Age of Adepts

Goblin plane, mechanical city.

This is a huge alchemy laboratory located under the wizard's tower.

In the huge assembly workshop covering an area of ​​13,000 square meters, densely packed scaffolding like a honeycomb was built. Countless goblin engineers and technicians climbed up and down on it, welding, cutting, or knocking, making the place a mess like A crowded food market.

And surrounded by dense scaffolding, one can vaguely see the prototype of a huge magical creation.

This is a huge magic puppet dragon made of all metal. The entire metal body is 100 meters long from head to tail, supported by six pairs of thick and solid metal giant legs, one head and one tail, every pattern and every detail on it They are all carved exquisitely and realistically.

A large amount of pyre-stained copper was used to build this huge magical puppet dragon, so the metal surface showed a strange dark red color. Once the metal body is hit hard, dazzling sparks will even appear, igniting the clothes on the 'attacker'.

Therefore, there will always be some emergency fire alarms in one or two places on the huge scaffolding every half a quarter of an hour, and then the goblin sprinkler trucks that have been waiting for orders will rush to put out the fire.

When Greem came to this workshop accompanied by the wind wizard Desera and a group of goblin senior engineers, what he saw was such a chaotic and noisy scene.

A huge magical puppet dragon with a height and body length of 100 meters...

Greem narrowed his eyes slightly, examining and thinking silently.

You must know that even those real giant dragons, those with a body length of 100 meters are all ancient dragons or ancient dragons, and the minimum starting point is level 6. And this group of weak goblins the size of small beans can actually forge such a huge magic weapon with their exquisite and perfect mechanical forging technology, which has to make Greem look at them with admiration!

But even if the goblins gather senior technicians and engineers from the entire plane, that's the limit of what they can do. Without the magic furnace technology provided by Greem, even if all of them went into battle and installed a coal-fired steam engine in the inner space of the puppet dragon, it would be difficult to drive such a huge magic structure.

It seems that he has already understood this truth. Ever since Greem, the crimson patriarch, arrived in the goblin plane and came to Mechanic City, the old goblin with the smartest mind and the oldest qualifications among the goblin engineers has been closely following him. Like a monk chanting scriptures, he can't stop talking about 'lack of funds', 'many work-related injuries', 'few apprentices'...

Of course, what it talks about the most is the large magic furnace on the blueprint!

According to the current self-weight of the magic puppet dragon as high as 400 tons, this large magic furnace must at least reach 1/3 of the power of the super magic furnace fused with the brain monster Gazlowe to be able to drive such a huge magic structure. body.

If one considers the many magic weapons that will need to be installed in the later stage, I am afraid that the power of this newly built large magic furnace must be at least not lower than that of the super magic furnace.

And to create that super magic furnace, Greem borrowed a rare 'source of magic power' to succeed. Now if you want to build a magic furnace comparable to it, you can only consume more Quelas Alloy!

Therefore, when Greem was circling around this magical puppet dragon to examine it, he was also quickly calculating the consumption of Quelas alloy in his mind.

The total amount of Quelas alloy obtained this time is 270 tons. According to the latest optimized model data of the chip, about 67 space furnaces or 26 magic melting furnaces can be built. But if it is to build a large magic melting furnace, I am afraid that if all the Quelas alloys are added up, only 3-4 can be built.

Considering the cruiser mothership, goblin dragon gun, space ripper and the legendary Thor Titan that are already on the construction list, Greem always feels that his family will be destroyed by these weak goblins. North Korea failed.

However, the magic weapon puppet dragon is just a preliminary experiment, in order to accumulate some experience in forging magic weapon constructs for the next few real big killers. And among those large magical mechanical constructs, Greem's most preferred ones were of course the cruiser mothership and the Thor Titan.

No matter how powerful this magic weapon puppet dragon is, its basic strength can reach the point where it can fight against a fourth-order creature. But it is too clumsy after all, and it can't fly. If the 4th-level enemy is too cunning, if you play guerrilla warfare against its weaknesses, I am afraid that the magic puppet dragon will still be difficult to parry.

This can be seen from the fact that Csuna, the leader of the Tier 4 Death Witch, can single out a Tier 4 dragon and win.

Therefore, in Greem's mind, even if this future magic weapon puppet dragon is really successfully built, it may only be regarded as a lowest-level fourth-order magic weapon construct!

However, when the Crimson family lacks a Tier 4 wizard to sit in the township, it is still considered a good thing to suddenly have an extra Tier 4 magic weapon.

Now, the only key is whether it is worth it!

Thinking of this, Greem finally stopped in his tracks, and looked back at the old goblin who was following too closely and almost bumped into him.

"you……"

"My name is Gong Ga, and I am the current dean of the Royal Academy of Engineers of the Goblin Empire, and I am also the supervisor of the construction of this magical puppet dragon!"

"You seem to have said too many difficulties and technical problems just now. I don't want to hear this now. All I care about is, if I provide you with a large magic furnace with sufficient power, what can you give me in return?" Greem With his hands behind his back, his eyebrows raised slightly, he looked arrogant and arrogant.

Hearing Greem's words, all the goblins gathered around held their breath.

The goblins who can appear here are at least a senior engineer. They have participated in the creation of the magic puppet dragon throughout the whole process, so they naturally know the value represented by a large magic furnace. In the past, they have complained countless times to the wizards stationed here about the insufficient number of apprentices, lack of funds, and constant work-related injuries... However, what really troubles them is still the lack of a strong 'heart' that can drive the magic puppet dragon!

Countless complaints, countless applications, countless expectations...

Every time they were dismissed by the garrison wizards, but they didn't even have a reason to explain. This undoubtedly made the group of goblin engineers anxious and restless, thinking that such a huge magic weapon construct forging plan would just go to waste.

But today, from the mouth of the crimson patriarch, they heard the news of the large magic furnace for the first time. This...how can they not be excited!

"A powerful Tier 4 magical puppet dragon!" The dean Gongga shouted wildly, pulling his neck: "Tier 4...it is Tier 4! It will definitely be able to sweep away all Tier 4 enemies for you..."

Seeing the old goblin who was shouting hoarsely and frothing, Greem couldn't help laughing secretly.

4th order...

I'm afraid this group of goblins who are used to being tigers in the family can't imagine how terrifying a real fourth-order creature is!

It thought those level 4 wizards would run up to the magic weapon puppet dragon with their battle axes like those stupid warriors to fight melee?

The power possessed by a real Tier 4 wizard has already exceeded the limits of ordinary imagination. And they must have a lot of means to deal with this clumsy and slow big guy.

So what if it's big enough? How about a solid body made of all magic metal?

If you meet a real level 4 wizard, you may only become a pitiful wooden stake. It is not a problem for the opponent to defeat the magical puppet dragon at all, the only problem is whether the opponent is willing to pay a huge price for cutting down a solid wooden stake.

Therefore, Greem was not bewitched by the old goblin's fanatical propaganda slogans. Instead, he had a far more accurate and deeper understanding of the magical puppet dragon than the old goblin!

"Level 4 magic mechanical construct? Good, very good..." Greem did not burst the illusory ideal bubble of the old goblin Gongga, but changed his tone: "Then, if you want to achieve this goal, what reality do you have?" Difficulties?"

"This..." The old goblin Gongga hesitated.

To create such a terrifying magical mechanical construct, even with the current strength of the Machinery City, it takes all efforts to achieve it. Not to mention technology and workers, there are hundreds of goblin transport teams for transporting iron ingots alone.

They constantly shuttle between the major mines every day, transporting the collected ore thousands of miles away to the Machinery City, and then process it one by one in the surrounding smelters, refineries, and purification workshops, and finally send it to the goblin technicians in their hands.

Subsequent smelting and forging of magic alloys are completed in small goblin laboratories, and the daily output is only a few hundred kilograms. In order to make up enough magic alloys for this magical puppet dragon, nearly a thousand goblin engineers and technicians worked day and night, and the number of goblins who died of exhaustion in the laboratory and console was already as high as a hundred.

And the reason why they are so desperate is not because they want to see with their own eyes a "god-level" magic weapon construct born in their own hands!

For some indigenous creatures who cannot step out of the plane world due to racial restrictions, level 4 is indeed already the strongest level inside the plane.

It is well-deserved to be called 'God'!

It is precisely because the goblins have paid so much for this that the old goblin Gongga is worried that the difficulties he raised will scare the young human wizard away.

"...We can solve other difficulties by ourselves. However, there are three problems that we, the goblins, will never be able to solve..."

"explain!"

"The first one is the issue of apprentice wizards. Although Master Wizard has sent us five apprentice wizards, under their guidance, we can also perform some etching work on rune lines. But the goblins who master this technology are still Too little, too little... At least, if you want to etch the rune lines inside this magical puppet dragon and the wizard formations with various functions, the number of wizard apprentices alone is far from enough..."

Greem pondered for a while, and quickly obtained some internal information about the family from the chip, and then answered the old goblin decisively.

"From the day after tomorrow, I will send you another 100 wizard apprentices from the family, and the number of wizards will also increase. Let them cooperate with you in your work..."

A burst of small cheers immediately erupted from the surrounding goblins!
