Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Father!" Alek could hear the resentment in Jonas's voice.

"This is a fact, we must admit it. Magical talent cannot be inherited stably, which is a common rule that people have long recognized. Even if your mother and I are special, you will not be born a powerful spellcaster."

Jonas curled his lips and sat back on the sofa and stopped talking.

Alek smiled awkwardly. He was a little envious that father and son could interact like this. He wanted to write to Vog at this moment.

Richard continued to say to Alek: "You should be assigned to the same period for this enrollment. Alek, I think you are very calm. Can you please take care of Jonas? The most important thing is, don't let He was revealed to be my child in the Magic Tower."

"I can do my best to do as you say, but why?"

Richard hesitated for a while, but still treated the boy as an adult: "Do you know the current situation of the star world and the forces on all planes?"

".No."

"The most powerful one in the Star Boundary is of course the Alliance. It has the support of the Magic Guild. It is also the first country to fully enter the Star Boundary and has mastered the air elemental plane. By the way, you are now an Alliance citizen."

The earl turned his hand over, and after the ring flashed, a metal card embedded with crystal stones appeared in his hand and handed it to Alek. On it was engraved "Alek Vog" and his birth date, and the country he belonged to was called "Northern Philly". Loren Star Alliance".

"Then there are several great powers. There is a combination of elves and humans, formerly the Sea Alliance of Istani. In addition to some fleets cruising around the main material plane, there are also outposts on the water elemental plane;

“Our alliance’s allies, the Star Dwarf Confederation, mainly operate on the elemental plane of fire and several secondary planes;

“The Eternal Theocracy is the only country whose main body is still on the main material plane, but it is also the country with the furthest range of activities. It launched a sacred expedition to the star realm, claiming to follow God’s will to find the end of the world to meet the Lord. "

Richard muttered: "Anyone who sees them will stay away."

"What about the Empire?"

"This problem is more complicated. The empire gave up the technology of entering the star realm. Here, the empire we talk about often refers to the 'Valois Empire'." Richard shook his head:

"Originally the Republic of Valois, they experienced turmoil during the large-scale migration, and were restrained by a spellcaster general. It is said that he was Master Rorschach's junior disciple, and he later proclaimed himself emperor.

"The Valois Empire and the Alliance have had many frictions and disputes, but in recent years there has been some peace.

"Within the alliance, there are also lurking 'imperial factions' who are trying to restore our homeland from within the alliance and promote the descendants of the royal family as emperors of the star realm. And I am still a border count, so what I am worried about is that Jonas After enrolling in school, he was targeted by the so-called ‘imperialists’.”

After Richard finished speaking, he joked: "Little Alek, are you from the empire?"

Alek was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "Sir, I don't fully understand what you said. I only know that you have helped me so much. I only listen to you and will definitely complete your instructions."

Jonas was very satisfied with Alek's attitude. He jumped up from the sofa, changed his lukewarm attitude, and patted Alek on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad. I will be the one to protect you after school starts."

This answer is really a precocious little adult. Looking at Jonas who wants to be the "big brother", Richard is a little speechless. Are he and Libus doting on him too much?

However, he did not fully appreciate Alek's tact: "Okay. But in the star world, I am not a count, and you don't need to call anyone 'Sir'. Jonas, Alek is older than you, You should call me brother."

"Oh——" Reluctantly, very reluctantly.

During this period, Richard left for a while, leaving Alek and Jonas alone. Fortunately, the two were close in age and could chat quickly. In particular, Alek's experience of following Old Vog in exploring the ruins of the dwarf city particularly attracted Jonas.

"My dad said that you are here to preserve the cultural memory of the dwarves and dig up the history buried underground. The founding team of scavengers was the golden adventurer and the silver dragon knight Singlev. I don't care about this, I just think that the ruins of the underground city must be It's fun." Jonas leaned on the sofa, fascinated.

No, we are just a group of dealers poaching everywhere for money. Alek couldn't bear to tell the other side of the truth. When he told it, he tried his best to select as many materials as possible. All the thrills were to show how hard-won the final treasure was.

This is not because he is born with good eloquence. In fact, every scavenger must be able to tell stories in order to raise the price and get more money from the rich men from the star realm.

As for the horror of the cold on the surface, the stench of rotting corpses in the depths, and the constant threat of death, how could the count's only son feel it? There are also those group of scavengers who are only interested in profit and intrigue. They have no regard for the deceased. They only see the value of the relics and only drink alcohol when they rest.

As he thought about it, Alek thought of Vog again, and his mood for telling stories dimmed.

When Richard came back again, they experienced another ladder transmission and reached the surface of the air elemental plane.

"We have arrived at the Alliance's member country, the Killer Clan Kingdom." The Countess was feeling unwell, so Richard introduced them and led them down from the spaceship to complete the final journey. At this moment, the three of them are in a huge floating city. Compared with the good consistency of the "Kepler" space station, this city is more like a big platter, and you can see wooden, metal and even stone blocks spliced ​​together.

The platter of buildings lies in the clouds. The thick clouds also have various colors, but the deepest and thickest ones reveal flowing orange. In the distance, there are repeated "plots of land". It is said that the raw materials of "Star Bread" are produced from there.

The races inside are also rich and colorful. You can see residents from the main plane, as well as many shorter blue humanoid creatures. They are often accompanied by air elemental creatures. If you look closely, you can see that the "blue is different".

The core area of ​​the city is magnificent, with white and gold colors intertwined, with a square as the center, and the square is centered on a pair of male and female spellcaster statues.

The face of the magnificent statue is shaped in an abstract and simple way, so it is impossible to tell who it is. The golden body is also covered with a bright red robe, as if to prove that the object of the sculpture is a great wizard.

"Who are they?"

"Hmm," Richard touched his chin playfully, "Who are they? The statues were built by the natives, the little blue men, and their language is not completely consistent with the common language. At least there are many incomprehensible accents. In addition, no one has claimed them. In short, we don't know. Yes, everyone pretends not to know."

"Oh." Alec gave up thinking, and they walked all the way to the branch of the magic guild, and then came to the new hall through the portal.

The coming and going of the branch was surprising enough, and now they were in the hall with more people, especially young people of the same age as Alec.

It was mealtime when they arrived, and these young men were chewing bread in their mouths. Voge would try to get some for Alec to try on his birthday, so he recognized it at a glance. However, there seemed to be something else in the bread, some green and pink flakes, and some sauce.

Alec swallowed dryly, and Richard caught this: "Before reporting, I think I can have a meal of Rorschach bread with you. It won't take up too much time."

Alec heard the name "Rorschach" more than once, but he had never seen the legendary wizard who lived in his mouth. They walked towards the cafeteria window and passed the gilded flag hanging high in the hall.

The flag was the emblem of the Tower of All Arts, a giant tree with lush branches and leaves in a perfect hexagon.
