The entire two-dimensional world knows that the Moon Chefs (Type-Moon fans) have extremely strong fighting power, and the topic that can best demonstrate their fighting power is "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong", which is a debate about the strength of the fighting power between the characters.
After a long debate, the lunar chefs reached a rough consensus and divided the combat power of the Type-Moon world into a three-layer pyramid.
Standing on the top of the third floor is the white giant "Sephalu" who almost destroyed the earth's civilization 14,000 years ago. Top servants such as Archer Gilgamesh and Lancer Scathach are at the ceiling of the first floor. The real body of Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh and the real body of Scathach can go up to the second floor.
In the world where Shinji lives, there are no more than a dozen servants who can fight against or defeat servants with average Noble Phantasms, including the second magician Zelrich, the fourth magician Aozaki Aoko, and some people who can rely on their own uniqueness to fight defensive battles with average servants. Orange is not on these two lists.
Shinji, who received Scathach's gift, took the Golden Apple, carried thirteen Command Seals, and possessed double-digit Noble Phantasm-level weapons, already had the strength to fight against average Servant, at least until the Command Seals were exhausted. This was Scathach's objective evaluation, and it was also the reason why Shinji dared to start a war on Orange's territory.
Along with the infusion of magic power, the black orb at the bottom of the magic weapon exploded with balls of lightning. The powerful force contained in it constantly shook the high-level barrier covering the workshop.
Feeling the extraordinary nature of the treasure in Shinji's hand, Orange sighed and raised his hands.
"Surrender, surrender, I was just joking."
"I was just joking." Shinji stopped outputting magic power with a fake smile, and Indra's Thunder disappeared.
"When you came in, I felt that you were not an ordinary kid, but I didn't expect you to be so extraordinary." Orange scratched his hair, "Ah, if I had met you a few years earlier, maybe - No, it's nothing, don't worry about it."
Although Shinji was curious about the "maybe" that Orange said, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so he continued the original topic: "I wonder if Miss Orange is satisfied with my chips?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Orange nodded repeatedly, "Give me all?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Shinji was amused by Orange's answer. He knew better than anyone the value of a complete rune system that traced its origins.
"It doesn't work." Orange lowered his head in disappointment.
"It's not impossible—"
"—You just want to see my bargaining chips, right?"
Orange had already guessed what Shinji was planning.
"Let me make it clear first, it is impossible for me to sell myself for the 'Original Rune'."
"Yes, I know." Shinji was not surprised by this answer: "The attribute of the Aozaki family is 'wind'; it is your nature to pursue freedom, and I have never thought of restraining you. Wind is the flow of the atmosphere, and it is no longer wind if it is fixed in one place."
"Oh~ You know a lot about it." Since the two met, Orange was most satisfied with Shinji's words.
"After all, you and Ms. Aoko are the two most famous people in the Japanese magic world. I dare not treat you carelessly." Shinji complimented Orange.
"The most famous, haha, the most famous, I'm afraid it's not a good reputation." Orange snorted, "Forget it, magicians don't have a good reputation anyway, so just tell me how much leverage you have and what price you want me to pay - this is what you planned from the beginning. You asked me to sign the 'self-compulsory document'; besides keeping it confidential, you were also afraid that I would threaten you with making a doll."
"That's right." Shinji no longer concealed the truth when things got to this point. "There are only ten 'Grand Masters'. Magician, there are too many people and forces interested in you. I'm not the first one to notice you, and I won't be the last."
"But you're the one who came closest."
"Thank you for the compliment." Shinji seemed modest but was actually proud. "I will continue to work hard."
"Then you work hard." Orange said unhappily.
"The chips in my hand are a complete rune system including the eighteen 'original runes'."
"Does it include the hidden meaning of the last rune, which is said to be known only to the god Odin?"
"certainly."
When Odin passed down the rune system to the Norse gods, he actually kept a trick up his sleeve - the eighteenth rune. This rune has a special meaning hidden in it, and only Odin knows this special meaning.
Ragnarok destroyed the entire Norse pantheon and dealt an unprecedented blow to the rune system. Everyone thought the secret of the 18th rune was lost. But no one knew that after Ragnarok, Scathach sneaked into the devastated Asgard and entered the world tree where Odin gained wisdom. From the traces left behind, she learned the secret of the last rune, which was passed down to the present world with the call of the Holy Grail War.
"cost?"
This secret, like Orange's puppet technology, is unique in the world and a complete seller's market, so Orange did not bargain and directly let Shinji name the price.
"It's all written here." Shinji pulled out another parchment scroll from his sleeve.
"Another document..." Orange was both angry and amused, "I've never seen you negotiate like this before."
"There's no other way. I'm young, not smart enough, and not capable enough. I can only use stupid methods." Shinji smiled innocently.
"Heh~heh~" Orange laughed with contempt. It was not like Orange had never seen an old monster disguised as a child before, so she naturally included Shinji in that group.
"Why doesn't anyone believe me when I tell the truth?" Shinji rolled his eyes.
"I believe in my brother."
"I believe you, too."
Sakura and Fujino's comfort became Shinji's last consolation, and also made Orange despise Shinji even more - is it fun to cheat an underage girl
"Ahem, look at the contract, and sign it if there's no problem."
The contract that Shinji gave to Orange is a bit similar to the union contribution value regulations in online games. Once a certain contribution value is reached, corresponding items can be exchanged.
He clearly marked the prices of the eighteen original runes, twenty-four derived runes and various rune magic in his hand, and Orange could exchange them in a variety of ways.
The technology obtained in exchange is for Orange's research use only and may not be leaked in any form without Shinji's permission.
For example, this time the business of making two dolls can be exchanged for a complete set of twenty-four runes.
At the end of the parchment scroll, there is a special clause that contribution points can be overdrawn without limit. However, if it is not paid off within a certain period of time, Shinji will have a certain degree of coercion when he asks Orange to entrust him. The higher the overdraft limit, the greater the coercion.
Orange looked at the contribution point quota of the Twenty-Four Rune Atlas, then looked at the total amount of the full set of rune technology, and suddenly felt like "I'm going to work for you all my life."
But Orange also knew that Shinji's terms were not harsh and he did come with sincerity, and she could not resist the temptation of the original Rune, so she finally gritted her teeth and signed her name.
PS: Scathach’s prototype is the mountain goddess in Norse mythology. This is probably why she is the original rune.
