Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 541 It really wasn’t me who did it
Now it wasn't just the great wizard who was suffering from insomnia. Some people were still snoring, and some were very sensitive to light, and the "daylight" that penetrated through the gaps in the curtains could wake them up.

About a quarter of an hour after entering the "daylight", there was a knock on the door of the workshop, followed by a vague female voice: "Rorschach? You are in there, right?"

Kano's avatar suddenly became excited: "Whose voice was that just now? Why did it sound like Caroline to me?
"Boy, let me tell you, I have no children. Caroline is like a daughter to me. How dare you..."

Rorschach immediately clarified, speaking at a speed comparable to spilling beans: "I don't know what you are thinking about so rudely. I am now in the workshop of the Mage Tower, not the bedroom. As a collaborator of my tower, it makes sense for Mage Caroline to come here to find me now that there is an emergency, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, he opened the door and said, "Come in." At the same time, he suggested to the great wizards, "Let's interrupt the meeting first. Since there is a strange phenomenon, each of us should collect information around us, and then leave messages to exchange, or hold an emergency meeting."

"As it should be." After saying this, Feuerbach was the first to log off. The others also cut off the connection one after another.

"I just talked to the members of the Senate, and it seems that the sky has brightened across the entire continent." Rorschach invited Caroline in: "The reason is still unclear."

He looked out the window. Everything happened so suddenly. The abrupt switch to daytime made him feel as if he were in another world.

It was as if God was saying to the whole world, “Even the people are not asleep.”

Ok?
Looking out the window at the mountains, forests, and the jagged chimneys and tall towers on the skyline, I suddenly felt something strange.

"There is no sun, no blue sky, only a vast expanse of white." Caroline said as she also walked to the window.

Inexplicable depression. Facing the pure white sky with nothing else in it, will people lose their imagination of the height of the sky? Is it high or low? Without any reference or calibration, this uniformity seems to become a silent violence, making people associate it with "envelopment".

There is indeed something looming over the earth, and people are too small to be caught in the middle.

"I don't know if Andre and the others have woken up yet. Could you please notify them?" Rorschach thought for a moment and said, "There are no other abnormalities at the moment. Let the night shift continue production and let the safety team check the indicators of all devices, especially those related to the magic circuit.

"Have all spellcasters in the factory prepare for emergencies, and focus on monitoring the transmutation dust collectors. The security team will maintain order in the factory and surrounding areas."

"Okay. What about you?"

"I will first check and confirm the situation in the three places, and then go to the border area to take a look. If the phenomenon really covers the whole world, it will definitely be reflected in the symbolic world."

After that, Rorschach set off immediately, touring at the fastest speed, choosing the coal mine in the far suburbs of Kempson as his first stop. He had a hunch that if the vision was related to Mother Earth, the facilities deepest underground would most likely have problems.

Coal mining operations are still taking place in the shallow ore layers. Several huge tunneling machines are operating in the mine. Their huge drill bits are constantly gnawing at the soil and rocks, producing raw ore containing a large amount of dark stones.

The huge abandoned mine where the steel plant is located took nearly two hundred years and several generations to dig out to such a scale. Now the size and excavation depth of the new mining area are catching up with the original pit.

It can also dig deeper because it has a better pump.

Puff, puff, puff. Snap.
When Rorschach arrived, he saw workers and engineers scratching their heads around the pump. The water that was pumped out should have been groundwater that had seeped in, and after mixing with coal slag, it was mostly gray muddy water, but this time it was actually a viscous liquid.

Is this spitting out oil?

He slowed down his descent and slowly walked to the pump. The soot-covered master saw a tender-skinned guy coming over and shouted, "Hey, are you an apprentice?" "Official mage."

The people around were slightly surprised: "They actually sent a formal one this time." The master changed the address, but he didn't become respectful: "Look, it suddenly came out with oil, black and sticky, and it stinks."

"Turn off the pump first, it will damage the machine." A sudden change in working conditions is not good for the machinery. After giving the order, Luo Xia used the [Mage's Hand] to scoop up the oily black mud from the pump, which actually had a fishy smell of algae.

He used [Arcane Vision] to examine it, and a faint light was covering it. There was a problem, but he couldn't be sure. Sometimes the crystals containing deposited magic in the slag also showed this.

The apprentice who was actually sent over ran to the mine breathlessly: "Sorry, I'm late."

"Who are you?"

"Didn't your pumping team ask me to handle the emergency?" The apprentice was a little annoyed. "I got up in the middle of the night and came here, while you guys are pretending to be confused."

Immediately, the masters looked at Rorschach with caution and suspicion: "Then who are you?"

Someone suddenly remembered what he had learned in safety education: "You are not a spy, are you? Be quiet and don't move!" A wrench weighing several kilograms was about to come towards him.

Rorschach was wearing casual clothes, and the apprentice who had just woken up didn't react for a while. Now he recognized him, opened his mouth and stammered: "He is a wizard! This lord is... yes."

"I am considered his teacher." Rorschach put his hand on the apprentice's shoulder and took over the conversation before the other party finished speaking: "Let's go to the water inlet at the bottom of the pit and take a look. Don't start the pump without instructions."

After saying this, he picked up his apprentice, first flew into the air and then dived into the bottom of the mine.

"Official mages are different. They can even fly." The old guys in the pumping team watched the two people going down to the mine and commented.

While holding the apprentice, Rorschach asked, "Now the sky suddenly brightens earlier. Did you notice anything unusual besides this? It's like the water suddenly turned into oily mud."

"No, no." The apprentice thought for a while and suddenly exclaimed, "Didn't you light up the sky while doing an experiment?"

? Do you think the sun and I are buddies? How can it suddenly light up? Rorschach suddenly realized that the guys working the night shift were so calm about the sudden dawn, and they were doing what they were supposed to do. Did they think I turned on the light?
It's not the fault of the workers on the night shift. First of all, it suddenly became daytime outside, which looked like magic. Plus, Rorschach had a history of controlling the wind and rain before, so the guys thought: Wow, is the master using his magic again?

What a reasonable guess!
Rorschach didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he thought that this was a good thing. At least the people in this area would be able to accept it calmly and it wouldn't cause panic, which would facilitate the subsequent work.

Now they went down to the water inlet, and the smell of seaweed became stronger and stronger, and more oil sludge was bubbling out, as if it was going to engulf the entire mine. The person in charge of the mine also realized that something was wrong and was organizing the workers and equipment to move out of the mine.

At the same time, strange phenomena occurred all over the world shrouded in daylight.

Especially in the north of the Republic and the south of the Empire, on the battlefield after the war, a group of wandering gray elves drove a caravan to "dig for treasure" and suddenly discovered the remains of soldiers buried shallowly in a large pit and began to move.
