Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

As for how strong Aozaki Touko is?

Based on the information Marx and Engels had access to.

It's roughly true that, aside from the Lion King and Gilgamesh, who are not considered special Servants, the mage Marn, along with the other Servants and their Masters in this Holy Grail War, only managed to kill her with a slim chance.

Of course, this is on the premise that Aozaki Touko does not use any extraordinary power.

This madwoman is holding a super monster in her hand, a monster with a magical power level comparable to Lungominiad's, the kind that could destroy a large city overnight if released.

If Aozaki Touko uses it, then it would take an additional Lion King, or perhaps Gilgamesh and Maru, to subdue her.

Besides, it wouldn't matter if we took her down; this woman has countless lives and hides countless spare dolls all over the world.

If we can't stop her from committing suicide, then we haven't really captured her at all; it's basically an unsolvable problem.

"What? Can't I come here?"

Upon hearing Tokiomi Tohsaka's words, Touko Aozaki gave him a cold look, causing him to break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"No, that's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised."

Tokiomi Tohsaka quickly lowered his stance to avoid displeasing the other party.

At the same time, I was secretly suffering.

In front of Aozaki Touko, the checks he set up at the entrance to Fuyuki to prevent outsiders from interfering with the Holy Grail War were practically useless.

Now that the people are right in front of him, he still hasn't received any news.

"You know we're in the Holy Grail War right now, so what are you doing here?"

Unlike Tokiomi Tohsaka, Maren had a look of disdain and spoke in a completely impolite tone.

Aozaki Touko was still angry, but instead of her usual cool and aloof demeanor, a charming and sophisticated smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Can't I come here specifically to see my friend?"

Yes, Aozaki Touko and Ma En know each other and had a complicated past.

That was about six months ago, shortly after Ma En finished reading the Tohsaka family's collection of books and began collecting new books on the black market.

After one transaction, Ma En once again managed to trap some designated underground magicians who had been sealed away.

Because the magic materials that Ma En sells are always very precious, diverse, and plentiful.

These guys, wanted for their research, desperately need this material to continue their studies.

However, because they were wanted by the authorities, they could only buy things on the black market. Since things on the black market are definitely expensive, and they had no income, they naturally set their sights on Ma En, who was constantly selling materials.

Even though Marx and Engels had already dealt with several groups of people, there were still some who felt their research results were better than others, and with the idea that "I can definitely do it," they continued to cause trouble for Marx and Engels.

Maren was already used to it and was about to make a move when Aozaki Touko suddenly appeared and took care of those people in just a few days.

Just when Ma En thought the other party had come to rescue him, Aozaki Touko spoke first: "Don't thank me yet, I'm here to rob you too. Hand over the rest of the materials, lest I lose control and kill you when I start fighting."

This completely baffled Marx and Engels.

Once he came to his senses, Ma En couldn't stand this kind of treatment; he had just learned magic.

So Maren didn't tolerate her and immediately started fighting with Aozaki Touko.

And then, naturally, Marne won; Aozaki Touko was no match for Marne at all.

At that time, Ma En, whose [Fantasy Construction] was not even 10% complete, was also a little unable to control her.

Killing her is possible, but catching her is impossible.

He was also hunted down for several days by Aozaki Touko after she killed him and destroyed one of her dolls.

Finally, they stopped fighting because they were both exhausted.

After a calm and rational conversation, Marx and Engels finally learned the truth.

It turned out that among the materials he sold were important materials for making dolls that Aozaki Touko desperately needed. Moreover, these materials were extremely scarce, the kind that were priced but not available. Ma En, who had been selling them in limited quantities several times in a row, had his eye on them.

Aozaki Touko felt that Ma En must have some way of getting it, or that he had a large stockpile.

Incidentally, the materials that Ma En sold before were actually bought by Aozaki Touko, which is how she learned of Ma En's existence.

Moreover, although Aozaki Touko claimed it was a robbery, she didn't actually intend to rob him for free; she planned to pay him later.

The dolls she makes are high-end best-selling products, and they are very expensive, so she is never short of money.

She simply needed a large quantity of that rare material, which she couldn't buy even with money, so she had no choice but to try her luck at Maren's place.

After learning the whole story, Ma En didn't argue with Aozaki Touko. Instead, he discussed cooperation with her.

He was drawn to Aozaki Touko's best-selling dolls, not by their monetary value, but by the profits they generated.

Maren remembered that in one of the endings of the Heaven's Feel route of the Fifth Holy Grail War, after the Holy Grail War ended, Sakura sold all the books in the Matou family's collection to buy a high-quality doll that had leaked from Aozaki Touko.

In other words, if Aozaki Touko were willing, she could directly have people pay with books, and in large quantities at that.

This kind of knowledge benefit is exactly what Marx and Engels needed most.

In the end, the two hit it off immediately. Maren became Aozaki Touko's personal material supplier, while Aozaki Touko was responsible for collecting the knowledge that Maren needed.

Chapter 66 The Prophecy Brought by the Orange, Mar and Engels: What?

For the next six months, Ma En and Aozaki Touko traded two or three times almost every month.

This is considered a very frequent interaction within Aozaki Touko's social circle.

It was during this time that Ma En was able to relax and chat with Aozaki Touko.

Over time, the two went from being business partners to friends.

"Do you think I'd believe that? We know each other perfectly well."

Upon hearing Aozaki Touko's words, Ma En rolled his eyes in exasperation.

He knew perfectly well that Aozaki Touko didn't care about social obligations. She might be passing by, but to say she was going there specifically to visit a friend? Ma En could only chuckle.

Seeing this, Aozaki Touko resumed her aloof expression and said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, I just need to talk to you about something."

"I'm busy. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Marx and Eng didn't give her a friendly look, because...

If Aozaki Touko takes the initiative to come to you, it can't be anything good.

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Touko frowned slightly, about to say something.

"Ahem~" Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly spoke up, interrupting her.

Before Aozaki Touko's gaze could even fall upon him, Tohsaka Tokiomi betrayed Marne without hesitation.

"21 Well, leave this to me. Since Miss Aozaki needs you, Ma En, you can go ahead."

Upon seeing this, Ma En glared at Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Is the "busy" Lao Tzu was referring to repairing this broken gate?

I said it was the Holy Grail War!

Well, the Holy Grail War isn't really that busy anymore; the current situation is basically such that it could end at any moment.

"Please come in."

Tokiomi Tohsaka completely ignored Maren's gaze, immediately becoming a lackey, bowing to Touko Aozaki, and respectfully inviting her into the house, before finally giving Maren a nod.

Ma En understood that look; it was a message urging him to quickly win over Aozaki Touko.

Tokiomi was truly terrified and didn't want to face this terrifying woman for even a second longer.

Although out of respect for Marne, Aozaki Touko won't do anything to Tohsaka Tokiomi.

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka's reaction was subconscious, after all, his opponent was a Grand Master with a notorious reputation.

During the designated period of her sealing, Aozaki Touko completely let loose and was capable of doing anything.

It is said that during a certain ordering process, she wiped out the magician's entire family simply because the other party said something wrong.

It is also rumored that, in order to expand her marketing, she would deliberately cripple some magicians she disliked, to the point that they would need to be implanted with her doll's prosthetic limbs to recover.

Ma En knew what Tokiomi Tohsaka was thinking, and he also knew that the previous rumor was true. The reason was that the unlucky guy called Aozaki Touko by that title as soon as they met, and not only did he call her that, but he also made his whole family call her that.

Marx and Engels could only exclaim, "Damn! That's a real tiger! I'm impressed!"

As for the latter one, it's fake; it came from the mouths of those who wanted to order Aozaki Touko's dolls.

The purpose, of course, is to reduce competition. Aozaki Touko's dolls are really in high demand and are generally very difficult to order.

It's said that reservations are already being resold privately. A recent custom reservation can sometimes be bought up by some eager members of prestigious families at a high price.

However, Marne did not explain these things to Tokiomi Tohsaka, as a person's prejudice is not so easily overcome.

Tokiomi Tohsaka is part of the faction that opposes Touko Aozaki. He has already put on tinted glasses, and they are not so easy to take off. No matter how much you explain, it will be useless.

"Let's go."

Ma En led Aozaki Touko directly into the house, sat down in the living room, and, too lazy to make tea, casually brewed two cups of tea.

"Yes, no matter how many times I look at it, I still think your sixth method is really convenient."

Aozaki Touko didn't mind picking it up and drinking it, and even sighed with satisfaction after finishing it.

It wasn't Maren who told her that he possessed magic. Maren wouldn't tell everyone he met about it, and even the Tohsaka family still misunderstands it as his extraordinary creation magic.

She realized this later, during their time together, that Maren's seemingly magical method of creating illusions was actually magic.

She is also the only one who figured it out herself so far.

It must be said that she truly lived up to her status as a Grand Master. Besides coming from a family of magicians and being familiar with magic, she also had a very sharp eye.

Of course, it was also because she dared to imagine things that others would not think of magic even if they thought Maren's skills were more amazing than magic.

"I still feel like I'm losing out by trading with you," Saki Touko continued to lament.

It's a huge loss to exchange the rewards of one's hard work for something that Marx and Engels could conjure up at will; the effort put in by both sides is completely unequal.

"Don't give me that nonsense." En, on the other hand, ignored her sentiments as usual.

She made similar remarks more than once after learning the truth about where those materials came from.

At first, Marx and Eng would retort, saying, "I'm using exclusive technology to produce value commensurate with your labor. Is it my fault that it's too easy for you?"

Now that I've heard it so much, I'm pretty much immune to it.
