158. In the slave market
Thousands of years ago, the goblin civilization was like fireworks blooming in the night sky on this continent, flashing in a flash. Novel.
The goblins at that time had several of the greatest inventors, who combined magic and technology to create countless powerful weapons, and could even kill gods.
Because the goblins have mastered the power that can be matched by the demigods, they are just as fragile as mortals. They cannot compete with the real gods, but they are a group of atheists who carry the curses brought by the gods: amnesia, sadness, aging, possession of evil spirits, death and withering, illness, plague, etc. The once glorious goblin civilization disappeared without a trace in just a few decades on the Roland Continent and on various planes.
The Hex technology mastered by goblins also gradually disappeared into the dust of history with the decline of goblin civilization.
Some of the oldest inheritances of tribal orcs were word of mouth. Lao Kulu once told me about the beginning and end of the demise of the goblin civilization. He believed that the reason why goblins suffered a tragic disaster was entirely because they no longer had awe at that time. They firmly believed that the world could be changed with their hard work and intelligence, but the world was not changed in the end. The only things that changed were those green-skinned monkeys.
The goblin line gradually declined until it disappeared from people's sight.
No one thought that in this independent world separated by the countercurrent of time, there were still some goblins living in underground caves, which had gradually degenerated into sub-race creatures such as dog-headed people, fishmen, wereggars, and crows. They only have primary wisdom and can remember the simplest words of language.
However, in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley, some design drawings of Hex Technology were unexpectedly preserved. These drawings were pasted on the inner walls of some treasure chests. The treasure chests were filled with various primary magic gems. Few people would move these treasure chests frequently, so these design drawings were preserved.
In the process of destroying the goblin tribe, the dwarf Bornde retrieved a large number of Hex technology drawings for me. Unfortunately, these drawings are somewhat incomplete. My understanding of Hex technology is very limited, and I cannot deduce a complete design drawing based on these incomplete drawings.
Bornde and the orc warriors carried out several large-scale slave hunting operations against goblins deep in the underground caves, and obtained more drawings about Hex Technology, which were stored in the stone chamber of the underground warehouse.
Just as an orc slave passed by me with an empty treasure chest, my eyes fell on the Hex design drawing on the side wall of the treasure chest, as if suddenly, there was some kind of spiritual revelation.
This design drawing is like a key. Some design drawings I saw in the stone chamber appeared one by one from my mind, just like math problems with answers. I followed the answers upwards, and a clear "problem-solving idea" seemed to appear in my mind.
Just a flash of inspiration...
I focused all my attention on that drawing, I lifted the drawing from the treasure chest and ran quickly to the stone chamber of the underground warehouse.
The stone chamber was piled with simple and rough wooden racks, and there were some ancient scrolls on each wooden rack. These magic scrolls recorded some drawings of Hex Technology. I used the "glimmer light illumination technique" to make the stone chamber brighter. Kalancho and Katerina followed me with horse lanterns. Kalancho lit up the magic wall lights on the wall of the stone chamber, and the entire circular stone chamber gradually appeared clearly in our field of vision.
The walls in the stone chamber are like a huge circular blackboard, flat and smooth, except for a magic wall lamp every two meters away, there is nothing else.
I put a 'a'-shaped wooden ladder on the wall, climbed up the wooden ladder, pasted the drawings in my hand on the stone wall, and then quickly climbed down the wooden ladder, almost trotting all the way to the front of the wooden rack in the stone chamber. I just took out a roll of Hex drawings on the wooden rack with my memory, and ran back like a whirlwind, sticking the drawings next to the first drawing.
At this moment, almost all the lines on this side of the drawing were extended. I then took out the third and fourth drawings from the wooden shelf and pasted them on the wall one by one. In this way, when the nine drawings were pieced together, a clear design drawing appeared in front of me in full.
The extremely clear analytical form and complicated lines form the schematic diagram of the mechanical structure, accompanied by a large number of geisha-language text descriptions...
This is an overview of the magical mechanical drawings I have always dreamed of. The most core design of this magical machinery is the workbench in the center. There is a two-foot square metal template on it. The protruding part of the metal template is like a huge magical seal. The magic pattern line on it is clearly an anti-magic magic pattern array.
I looked up at the drawing with a mouth, and the extremely clear picture was reflected in my eyes.
If I guess correctly, this is clearly a magic pattern array engraving machine for metal rune boards. This huge seal of two feet on the machine can clearly stamp magic patterns on the magic metal rune board.
My eyes began to chase the text description on the drawings, but unfortunately it was full of rude and difficult goblin texts. But those goblin slaves had forgotten the most complex words created by their ancestors, which made me unable to learn goblin language in a short time.
The most orthodox process of making metal rune boards in the Green Empire is as follows: After the initial forging of the template, a uniform layer of magic mitral must be plated on the template to turn into a blank mitral metal rune board. Then the inscriptionists also carve the required magic pattern array on the blank metal rune board, and the magic rune board is finally formed.
Because the last magic process carved magic pattern array on the metal rune board has always been done by inscription masters by hand, and the success rate of hand-made production is not high, and the number of inscription masters in the imperial capital is even limited, which makes the output of magic rune boards always proportional to the number of inscription masters in the imperial capital, and the success rate of making magic rune boards directly affects the cost of magic rune boards.
These factors are the most direct reasons why the prices of magic metal rune boards remain high.
I really want to know how this magic pattern array engraving machine activated the magic power energy on the magic pattern array without the inscription master drawing on the metal rune board. It seems that this problem was perfectly solved during the goblin civilization period, and this magic pattern array engraving machine was born.
Although I can't understand the goblin text, I can understand some simple graphics and marks on the drawings. In the next period of time, I kept searching for those sub-directories in the stone chamber.
Not long after, a pyramid appeared on the wall, covering half of the wall. The initial magic printer overview picture was hung high on the top. Looking down, you will find that these drawings describe the parts on various details of the magic printer.
It is something I have never thought about being able to piece together such a complete set of drawings from hundreds or thousands of drawings.
I don't know when the dwarf Bornde walked in from outside. When he saw the wall covered with drawings, he asked me curiously: "What is this?"
I looked at these drawings intently and found that although the drawings were incomplete, the main parts were already complete.
I said lightly: "The rumored Hex Technology."
Bo Ende came over curiously, looking at the words and patterns on it, and his face was full of confusion. He asked me, "What is recorded on this?"
I turned to look at Bo Ende, and then said, "This records a magical machine, which will completely replace the inscription master, carving the magic pattern array on a blank metal rune board."
Bo Ende asked me: "Can you also carve the magic pattern array on those exquisite gold magic pattern red copper rune boards?"
I thought about it for a while and said with certainty: "In theory, it should be OK."
"..." Bo Ende stared at the drawings on the wall, unable to speak.
I asked the dwarf Bornd, "What's wrong?"
But Bo Ende said with a worried look: "If we make this thing, I don't know how many inscription masters will face unemployment in the imperial capital."
I smiled and said, "Don't say it so exaggeratedly, okay, the biggest flaw of this magic pattern array engraving machine is that it is single product and is suitable for some mass production."
Bornder waved his hand excitedly and said, "Even so, that's amazing."
At this time, I showed a trace of frustration and said, "It's a pity that I can't understand the goblin text on it, and I still can't make this magic machine!"
Bornde asked in surprise: "Why do you say that? If you can't understand the text, then we can figure out the patterns above. We can make these parts as shown in the drawings, and then groping them bit by bit according to the drawings. This kind of thing is actually not difficult for us dwarves who are good at forging!"
This is Bo Ende's unyielding character. He has an optimistic and positive attitude towards everything, and he can also think of some countermeasures.
Bo Ende's body leaned against the 'a'-shaped ladder, causing the ladder to tremble slightly. It seemed that he had become much fatter. Even the underground cave surrounds the goblin tribe could not make him lose weight. It seemed that his body size could only be maintained like this.
Bornde looked up at the drawings on the wall and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the old dwarf slaves you bought were all old blacksmiths in a blacksmith workshop. The slave owners there confirmed that they had run out of energy and could not work, so they sold them to slave traders. Because the blacksmith shop has been in a recession recently, a group of dwarf female slaves were sold at the same time."
After saying that, he pointed to the drawings on the wall and continued to say to me: "So, let me try this!"
Unexpectedly, Bo Ende, who has always been very lazy in life, took the initiative to ask for some problems to help me share. I was a little surprised and asked him casually: "So... do you want me to do something for you?"
Bo Ende didn't hide it and said to me directly: "Only you can help those old guys recover as soon as possible. Using your healing magic and the fine wine in the warehouse is the best treatment method. We need the technology in their hands, which is an equivalent exchange, right!"
"Okay, maybe you're right." I said, the intention of buying these dwarf slaves was to quell the anger in Bo Ende's heart.
When he lost his temper, he would take orc warriors to encircle the goblin tribes deep underground, and he was simply the destroyer of the goblin tribe.
Now it seems that I still have improved a bit.
"Geeja, I promise you that you will definitely be worth the money if you do this!" Berend said confidently.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bo Ende thought I was hesitating, so he said again: "We made underground trailers based on the previous drawings, and we can also ask them to transform them into rail pullers driving on light rails. This is a breeze for them. I can tell you very responsibly, Jijia, you have found the treasure!"
I asked Bo End: "Rail pulley?"
Bornd nodded and admitted: "Yes, it's the kind of track pulley that can automatically drive down the slope."
The dwarf Bornde entered the underground cave, and Xinliu Valley developed rapidly.
After the local light rail is completely completed, I estimate that the connection and interaction between the orc village on the surface of Xinliu Valley and the underground warehouse will be more frequent.
I jumped off the wooden stand and reached out to slap Bo Ende.
...
After returning from the arena, the scholar Yekis was excited again. He started his two-point and one-line life between the apartment and the Institute of Magic, and spent most of his time in the Institute of Magic. I haven't seen Mrs. Cecilia for a few days. Seeing that the scholar Yekis looked like he was silent, I didn't ask.
Almost every day, I have to draw a magic pattern structure of the "Demon Snake Tooth". Only in this way can I ensure that the order signed by Yekis can be delivered as scheduled.
Recently, I have begun to find ways to learn goblin texts, but the records of goblin texts are only about goblin texts. Even the Royal Academy of Magic is very limited. I have not made much progress during this period. I can only copy the part of goblin texts on the drawings and find solutions everywhere.
I will also take some time every day to practice the "Energy-gathering Magic Pattern" because I am curious about the surprises on the third page of the mysterious magic book.
Only after I have become proficient in the "Cat Energy Magic Pattern" to a certain extent can I uncover the answer to this mystery.
During this period, an event that caused a sensation in the magic world occurred in the imperial capital. This incident almost completely covered up the wedding event between Qige and Ying Li after the adult ceremony.
Senior Dylan Hearst published a paper on space magic at the Royal Academy of Magic. The paper discusses the topic of transmitting to fixed coordinate points in wild areas. This is a topic of magic with a very wide application. In the past few hundred years, space magic has always wanted to make a breakthrough in this topic, but it has never been successful.
However, Senior Dylan Strey proposed a very complete magic plan. This magic plan is based entirely on the Golden Sea Ship Revenge Queen and slightly simplified. For a moment, the entire imperial capital magic world was talking about this matter...
