Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Trading was booming on the first day of trading. A stampede occurred at 12 noon. One of the parties involved, Mr. Al, a senior partner of the Lowe Chamber of Commerce, said in an interview that the person responsible for the accident will be held accountable for the losses caused by not buying in time. …

Finally, at 5 pm, the closing price per share was fixed at 531 francs 7 livres. The general manager of Saliana Mining Company promised that the ratio of public bonds to stocks will be increased to 450 francs per share tomorrow, and the Kingdom's public debt transactions are active...

Sir Buffon, director of the Holy Kingdom Museum and director of the royal study, issued an analysis report on the much-anticipated natural gold nugget, confirming that it was relatively pure gold, but had a small amount of unknown substances attached...

The Governor of the Shariana Region and Earl Grenar promised investors that a stable dimensional channel will be constructed by next summer at the latest, and the gold mine development plan is being discussed..."

After flipping through it, all the newspaper headlines were about the news about Shariana Mining, especially the information about newly opened stocks on the stock exchange.

There are few reports on the secondary plane and the gold mine itself. There is only a small tofu block that reads: In response to the appeal of the congregation, the church stated that it has plans to build a church in the secondary plane directly under the royal family, and is in contact with the palace...

The front page of Elemental Pravda, a newspaper affiliated with the Magic Guild, is about the adventures of Rorschach and his team in the secondary plane. The report is full of exaggerated and fabricated descriptions, more like a third-rate novel. As the pseudonymous protagonist, Rorschach (turned into Lorca in the article) has not given any interviews anyway. Interestingly, there is not a single mention of gold or gold mines in the entire text.

"Little rich man Rorschach, how does it feel to gain three thousand gold coins in one day without doing anything and become famous?" Cano read the headline of the morning newspaper at the group meeting, and Pascal was extremely envious.

"Teacher, the stock price has increased by three thousand francs, and the lang and the gold coins may one day no longer be worth. And I am not the protagonist of that novel." There are two key points that Rorschach grasped: Mr. Aller hides After the fire, it sounds like he got a promotion; there was one less protagonist in the whole reporting process.

"A low-level mage from the north, a boy who looks like a morning star. At least the mages in the guild and the apprentices here know who he is. You can't keep a low profile among the mages." Kano winked at Rorschach.

"By the way, there seems to be no reports in other newspapers mentioning the Magic Guild."

"Two factors." Kano yawned: "The Holy Kingdom and the Church have been trying to downplay our existence to the people, and we are happy to do so.

Secondly, Master Rorschach, you underestimate our guild too much. How can you swim in such muddy waters with your face exposed? You will never see the words 'Magic Guild' and 'Gold Mine' appear in the same report in any newspaper. "

Cano took out several pamphlets and distributed them to Rorschach, Pascal and Paulina. Rorschach took it and it turned out to be his own paper. The cover is dark blue vellum, with a gilded title, and a pressure-volume diagram representing the card... Rorschach cycle.

"With the help of the Earl, your paper enjoys the highest treatment in the guild, and the publication speed is as fast as my own."

Pascal touched the cover and blurted out: "It would be great if I went to the secondary plane."

Paulina rolled her eyes: "I called you in the first place, but you didn't go. Besides, what's the use of your apprentice going?"

Rorschach thus formally reported his experiences in the secondary plane to the group. Rorschach didn't hide any information - after all, Ina and other mages were present throughout the process.

He just concealed the effect of the vibrating quartz powder and attributed the victory in the final battle to the magical [Forest of Dryats] obtained in the dream.

"This is the image of the deer-headed god Dryac, as well as the tree shapes and leaves projected in the Forest of Dryac. I checked the natural history information and determined that most of them are common tree species in the Black Forest, and there is one No corresponding one was found."

Rorschach handed over the painting he had drawn.

"You can also draw? Are you really not from a noble family?" Kano made a joke, and the three of them circulated it and read it.

"This image... is the first time I've seen it. It looks like the dress of a druid in Istani in the north of the continent."

After discussing for a while, Kano gave Rorschach a book list and asked him to search for possible relevant information in the library. Finally, he said:

"The agreement with the so-called gods... I remember that your hometown is in the mountains? Take some time to go to the Black Forest when you go home. You can apply to the guild to organize an expedition team. Well... I can write to the Forest Tower to explain Situation, those guys will be interested. The Feast of Canon holiday gives you an extra ten days.

Take a step back and think about it. Don’t panic if you don’t reach an agreement. Now that the age of gods has passed, as long as I am here, even if the bones in the grave cause trouble, nothing big will happen. Of course, if you have any abnormalities, please report to me in time. "

My mentor is always considerate and reliable at critical moments. Luo Xia's heart warmed up, and he immediately thought: This series of troubles seemed to be caused by someone.

Rorschach remembered someone patting his chest and ensuring that students would not be put in danger: "Dear Master Kano, may I ask why none of the high-level mages discovered the danger of the secondary plane?"

Kano began to hesitate and talk nonsense, which planes are too big, the Archmage can only roughly sense them, which gods have special shapes, which planes have natural disasters that are completely accidental, and which planes are actually there except for guys like Granol who want to fiefdoms. People are obsessed with barren land...

"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy: next month will be the Holy Chant holiday. As usual, I will give you the allowance for this month and next month. Save your money, don't get there The holidays are tight.”

With a wave of his hand, three cowhide bags floated out of the ring, and the coins inside floated to the three of them with a clattering sound.

"Thank you, Master Kano!" "Thank you." Kano was smiling, looking a bit like an old man handing out lucky money.

Finally, he announced: "One more thing. This is the last time we will issue metal coins. Next year we will issue banknotes in response to our great Majesty's call. Well, the amount we issue will still be based on the value of gold coins."

The last group meeting of the year was really a bit slack. Except for Rorschach's paper at the beginning, the report and discussion on the secondary planes, it was all mundane matters. What is touching is that Kano looked down on the students' trivial skills and did not withhold them, issue subsidies and then collect them.

Back in the dormitory of Tower of Stars, Rorschach was preparing to write a proposal report for the next phase of research, focusing on the issue of magic transformation. Of course, the research could only be carried out after returning from vacation. He planned the days. Before the vacation, he needed to find information on Dryats and the Black Forest. The more and more detailed the better, and there were still some things to deal with.

"Master Rorschach, there is a letter from you in the mailroom." Talling reminded Rorschach.

The sender of the letter was both unexpected and reasonable - the Imperial Embassy.
