Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 617 Early Preparation
The brief experiment proved the feasibility and made Rorschach think more.

First of all, he had a new understanding of the effectiveness of the anti-magic device. In the past, he and almost all mages only considered it from the perspective of magic disorder and obstruction of spellcasting.

This theory is not enough to fully explain why it can also powerfully interrupt the direct power projection of gods, not just divine spells.

Now he could come up with a deeper explanation. From the perspective of the "real world-symbolic world, with magic as the medium at the boundary" model, a one-time anti-magic device would set off a tsunami of magic, which would not only disrupt the specific magic frequency required for spellcasting and divine arts, but would also temporarily separate the real world and the symbolic world in opposite directions.

The degree of this separation cannot be measured in terms of space, but it happens, and the result is the successful isolation of the gods from exerting their influence on reality.

Long-term magic-blocking devices are like expansion screws or welding points. They also cause the separation of the two realms, but the effect is definitely not as strong as instant release. The more important mechanism of action is to make the symbolic and real worlds enter a steady state within the scope of its influence, so that reality cannot be modified from the symbolic side.

If the device is properly arranged, a large area can obtain a stable static structure, thus producing a "whole piece welded dead" effect, which is the dead magic zone.

Another feeling is to re-evaluate the power of ancient sages.

Rorschach established a connection with the symbolic world by relying on the special nature of the Tree of Law. Other spellcasters can leave traces in the original world by creating new spells, studying and using magic continuously, and gain the opportunity to use super-level magic.

At the beginning, the Master of Necromancer also used a trick just like Rorschach. In fact, he borrowed the power of the Mother Goddess.

In contrast, there has never been a wizard like Rorschach who has completely relied on himself to break through limits and spread his will throughout the world for hundreds of years.

It is also quite incredible that he was able to leave his remaining soul and knowledge in the shadow land after his death.

"Let's go. I need to rest and summarize my experience. Tomorrow we will officially transform the climate here."

"Okay." Humboldt nodded first and then shook his head: "The Senate should have received reports of extreme weather by now. I wonder if they have launched an investigation."

"Since the source is not here, I will prioritize stabilizing the climate of the earldom so that Richard's inauguration can proceed smoothly and prevent more residents in the south from being affected."

"Of course, leave the investigation to me and other masters."

After the discussion, the two returned to the city and joined the banquet prepared for Richard by local dignitaries.

The natural disaster had not damaged the spices and wines in the luxurious house, and even salads made from fresh vegetables, grilled food and stews made from fresh meat and fish could be seen. Richard no longer needed to cast spells, and the manor where the banquet was held was filled with warm stoves, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

However, the new lord, who was playing with the wine glass at this time, did not intend to accept the host's kindness. When Rorschach and Humboldt sensed his location and teleported into the manor, Richard was planning the drama of giving up power over a glass of wine.

When the portal opened, the dancers and singers screamed in surprise, and the "adults" did not panic, but began to look for weapons and shelters. When the young and middle-aged people walked out of the portal, only Richard smiled as he held the wine.

"Everyone, everyone, please be at ease, these two are distinguished guests of the territory."

Those fat and big-eared guys cautiously poked their heads out from behind the tables, chairs and guards to confirm that the newcomers were not hostile.

When they heard that two great wizards were coming, they immediately put on flattering smiles and warmly welcomed Rorschach and Humboldt to the banquet. Rorschach took the wine glass handed over by Richard, skillfully said a series of toasts, apologized a few times, and drank the wine.

Richard asked the waiter to pour Rorschach a second glass and asked, "I apologize for the poor hospitality you two have shown me in my territory. However, as part of my duty, I still want to ask you what you can do for me."

Everyone else at the banquet pricked up their ears to listen; they also wanted to know the answer to the question. It was said that powerful spellcasters always had strange tempers, so it was great that the new Earl could ask the question for them.

Rorschach not only received what Richard said, but also received the other party's private words through [Communication]. He immediately began to explain that he and Master Humboldt of the Forest Tower noticed the abnormal climate and came here to solve it.

Not only that, he also came to investigate on behalf of the Special District of Byrne, and asked if he was willing to invest in the earldom, import technology and sign a trade agreement.

Everyone who heard this was excited. It would be great if the mage could intervene and end the catastrophe, and the things that followed sounded very profitable. The nobles and gentry raised their glasses and wanted to toast Rorschach and Humboldt:

"With these two masters, we don't have to worry about this year's snowstorm!"

However, upon hearing this flattery, Rorschach became furious as if his tail had been stepped on: "Who said that? Who said that?"

The drunken questioning immediately interrupted the joy of the banquet. Rorschach found the little scapegoat who said the last sentence. He glared at him and almost used [Mage's Hand] to lift him into the air:
"Not to be feared? That's easy to say. Who are you?"

"Please calm down, sir. I am Aymeric, the captain of the defense team here."

"Defense team? Okay, let me ask you, how many families were killed in the snowstorm? Was there any rescue organized? There are mountains and forests not far away. Did any wild animals lose their food in the snow and break into villages and towns? As a captain, why are you still here leisurely eating delicious food and drinking fine wine?"

"I am a humble servant. I am here to welcome the Lord and arrange security for the banquet."

"Richard is also a high-level spellcaster. Does he need your protection? You should protect the people of your lordship. Have you done so?"

Captain Aymeric was speechless. He just nodded and shook his head, and finally lowered his head.

The consul felt that he could not be bullied by outsiders, so he said, "The Lord's coming here was expected long ago, so we set up a banquet in advance to wait for His arrival.
The summer snowstorm happened suddenly. We are all ordinary people. It is natural that we were caught off guard and helpless. Master, please don't make things difficult for Aymeric. I beg you and another master to stop the disaster. Our entire earldom will be grateful."

"Is it enough to stop the disaster? Now the crops are about to be frozen to death. Do you have any contingency plans?" Rorschach did not go down the stairs, but instead launched into a barrage of attacks, his voice getting louder and louder.

Finally, he waved the bottle and shouted, "Rick, Rick, why are all your subordinates these people? I say, every one of them should be kicked out of their positions. None of those nobles are responsible, and all their territories should be taken back.

"Otherwise, I won't let Byrne invest a penny here. How can we build a good territory with this bunch of good-for-nothings?"

The faces of those who were hit by AOE became more and more ugly. They all looked at Richard, waiting for the lord to express his opinion.
