A mage? A spell engineer!

Chapter 568 I'm Super, I'm Cheat!

Rorschach once considered developing the bloodline of people without magical talent, but unfortunately, due to limited technology at the time, he never found a way to do it.

Later, Martin himself gave up on this idea—thanks to the special district's policy of "treating everyone the same, whether they can cast spells or not," whether or not someone is a sorcerer did not prevent him and his sweetheart Hannah from elevating their pure friendship as classmates/colleagues.

When Martin told Hannah about the origin of the unusual little pendant around his neck, she was startled and hugged him tightly, saying, "You're not allowed to participate in such dangerous experiments anymore!"

Rorschach didn't want to know what happened next; anyway, the progress of this matter was inversely proportional to the progress of Martin Hannah and the other person.

This is unacceptable! This is unacceptable!

"Master Rorschach? Rorschach?"

Humboldt's shout pulled Rorschach back from his resentful memories: "Sorry, I was thinking about something."

When he came to his senses, he noticed that Alexander von Humboldt's green robe was a bit worn, indicating that the main body had returned and the clone had gone out to take over.

However, this didn't affect Rorschach's train of thought: "I'm thinking, if we could extract the effects of the mask, wouldn't everyone be able to cast spells?"

Humboldt's face twitched: "It's said that you've been insisting on the spread of magical technology at the Council of Elders. Now the Guild has already made many concessions to you on education issues, there's no need to pressure everyone anymore."

However, the child acted as if he hadn't heard, focusing intently on examining the mask from all angles, as if he could see something extraordinary in it. At this moment, Luo Xia was indignant. What did he mean by "concession"? It was clearly to adapt to the needs of the times; they would have gradually compromised even without him.

Alexander could roughly guess the young man's thoughts and offered a different perspective to Rorschach: "Alright, let's not talk about that now. How do you plan to achieve this? The contract requires the use of [Summoning the Spirit of Nature], meaning only someone who can cast spells can complete the first step. Isn't that a paradox? Besides, it's just a spell that can inherit the caster's abilities."

"For us, completing a spell requires mastering it and then using magic to bring it to fruition. We have solutions for each step I've mentioned so far, but we haven't yet found a way to connect the individual steps."

Special nature spirits can form contracts with people, and spell clouds can provide spell prototypes, replacing the spellcaster in transmitting spells to the nature spirits and then making them come to life.

The process isn't yet fully streamlined, and the problems Humboldt mentioned do indeed exist. However, in Rorschach's view, resolving them is simply a matter of time.

"Master Luo Xia, you'd better be careful. The existing mages certainly won't accept the arrival of an era where everyone can cast spells. There's no need to become the target of everyone's criticism."

In his eyes, Rorschach's advancement speed was like a starship, and he was also very concerned about "magical equality." What was this? It was probably because the overpowered leader was always thinking about giving each of his underlings a cheat code.

Humboldt had also considered this. Given the unique nature of the mask, combined with the symbiotic technology created by the Black Forest Elves, the Forest Tower might be able to develop a true external spellcasting organ.

"It's not that serious. Didn't you just test it? Even the spirits you summon can only cast low-level magic. They can't handle any higher energy levels."

"So, based on this level, only low-level mages and apprentices who are about to advance in rank will be affected in the future. These people pose no threat to the Arcane Senate or to us, so should we consider their opinions?"

"It's not that simple. This would shake the very foundation of all the privileges of mages. At that time, I'm sure most mages would oppose it."

Luo Xia was determined to challenge him: "Then I'll create a million copies of the cheat, and who will be the majority then?"

That's exactly the situation I was worried about! Fortunately, the mages of Humboldt and even the Forest Tower aren't the kind of people who are particularly proud of their spellcasting abilities. If you told other mages that, they would probably be so angry that they would fight Rorschach to the death.

"Hey, we haven't seen any results yet, let's not think about it too much." Luo Xia chuckled, finding another excuse: "Isn't this the time when the Mother Goddess is resurrected and there aren't enough mages? It's not a bad thing if our forces can grow stronger."

"Forget it, if you insist on doing it, I suggest you package it as some kind of alchemical device, and don't be too hasty in promoting it. That way you might fool the other mages and avoid causing public outrage."

"Agree to this, and I will teach you the [Summoning the Spirits of Nature] technique, Rorschach."

"That's only right." Luo Xia agreed with his senior's mature words, but declined the offer: "There's no need for you to spend your time teaching me. It's just a third-circle spell. You've demonstrated it several times already, so I've already learned it by watching."

Now, the spellcasting process can be broken down into multiple steps in his eyes. The characteristics of the magic flow and the peaks of vibration can be matched one by one with the nodes of the Tree of Law. If it is a complex spell, it is a little harder to see through, but a mere third-circle spell can be deciphered and replicated as easily as Kakashi.

Proving he wasn't just boasting, the mask in Rorschach's hand once again coalesced into a ball of light, and as Rorschach had intended, instead of expanding into a human shape, it compressed into the form of a small rodent, which was rather cute.

Signing a contract with it... Hmm, I'm one step closer to becoming a magical girl or boy!

The spirit of nature received the spell from the contractor and spontaneously condensed a ball of light. Rorschach loved to use the [Light Spell] for testing; it was stable and effective when successful, and had no serious consequences even if unsuccessful.

Humboldt could only sigh inwardly, knowing he couldn't stop this guy, so he tried to "persuade him kindly" from the beginning.

While the two were discussing, the Forest Tower's "Air Element Dimension Exploration Team" had already assembled, even bringing two modified vehicles. If all went well, the next group to go would be the magical youth "Go to the Fields" exploration team.

"Master Rorschach, shall we share a car or each drive our own? We have two high-level spellcasters in the group, so we can provide fuel to the cars if we run out." Master Humboldt's hand was already on the car door.

"Time is of the essence, let's use the teleportation array. We can just power the guild's system directly." Rorschach immediately "confiscated" Humboldt's beloved toy, compressing it into a model size and storing it in his ring.

Immediately, the other members of the expedition team displayed a variety of expressions, their eyes involuntarily darting back and forth between the two great mages.

Master Humboldt paused for a moment, his fist clenched tightly, but finally composed himself and chose to prioritize the bigger picture: "Master Rorschach is right. Since the large items have already been stored, why not teleport them?"

Rorschach's brief trip has come to an end, but it has been quite fruitful, bringing back a high-ranking mage with a regretful expression and a team of professionals. However, before entering the Air Elemental Plane and reaching the Little Blue Man's stronghold, the Forest Tower Mage and his party first visited the Space Center.

Starship will also play a significant role in their food security plan, and the two sides will engage in strategic cooperation on this matter.

Wait, stop!

Is there a problem? When the Tower of Stars launched its first ship, not so many people seemed interested. Why is it that now that I've started construction, everyone's eyeing the big spaceship? Luo Xia expressed his incomprehension and disbelief at the unanimous choice of the dwarves, elves, and the Tower of the Forest.
