Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 439 Heading Towards the Stars

"What if something happens to the Chief Mage?"

"You come to replace me." Kano said indifferently.

"Don't make it sound so light! Okay, step back. If something goes wrong, who can fix it? You are the best at space magic in the whole tower. If something goes wrong, someone needs to come to help, right?"

Poincaré was right. After Carnot, the next best person was Paulina, but this student did not have superhuman talent and was not enough to take on the work on the ground when Carnot took the risk himself. It would be better for Poincaré to force his way into the battle than to let her do it.

Jules Poincaré suddenly said: "I think you just want to escape, escape from the mess."

"Jules! I have spent so many years and energy on this project! Now that success is just around the corner, why don't you let me take the last step? Why?" Kano held up the telegram sent by Rorschach: "Let me tell you, I didn't make this decision on a whim."

He showed genuine happiness on his face: "Now I have a favorite student who is coming. He is capable of supporting me on the ground when I carry out the project."

"Rorschach? I think he's just an idiot in many areas."

"You're half right. He's a fool at space magic, but it's not him who came." Kano's long-lost student who can rival his teacher in talent is definitely not that brat: "It's Caroline."

Poincare was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "If it's her, then it's fine."

"What, you're not going with me?" Caroline was stunned because Rorschach, who had taken the initiative to suggest going back to Valuana, suddenly changed his mind.

It's better not to tell you, because once you go there, you will be caught by your former teacher and forced to work. Rorschach crumpled up the newly received special telegram: "I suddenly have something very important to deal with. Andre has gone to find Hannah and the others."

"Then postpone it for a few days? There has been peace between Valois and the Empire lately."

That was a strategic stalemate. Rorschach shook his head: "Master Kano has already prepared the other end of the portal. Let's not break our promise. If I can handle my affairs quickly, I can come to you later."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Caroline did not doubt him and prepared for the teleportation ceremony according to the coordinates sent by telegram. At the same time, the two places prepared to open a temporary portal.

After watching Caroline being swallowed by the light of the portal, Rorschach turned and left the studio. He told Andre who was waiting there to make sure to keep the equipment in the studio safe, otherwise Caroline would never come back.

"How many transmutation dust extractors can we mobilize?"

"Two are under maintenance, and the remaining 25 are available for use." Andre listed them all.

Rorschach unfolded the crumpled telegram and handed it to Andre: "Keep four in operation, and use our reserve crystals to adjust the parameters of the others. Well, in the name of emergency drills, suspend the production lines involved."

"But that would cause huge losses. All three main plants would need to be reopened and shut down."

"No way." Rorschach sighed: "Andre, if your mentor asked you to help with something within your ability, would you refuse?"

Andre thought that "mentor" was Rorschach's self-proclaimed title: "Of course not."

"That's it." Rorschach pointed to a long string of characters in the telegram: "All twenty-one extraction machines that have stopped working, adjust the extraction points and the amount of collected materials according to the above parameters."

The collectors in the two places now formed a strong enough array, and they were adjusted several times during the ten-day period, which made Andre complain a lot. However, Rorschach was looking forward to it. After all, it was a project he had participated in before, and now he could help Master Kano achieve his goal again, which was something he was proud of as a student.

"This way, I am not the only one in the world who has seen the scenery of the astral world. No, no, it's too pretentious to say that," Rorschach said to himself. As night fell, it was a rare cloudless day. As summer was approaching, Byrne did not have a "plum rainy season", but gradually became dry and hot. The transparent sky was an indigo blue dotted with stars.

"Teacher, the collector adjusted according to the fifth set of parameters is ready." Andre was a little resentful, because every time an adjustment was made, the monthly production capacity of the steel plant, Basif and the food factory would be reduced, and the maintenance team of the collector would have to work longer shifts.

"Okay, got it, turn it on."

Rorschach looked up at the starry sky, and after Andre gave the order, he also looked up at the stars.

"Look over there." Rorschach pointed to a small patch in the northeast corner. As the twenty-one collectors began to extract from the correct position, the macroscopic shape of the transmutation laminar flow in that small area changed.

Carnot's conjecture was correct, Poincare's calculations were correct, and all the machines were working correctly.

Where Rorschach pointed, a few dim stars began to brighten. "The stars are shining because of us," Rorschach murmured.

"." Andre was so surprised that he couldn't speak at first. He didn't expect this effect. After a long while, he said, "How is this achieved?"

"Hmm." It was Rorschach's turn to be speechless. The amount of information transmitted by the telegram was really limited. He just followed the instructions conveyed by Kano. Rorschach stretched his sore neck and said, "Wait until Mage Caroline comes back, then ask her?"

Caroline is in the suburbs of Valuana. The former secret site of the Alchemy Department has now become a launch site. Three extractors are charging the teleportation device of the floating capsule.

It turned out that everything was normal in the Tower of Stars, so normal that as soon as she walked out of the portal, she was caught and dreamed back to the time when she was still in Kano's research group. If there was any difference, it was that the straight line between the Tower of Stars and the research building changed to a straight line between the research building and the secret test site in the suburbs.

As for the situation in Valuvana, she had no chance to observe it for ten days, but she occasionally saw people gathering on the road, surrounding strange wooden frames.

Paulina saw her "senior sister" again. When she first joined the group, she had been in her senior sister's shadow until this "shadow" drifted to the north. Now she is back and quickly took over part of her and Master Kano's work, and did a better job.

Alas. Paulina sighed and continued to check the float capsule.

"Are you alone?"

"I am the only one here, so the load is minimal." Kano turned to look at Caroline: "When my signal disappears, count down 15 minutes before starting the transmission again."

"Five minutes!" Poincare wanted to shorten the time of Carnot's adventure.

"If the protection really fails, it won't take me five minutes to be devoured by the Transmutation Dust." Kano calmed down at the last moment: "In that case, why don't you give me a little more time?"

"Let's begin." Caroline presided over the teleportation ceremony on the ground.

The blue light barrier reinforced by the airship lit up, and the teleportation array powered by three collectors directly sent it to the highest point that the research group's teleportation array could reach, which was higher than the current transmutation dust collection point.

Based on the angle of starlight deflection, Poincare estimated that, starting from the position that could be reached by teleportation, Carnot would still need to rise vertically to break through 23.1 kilometers in order to penetrate the transmutation dust flow and reach the pure starry sky.

The blue light flickered and whimpered until there was no medium other than the transmutation dust that could transmit the sound. The ambient magic in the laminar flow was distorted by the dense fragments of the Kingdom of God. Kano could only rely on the magic in his body to support himself. The flame flow at the tail of the floating cabin lit up and was soon engulfed by the light of the excited fragments.

Accelerate. Disintegrate and sprint. Kano, who lost the airship, propped up the barrier that wrapped his body and headed towards where the stars were.
