Chapter 364: Goblin Legion and Fel Skaven （Part 1）
Owen was very satisfied with the inspection of the Underground City. The only problem was that in order for many projects to continue, he needed to spend a lot of time exchanging for the resources, knowledge, and items required by researchers such as Emily, because only he, with the system, could do it.
But the resources required for the research institute were simply a bottomless pit. Owen had to make some choices, choosing which ones were priorities, which ones needed to be postponed, and which ones only needed theoretical reserves. Otherwise, directly launching projects like Sky City or Void Battleship would definitely drag the territory down, so he had to prioritize.
With Owen’s current abilities, he obviously couldn’t do this job well, but he was the only one in the entire territory qualified to make the choice.
Considering the actual situation, Owen decided to let the research center continue to improve the Limit Warrior enhancement, and then design a set of Terminator Power Armor based on the Power Armor to fill the gap between the Limit Warriors and the bipedal mechanical puppets.
However, the improvement of the Power Armor needed to solve the material problem first, and this required Owen to reopen the portal that had been broken for thirty years to obtain rare materials from the Otherworldly Mountains.
You know, every set of Power Armor requires the consumption of Mithril and Adamantine. It is not realistic to rely solely on the territory to collect them without the resources of the mountains.
Now many rare resources in the territory are almost exhausted. If there is no source, I am afraid that many research projects will have to be stopped, and even the production of Power Armor will have to be suspended.
It just so happened that Owen planned to go to Green Shade City to see if he could solve this problem. Moreover, that was the most troublesome place in the territory, otherwise he wouldn’t have left it for last.
After resting for a day, Owen set off for Green Shade City. Compared with North City, which is becoming more and more magnificent, Green Shade City is more like being integrated into the forest. Here, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the city walls and the trees. Even the buildings are perfectly integrated into the natural environment, resulting in the city’s green area exceeding 50%. Except for roads and houses, there are plants everywhere, as well as many magical creatures. Obviously, the magical creatures Owen left behind have multiplied a lot.
As for the population here, the largest number is goblins, followed by Beastkin and adventurers, so it is very dynamic. Whether it is the naturally optimistic goblins or the Beastkin who have finally found a place that does not discriminate against them, they all have a very deep affection for Green Shade City.
Even adventurers who have no fixed abode like Green Shade City very much. This is not only because of the system transformation, but mainly because everything here is like a paradise built for adventurers.
For example, the Great Tree Hollow Tavern, which is very famous throughout the Northland, the wide variety of magic potions, the custom-made equipment, and the portal that communicates with multiple Secret Realms, not to mention a certain alley and Succubus Hall, meet the needs of all adventurers from the inside out, making it a paradise recognized by all adventurers, and a place to retire and enjoy their old age.
In addition, the Magic Academy is becoming more and more complete. In addition to magic spells, potions, alchemy and other systems, subjects such as swordsman, horsemanship, and tactics have also been added. Adventurers who have settled down and have children are also willing to settle here and let their children enter the academy to study. After graduation, even if they don’t become adventurers, they can go to North City to take the civil service exam.
However, the teaching of the Magic Academy is still biased towards the arcane arts. Hundreds of people graduate every year, but not many of them really become successful. Most of them are apprentices and junior mages, similar to the adult wizards in the Hogwarts world. They have the ability to cast spells, but they are not that strong.
Among them, those who are good at research, a few went to the Underground City Research Center, and some joined the Spellcaster Corps of Green Shade City.
The main job of the Spellcaster Corps is not to fight. They mainly study magic spell improvement, potion making, magical herbs, alchemy items, magical creatures, etc. They are a diverse research group, but they have contributed a lot to the changes in Green Shade City.
Thinking about these materials, Owen came to the City Lord’s Mansion all the way.
Beast General had already led people to wait in front of the door, but compared with the fanaticism and restlessness of the past, he now seemed much calmer, more majestic and imposing.
As a small monster from the Underground City, Beast General was able to achieve his current achievements, even Owen looked at him differently. After all, managing such a large territory shows how capable he is, and he is worthy of the Liao Hua template he fused with at the beginning. Both his civil and military skills are top-notch, so Owen specially gave him the name Da Gu. From now on, he doesn’t need to call himself Beast General anymore, but a high-ranking official with a name and a surname.
After entering the City Lord’s Mansion and sitting down in the main seat, Owen hesitated for a moment and asked.
“When did they leave?” Owen was naturally asking about his mother and younger sister in this world.
“They left in a hurry when the big change just started, saying they were going back.” Da Gu naturally paid attention to his master’s mother and younger sister, so he specially took out a thick stack of files, which contained records from their arrival to departure.
Owen flipped through a few pages casually, and put it away without reading more.
In fact, his feelings for this mother and daughter were quite complicated. He didn’t want to be close, and he didn’t want to refuse. He didn’t want to see them, but he couldn’t help but pay attention. However, after thirty years, it’s good that they left.
“Now tell me about the Secret Realm.” Owen finished his coffee in one gulp and said to Da Gu.
Although Green Shade City looks peaceful, it is actually like sitting on a volcano, and the reason lies in the portal.
The portal of Green Shade City is the most frequently used. In addition to connecting to the Otherworldly Mountains, it was also opened by Owen to connect to the Secret Realm before its collapse. This led to the backflow of the Secret Realm when it collapsed, and it forced the birth of the largest Secret Realm in the entire Northland.
This Secret Realm is so huge that it contains more essence and law imprints. It is better to say that it is a special demi-plane than a Secret Realm. Its value is difficult to estimate.
But the bad thing is that there is a very special race inside, the Fel Skaven.
Skaven are very common, but these Skaven, whether in the Secret Realm or polluted when the Secret Realm collapsed, can actually use a very special energy.
This sickly green energy is all-encompassing, and it has a strong corrosive and infectious nature to both the body and the soul, so it is called Fel, which is evil energy.
According to research, the territory concluded that this Fel energy originated from a very high-level and terrifying existence, so it must be isolated in the Secret Realm, otherwise the entire territory may be destroyed.
Actually, if it was just Skaven who simply used Fel, it would not be a big problem for the territory. After all, the Skaven are too weak, and the reproductive ability of goblins is no less than that of Skaven, and they are smarter. With the support of the territory’s industry, they will definitely not suffer a loss in a fight.
The problem is that under the influence of Fel, these Skaven broke through the upper limit of evolution, quickly adapted to the attack of the Goblin Mechanical Army, and used the collected mechanical wreckage to create their own technological system, gradually becoming a major problem for the territory.
According to the research of the territory, the greater the stimulation these Fel Skaven receive, the faster their evolution speed, so the best way is to maintain a balance and reduce the speed of their evolution. Therefore, the territory maintains a Goblin Legion in the Secret Realm all year round to fight an endless war with the Fel Skaven.
This is also the reason why the goblin population in the territory has not been able to grow in the past thirty years. The casualties are too heavy.
Based on a simple estimate, millions of goblins have died in the Secret Realm over the years, which has seriously hindered the development of the territory.
Actually, the territory doesn’t want to solve this serious problem. The establishment of the Elite Guard has this idea, but they are not completely sure yet, so they have been delaying it. After all, once the Fel Skaven are stimulated to create Limit Warriors, it will really become a serious problem.
