Mage? Spell Engineer!

Another dense forest of caves.

Several people were leaning against trees, and some were simply lying down. Their faces were all pale, whether because of fear or blood loss.

"Stop?" Someone discovered that no more pink material fell, and the cave stopped shaking.

"I'll take the apprentice to explore the entrance of the cave. François, you maintain order here. Stop the blood circle." The cost of maintaining the circle made everyone a little weak. Nemo tiredly explained and brought his own The students set off.

The roof of the cave is riddled with holes, the ground is covered with gravel and sand, and the pink crystals visible to the naked eye are weathering and browning, turning orange-red.

After exiting the cave, the sky returned to a bright pink color, and the earth was between pink and red-orange, constantly changing. Fortunately, no more deadly crystals continued to fall.

Nemo stared at the world without moving for a long time.

"teacher?"

Nemo sighed: "Go back."

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed: "Go quickly! Go back quickly!" The apprentice was shocked. They stumbled back to the shelter where everyone was gathered. Before Francois saw Nemo, he heard his panic shouting: "Start the magic circle quickly! Start the teleportation magic circle quickly!"

When he was taking refuge, Francois created a magic circle to return to the main plane. During this period, he kept trying but failed.

"We can go back to the station and try again. Master Ina and Master Rorschach have not come back." Francois estimated that the rain of pink quartz outside had stopped, and Rorschach must have succeeded. For a moment, he did not understand what Nemo was leading the team. eager.

Nemo led the team and ran to Francois, lowering his voice this time and gritting his teeth: "Aether concentration!"

ether! The concentration of ether in the environment is dropping off a cliff!

After carefully sensing the environment, Francois's expression became ugly. When he arrived, the environmental ether was so dense that it was foggy, but now it has become so thin that it is almost the same as the main plane. High tide is followed by low tide, and this pattern also occurs in the environmental ether at this moment.

He hurriedly activated his magic power, and sure enough, there was no movement in the magic circle.

Seeing other apprentices and workers looking towards him, Nemo gathered his emotions and announced with a happy expression: "Everyone, the disaster from heaven is over! The mages Ina and Rorschach who dealt with the source of the disaster have not returned yet. Please Everyone, please take a rest here and we can go back!"

He didn't say whether he would return to the base or the main plane, but no matter what, the end of the natural disaster is good news. After experiencing an apocalyptic scene in another world, everyone was excited and cheered.

The team leader found three apprentices and ordered: "Organize everyone and divide the food brought equally so that everyone can eat to regain their strength. Remember to leave theirs for Master Rorschach and Master Ina."

Nemo knew that no matter what, he couldn't let the team wait at this time. Waiting would lead to random thoughts and doubts, fears and rumors. He had to find something to do for everyone and comfort them with food. Fortunately, Nemo brought dry food with him when he led the team, and Master Ina also brought food supplies with him.

"So what should we do now? Should we wait for Ina and Master Rorschach to come back and try together?" Francois and the team leader stood beside the teleportation array and discussed in a low voice.

Nemo felt the ether concentration again. It should have reached a low point now and no longer dropped significantly.

"According to the ten-day plan, we will take the initiative to open the teleportation array on the fifth day to report and supply supplies to the main plane. If there is no active teleportation to the main plane after three hours, we will be contacted." Nemo calculated: "The problem is now The environment is obviously not enough to support the teleportation array. Large-scale teleportation can only be achieved by the control of eight great mages on the main plane. We now only have two mid-level and two low-level mages, and the apprentices can be ignored."

"It's only the second day! In case there is another disaster, many of our apprentices are currently unwell and the workers are emotionally unstable." Francois believes that he should go back as soon as possible to report the situation here. There are still huge risks in staying here. Not wise.

"Do you think I don't want to! What I'm most worried about is that after the natural disaster, the concentration of ether will no longer rise, and we can't even think about actively opening our current abilities! No, these are all trivial things. What if the communication methods of the two planes change after the disaster? Or even break."

Before they finished speaking, Nemo and Francois both closed their mouths. They stared at the teleportation array. The lines had already aroused red light, and the space was constantly distorting and was about to be torn apart.

"The thirteenth set of experiments, the Epsilon II circuit is biased, and the input power is the same as the previous set. Start!" After Master Snow announced, the circuit was connected again.

A researcher proficient in mathematics and the Archmage Kano summarized the circuit rules of the array, compared it with other known cross-dimensional teleportation arrays, divided this array into three loop areas: a core and an inner and outer ring, and came to an important conclusion: Rings are circuits that lock onto a secondary plane.

Rather than continue to decipher the underlying principles, Carnot waved his hand and asked the experimental team to continuously try to offset each set of loops in the inner loop.

This is the thirteenth set of experiments. Kano had a premonition: "It's coming!"

The premonition was not an illusory revelation from the gods, but the master's keen awareness that the ether in the laboratory began to flow continuously in a direction, and the space began to distort.

"This is the group!" Success!

"Report, No. 3 engine failure!"

The energy fluctuated suddenly, and the researchers were a little nervous. The controller, who was afraid of burning other units, had already pressed his hand on the emergency stop lever.

"Why panic! I'm not here!" Kano manipulated the ether to replace the input of Unit 3. The input system even ran more smoothly than before. The red light continued, and the stable channel was opened!

Amid excited cheers, a tired worker stepped out of the circle first.

"Here comes someone who is good at illusion. Forget it, this is the Alchemy Department. You guys should put a bag on everyone who comes out."

The man who came out looked panicked, and the brother from the Alchemy Department patted his shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, just cooperate with the confidentiality work." After saying that, he put a paper bag on his head with the "Fanxing Purple Energy Potion".

"Help him out, take it off after exiting the gate." He greeted the intern apprentices and sent the first lucky person out of the research building.

The other people who came back did the same thing, saying that they were being helped, putting on paper bags and being in bad condition, all of them were sluggish, just like a large criminal gang being arrested and escorted.

Outside the research building, Granol and the king's representative he had found were blocked outside the door.

"This is how you treat us Masons!" Granol was still full of resentment. The apprentice smiled and responded to the master while picking up the paper bag: "Cooperate with the confidentiality work. Okay, brother, welcome back to this world!"

Workers and apprentices were sent out one by one. Cano waited for a long time until Francois came out last: "Where is Rorschach? How is my student?"

"He fought against the source of the disaster, and I think he won. Leader Nemo is still there waiting for him." Francois was extremely tired, and his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

"Okay, you go see your dad!" Cano called a paper bag and put it on Francois.
