Mage? Spell Engineer!

Chapter 467 The Last Dance

As for the creative team, it was the "Saints Squad" that has been in the limelight recently that won the first prize.

When Valentine came out to receive the award, there was a lot of cursing and crying from the audience, and finally they merged into one sentence:

"Refund!" "Refund!" "()()(), refund!"

Apprentice Jin had to grab the [Amplification] microphone: "Dear customers, we have clearly stated in the contract that no refund will be made if the service is interrupted due to force majeure. That... Force majeure just gave us an award! But the cup can still be used. If there is any quality problem, you can find us."

Rorschach stood beside the team and sneered silently-this team will be in seclusion in the secret research institute of the Vox factory for at least two months. It would be a miracle if they could be found.

Valentine still had that annoying smile, and he wanted to return the microphone: "Let me say a few words!"

The audience suddenly became quiet, and everyone chose to listen to the speech of the main creator first. This shows that Saint Valentine's reputation is still quite high.

"If it weren't for Master Rorschach's guidance, I might still be serving you now. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this bringing happiness, but for me, Vox Gas Works is a wider sea and a higher sky.

"Finally, I would like to give you a sentence from Master Rorschach: 'Young people, you must know how to be moderate. '

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

All the customers were shocked by his shamelessness. There was a brief silence at first, and then the overwhelming curses almost overturned the award ceremony. The Valentine group was the only one to be blasted off the podium by various debris and spells. Although Rorschach and other judges symbolically cast a protective spell on them, the unlucky apprentice Jin was still hit by the "guaranteed to vomit" spell and was dragged down while vomiting.

This kid is really a god! Jin had just played a trick and exposed Rorschach, the mastermind behind the interruption of the happy service, to the front of the stage. Now the living saint classmate just said a few words and focused the firepower on himself. I guess no one will remember that it was Rorschach who took action. It's really tearful.

As for why Jin was not protected, it was purely an accident. Rorschach watched him being dragged away from the venue like a dog that had eaten ten pounds of chocolate.

Among the three special prize teams, "Guaranteed to Make You Vomit to Death" was mass-produced in the form of scrolls, making a huge contribution to the security of the Lanster-Kempson District of the Kingdom of Bain. The fermentation tank was naturally applied to the food factory, and the Vox Gas Car Factory absorbed the Valentine team and the Ice and Fire Engine.

Especially the Ice and Fire Engine, which will be used as the power for the rails in Bain. Due to the steel orders from the Empire, Rorschach has obtained some technical standards of the Empire Railway, such as the strength and spacing of the tracks, as well as the capacity of the Empire's standard locomotive.

Rorschach does not need to get the drawings of the Empire train. Now the "Ice and Fire Engine" is a better choice. It will be carried on the Bain train as power. In this way, there are more transmutation dust collectors that need to be built to provide power energy for the vehicles and constructs that will be mass-produced next.

There are also many designs that have practical value, which need to be sorted and archived one by one, and then evaluated and connected by the factory. The organizing committee also deliberately selected some works that were not technically sensitive and published them in the newspaper after obtaining the team's consent.

For the first time, the people of Byrne, who have always been paying attention to the design competition, learned what the wizards are doing, what they have made, and what changes will be made to their lives in the future. Although people in the special zone have become accustomed to it, it is a novel experience for other places and the Tower of Secret Magic.

People's impression of spellcasters is no longer just the receptionist's sour face, the guild where everything is frighteningly expensive, the terrifying wizard tower, and the weird and unconventional people. Oh, Bart and his resident wizard tower are exceptions.

At the internal summary meeting, Caroline was not very satisfied with the result: "The time is too tight. In less than a month, many people have just started to get started with the system of spell strings. If the competition schedule is extended to three months, the completion of the work will be much better."

"If we can make most people accept the 'Spell Cloud', our goal has been achieved. Other achievements and impacts are unexpected surprises. Three months of time will not wait for anyone."

There are three major events that are about to happen and have a significant impact on the special zone.

First of all, summer grain. The harvest time of spring wheat is in mid-to-late July, which is still a few days away. At this time, the Special District will carry out the statistical inventory of the fields, and then put the construct harvester into use. It is estimated that the Forest Tower will also come - they want to verify the effect of the artificial fertilizer made by Rorschach.

Taking grain from farmers is not an easy job. Even if it is legally justified to settle the equipment, fertilizer payments, and taxes of the Special District, collecting grain will cause big problems if you are not careful. No matter how noble and perfect the law or contract is, food is life, and survival is the natural law of farmers.

The second is to fulfill the agreement between the Special District and the Royal Family of Byrne. According to the requirements, they must deliver to the kingdom twice as much grain as in previous years in order to maintain the status of the Special District in law. But the population in the Special District is extremely large, and Rorschach is unwilling to pay grain.

In the past, redemption with money was feasible. Many free cities and free states paid a sum of money to the monarch to redeem their autonomy. Unfortunately, they are still in the war at this time, and the royal family may bite the bullet and ask for grain. There is another factor. The "June Financial Crisis" hit the kingdom hard, and some people who are curious couldn't help but investigate where the Special Administrative Region got so much money.

Then the king and Prince Otto: What the hell?

If they were still mentally normal, they would have to find a way to "cut down the vassal" at this time. As for Rorschach and the Tower of Mysticism taking a step back and jointly building "Vox" with the upper echelons of the kingdom, it was a slap in the face and then a sweet date.

But who dares to play with the royal family like this? Oh, the other two parties are wizards, so if there is food, then eat it. But while eating, the royal family rubbed their faces and muttered: The Empire didn't do this to me.

Rorschach guessed that the other party would make a fuss about the grain delivery and make trouble for the special zone. He kept tapping the table with his fingers, making a clattering sound: "Is it to be overturned, or not?"

There is also a very important event that can affect the entire continent - the small constituency reform will affect Rorschach's actions.

Logically speaking, the parliamentary election should be suspended as a special case during wartime, but the prime minister still pushed it through, and the war itself entered a slightly stable stalemate stage. Both countries were breathing and holding back big moves.

Their strategic actions will also be carried out around the collection of summer grain. At the same time, the Empire will also force the small constituency reform. If successful, it can be expected that it will achieve its own complete integration for the first time, and institutionally dissolve the feudal system that has survived in the old empire to this day.

If there is no war with Valois, to achieve this goal, the empire may only have civil war. Therefore, regardless of the temporary defeat on the battlefield of Valois, the prime minister insisted on carrying it out and completing it during his tenure and during the war with Valois.

This will be his last dance. The unified empire is the precious legacy of the prime minister and His Majesty to the next emperor.
