What are the nouveau riche most afraid of?

No, no, because it is a rapid accumulation of wealth, this group does not attach great importance to wealth, otherwise there would not be so many nouveau riche who like to scatter coins.

What they are most afraid of is their own efforts, and their achievements will not be recognized. How low the status was before, how eager to be the focus of attention after getting rich, how eager to be recognized.

Therefore, Medea not only shattered Atram's trump card and self-confidence, but also his entire life, his entire career as a magician, and his efforts to defeat many competitors and sit on the throne of the head of the family in his youth - to put it simply, Medea denied Atram as a person, and denied the entire Gary Asta family.

This made Atram angry, the anger of renunciation, and the anger was followed by panic, panic based on the huge difference in strength between the two. What she used all means, prepared for so long, and spent countless amounts of money to do, she did it with a wave of her hand.

This absolute disparity has hurt his already fragile self-esteem and self-confidence like never before—more so than the students in El Meloy's classroom, more so than when he was ignored by Orange, and even more so than when he was given a cold reception in the clock tower!

But the powerful witch didn't know anything about it, and still said in a flat tone.

"I've done something excessive, but I ask you to stop using this workshop. Misuse of life is the best policy, and as a magic user, you can't ignore the unbalanced workshop. ”

Every time he said one more word, it hurt Atram more, and the anger in Atram's heart increased, and at the same time, panic increased. The gap between the two is so big that no matter what means are used, it cannot be filled.

It is true that the master-slave contract has been concluded between the two, but no matter how coercive the contract is, it needs to be built on the basis of strength, and the gap between the master and slave is too large, and it is difficult to ensure that the slave will not have some bad ideas.

In particular, his servant is still the witch Medea who is known for her betrayal and ruthlessness, betraying her family twice, killing her brother, killing her husband's father, killing her own children, and now one more betrayal, killing one more person seems to be nothing-you must know that her treasure as a heroic spirit is sublimated from this experience.

By this time, he had ceased to be complacent about his summoning of Medea, and had instead regretted it. It's not good to summon anyone, but I'm obsessed with the dragon and summon such a terrible witch who is difficult to control. In case she betrayed, I should- by the way, I still have the Command, and the power of the Absolute Command, as long as I use this, no matter how terrible the witch is, I will have to obey it.

Feared and angry, Atram made a decision. He smiled as he quietly poured magic into his hands.

"No, I really am, I don't know anything about servants. By my command, I hereby decree that you are not allowed to use your Noble Phantasm against me. ”

When she heard this, Medea's surprised expression made Atram feel extremely happy.

"If you are attacked by a betrayed witch, you won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

But in this way, he was still not relieved, and went up and punched Medea in the face, just as he used to treat those who were weak.

Medea was silent, knocked to the ground, and did not resist, like a lifeless puppet.

Yes, that's the way it is, I am the master, you are the servant, the master-slave relationship must be clear, and the hidden dangers must be eliminated.

Of course, he also knew that doing so would be tantamount to completely tearing his face with his servant. There were only two strokes left in the Absolute Command, and it was not enough to suppress the terrible witch. If she finds any loopholes, the consequences will be unimaginable, Medea is not the kind of good person who repays grievances with virtue.

Not long ago, he and the canaries around him had preached that Medea used the fire of a witch to burn down her rival and the city, and if it fell on his head - no, this woman can't stay, even if she loses her servant at the beginning, she can't leave such a hidden danger. Although this may not be a chance of victory, it is more important than one's own life.

Atram pondered, using the mind of a magician and the instinct of a businessman to find a way to solve the hidden danger and strive for the greatest benefit. Soon, it came to him the idea of using his biggest rival, another master sent by the Clock Tower.

He is warning him, and he must be warning himself, if he can get rid of the biggest opponent in this way, the other side will definitely be happy to help, and he will even be willing to pay a certain price, as long as he can show the greatest sincerity, such as in the form of compulsory evidence.

Although he didn't know the identity and purpose of the other participant, Atram had already figured out a way to find someone - through the church, where the priest was in charge of overseeing the Holy Grail War, and a magician from the clock tower like himself would definitely go there to register.

Speaking of which, I haven't registered since I completed the summoning, so let's do it this time.

Having made a decision, Atram acted quickly. Because of the "farce" with Medea, the long night has ended. Daytime is the default safe time, and Atram doesn't have to worry about his own safety, so he goes to the church alone to register and negotiate.

Although the Overseer seemed to be a novice and a little uneasy, the negotiations went smoothly and the other party promised to deliver the news as soon as possible. Atram's mood also improved a lot.

Finally, I can finally get rid of this terrible woman, and then it's up to us to see if I can get other servants.

However, when he returned satisfied, he found that his stronghold was gone. His loyal subordinates fell to the ground, and the proud workshop was filled with flames.

Blue-white flames, the woman who set the fire was standing at the very center of the workshop, watching him quietly.

"What's going on?" Atram asked angrily.

"I took it upon myself to demolish the workshop. Medea's voice was still as calm as that, "I'll take you to a more suitable place than this." ”

"What about the rest of the offerings? There are about 50 people left. ”

"Because I don't need them, I've let them go. ”

Atram let out a strange snort, "So, what better place to be than here?"

"The center of this ritual, the place where the Great Grail rests, is a natural fortress that is difficult for followers to approach. When Atram went out, Medea was not idle, "From now on, if you can obey me well, I will take you there, Master!"

Let me obey you, a servant?

"That's not going to work. ”

The anger that Atram had been suppressing was finally ignited, and in that moment, he had a decision. No longer strive for the greatest interests, no longer consider anything else, and eradicate this hidden danger first. He raised his right hand and infused it with magic as before.

"That's the end for me and you, Medea. Kill yourself with my spell, Caster!"

According to his expectations, this abominable witch would end herself with her own hands in anger and unwillingness, whether it was magic or a sharp blade. However, this did not happen, and Medea still stood in place, with a mocking smile.

"What's going on?" Atram froze, "Isn't it effective to order only once? Order again with my command, kill yourself, Caster!"

The final spell is gone, the ending has not changed, and Medea still has the intention of doing it, but laughs even louder. It was the first time she had laughed so heartily when she was summoned, and her laughter was full of sarcasm.

"What a foolish master, have you forgotten what my treasure is?"

"Ruler Breaker!"

Atram remembered the information that came when the contract was concluded, it was the embodiment of Medea's life, the treasure that could break all contracts, the thing he feared the most.

"However, that should have been forbidden by the Spell. ”

"Yes, I can't use it for you, so I used it on myself and cut off the contract with you. ”

Hearing this answer, Atram's face instantly turned pale.

It was only at this time that Atram discovered that there were obvious blood stains on Medea's chest, presumably the marks left by the Noble Phantasm's piercing into her body. And the reason why she didn't realize it should be that Medea secretly used a certain technique, and it was too easy to hide it from herself with her ability.

"Impossible, impossible, this is a suicidal act for you from here, and you can't even save your own body!"

Atram roared hysterically, but Medea remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about her second life.

"yes, but so what? It has nothing to do with you dying here. ”

After saying this, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. The burning workshop has been transformed into a dark labyrinth, surrounded by thick Greek-style murals - women holding bloody blades, creating an ominous atmosphere.

Atram ran in panic and yelled.

"How can it end like this, how can I die here, the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet, I haven't even fought, I'm-"

He was afraid, he was unwilling, he was angry! But no matter what he did, he could not change and flee until he was exhausted and exhausted.

At this time, Medea's voice finally rang out, and the final verdict was made.

"That's right, it's the perfect ending for someone like you who thinks about the outcome from the beginning. ”

"You betrayal...... Witch. ”

A desperate Atram let out a final curse, and then he found himself on his body with a flame, a raging flame, which was the real witch's fire. This fire had reduced many people to ashes, and now there was one more of them - Atram Gariasta.

"Witch...... It's a witch again...... You too, so does he, and everyone calls me a witch. ”

Medea whispered and walked. Just like that, I walked through the sea of fire, walked past corpses, walked out of the building, and walked into the dark sky.

She didn't know where to go, she didn't know how long she could last, she just relied on her feelings, and walked forward until her magic was almost exhausted, and she couldn't walk anymore and fell to the ground.

"Aha, it still ended up like this. Arbitrarily banished, taken advantage of, and despised as a traitor, I obviously just want to ......"

At this time, it was a moonlit night, and she stretched out her hand to the sky, trying to grab something.

"It's just going back to my hometown. ”

Consciousness gradually dimmed, this body that had lost its support seemed to have reached its limit, and it was time to disappear - it was really unwilling to leave after coming to this world overnight.

A moment before closing her eyelids, she heard a sigh of displeasure.

PS: I finally used two chapters to make up the plot of Atram and Medea, which is a plot that has no plot in the FSN game and is completed by UB animation, and the traitor is combined with "The Book of Events II" to shape it from the Atrum side, which is considered to be completed again.

PS2: If it's FSN, it's the people's teacher who picks up Mother C, and brings it back to make up for the devil and captures Mother C's heart by the way, here, of course, it won't be the people's teacher.
