However, this time there was an unexpected turn of events.
The infinite resource cheat for Marx and Engels no longer works!
The problem wasn't with the construction of the fantasy, but with Marx and Engels.
Marx and Engels had never seen the actual items on the list, and without any reference points, they could not recreate them.
Although Marx and Engels could construct something similar by following the information, these things were all used for special purposes.
Therefore, a mere imaginary alternative may not necessarily work, as it may not match certain characteristics.
Left with no other option, Marx and Engels turned to Leonardo da Vinci for help, hoping she could find a solution.
"In that case, I can synthesize a few of them. As for the remaining two, I may have to find a substitute. But it's not a big problem. I can use them for now."
That being said, it is undoubtedly a bad news that is not entirely bad.
This also made several high-ranking members of Chaldea realize that Marne's magic was not omnipotent.
At least in the replication of specific items, if the specific conditions are strict and there is no sample for reference, it would be very difficult for Marx and Engels to construct an exact replica in one go.
After all, without knowing the target, relying solely on imagination will lead to some deviations in the results due to different understandings of the information.
However, it's not a big deal; if Marend tries a few more times, he can come up with almost the same substitute.
It can be used, but the effect is slightly off; it may be good or bad.
As long as it works, that's fine; Chaldea can't worry about that now.
After a minor hiccup, two more days passed, and the busy period at Chaldea was almost over.
All tasks are progressing steadily, and the initial tension has subsided somewhat.
That day, with Mash's help, Olga Marie approached Marne.
Well, with her forearms and legs, it's very inconvenient for her to move around; she can only rely on others for help.
Mashu, who had the most free time, became her mobile tool.
"Marne, how's my situation? Why haven't I heard anything from you?"
Olga Marie went straight to the point and asked.
Now that Chaldea has gradually stabilized, she finally has time to pay attention to her resurrection.
But after waiting for several days without receiving any news from Marx and Eng, she couldn't help but come over to inquire.
"This."
Ma En scratched his head slightly awkwardly, then said with a serious expression, "I have something to tell you. Try to stay calm and don't be too surprised."
“Yes, I’m listening.” Seeing how serious Marne was, Ergamari also became serious.
However, she was actually starting to feel uneasy.
They were afraid that Marx and Engels might say something bad.
For example, she couldn't be resurrected or something.
The thought that she might spend her whole life looking like this sent a chill down her spine.
Although this body is cute and she likes it very much, it is also really inconvenient, and she has suffered a lot these days.
Because it is so small, it is easily overlooked. It is inconvenient to work, and it is difficult to even hold a pen properly, not to mention other restrictions such as eating, sleeping, and normal activities.
Overall, this body is utterly useless except for being cute.
“Your body, or rather, your original body, has disappeared,” En said, emphasizing each word.
"What?! It's gone?! Didn't you keep it safe?"
Olga Marie was still taken aback when she heard this, even though she was somewhat prepared.
This is the body she's used since birth; how could she not be nervous?
Moreover, how could such a large body of hers simply disappear?
Chapter 242 Marne's Contingency Plan, Training of Mashu
"Wasn't it kept safe and sound with you? How could it have disappeared?"
Olga Marie pressed on anxiously.
After returning from the singularity, she also learned a little about Maren.
Her original body was taken into Ma En's personal space just before the spirit transfer was about to begin, and it was carefully preserved afterwards.
Olga Marie was completely at ease about this, after all, it was an alternate dimension, and only Marn's permission could be used to enter and exit, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.
But now, Maren is actually saying that her original body has disappeared?!
"They are indeed missing, but I don't know exactly why they disappeared."
Marx and Eng said this with a hint of helplessness.
He had been careful enough, but unexpectedly, a problem still arose.
Olga Marie frowned: "Don't you have a clue at all?"
Ma En shook his head: "I've checked, there really isn't a single clue. It just vanished into thin air. If you don't believe me, I can let you go in and take a look."
Actually, it's not that there were absolutely no clues, it's just that Marx and Eng couldn't say anything.
Regarding this matter, Marne suspected that when the other body was taken out for Leonardo da Vinci to examine, the alien god who would later possess Olga Marie did something to it.
For example, he might have secretly replaced something, but he did it so discreetly that he didn't even notice.
However, Maren couldn't voice this speculation, because it involved too many things and was too complicated to explain. If he did, things would only get more complicated and unclear.
"I didn't say I didn't believe you, I just don't understand why it disappeared."
Olga Marie frowned, looking adorably aggrieved, which made Marne want to pinch her cheeks, but he refrained from doing so, since they were discussing serious matters.
Moreover, given Olga Marie's current palm-sized size, it would be troublesome to actually pinch her; she might not be able to reach her because she's too small.
"Actually, there are many mysteries hidden inside your body."
Marne explained to Olga Marie that her body might have been modified, and then asked, "Do you recall anything about this?"
Olga Marie was also stunned for a moment, not expecting that her condition might be man-made. She then shook her head: "I don't know. If it's true, it must have happened when I was very young. I have no memory of it at all."
Marne nodded, not at all surprised.
Olga Marie then asked somewhat nervously, "Then, can't we continue with the matter of my resurrection?"
Mashu, who had been listening silently the whole time, finally spoke up.
The little girl asked with some worry, "Yes, Oudu-san, will the director recover?"
Maren smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there's another body, and Leonardo da Vinci and I have already started researching it."
"And if all else fails, I have another way to make her a replacement body."
Yes, this refers to asking Aozaki Touko for help.
After all, she is the expert in this field.
Once the doll is made, the "Phoenix Project" is activated, a soul is inserted, and the person comes to life.
This was also his previous plan, and he had made preparations for Olga Marie long ago.
However, it's not time to resort to this last resort yet, since Olga Marie's other new body has also been successfully brought back.
This body is the most suitable for Olga Marie, but there are some things that need to be understood first before Olga Marie's soul can be safely placed inside.
After all, to put it bluntly, the origin of this new body is somewhat unclear, and no one knows if there are any pitfalls on it, so it first underwent a series of more rigorous examinations.
Hearing Marne's assurance, Mashu and Olga Marie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Olga Marie stopped bothering Marne, and since she also had work to do, she instructed the mobile assistant Mash to take her back.
After that, Marx and Engels had a completely relaxed schedule.
The supply of materials to Chaldea has been basically secured for the time being, so he no longer needs to worry about it too much.
The only remaining task was to manage the singularity repair team.
This isn't difficult; it's just a matter of checking in on Gudako's studies and offering a few words of encouragement under her resentful gaze.
Then I'll chat with Mash and Hinako Akuta, and at most keep an eye on Mash's training and testing.
The test was only to collect data for a condition assessment, since Mashu's original physical condition was not optimistic. Even now that she has fused with her spirit origin and become a demi-Servant, she still needs regular check-ups.
The training is mainly to improve Mash's combat abilities.
Although she gained Heroic Spirit-level power through the fusion of her Spirit Origin, she did not inherit the corresponding experience and martial arts skills.
This is like a child getting a sharp sword; they can't use much of their strength. So training is essential. Mashu has to do two hours of simulated combat in the simulation training room every day.
In response, once Ma En had some free time, he directly modified the training plan, changing it so that he would personally train and instruct Mashu.
He has the blessing of "endless martial arts training," so any martial art he learns can be mastered in no time.
He should learn all eighteen martial arts first, and then guide Mashu. This will allow Mashu to progress much faster than if she tries to figure things out on her own and fight those rigid imaginary enemies.
Moreover, Maren himself can also become more familiar with combat and enhance his strength, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Do not!
You can even spend more time with Mashu to deepen your relationship—a win-win-win situation!
……
Because the simulation wasn't activated, the training room was simply filled with the constant clanging of metal as two figures clashed, sparks flying from their collisions, occasionally punctuated by explosions. (Ma Lihao)
"...That's right, that's it. Be careful to guard your lower body. Your large shield is blocking this part of the line of sight, making it easy to not see the enemy's lower body. Pay attention to how you hold the shield, and occasionally give way to the line of sight. You also need to learn to anticipate attacks from the lower side."
While launching a fierce attack on the tightly guarded Mashu, Maren commented on and gave guidance to her performance.
"Hi!"
Mashu held her shield in defense while doing as Marne instructed, and responded with a shout of encouragement.
Then, a sharp sword suddenly shot out from the side, grazing past her ear, making her freeze and stiffly turn her head to look at the golden ripples over there.
Ma En also stopped and said with a smile, "You are still too easily distracted by external factors. Even if this is training, it is also a battle. Don't let the enemy's words distract you."
