Chapter 795 City of Machines
Goblin Plane. City of Machines.
As the gathering place of all magical machine technology in the Goblin Plane, the City of Machines had become the dream capital that all goblin engineers and technicians dreamed of.
It had initially been a private territory of Princess Vanessa of the Goblin Empire, but ever since the otherworldly adepts had arrived in this world, it had become where they lived and set up their laboratories.
An adept’s tower rose from the city now and was one of its most striking and memorable landmarks!
Due to their fear of the evil adepts, the goblin civilians had been unwilling to serve these individuals that had robbed them of their rule over the plane. However, with the passing of twenty years, the older generation who had been filled with terror at the brutality and wickedness of the adept invasion slowly died of old age.
The new generation of goblins might not like the adepts, but their memories of their brutality were not as clear and imprinted as their predecessors.
Correspondingly, more goblins were willing to embrace the changing of the times. They eagerly approached the tower and offered themselves into the service of the adepts, becoming the representatives and subordinates of the adepts across the continent. These same goblins quickly turned from ordinary goblins into fearsome and respected pilots of magical machine warriors who had the power to overwhelm ordinary goblin machine warriors.
Even back during the founding of the City of Machines, Adept Meryl went through immense trouble to obtain a space furnace from the adept leaders to serve as the power supply of the City of Machines. Otherwise, trying to sustain a city as large as this with only magical crystals was no more than a delusion.
However, trying to promote the development of the entire City of Machines with a single space furnace meant that the distribution of its magical energy was essential. The one hundred and six metal furnaces in the city required energy. The twenty-seven smelting factories required energy. The thirty-two construction workshops required energy…
Apart from that, there was also a pile of research that required magical energy to be continued, including projects from the magical alloy refinery, the metal ratio laboratory, the magic machine research center, and the magical energy development center.
Under such a severe magical energy shortage, Princess Vanessa could only try her best to eke out a magical energy quota for everyone while applying for more from the adepts.
Fortunately, with Tigule’s status as a Second Grade magical machine pilot, the goblins had decent standing within the Crimson Clan. The magical crystals that he sent back to the City of Machines every month also became rare resources that the goblin engineers and technicians fought over.
It was during these moments that the typically polite, green-skinned runts would start yelling in the city council. There were several times where it even escalated to physical conflict. Such chaotic scenes undoubtedly upset Princess Vanessa as well, causing her to sneak out to this balcony to enjoy the scenery instead.
Unfortunately, as the supposed ‘ruler’ of the city, she had to deal with all these people who were constantly calling for more resources and energy that they so desperately needed.
Perhaps, it was also time for her to find a way to request an audience with that powerful adept.
