Mage? Spell Engineer!

Tower of All Arts - Room 231022, Water Elemental Plane Division.

Alek holds a pen in his right hand and presses the letter paper with his left hand. His pen is hovering in the air, feeling a little dazed. It wasn't until the salty sea breeze outside the window hit his face that he became more awake.

The legacy of the empire and the palace-like starships were still vivid in his mind. Likewise, the image of the Alliance and the Magic Tower overwhelmingly controlling the situation and sweeping away the resistance like thunder was also lingering in his mind.

Now it seems that when Earl Richard, no, Master Richard asked himself if he was an "Imperialist", he had a deep meaning.

Alek was very happy that the Tower of All Arts could take him in, and he was very happy that he stood firmly on the side of the Tower of All Arts. When the dust settled, Alek was almost unaffected, and neither Jonas nor he was exposed. They were secretly sent back to the tower to continue their peaceful and leisurely student life.

As for his parents, he didn't know the truth about the family's demise. Alek considered himself a realist. Almost all scavengers had to live in the present, and he was also affected.

So Alek just clearly realized and accepted the reality: the nominally most powerful force in the empire, the lords of the border counties, also firmly sided with the magic guild, and the remaining remnants were not worth mentioning.

Even the existence of the earldom relies on the patronage and support of the star realm.

And recently he heard news that the main plane had reached the critical point of collapse and had to give up. He wanted to write to Vog to persuade him to leave there as soon as possible.

Jonas was also greatly shocked. He didn't even read the book. He just lay on his bed and repeatedly opened and closed the "Spellcasting Drive Table" in his hand.

Alek also understood this very well. Who would have thought that Master Richard would be willing to use his own child as bait.

"The Alliance believes that the Imperial Faction's target is Jonas." This is what the Imperial Faction thinks, and it is also what the Alliance hopes the Imperial Faction thinks.

The imperial faction thought they could hide their real target, the inconspicuous little follower beside Jonas, the actual grandson of the emperor and the only direct royal bloodline in the empire, Alexei.

It's a pity that their plot was predictable from beginning to end. Alek even speculated that he was also living under the surveillance and control of the alliance and magic guild. He was the bait for these old people, and it was not until recently that he finally used it.

The only thing that made Alek feel at ease was Vog, because he was a carefree dwarf. But he still wanted to ask Vogel if he knew his life experience?

The theory given by Richard is that the contamination of the Mother Goddess that destroyed the Imperial Capital came from the Imperial Capital, and may even be William II himself. His parents also died.

What is the truth? Is the Earl still trustworthy?

Thousands of thoughts entangled his hands, preventing him from writing.

In the end, Alek wrote and asked Vog to come to the astral realm to see him as soon as possible and have a chat in person.

As for Jonas, Master Richard's compensation is a large sum of money, 100,000 alliance coupons. While Jonas was writing a "tearful", tear-stained letter of complaint to his mother, he browsed the product list of racing airboats for a week, and is still struggling with color matching and whether to add serifs to the steering wheel and seats.

Perhaps because he was bored, Jonas jumped up from the bed and glanced at Alek's letter: "Why are you still talking at length? Didn't you say you would be charged per word?"

"Forget it, after going through such a mess, I really need to say a few more words. Let's do this, I will sponsor the news fee!"

Alek shook his head: "No, thank you, I can afford the money."

"Oh yes, you bet on where that beast was raised. That lunatic training club is a trap!" Jonas gritted his teeth as he recalled it:

"I'm going to go for a ride when the rowing boat arrives! Alek, if you want me to take you, you have to do it early. The rowing boat only has two seats. Sooner or later, I will find a girl to sit in the passenger seat, so you have to seize the opportunity."

Alek still calmly declined, which made Jonas very annoyed, and then he discovered what Alek had pressed under the letter paper.

"What are these?" Jonas pulled out two pieces of paper, and Alek didn't stop him, letting his roommate see clearly: "One-way ticket for the luxury cabin of the Starliner?"

"This is for Vog."

"Also... is it also an order for rowing boats? Or is it a full order? The bonus you earned is not that high, right?!"

"In fact, the Earl managed an asset for my family. Although most of the real estate was destroyed by the disaster, my grandfather invested in a lot of properties when the territory was first established.

"Now the entire fund is running well. Lord Dahlberg handed it back to me when I came of age. However, he said that I still need to learn a lot of investment knowledge. I can only control the annual income."

He has no other desires but is interested in rowing boats. It is said that it is very fast and exciting to drive.

Jonas is not ignorant. He knows without thinking that the royal inheritance is an astronomical figure, and that his father is a kind man and will never embezzle this money.

After thinking about it, Jonas looked serious and grabbed Alek's hand on the spot: "Brother, I will mess with you from now on! When your rowing boat arrives, please let me sit in the passenger seat!"

The first thing Jonas did after positioning himself as "little brother" was to insist on packing lunch for Alek. He couldn't stop him. Alek only thought about bringing meals to Jonas a few times in the future. flat.

Now, there is only one person left in the dormitory.

"How does it feel to almost become the last emperor?"

"There is no sense of reality. The empire no longer exists, so what's the point of fantasizing about the past?" Alek replied calmly. He quickly realized that the person asking him was not Jonas or Richard.

An unfamiliar voice.

He suddenly stood on his head and jumped up from his chair. Alek held the driver watch in his hand. He had actually mastered a small trick, but he did not announce it considering his roommate's mood.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Rorschach."

Only then did Alek realize that the person speaking was not a human being. He was as incorporeal as a ghost, but his face was that of a spirited young man. He had heard the name "Rorschach" too many times, and when he finally saw him, his fright turned into a slight excitement.

"Don't worry about my status, you can understand it as a super long-distance communication.

"I want to know what you plan to do with that huge inheritance? According to the data I got from the banking system, congratulations to you Alek, you are at the top of the rich list."

"I want all the residents of the Border Territory to come to the Star Boundary. They are living too hard on the ground, and isn't it said that the main plane is about to collapse?"

Rorschach nodded and shook his head: "This way you will be suspected by the alliance of having restoration intentions."

Alek quickly explained: "That's not what I mean. I can just contribute money without showing up! I'm not their leader, I'm just one of them."

"Okay, very good." Rorschach said with some appreciation: "This is a big project, and it may cost almost all your money."

"I do, but I still want to own my own rowing boat. Well, there is nothing to keep other than that." For Alek, that number was too big, and he felt that he only needed to take a small part of it. You can live a very happy life in the tower, eating and drinking well.

In contrast, sponsoring the final remnant of the empire to migrate to the star realm, in Alek's opinion, is the proper use of the family legacy, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the final responsibility of the royal family to the people.

"It's okay to have hobbies. Pay attention to safety. In addition, you can exchange rowing experiences with an old man named Alexander Humboldt. He is too old to drive now, but he can talk endlessly about vehicles."

Rorschach murmured like he was talking to himself: "The toughest defenders can also be good pioneers, and these people are suitable to be pioneers.

"Alek?"

"Eh."

"In addition to sponsoring the people to the star realm, are you willing to lead them to explore the unknown world?"

Alek thought carefully before answering: "If I can find a livable place that does not belong to the Alliance, Valois and other countries, then of course I will."

"Okay," Rorschach made up his mind. He asked Alek to stretch out his hand, and a ball of light melted into the young man's palm, followed by an object like a small branch, which was also wrapped in light, making it difficult for him to see its original appearance.

Alek blinked and found that after the two things merged, there was an illusory page. The little trick he had mastered was recorded on it: [Vertigo] (zero ring) (white), followed by two words, "enchantment" "oscillation".

If you look carefully, there is a line of small words that seems to be commenting on this magic:

"It seems that everyone can resist the most basic tricks of the enchantment system by relying on willpower and mental strength. But if it is combined with other spells and the frequency of release is increased, even high-level spellcasters will be disgusted. , 'I'll make you vomit until you die!'"

Rorschach left Alek the last words before disappearing: "Remember what you said today, and never forget it."
