Just as the three of them were still plotting, a series of loud bangs rang out. The door to the residence was being slammed loudly.
The three people in the room shuddered and looked at each other.
Vanessa was the owner of this place, and naturally had the highest authority here. She waved her hand casually, and a light screen appeared in front of her. The scene outside the residence was reflected on it.
Looking at the tall and familiar figure on the light screen, Vanessa's crimson mechanical eyes glowed brightly. Then, she fell silent for some reason.
The tall figure standing outside the door was none other than the Gnome Ripper that Tigole was riding.
The other two Gnome Mechanical Warlocks looked at each other, starting to feel that things were getting out of hand. They were heading in the direction of losing control. They had just been discussing Tigole, and he had already charged to the door. He was even in his standard battle form.
Could this be a coincidence?
Based on the time, the other party should have rushed here as soon as he left the Flame Monarch. Otherwise, the timing would not be so precise.
Seeing her two contacts so anxious, Princess Vanessa scolded them sternly before waving her hand to get them to leave.
In a secret room in the residence, there were a few Gnome Teleportation Devices that led to different regions. They could avoid the Wizard's Pagoda's inspection and allow the Gnomes to enter and leave while concealed.
After the figures of the two Gnome Warlocks disappeared from the Gnome Teleportation Device, Vanessa regained her composure. Then, she strolled to the door and removed the witchcraft protection around the residence.
The door opened.
Tigole rode on the Goblin Ripper and smashed open the alloy door of the residence. His heavy footsteps rumbled as he barged in. Behind him, there were a dozen fully armed Battle Magic Machines.
"Tigole, this is my private residence. You … You have no right to barge in!" Vanessa's crimson mechanical eyes shone with a bright red glow. She opened her arms wide and stood in front of the tall metal Magic Machine, questioning him angrily.
The Gnome Ripper ignored Vanessa's question. It lifted its huge leg and stepped over her head, smashing open the doors of four to five secret rooms until it found the Gnome Teleportation Devices.
The operating principles of the Gnome Teleportation Devices were completely different from the Teleportation Formations of the Wizards. As such, they could bypass the other party's surveillance and detection. If Vanessa only wanted her own convenience, a Gnome Teleportation Device would suffice.
But now, there were five expensive goblin teleportation devices in front of her. It might work if she said that Vanessa was using them to save a few steps, but it would be too childish if she wanted to use it to deceive Tichole.
The moment the Goblin Ripper saw the five Goblin Teleportation Instruments, it suddenly froze on the spot. Vanessa, who was following closely behind it, also fell silent.
After a long time, the Goblin Ripper stood up and silently waved its hand.
The dozen powerful Battle Magic Machines that followed it into the house slowly retreated and closed the door. However, they did not leave. Instead, they assumed a fighting stance and stood guard.
After a long while, the Goblin Ripper finally turned around slowly, and faced the petite and adorable Princess Vanessa with its ferocious steel body.
"Long time no see, Vanessa …" Tichole's deep and tired voice came from the ferocious steel body. "Can you explain to me why these Gnome Teleportation Devices are here?"
Princess Vanessa's completely metallic body did not move. Even her exquisite and perfect mechanical face was expressionless.
She obviously refused to answer Tichole's question.
"What are you trying to do?" Tichole's voice was filled with anger and powerlessness, but there was an unconcealable anxiety in it.
Faced with the question of her admirer, Vanessa finally spoke.
"Help the Gnomes rise again!"
"Rely on what? Rely on the pity and charity of the Wizards? The magic crystals you use belong to the Wizards. The knowledge you learn belongs to the Wizards. The space you live in belongs to the Wizards … Everything you have belongs to the Wizards. What do you have to fight against the Wizards? With the lives of 300 million Gnomes? " The rage in Tichole's chest grew, and his tone became sharper. In the end, he even roared.
"But everything that you said was originally ours! The Wizards took everything from us, and then threw the leftovers back to us as a reward for our 'loyalty' and 'diligence'. This is not fair! I want to take back everything that belongs to us … "Facing Tichole who was shouting himself hoarse, Vanessa finally roared.
She clenched her fists and roared loudly. This was the first time she had spoken her heart out loud.
"So that's what you think." Faced with Vanessa who had finally 'opened her heart' to him, Tichole was not as irascible. "Then, do you know why I'm here today?"
"It's that tyrant. It's that evil Wizard who took everything from us who sent you here …"
"That's right. Perhaps what you said is right. But … so what? You've lived in the Magus World for decades, and should have seen and experienced the power of the Wizards. Do you think … that if Lord Grim did not invade and enslave the Gnomes, we would be able to continue living on our own? "
Vanessa, who had been roaring just a moment ago, suddenly shut her mouth and chose to remain silent.
She was no longer the little Gnome princess who was ignorant and narrow-minded. She was now a mechanical Wizard who had seen and experienced the outside world. Through reading a large number of books written by the wizards and witnessing many examples with her own eyes, Vanessa now clearly understood how isolated and primitive the goblins' plane was in the past.
Even though she did not want to admit it, she could not avoid the problems that existed in the Gnome Plane due to the civilization she had received and instilled in her all these years.
Compared to the Magus World and the thousands of secondary planes that were enslaved by the Magus World, the Gnome Plane was too weak and backward!
The only thing that could be praised in the Gnome Plane was the shocking amount of metal resources.
As for the Gnomes, they were a bunch of weak races that guarded the treasure trove of resources, but did not have the ability to own them.
Even if they encountered any other plane of a larger scale, the Gnomes would not be able to escape the fate of being enslaved and slaughtered, much less the Magus World.
Furthermore, metal resources were rare, but the Gnomes did not qualify as resources. They did not even have the right to be enslaved.
Hence, meeting the Crimson Family and Grimm in the Gnome Plane was considered to be rather fortunate. At least the Crimson Family did not use the most barbaric and cruel method to rule the Gnome Plane. They did not enslave the Gnomes and make them miners.
This was already a blessing in disguise!
However, just like Vanessa's identity as a princess, she could not get rid of the heavy and damned label on her. As the only remaining noble princess of the Gnome Royal Family, Vanessa had always dreamed that the glory and glory of the Gnome Empire would continue in her hands.
And this unrealistic fantasy also forced her to carry out the unspeakable 'escape plan' step by step!
In the past, Vanessa had always thought that she had been very secretive and successful.
However, when Tigole, who was far away from the whirlpool, suddenly appeared in front of her, she suddenly realized that her every move was under the control of the Magi.
How much information did the Magi have? How many core members of the Magic Association had been exposed? Could the escape plan still be carried out? …
Just as Vanessa's mind was in a mess, and she did not know what to do, the cockpit of the Gnome Ripper opened, and Tigole, who was dressed in a tight leather suit, jumped out. He came before her and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her lightly. "Wake up, Vanessa. Your plan and your people are all under the control of the Crimson Family. No matter how good your intentions are, your reckless actions will not bring the Gnomes a bright future. It will only lead more Gnomes to fall into the abyss with you. Turn back, Vanessa. As long as you are willing to give up on these fantasies, I … I can use my life to protect you and continue living … "
Although Vanessa was more petite than Tigole, her "weakness" was only on the surface. At the end of the day, Vanessa also had the abilities of a high-grade Mechanical Witch. At such a close distance, it was not a problem to deal with Tigole, who was only a mid-grade Magus.
If Tigole hid in the Gnome Ripper, he might be able to unleash the terrifying power of a high-grade Magus. But once he came out, he would only be a slightly stronger Gnome Magic Machine Manipulator!
The pair of strange crimson mechanical eyes on Vanessa's exquisite and perfect face shone brightly …
…
On the top floor of the White Tower.
In the spacious and bright Witchcraft Hall, Winley sat upright and still, quietly listening to the old sly fox, Count Winley's report.
In the corner of the hall, Kabi was rubbing his hands with an excited expression.
"You mean … that Tigole has already brought his men into Vanessa's residence, and then asked his men to retreat, leaving him alone inside?" Winley's crimson eyes shone with a frightening light as she asked in a cold voice.
"Yes!"
"Is there anything strange in Vanessa's residence?"
"We have been monitoring closely during this period of time. We have never seen her communicating with the other members of the Magus Association, but the activities of the Magus Association have been increasing day by day. So … I suspect that there might be some special equipment in her residence that can communicate with the outside world. "Winley had been assisting Winley all these years, and had become more experienced and capable.
"My Lady, if I'm not wrong, Vanessa might have some Gnome Teleportation Devices hidden there."
"Teleportation Devices? What's their use? "Winley frowned when she heard the word" teleportation. "
"Those devices are only effective for Gnomes. They can be used for point-to-point short-distance teleportation. The teleportation distance is less than 100 miles …"
"Teleportation of Gnomes?" Winley's eyes widened. She stood up abruptly and ordered, "Go, detain Vanessa immediately. If she dares to resist … kill her! "
"Yes!"
