Sure enough, the goblins forgot to close their gates, and there were no guards at the gates, and Brian and the others easily crossed a long rope bridge from the land and entered the central island of Lake Vero. It's a shocking mechanical city, with thick metal pipes everywhere, huge machines roaring and billowing black smoke into the air, and from time to time the dust from burning falls, making the houses and the ground dirty, and the whole city looks greasy and greasy, and there is no place to find a refreshing place.

Compared with humans, the technology of goblins is superior, and the city walls are no longer arranged with long-range strike weapons such as crossbows, but gunpowder batteries, this kind of turret, Brian has seen a few in Tianen City, the capital of the empire, and humans need to spend a lot of money to buy some from goblins, but I heard that there is a risk of blowing up themselves when it is operated, so I have never seen who has really used it. High in the sky above the city, there were huge olive-like flying objects moving slowly, and Brian couldn't figure out what it was, but he felt like he could go to the sky, which was really an enviable thing.

Goblins are short and frail, and their lifespan is not too long, but they have extremely intelligent minds, probably because they are too intelligent, and their style of acting is cunning and extreme, and they have mastered the core technology that will never really be taught to humans, so humans hate goblins very much, and this is the only race that can make them suffer. Humans have tried many times to capture goblin mechanics and sorcerers in the hope that they will serve them, but in the end, they have suffered so much, they are blown to pieces by a bomb, or they have eaten poison prepared by goblins, and gradually lose patience and interest in them.

There were not many people on the street, and occasionally a large metal car, emitting thick black smoke passing by, suddenly made a loud noise, scattered into parts all over the ground, a few green goblins turned black, squatting next to the parts and thinking about improvements, this is the goblins, a race obsessed with machinery, everyone will fall into hard thinking at any time, and ignore everything else.

Everywhere is amazing, the smooth and solid pavement, the trees growing horizontally from the walls, the transparent passages hanging in the air, the children jumping in spring shoes, the buildings that suddenly spew out large clouds of mist, the mailboxes that make sounds, and the flower beds that rotate automatically. Most of the goblins gathered around the square, where there were four large machines made of steel, and a metal ball with a diameter of more than 30 meters was being hoisted.

"Is this the thing that fell from the sky?" said Brian, "what a big guy, how did the goblin get it to the square?"

"I don't know, it is said that two months ago, the metal ball fell in the forest, and finally the goblins managed to transport it, and only recently dismantled it, and then the goblins went crazy, they were all crazy by the perfect structure inside the metal ball. Byrne sighed.

"Then you don't care about anything, even the security and defense, and if you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later. Brian said.

"Goblins are like that, but luckily people don't like to deal with goblins all along, so nothing bad happens these days. Gallaher said, "Your Excellency, you see it now, so many of us humans come in casually, and when we come to the goblins, they don't seem to see it. ”

"Well, there are still a few guards on the walls, but they're all dozing off. Brian said.

"That's because they thought about it all night last night, drew a lot of drawings, and of course they couldn't stay up during the day. Byrne guessed.

"Just let them go, a paranoid race, we can't control much, I want to see what the humans rescued from the orb are like. ”

"Listen to Lamy, the girl was in the goblin's medical room, but she was in a coma all the time, and although she didn't die for two months, she didn't wake up. Gallaher said.

"Rami isn't obsessed with this metal ball yet, let's ask her to help. ”

In a small wooden house, the human found Rami, who had just returned a few days ago, and the woman was cooking for her family, and she showed a happy expression when she saw her friend go and return.

"I didn't know you were coming, but I didn't have enough rice cakes. Rami was holding a tin basin and stirring up sticky food.

Looking at Rammy's simple outfit, the furnishings of the house, and their food, Brian found that the goblins were indeed mechanically developed, but in terms of life, they were far inferior to humans. "I don't need to prepare anything more, I just want to delay you a little longer. ”

"It's okay, they don't necessarily eat it anyway, and now the family is not normal, since the Great Elder ordered the whole people to study the metal ball, almost no one eats and sleeps on time. Rami smiled wryly.

"Can you take us to the infirmary?" Brian requested.

"No problem, you want to see the human, come with me. Rami washed her hands in the sink, took off her apron and led everyone out the door.

The medical room is actually built at the bottom of the water at the very edge of the city, and the large transparent glass pipe leads to the lake, where you can see schools of fish swimming, and the goblin technique and ideas are always amazing.

"There is almost no one here to take care of it, and the medical staff have also run to study the metal ball, and even my teacher, who has been refining medicine all along, has now developed a strong interest in the strange ball. Rami reluctantly pointed to the compartments of the medical room, "Look, these are injured goblins, some fell off the metal ball and broke their bones, some were stunned by a powerful lightning bolt in a kind of ball, and some were overworked and starved, but only a few female nurses were left to take care of them, and they couldn't keep busy at all." ”

"It's not okay for the goblins to go on like this, but fortunately, no one will take advantage of it, otherwise it will be a catastrophe. Brian reminded.

"It's useless to say this, the Great Elder's idea is that as long as the mystery of the metal ball is cracked, the goblin will be extremely powerful, and no one will be an opponent at that time. ”

"They say goblins are smart, but cleverness is not in the point, Rami, you have to remember that if a gray-eyed and white-skinned human enters the central island, or some other invasion, you must find a way to inform the dwarves, and I will let them help you when the time comes. ”

Rami nodded, took down Brian's words, came to a cubicle, pointed to the bed, and said, "The girl in the metal ball, just sleeping here, we used a lot of drugs, she didn't wake up, I'm afraid she will never wake up." ”

Brian stepped forward and saw the young girl sleeping peacefully on the bed, with a baby face and blond and curly hair, the man suddenly took two steps back in shock: "She, is she Estrid?"
