Chapter 0908: Duffland City
The silver-white Chiva streaked leisurely across the sky.
It was afternoon, and the sky was full of flocculent, light clouds.
With the turbulent air jets from the bottom of the cruising mothership, the white clouds were torn apart and crushed, dragging a cloud path that stretched for miles behind them.
At the far end of the sky, the sunset is only half above the forest sea, and the refreshing and gentle breeze blows on the face, giving people a warm and peaceful taste.
The cruising mothership is far larger than the previous floating giant, and there is enough space the size of two football fields on the deck at this moment. But there are only a dozen or so people who can move freely on it. Most of them were apprentice wizards who accompanied the ship, and the rest were mercenaries and merchants who went to Duffland to earn a living.
The 'King of Destruction', a small magic weapon more than a meter tall, circled around Locke like a stupid metal puppet, turning left and right, and occasionally touching him lightly with a metal hand like pincers. And its mouth can't help but 'grunt', mixed with the sound of metal gears, shafts, and levers on its body, giving people a sense of noise and noise.
Don't look at the appearance of the 'Destruction King' is inconspicuous, and even a little tattered, and most of his body is not covered by a metal shell. However, it is the goblin magician Locke's most important combat partner.
When encountering battle, the Wrecking King can quickly change his size under Locke's control, switching to real combat mode. At that time, it was 3 meters tall, and its body was densely covered with wildly rotating blades and energy light blades, and it was no weaker than those melee magic weapons when it charged.
When necessary, it can also switch to long-range sniper mode and cover enemies with a large Magic Ray Gun and an improved Goblin Rocket.
Therefore, at least seventy percent of the attack power that Goblin Mechanic Locke can exert comes from this crazy and tattered monster machine on the outside.
Above Locke's head, a half-meter-diameter floating disc was still suspended silently.
At this moment, he was not in a state of battle, so the blade wheel on the edge of the floating disc was withdrawn from his body, and only a metal eyeball poked out from under his body, looking around randomly.
Thanks to the addition of the Magic Furnace inside, the energy is fully supplied, so the cruise mothership still has the spare strength to raise a transparent force field around the hull to protect it from the oncoming high-altitude winds. Otherwise, ordinary humans like mercenaries and merchants would simply not be able to gain a foothold on the flight deck.
Not to mention the typhoon-level high-altitude winds, the temperature loss caused by the air flow alone is enough to freeze a person into a popsicle.
But now, these human mercenaries and merchants were able to roam the flight deck with grace, occasionally leaning down to gaze at the fleeting forest landscape below. That kind of comfort, that kind of leisure, you can't enjoy it anywhere else!
Just as Wizard Locke set up his chaise longue and coffee table, enjoying his afternoon tea, a slender and tall beautiful figure blocked his vision.
"Hey, little Locke, you're lazy here again......"
You don't have to open your eyes, just listen to the soft and sweet voice to know that the person who is coming is your new partner, the magic archer Shanduo.
In the last battle in the Duffland Basin, due to Locke's desperate rescue, the magic archer Shando was not injured in the hands of the ferocious monster. So as soon as the battle was over, Sandor invited Locke to the bar for a night of drinking.
After going back and forth, the two turned out to be friends and partners across races.
Pushing the dark green goggles, revealing his handsome and charming little eyes, little Locke waved his little fist angrily.
"Stand on the side, tall man, you're blocking my rays!"
"Cut, just your rough skin, it's useless to bask in the sun for a long time......"
"You care about me......" Little Locke turned over comfortably, letting the warm and beautiful sunlight evenly sprinkle on his back: "If you don't take care of your face with your own group of sisters, it must be no good for you to come to me suddenly...... Say, what do you want to do?"
"Or do you know me, hee-hee...... Gregies, have you ever heard that there is another group of Cato Brepas running near Duffland City......"
"What?Cato Brepas?" said little Locke, a spirit, who got up from his recliner, "Where?
Cato Brepas is an ugly monster with a boar-like head and a pair of antlers. His thick, hard, stiff skin was covered with thorns, and his short, thick limbs were covered with strange horse hooves.
Under normal circumstances, an adult Cato Brepas is nothing more than a Tier 1 monster. If it weren't for their gregarious nature, they wouldn't be powerful monsters at all.
During this time, little Locke was also constantly improving his combat weapons, and the pair of antlers on Cato Brepas's head was a material he was desperately looking for. Although the goblin shop in the White Tower had stock, the price made him scratch his head in every way. If you can hunt a group by yourself as much as you can, then thousands of magic crystals can be saved.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the news of Shanduo, little Locke immediately became agitated.
"Tell me quickly, where are those guys hiding? I've hired two expeditions, but they haven't been found, where did you get the news?
In the face of Xiao Locke's series of questions, Shanduo stretched her beautiful body in the sunshine, and said with a smile: "You don't care how I got the news, you just say whether you are going or not, right?"
Little Locke hesitated for a moment: "Do you have any other conditions?" Let's hear about it first......
"Of course those idiots are hiding in the stinking swamp, and if you want me to accompany you to that disgusting place, you have to accompany me to catch a mandala grass first......"
Little Locke instantly understood: "No wonder you came to me." The Mandala Grass is a poisonous strain that is also adept at manipulating vines and plant rhizomes, and only a metal golem like the King of Destruction can restrain it...... Well, deal, that's it!"
Hearing little Locke's promise, Shanduo immediately showed a happy look on her face.
Although the mandala grass is highly poisonous and full of viscous sap-like blood, it is also an extremely valuable alchemy ingredient, and the resulting liquid can be used as a material for exploration. Sell them to the Witch of Destiny, and the price will definitely not be low.
After the two negotiated the terms, Shanduo was happy for a while, lifted little Locke up and spun around, kissed him before putting it down, and swayed away with elegant and graceful cat steps.
And two red clouds immediately floated on Little Locke's green little face.
By this time, the cruising mothership had already flown over the Dofland Basin.
The huge hull of the ship obscured the small half of the sky, and several three-headed vultures and a flock of giant white birds spread their wings and fled into the distance. The sound of wild beasts running and chasing could be faintly heard in the dark and gloomy black forest, and the nearby mountains and forests became frightened.
It was impossible for a cruising mothership of such a large size to descend to the ground, and when it smoothly lowered its hull and suspended a hundred meters above the Duffland Basin, dozens of goblin airships of different shapes flew up from the flight deck and slowly landed in a steam roar towards the basin below.
And on top of them, there are nearly a hundred human mercenaries and merchants, as well as a staggering amount of building materials.
At this moment, the Duffland Basin has become a huge construction site.
As many as two hundred engineering magic weapons, under the command and control of the goblins, are working hard to level the land and cut down the trees. Thick logs hugging two or three people have been piled up into a hill in the corner of the basin, and in a huge clearing that has been cleared, tall buildings full of metalpunk style are rising from the ground.
As the construction party, the goblins wore hard hats and commanded a series of engineering magic machines to enter and exit the site, everywhere was foggy dust, everywhere was noisy construction site, and the entire Duffland Basin was about to boil.
The Chiva cruiser travels twice a day between the White Tower and the 'city' of Duffland, bringing in a large amount of construction supplies and necessities. Therefore, its arrival has also made the Duffland Basin more lively.
As soon as he led the King of Destruction and the Clever Ghost to step out of the goblin airship, Wizard Locke was stopped by the goblin chief in a crisp uniform, Jikhir.
"Mistress Locke, if you have time, you'd like to make a trip to Papa Mazik's, it seems to have something to do with you. In addition, the director of the venture capital firm Solbin is also looking for you, saying that the Mithril ingot you ordered has arrived......"
Shando, who was standing beside Locke, was not interested in listening to the trivial trivia between these goblins, and stabbed him with her hand.
"Looks like you're going to be busy for a while...... Remember, come to me tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, where...... You should know......" With that, Shanduo, the magic archer, swayed and left.
Because the construction site was too noisy, the blood elves stationed in the Duffland Basin had opened a small camp in the Black Forest to the west, so it was only natural that Shando would go there to meet some of her sisters when she came here.
To be honest, it is extremely convenient and convenient to have some like-minded clansmen in a large force. At the very least, Shanduo has a lot more intelligence information than little Locke.
After little Locke and Shando waved goodbye, they grabbed a little goblin with their head only to their chest to lead the way. With his current prestige, there are almost no goblins in the entire goblin camp who don't know him.
The little goblin is obviously one of many young juniors sent out by the goblin plane to learn, and Wizard Locke is undoubtedly its idol in the depths of his heart. So bouncing around, the little goblin took Wizard Locke to the goblin shop opened by Daddy Mazik.
Locke hesitated in the low, narrow doorway of the shop, and finally stepped inside......
