63. Fortress
(Thank you for the "only war" book friend for the reward, thank you here!)
Wang Qinian fell into deep thought, he was basically sure that this was a device that used the power of steam to push cannonballs, and he couldn't imagine that the goblins in the Black Forest had such skills in the past, how did they weaken?
"Let's go. Wang Qinian said lightly.
When the goblin Nobi heard this, not only did he not leave, but his face turned discouraged: "Master, don't drive me away!"
As he spoke, his head knocked down again, but the moment he lowered his head, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, Wang Qinian didn't see it, but he didn't like goblins, but since goblins have lived here for countless eras, they have their own reasons.
"Can't let him go, this fairy almost died at his hands. The flower fairy Xiaoshuang's vicious voice came from overhead.
Wang Qinian snorted and said lightly: "I have the final say in this matter." ”
He knew in his heart that whether it was a goblin or a little shuang, he had a wishful thinking in his heart, and he still had to be careful in his heart, don't look at the small body of the little shuang, there are not a lot of eyes in the heart, if the goblin Nobby is really as written in the human book, I am afraid that he will sell it to him.
He was just about to speak, but suddenly raised his head, and in the sky, a huge flying eagle appeared, which is a magical beast with wind attributes, in the sky, seeing the goblin on the ground, his wings were folded, and he was about to swoop down.
The goblin Nobby also saw the flying eagle, and was so frightened that he even crawled, hugged Wang Qinian's leg, and didn't let go.
Wang Qinian waved up casually, several wind blades flashed with blue light, and the air was broken with a chirp, and the flying eagle chirped, and the blue light around the body was vigorous, forming a kind of conical shield, and with the chirp, a whirlwind was formed in front of the shield.
The wind blade was blown by the whirlwind, and it was already weakened, and when it hit the shield, the shield appeared like a water pattern, and the wind blade was eliminated, and the power of several wind blades was eliminated, but the momentum of the dive was also slowed down a lot.
An ice pick appeared in Wang Qinian's hand, about five or six cubits long, and it did not shoot out, but grabbed it in his hand, and in the face of the diving momentum of the flying eagle, it bloomed with ice light, and stabbed out.
With a pop, the ice pick broke through the shield and pierced into the chest of the flying eagle, the flying eagle screamed, fluttered twice, and the blood flowed out of the ice pick, a series of actions, and did not use the unique magic of the lich, but with the help of the magic array in the bracer, the wind blade was the first, and then the ice pick was condensed, and the ice pick was used as a sword, killing the flying eagle.
The corpse of the flying eagle fell to the ground, and when Nobi saw it, he immediately let go of Wang Qinian's legs, and pounced on it with a snort, the body of the flying eagle was bigger than Nobi, and the appearance was very weird, a dark green goblin hugged the corpse of the flying eagle, overjoyed.
Seeing this, Wang Qinian said lightly: "This flying eagle is yours, you can go." ”
"No, my dear master, Goblin Nobby, in the name of his ancestors, sincerely invites you, noble master, to come to Nobby's clan!" Nobby woke up to such a master, even if he was a human, he had to hold on to him, this was the only choice to improve his status in the race.
Wang Qinian was very strange when he saw Nobby repeatedly inviting him, but he still agreed, and he was also very curious, how did the goblins live, and they could survive in the Black Forest, which showed that they had adapted to the environment.
Nobi dragged the flying eagle that was much larger than his body, leading the way in front, Wang Qinian followed him, Xiaoshuang was very dissatisfied, chattering along the way, and kept talking about how dirty the goblin was, how cheap, how cowardly and greedy, Wang Qinian just ignored her, let her babble, just can't hear it, the flower fairy didn't mention anything to leave him, behind him, the unicorn spirit hid in a place that Wang Qinian couldn't see, and secretly followed, it thought that Wang Qinian didn't know what to do, Wang Qinian was clear, free bodyguard, Wang Qinian didn't need to use it in vain.
After a while in the forest, in a valley, Wang Qinian saw the so-called goblin home, like a hill standing in the forest valley, this is not a natural generation, but a steel fortress, half of which has been buried in the ground, magnificent, this is not a fixed fortress, but a mobile fortress, but has long lost the ability to move, the steel on the surface has long been covered by dust and trees, but the essence of steel is still exposed in some places, there is no rust, the surface is black, abruptly similar to the process of baking blue, but it is much more advanced than baking blue。
As soon as Wang Qinian saw this fortress used as a home by goblins, his eyes shrank, how advanced the goblin civilization was, Wang Qinian didn't know what to do, but from their rust prevention of steel, even the technology on the earth is so advanced, and it can't be compared, but according to Nobby, they only reached the level of steam, not to the level of internal combustion engines, what is going on?
When they arrived at the fortress, the goblin guards looked at Wang Qinian vigilantly with knives and guns, fortunately, Wang Qinian and Nobi together, otherwise, they would shoot, Wang Qinian looked at the goblin guards, they were very miscellaneous, some were holding airburst guns, some were holding bows and arrows, and some were holding knives, but the knives seemed to be made of iron, just a long strip, and some simply held sticks, Wang Qinian frowned, which showed that they had no organization at all, in the valley, behind the fortress, there were many farmland-like things, and there was a kind of plant similar to wheat and some tubers growing in it, and it was surrounded by a stone wall made of rocks, it can't be called a stone wall, anyway, it is made of random piles of stones, and it is connected to the fortress, and there are no goblins working in the fields at all, and they are overgrown with weeds.
Wang Qinian shook his head when he saw this, the current goblins have long ceased to be the powerful civilization in the legend, life has degraded, but instinct still retains a little glory of intelligent life, no wonder human beings look down on them, although human civilization has not yet reached the height of their ancestors, however, it seems that human civilization has embarked on another path.
Nobby introduced Wang Qinian to the guards with a high spirit, and the guards also looked at Wang Qinian in awe, Nobi dragged the flying eagle into the fortress, Wang Qinian looked at the gate, this fortress is extremely tall for goblins, but for Wang Qinian, the gate can barely enter it, and the smell inside is very bad, a goblin smell.
Since entering the fortress, it has suddenly become wider, even Wang Qinian does not feel crowded, there are sloppy goblins running by from time to time, Wang Qinian feels that he has entered Lilliputian, and it is a green Lilliputian.
The flower fairy Xiaoshuang closed her mouth from the door, hid in Wang Qinian's hair, and couldn't find her at all if she didn't pay attention.
Nobi spoke, and had already gone to find the elders, and three elders came out, with very long beards, reaching their chests, and looking at Wang Qinian in their eyes, they couldn't help but show fear.
"Respected human magician, Goblin Elder Tarzan welcomes you. "The elder is actually called Taishan, but there is no mountain called Taishan in the other world, his attitude is very humble, and he raised his head and said.
Wang Qinian bowed his head: "Respected goblin elder, the goblin clan, once glorious in history, and today I feel very honored to see the glory of the past." ”
"Where, where, please inside!" Taishan said, leading the way in front, after turning left and right, ready to go to the central control room, while walking, the goblin elders introduced Wang Qinian, the two goblin elders one is called Yali, the other is called Yasa, but their introduction made Wang Qinian feel that there may be an article in it, and he pulled to the goblin god Barcelona, saying that this fortress was dedicated to him, in 10,000 years ago, the goblin god expedition countless starry sky and sea, and lost contact, but he predicted that one day he would come back and lead the goblins back to glory.
Coming to the control room, Wang Qinian saw the central hall, on the highest floor of the fortress, not surrounded by screens and a large number of control instruments as Wang Qinian imagined, but a simple operation room, surrounded by glass windows, from the inside you can see the situation outside, those things on the console have been almost dismantled by the goblins.
According to the guest of honor, it seemed very empty inside, Wang Qinian sat in his position, and his heart was constructing the original appearance, there should be a control table in that place, and one or several goblins stood there, but unfortunately only the bare ground remained, and there was a hole in the ground leading to the bottom.
That spot should be a joystick or something......
Wang Qinian completed these in his mind and said to the elders: "It's a pity, there are only a few things left here, I'm afraid there are a lot of things, should this fortress be movable?"
The elders showed a satisfied look in their eyes, as if they knew the Dao, but Wang Qinian knew the Dao from their eyes, they didn't know the Dao at all,
"What the guest said is that it is a pity that our descendants do not know how to cherish it, and the god of goblins has not given us divine power and miracles, and these things can only be inhabited by us now, so that we are not like some goblin communities, which rely on holes in the ground to live. Ali said proudly, with a slight smug between his eyebrows.
"That's right, our community relies on it, and maintains thousands of individuals, unlike other communities, only a few dozen people, and in this forest, we have the greatest power. Asa also said.
Wang Qinian sighed secretly in his heart, when he saw these people, he realized that the goblins had been completely reduced to low-level lifeforms, although they were high-level beings of wisdom, a thin voice came from his ears, it was the voice of the flower fairy Xiaoshuang, and the three elders didn't hear it at all: "Dirty goblins, it's really a mouse's eye, mixed to this extent, and complacent!"
Wang Qinian smiled and changed the topic: "I heard Nobby say that there are steam cannons and mechanical warriors in the fortress, and I really want to see it and see the former glory of the goblins." ”
"Okay, come with us and let you see. Tarzan said smugly and stood up, and the others followed suit.
Wang Qinian followed them to the next floor, and when the door was opened, three huge cannons were placed in a 360-degree position, each with a huge boiler, and the pipes were very complicated, leading to the bottom of the barrels.
Elder Tarzan pulled an iron chain, and with a creaking sound, the fortress steel parted, and a window appeared.
