I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

What is an upstart?

Nouveau riche refers to a person who has acquired considerable wealth in a short period of time. Most of the time, it is used to describe a person whose cultural level and moral quality have not kept up. It is different from aristocrats and wealthy families, and is a derogatory term.

A similar word is "nouveau riche", but unlike the obvious derogation of the nouveau riche, this word is much more neutral, and even has some complimentary connotations.

This is how Atram, and the Gary Ashtar he is part of, define themselves. The upstarts in the capital world, the upstarts in the magic world, those who conform to the trend of the times will surely replace those ancient and outdated families, those who lead the times.

In his view, those so-called aristocratic families who are obsessed with their own history and glory, and use this to set thresholds and belittle others are ridiculous, and they will definitely be eliminated by the tide of the times.

Take a look at the mainstream of the world. How old is the United States, the most powerful country in the world today and the only superpower? Haven't you become the overlord of the world? In contrast, what about Britain, which has a long history and once dominated the world and is known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets"? How much influence is left today?

I will become the United States in the world of magic and capital. Those so-called aristocratic families will only decline like the United Kingdom. Atram has never doubted himself, even when he suffered setbacks in the Izaluma incident and was brutally beaten by a group of young people. Even though I dealt with it severely, there was no change.

That group of young people from the El Meloy classroom was also a member of the "new rich". The "Crownless Lord", like himself, did not have a prominent background, let alone a long history. He started out as an undistinguished student. Come to today. In comparison, he has much more qualifications and resources. Why can he do it but he can't?

So he came, to Fuyuki City, to this place where a lord and a "Crownless Lord" once struggled. He would start from here, achieve enough achievements, and return to the Clock Tower in glory. , Get back the face you once lost!

To this end, he spent an astronomical amount of money and made full preparations. Not only did he buy the super-class catalyst "Golden Fleece" regardless of the cost to summon his followers, he also bought an entire commercial building in the Xindu District of Fuyuki City in advance to decorate the workshop.

After the preliminary completion of the workshop, he sent his men and equipment into the workshop in batches to stand by. Shenji was not wrong when he said before that he was restrained. He was indeed restrained. He just chose to take a special plane for convenience and did not show off too much after getting off the plane. If he were to go to other places, he would not only have to take a special plane, but also prepare a huge motorcade in the local area comparable to that of a head of state.

Everything is to win the Holy Grail War, everything is to show strength to the Clock Tower!

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that he would fail. It was just a small ceremony from the Far East. How many strong men could it attract?

Velvet lost because he was still weak back then.

The disappearance of Lord El-Meloy is obviously due to other calculations. It can be seen from the fact that the El-Meloy faction is booming and is almost on par with the three nobles.

He, Atram Gariasta, was different. He didn't have so many calculations and was powerful enough. Except for another person sent by the Clock Tower, he didn't regard anyone as an opponent.

Now that everything is ready, all that remains is to summon the servants and get the ticket to the war.

"Declaration——"

On the night he arrived in Fuyuki City, Atram was not sleepy at all. He stood in front of the summoning circle drawn with various precious materials, pressed the sacred mark with his hand, and loudly chanted the incantation he received from the association.

In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and unimaginable vast magic broke through the barriers between worlds, bringing the embodiment of myths and legends from the distant beyond to the present world.

"Servant Caster Medea, please take good care of me, young Master."

When he saw the woman standing in the center of the summoning circle, her head and face hidden under the cloak, and heard her pronounce her real name in a nice voice, Atram clenched his fists excitedly when he felt the connection between the two.

It succeeded, the summoning was successful, I got the strongest trump card, and victory will be in my possession.

However, this good mood did not last long before it was ruined by the blows that followed.

First of all, the set goal was not achieved. Although Medea is a hero related to dragons, due to the limitations of the times and the burning of the golden fleece as a catalyst, Medea was unable to display her ability to wield dragons.

The second is Medea's attitude. Like Kenneth ten years ago, Atram only regards servants as something similar to familiars. So what if he is a hero? It's just that he is strong and has his own will, but in the end, doesn't he have to rely on his own magic power as the Master?

But when he actually summoned the servant and saw the strength of the servant, he found that he was wrong, very wrong!

Before Medea took action, Atram condescendingly stated that as a magician, he was ready to suppress other Masters, and enthusiastically showed Medea the secret skills of the Galli Asta family. The reason why he bought a house and built a workshop in Fuyuki City in advance.

It was primitive magic that used a price to generate magic power, and this price was the "small source" possessed by life itself, that is, a living sacrifice. By sacrificing living sacrifices, the "small sources" extracted from them are refined into magic crystals for their own use. As long as the sacrifice is enough, endless magic power can be obtained.

For this reason, Atram purchased a large number of living sacrifices through the human trafficking group in his hometown. In the war-torn Middle East, no one will care about some people who disappear, and this is his trump card for victory.

What he didn't expect was that his greatest reliance and source of confidence would be reduced to worthless by his followers.

"Using your life for a crystal of this level is something a third-rate magician would do."

Medea, who said this, waved her hand on the modern altar that Atlam personally designed and was proud of, and created dozens of times more magic crystals than six living sacrifices, and the purity was higher. High, the effect is better.

"What have you done?" Atram couldn't believe his eyes and screamed, "Why can you create 'mana' out of thin air from an empty furnace?"

"Nothing? For modern magicians like you, it is true that you can't see anything. The technology for generating magic power still has a level, no, a dimensional gap."

Medea's tone was very plain, like boiled water, but it was so harsh in Atram's ears. It was an evaluation that completely negated his life and his efforts. He struggled and questioned.

"So, what about the chanting? In order to shorten the chanting time in this workshop, I have tried my best to design it."

"I don't need to chant at all. To me, magic is just giving orders."

His tone was still calm, but the more it sounded like this, the worse Atram's mood became.
