Quantum Godhead

Dawn just appeared in the sky, and the steam area of ​​Rica City started a new busy day amidst the roar, but Nick seemed a little irritable and listless in the morning when he should be in a happy mood. Yesterday, the younger sister of the new city lord actually came to see him in person , asked to take an airship to the steam city around the mountains of Northridan, and this request made him sleepless all night.If it was in the past, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to show his favor to the new city owner, but now he is facing a big trouble, because of the scuffle that broke out in Rika City not long ago, the Northeridan Mechanics Association just sent several He was picked up by a senior engineer, and now he is the only senior technician left in the city. If he drives the airship and leaves, then if there is some kind of large-scale mechanical failure here, the other dwarves may not be able to fix it.Except for Nick, the other dwarves in Rika City have more or less insufficient driving experience in the war-torn zone, and letting them drive an airship into the conflict zone would be death.

But there is a bigger trouble, that damn goblin Marin is hiding in his house now!Nick forcefully unscrewed the geared safety door, and kicked open the door of the airtight safe room at home. Inside, a goblin wrapped in bandages was sleeping with an oxygen bottle. After being awakened by the sound of kicking the door, he got up in a panic. He was relieved to see that it was Nick who came in.

"Fresh air in the morning... How long has it been since I breathed this fresh air..." Goblin Marin sighed indistinctly. It was pure luck that he survived. The terrifying female necromancer As soon as the giant bone spur was released, he pressed the safety switch of the cab in time, and fell into the rescue cabin through the escape window opened under the seat, and then the huge bone spur narrowly missed him Fortunately, the female necromancer didn't know much about the structure of the harvester, otherwise, if he came to the rescue cabin casually, he would die so hard that he couldn't die anymore. After nailing the harvester in place, Marin still broke many bones due to inertia.

"I told you not to work for Algernon! But the golden coins blocked your ears, so that you couldn't hear anything..." Nick pulled Marin's bandage and found the goblin's expression Not much changed, so he began to remove the bandages: "The fracture is healed, Marin, and now I have encountered a lot of trouble. I remember that you have a lot of experience in piloting steam airships?"

"Yes, old friend, my driving experience is very, very rich, so rich that I can go shopping in the land of disputes! Do you want to give me a new job?" Goblin Marin asked expectantly, and then he added: "Of course, as an experienced driver, I have certain requirements for salary. Old friend, you know that I just went bankrupt, and my harvester worth thousands of gold coins has been destroyed..." Goblin said here I couldn't help crying loudly.

Nick hit Marin's head hard with a wrench to stop the goblin's dry howl, and then continued: "I just have a new job here, helping me to fly the airship, sending the new city lord's sister, Ms. Mr. Emma who killed Algernon and the two necromancers were sent to the steam city around the mountain in Northeredan."

The goblin Marin looked at Nick stiffly when he heard the words, he hugged the dwarf technician's legs desperately, and cried louder: "No... no... no... old friend, you You must be joking! This is killing me! Those two necromancers... those elves... no, that Amarr..."

"You think people would care about such a small character like you!" Nick interrupted the goblin with a sneer, raised a little finger and continued, "You are just a small person of no importance, Marin, if those big people want you Just check the wreckage of the harvester. But people don't want to waste time at all, and they don't care whether you are dead or alive."

"Of course I understand." Goblin Marin muttered, "But they shouldn't mind killing me after seeing me. That harvester belongs to me, and many people in this city know it."

"So you have to show your worth and win the understanding of the big shots, Marin, you can only do this!" Nick tore off the goblin's bandage, and said with a blank expression: "I tell you the truth, now I can't do without Here! And Ms. Glenya is about to set off, I will throw you in front of them, if they are not satisfied with you, I will drive it myself, and then you will show yourself."

"You are too cruel...old friend...you just throw a sheep that has no resistance into the lions?" Marin wailed, "Nick! You can't do this! I will Torn apart..."

"If I were you, old man, now I should think about how to best show my driving ability instead of rolling all over the floor." Nick said indifferently, and then kicked the goblin out of the safety door outside.

Heras looked at the gnomes busy in the morning light with interest, and some goblins mixed with them. These two races have a considerable degree of research on engineering technology, so they often hire each other. Those engineering technology products are as follows: Although his vision seems to be very backward, as a steam civilization, it is already very developed. It is impossible for such a developed steam civilization to appear in the process of human technological civilization in the federal universe, because it has not waited for the steam civilization to develop to this level. The level has already entered the electrical age, and all those steam technologies have been eliminated.

Since the universe where the Anfalon plane is located is quite different from the universe where the Federation is located, and the composition of the universes is not exactly the same, the progress of civilization cannot be consistent. Can, and the races that can control magic energy have all chosen the path of magic civilization without exception, and dismiss natural electricity. The inertia of this civilization undoubtedly greatly limits the development of technology in the magic universe. It is not easy for a weak race of strength to achieve this level.

But the steam civilization of the gnomes is not a pure technological civilization. Although they do not know magic, they live in a magical world, and all kinds of technological products will more or less use magic resources. Many enchanting materials and magic devices in gnome projects come from For humans, elves and other races that have a deep study of magic, this determines that if they want to develop, they must communicate with the mainstream civilization of the world.

"They were born in the wrong place. If in the universe of the Federation, this intelligent race will exude their true brilliance." Heras looked at those precision instruments and engineering parts that could hardly exist in the steam age, and felt in his heart He sighed sincerely.In this endless plane of the magical universe, apart from him, there is probably no one else who knows how brilliant a technological civilization can reach. It is a brilliance that even the Pillars of the Void can't imagine, and even the gods of the plane can't match The computing and analysis capabilities, as well as the extreme destructive power attached to technology...

"If there is a chance, I don't mind letting the residents of the magic universe watch that kind of power..." Heras casually pulled the metal staff in his hand, thinking maliciously.

After waiting for a while, they saw Nick hurrying over. The dwarf senior technician was followed by two steam spider maintenance machines, one of which had a goblin with a mournful face firmly clamped on its maintenance mechanical arm.

"Dear guests, let me introduce this experienced airship pilot." Nick waved his hand to signal the maintenance machine to put the goblin down, and continued: "He is an advanced construction machinery registered by the Northridan Association of Mechanics. Operator, Marin."

Although the gold content of the title of mechanical operator is far less than that of an engineering technician, after all, those who can use it are definitely not as good as those who can make it, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for a professional operator to operate engineering equipment.

"Because he was employed by the gang boss some time ago, he drove the harvester and made some actions against you. Of course, this is just an unintentional mistake. I hope you can understand..." Nick saw that there was no reaction from the crowd, Then added.

"This stupid goblin is lucky." Edwin said lightly when he heard the words, Marin was hired by Algernon, she naturally recognized it, but the necromancer did not intend to kill him, and Glenn Ya Knowing who this goblin is, naturally he will not express any opinions.

After Marin was thrown on the ground, he kept trembling and covering his head. Seeing that the big shots didn't kill him casually, the goblin opened his eyes and glanced up carefully, he was relieved. It's a bit self-indulgent, people don't take him seriously at all...

Immediately, Marin felt that the vitality returned to his body, he bounced up energetically, and said happily: "Nick is right, everyone, the land of disputes is like my back garden, even if I don't navigate You can come and go freely!"

Glennya frowned slightly when she heard this obviously irrelevant bragging. Nick immediately noticed the displeasure of his employer. He quickly explained: "Marin's experience is indeed rich. There are omissions and contradictions in the incoming war intelligence, and he can make correct judgments based on his own experience."

"It's just him." Heras had no objection to this. The flexible movements of the giant harvester left him with some impressions. This kind of combat machinery should be much more difficult to operate than an airship.

"As you can see, honorable sir, I am a senior construction machinery operator, officially registered! So the cost of employment is... oh! Nick!" Goblin Marin hadn't finished asking for the price , and hit the dwarf with a wrench on the head.

Nick looked at this damn goblin absurdly, this is simply a model of money before life... He was about to say something to make it up, the Amarr took out twenty gold coins and threw it in front of the goblin, He said lightly: "This is just a deposit, but if you fail to satisfy us..."

"My driving skills are absolutely satisfactory to you, sir!" Before Heras could finish speaking, Marin put away the gold coins with lightning speed and took the lead towards the airship terrace.

The dwarf Nick looked at the Amarrian in surprise. He was very surprised by the scholar's behavior, and then he solemnly asked: "Distinguished guest Emma, ​​although you come from an ancient and powerful country, the Land of Disputes Residents have no respect for the elven empire that is right in front of them, and Emma is far away. Although the steam city around the mountains of Northeridan is relatively stable, it is in a land of disputes after all, and there is no crime in that city This kind of statement. If you have a good relationship with the guild of mechanics, you will not be punished no matter what you do. On the contrary, if you have a slightly worse relationship with the guild of mechanics, then the guild can punish anyone at will, so I hope you will exercise restraint there .”

"Thank you for your reminder, Nick." Heras thanked noncommittally. Of course, he would not ask for trouble, but if trouble came to him, it would be a good measure of restraint...
