Chapter 893 - Magical Machine Golem Dragon
Chapter 893 Magical Machine Golem Dragon
Goblin Plane, City of Machines.
There was a massive alchemy lab underneath an adept’s tower.
Tight, dense scaffolds were built all over the large thirteen thousand square meters assembly workshop. Countless goblin engineers and technicians climbed up and down the scaffolding, soldering, cutting, banging, and making so much noise that it was almost like a market in there.
Surrounded by all the scaffolds, one could faintly see the shape of a massive magical machine construct.
It was a massive magical machine golem dragon constructed entirely of metal. Its body was a hundred meters long from head to tail, supported by six thick and sturdy metal legs. Every detail and pattern carved on the machine was exceedingly pretty and realistic.
The creation of this magical golem dragon made use of large amounts of Firegrime Copper, causing its surface to appear an odd shade of dark red. Whenever someone struck its metal body with considerable force, sparks would come flying out and ignite the clothes of the ‘attacker.’
So what if its size was massive? So what if its entire body was forged purely of magical metals?
Against a true Fourth Grade adept, it was no more than a pathetic and tragic target. Defeating the magical golem dragon wouldn’t be a problem. The real question was whether the opponent was willing to pay the massive price of taking down a target as sturdy as this.
Greem was not at all fooled by the old goblin’s passionate rant. Rather, he had a far more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the golem dragon than the old goblin!
“Fourth Grade magical machine construct? Good, very good.” Greem did not pop old Ganga’s fanciful bubble of idealism. Instead, he turned the topic of the conversation, “Then what practical difficulties are standing between you and completing this goal?”
“This…” Old Gonga hesitated for a moment.
Even with the might of the City of Machines as it was, they would have to commit all of their resources to create a magical machine construct of this scale. Disregarding the technology and workforce, just the transport teams required to move the metal ingots reached over a hundred in number.
They traveled through the various major mines every day, collecting the ores and taking them thousands of kilometers to the City of Machines. There, they were processed by the smelting, refinement, and extraction workships before finally being placed in the hands of the goblin technicians.
The magical alloy smelting and crafting that came after were then completed in a small goblin laboratory. The daily production from these labs was no more than a few hundred kilograms of refined alloy. To put together the amount of alloy the golem dragon required, thousands of goblin engineers and technicians were working restlessly through day and night. The number of goblins that had died in the labs and on the operating platforms alone numbered in the hundreds.
The sole reason they were all putting their lives on the lines was to personally see a ‘god-tier’ magical machine construct born from their hands!
For some native creatures who could not step out of the plane due to their racial restrictions, Fourth Grade was indeed the highest level within their world.
The title of god would not be inaccurate at all!
It was because of how much the goblins had put into the project that Gonga was so concerned that the difficulty of his request might scare away this young human adept.
“…we can solve all other difficulties by ourselves. However, three problems can never be solved with the power of us goblins alone.”
“Speak!”
“First is the problem of the adept apprentices. The lord adepts have assigned us five adept apprentices, and we have become able to do some runic circuit carving under their guidance. However, the number of goblins who have grasped this skill is still far too little. At the very least, if we want to finish carving all the runic circuits and various arrays within the golem dragon, the current number of adept apprentices is still far from sufficient.”
Greem gave this some thought. Soon he had obtained the internal information about the clan and replied to the old goblin decisively.
“From the day after tomorrow onwards, I will assign a hundred adept apprentices from the clan to you. The number of adepts will also be increased, and I will have them cooperate with your work.”
The surrounding goblins immediately let out a wave of cheers!
