Father Mazik is an old goblin with an old face and a stooped body.
To be honest, it was beyond Locke's expectations that it could survive the plane suppression and reach the wizarding world alive.
In terms of appearance alone, it and Locke stand together, and outsiders would only regard them as a pair of goblin grandsons. But who could know that Father Mazik is actually the goblin Locke has had the closest relationship with since childhood.
partner.
Seeing the little goblin bringing Locke, a smile immediately appeared on the wrinkled old face of Mr. Mazik.
"It turns out to be little Harold! Since you're here, please help me guard the store first. Locke and I still have something to say..." After that, Father Mazik took out a bottle from under the dark counter.
The exquisitely crafted mechanical chicken was thrown into the little goblin's arms, and he shook his head at Locke, and the two of them entered the warehouse behind the store one after another.
The warehouse was crowded and dark, with tall iron shelves everywhere, filled with strange creations of various shapes and unclear uses.
And Father Mazik didn't hold a lamp, so he stood in the darkness, silently watching this childhood friend who was completely different from him.
The basic lifespan of green goblins is only thirty to forty years, and even if they are properly cared for, they will not live past sixty years.
However, since Locke successfully advanced to level 1 in the wizarding world, nourished by the magic energy package and magic breath, its life has far exceeded the lifespan limit of ordinary goblins. If there are no accidents, Locke can at least live for another time.
120 years.
Although such lives are much rarer than human wizards, they are already amazing compared to most of their companions.
Therefore, this pair of childhood friends, who have been together since childhood, are standing together at this moment. One is in his prime like a young goblin of seven or eight years old, and the other is old and aging like the flesh of an old coffin about to be buried.
The difference in appearance between the two was so great that the two goblins were in awe!
"Did the princess ask you to come?" In the darkness, Locke's eyes flickered.
"You...how do you know?" Father Mazik opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his shocked expression was not fake at all.
"Ha... If Mr. Tigur or Mr. Kirby asked you to come, it would be impossible to be so mysterious..." Since being promoted to a magic weapon master, Locke's soaring mental power has also made Locke's mind and thinking become more and more mysterious.
It was completely different from before: "After thinking about it, probably only Her Royal Highness would put such thought into it!"
It took a lot of effort for Father Mazik to break free from the shock in his heart.
The 'handsome' young goblin in front of him makes him both familiar and strange at the same time!
What is familiar is the youthful face, but what is unfamiliar is the meaningful smile on the corner of the other person's mouth.
Father Mazik calmed down and finally asked those words.
"Locke, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to ask you something. Do you... still think you are a goblin?"
Locke closed his eyes in the darkness and thought for a full quarter of an hour before opening his eyes again.
"I have green skin, and the blood of goblins flows in my body. Of course I am still a goblin! This is an irrefutable fact!"
"As long as you still think of yourself as a goblin..." Father Mazik breathed a sigh of relief quietly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess wants you to join the Magic Society!"
What was supposed to come finally came!
Locke sighed and fell into the long test again.
Over the years, as a large number of goblins have integrated into the Crimson Family, many goblin organizations have emerged one after another in the Throne of Fire, the White Tower, and various goblin stations.
Like the 'King of Steam', 'Magic Machine Research Society', 'Goblin Mutual Aid Association', 'Green Peace'... some organizations are for the sake of retro, and want to bring the goblins back to the great steam age; some organizations are purely
In order to bring the goblins together to avoid being bullied by aliens...
However, the most famous among them is probably the ‘Magic Society’ founded by the goblin princess Vanessa!
At the beginning of the establishment of the Magic Power Association, Princess Vanessa launched a call to gather all the goblins who have mastered extraordinary power, conduct in-depth research and master the great magic power, and make the goblin camp glorious and powerful again.
It sounds like a very good original intention and an ideal worthy of admiration.
But it is a pity that there are very few candidates!
Not to mention new wizards like Locke, even the great Goblin God of War Tigul didn't seem to join this magic society. And the Goblin Great Sage Kirby directly rejected Princess Vanessa's invitation.
This incident also caused quite a stir and discussion among the goblin community.
Some said that this was a fight for power among several goblin bosses, and some said that Princess Vanessa's ambitions and ambitions were so great that others did not dare to get close...
But no matter what, the Magic Society was successfully established in the White Tower at the strong request of Princess Vanessa.
Some time ago, Locke had heard from some channels that Princess Vanessa was trying to get close to Dean Gongga, hoping to draw all the goblin engineers from the Magic Alloy Laboratory into the Magic Society.
This further confirmed Locke's conjectures.
As expected, Princess Vanessa has not given up on the past glory and splendor of the Goblin Empire, and wants to seek a certain degree of independence and freedom. And the person she most wants to imitate is probably the man who took care of himself in the plane of Lance.
It’s because of Gazlowe’s brain!
Magical energy will... That Princess Vanessa probably placed all her hopes on magical energy, thinking that as long as the goblins mastered magical energy, they would be able to get rid of the control of wizards and become truly independent from then on.
As a goblin with a narrow mind and low vision, it is actually understandable to have such delusions and thoughts. However, as an advanced goblin, Locke's ideas and vision are completely different from other goblins.
What is magic?
It’s just a magical power that fills the world of planes and beyond!
It is precisely because of magic energy that humans have given birth to wizards, thus developing a great wizard civilization.
Relying on the power of faith, the world of gods gave birth to gods of all sizes to rule one side.
Powerful races in the universe such as the Titans rely on their compatibility with magical energy to dominate the entire multiverse.
So many races and so many worlds have become powerful through magic energy. It stands to reason that the goblins should be able to do the same.
Unfortunately, the goblin plane is a rare low-demon plane!
The plane environment there was not enough to support a system of magic energy users, so the goblin plane embarked on a unique development path - steam machinery.
Unfortunately, compared with magical energy, the power of steam machinery is too weak.
Therefore, in an 'unexpected' wizard invasion, the entire goblin plane became an accessory of the Crimson Family, and many goblins became slaves and servants.
The resources of the entire plane can be usurped by others, and the population of the entire plane can be driven by others... Although such a life is bitter, it is also a fate that is always difficult to escape in the Goblin Plane.
Locke came to the wizarding world, read many books, and mastered powerful magical powers. He looked back at his world and country again, and felt a sense of regret for his misfortune and anger for his inability to fight!
The goblins are not a powerful race to begin with, and they encountered a world with low magic, so they showed an overall "weakness". The essence and strength of the entire plane were gathered together, but they could not withstand the power of a small wizard family in the wizarding world.
Invasion, this...what's there to complain about?
From another point of view, if the goblin plane is a high-demon plane, can the goblin clan still occupy the dominance of the plane with steam machinery due to their innate weakness?
Taking a step back, Wizard Meryl of the Crimson Family is already a rare moderate in the wizarding community. The policies and methods she implements in the goblin plane are so mild that even Locke feels they are too 'indulgent'
.How could any other wizard family give the goblins so much freedom and power?
Among the many goblins Locke has come into contact with, they have no idea that the wizard Meryl, whom they fear like a tiger and respect like a god, is only an 'insignificant' first-level witch in the Crimson family. And above her,
There are also the terrifying Level 2 insect witch Bliss, the mysterious Level 2 witch Alice, and the incredibly powerful Level 3 legendary wizard Grim and Blood Queen Mary.
The idea of resisting the rule of the Crimson Family is undoubtedly very dangerous, and may even drag the entire goblin camp into the bottomless abyss!
And that Princess Vanessa mastered the power of magic for the first time, and her sense of vanity about the expansion of power made her heart swell, and she could no longer clearly see the huge irreparable strength gap between goblins and wizards.
Resistance... what to rely on to resist... magic power?
Wizards have been studying magic energy for tens of thousands of years, and the goblins dare to claim to surpass them with decades of research? This bet is too big... One bad move will cost the entire goblin plane.
Glossy.
Once the resistance fails and is branded as a traitor by the wizards, all goblins will probably pay a heavy price for this.
When he thought that he would lose his current life, when he thought that he would be branded as a slave and sent to a dark and damp mine, Locke's heart beat uncontrollably.
"Locke...Locke...you...will you join us?" Father Mazik asked timidly.
"Yes!" Locke suddenly smiled, and his face was filled with a gentle smile again: "Mazik, after all, you are my best partner. Even if I don't help others, I will definitely help you!"
"That's good... that's good..." The frightened Mazik finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I will arrange for you to meet with Her Royal Highness the Princess's emissary now?"
"There's no rush, I still need to go to the Black Forest to do a few tasks tomorrow, and I'll be able to return in about four days. It won't be too late to meet the emissary then!"
"Okay, then I will ask the emissary to wait for you here for a few days. You must go early and come back early!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back. We are all goblins, and the goblins will definitely help the goblins!"
"Yes, the goblins will definitely help the goblins!"
"By the way, Mazik, please remodel your goblin shop! The door of the shop is so low and small. It doesn't serve the outside world at first glance, and it can easily arouse the suspicion of outsiders..."
With Father Mazik's repeated promises, the two goblins left the warehouse. (To be continued)
