Chapter 809 The construction of Stormwind City has been accelerated
"You are really..." After Nalant heard this, he was really speechless for this guy.
Although he is a prisoner, he is still the leader of the clan, yet he is doing such a sneaky thing.
But then I thought about it, wasn't this the reputation of goblins in the past?
If these guys encounter a weaker human caravan in the wasteland and act as bandits on the spur of the moment, they will be able to do it easily.
"Mario, what is the punishment for stealing in the territory?"
Although it is common for these goblins to dare to steal chickens and dogs, and stealing a few cream cakes and a few bottles of wine is just a big deal to Nalant.
But this unhealthy trend cannot be allowed to spread, so Narant must give this guy a good beating.
Otherwise, if thousands of goblins follow the same example, how can Nalant lead his team in the future?
"Sir, according to the laws of the Principality, if the thief is a minor offender and is the first offender, then he will be whipped fifteen times and then hung on a wooden pole for three days as punishment!"
"If the circumstances are serious or if the offender is a repeat offender, one of his hands can be chopped off or he can be hanged directly!"
Upon hearing this, Mario immediately spoke out the law seriously.
"Ah! My dear sir, please have mercy. Lumba will never dare to do it again. My lord, please don't hang me in the square!"
After hearing this, Lumba was shocked.
In the past, I thought things like stealing were just trivial things.
Even if you are caught, the most important thing is to apologize or pay compensation.
Little did he expect that not only would he be beaten, but he would also be hung on a wooden pole in public.
If this is really the case, how will he, the leader, face a group of goblin subordinates in the future?
"Lumba, although you have become my subordinate now, this law is the foundation for maintaining order in the territory!"
"If I let you go so easily this time, then there will be chaos in the Storm Territory in the future!"
"And will other goblins imitate your leader and start stealing in the Storm Territory?"
Narant frowned and pretended to be embarrassed, although he would not really whip this guy in public for a few pieces of cream cake.
After all, Lumba is still the leader of the goblins. Before the goblins are completely conquered, this guy still has some use.
But Narant still had to teach him the necessary profound lesson.
"This...this..." After listening to Nalant's words, Lumba thought that Nalant really wanted to punish him, and he suddenly trembled in fright.
"Okay!" Seeing that the effect was almost the same, Nalant immediately waved his hand.
"But Lumba, you are loyal to me as the lord after all, even though everyone is equal before the law."
"But these days I have also seen how loyal you are, Lumba, so I will temporarily record this punishment. If you can change your ways in the future, then I will no longer pursue you!"
"Sir, this is inappropriate. If you don't punish Lord Lomba this time, will it tarnish your reputation?"
"And if other people break the law in the future, they will probably feel unfair because of this!"
Mario was very discerning and understood his master's thoughts thoroughly, and immediately cooperated in a timely manner.
"Mario, if it were anyone else, even Raymond and the others, if they made the same mistake this time, I would not forgive them lightly."
"But Lumba is different, because he is a goblin. Although goblins are not strong in combat, they actually had a very glorious history tens of thousands of years ago!"
"Sir, I yearn for the magic of the Goblins in the past. Although they are now in decline, I can take this opportunity to give Lumba a chance to change his ways!"
"So, you don't have to persuade me anymore. If anyone questions, let him come to me, the lord!"
Nalant's tone was serious and he refuted Mario's words with righteous words.
"Yes, sir!" Mario heard this and immediately responded respectfully.
At this moment, Lumba looked at Nalant with eyes full of excitement.
Goblins used to be something that everyone wanted to fight, not just because they were weak.
Also because Goblins really like to do some sneaky things.
It can be said that there are really no people who identify with their Goblin clan.
Even the goblins themselves are broken, and the only consolation in their hearts is that they were also glorious tens of thousands of years ago.
But just now Nalant not only expressed his recognition of their Goblin clan, but also admired the Goblins who had once been glorious.
In this way, Lumba seemed to have found a soulmate at this moment.
I wish I could make a blood alliance with the human noble in front of me and become brothers.
"Okay, Mario, get out of here!"
Nalant looked at Lumba as if he hadn't seen him, and waved his hand to call Mario and others away.
After Mario and others left, Nalant said to Rumba: "Rumba, sit down!"
"If you want to eat cream cake and wine in the future, then come to the castle and tell me!"
"Although due to rules, adults cannot provide you with these delicacies for free every day, it is still okay to reward you with some occasionally!"
"Thank you, distinguished sir!" Lumba was so moved after hearing these words that he couldn't help himself.
His face was tangled for a moment, then he thought about it and took out a thin booklet from his arms.
"My distinguished lord, Lumba wants to confess to you that Lumba lied to you some time ago!"
"Actually, although the book I gave you last time was handed down from ancient times, it is no longer of much use because many of the materials can no longer be found!"
"Oh?" The words "Sure enough" flashed through Nalant's heart.
But his face was calm.
"What about this one?"
"Dear Sir, although the number of weapons and equipment recorded in this book is small, the materials can be collected!"
"As long as enough materials are collected, these weapons can be forged!"
"This booklet has been kept in our Death Swamp Goblin clan for decades!"
"But because we are so poor and cannot collect so many materials, we haven't actually forged the weapons and equipment according to the booklet until now!"
"My noble lord, you are a benevolent human noble, and you are the only one who thinks highly of our Goblin family, so I am willing to help you!"
"And this booklet is given to you, sir!"
"This...isn't this bad, Lumba, after all, this is the secret of your Goblin clan!"
"Honorable Sir, although our Goblin race is large in number, we are now scattered in remote places. In fact, holding this booklet is of little use!"
"So, I might as well leave it to you. Maybe you can restore the glory of our goblins in your hands!"
"In this way, the races on the mainland should no longer doubt that the glory of our goblins tens of thousands of years ago is also false!"
With that said, Lumba handed the booklet directly to Nalant's hand!
"Rumba, don't worry, if I can really forge these weapons, I will definitely help you clear the name of the Goblin clan!" Nalant assured Lumba with a sincere face.
"Sir, you are a good nobleman!"
Lumba was almost moved to tears.
Immediately, Narant asked his servants to take Lumba down to enjoy a delicious meal.
And I opened the booklet I just got this time.
To be honest, after what happened today, Nalant just wanted to test whether the Goblin really had any secrets.
Unexpectedly, this trial actually yielded good results.
"Magic carriage!"
Turning to the first page, Narant saw an absolutely advanced device in this medieval setting.
The shape of this magic carriage is actually very similar to the shape of a large truck in the 19th century.
Of course, this magic car does not have an engine, but relies on magic energy to provide power just like the airship.
And the device for operating the direction is not as advanced as in previous generations.
The steering device of the magic carriage here is the simplest handle steering, which is similar to a walking tractor.
"Tsk, tsk, if this thing is produced, wouldn't it be possible to transport supplies and soldiers much faster in the future?"
Narante continued to look down.
Magic energy cannon!
When Narant saw the second page, his spirit was shocked again.
Because he finally found the weapon he cared about most.
The power of the goblin's cannon is comparable to that of the Earth Knight, and it is definitely a killer weapon that makes people drool.
"The material of the gun body is not much different from ordinary weapons and equipment!"
"The only thing needed is to engrave a mana slot on the barrel to facilitate the placement of the mana stone, and to allow the energy of the mana stone to be concentrated in the barrel!"
Nalant carefully read the manufacturing method and principle of this magic energy cannon.
In the end, it was concluded that the Goblin weapons and equipment were all designed based on the Mana Stone.
Whether it is the magic carriage or the magic cannon, they are inseparable from the magic stone.
Then, Nalant looked back and saw that the magic power machine, well, was the crane-like existence in his previous life.
This thing can be used for many purposes, such as pulling heavy objects to high places.
For example, it can be placed in a mill and can drive the mill to rotate without the need for livestock.
"The magic stone is really a good thing, but it is said that the magic stone is very rare in the mainland now, and it is also very expensive!"
After roughly reading the last few pages of the booklet, Narant came to this result.
If you want to forge these goblin weapons, the magic stone is essential.
After reading the booklet, Nalant sent someone to deliver a message to Mario, which was to entrust the caravan to purchase the magic stone. In addition, the next time the dwarves came to collect the wine, he asked them to send a message to the dwarf Black Tower.
Letters go.
After these things were explained, Nalant became relaxed and leisurely again in the next few days.
In addition to practicing when I have time, I also go to the Stormwind City construction site.
Not to mention, when he went to the Stormwind City wall construction site again after more than a month, Nalant was surprised to find that the construction progress of the city wall had actually improved.
"Mario, why is the construction speed so fast?"
The construction of this city wall started several months ago.
A few months ago, Narant also paid attention to the fact that it would take almost a month to build a building less than fifty meters tall.
This is because of the addition of orc captives.
Although the Harmony Orc captives have no brains, they are really strong and are natural-born coolies.
In this way, the progress of fifty meters of city wall in one month is not too slow.
But now Nalanant compares it and finds that the speed in the past two months has increased several times.
"Sir, this is all because of those goblins!"
"I never expected that although these goblins are short in stature, they are really fast and good at building city walls!"
"Look at those Goblins. They only need more than ten people and dozens of minutes to chip away such a large piece of bluestone to a usable standard!"
Mario pointed to the goblin who was working hard aside.
Narant looked along and saw a rock there the size of a small car in his previous life.
The rock blocks were obviously not flat when they were transported. They had many edges and corners, and the surface was also uneven.
But more than a dozen goblins swarmed up, some on the side of the boulder, and some on the top of the boulder, holding a chisel of more than 20 centimeters, and kept chipping away at it.
These goblins moved very fast, and sparks and stone chips flew into the field.
Soon the side of the big rock began to flatten out.
Narant was also dumbfounded.
Although the rock is not as hard as imagined for the extraordinary knight.
For example, with Nalant's current strength, he can cut off the stone with one sword.
But the problem is that if he wants to dig out stones with a smooth surface, he still can't achieve such precise magic power.
But these goblins don't need to use measuring tools at all. Every time they go chisel, the surface is almost even.
"Sir, what slowed down the construction of the city wall in the past was the need to repair these cornerstone stones!"
"But with the addition of goblins, the rest of this cornerstone has become faster!"
"Especially after Lumba, the leader of the goblins, was pardoned by you last time and what he told these goblins, the speed of these goblins' work became faster, at least twice as fast as before."
"So, the city wall that can be built in less than a month can reach at least 500 meters!"
"Five hundred meters?" Nalant was a little surprised.
"Yes sir!"
"So, the inner city wall of Stormwind City will be built at least five or six years earlier than we planned?"
"Yes, sir, I estimate that if we continue at this rate, the inner city wall will be completed in two years!"
"If you can find more goblins, I think it's not impossible to complete it within a year!"
Mario nodded in affirmation.
"Very good!" Narante smiled.
Although he definitely can't find more goblins now, the inner city wall can be completed in two years, which is definitely good news.
As long as there is a city wall, the Storm Territory will be impregnable from now on. It will no longer be like it is now. Once an enemy attacks, there will be no place for the serfs to hide.
"Mario, since these goblins work so hard, remember to give them better treatment!"
"Yes, sir!"
The goblin's talent for construction was an unexpected surprise to Nalant.
So Narant is not stingy. If he wants the horses to run fast, he must feed them well!
Next, Nalant did not stay at the construction site anymore, but chose to return to the castle.
However, before returning, I asked about the purchase of magic stones.
Mario's reply was that he had contacted those caravans as instructed.
There's just no news yet.
In this way, Nalant could only wait peacefully in the territory.
