because of it, feeling that she was an immature and flawed product.
Therefore, she desperately wanted to fully merge, whether it was to prolong her life or not.
Because besides this, she had no other goals to strive for.
Ma En scratched his head: "Well, do you have any information? Anything is fine, mainly information about appearance and such."
Da Vinci frowned upon hearing this: "Is this information absolutely necessary?"
"Of course, otherwise how would I make a judgment? I can't just imagine it out of thin air, can I?"
"Although I have studied Heroic Spirits, my research is mainly to understand the Heroic Spirits themselves, rather than to understand their existence."
"So I'm not good at information and data acquisition. My knowledge mainly comes from Heroic Spirits. I can recognize the identity of a well-known Heroic Spirit at a glance, but if I don't even know their appearance, I'm helpless."
After Marx and Engels gave this explanation, Leonardo da Vinci was immediately disappointed.
"Is that so? This is troublesome."
I thought there was hope, but it turned out to be a disappointment.
“Ano (that one).”
At this moment, Little Eggplant suddenly raised her hand and said, "If it's just about appearance, I seem to vaguely remember something."
When that spirit descended and possessed her, she vaguely saw it once. Although it was blurry, she still remembered some of its features.
"Really?! That's wonderful!"
Da Vinci's spirits lifted instantly. He vaguely remembered that if there was information, then there was still hope!
Unexpectedly, here we were again surrounded by mountains and rivers, seemingly without a way out, but then a new village appeared amidst the willows and flowers!
She immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Tell him right away."
Mar and Eng waved their hands and said, "Let's skip the oral explanation. Everyone's understanding of language is different. It's better to just draw it down."
"Yes, yes, draw it."
Da Vinci slapped his forehead in realization, immediately stood up, rummaged through the workbench, found paper and pen, and handed them to Mashu.
Mashu didn't waste any words and started drawing.
Marx, Engels, and Leonardo da Vinci watched from the sidelines.
Seeing this, Mashu thought for a moment, and then began to explain to the two of them while drawing.
"That heroic spirit was wearing armor like this, with a black base and some purple patterns, and a purple skirt. There was a rapier at his waist. He was about 1.7 meters tall. That's all I can remember."
"Hmm~ As expected, my knowledge is still lacking. I have absolutely no clue about this kind of armor and heroic spirits who use rapiers as weapons."
Da Vinci scratched his head in frustration and tried to analyze it, but he couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't help but look at Mar and Eng, anticipating the opinion of this 'professional'.
Mashu, too, looked at Marne expectantly.
Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels revealed a confident smile.
"It's basically confirmed that this Heroic Spirit is Galahad."
"Really?! Based on these? How did you figure that out?"
Da Vinci and Matthew were both startled, and at the same time, somewhat incredulous.
Surprisingly, with just this much information, they were actually able to identify the Heroic Spirit.
“There are so many bridges and sacks.” Finch suddenly paused, pointing to the rapier in the painting.
"I remember Galahad's weapon wasn't a rapier, it was a large shield."
Legend has it that Galahad was an extremely kind saint, which is why he eventually found the Holy Grail. Because of this character, the weapon he used was a shield, because he did not want to hurt others.
"That rapier should be the red-hilted sword, the one that only Galahad could draw, the one shaped like a cross. But he didn't use it much, so it didn't leave any legends and isn't very famous."
"As for how I recognized him, it was mainly through the process of elimination. I don't know many heroic spirits who wear black armor. After eliminating them one by one, only he remained."
Well, even Marx and Engels themselves almost believed these explanations.
It was just an excuse he used to fool others. He already knew the truth, and the reason he made things so complicated was to act in accordance with his established persona.
“I see.” Finch nodded, then smiled and thanked Marn, “You’ve been a great help. Thank you, Advisor Marn.”
"In this way, I can also conduct research to help Mash fully integrate."
Ma En waved his hand happily and said, "No need to thank me, it was just a small favor. It's mainly thanks to my daughter. If she hadn't remembered this information, all my knowledge would have been useless."
"Besides, with my daughter's life at stake, it's my duty to help."
This time, Mashu, unusually, did not refute, but instead bowed slightly to Maren earnestly: "I also want to thank you, Maren-san."
Ma En reached out and gently tapped her head: "We don't need to be so distant with each other."
Mashu stared blankly at her head, her face flushed, and she took a step back, somewhat at a loss.
She was inwardly groaning; Marx was too enthusiastic, and if she wasn't careful, he would make physical contact with her, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Now that we know the true name of this Heroic Spirit, it's time for the omnipotent one to begin his performance!"
“Let’s start with data collection, Mash, come over here with me.”
Chapter 191 Rafe's Alertness, the Plan Begins! A Dim Chaldea
Knowing the true name of the Heroic Spirit makes everything much easier.
By reverse-engineering the spirit origin of a heroic spirit according to legend, one can obtain various data about that spirit origin. After that, naturally, one should try to figure out how to deal with it!
Although there is no accurate plan yet, at least we have a direction, and success is only a matter of time.
After Da Vinci performed some examinations on Mashu and obtained the latest data, she kicked the two unhelpful guys out of the workshop.
"..."
The two exchanged a glance, and Mashu lowered her head awkwardly. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable being alone with Maren, she quickly said, "I have other things to do, so please excuse me."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Ma En didn't chase after her; he just smiled and watched her leave.
After Mashu left, Maren also went back to his room.
On his first day in office at Chaldea, it ended just like that. Having done something satisfying, Marne happily set up some restrictions and then entered his personal space.
In his personal space, Nero, the Lion King, and Gilgamesh were already waiting for him.
"You're so slow, musician. Why are you only arriving at 21 now?"
Upon seeing Marne, Nero couldn't help but pout and complain.
They had been here for several days. Although the facilities were very good and they weren't bored, she was still somewhat dissatisfied that she could only see Ma En briefly each day.
Especially today, Marx and Engels entered even later.
"Sorry, I've already arrived in Chaldea, and I didn't expect to have work on my very first day."
Ma En quickly coaxed his concubine and then created some delicious food.
"You must be hungry, come and eat."
Nero's attention was instantly diverted by the delicious food, and he temporarily stopped lingering around Marne.
The Lion King didn't say much, but the moment he saw the food, the tuft of hair on his head started to sway.
Only Mother Shanshan remained unmoved, asking with slight displeasure, "Everything else is fine, but when can we get out? How long do you want me to stay here in such a condescending manner?"
Of the three people here, she harbors the most resentment.
She's not one to sit still; as someone who enjoys pleasure and amusement, she hates boredom the most.
Although the facilities inside this human space are just as good, it lacks the vibrancy of the outside world. There are only the three of them in the entire space, so they can't really muster any enthusiasm for anything.
"It will be soon, in a few months at most."
In response, Marx and Engels could only offer temporary reassurance.
Of course, this isn't just to fool me, it really is coming soon.
