Arcane Universe

Feng Chou took out the purse, counted thirty small Golden Lions, and put them on the counter.

The bartender collected the money, and quickly called out a cup of dark cocktail, handed it to Feng Chou, tilted his head towards him, and signaled that he could go to the second floor.

Ascend the second floor from the corner stairs behind the bar. The first thing that appears in front of Feng Chou is a small lounge with several tables and high stools for guests to rest.

In a corner of the lounge, two bear goblins in armor are sitting on a corner sofa.

Feng Chou is slightly surprised that these two bear goblins actually have the strength of an advanced warrior. Feng Chou has seen a lot of bear goblins, but this is the first time he has seen such a powerful bear goblin.

The two bear goblins glanced at Feng Chou, then carefully looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then withdrew their gaze.

In another corner of the lounge, there is a small bar, and two goblin bartenders are sitting in the bar.

Feng Chou walked to the bar, put down the wine glass, and asked: “I want to buy a detailed nautical chart between the north and the south.”

A goblin bartender walked out of the bar, yes He said: “Come with me.”

He took Feng Chou through the lounge, opened a door, and walked into a corridor.

There are about five or six offices on both sides of the corridor.

The goblin bartender walked to the middle of the corridor, opened a door, and made a sign of inviting Feng Chou.

Feng Chou walked into the office, and inside was a hobgoblin in a neat dress.

The hobgoblin looked at Feng Chou entering the door with a polite smile, pointed to the chair in front of his desk, and said: “Please sit down, Mr. Feng.”

Feng Chou stepped forward Pulled away the chair and sat in.

The hobgoblin reached out and shook hands with him, “Hello, sir, I’m Jikhill, I’m glad to serve you.”

The opponent’s hands are dry and strong, and human The touch of the hand is not much different.

Feng Chou said: “Eric, you can call me Eric. I want to buy a detailed chart of the north and south continents. It is best to have the location marks of all the islands along the way.”

Jikehill said: “We have many detailed maps of different levels. Which level do you want?”

Feng Chou said: “Of course it is of the highest level.”

Jikesil raised his non-existent eyebrows and said, “The highest level? Are you sure?”

Feng Chou said: “Of course!”

Jikesil said:” Well, the highest level navigational map is worth one hundred thousand sols. You must also sign a devil agreement to ensure that the map is not spread.”

One hundred thousand sols is 1.5 million krona. Such a high price made Feng Chou stunned, but he hesitated for a moment, and he nodded and said: “No problem.”

Feng Chou needs a place to settle and follow his men. But the South Continent where races stand in great numbers is not a good place. Compared with the politically stable North Continent, this is an out-and-out troubled world.

So, Feng Chou had to look at the sea.

His ideal place to stay is best on such an island, and it is best to be near the route to and from the north and south of the continent, so that he can use sea trade to accumulate wealth, but it should not be too close to the route. There is a distance of more than a thousand kilometers from the route, so that you can avoid the harassment of the pirates.

Islands must have enough area and have sufficient fresh water…

With so many restrictions, such islands are naturally hard to find, so Feng Chou needs precise and detailed Charts, even if you spend a few million krona, as long as you can find the ideal island, it is worth it.

Feng Chou’s utterly stunned Jiekhir for a moment, but he immediately put on a big smiling face, “That’s great, I’ll let the mage prepare for the devil The summon ceremony…just…”

Jikehill paused and said: “Before that, you need to show us that you have the ability to pay the money.”

Feng Chou said: “Of course.” He took out a delicate silk cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the hobgoblin.

The hobgoblin picked up the silk purse in Feng Chou’s hand, opened it and looked at it, there are a dozen intermediate magic gems, the most noticeable of which is half the size of seven or eight pigeon eggs. Clear crystal, that seems to be soul crystal.

Before coming to the Southern Continent, Feng Chou had already replaced all the Northern Continent bank notes in his hand with gems.

The Bank of Fortune Goddess has not yet opened to the South Continent. Those Woking Bank notes that are hard currency in the North Continent are all waste paper in the South Continent.

Jikhill probably estimated that the value of this bag of gems has indeed exceeded one hundred thousand sols.

He handed the money bag back to Feng Chou and said, “Please wait a moment.”

After that, he left the office.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the office and said to Feng Chou: “Please follow me.”

The two left from the back door of the tavern and followed a small road behind the tavern. Go all the way to the back of the yard.

Behind the courtyard, there are three huge workshops, in the shape of a product, a circular workshop with tall chimneys is erected. The huge steel pipes lead to the three workshops like blood vessels.

This is a typical layout of a steam power plant. The steam boiler as the power source is located in the center, providing steam power for all around workshops.

The rumbling sound of the machine is endless.

The hobgoblin led Feng Chou through the factory building on the left, to the rear left corner of the courtyard, where there was a fortress-like stone building.

The door of the stone building is guarded by two things that resemble a steel structure.

Universe Pagoda told Feng Chou that it was not a construct, but a legendary “magic mecha”!

“Magic Mecha” is the highest crystallization of goblin engineering, he is the perfect combination of engineering and magic.

It is said that under the control of the goblin, the battle strength of this mecha is even stronger than that of the construct of the same level, and it is not as low in intelligence as the construct, and cannot execute complex commands.

Universe Pagoda quickly came up with the analysis results of the magic mecha.

The shell part of the magic mech is actually very similar to the structure. The joints are replaced by vertical and horizontal shafts, and the muscles are replaced by magic energy to provide power for the mecha. The source of magic energy is also the magic constant technique. .

However, the magic invariance of this magic mech is a bit special. According to Universe Pagoda, this magic invariance should be a simplified version of the array.

If true magic invariance requires a high-level alchemist to master, then this simplified version of magic invariance alchemy array may be mastered by alchemists of level ten or even level 9.

This news moved Feng Chou’s heart. If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that this simplified alchemy array can be mastered by the Universe Pagoda?

Of course, the simplified version is naturally inferior to the original version. The efficiency of this simplified version of magic invariance is only one-fifth of the normal version, but the cost is as high as one third of the normal version. .

So, the head, chest, and limbs of this magic mecha are each equipped with a simplified version of magic invariance, and a magic storage device is installed in the lower abdomen. This storage device can be installed in the lower abdomen. It usually stores mana and releases mana in combat to supplement the shortcomings of the simplified version of the magic constant spell output.

According to the calculations of Universe Pagoda, this simplified version of the magic constant technique is used on a small magic device such as a magic mecha, and the cost can be controlled. If it is used on a magic ship, make it Into a large array, the cost will be high and unacceptable.

This is probably the reason why the goblin did not apply this simplified version of the magic constant array to large ships.

Another difference between the magic mech and the construct is that the magic mech does not have a soul core.

In order to replace the soul core, the goblin invented a magical alchemy device. This device can combine the consciousness of a goblin with the information transmission center of the magic mecha through some low-level spells. Get up, let the goblin replace the soul core of the structure and control the action of the magic mecha.

In this way, allowing a weak ordinary goblin to penetrate into the magic mecha can allow a mecha to obtain functions far beyond the construct.

For goblins, the real advantage of the mecha is that it avoids complicated soul ceremony. A magic mecha of the same level as the Arcanite construct requires only a tenth level or even a level. 9 alchemists can make it! .

This is of extraordinary significance to the goblins.

Because of their superior intelligence, the proportion of goblins among low-level wizards is even higher than that of humans, but because of the poor foundation of spirit strength and innate talent, the future of the goblin wizards is very poor.

The primary level goblin mage can advance to the intermediate level very few people, less than one-tenth of the human mage primary level mage, to the advanced level, it is even more as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Because of poor spirit strength and high intelligence, almost all goblin mages are alchemists, and there are even many goblin mages whose alchemist level is higher than their mage level!

Among the Goblin Alchemists, the ones that can make Arcanite constructs can be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, but the number of magic mechas that can be made is not comparable to the same among humans. Level There are few alchemists, after all, the proportion of alchemists among human mages is less than one-tenth.

The invention of the magic mech can be said to solve the shortcomings of the lack of high-end battle strength among the goblins, and is considered the greatest invention in the history of the goblins.

In addition to lowering the manufacturing threshold, because the soul core is not required, the price of the magic mecha has been reduced a lot. The reduction not only offsets the high cost of the simplified magic constant array, but even a lot of wealth , So that the magic mecha is much cheaper than the similar copper-core steel shell structure. Universe Pagoda estimates that the cost of the magic mecha is only about 2/3 of the copper-core steel shell structure of the same level.

In addition, Universe Pagoda also emphasized that the pilots in these two magic mechas are two advanced goblin Rogues!

Goblins with an average height of only 1.4 meters are far inferior to humans in terms of physical strength and strength, no matter the foundation or is innate talent, but they are stronger than humans, that is, agility, goblins. The natural agility is about 1.3 times that of humans, and the upper limit of innate talent is also stronger than that of humans.

Therefore, a small man like a goblin is far more suitable for the profession of Rogue than a human being. Among ordinary goblin professionals, Rogue accounts for a high proportion, and among goblin Rogue, the proportion of high-level professionals is much higher than that of humans.

The highly agile Rogue is undoubtedly the best candidate for manipulating magic mechas.

The power of magic mechas comes from the strong demon ability provided by magic invariance, and their reaction speed is largely limited by the reaction speed of the controller itself, using high agility Rogue Controlling the mecha can double the battle strength of the mecha.

Universe Pagoda estimates that the battle strength of a magic mecha controlled by a Rogue of 1Level 3 or higher requires two black steel structures of the same type to contend.

There are also many weapons mounted on this magic mecha. The one that caught Feng Chou’s attention most was the huge one hanging on the back of the magic mecha. The caliber was almost three pounds. Gun’s giant revolver musket.

Universe Pagoda analyzed from the caliber, structural accuracy, and complex magic circuit of the musket, the formidable power of the bullets fired by this handgun is likely to be close to the sixth-level single spell.

This formidable power is weaker than Feng Chou guessed. There is no way. The spell level is always the pain of the goblin. There is no magic effect attached to this magic mech that exceeds Fifth Level.

In addition to the musket, a small round shield is hung on one arm of the magic mecha, and a huge black steel hammer is hung on the thigh on the other side.

In order to facilitate combat, the arms of the magic mecha are very long, so they can stand almost next to the ground, looking like a giant long-armed gorilla from a distance.

Because the technical difficulty of the magic mecha is below advanced level, Universe Pagoda only took a short time to scan and analyze this thing thoroughly.

Feng Chou followed Jiekhir over the two magic mechas and walked into the interior of the stone castle.

A goblin mage has prepared the summon array.

The hobgoblins and bear goblins transformed by the goblins with the low-level bloodline ceremony can only change the weak body of the goblin. The spirit strength involves the soul, which is not something that the low-level bloodline ceremony can transform.

Therefore, in the goblin kingdom, only the children of the rich who have no future as engineers will be transformed into hobgoblins in order to obtain better innate talents.

As for the bear goblin, that is the transformation that slaves and poor people will accept. This transformation is low in cost, but it will hurt the intelligence of the reformer.

The appearance of this goblin mage is just an ordinary goblin, but Jiekhill is very respectful to him. It is no wonder that the status of the eighth-level mage among the goblins will never be low.

The summon devil array is arranged in a huge bondage room in the basement of the stone castle.

Before the summon devil, the goblin mage took out a confidentiality contract and handed it to Feng Chou.

Feng Chou took the contract, and after reading it carefully, he checked the contract with a few small magics to avoid any backdoors on it.

In fact, the Universe Pagoda spirit only took a second to confirm that the contract was okay, but in order not to be regarded as a stick by the other party, he must also behave, showing that he is very familiar with the devil contract. .

Feng Chou signed his name on the contract.

This kind of signature, whether it is the real name or not, will connect the signatory with the contract. Once such a contract is justified by the devil, the devil can trace the soul of the defaulter based on the signature. This is the rule of hell. The Devil’s Innate Ability.
