Mage? Spell Engineer!

It is not impossible that Rorschach's information channels can know the approximate location of a brigadier general of the Imperial Army. At least the guys in the logistics department didn't mind giving the archmage a small favor after having food, drink and food in the special zone.

But they only dared to reveal a vague scope. For example, they told Rorschach that the emperor recently sent a medal to a new general through the air, and it was quickly delivered to the boundary of a certain state. The precise location is confidential.

In other words, it is up to Rorschach to find it himself.

The solution he found was very simple. He carried Franz and flew to high altitude: "Richard? Brigadier General Richard?"

Dozens of kilometers away, Richard's ear was pricked. It seemed that he was hallucinating something. It was the sound of [Radio Wave Communication Technique]!

Who would call me by my nickname? Richard felt strange in a daze. The voice was weak and distorted, and Mr. Brigadier couldn't recognize the other party's identity for a while. It was late at night, so of course Richard wasn't afraid, but he felt uncomfortable all over.

He thought for a moment and answered in a formal tone: "The caller, please identify himself. Please identify the caller."

Unexpectedly, the voice soon became clear: "You will know later"

Richard suddenly broke into a cold sweat: He was locked!

[Radio Wave Communication Technology] Currently, two propagation methods can be distinguished. One is to broadcast in all directions, and the other is to send signals concentratedly to a cone-shaped space covering the target.

The first call to him and the way he responded were all broadcasts. The quality of the second call suddenly improved, which meant that his location was clear.

This is impossible! He often uses this spell like other military mages. No one has ever been able to grasp the location of the sender with just one sentence. For example, right now, he is completely unaware of the source of the caller's voice.

Richard quickly stood up from his desk, loaded his gun with a skillful posture, and prepared to cast a spell.

coming!

"I'm here. I'm sorry to disturb you late at night." This sentence changed from [Radio Wave Communication Technique] to actual speech. Rorschach also changed from a state of virtualization and accelerating flight to a physical entity, just as his forehead hit the gun's gun. mouth.

"Hey, hey, it's me Rick, don't shoot!"

"Because it's you, it's okay if I pull the trigger, right?" Richard said angrily: "If I call the guards, I don't know how much of a commotion it will cause. Rorschach, it is a serious violation of the law for you to break into the military camp without permission!"

"It's because your troops are not vigilant enough. The general is a spell caster, but he doesn't take any precautions against the mage." Luo Xia said harshly.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, put away his gun, and dissipated the activated magic. Only then did he notice that there was a young man next to Rorschach who looked not very good. He was pale and trembling all over.

Rorschach patted Franz on the back and shot a stream of blue light into him: "I just came back from Valois and brought you some specialties."

"The gift is a person?"

"Imperial soldier, but captured by the National Guard. The reason why he fell into my hands is because he said 'Rorschach is my brother' to everyone he met. Franz, salute General Richard!"

"Yes!" Franz immediately cheered up, straightened his chest, and saluted Richard.

"What are you doing?" Richard felt that Rorschach was a little eccentric today.

Fortunately, Rorschach finally got down to business with him, but she used [Messaging Technique] to bypass Franz. Richard showed an expression of enlightenment and understanding, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Franz: "According to convention, a general can take servants trained by his family as personal guards. Although I don't have any, you can stay in our department in this name.

"Originally I didn't want to say this, but you have a good brother."

Franz immediately saluted again: "Thank you, brother! Thank you, general!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Rorschach patted his shoulder encouragingly: "When you are under Richard's command, you must obey your superiors' orders and obey the command."

"yes!"

Franz was temporarily arranged to sleep in Richard's camp. Early the next morning, he was sent out of the camp under the cover of Rorschach and put on an army carriage.

This was when Franz felt something was wrong, but after all, the people in the carriage were all soldiers. He was slightly surprised when he saw Franz was the last to get on the carriage and did not express much.

There were two horses running parallel in front of the carriage, and riding them were Richard's adjutant and another officer.

The adjutant explained the background of Franz, who finally got on the carriage: "The general has a relative's child who is a member of the military school. He is not a formal cadet, so he is an orderly. He is given the job of cleaning and cleaning the toilets, and he is allowed to rub it. class."

Another officer was surprised: "The general's relative? Can that be arranged like this?"

"Hey, it's time for experience." The adjutant kept Richard's instructions in mind (paraphrasing Rorschach): "Let him do all the dirty work, just two points. Take it easy during corporal punishment, and be sure to keep an eye on him to learn."

The officer suddenly realized: "I understand, it's the young man whom the family can't control, and he came to the military academy to keep a close eye on him."

"Yeah, that's right, just understand the spirit."

Elsewhere, Rorschach and Richard were walking in the woods outside the camp.

"His Majesty the Emperor has completely distrusted the military mage. He has installed a set of magic-forbidden devices in the palace, and has not taken a single step out of the palace since he ascended the throne. Unless..."

"Always on?"

"Well, the technical department has made another breakthrough. Now the low-frequency magic-blocking devices can continue to operate. That's why I said a group. There are three devices in the palace that alternately shield the magic."

Is this the devil?

Then Rorschach thought of the order placed by the Imperial Army: "Some time ago, the Logistics Department contacted me, hoping to build hundreds of collectors on the southern line. I said it was impossible, and they turned around and asked if they could supply it in the long term. They wanted to sign a contract. A big deal.

"Isn't it supplying energy to the long-lasting magic ban device?"

Richard thought about it and agreed with Rorschach's conjecture: "The Dwarf Confederacy supported by the empire won the civil war and received a large amount of mithril and other rare metals as one of the rewards. However, the market price of mithril remains high. The empire was internally digested.”

"Then it is a possible consumption item to make a magic-forbidden device." Rorschach said, thinking about whether he could get a share of this batch of mithril. Didn't the Imperial Army want a collector? That thing also needs to be secret. Silver

"If this is true, a dead magic zone will appear on the border of the empire. Aren't you worried, Master Rorschach?"

"No. They are looking for me to be their supplier!"

"Actually, there are other technologies for converting energy into magic power, and they don't necessarily rely on your transmutation dust." After leaving the system of the military mage, especially the information cocoon of Master Necromancer, Richard was finally able to obtain more information. Especially regarding Rorschach, he discovered that this friend had been very active in recent years.

"I know. But they still chose the solution of using magic to shield magic instead of burning coal. In fact, if they want to keep the device running, high-density transmutation dust is almost their only option."

"If only I were as confident as you. Now the defensive faction is advocating the final line of defense, hoping that it will become the 'Wall of Sighs' for the Valois, especially the mages."

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Spears and shields are always competing for iteration, and the continuous magic ban device will definitely be less effective than the instantaneous release. Therefore, Rorschach is skeptical whether a complete dead magic zone can be created.

His next task is to break through the taboo on spellcasting in the dead magic zone.
