"I see. That is indeed a very clever approach. After all, in Greek mythology, I am the only one of the 27 witches who were exiled for life because of betrayal."
Medea said with a hint of self-deprecation.
"What's the point of talking about betrayal? You're nothing more than a pawn being played with by the gods."
Chen Yuan looked at Medea and spoke.
After all, although Medea spent her life betraying others, Chen Xuan prefers to call her a deceived witch rather than a witch of betrayal.
The reason is quite simple: in the Type-Moon history, Medea's love for Jason was not of her own volition, but rather because she was struck by Cupid's arrow, which made her fall irrevocably in love with Jason. As a result, she betrayed her father, King Colchis, and helped Jason obtain the Golden Fleece.
As for killing her own child and Jason's new lover, that goes without saying; it's a classic case of a victim seeking revenge on a scumbag.
In conclusion, Medea is less a treacherous witch and more a witch deceived by the gods and a scoundrel. She fell hopelessly in love with Jason because of Cupid's arrow, betrayed her country, and murdered her brother.
However, Medea, who abandoned everything to leave with Jason, was ultimately abandoned by Jason and then wandered alone for the rest of her life after successfully avenging herself, never setting foot on her homeland again until her death.
"What an understanding master."
Medea thanked Chen Xuan for his comfort, and at the same time, she felt a sense of goodwill towards her master whom she was meeting for the first time. After all, it was rare for someone not to look at her with prejudice after all these years.
"I won't bother with unnecessary pleasantries. Let's finish the contract first."
As Chen Xuan spoke, a memory chip appeared in his hand.
"Master, what is this?"
Medea looked at the memory device Chen Xuan handed her with a puzzled expression and asked a question.
"This is a memory I created. You can think of it as something like a magical artifact. Using this thing will activate the rules engraved within it."
"The rule engraved in this memory is called 'Path,' and its effect is that as long as the holder uses it, they can create a path to the place they want to go, no matter where they are."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she placed the memory in Medea's hand.
"Able to create paths to wherever you want to go."
Medea murmured, stroking the memory in her hand.
“That’s right, this is what I promised in the contract, and it’s also what you craved when you answered the call.”
Chen Xuan looked at Medea and spoke.
"I see. I'll accept this reward, whether it's genuine or not. So, Master, what is your purpose in summoning me? Is it also to participate in the Holy Grail War?"
Medea voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.
“I have no interest in the Holy Grail. My purpose in summoning you is simple: to help me teach and care for these two children. I don’t need to care for them for a lifetime; I only need to care for them until they reach adulthood.”
As Chen Xuan spoke, she pointed to the Tohsaka sisters behind her.
“Teaching? Master, if you are looking for a teacher for your disciple, then I would recommend Chiron, who is also from Greek mythology. He is a great sage who taught many heroes. Compared to a woman like me, he should be more in line with your requirements.”
When Medea heard Chen Xuan ask her to teach and take care of the Tohsaka sisters, she was taken aback for a moment, and then recommended Chiron to Chen Xuan, which was tantamount to politely declining Chen Xuan's request.
After all, she has a clear understanding of her own abilities. Indeed, in terms of magic alone, she could be considered top-notch even in the Age of Gods. However, being able to use magic and being able to teach it are not the same thing.
She had never taught before, and it was rare to meet a Master like Chen Xuan who didn't view her with prejudice. Not wanting to disappoint her Master, she politely declined and recommended Chiron to Chen Xuan instead.
After all, Chiron was a man who could even teach Jason, that good-for-nothing scumbag, to be barely worthy of being called a hero. If it was about finding a teacher, then among the people Medea knew, Chiron was undoubtedly the best choice.
“No need. Your talent and knowledge as a magician are beyond doubt. Perhaps your teaching ability is not as good as Chiron’s, but I only need you to teach them the basics. As for magic, I will customize some for them when I have time.”
Chen Xuan 523 shook her head.
As a veteran Moonling, he naturally knew that Chiron, known as Teacher Ma, was a better teacher than Medea. However, his summoning of Medea was not just to find a teacher for the Tohsaka sisters, but also for Medea, who possessed a unique magic-resistant artifact in the entire Type-Moon universe, the Ring of All Symbols.
The Ring of All-Encompassing Power is a conceptualized Noble Phantasm derived from Medea's life experiences. It possesses the power to break all kinds of magic and to reconcile relationships formed through contracts between objects enhanced by magic.
And the ability to return life created with magic to its original state, aside from the Noble Phantasm derived from the Servant's own experience, it can be said to be the ultimate anti-magic Noble Phantasm in the Type-Moon world.
This anti-magic property is exactly what Chen Xuan needs. Long after killing Zenong, Chen Xuan was thinking about how to eliminate the gods and monsters from those crossover anime worlds in one go.
After all, he really had no interest in engaging in a protracted battle with those gods and monsters. After thinking for a long time and combining all the information and resources available at the moment, Chen Xuan came to the conclusion that it was the Myriad Symbols Breaking Ring on Medea's hand.
The ultimate anti-magic weapon, if its original characteristics were upgraded to the same level as authority, wouldn't that be the best weapon against gods and monsters?
Chapter 58 Double Summoning of the Saber King
"In short, try getting to know them for a while first. If it doesn't work out, then it's up to you whether you stay or leave."
Chen Xuan looked at Medea and spoke again.
"Since you've put it that way, Master, I'll give it a try."
Medea saw that Chen Xuan had already said so, so she couldn't refuse. Besides, although she couldn't compare to Chiron in teaching, she was still very confident in magic alone.
After all, she was a magician from the Age of Gods, which meant that the magic she used was very close to the realm of magic. With the added enhancement of the Caster class, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is a magician who is almost as close as a mage in the present day.
With her magical skills, comparable to those of a magician, she should be able to manage teaching the two little girls.
"Then, Master, shall we leave here next? I happen to know spatial teleportation magic, which will allow me to leave quickly. If all goes well, the magic workshop can be completed tonight."
Medea looked at Chen Xuan and asked, feeling rather unaccustomed to being outside so unguarded as a magician, so she wanted to leave as soon as possible and build the magic workshop.
"Just call me Chen Xuan. As for leaving, wait a moment while I summon another Servant."
Chen Xuan shook her head, and at the same time, the summoning magic circle reappeared beneath her feet.
"Summon again?"
“Master, if I may be so bold, even if we disregard the Holy Grail system’s rule that a person can only summon one Servant, and allow you to successfully summon a second Servant and command two Servants at the same time, your mana might not be able to sustain it.”
Upon hearing that Chen Xuan was about to summon another Servant, Medea quickly tried to dissuade him.
After all, not to mention that the Holy Grail War is a one-on-one event where a contestant can only be paired with one Servant, the amount of magical energy required to maintain two Servants at the same time is enormous. Chen Xuan looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and Medea really doesn't believe that he has enough magical energy to maintain two Servants.
"Don't worry, this amount of magic is far too easy for me."
As Chen Xuan spoke, her inner magic surged, and at the same time, emblems representing lions and dragons appeared beneath her feet.
I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.
I am the one who spreads all the evils in the world.
You are bound by the three great spiritual forces for seven days.
O guardian of Libra, who comes from the Wheel of Restraint!
"What terrifying magic."
Medea stared in shock at the magical energy emanating from Chen Xuan, which was no weaker than her own.
After all, she was a magician from the Age of Gods, living in an era of abundant ether. The upper limit and quality of her magical power were naturally far superior to those of modern magicians. Many modern magicians with poor magical talent might spend their entire lives trying to catch up with her normal magical power.
But now the quality of Chen Xuan's magic power is stronger than hers, especially considering that Chen Xuan consumed a lot of magic power after summoning her. Under these circumstances, the quality of her magic power is still stronger than hers. She simply cannot believe how terrifying Chen Xuan's magic power must be at its peak.
"So, are you my master?"
As the light emitted by the magic circle dissipated, a girl wearing armor, with long golden hair, a single ahoge on her head, and delicate features that made her look about fifteen or sixteen years old, appeared before the four. Despite her petite figure, she exuded a capable and seasoned aura.
"King Arthur, Artoria, it seems my luck is not bad."
Chen Xuan looked at Artoria, nicknamed "Ahoge-King," who appeared in front of her and said jokingly.
"Master, do you know me?"
When Artoria heard Chen Xuan's words, she asked with a puzzled look. After all, the historical descriptions of her appearance were basically fabricated, so there shouldn't be a situation where anyone could recognize her.
“Master, the lion and red dragon emblems you added during the summoning were specifically for the purpose of accurately summoning King Arthur, right?”
Medea looked at the two extra emblems in the magic circle on the ground and asked in a daze.
"That's right. In British legends, both the red dragon and the lion represent the title of King Arthur."
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
“However, since you are not interested in the Holy Grail, Master, what is your intention in summoning the two of us here?”
Medea looked at the ahoge (shaggy king) with a puzzled expression, then at Chen Xuan, and asked.
"I just wanted to see your Noble Phantasms, so could I see yours, Caster, and of course your sword, Saber?"
Chen Xuan looked at the two of them and asked.
"You can look, but my Noble Phantasm is an anti-magic weapon that can break all magic. Master, are you sure you want to look?"
As Medea spoke, she took out her treasure, the Ring of All Symbols.
Chen Xuan left a good impression on her, and as a Servant, it was necessary to tell the Master about the effects of the Noble Phantasm, since Chen Xuan was not the kind of magician who would hold back the Servant.
"~Since it's a request from the master."
As he spoke, Saber drew his sword Excalibur, removed the Wind King Barrier covering it, and handed it to Chen Xuan.
Although Chen Xuan's immediate request to see her sword puzzled her, she was willing to grant his request since he was going to be her master who fought alongside her.
"Is this the Excalibur, the sword that stands at the pinnacle of holy swords, passed down from the Age of Gods? How beautiful it is."
Rin Tohsaka looked at the sword in Chen Xuan's hand, which radiated a golden light and resembled the exquisitely crafted Excalibur, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"After all, this sword is not only the strongest holy sword of the Age of Gods, but also a star holy sword forged from a planet, possessing immense power to fight against alien enemies."
Chen Xuan stroked the gleaming blade of the Excalibur, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Master, you actually know the origin of the Holy Sword."
