Mage? Spell Engineer!

"No."

The next five pieces of leather armor didn't respond. It seems that the first two shipments were just lucky. The actual explosion rate is not high. I think it is safer this way.

Only one of the six pieces of leather armor obtained at great risk was useful, which made the two commissioners unwilling to accept it: "You don't have any? Try another method?"

"If you don't give up, just give it a try." Rorschach then used some sound and light effects to make the two of them believe that the remaining five items were indeed just ordinary leather goods.

"...To summarize the two manuscripts, it is a spellcaster's assumption and verification of the changes in environmental magic caused by the spellcasting process."

Rorschach did not say anything about the magic ban: "The manuscript was leaked from our empire. This summary and Night Owl's records should be enough to lock down the specific content, right?"

The two commissioners really couldn't understand what Rorschach was talking about, so they could only nod in agreement. Anyway, it's just a business trip. We can't let the two go find a magic tower or a mage academy to sit in for a few years to understand everything.

"We are leaving to return to the empire. The next step is for personnel from the trading company and the embassy to contact you."

Rorschach nodded and shook hands with the two of them. The opponent's hands are very rough, with calluses on the sides of the fingers, the edges of the palms, and the tiger's mouth.

"Take care of yourself."

Following Night Owl's instructions, Rorschach left first. When he passed by Bibo Tea House again, a "Closed for Business" sign had been put up. From the window, he could see that some tables and chairs inside had been overturned and smashed.

I don't know when the sun was covered by clouds. The wind in late autumn and early winter was a bit cold, so Luo Xia wrapped her robe tightly.

This kind of weather is not suitable for taking a cruise anymore. Rorschach summoned a taxi. It was covered in fruit green paint, which had oxidized and turned yellow, but the whole car was still neat.

"Go to Stella's Garden." The maze at the entrance to the Tower of Stars is there.

"Sir, sit still." The coachman pulled the bell. After jingling, the horse began to move on its own, and the reins continuously controlled it to run towards the garden.

Rorschach looked out the car window all the way.

The pedestrian costumes in Valuauna are more colorful than those in the imperial capital. Women are now often wrapped in black and white fur or camel-colored velvet cloaks, but you can still see the lace collars and skirts inside. Men tend to wear loose coats, tight trousers, and eye-catching exaggerated collars.

When passing the church, many people in thin clothes gathered at the door. They gathered around the monk's stall to receive wheat porridge and a small piece of black bread. Among them, an old woman led a child and made a gesture of prayer and worship towards the monks and the door of the church.

"Seven out of 10,000...ha."

After traveling for about half an hour, the carriage arrived at a section of road that Rorschach was somewhat familiar with, near Pastoral Avenue. Here you can see the Tower of Star Torch.

So the Star Torch Tower is so close to the entrance? When I came here for the first time, I went back to the Magic Guild. Now I saw the Starlight Torch Tower and arrived at the entrance of the maze within a short while.

"Sir, here we are, my car can't get through the iron gate." The iron gate at the entrance of the garden was closed. Rorschach paid and got out of the car and walked in. The door opened automatically with a beeping sound.

Maze... After reaching a fork in the road, Rorschach took out the mage badge. At this time, the right edge of the badge lit up, and the boy walked to the right.

In this way, Rorschach walked through the maze alone and came to the door.

Don't make the same mistake as the first time you entered... Fortunately, Rorschach successfully entered the lobby of the Tower of Stars.

…

Although the chief professor's office is on the third floor of the Tower of Stars, Kano basically stays near the Tower of Star Torch unless he is in class. Now that Rorschach is teaching, there are fewer days when I need to go to the Tower of Stars to do some math.

"This building also belongs to the Magic Tower?" The building at the foot of the Starlight Torch Tower, in addition to its relatively high floor height, is also characterized by thick and solid walls.

In the second half of the month, on the first day of entering the research room, Rorschach followed Kano into the building. The first floor was filled with the noise of metal banging and the roar of some machinery, while the second and third floors had an indescribable disgusting smell that didn't get better until the fourth floor.

"That's right."

Master Kano introduced to Rorschach:

After the Magic Guild proposed to build the Star Torch Tower for the king as a birthday gift, the generous King approved a large piece of land at the end of the central axis of the capital with a wave of his hand, and also urged the municipal government to build the widest pastoral avenue in the city.

The Star Torch Tower occupies a small area. In order to live up to His Majesty the King's generosity, the Star Tower built a large number of buildings on the designated land.

"Who knew that every inch of land here is so valuable now? But people in Valluana like to chase fashionable and interesting things, and they like to squeeze in next to the highest landmark in the city."

The foot of the tower became very popular, and wealthy merchants and nobles were proud to own properties nearby. Relying on the income from selling and leasing outbuildings, Fanxing and the guild not only covered the cost of this large project, but also received a steady stream of income.

The current building is the Starry Tower's private research area.

The king will be happy, the magic guild and the Tower of Stars will be happy, the dwarf builders who took over the project will be happy, and the wealthy merchants and nobles who bought the real estate and storefronts at the foot of the wonder will have face, profit, and happiness. Everyone is happy, everyone is happy!

Hiss... Why does this routine seem familiar? The soul of the time traveler shuddered.

"It's true that wonders rejuvenate the country!" That's right, in a world with magic, performing wonders will definitely have buff bonuses, which is reasonable and reasonable.

Kano was also very happy: "Well said! We are here, let's have a group meeting..."

In this weather, a fire has been lit in the fireplace, and the conference room has opened its doors to spray out warmth and light incense. The marble table was surrounded by several high-backed chairs, each covered with soft cushions. There are standing cabinets stuffed with information and books on all sides, and there is a presentation board full of paintings beside the fireplace.

For the function of the room, it seemed too comfortable, as evidenced by Pascal's drowsiness.

In addition to this apprentice, who is older than Rorschach, there is also a girl with a high ponytail who is sitting upright, flipping through the information, and sketching with a quill from time to time.

"Let me introduce you, Pascal, you have met each other before. This is your senior sister, Paulina."

"Hello, Rorschach, first-level mage."

Paulina nodded and smiled, her lips thin: "I'm glad that Teacher Kano has recruited a new person. Paulina, a third-level mage, is in the same class as apprentice Pascal."

"Pau, you don't need to emphasize the last sentence." Pascal yawned.

Cano asked Paulina to introduce the current research project to Rorschach. The current team is studying teleportation magic that goes directly to the star realm:

Although there were spells to connect to other secondary planes before the old empire, only the star realm of the main plane did not have the correct rituals and spells to reach it. Some dwarves once built rockets powered by concentrated phlogiston, but they encountered transmutation dust turbulence after leaving the atmosphere and sacrificed their precious lives for exploration.

"We are isolated from the star realm by a 'shell' composed of transmutation dust. To break through, it may require a huge ether flux. This is the result of Master Kano's research."

This means that trying to cast the spell you are studying requires the joint casting of multiple archmages, the use of rituals and magical minerals, or...

"Convert other energies into ether. The theoretical model for the transformation of magic and energy was proposed by an imperial mage in a paper."
