My Magic Age
Chapter 664 164. Strength and weakness
A metal box with mechanical drawings on the surface, it looks very old, the lines carved on the surface of the box are full of black oil stains and blood, its edges and corners have even been smoothed, and some lines have become blurred, but the anti-corrosion treatment of this metal box, which has been through who knows how many years, has made it have no trace of green rust.
Maybe the box was full of parchment drawings at the beginning, but now I asked people to pour all the gems in the box on the ground, but only found a single parchment paper at the bottom of the box, which was used to pad the bottom of the box to prevent those precious gems from bumping against it, so a drawing full of precision parts was buried at the bottom of the box.
Kalancuo squatted beside me, helped me fold the parts drawing in half, and then looked at me in surprise as I put away the parchment paper padding the bottom of the box like a treasure, and turned around and just randomly took out a white shirt from the magic waist bag, padding it in the box, and then ordered people to put the gems on the ground into the box.
She asked me puzzledly: "Is that magic scroll precious?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "To be precise, it should be a mechanical drawing, which describes in detail the processing process of a mechanical part. It should be a very old thing, with some reference value, but in fact, it is useless?"
Kalancuo helped me pick up a gem that rolled far away and threw it into the box, and then asked curiously: "Then why do you keep it like a treasure?"
I explained: "Its real value is not high, because there is only this one for the time being, but if you can put together a complete set of drawings, you can make some machines. Then it will be inestimable. The value of the quantity, it represents the peak technology of the goblin clan. But now, if there is only this one, then it only represents a long-forgotten history. "
In fact, what I really value is not this drawing, but the information it brings to me. This floating underground world may have some relics of goblin civilization, and this matter has been confirmed before. The magic hammer called "Time and Space Breaker", the altar with teleportation ability built by the goblins, and the directional teleportation portals connecting the floating mountains in the entire Xinliu Valley are enough to prove that these are relics left over from the goblin civilization period.
And now a metal box engraved with mechanical drawings and an unknown mechanical parts drawing have been found, which fully confirms that: in this time turbulence, some of the lost civilization of the goblins remains.
I shook my head and suppressed the complicated thoughts in my heart. It is urgent to deal with the chaos of the goblins first and drive them deeper into the cave.
…
I dusted off the dust on my body and stood up: "Okay, while we still have strength, let's go back to the underground warehouse to rest. In the underground cave, you will never feel how fast time passes!"
The original plan was to continuously clean up the goblins in the underground cave until the two passages from the warehouse to the blood pool and the warehouse to the underground entrance were completely opened, and all the goblin tribes living nearby were cleaned up.
But plans can never keep up with changes. I didn't expect that just cleaning up the goblins of the Danma tribe would make me and the orc warriors exhausted. We also have to transport so many magic red copper ingots back, so I think these orc warriors are not suitable for continuing to fight.
In order to prevent the corpse poison from rotting, which would cause the entire underground world to break out in the plague, we not only need to clean up the scene, but also be responsible for dealing with the bodies of these goblins. The only thing to be thankful for is that Jijilu allowed more than a hundred goblin slaves from the Danma tribe to stay. Now these goblin slaves are useful. They are responsible for lifting the bodies of the goblins together, and those bodies are directly piled into a small mountain in the cave.
Only the orc warrior Kentoya was left to spray some corpse fire oil on the corpse mountain and be responsible for the final cremation of these bodies. The rest of the orc warriors escorted more than a hundred goblins from the spiral tunnel dug by the goblins and returned along the original route.
Those goblin slaves carried a large number of seized magic red copper ingots and a whole box of magic gems that had not been polished. The skinny goblins were still commendable in terms of physical endurance. Each person carried ten copper ingots, weighing more than 80 kilograms, and could still silently follow the team forward. This shows that in the face of death, the potential of the goblins is still unlimited.
Kalu and two orc warriors have been guarding the exit at the other end of the tunnel. There are also more than a hundred corpses of goblin warriors piled up here. It can be seen that the battle is very tragic. It seems that one warrior was pierced in the neck by a blowgun and poisoned. However, because of sufficient preparation before departure and taking antidote in time, there is no serious problem.
The number of goblins running out here is much less than I expected. I don’t know why the goblins didn’t choose to escape from this tunnel at that time. Only more than a hundred goblin warriors chose to take the secret passage here. I can’t understand the goblins’ thoughts. Maybe they don’t know there is a secret passage here?
Just when I was suspicious, there was a shouting sound from the orcs in the tunnel. The last orc warrior Kentoya slipped out of the tunnel and was pulled up from the ground by his companions. He still carried the big oil tank behind him, but seeing his light steps, it is estimated that the corpse fire oil inside has run out!
He stood up from the ground, without bothering to pat the dust on his body, and said to me and Kalancuo: "The fire is burning again..."
Before he could finish his words, the wind in the cave was sucked into the tunnel by a huge suction force. The howling wind was like a terrifying eye of the wind, sucking all the air in the cave into it.
Luka, who was standing by, looked at Kentoya in surprise and asked him, "How big a fire did you light this time? Why is the ventilation force in the tunnel even greater than before?"
Kentoya touched his head in confusion, then shook his head and said, "I just sprinkled a little on it. There was not much corpse fire oil left in the oil barrel, so I didn't dare to use too much."
I couldn't explain the principle of combustion to them, so I could only say vaguely, "The first time, it was because of the ice wall blocking the hot air flow in the cave, which eventually led to a lack of air in the cave, and even the fire in the cave was extinguished in the end."
"And this time, I didn't erect the ice wall to block the air. All the hot air flowed upward along the cave. The terrain here is relatively low, so of course a lot of air will be sucked in and filled into the cave, forming such a huge suction force... Then the huge suction force prevented the goblins from escaping from the tunnel..." As I was talking, I suddenly realized why the goblins didn't take this tunnel. It was because when the fire started, this place was like a large eye of the wind, blocking the goblins' last retreat.
"These things can't be explained in a few words. I may be able to popularize these knowledge for you when I have time in the future, if you are willing to listen!" I felt very good when I said this.
Luka, Maggie, Kentoya and other orcs around me quickly hid away after hearing what I said!
For a while, only Kalancuo was left by my side. She smiled at me lightly, shrugged her shoulders and said to me: "In fact, we can talk about something else!"
...
War can easily destroy a goblin tribe of tens of thousands of people, and of course it can also bring me a lot of wealth, such as magic copper calculated by tonnage and a whole box of magic gems. The goblins did not dig gold and silver mines, so gold, silver, mithril, thorium, and fine gold were all invisible.
Because there is an extremely huge copper mine in the underground cave, magic copper is too common, so the goblins do not think that magic copper is valuable.
After transporting the magic copper ingots back to the underground cave warehouse, Jijilu took his goblin slaves away as soon as possible.
Of course, it also took the initiative to borrow four orc warriors from me to help it escort these goblin slaves. Of course, for me, there is another benefit, that is, to monitor Jijilu's actions. Jijilu promised me that he would bring back a team of goblin warriors to help us clean up the goblins from other tribes. However, it did so under a condition, that is, it wanted to capture more goblin slaves.
At the same time, Jijilu also had to bring the magic red copper that he owed me for buying the goblin slaves. Those goblin slaves could actually exchange for the magic red copper of the same weight, which was very unexpected. You know, in the slave market of the imperial capital, this price can even buy ten young human slaves.
Jijilu is much smarter than I thought, as if he could guess my thoughts. He knew that I was very worried about him, so he asked me to arrange four orc warriors to follow him, and then drove those goblin slaves back to his tribe like driving cattle, and of course those beautiful female goblins, but I don’t dare to compliment the aesthetics of the goblins.
Those magic copper ingots were moved into the warehouse piece by piece, and the whole box of magic gems was put into my magic waist bag. Those gems were basically some emerald green malachite stones, which are low-level magic gems, but they are also very valuable. Jewelers, alchemists, and magic pharmacists can use them. It is said that they can also be made into a solvent.
Taking advantage of the rest time of the orc warriors, I opened the teleportation gate. Kalancuo and I returned to the imperial capital. Luka did not go back with us. For him, squeezing through the teleportation gate is a very painful thing, and the door of the basement is smaller.
Compared with the embarrassment of squeezing through the door when returning to the imperial capital, the tauren Luka would rather squeeze together with the orcs and have a good sleep. Although victory comes easily, once the nerves relax, the fatigue is like a tide, surging over in waves.
And those killings impact the defense line of the heart of every orc warrior. Maybe lying in the corner and taking a good sleep can restore the irritable mood.
I never thought that the thick-skinned orc warriors would have such a strong reaction to war. This was beyond my expectation.
…
Kalancuo and I walked out of the basement and saw that it was pitch black outside the glass window, and the sky was full of stars. It was already night.
There were some parchment textbooks piled on the coffee table in the living room. A pencil rolled on the ground. After repeated corrections, there were still many math problems that were not calculated correctly. There were red pen words annotated by the teacher on them. Under the pen words, there were also notes and remarks recorded by Xiao Ella in Orcish. It seemed that she studied very hard, but her foundation was too poor.
There was also half a bowl of cold oatmeal porridge and half a piece of white bread on the dining table. Xiao Ella cleaned the kitchen very neatly, and the kitchen utensils and tableware were neatly arranged. Maybe she wanted to eat fried eggs tomorrow morning. An egg and a frying pan were placed on the stove, and there was a tightly bound magic scroll of "Fire Gathering" next to it.
Like an ordinary housewife, Kalancuo frowned slightly and looked at each room. Then he took off his leather armor, took out a suspender skirt from the closet and put it on, silently helping Xiao Ai. Laila tidied the messy textbooks on the coffee table and swept the carpet in the living room.
"Why don't you go see little Ella?" I asked while sitting on the sofa, unbuttoning the magic pattern construct.
Kalancuo knelt down in front of my feet and helped me take off my long leather boots and put on a pair of soft shoes.
From top to bottom, I could clearly see the pretty and round curves under the tulle skirt. She took a deep look at me, got up and put my long leather boots on the shoe rack at the door. When she saw those shoes They were all arranged neatly, with a look of relief on their faces.
Then, he walked towards little Ella's bedroom.
"You can have a good night's sleep here. Anyway, those orcs have to rest until at least tomorrow morning!" I followed behind Kalantso and said to her softly.
She listened, and I bumped into her broad and strong back unexpectedly. Maybe it was because we were too close when we were talking, and all my breath hit her face, making her face turn a little red. .
Pushing open the bedroom door, the curtains are not closed. Through the glass window, you can see the dim street lights on the back street. Little Ella is sleeping soundly on the quilt. There is a small forest on the cabinet next to the bed. Bow, her naughty little feet were exposed outside the quilt. Kalancso walked up gently and covered little Ella with the quilt. Little Ella woke up in a daze and put her hands around Kalantso's neck, murmuring. He shouted: "Grandma!"
Then, he fell asleep again.
Help them close the curtains and gently walk out of the bedroom.
Probably feeling that my body had become unnatural and very stiff, Kalancso sighed lightly and said: "Hey, Jijia, what kind of story did you experience in the wilderness to make your heart so solid?" Like iron?"
I turned my head and smiled at her, but then shook my head. I took out a magic scroll of 'Fire Gathering' from the magic belt bag on the side. I unfolded it at will and let it float on the water in the fish tank, a ball of scorching heat. The flames ignited in front of me, and then I stretched out my hands without changing my expression and placed them on the flames released by the magic scroll. Countless blisters were raised on my hands in an instant.
Kalancuo saw the strangest scene. The skin on my hands seemed to have been roasted. The red skin on the surface cracked, but a layer of new white and tender skin on the inside was constantly exposed. .
I said calmly: "When I open my eyes every morning, I will find myself lying on the back of the bumpy Thunder Rhinoceros, still moving forward non-stop. Then I am secretly glad that I am still alive, and then I will endure it all day long. My whole body was burned by this hot flame. During those days, I didn’t even know if I would suddenly fall asleep and never wake up again!”
"I am just like this, wandering on the edge of life and death, so since I was a child, I can face death calmly like an orc child. For orcs, death is just returning to the embrace of the beast god, but for me, death is nothing more than returning to the embrace of the beast god. It’s a relief, so I’m never afraid of death.”
"As for killing, once at the exit of the Road of Death, when I killed the first gray dwarf, I had a mental breakdown like Kentoa, and then an extremely beautiful red-haired girl used her warm chest to kill the cold Skin, she hugged me to sleep all night long, she kissed my forehead, dispelling the nightmares in my heart, not to mention, in my eyes, these goblins are no different from those jackals and kobolds..."
I spoke quietly and said...
…
I was awakened by the sound of hot oil, and the room was filled with the smell of fried eggs.
I was able to confirm that I did not cover myself with such a floral patterned blanket before falling asleep.
At this time, little Ella, with her hair disheveled, appeared in front of me neatly dressed. I glanced at Kalantso in my arms, looking slightly embarrassed, but Ella had a natural look on her face. She held two plates of fried rice. Eggs and two slices of white bread were placed on the coffee table in front of me.
Then he gave me a sweet smile and said to me in a very low voice: "Morning! It's really good to see you early in the morning. But I have to go to school now, remember to have some breakfast!"
He smiled playfully at me, revealing a cute little tiger tooth, and his big bright eyes were full of happiness. Then, under my slightly embarrassed gaze, he tiptoed and picked up a leather bag full of parchment books, pushing it with brisk steps. Opened the door and walked out.
The moment she opened the door, a glimmer of morning light shone in the room.
