Chapter 531 Spell Whitelist

Rorschach could not help but remind the visionary: "You do not have any title or fief, but your last name tells me that you are a noble. And I want to remind you that the Valois Reform consumed the heads of many nobles, and the king was not immune to it."

"You're right." Pavel said optimistically, "But there is another possibility, isn't it? The Kingdom of Bain is a good example. Your royal family is willing to give up power and share it with capable people, regardless of their social status.

"The same can be done in the empire, as in Istani and Byrne, where the power of the monarch is determined through consultation among the people and then restricted and regulated in the form of laws."

Rorschach thought Pavel was just a simple and naive person, but he did not expect him to talk about the current problems of the empire:
The upper echelons of the empire are still controlled by the nobility, who value family background more than ability;
Although there are parliaments and staffs, the Emperor's arbitrary decision still has a great influence. It is said that his command in a recent campaign has caused extremely bad consequences;

Slavery was not abolished, and much of the conquered population was bound to the farms of the military nobility, whose output could not match that of the factories, and to which the labor force was bound;

The collapse of the military merit system and the change in the form of war made it very difficult for civilians to get promoted when they went to the battlefield, either dying insignificantly or surviving in trenches.
He said that although the empire had some progress in the past, it is still not excellent today, and the remaining negative factors of corruption and compromise are dragging down the overall situation.

Each of them hit the nail on the head, and actually changed Rorschach's opinion of the noble: "You are absolutely right, but it is easy to discover, but it is always extremely difficult to solve. How do you plan to change?
"Excuse me, you are only a major in the Imperial Army now, and you have no real influence in Bomya."

Pavel was not discouraged: "Indeed, if it was just my fantasy, I would not dare to disturb the master, but there are more than one young people who have similar experiences and have been influenced by Valois.

“In the past, pioneers in the imperial army had made attempts, but they had no clear blueprint, no thorough preparation, and no necessary support. They just blindly launched, advanced, and believed in the emperor out of passion.

“Their failure is a lesson for us.

"It is said that Master Luo Xia can influence many industries in Bairn. I come to see you today to ask for your support on behalf of all the young nobles who have the same aspirations as me.

"Through our careful investigation and repeated discussions, we have found that Byrne's path is the most suitable for the entire empire. As nobles, we have the responsibility to choose a path for the country in times of crisis."

You didn't see the crazy Prince Otto. Rorschach's expression became serious: "I only saw a naive and enthusiastic young man lobbying, but I didn't see the possibility of action being realized."

"Are you interested?" Pavel excitedly pulled out a silk scarf from his arms. There were many signatures and bloody handprints on it.

Rorschach looked at it and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know him."

"This is the second son of the Grand Duke of Württemberg, this is the eldest son of the Privy Councilor, and this is..." Unlike the previous rebellion of low-level officers, the people gathered together this time are all of noble bloodline of the empire, and the glory of their families has been flying on the continent along with the flag of the empire since ancient times.

In comparison, a "grandduke in reserve" was indeed mediocre. Even Rorschach was slightly surprised: "What is your organization?"

"We came up with a simple and powerful name: National Salvation Alliance!"

Uh. Very good. I calculated with my fingers and it is indeed December now.

Rorschach nodded repeatedly, which made Pavel look hopeful. However, Rorschach's next words shocked the idealistic young man:
"I am only a spellcaster and will not interfere in the politics of the empire. Whether you want to continue your journey, return to the army or Bomya, please allow me to take my leave."

Rorschach left the reception room and found Andre.

Andrei was very interested in Pavel: "How was your conversation with the guest from Bomya?" "It shouldn't be me who should come forward to contact him. All subsequent matters regarding Pavel and the National Salvation Alliance will be handed over to Varan to follow up and give him enough resources.

"Let's just do our job." According to the plan, today is the day when the "Large Magic Weaver" is launched.

As the intensity of the war gradually escalates, several factories are attacked more and more frequently. Young nobles like Pavel can notice Rorschach's achievements, and there are others who will also pay attention, and there are people with bad intentions who come to sabotage production.

In order to prevent potential sabotage from spellcasters, Rorschach plans to cover important factory areas with "magic weavers."

After the weaver is activated, the magic power of the environment will first be polarized and transformed into the form of interwoven magic strings. For ordinary mages, it is no different from being in the "Forbidden Magic Field". Mages who have joined the spell cloud system and the modified magic circuits in the factory will switch to using magic strings to cast spells with the auxiliary support of the Tree of Law.

This is a disguised spellcasting whitelist system.

At the same time, the weaver transformed the entire magical environment to prevent the invasion of the power of the Earth Mother Goddess. Although there is no sign of her active in Bairn now, Hercules' warning is still ringing in his ears, and this is the main measure that Rorschach can take.

Of course, such a measure would certainly cause dissatisfaction, but Rorschach was only deployed within the factory and would not affect other areas. At least for now.

"Three, two, start polarization." Andre stared at the indicator instrument. Martin, the designated "human starter" closest to the machine, pressed the button. The large machine under the foundation of the central tower began to roar, and the area covering the steel plant slowly unfolded.

The process of weaving the magic strings will make all the spellcasters present feel uncomfortable. Only when the discomfort disappears and the magic can no longer be felt directly, the "polarization" is completed.

The mages and apprentices at the steel mill followed the instructions and circulated their magic power in new ways, trying to come into contact with the environmental magic that had changed its form and distribution, and to communicate with the Tree of Law.

In Rorschach's hand, a replica of the "Twin Snake Staff" and the terminal of the Tree of Law condensed. He held up the ordinary staff, and all the magic strings suddenly became clearly visible in his [Arcane Vision].

They are everywhere, and at first glance they look like a net covering the space, but if you look closely, each grid begins to overlap, as if it is an infinite fractal.

He waved his staff again, and the Tree of Law between reality and illusion extended its roots, using the entity in Rorschach's hand as an intermediary to connect to the magic strings here, causing them to vibrate regularly, and restarting all the magic arrays in the factory under the control of the staff holder.

The distraught "innocent" Pavel rode past the factory on horseback. He first felt dizzy and saw that the lights and noise of the steel plant all stopped, and then resumed at the same time in an instant.

Pavel just shook his head at the strange feeling and movement, tightened the reins again and walked forward. His mind was not on the road, and he almost hit a car.

"Sorry, sir, you shouldn't park your car in the middle of the road." Pavel reminded him kindly.

Unexpectedly, a young man came out of the car. He had an excellent appearance, but his demeanor gave people a feeling of being a little treacherous.

The young man approached the horse and bowed. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Valan, a man who may be able to help you and your companions. If you would do me the honor of speaking to you, please go to a private and safe place so that we can discuss this matter."
