Chapter 615: Station
Hearing Rorschach's "bold words", Humboldt could no longer remain calm and stood up suddenly: ".Super-class magic?"

Richard and Libby, who lacked knowledge in this area, simply felt it was impressive and did not react as strongly as Master Humboldt.

"Yes." Rorschach's tone was calm and natural.

"Is it from the Tower of Mysticism?"

"No."

Rorschach didn't say anything, and Master Humboldt didn't dwell on this question. Instead, he asked something more important: "So to what extent can you do it? How confident are you?"

Rorschach was now connected to the Tree of Law, and retrieved the ancient sages' knowledge of the spell: "Now that the North is close to the polar regions of eternal winter, [World Weaving] can be biased to a temperate climate. As for mastery, I haven't tried it yet, but I have studied it. There has to be a first time, right?"

After the ancient sage showed Rorschach this magic, the impression of it remained with him, and in Rorschach's mind, he had secretly set it as a goal.

In the past, he had tried to "call the wind and rain" to assist in agriculture in Byrne. This was a rehearsal based on Rorschach's spellcasting ability at the time and his analysis of the knowledge of ancient sages, and the result was very smooth.

Shaping the boundary, imposing his own will on it to construct an environment close to the material world, and adjusting it from chaos to a self-consistent system with the Tree of Law as its core also proved his ability.

Today, with the growth of the Tree of Law, the magic power and level that Rorschach can mobilize and control have reached a far higher level than before, so although it seemed that he was responding to Libby's casual remark, in fact, he had been holding it in for a long time and finally found the opportunity to put it into practice.

Humboldt's surprise lasted only a moment, and soon he began to think pragmatically:
"【World Weaving】. Both the level and scope of the spell are unprecedented, so you must be extremely cautious." Humboldt glanced out the window again: "But the northern border is sparsely populated and the climate is abnormal. There is no reason to stop you from trying.

"Before that, I will do my best to help you remove obstacles to casting the spell. If we don't eliminate the influence of the Mother Goddess first, it is likely to lead to disastrous consequences. In addition, we should conduct a field survey first to confirm the scope and extent of the climate that needs to be changed."

He had no intention of stopping Rorschach, he just kept reminding and emphasizing Rorschach to be cautious.

After all, the young wizard's announcement that he was going to cast a super-class magic was as natural and calm as his announcement that he wanted to eat something not long ago. How could Humboldt stop him? What could he do to stop him? Besides, the beneficiary was the entire northern part of the empire.

"Then we may have to go first." Rorschach strengthened the barrier attached to the car one last time, and then Master Humboldt opened the portal and left Richard's carriage.

The train arrived at the destination, the capital of the newly established "Dalberg Border Earldom". No matter what its name was in the past, it was renamed "Dalberg" from the day of the coronation ceremony. Although the heavy snow buried everything, the outlines of the buildings could still be vaguely recognized. There were no tall and magnificent buildings. Even in the urban area, there were only three or four-story brick and wood buildings squeezed together.

"Even if it's a convention, it's still a bit strange to have my last name on the station sign." Richard sighed as he got off the bus. His family name really looked like a place name, meaning "mountain in the Dal area." Now this piece of land and a city are really named after it.

Another gust of wind whistled past, and the entire station was covered with traces of frost, with ice and snow pressing on the top. The entire sky and station building were extremely dim, and the embarrassing orange-yellow lights and sunlight made it difficult for people to feel the temperature. Behind the small window, the station staff was extremely surprised: in such bad weather, the lord's train still arrived almost on time!
The deserted station suddenly became lively again. After the first train carrying people and goods arrived at the station, Richard's subordinates and future subjects gathered on the platform, gathering and moving supplies.

"It's so cold." Libus took the opportunity to lean against Richard, and when she saw that he didn't react, she hugged him even more. The adjutant was only briefly surprised to see a lady who was not on the entourage list, but soon got used to it and saluted the "reserve lord's wife." "Pay attention to your image, Libus. I'm maintaining the temperature of the station, how can I be cold?" Richard said this, but he didn't break free from her arms.

The team unloaded and reorganized for a while before the local nobles, rulers and other people finally arrived.

Seeing someone coming, Libus immediately changed from hugging Richard to holding him with one arm, and her expression softened into a quiet smile.

The local prominent figures were all surprised, partly because the whole station was like spring. They had heard the legend and knew that the new leader was a powerful spellcaster, but seeing it with their own eyes and experiencing it in person was still shocking.

Second, the young earl had a close female companion, whose every move showed that she had a good upbringing and a comfortable life, and her manners were impeccable, and she was definitely of noble birth. This was inconsistent with the intelligence that the earl was single, so they had to change many of the arrangements for the reception.

Unexpectedly, it was beyond their control. Originally, in the border areas directly under the empire, in places far away from the emperor, these local tyrants were the ones who had the final say, and now a lord suddenly appeared from nowhere, and everyone was a little unhappy.

Originally, they thought that the train would be delayed or even cancelled due to the bad weather, so the local tyrants did not prepare for the arrival at the station, which was leaky from all sides. Would it anger the lord? The feeling of uneasiness had already begun to sprout.

What was unexpected was that Richard asked them questions after they finished their introductions: "When did the climate start to become abnormal? How many people in the territory were affected? Did any followers of the Mother Goddess or monsters take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble?"

Those who were asked looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Richard's expression gradually turned cold, comparable to the cold outside the station: "I have just heard everyone's self-introductions. There are lords, barons, governors, and tax collectors standing in front of me. Is there no one who can answer the question clearly?"

The consul, who had been thinking hard, evaded the question by saying that the snowstorm came suddenly and traffic was blocked, so it was impossible to conduct a statistical survey. Richard also thought that made sense, so he turned to ask about the situation in the city. These "local elites" still hesitated and gave a rough idea, and even Libus and Richard's adjutant frowned.

At this time, the Earl's army was ready. They lined up along the platform and stood in a neat line. The station was shrouded in an invisible field, and not a trace of wind or snow came in. The local tyrants finally realized that the person appointed by His Majesty William II was not some pretty boy, but a strong lord who had connections and power and was not easy to fool.

It was clearly an extremely cold day, but the dignitaries who came to meet the passengers at the station began to wipe their sweat with soft and exquisite handkerchiefs.

Finally, Richard smiled and dissolved the frozen atmosphere: "I am a newcomer and I was a little anxious. Thank you all for coming to greet me. Please take my men to the barracks to rest."

Although he looked like this, he secretly shook his head in his heart. It seemed that the original local team was inefficient and lacked execution ability, and could not compare with Byrne and the Free State in the south of the empire. How could they cope with the subsequent construction and development and the challenge from the evil god if they relied on them alone?

It seems that I also have a lot of preparations to do. Rorschach, how long will it take you to prepare? Can you really change the climate of a place?

Richard found that even if he was a high-level spellcaster, it was not easy to maintain the temperature of the entire open station and isolate the strong wind. He finally had a preliminary understanding of the "super level" of [World Weaving].
