Chapter 24: Heroes
If elemental mages are pure combatants, engineering mages are pure auxiliaries.
In the academy's circular arena, the magicians of the engineering department are manipulating huge mechanical arms to install the competition ring.
For engineering magicians, power can be used not only to wreak havoc, but also to create.
The huge mechanical arm was full of the flavor of industrial civilization, which made Will look amazed.
Meltia and Lanley had never seen Will, who was so full of curiosity and curiosity, and kept pestering Mitchell, the head of the engineering department of the student union, to ask questions.
"What's wrong with this guy? It's the first time I've seen him care so much about things other than money?"
Standing outside the high platform, Meltia, who was coordinating manpower, asked Lan Li beside her.
"In my experience, this must be an illusion! This guy must have bad water in his stomach!"
Lan Li said very cautiously, not at all confused by the illusion.
Although Mitchell, the head of the engineering department, is a strong man with five big and three thick feet, he is a gentle and delicate person.
Will pestered him for hours, asking long and short questions, and the other party was not annoyed at all, but answered the questions one by one.
The magic of the engineering department is miscellaneous. However, in Will's view, it is not so much magic as a mechanical transformation using magic.
The kings and princes of each kingdom need engineering magicians to build taller and larger castles and stronger walls, and they also need them to set up defensive enchantments to defend against foreign enemies.
When marching to battle, the army needs engineering magicians to build positions and build siege equipment.
Even in terms of internal affairs, the magicians of the engineering department can also be used to dredge the water system, mine and open mountains, and make labor tools.
The importance of engineering is evident in the fact that the Department of Engineering is able to occupy the mainstream among the many types of magic.
It has been hundreds of years since the rise of magic in the engineering department, and the kings of various countries have not ignored its great role in enhancing the national power, and its applicability like a panacea has made the magicians of the engineering department compete with each other by major powers.
"There are also spells in elemental magic that can form humanoid arms, and they are far less complicated than this mechanical arm, so why not use them?"
Will asked, following Mitchell like a curious baby.
"It's true, but elemental magic is more explosive and destructive, and far less precise than the magic of our engineering department. Moreover, no engineering magician can maintain a steady output of mana under the high intensity of work. This mechanical arm is a magical artifact that mimics the dwarves of ancient times, and it only requires a small amount of magic to operate. β
Mitchell explained as he arranged for his men to place magical enchantments around the square test table.
"Dwarven magical creations?"
"According to ancient records, more than a dozen epochs ago, the dwarves once established a fairly large magical civilization, creating jaw-dropping magical creations. Despite their eventual decline, to this day, dwarves are still the best at crafting magical items of all races. On the continent, many heirloom magic ornaments, weapons and even artifacts are made by dwarven masters. β
The setup on the grounds was almost complete, and Mitchell walked up to Meltia, with Will following him.
"President, the basic layout of the venue has been completed. However, there are a lot of people participating in the competition this time, and they are all some young powerhouses who are famous in the Continent, once they really make a move, I am worried that the enchantment is not strong enough, should it be reinforced?"
Mitchell asked.
"It's a bit of a headache. Meltia thought for a moment and said, "Reso of Navarre, Sancho of LeΓ³n, these two are uneasy guys. Capet's Robert is even more unafraid, once they are really serious, the current level of enchantment is indeed not enough, let's strengthen it ten times first!"
"Ten times!" Lan Li said with some incredible surprise, the current level of enchantment was able to block the fierce bombardment of a hundred high-level fire magic.
Ten times stronger? Are they so scary?
However, Meltia was still a little worried, and said: "Two more magic teams to repair and strengthen the enchantment, and be on standby at any time during the competition!" Lan Li, the medical department has enough medicine to prepare, and five more treatment teams are on standby at the scene." β
Mitchell received Meltia's order and immediately went down to prepare.
"Will, what are you doing with Mitchell?" Will was about to follow Mitchell when he was stopped by Lanley.
"What's wrong?"
"Look you've been following Mitchell all morning, saying, what's your plot?"
Not only Lanley, but also Meltia showed a scrutinizing expression.
Seeing these two beauties with such expressions, Will said that my heart is really tired.
"I'm just more curious, and I'm just going to talk to Mitchell about the magic of the engineering department!"
"That's it?"
Maybe Will has done too much evil in the past, and the two beauties still don't show a trusting expression.
"Of course!"
"The competition is coming soon, why are you so unproductive now?" Unable to get anything more out of Will's mouth, Lanley criticized Will from a different angle.
"What's wrong with me?" Facing Lan Li's unexplained count, Will looked innocent.
"Do you know how hard our student council ministers worked to participate in this contest? Let's just say David Wellington! This guy is now ten times more physically active than usual in a day, and spends his days in his room meditating and storing his magic. β
"Don't worry! I'm very confident in this competition. Will smiled and said.
Meltia's eyes lit up, she looked at Will, and said, "Navarre's Reso, a level 20 thunder battle mage. There is an artifact in his hand, Thor's Hammer, once it is wielded, it is powerful and fierce. Sancho of Leon, a level 20 enchantment master and a skilled illusionist, was once besieged by three legendary magicians from an enemy country and escaped unharmed. Robert of Capet, the youngest Templar of the present day, is a dragon slayer. He is best known for the Battle of Fort Cotton, where he led a hundred Berserkers of the Sun to break through enemy lines, killing the enemy's commander and dozens of mages in the rear. This changed the situation on the battlefield and led to the complete rout of the Kalmar Alliance. This is just the powerful characters in our Southern Magic Alliance, not to mention the young powerhouses of the northern countries. β
Meltia looked at Will intentionally or unintentionally, and the reminder in her tone was very strong.
"In my opinion, it's just a local chicken!"
Will laughed and turned to leave, the look of the heroes in the world as if nothing made the two women present stunned.
"Is he scared a little crazy?"
Lan Li turned her head and asked.
"Who knows?"
Meltia looked at Will's figure with anticipation in her eyes.
