The Wizarding Age

Goblin plane, Mechanical City.

As the place where the magic machinery technology of the entire goblin plane is concentrated, Mechanical City has become the dream city that all goblin engineers and technicians eagerly look forward to and yearn for.

This was originally a private territory of Princess Vanessa of the Goblin Empire, but since the foreign wizards came to this world, it has become the place where wizards stationed and opened laboratories.

A wizard tower rose from the ground and became the most conspicuous and eye-catching landmark here!

Originally out of fear of evil wizards, no goblin civilians and freelancers were willing to provide services for these guys who deprived them of their racial plane ruling rights. But as time passed, a decade or two passed, and the old generation of goblins who were full of fear of the brutality and evil of the wizard invasion process gradually aged and died.

Although the new generation of goblins who grew up still disliked wizards, the memory of the brutality of wizards in their minds became vague and ambiguous.

Correspondingly, there are always some guys who are willing to cater to the changes in the world. They excitedly ran to the wizard's tower to join the wizard, and became the minions and representatives of the wizards stationed in various places. And they quickly turned from an ordinary goblin into a magic warrior that everyone respected, with a powerful strength that crushed ordinary goblin mechanical warriors.

Moreover, during the period when the beautiful and gentle wizard Meryl ruled the goblin plane, her gentle and friendly attitude also greatly resolved the hostility of the goblin nobles. Especially those life potions, beauty potions, charm brooches, instant magic wands, witchcraft scrolls, elemental amulets that continued to flow from the wizard world...

These are super luxury goods that the upper-class goblin nobles flock to, and they have an irresistible and powerful attraction for the goblins whose lifespan is only 20 to 30 years. In addition, the goblin great sage Kirby kept calling loudly for believers not to resist the rule of wizards by violent means, but to engage in dialogue and trade with each other under certain conditions.

Such an argument undoubtedly conforms to the ideas of the upper-class goblins, so some large business groups and chaebols also took the initiative to join the team of partners. The existence of wizards and the identity of rulers were gradually accepted and acquiesced by all goblins under the education and guidance day after day.

As the most charming ruler, Witch Meryl has unparalleled influence in the goblin plane. Under her call and personal practice, a huge mechanical city rose from the ground outside the wizard's residence, and the wizard tower was guarded in the center of the city in the way of many stars surrounding the moon.

The new city is a typical steel city and a magic machine city!

Here, there are no wooden or stone buildings at all, and metal fortresses made of high-strength alloys stand tall everywhere. In the city, the running and shuttling are not livestock such as carriages and pack animals, but goblin chariots or mechanical landers with thick steam.

Almost all those who can settle in the mechanical city are professionals with special abilities in metal forging or magic machine manufacturing. They belong to more than a dozen goblin business groups or chariots of different sizes, and their main business is cross-plane resource and material transactions.

During the period when Witch Meryl was in charge of the Mechanical City, she established strict trade regulations. Even those wizards who wanted to obtain resources from the Goblin Plane had to exchange them with magic crystals or witchcraft items of "equal value". Of course, the prices of all transactions were jointly set by the Crimson Wizard and the Goblin nobles after consultation.

And Witch Meryl's more clever move was to accept Princess Vanessa, who was deeply loved by all the goblins, as her foreign disciple, and announced that she would be the permanent controller of the Mechanical City, and would not be affected by the replacement of the resident wizards.

This point has greatly captured the hearts of the moderate goblins!

After Witch Meryl, the second permanent resident of the Goblin Plane was her disciple, the Wind Wizard Desela.

Because of the same lineage, Desela naturally would not change the ruling model created by his teacher too much. Therefore, during the twenty years when the Crimson Wizard ruled the Goblin Plane, the goblins also changed the previous ruling structure centered on the Goblin Royal Family, and gradually transferred the dominance of the plane to this booming Mechanical City.

It was afternoon, and the warm sunshine poured down from the sky, shining the metallic mechanical city with golden light.

Princess Vanessa stood quietly on the open-air balcony on the seventh floor of the tower, silently looking down at the metal buildings and pedestrians coming and going on the wide streets.

As the red mechanical eyes in her delicate eye sockets kept slightly adjusting, she could even see the appearance and expressions of pedestrians on the street from a distance of three or four miles. On their faces, there was no misery and misery after being ruled by evil wizards. Instead, everyone was busy, as if they were working hard for a better and happy future.

Can the tribesmen enslaved and ruled by aliens also have happiness?

Vannessa tilted her delicate head, and her little head full of mechanical gears and magical energy was full of incomprehensible confusion and confusion.

Since her accidental death in the Iron City, her soul has been preserved by wizards. Later, in order to win over Tigule and the goblin royal family, the wizards used some evil means to infuse her soul into a completely metal body.

And she also used this method to achieve the immortality that most of the goblin nobles dreamed of!

Once upon a time, Princess Vanessa, who loved her people and wanted to lead the goblin tribe to prosperity, was in agony and wanted to end her boring immortality countless times. Unfortunately, her strange metal body made her an almost immortal monster.

Knife, couldn't cut...

Arrows, couldn't penetrate...

Starved to death, she didn't need any food except absorbing some magic energy...

Suffocated, she almost never breathed since her rebirth...

Jumped off the building, the body made of super alloy was quickly completely destroyed, even if it was really broken, the wizards replaced her with a new body and resurrected her again...

After a period of painful and dark suffering, with the encouragement of Tigule and many supporters, Princess Vanessa finally accepted her new body and started a new life.

Living in the wizard tower, learning new knowledge from the wizard world every day, and understanding the strange plane world outside... For the first time, Vanessa suddenly became clear!

Although she loved her people and this world in the past, she was undoubtedly a complete frog in a well. She was closed and self-contained, numb to herself, and used the so-called "love" to confine her people in a narrow, closed and lonely world.

Sooner or later, a world like theirs will be found by aliens, and there is no so-called friendship and harmony between the planes. There are only the interests of the red fruit and the unrestrained force.

In contrast, the wizards who invaded the goblin plane were willing to adopt a gentle means of ruling them, which... is actually the greatest happiness for the goblins!

For some reason, after being opened up by the novel and vast knowledge of the other world, Vanessa became crazy about the combination of machinery and magic. With her encouragement and promotion, a large number of little goblins were selected and became apprentices of the newly established magic machinery department in the mechanical city, and a large number of goblin engineers also changed their careers to study magic machinery.

As she was looking down at this strange city that represented the combination of goblins and wizards, two goblin maids came behind her and bowed.

"Princess, Lord Schroeder wants to see you!"

Schroeder was the Minister of Finance of the Mechanical City. He came to see him, either to request a magic crystal grant or to apply for a magic energy research project. In the final analysis, it still depends on the source of magic energy.

Most of the goblins are magic insulators and cannot sense the existence of elemental particles at all. So if they want to study magic energy, they can only rely on the magic power generated by decomposing magic crystals for in-depth research. As for the Quelus alloy that can make space furnaces, since it is all controlled by wizards, ordinary goblins have no chance to touch it.

Back then, when the Mechanical City was first established, Witch Meryl also took great pains to apply for a space furnace from the wizard high-level as the power source of the Mechanical City. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking to support such a huge mechanical city with only the consumption of magic crystals.

However, if a space furnace wants to drive the development of the entire mechanical city, the allocation of magic energy becomes increasingly important. 106 metal blast furnaces in the mechanical city need energy, 27 smelting plants need energy, and 32 casting workshops need energy...

In addition, there are a lot of research departments such as magic alloy refining workshops, metal ratio laboratories, magic machinery research institutes, and magic weapon development centers waiting for the mechanical city to allocate some magic energy for continued research.

In this situation of severe shortage of magic energy, Princess Vanessa can only try her best to apply for the rest from the wizards.

Fortunately, there is Tigule. As the controller of the 2nd-level magic machinery goblin tearer, it also has a considerable status within the Crimson Family. The batch of magic crystals it sends back to the mechanical city every month or so has become a scarce resource that many goblin engineers and technicians have scrambled for.

At this moment, these usually righteous little greenskins can quarrel in the city council, and even fistfights have broken out in recent times. This chaotic scene undoubtedly made Princess Vanessa feel more depressed, and she could only sneak here to see the scenery.

Unfortunately, as the "surface" ruler of the mechanical city, she still had to face the hungry appetites who were in urgent need of resources and energy everywhere.

Perhaps, I have to find a way to meet that powerful wizard once...
