Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 614 This is really possible
Rorschach and Humboldt were both very busy men and had not had time to relax for a long time. Now they could finally take a break and shift and narrow their attention from the common fate of all intelligent creatures to a pot of cheese.

"This mushroom is ready. You can try it."

"Oh, thank you."

"It's a little burnt out. Let me add some wine."

There were four people eating, and only Libus was a lady. The other three were all gentlemanly and took good care of her. In fact, the other three didn't need much food. They just occasionally let their mouths chew something and have a taste. Most of the time, they drank, talked about things, and served hot pot. Libus became the only one to be served.

"It's so cold." The woman who was the most powerful in the world shrank her neck. Because the pot was precisely heated by Richard, there was no more heat to bake the people eating, and now the cold wind was getting stronger and stronger. Even if it couldn't pour into the car in large quantities, it was still taking away the warmth.

Rorschach snapped his fingers upon hearing this, and the cold air immediately disappeared.

Because she was feeling cold, Libus noticed the unusual scene outside the window. Heavy snow was rapidly passing by the window, and then fog covered her vision.

She blurted out a vulgar remark that was not in line with the upbringing of a lady or an aristocrat: "Damn it, it's snow!"

The other three diners were resistant to cold and were not aware of the abnormal weather while drinking and chatting. However, it was only after Billy Booth came that they realized the abnormal weather.

Rorschach asked, "Where are we?"

Richard estimated: "Six hours have passed. We have traveled half of the distance. However, this route goes due north first, then turns east, so we have reached the northern border of the empire."

But this is the end of spring and the summer solstice, and the biting cold and snow in May are really "hellish".

"Perhaps it's because the First Flame has gone out." Master Humboldt came up with the most likely answer: "In the past, the First Flame Tower has been using the heat emitted by the fire to regulate the climate in the area where it is located.

"Although it did not change the frigid environment in the north, it actually blocked the cold current from the permafrost sea further north. With the existence of the First Fire and the active geothermal clusters distributed horizontally, the Firewood Carriers created an invisible barrier to prevent the northern part of the empire from falling into extreme cold."

"So the magic tower can also regulate the climate!" Libus was surprised, and then felt regretful: "But I just realized it now. Maybe other people in the empire don't know the contribution of the First Fire Tower."

Speaking of this, Humboldt said with some regret: "No, those lords and emperors should at least have heard of it. This was one of the agreements between the Empire and the Senate in the past.

“Just like our Forest Tower will help the Empire with agricultural work, the First Flame Tower and the Mystic Tower within the Empire will also assume certain obligations. This is the reason why the guild can exist in the Empire and why guild members have been given privileges in the past.

"The agreement can be traced back to the period of history when the peasants and small lords of the empire drove out the church. However, in modern times, both sides have gradually downplayed the existence of these agreements, and the empire has deliberately concealed the details of these history from the people.

"Moreover, under the instructions of successive emperors and other ministers, the mouthpieces of the empire have been tirelessly inciting the people's dissatisfaction with us and the southern territories."

"But this cold wave is too exaggerated." Rorschach didn't think that the sudden blizzard outside the car was naturally generated, although he did not sense any traces of divine arts or magic in the environment.

"It is indeed abnormal." Humboldt also admitted: "We can only see the results now. Perhaps if we continue to go north, we can find the root cause of climate change. I will notify the Storm Tower."

Richard stood up when Humboldt spoke. The general, the chief wizard of the empire, and the incoming lord realized that he had not performed his duties well for some time. He sensed the situation of the entire car, and sure enough, except for the car he was in, the temperature of other places was dropping sharply.

At this time, his adjutant was giving orders in a hurry: "Have the boiler in the front of the train make some hot water for them to drink. Gather the soldiers together so that they can keep warm. Have the driver slow down."

After giving the initial order, he prepared to rush to Richard's carriage. When he first broke into the carriage, he and the guards were planted with the psychological suggestion of not disturbing the superior by Rorschach. Now the suggestion is invalid, and the coercion of the situation now overwhelms the subtle interference. However, Richard has sensed the movements of his subordinates and took the initiative to come out.

He cast a spell on the spot, and a slightly hot wind wall condensed and swung out from in front of Richard. The wind wall was extremely fast, and when it was about to hit the connecting gate, the carriage door opened at the sound of the wind, and the temperature of the space whizzing past instantly rose back up.

He turned and cast the spell in the other direction, ensuring that the entire train was warm.

The adjutant was surprised and delighted: "Sir, you can cast spells!"

"Well, it looks like we've left the empire's forbidden magic area." Richard said casually. In fact, this place is still within the range of the magic network.

He quickened his pace and moved to other carriages. He heard someone leading the way shouting, "Turn around! Drive back, or we'll get off!" "Get off!"

When Richard appeared, the commotion among the soldiers subsided immediately. He remembered the person who started the commotion, but did not deal with him on the spot. He just comforted him, "We have arrived at the northern end of the empire and happened to run into a cold wave. Don't worry, I will maintain the temperature inside the car."

Richard personally inspected all the carriages, and the other passengers who had recovered from the severe cold were completely relieved.

He looked out the window again, and it seemed that there was a blue light beyond the fog. Richard, who was maintaining the temperature, felt his stress relieved a lot.

The familiar barrier was, of course, Rorschach's help, and now the entire vehicle was shielded from the wind and snow.

"We have another truck behind us with the first batch of supplies, right?"

"Yes."

"We communicated with the vehicles behind us and asked them to slow down and maintain a safe speed. We waited for the trucks at the next stop and distributed some clothes and blankets prepared for the winter in advance, as well as more food.

"Inform the next batch of relocated citizens and the Imperial Army of the abnormal weather we are encountering and ask them to prepare more cold-resistant supplies. If the safety of the journey cannot be guaranteed, ask His Majesty the Emperor to postpone the entire plan."

"Understood." After the adjutant wrote down Richard's deployment, he saluted and immediately began to execute it.

After dealing with these, Richard returned to his compartment and nodded to Libus who was waiting for him: "It has been dealt with."

Libus felt the warmth and sighed with satisfaction, "Magic is so convenient. It would be great if I could cast a spell on the outside world, just like you are doing now, with a gust of wind to solve the bad weather."

"How can it be."

Not only did Richard deny it, Humboldt also shook his head: "This will be a huge project, and the prerequisite is to find and solve the source of the abnormal cold current."

"Well it's possible actually."

Ancient sages had shown Rorschach the power to change the world. Inheriting the skills and memories of the ancient sages, plus his current strength, Rorschach was confident that he might be able to give it a try and reproduce the super-level magic that was almost miraculous.
