Mage? Spell Engineer!

Richard said sorry, like a forgetful old man, although in Alek's eyes, the earl was only in his forties or fifties, so when he heard the earl joke, "Vog is similar to my nephew." It felt very strange.

The Earl secretly used forbidden magic to discharge the residents affected by this disaster from the hospital early. Alek couldn't understand why such a good magic was listed as a forbidden matter, and he couldn't understand why the count could use it without any problems.

Alek's life has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days, just like in the territory.

Frequent invasions of monsters and earthquakes seem to herald the coming of disaster, and astral guys almost no longer come down from the sky, which proves that the situation is not optimistic. Panic began to spread, but some stubborn people chose to persevere.

For a time, prices were chaotic and soaring, and some scum took the opportunity to commit crimes. It was said that there were also cultists who were secretly operating. Police sirens could be heard on the streets almost every day and night, from far to near, and then from near to far.

Fortunately, the residents of the border territory are tenacious after all. They have been holding on to the northern frontier of the empire for decades, and have gradually developed from a small town on the early snowfields to today's scale. It can even be said to be the largest city in the main plane. .

Therefore, after the panic, there was still order. Alek and Vog arrived at the airport again, but this time they came to the ladder terminal.

Under the tall arches, you can see the intricate circuits, and every cable on the base is extremely thick. This is the lifeline of the territory. Every once in a while, supplies from the sky are transmitted here through the ladder system.

But this time, three huge starships were parked in front of the ladder ring. There was no snow in the huge dock. Ground crews were coming and going, cargo was being carried, and more people were queuing to board the ships.

The starship is so huge that the two walk into its shadow. Walker was very frightened. He really had nothing for Alek to bring, not even a change of clothes, so he relied on the earldom for relief. Finally, the dwarf took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Take it, they are all alliance coins, they can also be used in the sky."

"You keep it"

"Why should I keep it? Let me tell you, the boss has found a good customer for that jug, and I will make a lot of money. Don't mind my business."

The two argued for a while, but Alek accepted the money even after the staff impatiently urged him. He walked step by step towards the huge hatch, and finally couldn't help but look back: "I'm leaving, Dad, you Take care."

It was the first time that Vog heard Alek calling him "Dad". He froze on the spot and watched the hatch close in a daze.

"Personnel and vehicles on the ground please evacuate in time and evacuate to a safe area.

“The ladder system is ready;

"The 'First Fire Seed' starship engine has entered a hot engine state and is operating normally.

"Ready to launch."

A countdown sounded in everyone's ears. Alek had already arrived at the cabin, surrounded by teenagers about the same age as him. They were crowded in the cabin with no windows after the cargo hold was modified, waiting for the launch in secluded and fearful conditions.

What if the launch fails and explodes? Not only Alek, but many people who flew on an interstellar spacecraft for the first time had this kind of fear, and then silently fermented it.

The shaking became more and more violent, and they were horrified to see a light curtain penetrate the cross-section of the starship and push towards them. In order to avoid the light curtain, they even stampeded, completely unable to hear the announcement telling passengers not to panic or move around.

Fortunately, the light curtain advances extremely fast, and it is actually the starship that is teleporting. Alek walked blankly waiting for a similar light curtain several times, and suddenly found that his body was getting lighter and lighter.

Their personal belongings and bits and pieces of jewelry were all packed up by the staff, not to mention that Alek had none of these. He floated alone. A little excitement made him try to move his limbs and explore what it was like to feel weightless. .

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the gravity trap to come online, and they landed slowly under the protection of the stasis field.

Next, the radio stopped ringing, and there was only occasional acceleration. Some people in the warehouse started talking to each other and looking for people they knew. Alek didn't want to do this and had no desire to communicate. He just waited quietly in the boring journey.

"Who is Alek from Dalburg?" The door suddenly opened, and a man who looked like a mage asked inside.

"I am." Alek felt that all eyes were focused on him instantly. The others made a way for him and asked the mage to lead him out of the cabin.

They turned around in the passage, Alek didn't know how long he had been walking, and finally came to the rear of the starship. What surprised him was that there was actually a medium-sized aircraft parked in the starship, as high as a three-story building.

Standing outside the cabin door was the Lord, Richard Dahlberg.

"Alek, you will go directly to the Magic Tower to study, you don't have to go with others. And I happen to be seeing Jonas off too."

"He is."

"He is my only son, one year younger than you."

Alek has a lot of problems. The earldom has been established for more than sixty years, but the earl still looks very young, and his only son is actually younger than himself! He felt completely incomprehensible and it was difficult to ask.

After boarding the Count's exclusive car, Alek's travel conditions were greatly improved. Richard introduced the boy to his wife, and then took him to the living room with portholes on the top floor of the spacecraft. Jonas sat on the sofa there. He was lukewarm to him. After saying hello, he read quietly.

Richard stayed for a while, waiting for the spaceship to detach from the starship. At this time, outside the window was a giant building floating in the air. It was extremely busy here, with various aircraft taking off and landing, passing by. In addition to streamlined ships, there were even large oak ships imitating sails docked in the starport.

"This is the 'Kepler' space station, formerly the first observatory in history, and now it is the largest interstellar port. Almost all ships from all planes have to dock here.

"It is also the location of the Magic Guild."

"Magic Guild?"

"Yes, it is the organization that tested your magic talent when you were in elementary school. "

Alec had some vague impressions, which were bad memories. He didn't have enough magic talent, and he was sad for a long time.

Suddenly, a huge ship appeared. No, it was an extremely huge and shining tree! Alec stared at the giant tree floating in the star world, first revealing its crown and branches, and then the thick main stem. He tried to imagine that if this tree stood on the ground, it should be much more majestic than the tower of Dalburg Airport.

"Jonas, this is the 'Breath of Nature' I told you about! The main ship of the Forest Tower!" Richard called his son and asked him to stop reading. Alec was reluctant to look away. He heard an awkward "oh" and the sound of a book snapping shut.

He suddenly thought of a question: "Do you mean that I should go directly to the Magic Tower to study? Like the Magic Tower like the Forest Tower?"

"Yes." Richard explained: "You and Jonas will enroll together. The thirteen most important members of the Magic Guild are the Source Water Tower, the Atmosphere Tower, and the Earth Tower;

"Storm Tower, Thunderstorm Tower, Forest Tower;

"Sky Tower, Time Tower, Starry Tower;

"Light Tower, Dark Tower, Mystic Tower."

"You only said twelve, father."

"That's right, none of the above is our destination. You will be enrolled in the thirteenth and best tower, the Tower of All Arts. It was created by the great wizard Rorschach in Byrne."

"Sorry to interrupt you, sir." Alec was pale and sweat was dripping from his forehead: "There must be something wrong. The results of my magic talent test when I was a child were very clear. I have no magic talent."

Of course he couldn't enter the magic tower and become an apprentice or a wizard, let alone go to the magic tower that is said to be the best in the world. What will happen to me? Will the count be so angry that he exiles him to some difficult plane?

Alec was wrong. Richard just smiled and said, "I know. That's why you can only go to Rorschach's magic tower. Jonas is just like you. He is a child without magical abilities."
