Of course, this is just a metaphor. Marx and Eng can only reach the fourth level at present, and that is only after being amplified by divinity.
Because he is ultimately a 'normal person,' unlike Aozaki Touko who has two consciousnesses due to her dual personality, and unlike those perverts in the 'Atlas Institute' who frantically create several consciousnesses for their research to 'think in parallel.'
He only has one consciousness, and it's already quite good if he can do three things at once. Some people can't even do two things at once.
Closer to home.
By separating a portion of the magic circuits for independent use, as long as it's not during combat and there's no need to worry about potential external dangers, Maen can easily do it.
And he is doing just that now.
The magic supplied to Nero was a portion of his magic circuits that he had deliberately reserved, magic that transformed his own life force.
However, in this way, he still uses the magic power converted from his own life force, and he can't benefit from the massive magic power enhancement of the perpetual motion machine, the Furnace of Desire, so this output is no different from before.
It can't be said that it's less, because Marne's physique has been strengthened many times, and his vitality is much greater than that of an ordinary magician.
So his magic power is actually quite high. Otherwise, why would the Servants who have made a contract with him for magic power supply have their attributes amplified so much?
The main reason is that his specialization in spatial magic consumes too much mana, which is why he often seems to run out of mana.
However, even with so many wounded, there are limits. Faced with over two hundred wounded soldiers, all of whom were severely injured and unable to fight, Maren was finding it difficult to cope.
However, this was not a problem for Marx and Engels.
If his own magic isn't enough, he can construct it!
To be precise, it's not about directly constructing magic power, but rather constructing magical artifacts that contain magic power, which are disposable items, such as magic potions.
After all, he can even construct a Noble Phantasm; it would be a bit unreasonable if he couldn't construct a magical artifact.
"However," Maren thought, feeling a headache coming on again as he considered the composition of the potion.
"Yumina, I'm from Balye. Although I have the knowledge, I've hardly put it into practice."
Yumina is the seventh discipline in the twelve divisions of the Clock Tower, and the name of the plant family.
It is also known as the Witch Department because it specializes in the cultivation of medicinal herbs and the blending of medicines, which are the witches' greatest expertise.
Almost every magician from the witch lineage studies in this department, which is practically the lair of the witch alliance. Over time, it earned the nickname "Witch Department".
Instead, the branch of Marne is Baruye, the Department of Creation, which specializes in prop making and is a gathering place for craftsmen and inventors.
Incidentally, Aozaki Touko is also in this department, and is even the head of this department, a disciple of Monarch: Baljereta Atolohom.
However, none of this had much to do with Maren, because apart from the first day's visit, he hadn't attended any classes at all. The reason, of course, was that he had offended a certain young lady.
Therefore, he has always been self-taught, and since the Tohsaka family is from Kishua and is in the Mineral Department, and he also focuses on researching space magic.
Therefore, although he has a lot of knowledge, he has never actually put it into practice. It is all undigested and empty talk, and he is extremely unbalanced in his studies.
Among them, potions were his biggest weakness, because in his previous life, Marne was a complete chemistry idiot who only knew basic common sense. As for mixing medicines, it was like a book written in heaven to him, and he couldn't understand it at all.
So now Marx and Engels are in a dilemma.
I wanted to create a potion, but I had no reference point and was completely lost.
"Forget it, if I don't know, I don't know. It won't make a difference if I just imagine it."
After some thought, Marx and Engels realized they were useless and simply gave up.
Fantasy construction, fantasy construction, fantasy is the key!
If something doesn't exist, we can just imagine it!
Chapter 122 The Hidden Functions of Fantasy Construction, Kenneth Webber and his Apprentice
"We could take inspiration from science fiction movies, using cell repair as a premise to achieve rapid self-healing. Oh, and we also need to pay attention to replenishing calories so that the cells have enough energy to repair themselves. Hmm, let's use magic to achieve the repair effect..."
As he muttered to himself, Ma En contemplated the effects of the potion and elaborated on its principles to speed up the construction process.
The cheat code is indeed a cheat code; it really worked. Despite the haphazard design by Marx and Engels, who were terrible at chemistry, they still managed to build something.
Looking at the sci-fi syringe in his hand and the blue glowing medicine inside, Ma En nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, Ma En also received feedback from the fantasy construct, gained some knowledge about medicine, and understood it directly.
"The expected results have been achieved. I see. So that's how it works. Damn! How come I didn't understand this before?"
Upon receiving that knowledge, Marx and Engels felt as if they had opened up a new world. They discovered that much of the knowledge about medicine that they didn't understand before suddenly became clear to them.
"A bunch of sacks?! You're missing something!"
Suddenly, Mar and Eng froze, realizing that something was wrong.
hiss~!
Immediately, Maren gasped, as if he had discovered something he couldn't ignore.
"Wait, is that even possible? Using the knowledge gained after construction to aid learning?"
Previously, Mar and Eng hadn't paid much attention to the fact that this construct could grant them some related knowledge.
But now that he has built something that he doesn't understand the principles of, the knowledge he has gained seems to have directly enlightened him, allowing him to understand a lot of things that he couldn't understand before in an instant.
"Wow, my cheat code is amazing! This is practically cheat-like learning!"
This discovery left Marx and Engels feeling both delighted and frustrated.
The good news is that with this discovery, he can use his imagination to construct new knowledge whenever he encounters something he doesn't understand. After understanding some of the principles, he can then look at that knowledge without having to rely on rote memorization!
This directly liberated him from the tedious period of studying books and ushered in an era of fun reading. From now on, collecting new knowledge will no longer feel tedious, boring, or even painful!
Honestly, he's been studying every single day for the past year, to the point that he's almost sick of books. He's never studied as hard or read as many books in his entire previous life.
As someone who emerged from the high-pressure learning environment of China and developed an incurable form of reading PTSD—a condition where reading even a few dozen words more than a novel is unbearable—who knows how he survived this past year?
Perhaps, this is love.
At that moment, the thought of his wife waiting for him at home, fulfilling his promise to take her to the imaginary space, granting her wish, and living a happy life together kept him from slacking off.
As for the process, well, it's all tears when you talk about it...
That's precisely what's frustrating.
Why didn't he discover it sooner? Otherwise, he would have avoided a lot of suffering...
After that, Ma En got tired of agonizing over it. He took the potion and decided to name it 'Regeneration Potion Type 1' for now, and see how effective it was. Otherwise, he would make some improvements.
Upon arriving at the place where the wounded were being cared for, Ma En approached the soldier with the most serious injuries.
Because of Iskandar's continuous attacks, the magicians' magic power has been greatly depleted, and they have to conserve their magic power in order to deal with any possible sudden battles that may occur in the future.
So although the magician had a way to treat them, he was never able to arrange it.
On the contrary, many magicians have even begun to use the wounded to replenish their magic power, converting the soul particles, or spirit particles, emitted from the mental and physical pain of the wounded into magic power.
This is unavoidable, unlike the soldiers who have low combat capabilities and can only operate artillery.
The magicians also had to stand guard on the city walls to prevent the enemy from scaling them. They were fighting on the front lines, which meant their magic was being consumed very quickly. If they weren't replenished quickly, the battle would only collapse even faster without these magicians.
Therefore, the ordinary treatments these soldiers receive are only given to them when they are truly on the verge of death, or when the magician's magic power recovers quickly. Otherwise, they will not be given healing magic at all, and the magician himself also has a need for healing.
Ma En previously felt that Fuyuki's situation was miserable, precisely because of these reasons.
Seeing the soldier on the verge of death, Ma En didn't waste any words and injected him with a needle.
The medicine took effect quickly, and to the soldier's astonishment, his injuries healed rapidly, and even his missing wrist grew back.
"I'm all better?" Bing stood up blankly, looking at his hands in a daze, thinking he was dreaming.
"You must be dreaming! Come and help! Start by injecting the most seriously injured. Get moving, soldiers!"
Seeing that the effect was so good, Ma En quickly constructed hundreds of potions and dozens of syringes. Seeing that the soldier was still standing there in a daze, he yelled at him impatiently.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier reflexively stood at attention and saluted, then quickly took the syringe and medicine handed over by Maren and began to help give injections to the other wounded.
Then, as the wounded waited excitedly, the fully recovered soldiers immediately joined in to help. People kept getting back to their feet, and in no time, everyone was fully healed.
Maren then prepared some more medicine and syringes for tomorrow's tactical supplies, gave instructions to the newly recovered wounded soldiers, returned to his unit, and left.
Back in the conference room, he found that not only had everyone stayed, but they were all waiting for him, and there were even two extra people.
Kenneth sat happily next to Sora, the two of them very close, chatting and laughing. Behind them stood Webber, looking embarrassed, silently enduring this mouthful of dog food.
"Oh, it's Director Ken! What are you doing here?"
Ma En raised an eyebrow. He hadn't paid attention before, and he was quite surprised that Kenneth and Webber would actually show up here.
The fact that Webber was actually following Kenneth made him curious about how the teacher-student relationship had been repaired.
Honestly, if Weber were his student, given his actions, Maren felt he would definitely expel this treacherous bastard from the school at best, and at worst kill him.
In Marx's view, Weber's behavior was undoubtedly a betrayal; traitors were unwelcome and unforgivable to Marx.
Kenneth was suddenly called and turned around to see Marne. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Hmm? Lord Marne knows me? But that makes sense. Your intelligence on this Holy Grail War is so detailed."
He did not invoke his status as the monarch of the Clock Tower, as that would have revealed his arrogance.
After this Holy Grail War, he reflected on many things and gained some insights. His originally arrogant edges began to be smoothed out, and he became more and more composed, no longer so domineering.
Therefore, he instead praised Marx and Engels' intelligence work.
He learned from Sora that the Tohsaka family, led by Marne, had almost broken through the Holy Grail War.
This made him realize that he had been too arrogant and underestimated others at the time.
Chapter 123 The Consequences of Changing History, Pan-Human History, and the Burning of Human Reason
"That's all in the past. I made a careless mistake a few days ago."
Maren responded, then looked at Kenneth with some surprise, sensing the change in him, a difference from the original story.
In the original work, Kenneth was incredibly arrogant, regarding the Holy Grail War as a 'gathering of country magicians,' acting as if he looked down on everyone.
From the perspective of the magic world, he certainly has the right to be arrogant. As one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, one of the three major organizations in the magic world, he can be said to be among the elite of the elite who stand the highest in the industry.
But that arrogant attitude and disdainful look are really not very likable.
wrong.
I still really like him in fanfiction, but I like to use him as a villain.
Besides the old bug and Ryunosuke, who are recurring villains, Tokiomi who is often blamed, Kiritsugu who is often persecuted because of the protagonist's harem, and Kirei Kotomine who doesn't play a role in the early stages but is basically an enemy later on, Kenneth is also often brought out to be slapped in the face by the protagonist in fanfiction.
