Mage? Spell Engineer!

The penultimate day before the Holy Chanting Festival was a good day, and Kano came to the Tower of Stars early for the first time.

"It's a shame to miss the biggest and most grand festival."

"There were too many parties some time ago. Let's go home and be quiet. Let's go, Teacher Kano."

"Okay, okay. Be careful on the road."

Rorschach walked out of the chief professor's office, the Tower of Stars, and the pastoral street.

The taxi is now easy to greet again, and the driver serves the guests with a smile.

"I'm sorry, sir, the price has gone up a bit. Is twenty copper coins okay?"

"Okay, let's go."

Rorschach did not leave the city directly, but went to the teahouse diagonally opposite Pachaluka Trading Company. The last transaction of the year was about to begin.

Rorschach ordered a cup of hot honey tea and waited slowly. Although the bells of the Feast of Canon are approaching, it is a good thing that the biggest festival in the Kingdom of Saint-Valois is not closed early, otherwise it can be expected that the roads and teahouses here will be crowded with people. It is also unknown whether the teahouse is open.

"Would you like to buy cigarettes, sir? The best quality imported from Istani."

A little newsboy has a small container hanging on his chest and a messenger bag full of newspapers to sell.

"Do you want to buy stocks, sir? Formal contract, just sign on the opposite side, minimum one livre to buy shares."

"What?" Luo Xia met a newsboy selling stocks for the first time.

The newsboy thought that Rorschach was interested in stocks, so he quickly reported the names of the stocks: "The trading company opposite can split the stock and sell it, Saraiana Mining can buy one cent, and other stocks are also needed: Lowe Trading Company, Monto Transportation Company, Valu Varnes newspaper, Seine daily newspaper"

"No, give me the morning newspaper and the elemental newspaper."

"Element News? I don't have a husband here. How about Red Butterfly News?"

"Okay, how much is it?" Luo Xia felt that the informant was very slow today. Fortunately, the airship departed in the afternoon, so there was enough time. Rorschach simply bought two newspapers and started reading them.

The Valluana Morning News has opened a special section to report and track the rise and fall of stocks. The top one is naturally gold mining companies, and many trading companies have also issued stocks. They all rise and rise, with only small rises and big rises. The difference is that a scene of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes.

"Master Luo Xia, do you also trade in stocks?" The trading company's employee finally came down. He didn't order tea after he sat down: "Let's be honest, the trading company is short of cash now, and we can't pay your salary now."

ah? I am your informant, how dare you play like this?

"I'm here first to collect the money, and secondly to inform you that I will hand over this month's report to the agency myself - I will set off back to the empire today."

The clerk showed a flattering smile: "I understand, I understand. It's like this, Master Rorschach. We are indeed short of funds, but we will never miss you. All of them have been converted into stocks and credited to your account. Now you have 100% One and one-fifth share.

How great is this, you must know that Saliana Mining is hard to find now. If you need travel expenses, tell us, and we can squeeze out some money for you as an emergency. I hope you can put in a good word in front of the boss. "

Hard to find? How come I don’t know that I have ninety-five shares? In order to prepare for his return, Rorschach commissioned the guild to sell five shares, and then asked Kano to help exchange them into gold coins. After some losses, Rorschach got 70%, which was a "huge sum" worth about 2,000 gold.

He took away the newspaper and stood up: "Thank you for your kindness and say goodbye."

"I wish you a smooth journey." The clerk acted like he was bidding farewell to Rorschach's friend, but Rorschach just felt it was a waste of time and ignored him.

Instead of passing through the central port area, whose core building is called the "Sky Tree," Rorschach entered the base, which is also the lobby, of the giant high-rise building to catch the airship.

The hall is extremely wide, with cars constantly delivering goods, and security inspection procedures. Magic lamps solidified with [Lighting Technique] are always used. Countless solid rock pillars provide a sense of security. If the gilt reliefs and wooden floors are replaced with simple ones, Plain colors and marble will give it a more traditional feel as a transportation hub.

The flip-flop timetable shows that the main flights are now going back and forth between Valluana and other regions in the kingdom. The people coming and going have a mysterious Spring Festival beauty.

Arrive at the Imperial Capital, Imperial Capital, Imperial Capital. It took a long time to search for his shift before Luo Xia arrived at the Imperial Capital as planned, then returned to the academy to finish the report with Bald Head before going home.

"Is this your first time on an airship?" A middle-aged man in uniform walked up to Rorschach. He was attracted by Rorschach's mage robe.

When Rorschach entrusted the tower spirit, he actually entrusted the magic guild to buy tickets, and the guild directly sent first-class tickets by default.

Wear mage robes to ride on the airship. That's Cano's advice.

Rorschach nodded: "Yes."

"Welcome, I'm a staff member here. Can I see your ticket? I can guide you. A person who takes an empty boat for the first time will definitely be confused here."

Rorschach hesitated for a while, thinking that this was not an old train station, and that he still had the [Mage's Hand], so he handed it to him.

"What a coincidence! I am the caster co-pilot of the Sky Fortress, Ted. First-class tickets allow you to take a separate passenger elevator. We happen to have the same goal. Please come with me."

Sky Fortress was the name of the airship Rorschach was traveling on. The two of them walked and chatted, and then boarded the exquisite small passenger elevator next to the large elevator. "Spellcaster First Officer?"

"Even though I'm dressed like this, I'm also a first-level mage. This place and the airship are all run by spellcasters. I graduated from the Tower of Stars, how about you?"

Rorschach put on the "ID card" of the Tower of Stars: "I am the new researcher and teacher this year."

"You are so young!" The first officer looked at Luo Xia again. He originally thought that this young man was a child of some noble family and was going to the empire to gain experience. In recent years, it has been popular for children of nobles and businessmen to travel around the world and squander money, which is called "experience". .

"Why don't the elevators go straight up and down?" Whether it's an elevator carrying cargo or ordinary passengers or the passenger elevator I'm taking now, I have to transfer every time I go up about ten floors, which is equivalent to two elevators in one set. Ladders run alternately.

"Because when the Sky Tree was operating in the first year, the big elevator fell directly from the top to the bottom, taking five tons of cargo with it. The foundation was almost smashed through, and the guy in charge almost jumped from the top. In addition to handcuffs and anklets, he He was still tied up and thrown into prison." The first officer explained with a smile, as if he was telling an interesting story.

breakdown? Rorschach couldn't imagine that this building was about a hundred stories high. The passenger elevator was okay, but the freight elevator was extremely slow and cumbersome, but now Rorschach felt it was necessary.

"No speed reducer?"

"There are [Featherfall Technique] magic circles and electromagnetic damping components. They were all done when the dwarves and guilds designed and built them, but they didn't take effect when they fell." Vice-pilot Ted shrugged: "So the person in charge It’s time to catch it, right?”

Wind Xunxun said on the boarding platform: "It's very dangerous here. Please hold on to the handrails all the way."

Rorschach saw the "Sky Fortress" that was nearly three hundred meters long at close range. The surface of the cigar-shaped air bag was brushed with grease and reflected light in the sun. There were also magic circuits all over the boat's body that flickered on and off. Only when people stand in front of this veritable fortress "behemoth" can they truly feel its huge size and the insignificance of people in front of their own creations. Especially the dwarves.

She is now fixed by numerous cables, and the boiler is preheating and spitting out a huge amount of steam. The load part looks like a ship has cut off the part above the deck and hangs it under the air bag. According to Ted, the maximum load capacity is twenty tons. Rorschach finally felt the different intuitive results of the technology tree of the different world - it must be known that airships of the same size were only made and exploded before World War II in the previous life.

The first officer saw that Rorschach was very interested in the airship, as if he had seen it for the first time. The man arranged his clothes and boarded the boat, and invited Rorschach: "Master Rorschach, if you want to know more about the airship, you can come to our cab after putting your luggage. It is very close to the first class cabin. Just tell me my name, Ted."
