Mage? Spell Engineer!

Is this your goal, Rorschach?

Feuerbach frowned. He didn't have much opinion on the competition itself, but Rorschach's operation of forcing non-casters to form a team was too deliberate and excessive.

The young wizard who is now hosting the competition is a naked inducement. For any contestant, as long as they produce a work, they will win and make a lot of money. But no matter whether it is done with money or not, many things will develop unstoppably once they start.

The Tower of Secrets deliberately maintains an atmosphere of "rolling", insists on selecting the best from the best, and will eliminate them invisibly-no longer care about those who fall behind, let them give up on their own. Now Rorschach is forcing these people to cooperate and roll, not only between apprentices, but also between apprentices and ordinary people.

This is the case with the popularization of "Spell Cloud", and the communication between apprentices and ordinary people who have received higher education.

With this, it doesn't matter whether the headquarters of the Tower of Secrets offers a "Spell Cloud" course.

Then he thought of the scene when they first met, and recalled his own speech: "It is obvious that all equal intelligent beings jointly created order, especially symbolic order, but this god stole the power for himself and shamelessly declared himself the 'Lord of Order'. Only we can take back the power given to us by the Creator!"

"." The master was silent at first, then stood up suddenly.

He was about to announce the decision, but unfortunately Feuerbach disappointed the expectant mages as soon as he opened his mouth: "No, the apprentices of the Arcane Tower can participate. This is part of our agreement with Master Rorschach."

Kano was very tolerant most of the time, and was elected as the chief of the Starry Tower because of his good persona. It was not until last year that he showed his fangs to the nobles. In the Arcane Tower, Feuerbach always said what he meant.

The gloomy meeting room suddenly became quiet, and only the gargoyles flapping their wings could be heard serving tea and water. It was a relatively young wizard who broke the awkwardness and gave himself a way out: "Well, at least that Rorschach wizard didn't treat us badly."

Of course, the money can't be given only to apprentices, but the main focus is still on those in the positions. In addition to giving a hand to the bank, Rorschach also stuffed a lot of things in the name of joint training and inviting professors to be judges of the competition, such as the mithril that is now hard to buy on the market in Byrne, the transmutation dust with reduced research value but very useful, and the simplest and crudest money.

Feuerbach's second decision was even more surprising: "Remove the illusion shrouded by the Arcane Tower."

This means that the Arcane Tower will return to the sight of ordinary people. The master stated his reasons: "Look at how lively it is at the foot of our mountain. We must admit that it is no longer a small mountain village. Everyone knows our location. There is no need to deceive ourselves. The existence of the Red Dragon Seal prevents us from changing the time and space where the Mage Tower is located. In this case, let them watch it."

"That may be a safety issue"

"For ordinary people, gargoyles can be dealt with. What do we have to be afraid of? Are you afraid of ordinary people, huh? Or are you worried that you can't protect your students? Fortunately, a large number of them have gone to other Mage Towers."

The mage who was questioned was speechless: "No, Chief, that's not what I meant."

"That's it, let's adjourn."

Rorschach didn't know or care about the internal meeting of the Secret Tower. He only knew that his plan was progressing smoothly.

The design competition was divided into three groups according to the requirements: Destruction Group, Creative Group and Application Group.

The first track is to pursue power. It can be against people or objects. It requires combining a series of magic with sufficient power within the limitations of the "spell string" itself.

For safety reasons, even if the contestants have to sign the organizer's disclaimer, Rorschach still "kindly" requires the contestants to verify their design ideas under the guidance of a teacher.

This group is an advantage project for apprentices staying in the Secret Tower. There are more teachers who can supervise them than Rorschach's personal magic tower, and those who are willing to stay are generally so-called "top students" who have mastered more spells and higher levels.

The application group has the simplest requirements in magic, but the requirements are more complicated - you need to give the judges a good-looking idea to prove that the spell string developed by the team has practical uses and verify its feasibility, including application in machinery and alchemical objects.

This group is the comfort zone of apprentices who go to Rorschach's magic tower. The spells they master are generally low-level, but they can join forces with interns who have been working in the factory for two months (and voluntarily extended their internship or found employment in advance).

If the spell string is to be applied to physical objects, it is also necessary to draw drawings that meet technical standards, write feasibility reports and design specifications.

Then the magic apprentices will find that the cows and horses who enter the factory can already write these formulas, and they have a familiar strange smell like the "Technical Manual" in their hands.

It is the unique dog smell of engineering dogs, and the apprentices are gradually assimilated.

As for the creative group, it is to give contestants who cannot be divided into the first two groups an option to participate. Rorschach did not expect that this "creative group" almost killed him.

Halfway through the race, a strange thing suddenly appeared and began to circulate among male apprentices and college students with "blood agitation" in the special zone.

"Is it authentic?" The buyer found the dealer through an acquaintance.

"Guaranteed authenticity, refund if not satisfied." The dealer took out a cup from the storage ring. It is the shape of a cup, but the inner wall is soft and narrow, and the product name is "Magic Cup". The teenagers who used it to solve the blood surge praised it as "really magical".

"How do I use it?"

The dealer made a strange request: "Hey, can you cast a spell?"

"Of course, I'm from the Tower of Secrets."

"Who isn't? If you can cast spells, you can save money on materials. Listen, the 'magic cup' can be used normally, but after nine o'clock in the evening, inject magic into the hand holding it, and then close your eyes."

"Will there be illusions?"

"Yes, yours is a high-end version, with pictures and sounds."

The above is a scene between students. After nine o'clock in the evening, in a special place in the old city that provides exclusive services, several thin young men are selling "magic stickers" with runes painted on them that are overflowing with subtle pink light: "Just stick it on your forehead, and you can at least double the time, understand?"

"Is it really useful?" The new customer expressed doubts, and the old customer who had already verified it immediately proved that it was indeed effective.

At the same time, Rorschach finished his work at night and decided to invest his spirit into the border to observe the situation of the Tree of Law.

The Tree of Law is growing well. Strangely, there is now a cluster of branches that are always flashing light, almost the brightest, and Rorschach can confirm that all the computing cores are working with his connection with the tower spirit.

Hmm? What's going on? This link is under high load

Rorschach unravels the chain, checking the spells corresponding to the active branches one by one. "The [Indifference] that takes effect at a fixed time, but it is very weak, as if it is activated by a scroll, but there are many signals [Communication], which is the most active and has the largest load, and the descriptor is very strange, it keeps changing. The last one is [Advanced Illusion]?

"What the hell?"

The third-ring [Indifference] of the Enchantment Department extracts the strongest emotions and suppresses the impulse of the target of the spell.

The third-ring [Advanced Illusion] of the Illusion Department creates a real illusion.

These three spells that can't be put together are actually flashing together, which means that they may be in a spell chain and have been activated multiple times. Rorschach's interest increased greatly. If this is true, being able to integrate two third-level spells, [Indifference] and [Advanced Illusion], may be the work of an intermediate wizard.

"Let me see." Rorschach directly kneaded out the magic prototype of [Advanced Illusion], and then talked to the Law of the Law. The trees flickered in unison.

Damn it!

Rorschach immediately plunged into an illusion that seriously violated public order and morality. Not only were there images, but there were also very real sounds and touches. After a while, the illusion changed again. The theme did not change, but the actors in the illusion changed.

He quickly broke free from the illusion through a will test.

Is this a live broadcast? I seem to have achieved synaesthesia of vision, hearing, touch and speed with the outputter. Is the spell string given to those people for this? Rorschach returned to reality with a dark face. He wanted to find the participating team that developed this spell string. No, it was an illegal H gang!
