The Wizarding Age

Dean City.

This is a public city directly managed by the Witch Council and an important gateway to and from the North.

As the Goblin Business Association intends to expand its business channels in the North, this is undoubtedly a place where they focus on operating.

Flor returned here with a goblin caravan.

Although the entire North is still safe, the goblins who are under the banner of the Crimson Family are subordinate forces of the Witch of Destiny anyway, so they will also be challenged by the Winter Witch during the war.

Therefore, it is safer for goblins to follow those goblin caravans armed with magic weapons when they travel everywhere.

With the magic badge of the Crimson Family, Flor entered Dean City smoothly.

At the corner of the street, Flor waved goodbye to Father Tok of the goblin caravan, crossed three streets in one breath, and then came to the store opened by the Goblin Business Association here.

The main business of these shops is slave trading, cargo transportation, mining and logging, and they also secretly engage in poaching and arms trading.

However, magic ray guns, magic cannons, metal magic equipment and other materials are all extraordinary items that the Northland witches ordered to prohibit the sale, so in order to avoid angering the rulers, the goblin merchants can only sell some ordinary weapons such as goblin muskets and alchemy in a low-key manner.

At present, the great goblin leader Kirby is contacting the witches in Dean City, trying to obtain the right to sell extraordinary items. However, the progress is not very smooth. It seems that those witches intend to put this matter on hold until the results of the witch war come out before making a decision.

This undoubtedly makes Kirby very crazy!

But what makes it even more crazy is that the plenipotentiary envoy it sent, Flor, brought back a piece of bad news.

The goblin Roca, who had just been promoted to a magic mechanic, actually chose to join the White Tower and became a contracted wizard there. This blow is undoubtedly too big for Kirby!

After hearing Flor's report, Kirby immediately walked around the room in annoyance, cursing loudly the ignorant goblin "traitor".

As a goblin, he didn't help the goblins to expand their industries, but ran to the human wizard tower to eat and wait for death... He is really a scum among the goblins!

But no matter how he cursed, he couldn't change a cruel reality.

The current Goblin Business Federation is too unattractive for powerful wizards!

So far, the Goblin Business Federation has set up contact points in more than 30 cities in the wizard continent, opened shops in hundreds of cities, and has 127 goblin caravans of all sizes.

Roughly speaking, Kirby's armed forces have reached more than 10,000 people, and the number of metal magic machines has reached 600.

However, the total number of wizards and apprentices he has is only more than 30. 90% of them are wizard apprentices, and there are only 2 real wizards, and they are all 1st-level wandering wizards.

Although the Goblin Business Association is a subsidiary of the Crimson Family, it can apply for formal wizard protection from the Crimson Family headquarters when it encounters a crisis. But this is not their own power after all, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Many times, the goblin engineers sent to the depths of the Black Forest to explore the mineral veins can only rely on bulky magic machinery for protection.

This undoubtedly caused a huge loss of elite talents in the Goblin Business Association!

However, no matter how harsh the situation is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, the goblin Kirby has not given up his determination to expand his power and expand his network.

Traveling around, contacting local power holders, and bribing and luring them in order to obtain the rights to certain goods or special goods business licenses.

And what Kirby can take out are naturally those war slaves with alien characteristics.

Although most of the Faen elves fell into the hands of the family wizards, Kirby still got some defective products through his own channels. Using them as a stepping stone, Kirby successfully took over five northern witch cities.

However, in Dean City, where its business layout was the most important, Kirby suffered a Waterloo.

After accepting three level 2 dragons, two Faun male elves, and 100 strong ogre slaves, the damned 3rd-level witch of the Death Department, the acting city lord, still did not agree to the goblin's request.

Later, Kirby found out through other channels that this 3rd-level death witch was actually on good terms with the Winter Witch Department. No wonder the other party has been dragging the Goblin Business Association's commodity business license and not letting go!

If the Goblin Business Association had not been under the golden signboard of the Fate Witch Department, I'm afraid the acting city lord would have sent troops to arrest them all.

Now, Kirby is angry, and Flor brought back another bad news. No wonder Kirby cursed and was furious!

In fact, the current Goblin Business Association is not a whole, but a union of four or five goblin forces. Among them are the Blackwater chaebol that specializes in slave trading, venture capital companies that are good at mining and logging, and the Mussen Merchants that like arms trading...

The reason why Kirby was able to win over these goblin chaebols and merchant groups is because of his good personal friendship with the various wizard classes of the Crimson Family. However, once it makes obvious mistakes in major business activities, the chaebols and merchant leaders who are eyeing it will all be eager to replace it.

This is actually what Kirby is most worried about and has the most headaches!

It was so eager to master a powerful wizard force in order to deter those ambitious people who were ready to make a move. Unfortunately, it failed in the first step it took!

…………

Throne of Fire.

Alchemy Laboratory.

In a burst of sizzling welding arcs, the all-metal exoskeleton combat assistance system has gradually taken shape.

From the appearance, this is a huge steel armor with an all-metal structure. Because it uses magic iron alloy, the armor shines with a faint blue light. There is a long exhaust port at the back of the armor, which keeps swallowing and spitting out white steam visible to the naked eye.

At each joint, there are huge metal gears and turntables that are tightly meshed together.

Every step forward of the metal armor, these gears and turntables begin to spin wildly. The force field generators placed in various parts of the body can open an independent force field shield, or they can be integrated together to form a full-cover protective force field.

The weapons mounted on the surface of the armor include both extremely fast-firing energy ray guns and large-power range magic cannons. Inside the hollow cavity wall of the armor, a three-dimensional mysterious witch array is filled with it, and a crystal clear elemental magic puppet crystal core is inlaid on the node of the witch array.

For all-metal magic machines like this, the power source in the past was all magic batteries.

In the absence of a small magic furnace, this kind of magic machine needs to retreat and replace the magic battery every half an hour of fighting. This may not be a big problem in low-intensity small battles, but in high-intensity and high-intensity wars, it has become the biggest obstacle to the use of magic machines.

Now, Grimm is trying to combine the elemental magic puppet with the metal magic machine. Let the elemental magic puppet have a full metal shell to protect its fragile core, and let the metal magic machine have a beating elemental heart.

After several preliminary experiments, the theoretical idea is completely feasible.

However, the high-level elemental magic machine built by Grimm himself uses the best materials and resources, so the cost of each one is staggeringly high. If you want to manufacture on a large scale, the three technologies of high magic alloy, energy effect and witch spirit need to be further improved and optimized.

Grimm personally controlled the scorching rays to weld the last core part of the elemental magic machine, closed the metal hatch under its chest with force, stepped back a few steps, and communicated with the chip to find no problems before giving it the order to start the elemental magic machine.

"Ding, the elemental magic machine start-up order has been issued..."

"System self-checking..."

"Protection force field is normal..."

"Elemental furnace has started to operate... After inspection, it is running well... Output power is normal..."

"The magic energy transmission system is supplying energy to each functional area, and the feedback result is good..."

"The power armor auxiliary system is online, the signal is excellent... Start functional testing..."

As the complex and meticulous magic energy system began to operate, the entire 2-meter-high elemental magic machine slowly moved its body and stood up from the floor.

It seemed that a huge fireball was stuffed under its thick chest, spewing out red flames and scorching heat waves. The extremely pure flame energy flowed out from the magic puppet crystal core, lighting up the entire body of the elemental magic machine layer by layer.

The magic iron alloy, which was originally filled with faint blue light, began to become red and hot under the infusion of powerful flame energy, just like a huge fire man just fished out of the underground lava sea.

Kaka...

With heavy steps, this elemental magic machine strode forward under the control of the chip, while moving forward, raising the two magic ray guns in his hands and shooting quickly.

A series of red rays crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters, hitting the stone wall of the witch tower crackling, leaving a 10-centimeter shallow pit with a thickness of one finger. You know, the walls inside the witch tower are protected by magic energy. Ordinary attacks hit the walls and cannot damage the walls without penetrating the magic protection.

The energy ray gun of this elemental magic machine can make a 10-centimeter shallow pit on the wall of the alchemy laboratory. In the outside world, it is enough to penetrate all the armor of the human army.

The data collected by the chip shows that after being powered by the magic puppet crystal core, the attack power of this high-intensity magic ray gun has reached 260 degrees. In the wizard group, it is equivalent to a powerful attack of a 2nd-level wizard!

After testing the ray gun, Grimm directed the elemental magic machine to test the magic cannon on its back. The elemental magic machine knelt down, and the magic cannon slid to its shoulder and locked it. After 3 fingers, a dazzling red fireball shot out from it, blasting one wall of the laboratory into a charred black.

420 degrees!

Seeing the energy intensity fed back by the chip, Grimm finally smiled.

It is worthy of being the first elemental magic machine that he spent 350,000 magic crystals to create. Its original attack power is second to none even among 2nd-level wizards. Even in some cases, it can pose a certain threat to level 3 wizards!
