In the library of Orser's ruins, there are also a number of metal plates from the goblin era. Most of these materials are magic patterns and mechanical knowledge of that era. The two old goblins were still arguing outside the library, and Lant took a few girls to sift through the technical catalogue.
The goblin civilization has lasted tens of thousands of years, and their library also has a very complete retrieval and preview system. There is a metal magic circle on the metal bookcase. Just touch it with your hand and you can explore the entire metal sheet catalog in the bookshelf with your mind.
After a rough preview, Lant said to Sophia and Jonny: "Sofia, you and Jonny find time to call Little Cardinal and come here to study goblin magic patterns and magic transmission."
"Yeah," Sophia nodded desperately, "That's great. I believe it won't be long before our magic furnace can rival the goblins' works back then!"
Nowadays, the magic exploration projects in the Lant territory have been divided into several levels according to the level of confidentiality and the level of world involvement.
The first is the research on magic in the Goblin Age. There are two existing goblins who were once demigods and have now reached high-level levels. There are also many technical documents from the Goblin Age left. Sophia and Joni are the main force behind this research project. Their priority research direction is the transformation of the magic furnace in the new era and the linkage between the magic furnace.
Because the legend of the living goblins is too eye-catching, the level of secrecy of this research project is equivalent to that of Lant's dream kingdom. Currently only the big goblins and Wendy, Lili, Sophia and Jonny know about it, not even Gu Leiya.
Secondly, there is the research on current Poseidon magic and ancient mermaid magic. The main ones are Wendy, Qiucao, Jenny Galloping Horse and Yitris. Yitris has seen many ancient mermaid magic scrolls in her childhood. The old goblin mage Moglu Qiucao understands the pronunciation of the mermaid tribe back then, Qiucao is an expert in sounds and Wendy is an expert in magic patterns.
Another key direction of this research is to study the magical seaweed cultivation method of the sea monster clan. Participants also include Yinghuo and Tierney. In addition, Red Dragon Rock sent a sea beast clan archmage from the northern lake area to support. The local river The clan also sent a senior mage over.
There are many people involved in Poseidon magic research, but only a few people know the full story of the project. For example, Jenny Galloping Horse and the mermaid mage Itris are no longer involved in the magic seaweed project, and Tierney and Jonny are not involved in the mermaid project. Clan magic items.
The remaining research projects are relatively open, such as Halkara's magic plant repair, the development of new magic drinks, Tierney's magic crop cultivation, and the development of several magic pattern products of Lant, Firefly and half-elf Guanna Dent’s research on the midwifery technique of Warcraft.
After sorting out the magic projects on hand with the girls, everyone sighed: "There are too few reliable mages in the territory now!"
Those from the Benma family dare not use it, those from the Imperial Capital want to lie down, the level in the iron mine is too low, those from the Benma Academy have not grown up, and can only have a few girls taking turns, even Jenny and Yi Cui who have just joined. Silk, the two intermediate stegosaurs have already entered a very core level.
After checking the list of his cronies, Lant also frowned and said to Wendy: "Look at Daqila Feilong, Britt Lanyuan and that Zhuo Qian Shenghuo, and see if I can help you share some of the burden. In addition, some technologies may still have to be opened to the Tower of Purity or Red Dragon Rock, otherwise we really won’t have that much time to explore them carefully.”
Hearing that Lant wanted to share the magic plan, Wendy was the first to frown and said: "We should set up a magician's workshop for each technology and open it to outsiders. The Galloping Horse Fund will not give it to us. Subsidy!”
…
The discovery of a surviving Goblin Mechanic Master was just an interlude in Lant's excavation of a passage to Hindukel. However, with the cooperation of Orphen and the Magic Forge, the excavation work went smoother.
Orphen pointed out a natural passage to the forest south of Hindukel for Black Rabbit, and Black Rabbit and Elsa only needed to do some widening.
By the morning of September 23, a carriage-wide passage had been completed. Outside the west exit of the passage was the vast southern forest of Hindukel.
Lant had passed here many times before when he returned to Iowa from the basin. From the sky, the ground was completely covered by a canopy of tens of meters high. Even observation magic could hardly penetrate the trees.
Lant led the magic pattern tiger and the two great fairies Elsa and Misniel Hemlock to explore and clear the way ahead. In the middle was Nedland Wilson leading 50 barbarians, and finally 200 auxiliary troops. 20 carriages of various types came to the rear.
Soon, Netherlands led the knights past a 10-meter-wide, 20-meter-long stone bridge. This bridge was just built by Elsa. The river under the bridge leads to the Iowa Valley dozens of kilometers north. boundary river.
Netherland, who set foot in the hinterland of Hindukel for the first time, was a little confused as to why Lant only brought so few people with him on this expedition.
After crossing the boundary river, the forest became denser. Without the help of the two great fairies to open the way, the cavalry would have been unable to move forward in the forest.
Lant looked at the lush forest and sighed: "I really should bring Imola here, she has the most experience in setting up camp in the forest!"
When the group of people traveled 10 kilometers away from the cave exit, Lant took two big goblins to build a simple camp, and arranged for a logistics carriage to be stationed on the spot and place some tents.
"This will be our first supply station for our westward operations in the future,"
Lant looked at the newly built camp and said to Netherlands, "This camp is only one kilometer north of the forest. The orcs will not chase us in. We have a camp every 20 kilometers to the west. This will give the cavalry a quick way to move in the forest." The passage prevents the orcs from knowing our whereabouts and goals, nor can they cut off our logistics lines."
Ned Land nodded and said, "That's it. I thought you brought us to attack."
"The attack cannot be the closest, but you have to wait until next month after the orc army gathers near Iowa, and then you can bring the cavalry to sweep here." Lant said with a smile.
"Take the people and continue to build the road with the two big goblins, and try to build it to the westernmost end of Hindukel before the end of the month. I will also install the magic furnace in the next two days. Once completed, I will take you for a walk in the basin. Let’s go and get to know the neutral city-states and various tribes south of the basin. When you attack in the future, you must avoid these neutral city-states!”
"Yes, sir," Ned Land nodded. If he were an ordinary barbarian or knight, he would definitely think that anyone who looks like an orc should be an enemy, and there is no need to make a distinction. However, Ned Land understands that enemies and friends often do not depend on appearance. If you want to achieve greater victory, you must distinguish between friends and foes.
