Chapter 0296: Magical Energy
It was a full two hours before Grim came out of the wizarding tower of the rat-man councillor Pero.
On the way back to the Byron family's residence, Wizard Nanali stared at Grim and said calmly: "If you still have the Void Stone in your hand, our Byron family is willing to buy it at a very high price, and it is guaranteed that it will satisfy you!"
was stared at by the other party as if it were a substance, even with Grim's calm skills, his forehead was sweating at the moment. However, he could still restrain himself, and reluctantly smiled: "My lord, my Void Stone is still a trophy after just participating in the Plane War. It was because I was not familiar with its features that I recklessly conducted a test. As for the consequences, you also see ......"
After saying that, Grim's face showed a look of regret and chagrin.
Wizard Nanali looked at Grim calmly, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and did not continue.
The atmosphere in the car was quite awkward for a while.
When they returned to the station, they found that calm had returned.
The battle team sent by the Sky Guard has long since been evacuated, the garrison has long since returned to normal, and even the damaged ground has been releveled and restored by the wizards left behind.
The 2% share of resources promised by Ratman Councillor Pyro may sound small, but it is enough to make the Byron family a big belly and become one of the top shops in the 12th District. Therefore, as soon as Nanali returned to the station, she gathered all the family wizards and began to make some appropriate arrangements for the subsequent development.
Of course, in private, Nanali would definitely question the Angus wizard in detail again. Information inquiries about Grim will also be transmitted to the central part of the continent through some secret channels.
But all this is destined to be in vain. Because of the speed of Grim's rise, I'm afraid most of the scattered Tallinn families have never heard of this name. Even Grim's other popular "Fire Demon" title only has a little influence around Federnand City.
In addition, it is extremely difficult for anyone to pick up a little bit of fierce material.
After all, with the fall of the Swamp Tower, all his apprentices who knew about his past have become dry bones, and everything that happened in the Enchanted Swamp will be overshadowed by time.
However, at this moment, Grim is no longer able to comprehend the subtle psychological changes of the Byron family towards him.
As soon as he returned to the station, the first thing he did was to summon Kirby, the goblin, into the room, and the two of them confronted each other to discuss secretly.
When the dense sorcery protection covered the entire room, Grim glared at Kirby with an ugly face and said sharply, "Say! What did you get by stabbing me in this big basket this time?"
But then Grim was shocked by what Kirby had brought out.
Magic mecha crafting blueprints!
A sample of a magic cannon and a blueprint!
7 high-purity elemental crystal nuclei!
Ignoring the goblin Kirby, Grim's eyes flashed blue, and the chip scanned the production drawings into his mind in the shortest possible time, and began a rapid holographic modeling based on the data on the drawings.
Soon, a 100-meter-tall, furious energy engine was deafening, and the thick and bulky mechanical structure emitted a terrifying glow of magical energy.
Its main attack is to crush its enemies with its sturdy body and terrifying weight.
When such a massive metal mechanical body lifted its huge metal paws and crushed them wantonly in the mortal army, the explosion of flesh and bones being crushed was indeed effective in striking the fighting spirit and confidence of the enemy. But its enemies were destined to be only mortal armies. Once you want to fight a wizard with such "garbage", maybe a little "swamp magic" can easily bring it down!
However, such a magic mecha is not completely garbage, at least on the drawings of the magic mecha, the energy shield used to protect the core of the body and the use of "magic energy" still have some research value.
Seeing it, the goblin empire that designed this drawing did not have perfect witchcraft methods, perhaps those goblins were a group of witchcraft insulators. They lack the means to directly apply elemental power, so they can only focus on the combination of elemental power and mechanical structures.
It's no wonder they're calling this massive mechanical giant a magical mecha, which is simply an otherworldly version of the Golem Gundam. It's just that it's no longer powered by mysterious witchcraft and witchcraft runes, but by a synthesis of elemental energy and metal machinery.
Magic Machines!
Well, it's still appropriate to use the name magic machine!
After learning about this otherworldly version of the magic mecha, Grim simply scanned the general books of witchcraft puppets that he had just obtained into his mind one by one, and began to model them one by one, and then completely digitized.
From the point of view of the origin of the essence, the magic weapon and the golem of the wizarding world still have some blood origin.
Both sides crush their enemies with their massive bodies and sturdy shells.
The differences are:
The golems possess an animated mechanical heart and are capable of possessing some rudimentary humanoid intelligence, so wizards can simply give them a few simple instructions to do so.
After all, magic machines are only machines, and although they have a fantastic magical energy system, they don't have any autonomous intelligence to speak of. Therefore, if the magic machine wants to operate, it cannot be separated from the control of intelligent lifeforms.
The core of the golem is the heart of the machine, and the core of the magic machine is a small console.
That's probably the only difference between the two!
Magic cannons are also a kind of use of magical energy, which can channel the energy stored in the magic crystals and release it in the form of pure energy.
When the magic cannon is stuffed with fire-type elemental crystals, the attack form it stimulates is somewhat similar to the sorcery fireball, except that it is called an energy burst bomb by those goblins. Stuffed with ice element crystals, what is stimulated is a series of freezing rays. Stuff it with an electric elemental crystal, and it turns into a stun gun. If you plug in negative energy crystals, you will shoot corrosion rays......
Those goblins have no talent for magic, but they are good at using energy. Grim estimated that even a normal version of the magic cannon could reach an astonishing 20-30 degrees in strength for a single attack.
The strength of such an attack is indeed a bit low compared to the wizard's witchcraft attacks that are close to Baidu.
However, the Magical Cannon is not like sorcery equipment, which can only be used by wizards with elemental talents. The Magic Energy Cannon is a completely simplified elemental crystal launcher, and even those ordinary people can instantly possess the strength of a high-level wizard apprentice in their hands.
Those goblins are not stupid, it is impossible to sell the strongest weapon to Kirby. If this kind of magic cannon is only their lowest-level magic weapon, then they only need to develop a magic weapon with Baidu attack strength, and they can instantly make the entire people have wizard-level strength.
Moreover, the cooldown time of magic weapons is short, basically 1 shot/5 seconds, which also gives them an incomparable attack frequency when facing wizard apprentices head-on.
10 ugly goblins equipped with magical cannons can easily take out 10 heavily armed wizard apprentices. If all the members of that goblin plane popularize magic weapons, I'm afraid that the overall strength will be difficult to match even some medium-sized planes.
However, Grim's crazy conjecture was quickly rejected by Chip, and the reasons for the veto were so irrefutable.
The overall strength of the so-called Goblin Empire could not reach the point of Grim's conjecture, and the main reason that limited their development and growth was the lack of elemental crystallization.
The so-called success is also low magic, and defeat is also low magic!
It is precisely because the plane where the Goblin Empire is located is a low-magic world that they generally lack magical talent and are forced to embark on the path of magic technology. However, if magic technology wants to have a rapid development, a huge source of energy is indispensable!
Of course, it is impossible for the low-demon goblin plane to have huge reserves of elemental crystals, so the magic technology they develop must find another suitable source of energy. If you think about it from this angle, Grim is still very optimistic about this goblin empire.
As long as they can solve the problem of the source of magical energy, then with their use of magical weapons and magical machinery, the goblin clan is likely to quickly rise to become an impressive and powerful force in the multiverse!
To be honest, if he could grasp such a natural servant clan in his hands, Grim felt that he would have no problem conquering the sea of stars. However, before he has absolute strength, it is almost impossible to suppress these wild goblins, so everything can only be endured.
When his strength has risen to a higher level, and his subordinates have enough bargaining chips to deal with a dimensional war, they will have the opportunity to consider conquest and invasion of this so-called goblin empire.
With this understanding, Grimm only had warm words to comfort and cheer up the goblin Kirby, and specially approved a batch of resources and funds for Kirby to continue to contact the heterotopic goblin. However, in order to avoid the danger of raising tigers, Grim also drew a red line for Kirby.
What can be traded and what can't be traded, everything is clearly listed.
Grim asks Kirby to hang the Gazruvi with a constant trade, but he can't really raise the wolf into a tiger. Therefore, before every transaction with the other party, the items that need to be traded, Grim, must be personally inspected and strictly controlled.
For this, of course, Kirby can only be submissive.
In Kirby's eyes, discipline, faithfulness, and kinship are all floating clouds, and only winning the favor of the master is the only thing he needs to care about. As for betraying one's own people to their masters, as long as the price is right, it is also willing!
Ideological struggles, painful suffering, these things that shouldn't be, I'm sorry, Kirby didn't have a second.
