Mage? Spell Engineer!

Before Bart's wedding, the resident wizard of Würzburg died of unnatural causes, which allowed the boy to take over the job. It was his turn next, but unfortunately the unlucky assassin found Rorschach.

Later, the resident wizard's superior promised to launch an investigation, but it was left unresolved, and there was no news of the inspector Mariano who almost died. It is very likely that the investigation was suppressed by the military and the military wizards.

As for the reason for the assassination, Rorschach guessed that those people might be imperialists and would not allow the resident wizard who was close to the state to have close contact with the king.

"Thank you for your reminder." Rorschach admitted that this information was very important. The attention of the group of mad dogs should not be on Byrne at the moment, but it does not mean that they will not bite again, especially after the Kingdom of Byrne may take the initiative to intervene in the situation in the future.

As for the archives, the absence of the agency did save him a lot of trouble, but Rorschach didn't care now. With his current strength, even if the agency still existed, no one could stop him from withdrawing from the agency.

For Rorschach, even if the secret archives brought by the chancellor were made public, the Empire would not be able to blame him. Moreover, he did not have the desire to "come to power" like Bart, and no so-called political enemies would use this matter to bully him. As the saying goes, "No desire makes one strong."

The chancellor may also know this, and he handed the file to the person concerned: "I wonder if Master Rorschach is satisfied with this 'gift'? You should thank Mr. Sabins: outside this file, your identity is covered by a code name. Therefore, even if the military wizard takes over the broken agency, he will not be able to find you for the time being."

"I am a little curious about my code name."

"Ibis. The ibis with high hopes." Sabins never trusted spellcasters and controlled the number of mages in the agency, but the gap between ordinary people and spellcasters could not be made up by scrolls and alchemical props alone. Regardless of whether he realized this later, Otto also knew that the failure of the agency was inevitable.

At least the old friend's vision was right. The chancellor did not know how strong Rorschach, who seemed to be devoted to running a business, was now. In terms of this foundation, at least he was not much worse than the Bintissen family on the throne of the palace.

The private dinner was still going on. The chancellor actually knew that Rorschach had participated in the development of new communication technology in the Starry Tower. Of course, he also noticed the telegraph line in Byrne.

Rorschach promised to license the technology to the Empire's enterprises, but the chancellor hoped to get radio technology.

Was the Starry Tower successfully developed? Was it Master Poincare who made the move? This was because Rorschach was behind the times. He didn't even know that a prototype machine had been seized from the battlefield by his former roommate. So he could only confess that radio had not yet been realized when he participated in the research.

But he had a new idea: "The advantage of the Imperial Army is that there are more low-level spellcasters than the National Guard. It is feasible to study and copy Valois' technology, but why not take advantage of it?"

"You mean"

"Improve it on the basis of [Telepathy]." Rorschach thought it was feasible. [Telepathy] was originally a somewhat secretive spell. Rorschach did not study its principle in detail. He could only confirm it from the process of learning it, relying on the vibration of environmental magic to spread.

But it is obvious that the vibration of environmental magic cannot spread very far, and the range is about the same as normal speaking. Then can we introduce electric magic and turn the caster into a humanoid base station?

"[Telepathy] and [Electric Claw] are both low-level magic. What if we try to combine them? The radio's transmission and reception principle and mechanism can be abandoned, and the carrier of magic communication can be replaced by electromagnetic waves, which is different from Valois's radio machine to avoid being easily intercepted, and can obtain a longer transmission distance. Sorry, these are all immature ideas."

"I don't understand this aspect, but I assure you that this idea will be taken seriously." While the prime minister was speaking, the secretary was taking notes.

The secretary recorded that while Rorschach was talking, the prime minister was also thinking. The current trend is that magic is spreading, and the empire will speed up the discovery and training of talents. But is it necessarily a good thing to expand the team of spellcasters in this way? Just like the imperial army that is gradually out of control

The magician will intervene in the army, and soon it will not be limited to the army. The subordinates of the chief military wizard are examples, and the person being talked to, Bart, are also examples.

But to defeat the National Guard, which also has magicians involved, you have to do this. There is a proverb in the Far East: drink poisoned wine to quench thirst. From the perspective of the chancellor, the two countries are now competing in drinking poisoned wine, and then expecting the other to die of thirst or poison.

During the conversation with Rorschach, Mr. Otto also received a gift from Rorschach. The young man revealed that he would develop a new light gas, which has a density only slightly greater than light phlogiston, but is stable in nature, and filling it into an airship will not turn it into a mobile explosive barrel in the air.

What comforted the chancellor the most was that when he revealed the reform of the small constituency in the empire, Rorschach also showed full interest. Since the young man was willing to cooperate with the empire, the chancellor no longer worried that he would turn to Valois, and since he was willing to support the reform, it showed that he was not a person who obeyed the Bavarian royal family.

This was enough. Otto would not be stupid enough to expect a mid-level wizard to be loyal to an emperor he had never met.

The chancellor's itinerary was not over yet. He had to visit the palace again, and then according to the itinerary, he would visit the southern states again.

In the meeting room, all the familiar faces were present, and Bart and the "new face" Varan were also seated. The unfortunate fellow's face was still pale. Although he had come to Byrne very early, he had never been assigned any work. Instead, he focused on recuperating. Only recently did he start to take over some of Andre's work. If Andre continued like this and had little time to practice magic, he would probably have to be an apprentice for the rest of his life.

Master Humboldt came to visit and just happened to "recheck" this person, and the conclusion was that his "lungs" were functioning well.

As for Varan himself, he was young but had "died" several times. What storms had he not seen? At this time, he made his debut in the conference room in front of the "big shots" in the Special Zone, and his emotions were as stable as a dead person.

In his eyes, King Bayern was about to run out of juice. The young wizard sitting at the head of the round table, his savior, was once a guest of Charles XVI. He was the only one in the conference room who knew that from the gold mine incident to the bankruptcy of the mining company, the outbreak of the crisis until the king was snapped, they were all inextricably linked to Rorschach.

Seeing that the tyrant king of Bayern dared to let the "king nemesis" do things on his own, hehe

Click, the door lock was closed under Rorschach's [Mage's Hand], and at the same time, the space of the conference room was closed (Rorschach used the spell cloud to cast the spell uploaded by Caroline). Such a change made the participants suddenly nervous and serious, except for Varan who was calm.

"Some things need to be said behind closed doors. You have all worked hard. Now the scale of the two locations and five factories in the Special Zone is so large that the chancellor of the empire has already smelled it."

The conference room was filled with happy laughter, except for Varan.

"Unfortunately, our time of stable development is about to end, and it is time to make a decision. We can only attract the power of the chancellor, so which side should we lean towards?

"The Royal Family of Bain." Rorschach looked at Bart and Mr. Hasse;

"Valois" his eyes fell on Teacher Caroline, Andre, and the expressionless Varan;

"The Empire." He paused: "Who should we join forces with and share the spoils with? Or should we not choose any of them?"
