~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emiya picked up one of the steel ingots he had and place it in the forge.

The forge by this time looked like something from a Fantasy setting with those glowing runes inscribed on the surface.

Even the fire was burning more intense without any extra assistance from outside, it's like the Runes were empowering the fire just from being close.

Eventually, the redhead started hammering the steel Ingot, with each hit sparks of different colours were generated and cracks of lightning manifested along the way.

"Well, this does it doesn't it? With those runes, Emiya-kun work is at the level of Divine now." The blonde Lancer said with a sigh, once again she is behind...

"T-The what now? That's impossible! Are you telling me he is crafting Divine Constructs now?" Illya asked with utter disbelief, how on Earth did possible Noble Phantasm turn into a Divine Contruct now!?

"Hmm? No, don't be silly, he is using steel at this moment, the forge does the majority of the work, but if you can give him a core of dying star and the concept needed he could craft another EA." Ereshkigal told to Illya, more like specified what she meant by Divine work.

"Oh, I see make sense, so the forge is this level now…" the white-haired girl slowly nodded before panic manifested on her face." This kind of bad you know!? Do you even know what is going to happen if anyone from Clock Tower hears about this forge!?" The Einzbern girl said with wide eyes as horror started to settle in.

"Clock Tower? You do realise that this is what you can call Odin's knowledge? The very same one which allowed him to call himself All-father? I won't be surprised if Divine Spirits at Reverse side of World will take note of this and will try to possess humans with hopes of learning the runes and reconstructing their Divine Bodies with this knowledge." 

*Gulp*

"So, we just going to leave these runes here in the middle of Fuyuki's residential area!?" Illya squeaked that out, realising how horrifying the consequences can be if they do that!

"Don't be silly, these Runes were bound to Emiya-kun, Sensei did say that these are his. So, they are only around when Emiya-kun is around." Ereshkigal waved the concern off, she has full confidence in her Sensei so she is not bothered.

Instead, she looked at him, as after giving the Hero Wannabe the hammer he went to do this own thing on the other side of the workshop.

And Morgan followed him right after.

~~~

"When did you learn Primordial Runes?" The Fairy Queen asked her husband as she ended up sitting on his lap, the moment he got comfortable on the couch on the other side of the workshop.

And the sound of forge? It didn't reach them, when Ren and Morgan build this place they made sure it had all the accommodations.

"This breakfast. Turns out I can access the knowledge I desire, instead of just using it as extra support for calculations," Ren said with a nonchalant shrug.

"Wait. So you never tested your connection to the root properly!?" Morgan asked with disbelief, if it was her she would have checked every possible angle, possibility and use!

"You do realise that people with connection to root either go insane or incredibly bored and I mean very bored to the point that they can kill humanity off for sake of finding out how Counter Force will react to their blatant genocide?" 

"Fair point… I guess… I was too excited, So, how do you resist such an amount of information available to you and you don't use it!?" The pale blond fairy asked him while leaning forward... closer, Ren can see an extremely curious gaze looking at him with the maximum amount of attention right on him.

"...I suppose not thinking about it? And you with Artoria can be distracting, so I simply forget about the knowledge and run it on passive mode."

*Snort*

"The way you put it sounds like some sort of computer which human love to tinker with nowadays." Morgan snorted before using this opportunity to cuddle.

"It doesn't have form, the connection depends on the user, that's of course if one has enough understanding of how to alter this connection to suit its needs and not be overwhelmed," Ren explained to her as by this point he started stroking her hair with one of his hands while his other hand he pulled out the golden key.

The Fairy Queen eyes went to the key, she was curious about so-called one of the greatest Noble Phantasm in the world.

"Can you access it? The treasury of that mudboy?" She asked curiously.

"No. I can't. No matter what we say about Sumerians who used to play with mud and clay their Gods knew what they were doing with this." Ren waived the key making his point.

"...Then what's your plan? You won't going to leave this as it is don't you?" Morgan asked with a very curious look, hearing how the key can't be cracked like this is a very interesting development in her eyes.

"Of course not, that's why I learned Primordial Runes," Ren said with an obvious voice as he pocketed the key and created another one. This one ended up on the table.

The Sorcerer slightly moved, to get more comfortable, he didn't tell his wife that she is in the way for his small project, that's a one-way ticket to sleeping on the sofa.

Not that it going to work much as Morgan would end up sleeping with him on the sofa anyway, but that's not the point of that.

He then started drawing a circle around the key with his prana, it looked like he using some sort of glowing liquid as the circle was glowing…

After the circle was done he started drawing primordial runes around the circle.

The whole time Morgan looked at this with bated breath as this was magic she had never seen before, something from a different pantheon all together.

Moments later she saw the key simply turn into brittle sand...then disappear completely!

"What...just happened? I felt some sort of magic being used there." She asked her husband without looking at him.

"It's what you call reverse engineering done through magic. You see, Bab-ilu is hand-tailored to be used by one individual in its entire existence, unlike a sword which can change owners Bab-ilu can't.

It's meant to be used Only by Gilgamesh, end of the story.

So instead I am going to reverse engineer this and will create my key and treasury the same way, maybe improve the concept a little bit as his vault only has human stuff with some selected few items which he stored there himself." Once Ren finished explaining he created another Bab-ilu and placed it on the circle once more.

Morgan slowly nodded hearing that, this...sounded very much how she recreated Rhongomyniad, through nothing but magecraft, but what her husband is doing is a step further, as he is recreating the whole thing to be hand-tailored for him to be used.

"Does… that mean you make one for me?" She asked him, she moved her hand on his chin and gently made him look at her.

Ren wanted to roll his eyes seeing her acting like a cute puppy, as that was the way she was looking at him.

"I thought you dislike whole limitless wealth laziness increasing Noble Phantasm of King of Heroes." He said that with matter in fact voice, recalling what his wife said not long ago.

"Yes, I disliked, but if my husband is giving one as a gift I will gladly accept such a thing." She said that while snuggling more.

"Well, since you asked," Ren said with a sigh, it was obvious he can't say no to his wife, especially when it's something simple as the Noble Phantasm he was reverse engineering.

"Don't worry husband, since you giving me a gift I can help you get a Rhongomyniad to add to your collection," Morgan said with a slightly smug voice, she knows how to pull her husband heartstrings.

Ren's eyes slightly widened now she was speaking his language! With concept crystallisation, he can recreate the lance properly!

"Alright, since I have proper motivation and encouragement let's get this done!" Once again the Sorcerer went through the motions of creating and trying to understand the key through the concept of reverse engineering with the help of Primordial Runes and some tips from Root itself.

By this point, the shed which was holding nothing more than a few broken items has turned into a workshop that even God's would salivate to visit.

~~~

"Hmm, so that's how it is…" Ren said that as he stroked his wife's hair, after several tries he grasped the concept.

While Emiya can grasp through forge Ren can grasp through...Nothingness.

"That was quick. Even faster than the Hero boy." 

"He is creating while I am breaking and learning from the pieces, I think my route is faster dear." The Sorcerer said with an obvious tone.

"You just trying to be humble, don't need to hold back in my case, I can feel your excitement." The pale blond Fairy said with an amused grin.

"Yes, true. I am very much excited!" He said that while arranging his mind and memories for this specific crystallisation. 

He lifted his hand and showed his palm, moments later lightning crackled above his palm space warped and lines started to appear it looked as if someone was drawing, more like self-drawing.

A few moments those lines started to take a shape… it started to look like a... key.

A futuristic key, a blue key with highlighted black lines.

"And so the Gate of Sorcerer was created." As Ren said that the key dropped into his palm.

His wife curiously like a kitten inspected the key from distance, she didn't touch it, more like observed it.

"Well? Do you have some sort of connection to it?" She asked him, not hiding her excitement.

"Yeah… like its part of me, I even recreated the same abilities to seal portions of the vault, sort it for better and quicker use.

In other words, one won't going to need mentally skim through the content of the vault looking for specific things as they will be sorted out."

Morgan nodded hearing this sounds very nice, indeed!

"And… is it full now? Or you going need to fill it up yourself?" She asked that with a thoughtful look.

"As I mentioned before I slightly changed the concept behind the Gate of Babylon myth. That's what it took so many tries to understand." Ren explained to her as he inspected the key himself with his free hand.

"Once I understood it I added a few extra words to the concept and then used Fifth magic to give it the time needed to saturate as a Noble Phantasm."

"Thus creating upgraded version of same Noble Phantasm for yourself…" Morgan finished for him as she looked at the key with wide eyes.

"Indeed." 

Ren stopped inspecting it and instead used it as a key. He pushed it forward, it looked like it sunk into space itself, completely disappearing, but he felt another connection forming with an empty plain of space.

Moments later the Sorcerer felt a drain on prana, quite an enormous one…

He could power at least several Great Grail War without break which was pulled from him.

It was only a one-time thing though, as a few moments later, inside this plane of space weapons, items, food, clothes, vehicle all sorts of things started to appear…

Thankfully all that was sorted out for him before it can become a mess.

"That's a lot of stuff…" Ren said that as he realised that the pace of items appearing only increased with time.

"Well, there is a reason why that mudboy was that arrogant, husband, now it's your wife's turn!" The pale blond said with a huff, she didn't hide the fact that she was interested just as much as her husband.
