In Britain, the Noble Phantasm: Divine Key

In the world of Type-Moon, the types of magic are incredibly diverse, including gem magic, enhancement magic, projection magic, imaginary number magic, and so on. These types of magic have different powers and focuses, but if we were to truly rank them, rune magic would definitely occupy a place among the top tier.

This magic, created by Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, encompasses almost all the characteristics required for magic, and can be used for both combat and support purposes with remarkable effectiveness.

However, one of the fundamental characteristics of magic is equivalent exchange. The more powerful the magic, the more difficult it is to learn, which is especially evident in rune magic.

Even the simplest runes, if fully understood and mastered, would take an average magician at least thirty years, assuming sufficient resources.

Needless to say, the original runes have almost completely reached the ceiling of the field of magic, and are only one step away from magic that is outside the rules.

Throughout history, countless exceptionally talented magicians have never even scratched the surface of primordial runes. Even among omnipotent gods and wise elves, very few have been able to master primordial runes.

This shows just how demanding the original runes were in terms of talent.

The fact that Anaconda was able to master the original runes in sixteen years proves that his talent in magic is terrifyingly high. If he were willing to abandon everything else and focus solely on studying magic, he might even become another Grand Magician candidate in the future.

Because of his exceptional talent, Scáthach skipped the basics when teaching him and started with rune magic right away. Once he had a good grasp of rune magic, he mastered the original runes.

This is roughly equivalent to a math genius who has just started learning math skipping addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and starting to learn calculus.

This resulted in Yanan possessing powerful magic, but his basic knowledge of magic was essentially zero.

This is what is known as "because of great talent, the foundation is very poor".

“Although I understand what you mean.” Morgan rubbed his temples and sighed after listening to Yanan’s explanation, “I still really want you to disappear from my sight right now.”

What's this all about?! This guy is just showing off to her!

Yanan gave an awkward smile and quickly said, "So you understand now, I really am having some trouble with magic, so I came to ask you for help."

"Then why don't you go find Merlin?" Morgan said irritably.

"Because Merlin said his situation was similar to mine..."

Morgan: "......"

She took a deep breath and said calmly, "You'd better finish what you have to say before I can't help but activate the Magic Workshop and blow this place to rubble."

A chill ran down his spine, and Yanan shuddered. He immediately said, "I wanted to ask if you have a way to make ordinary people control magic."

"Let ordinary people control magic?" Morgan frowned slightly. "What are you planning to do?"

“I plan to equip the Knights with a weapon, but this weapon can only unleash its true power through magic, and I know absolutely nothing about that,” Yanan said, shrugging helplessly.

In the Honkai Impact 3rd lore, the Key of Domination uses Honkai energy to control elemental power, but in his hands, it becomes driven by magic.

—Including the other Divine Keys in his possession, all of them are driven by magic, which is probably a targeted adjustment made after the Divine Keys came to this world.

However, neither Honkai energy nor magic is something that ordinary people can access.

Yanan conducted a round of tests on his knights and found that only a dozen or so had magical talent.

Without magic, they would be unable to wield the Key of Domination, which is why Anan approached Morgan.

"A weapon that requires magic to wield, you mean a Noble Phantasm?" Morgan asked, puzzled.

Yanan thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, that's more like it."

"You mean you're going to equip every member of your knightly order with a Noble Phantasm?" Morgan's lips twitched slightly. "Where are you going to get so many Noble Phantasms?"

"It was a gift from Ghana."

"Ghana?" Morgan was slightly taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Does Ghana have so many Noble Phantasms?"

"Ahem, anyway, don't worry about where these treasures came from, just help me think of a solution first."

Morgan pondered for a moment, then slowly paced around the room. He went to his desk, opened the books and examined them carefully, but soon put them down, seemingly because he couldn't find what he was looking for. He then went to the bookshelf, took down the books one by one, glanced at their contents, shook his head in disappointment, and casually tossed them on the floor.

"It's not this...it's not this either..."

Soon, she threw all the books on the bookshelf onto the floor, her face still showing an extremely confused expression.

"Strange, where did I put that notebook?"

She stretched out her finger and traced the rune of [Rune Space] in the void. A black hole appeared out of thin air, and Morgan put her upper body inside and frantically rummaged around inside.

Clang, clang... Clang, clang... Clatter, clatter... Plop, plop...

Hearing the strange noises coming from inside, Yanan's lips twitched slightly.

He had been curious about what Morgan had put in the space, but now he had completely given up the idea of ​​spying.

Moreover, his intuition told him that Morgan probably didn't want him to see those things because he didn't want Morgan to throw them out like he had before.

"Ah, found it."

After a while, Morgan finally stood up, holding a slightly yellowed notebook in his hand.

She opened the notebook, looked at it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, this is it."

"You've found a solution?"

Yanan stepped forward and saw a fairly detailed diagram of the human body drawn in the notebook, with thin red lines depicting it like blood vessels.

"These are magic circuits, which are unique pseudo-nerves in a magician's body. Their main function is to generate magic and connect to the magic base imprinted in the world. This is the foundation of becoming a magician. Without magic circuits, one cannot become a magician."

"Magic circuits are organs that are present from birth and cannot be acquired or increased later in life. Although there are transplantation methods, the success rate is extremely low. However, I have found another way to increase magic circuits."

Morgan flipped the notebook to the back, where there were still detailed diagrams of human anatomy, but some blue lines had been added to the original red lines.

Chapter 55 The Collaboration Between Yanan and Morgan

"These are simulated circuits that I created after studying the magic circuits of more than a thousand magicians. They mainly involve adding a layer of external neural tissue to the surface of the body through specific magic techniques. Through these tissues, even ordinary people can generate magic power and perform magic like magicians, achieving the same effect as normal magic circuits," Morgan said.

Yanan was somewhat surprised: "Why have I never heard of such a thing before?"

Magic circuits are the foundation of becoming a magician and the key to distinguishing magicians from ordinary people. The existence of this formidable barrier has hindered countless people from exploring the path of magic.

But now Morgan has created a pseudo-circuit that can replace the magic circuit without anyone knowing. From a mystical perspective, this is almost a major event comparable to Newton's discovery of universal gravitation.

It's no exaggeration to say that once this invention gets out, the entire mysterious world will be shaken! Even the existing rules governing the world will undergo earth-shattering changes!

That's why Yanan found it strange that since Morgan had already invented the pseudo-circuit, he hadn't revealed a word about it yet.

"Because this pseudo-circuit is a defective product, with far too many flaws."

Morgan sighed and held up four fingers:

"First of all, this simulated circuit needs to be connected with the host's mind. The whole process is very painful. To describe it specifically, it is roughly equivalent to cracking open the head with a stone little by little and then inserting needles into the brain one by one. Moreover, the host must remain awake throughout the process. Otherwise, even if the simulated circuit is successfully imprinted, it will not be effective due to the failure of the connection."

"I once conducted this experiment on fifty death row inmates, and only two of them survived."

Yanan's throat moved almost imperceptibly; just listening to Morgan's description sent a chill down his spine.

"Secondly, this external mental organization will amplify the host's perception infinitely. Even a faint chirping of an insect will sound to him like the roar of a dragon. Under such circumstances, almost no host can live peacefully for more than half a year."

"Third, this pseudo-circuit cannot be connected to the magic base plate, meaning it can only generate and produce magic, but cannot perform magic."

"Fourth, this pseudo-circuit cannot be connected with the normal magic circuit, which means that the idea of ​​expanding the magic circuit through it is simply not feasible."

"The above four points are the main defects of the pseudo-circuit. In addition, this invention has many other minor problems. For example, the host may become irritable and short-tempered due to the impact on their mental state, and they may often be unable to control their desires."

“I tried various improvement methods, but none of them worked, so I eventually gave up on the technology.”

Yanan's lips twitched slightly as he retorted, "You're not researching magic, you're researching torture."

Morgan gave him a disapproving look: "Do you really think I'm an omnipotent god, able to get whatever I want just by doing it? It's already quite impressive that I can do this much on my own. Any new thing grows through constant setbacks and failures. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"You're right. I'm sorry, I misspoke." Yanan gave a wry smile, looked at the dense notes and annotations in his notebook, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there really no way to improve it further?"

“It’s impossible for me to do it alone, but if the two of us work together, there might be some hope.” Morgan snorted. “Didn’t you say it yourself? You’re a genius.”

"Cough cough!"

Yanan coughed twice loudly, pretending not to have heard Morgan's last sentence, and said in a serious tone:

"In that case, let's get started right away without delay."

......

......

For the purpose of the experiment, Yanan asked the Duke of Lucan for a suburban manor. For the next two weeks, he and Morgan stayed at the manor almost the entire time, working on improving the pseudo-circuit.

During this time, Duke Lukan's men traveled throughout most of Camelot, spreading news of the fall of the Kingdom of Ghana to various villages and cities.

In fact, more than two months ago, the knights who participated in the king-selection ceremony had already spread the news of what happened to Tylerbill. People were naturally furious about the actions of the Prince of Ghana, and were also very excited about the Black Knight, who had become the new king, declaring war on Ghana. However, they were still somewhat uncertain and worried that the war might end inconclusively.

But to their utter surprise, the new king acted so swiftly, fulfilling his promise just two months later and destroying Ghana in a single battle!

They were so excited that they trembled when they heard that the new king had defeated Ghana’s 20,000-strong army with only 300 knights!

"This is the king that Camelot truly needs!"

"The prophecy of the great sage Merlin has come true; the chosen king of Camelot has indeed appeared!"

"With such a king to rule this country, we will never have to worry about the Anglo-Saxons invading our homeland again!"

As the story spread rapidly, Anan's popularity among the people soared to its peak like wildfire. Even the nobles abandoned their initial contempt and developed a deep sense of awe for the new king.

In just half a month, the country was in an uproar, with almost everyone praising the great achievements of this chosen king!

Camelot.

Inside the exquisite and elegant study, an elderly man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles stood in front of the huge French windows, his gray-brown eyes gazing at the magnificent city in the distance.

"So, he really has taken Ghana?" The old man's tone was calm and composed, revealing no emotional fluctuation.

"According to the intelligence we have received, that is indeed the case."

The armored knight knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

“Three hundred knights charged through an army of eight thousand.” The old man sighed softly. “This new king is indeed up to no good.”

He turned around, returned to his desk, opened a letter secretly sent from Lucammons, and frowned more and more as he read its contents.

"Dead Apostles, Chimeras, a valley seemingly created by immense force... the inside story of this war is probably more complex than I imagined."

From the moment Ghana accepted the challenge, he had a vague feeling that the war might develop in a direction that no one could have predicted, but now it seems that he was probably being a bit conservative.

"The world has completely descended into chaos."

Chapter 56 Improvements to Quasi-Circuits

After hesitating for a long time, the knight couldn't help but ask, "Lord Feuerius, do we really... still want to continue targeting that new king?"
