Chapter 112: Gnome Engineering

Hearing Walker's words, Vane shifted his attention to the dwarven guard's expression, only to see the dwarven guard say to the two of them with a mocking expression, "He was the mission distribution officer who only took office last year. ”

"What?" Walker was taken aback.

"Assignment Officer? What is that? Walker? Confused by Walker's startled voice, Vane turned to Walker.

"Ah, it's the officer in charge of distributing the mission." Walker scratched his head and said to Vane.

"I know what the officer who distributed the mission meant, but does it have anything to do with us?" Vane didn't quite understand.

After all, in Vane's consciousness, the tasks assigned by the military personnel are all for the soldiers, and although the two of them came here to hone their combat skills, neither of them is a soldier, so what does the task distribution have to do with the two of them?

"How can it be okay." Walker explained to Vane, "If we don't pick up the mission, we don't even want to go through the gate, can we?" ”

"You're saying that the assignment is for us?" After listening to Walker's words, Vane felt a little enlightened in his heart.

"That's right, it's for you." The dwarven guard smiled at Vane.

"Oh, so we have to go get the quest first, and then we can go through the gate to do it. Is that so? Vane has since confirmed with the dwarven guards.

The dwarven guard nodded, "That's right, after completing the mission, you will also be able to get some rewards, which are enough for your expenses here and have some surplus, at least as travel expenses when you venture elsewhere." ”

"Alright, Vane, let's go to the inn and drop off our things, then rest here for the rest for the day, and then pick up the mission tomorrow." Walker turned to Vane and said, then turned back to the dwarven guard and said, "Thank you." ”

With that, Walker took the lead and walked in one direction, and Vane thanked the dwarven guards and hurriedly followed.

"Walker, haven't you dwarves thought about destroying these trolls?" Vane asked Walker after catching up with him.

"Why not, when our dwarves found out that these guys were eating people, and after catching a lot of dwarves and dwarves, we sent an army of 200,000 plus tens of thousands of dwarfs to eliminate these big teeth, but after finally defeating them, these guys ran everywhere, and after so many years, they still haven't been able to completely eliminate these guys." Walker shook his head and told Vane about the past.

"And because the 200,000 army can't afford to spend all year round, it's ......," Vane said.

"That's right, so we can only leave an army to garrison it, and then let the dwarves of each clan help clear these rangers. Gradually, it became the way it is now, and the newly grown dwarven warriors and young dwarf mages and technicians of all races will come here. Once the fangs are spotted assembled, the newly grown dwarves and young gnomes will immediately return here to report, and the army will send someone to clear out the assembled fangs. Walker continued to say to Vane.

That's when Vane realized why it was the way it was. It's not that the dwarves and gnomes don't want to get rid of these trolls, but they can't find out where they're hiding. Only now, as it is now, once anyone discovers where the trolls live, then the armies of both clans will go to destroy the trolls.

Coming to the inn here, Vane and Walker asked for a room, after all, there are many dwarves who have just come of age, and there are also many dwarfs. The room was still a little tight.

After putting things down, Vane and Walker came out of the inn and wandered around what appeared to be a small town, but was actually a military camp. This is already the corner of the barracks, surrounded by a tall wall. Every few meters on the wall, a dwarven warrior stood guard. There are also some gnomes below who seem to be repairing crop golems? The one that the gnome is repairing is very similar to the crop golem that Vane used to wander around in the wheat field when he was playing games in his previous life. It's just that he can't be sure, after all, it's been so many years, and it's normal to remember clearly.

So Wayne pointed over there and asked Walker, "Walker, what's that?" ”

"That's a mechanical golem, a long-eared imp." The voice of the reply was not Walker's, but an unfamiliar one. Vane turned his head to see a dwarf who was shorter than him talking.

"Mechanical golems? Can I go over and have a look? Vane asked the dwarf.

"Huh?" The dwarf gave Vane a strange look, and then asked, "You long-eared imp is interested in mechanical golems?" ”

"yes, I'm curious." Vane nodded in acknowledgement.

As he was talking, a loud noise suddenly came from a house not far away. Everyone turned their heads to look in that direction. Walker then said to Vane, "Look, there must be a mage in there. ”

"That's right." Before Vane could speak, the dwarf next to him who was talking to him affirmed.

Just then, the door to the house opened, and a dwarf in a mage's robe walked out with smoke on his head. He clasped his hands on his chest and said loudly as he walked, "What is the problem?" I've checked it many times, but it's still going to explode. ”

"Who's that?" Vane asked the gnome mage beside him as he looked at the gnome mage who was walking not far in front of them.

"He? I don't know what his name is, only that he's always wanted to merge arcane and engineering. He is said to have invented a device called: the Arcane Energy Core Thing. It is said that an arcane energy crystal can be used instead of lamp oil to give the mechanical golem more power. I don't know exactly how. The dwarf beside Vane said.

"Arcane power cores?" Vane felt the name sound familiar.

"yes, but it sounds like something you guys with long ears use, doesn't it?" The dwarf said.

"Sounds like something for us High Elves. But I'd like to learn a little bit about engineering now. Vane said as he pondered the question of the arcane energy core.

"Oh?" The dwarf glanced at Vane in surprise, but didn't find anything special about Vane, so he said, "If you want to study engineering, I can help you, I'm a dwarf technician." However, if you want to learn, it's not free, you know? ”

"Sure, how much does it cost?" After hearing this, Vane immediately asked rhetorically.

"Don't worry, it won't be much." As he spoke, he pulled a book out of his bosom and handed it to Vane, and gestured a number with his other hand for Vane to see.
