Lance Plane.
Inside the huge metal fortress, all the machines were operating at the highest efficiency.
Hundreds of construction machines were busy working in the dark tunnel in the metal mine nearly a kilometer underground. There were no humans here at all, so there were no lamps for lighting. All the machines were busy moving in and out of the deep darkness, transporting the mined ores into the elevator shaft.
Most of the ores that had just been mined were iron ores rich in metal. They needed to be transported to the grinding workshop to be crushed into fine slags before being sent to the smelting workshop for preliminary metal refinement. After that, they had to be sent to the refining workshop to be cast into metal ingots that were easier to transport and store …
The machines in the workshops that were closely connected to each other were roaring, and the conveyor belts were running non-stop. Until the metal ingots that were one meter square and weighed one ton were transported to the warehouse, this fully automated metal mining, smelting, and casting process was officially completed.
Ever since the brain monster Gaz Lurvi commanded the metal fortress to set up a foundation in the Stoneclaw Mountains, the mining of resources and the creation of magic machines had never stopped. In just three to five years, a huge mineral vein that spanned over a hundred kilometers had been almost completely excavated. The foundation of the entire Stoneclaw Mountains had been dug out. Many areas had serious land subsidence and mountain collapses.
Meanwhile, the brain monster Gaz Lurvi had obtained up to 110,000 primal bodies of Magic Machine Warriors.
Unfortunately, they were only primal bodies of Magic Machine Warriors and not combat bodies that had activated the intelligent control center. It was not that Gaz Lurvi did not want to activate them all, but … the energy supply of the metal fortress could not keep up.
If each Magic Machine Warrior wanted to maintain normal activities for a whole day, they would need to consume 4-6 magic energy batteries. If they were to face a tense battle, the energy consumption would double. However, the magic energy produced by the Magic Furnace that the brain monster Gaz Lurvi could only fill up to 800 magic energy batteries in a day at most.
Moreover, in addition to the magic energy batteries, the metal fortress also had many magic machine manufacturing and research workshops that needed a large amount of magic energy to maintain the operation. In this way, the Magic Furnace could only produce 500 magic energy batteries a day, which was already the limit.
In order to save magic energy as much as possible, all the Magic Machine Warriors that walked down the assembly line remained in their primal body state and were not activated. They were then stuffed into the hollowed out mountains in batches. On the other hand, the metal fortress only maintained the minimum number of 150 Magical Mechanical Warriors.
After years of recuperation, the brain monster, Gaz 'ruvi, had finally accumulated nearly a million magical energy batteries with great difficulty. This also meant that the brain monster, Gaz 'ruvi, who had endured for many years, finally had a material basis for a strong explosion.
Just as Gaz 'ruvi was silently thinking about which Dragon Lord he should target, a rare visitor came to the metal fortress.
"Dear Madam Alice, welcome to the Metal Fortress. How may I be of service to you?" Although Gaz 'ruvi's rank was higher than Alice's, the brain monster that was under the control of others was very clear about its position. Thus, when facing this woman who was likely to become its mistress, it was extremely fawning and passionate.
In a purple starry robe, Alice, who had regained her beauty, stood alone in the spacious and huge metal hall. Apart from the silver-white metal floor, there was nothing else she could see. As the Magic Furnace that Gaz 'ruvi resided in had now become the magical energy source of the entire metal fortress, it could not easily leave the engine room. Thus, he could only communicate with Alice through spiritual messages.
Alice held a mysterious staff that was much taller than her, and the lively magic spirit Helen was flying on her shoulder. She squinted her eyes and looked around before asking softly, "Your Excellency Gaz 'ruvi, have you received the warning message from the Flame Monarch?"
A moment later, the spacious metal hall immediately overflowed with Gaz 'ruvi's unique spiritual waves.
"I've received it and responded to their call. I've dispatched 200 Magic Machine Warriors and 20,000 magical energy batteries."
"These are not enough to solve the crisis that the Crimson Throne is facing!" Alice said resolutely.
"That's not my problem, beautiful lady!" Gaz 'ruvi laughed coldly. "Before Master left, he ordered me to protect this metal fortress and provide a stable and safe base for the Crimson Family. As for everything that happens in the Magus World, it's not within my jurisdiction! "
"But the Crimson Throne is extremely important to your master. It should not be abandoned in the hands of the enemy like this!"
"I still have the same answer!" Gaz 'ruvi insisted. "This is not my problem. If you want me to pay more, please get Master's orders. "
Alice smiled slightly.
Although Grim still maintained a weak connection with her, they were in a dangerous place and could not be contacted at all times. Thus, Gaz 'ruvi's insistence was actually just an excuse.
It was obvious that Gaz 'ruvi had already regarded the entire metal fortress and its appendages as his own private property. He was not willing to contribute more to' others' other than his master. Although he did not mind maintaining cooperation with the other Magi of the Crimson Family, it was wishful thinking to use the military forces and resources under him.
Alice was obviously prepared for such a situation.
"Your Excellency Gaz 'ruvi, you're planning to walk the path of spiritual mutation, right? What are your thoughts on the direction of advancement in the future? "
The hall suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Gaz 'ruvi's spiritual undulations appeared again.
"I heard that you're a great Witch of Destiny! I wonder if you have any suggestions or guidance for my current development? " Surprisingly, the previously arrogant Grade 3 brain monster was extremely humble at this moment, and its figure was especially soft.
"I can't say that I have any suggestions or guidance. I'm just curious and interested in your current situation. A proud and intelligent person like you naturally has long-term plans and adjustments for your life. However, I need to remind you of a problem … Never, ever underestimate the development of your origin! "
The hall was silent for a moment.
"You mean to say that I've already deviated from my origin?"
Alice smiled lightly once again.
"What do you think?"
"… I was originally a Goblin Duke in the Goblin Empire. In order to escape the shackles of life, I thought of ways to mutate my brain into its current form. For this, I even completely abandoned my previous identity as a goblin and completely regarded myself as a brain monster. So … The origin of my soul should be … spiritual force! "
"It's good that you understand!" Alice gently grabbed Helen, who was flying around in front of her, and placed her on her shoulder again before continuing, "Your soul's origin is on the path of spiritual mutation. Its characteristic is that it can assimilate foreign metals that have been infused with magical energy. This powerful ability has become your most powerful tool, helping you to build such a grand metal fortress. If there were no restrictions on energy and resources, it would be more than enough for you to build a city of steel by yourself … "
Hearing Alice's flattery, Gaz 'ruvi did not feel happy at all. Instead, he quietly waited for the change in her words.
As expected, Alice's tone changed, and she said the words that he did not want to hear the most.
"It's a pity that such a powerful ability has bewitched you and made you forget the origin of your soul. Your origin is spiritual force, and not the forging of foreign magic machinery. Building so many magic machinery warriors may give you a false illusion that you're becoming stronger, but … I still want to ask you one more thing. Since you chose to fuse with the Magic Furnace, has your own strength really strengthened? "
The metal hall fell silent once more.
This time, it was really dead silent. Even the continuous rumbling in the distance and the faint vibration under their feet suddenly stopped. This metal city made of pure foreign metals suddenly fell into a true deathly silence.
After a long time …
Gaz 'ruvi's spiritual wave connected to Alice again.
"It seems that I've wasted all these years in vain. I've spent all my energy on the meaningless building of the magic machinery army. If I can't find a development path that's really suitable for me, my path of evolution may stay at grade 3 forever. This … This … is absolutely unbearable for me … "
"Don't always think to extremes. Your current behavior is not completely wrong. At least, you can absolutely guarantee your own safety before you have a chance to consider the future development path. You haven't really wasted all these years. At least, the magic machinery army you built has protected your safety, and has become the body and cornerstone to carry out and execute your will in the future. As long as you find the right direction, with the help of the magic machinery army, your progress will be much faster … "
"But I'm very confused … I really don't know how a real brain monster should advance? Let my brain divide and multiply more, or find a way to devour the brains of some other intelligent life? I'm very confused and confused … "
"Maybe I can provide you with a suitable way to obtain the knowledge of brain monster advancement …"
"Really …"
Gaz 'ruvi's spiritual wave suddenly became intense, and the entire metal fortress rumbled with its spiritual' secret language 'that was almost like a roar. Fortunately, Alice had cut off the spiritual channel between the two of them in advance. Otherwise, she would definitely be stunned by the 'spiritual shock wave' of a grade 3 brain monster.
"But my information is never free. Now it depends on how much you're willing to pay for it!"
Then, the metal hall was filled with whispers between Alice and Gaz 'ruvi. Their voices became softer and softer.
