Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Gasid Yaz, you have to take care of yourself while I'm away."

"Gah!"

In addition to the garden maze, Stella's garden also has an artificial lake and lawn. There are geese and ducks in the lake. Rorschach tied a small silk scarf on Gested and let him live in the lake with other ducks.

I hope ducks don’t engage in regional discrimination like people do

As he was about to leave, Rorschach's ring was also cleaned up. In addition to the fixed coins and books, it also contained oscillating quartz sand and sugar. Today's sugar and white sand are generally very expensive. Only the alchemy department will use a small amount when refining medicine. It is easier to buy pieces of brown sugar.

Rorschach followed Kano to the outskirts by car. A huge tent had been set up in the open space next to the farmland, which made people suspect that it was a circus. Many carriages were parked around the tent, and there were workers expanding the road. The air smelled of cow and horse manure.

"The place here is still a bit messy, let's go in quickly." The huge tent is much better. Except for the many material packages piled on the edges, the high platform in the center occupies the largest area.

"How did you find out then?"

"This is Master Rorschach, hello." A capable young man came over. He was not wearing a loose robe, but a hunting suit: "I am Francois, the second-level mage. As the son of the discoverer, Let me answer your questions."

He led Rorschach and Kano onto the high platform. The carved magic circle almost filled the table, and the magic circle was flowing with molten gold-like metallic liquid. “Last winter, a farmer reported to the lord that his well suddenly dried up. He said that the well had been there since his grandfather was a child and had never dried up.

After being introduced by the lord, the farmers approached the Masons, a branch of the guild, hoping to dig a new well. My father was surprised that the ancient well was dry, so he went to investigate and found a magic circuit at the bottom of the well. "

Francois pointed at the magic circle: "Yes, it is this magic circle. It absorbed the underground water and was activated somehow. After experiments by my father and other masters, we built a larger magic circle at the same location. , successfully traveled to a new dimension."

"Your father, Archmage Granor, is also very courageous," Kano took over: "Secondary planes are often not suitable for human survival. At that time, your father left the location of this place and passed it on."

The young man in hunting clothes smiled even brighter: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are strong and courageous. His Majesty the King received our father and son the day before yesterday. He praised and encouraged us to continue exploring the plane."

Rorschach noticed that Kano's expression was somewhat unnatural while nodding. The three of them stood on the stage for a while and were immediately called off.

"We have a new kid here to replace Master Kano." The leader in the same hunting attire has strong muscles, broad shoulders and thick limbs. This man named Nemo has sharp eyes, constantly observing and imagining potential dangers.

He gathered all the apprentices and mages who were going to enter the secondary plane, and warned them about things to pay attention to.

"Everyone, if you don't have a card in your hand, come and get it! This is your life card! If you don't want to get lost and find it, you will starve to death in the desert."

The leader, Nemo, tied a hand sign on Rorschach's left hand with his own hands. The goat leather strap tightened the wrist tightly, fixing the brass disc like a dial. Apparently it has magic on it that can track the wearer's location.

"gone."

Including Kano, the eight great mages were spread out around the circle, extending their right palms. The drums were played and the horns were blown. Taking this as a signal, the eight mages injected magic power into the magic circle.

The liquid metal in the magic circle boiled, and Luo Xia clearly felt that all the ether around him was mobilized by the archmage, rushing towards the magic circle.

These archmages cast spells together, and the magic power fluctuated more violently than in Antorilla's square... Rorschach secretly compared in his mind

"Just step on it." The leader tightened the package on his back and jumped into the formation. Rorschach followed suit, as if stepping on something soft, his body was lifted up by the concentrated magic power, and a red light bloomed in his field of vision.

red.

After a while, this piece of red became different:

Above, there is a constantly changing sky, with uneven pink colors surging in disorder. There are no celestial bodies, only a vast pale red atmosphere.

Below, the vast expanse of land continues to extend, the red-orange desert exposes ravines, and there is no trace of life.

Empty and dead, if one wanted to paint an image of this land, he would only need one color. It is not difficult to imagine that if he were alone, he would be enveloped in this red sand and loneliness.

Rorschach and the other members of the advance team were standing on the high point of the wasteland. Under their feet was a larger magic circle than when they came. It was only carved on the red earth without flowing metallic liquid.

This space is dry and the temperature is pleasant, but all the mages present feel "scorching". It's not the heat of the atmosphere, it's the rich and restless ether.

"The ether here is so rich that the magic circle can be activated without consuming diversion fluid."

The magic circles and scrolls in the main world require media that can carry ether to outline the magic circuit, such as liquid metal, ink mixed with crystal powder and other special minerals.

But not needed here. Rorschach tried using [Magic Drive] and could feel the thick and sticky ether induced by it.

"Let's leave the circle as soon as possible. The next batch of personnel and supplies will be delivered."

The magic circle lit up again, and workers and material packages were teleported over. Everyone felt magical about the teleportation experience, and the first thing some people did was to confirm whether they were missing any arms or legs.

"Okay! Everyone has called, and once everyone has done so, start setting up the station!" Leader Nemo began to organize everyone.

One team of workers dug holes in the lower ground, while another team set up woolen tents. Apprentices also helped pitch the tents.

The mage has other important tasks.

"Masters, first we need to erect a clock tower. It will become a symbol of our station and tell us the time. There are no celestial bodies in this plane, and there is no distinction between day and night. We can only rely on mechanical clocks to tell us the time."

Due to limited transmission capacity, large construction machinery cannot be brought in except for supplies. This is when you have to rely on the power of magic.

Rorschach used the unicorn-like [Mage's Hand] to stand up the wood and insert it into the hole, while Francois used a very interesting spell [Activated Rope]:

Under his control, the rope twisted crookedly and was tied to the wood in the center and the wooden pins inserted into the ground at the four corners, becoming the cables that fixed the central pillar.

The workers couldn't help but watch the wizards casting spells, and when the mechanical clock was hung on the pillar, they couldn't help but applaud.

Another group of mages didn't fare so well. The task of the team leader Nemo and the mid-level mage Ina is to use [Water Making Technique] to fill the reservoir. Of course, it is not just the two of them, but also the apprentice who knows this spell. There is some drinking water in the supplies, but it is not enough for dozens of people.

"It's useless." Ina tried to cast a spell again. The subtle feeling that called for the blue in the past showed no sign of appearing in this plane. It was always a dry earth, as if rejecting the existence of life.

Do we need to stop early and return to the main plane? Just as Nemo was weighing his plan, he heard Master Rorschach's voice:

"Do you want to make water? Let me try."
