Another World 1Torr1Pa

Chapter 74 Another World 1 Torr = 1 Pa

Rorschach mastered two important terms, "Animation" and "Mapping," through [Stone Shaping] and [The Forest of Delyuaz]. Even without studying illusion magic, he managed to create [Rorschach's Misty Shadow] using only his own abilities and the panel:

Water droplets are first condensed in the air to activate water elements, and the small water droplets are used to change the propagation path of light to achieve a blurring effect.

If one can further improve their proficiency in "Activation (Blue)" and "Mapping (Blue)," it might actually be possible to project illusions, just like a mirage.

Once this is complete, I will rename it "Mirror Flower, Water Moon." As Luo Xia thought this, he adjusted his non-existent glasses.

"Mr. Floran?" Rorschach noticed that he couldn't help but want to stick his head out to look outside, so he used [Mage's Hand] to snap the window shut.

"Thank you, Master Rorschach, you've been a great help!" Floran finally relaxed and noticed that the car seats were exceptionally smooth and soft.

"Is your accommodation near the big market? If so, it's on our way."

"Yes, yes."

Luo Xia looked curious: "How much did you lose? The place can afford to send three thugs."

"Not much. Not much, I owed some from before and haven't paid it back."

"Where is this place?" Rorschach seemed very interested; this young mage seemed to have some spare money and was looking for some excitement.

"Ah, it's that place." The club had only recently moved here, and Floran wasn't familiar with the area, so he couldn't say for sure.

"Is it the one at No. 26 Muxi Street? The one with a courtyard?"

"Ah, yes, yes, that's right." Floran gave an awkward smile. He was thinking about the details that casinos might have, things that could increase credibility but not be easily exposed.

Rorschach nodded. He had only just come out of 26 Muxi Street; there shouldn't be enough time to convert the embassy into a gambling den within an hour.

When the fog rolled in earlier, his [Magic Detection] activated simultaneously. Rorschach saw faint, uniform auras emanating from the waists of the three pursuers, and the leader of the three was also wearing a vest with an aura. This indicated that they were wearing standard magical artifacts, albeit low-grade ones, which were clearly beyond the means of casino thugs.

They are likely police officers, and probably high-ranking plainclothes officers at that.

Having made his assessment, Rorschach changed his mind. Originally, when he met Floran, Rorschach planned to go to the market together to find something to eat. Now that Floran was clearly a nuisance, he decided to drop him off at the bridgehead on Dupont Street, which wasn't far from "Valuwana's Belly".

"Mr. Floran, since you're already in debt, you shouldn't continue making mistakes. If you really can't resist going again, at least bring a companion for backup, right?"

Luo Xia's words warmed the fishmonger's heart. He had never seen such a warm-hearted mage before, from helping catch thieves at the market to now rescuing him and offering sincere advice. Floran recalled the words of "Rock" Maxim: "Club members should prioritize virtue, seeking equality and progress."

Master Rorschach is a virtuous gentleman who treats everyone equally! But he quickly realized the implication of "finding a companion." Did Master Rorschach want him to take him to the casino?

Floran had absolutely no interest in or financial means to frequent such places, and to avoid being exposed, he could only tell Rorschach, "Excellent suggestion, sir, but unfortunately I had a companion who ran away at the crucial moment. I will never again go to such a place of desire that violates morality. I swear, and you bear witness, Rorschach!"

"Run away separately? How can that be called companionship! Isn't it just abandoning you, Mr. Floran?"

Seeing Rorschach's indignant expression, Floran couldn't help but defend his companion: "Don't say that, you've misunderstood. If it weren't for Thor, I would have been caught long ago. Don't let his usual yawning fool you, he's incredibly quick-witted when it counts."

"Thor? Yawning? Is he a lazy young man who's always listless?" Rorschach thought of a lazy guy he often saw.

Ah! Floran finally realized that his foolish words had revealed his companion's identity.

Yes, he was truly blinded by the danger of being hunted down. How could he not have considered that Thor could also use magic, and that Rorschach, the sorcerer, most likely knew him? Thor, is that his real name? What will Rorschach's attitude be? Will Thor be exposed because of him? No, if they are sorcerers, they are not necessarily loyal to the king, unless Rorschach is not a nobleman?

Countless thoughts popped into Floran's head, leaving him bewildered and uncertain.

"We've arrived at the intersection of Dupont Avenue. Please exit through the left door. You definitely know the way from here." As Floran dazedly prepared to get out of the car, Rorschach earnestly reminded him, "Mr. Floran, you'd better stop now. Continuing will only harm yourself and others. There are no casinos on Osmanthus Street."

There was no casino. There was no casino after all! Floran forced a bleak smile and thanked them, his mind a jumble of thoughts as he walked from the bridge to his residence.

"I didn't expect the fishery manager to participate in the event like a businessman, lawyer, or apprentice." Luo Xia didn't want to get too involved right now, and just hoped that this "incompetent" manager would behave himself and not implicate his senior or even himself.

After returning the Alchemy Department's masterpiece, it was already late at night when Rorschach returned to the Tower of Stars. There were still students diligently studying in the first-floor library area. The first-floor library and restaurant of the Tower of Stars were both open-plan, and before Rorschach even entered the restaurant, he saw someone yawning over bread.

Eating after the normal hours in the evening costs money, so Rorschach bought a late-night meal for a hefty one livre—stone-like bread with red sour soup. As long as the soup was hot, it was fine. Rorschach, carrying the soup and bread in his mouth, sat down opposite his senior.

Luo Xia put down the bread and asked his senior brother with a smile, "Senior brother, you're so diligent, eating while reading!

"Final exams are coming up, and I'm hoping to pass this time so I can take the mage exam next year."

Luo Xia nodded: "No wonder I saw my senior brother in the library tonight, which is unprecedented."

"Oh yes, yes, oh no, no, didn't you go to a cocktail party?"

"Yeah, I've been standing all night and I still haven't eaten enough." Rorschach waved the bread in his hand, the clear teeth marks proving its hardness.

"It would be better if you tore it open and soaked it in the soup."

"Good idea." Luo Xia did as instructed, recalling his experience of breaking steamed buns while traveling in the ancient capital in his previous life: "I think I saw my senior brother outside tonight."

"No, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Maybe I'm mistaken, but I also ran into a friend I met on my first day in Valuvana. He's the seafood manager at the big market. And among his friends is a guy named Thor, and the more I hear his name, the more it reminds me of someone—he can even do magic!"

Floran didn't let slip that Thor could use magic, but Rorschach, with a mix of certainty and speculation, decided to bluff first.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Pascal's expression finally changed, and he unconsciously glanced around. Fortunately, no one noticed him and his junior brother. But the omnipresent tower spirit was still there, and whether he admitted it or not, Pascal had to stop his junior brother from continuing.

"What I mean is, senior, you've taken the history of magic exam, right? I need your help with a task."

The afternoon after the party, Kano received a history of magic exam with answers provided.

"Sure, the exam included both standard questions and some more innovative ones. How did you manage to release them so quickly?"

Luo Xia rubbed his eyes: "I have an assistant to help."

Kano didn't care who his assistant was; he put the sample into his anti-prophecy magic box: "What I mean is, it can be submitted after the holidays."

"I don't know why, but I always seem to run into trouble when I go out," Luo Xia said with a helpless expression, unsure whether he was planting or removing a flag. "Just in case, if I can't get back to the Tower of Stars on time, having the exam papers won't delay everyone's exam."
