Chapter 507: Resisting the Ban
"Unit 2-101 is ready!" "All units are ready!"

The former technical officer and "legendary commander" of the Imperial Army in the Second Battle of Moncado Fortress has been entrusted with an important task, and he is responsible for the anti-magic devices of the entire Helmut Line.

The little technical officer was promoted to the "Empire's Great Technical Master", and the other technical dogs were all looking forward to it. He nodded with honor and excitement: "Let's get started."

The anti-magic devices have been upgraded to the fourth generation. They no longer require the roar of steam engines when they are started, the preparation time for starting is greatly shortened, and the duration is greatly extended.

The new model is completely powered by a strange thing called "passivated transmutation dust". It seems to have appeared overnight. "Big Jiba" can't figure out when the Imperial Army's logistics department can get such a useful high-energy magic source.

The final preparations were completed, [Radio Communication] was silenced, and the magic-free radio communication based on the reverse development of the spell was activated. As the devices on the defense line were confirmed one after another, the "Wall of Sighs" system of "Helmut" was fully tested for the first time.

"Have some mints, it'll make everyone feel better." The spellcasters felt a familiar uncomfortable feeling, and the "Big Skill Master" was experienced, so he gave everyone with magical abilities in the facility some food to boost their spirits.

Meanwhile, the Magic Guild was in chaos.

"The line is disconnected!"

"Transmission failed, cross-border transmission failed! Suspend cross-border transmission, stop operation!"

The Guild Communications Room saw that the nodes in the north of the continent were extinguished, and only a few routes connecting Byrne, Istani and the Lowland Principality were still normal.

The Senate has already made some estimates on the launch of the anti-magic device, and the guild will soon launch a contingency plan.

The "Helmut" Line did not cover the entire territory. The eastern line ended at the Bavarian border, and the western line was not built after the Black Forest. The first plan was to transfer cross-border messages through multiple routes to bypass the line of defense. The second plan was to pre-buried telegraph lines in the middle of the line of defense in the same way as the "Bavaria-Valois" model. For simple text messages, if the messenger allowed the guild to view the letter, it could be converted into a wired telegraph and sent out.

Bavaria, in a forest on the outskirts of Munich.

"Is it going to start again?" Martin saw Caroline and Andre were there, as well as many spellcasters and apprentices. The last experiment to resist the magic-forbidden device ended in failure, and he thought Rorschach had forgotten about it.

Rorschach had conducted experiments in the tower before, but not now.

In the past, Rorschach had made the machine by hand after spying on the device in the crashed airship. However, after deepening his cooperation with the Imperial Army's Logistics Department, Rorschach had obtained most of the parameters and structure of the original version from the "technical requirements" of the bidding and the development of the energy supply interface.

To round it off, it means "jointly developed". To round it off again, the fourth-generation anti-magic device was developed by Rorschach himself.

Anyway, there is now a long-term device in the forest of Byrne that is as effective as the one on the defense line. The hand-made device used to be able to operate safely in the isolation room of the magic tower. If the device to be tested today is installed in the tower, not only the magic tower, but also the factory will probably explode.

"Let's start." Rorschach nodded, signaling Martin that he could start the device.

The spellcasters all stood far away, and Martin, who was the opposite of magical talent, would not feel uncomfortable at all, so it was most appropriate for him to be in charge of lighting the fire.

Rorschach also brought in some apprentice mages from the Tower of Mysticism to participate in the test. It was the first time for them to be baptized by the device. They were skeptical at first, but after seeing the field unfold, they realized what it meant to spellcasters.

It can be said to be suffocation on the magical level.

Rorschach introduced the performance of the improved version: "The closer you are to the device, the more serious the interference with spellcasting. You can try to cast spells as the distance increases, but it will basically result in spell failure." This effect is very different from the one-time release version of "Magic Tsunami".

He personally tested it and found that the long-endurance version of the device has a radius of about one thousand meters around it, which is a forbidden zone, or a dead magic zone; the radius of eight hundred meters outside is a failure zone with severe interference; and the area beyond that is a disturbance zone. However, this is for the great wizard. Ordinary spellcasters and unprotected alchemical equipment are forbidden areas within two thousand meters. Now Rorschach is just a few steps away from the device, and he wants to try it.

Even standing at the top of the current spellcaster, the familiar feeling remains unchanged. The docile and obedient magic power that can be absorbed and shaped at will, like water and oil, now turns into violently flying sand. Anyone who attempts to control it will be counterattacked:

Please imagine a sandblasting machine facing you. It will not take long before the high-speed "sand" polishes the mage's cerebral cortex smooth.

Extremely chaotic frequency, no, the device emits what can be said to be "pseudo-random". Although Rorschach is unable to cast magic, he can still feel the distribution of magic power itself.

Magic is caused by the vibration of magic power at a specific frequency. Magic power itself is a particle, and Polosha hopes to find a clearer perspective to observe it and determine its situation at this moment, which is the basis for controlling it.

But this seems impossible. At this moment, the mages cannot bear the bad environment in the field. It is obviously impossible to use Master Poincare's machine to depict the current waveform of the environmental magic. The result will only be overload.

It was up to Rorschach himself to find a perspective that would elevate his perception to encompass extreme situations that rarely occur in nature.

Rorschach just stared at the running device. He felt a little nauseous and dizzy, and the machine was a little blurry.

Wait, is it the blurry vision? Martin was waiting for the command to stop at a nearby operating table, and Rorschach found him and asked, "Hey, look at this device with your eyes, do you feel any blur?"

Martin did as he was told, and after a moment's hesitation he said, "It seems so." He looked again and again, and finally gave a positive answer, "There is an unstable double image."

"Good, very good." Martin was confused by Rorschach's praise. He saw the great wizard walking towards the device step by step.

Matter can also be waves. I myself am made of matter and can be discrete and still maintain myself after being discrete.

Rorschach had experienced a similar feeling in [Gaseous Form]. Now he tried to give up resistance. Not only did he let his own magic power stir up with the "storm" in the environment, he also tried to make his material body resonate with the anti-magic device.

Caroline and Andre were the first to stabilize themselves in the forbidden magic field and come back to their senses.

They discovered that Rorschach himself had begun to get closer and closer to the device at some point, and then disappeared into the forest without a trace.

"Rorschach?" "Rorschach—?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the minds of the two, instantly calming their panic: "It's okay, I'm here."

"You are."

"I am scattered throughout this area. Hmm. The most likely location is five steps away from the device, in the southeast direction. But I am deliberately preventing my matter wave from collapsing, so you may not be able to determine where I am."

They looked according to Rorschach's description and saw that there was indeed a shadow next to the device.

Caroline quickly realized: "Rorschach, are you using [Telepathy] to communicate with us?"

"Yes, it's not stable yet, but at least there is a breakthrough." Rorschach's voice was normal: "The transmutation dust loaded is not enough to keep the device running for too long, so the first set of experiments will end here."
