Chapter 518
Chapter 518 Meeting of Two Titans
As the pulsing spatial ripples vanished, the third batch of reinforcements arrived in the Goblin Plane.
This time was the same as the last. Only two people came as reinforcements. Alice and Berserk Witch Sofia.
Their arrival was a significant boost to the strength of Greem’s faction. The number of active adepts went from five to seven. Moreover, with Alice’s unique Fate Divination, she would be able to obtain various amounts of information during her daily divinations, as long as that information was not something that the enemy was actively trying to hide.
With her addition to the party, no significant movement of the enemy would pass unnoticed by Greem and his allies.
It was precisely Alice’s importance that made her a core member of Greem’s faction. Greem would never let her be subjected to any risk under ordinary circumstances, not to mention having her step on the battlefield. Therefore, Greem quickly summoned Mary and Billis back from their tasks and had Mary stay by Alice’s side.
The seven adepts that had arrived on the Goblin Plane met up in this manner. They started discussing their following battle plans against the Goblin Empire.
Of the seven adepts, Mary and Billis leaned toward making contact with Gazlowe. As long as he was sufficiently greedy, Greem’s faction could easily use an exchange of benefits to trade with him. If he could sell out the goblin plane once, he would sell it out a second time as long as the price was right.
“Kehkehkeh,” The old goblin inside the giant machine couldn’t help but break out in insane laughter, “Tigule, you are no more than an old dog of the Royal Family that has lost all of its teeth. Your master has yet to speak, and you jump out to bark? Are you not worried about messing up your master’s plans?”
Tigule’s anger reached its boiling point. He was just about to launch a reckless attack at the enemy when Princess Vanessa walked to his side. She gently took off her veil and softly said, “Teacher Tigule, tolerate it for a bit. Let me have a few words with Gazlowe!”
Vanessa’s sweet and moving voice was like a cooling spring flowing into the middle of a desert. It immediately chilled the bubbling tensions in the warehouse.
Tigule was reluctant, but he still suppressed his fury. The Spider Machine moved to a side and revealed Vanessa.
“I have come! What about you?” Vanessa stared at the giant machine with determined eyes.
The giant machine seemed to hesitate for a moment before steam blasted out of the many exhaust pipes on its back. The metallic plates at the front of the device opened up, layer by layer. Finally, after seven layers of protective plates, Gazlowe’s face was exposed to everyone.
The effects of his age seemed to weigh more heavily on Gazlowe now compared to before.
Distressing spots and blotches filled his green skin. The purple spots had almost completely obscured his green skin color. His wrinkled, bark-like skin rolled up. The surface of the skin seemed to have absolutely no shine to it.
With the average sixty to eighty years of lifespan of an ordinary goblin, Gazlowe was a genuinely elderly individual with his age of ninety-six years. Unlike Tigule, who had his lifespan extended after his advancement, Gazlowe was still an ordinary goblin. His life should have ended ten or twenty years ago.
Yet, the greatest engineer and inventor of the Goblin Plane had used some method to extend his lifespan with the influence and resources at his disposal.
That was obvious, given the thin transparent tubes connecting him with the giant machine!
