Beastmen Camp Appears

"Looking at the structure of the Magic Rune, this Energy Core should have been developed around a hundred years after the Cataclysm."

"It's mainly used for Constructs belonging to legendary powerhouses."

"It's used to power Constructs for legendary-tier powerhouses to fight in."

"But unfortunately, some of its Magic Runes are damaged."

"Now, this Energy Core can't power very powerful Constructs."

"However, if it's used to power Constructs developed before the Glory Era, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Lilith pinched the black stone.

She said with sparkling eyes.

As for what she said, it was all Greek to Fang Yuan.

With his limited knowledge, Constructs were just like drones or robots.

But listening to her, they seemed somewhat similar to mechs.

Just as Fang Yuan was about to ask.

Lilith turned her head and said, "Lord, if you can get your hands on a Construct built during the Glory Era."

"As long as the damage isn't too severe, you can have a powerful guardian for your territory."

"It can patrol, stand guard, and actively pursue invading enemies."

"If you can find a Construct built by Human Mage Towers back then, it's even engraved with numerous spells. Once activated, its power might not be inferior to a high-tier Purple Mage Hero."

Fang Yuan's eyes widened when he heard Lilith's words.

He gulped.

"A Construct equivalent to a high-tier Purple Mage Hero!"

"Is it really that strong?"

Lilith nodded with certainty.

"Constructs built during the Glory Era were often very bulky, but also sturdy."

"If you can find one, Lord, its actual combat power might even surpass that of a high-tier Purple Mage Hero."

Hearing Lilith's second confirmation.

Fang Yuan eagerly asked, "Then where should I look for one?"

Lilith shrugged.

"That depends on you, Lord."

"The War Mist limits my mobility."

"Other than activating this Energy Core, I can't help with anything else."

Fang Yuan wasn't discouraged upon hearing this.

"The Spatial Trading Market has all sorts of strange items; perhaps I can find something there."

Fang Yuan quickly opened the Spatial Trading Market and chose to search for Constructs.

A moment later.

Fang Yuan exited the market.

It wasn't that there were none, but they were too expensive.

The most basic Construct was priced in the tens of millions of gold coins.

And that was for a damaged one.

The prices for slightly more complete Constructs were astronomically high.

They all required exchange for Orange Items.

The reason for this isn't complicated.

These Constructs were essentially collections of large amounts of rare alloys.

Even dismantling a Construct and separating the metals held immense value.

And for Human Lords, this was indeed their only practical use.

This was also why their value was so high.

Seeing Fang Yuan's somewhat dejected expression, Lilith beside him.

Said with a giggle, "Can't afford it?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"It makes sense. Back then, a Legendary-level expert equipped with a Construct could even go toe-to-toe with a Demigod expert."

"With a custom-built Construct, a Demigod expert could even go into a Deity's Divine Realm and kill people."

"The value of a single Construct is equivalent to a very large Duchy."

"Even the first-generation Constructs built during the Glory Era were astronomically expensive."

"However, Lord Fang Yuan could settle for less and buy a Construct built by Goblins."

"Something they called a Goblin Mech, a piece of scrap metal."

"This thing is purely mechanically built, but it can still be used with a little modification."

"Although it can't use magic or patrol and guard automatically."

"But Lord Fang Yuan can use it by manually piloting it."

Hearing Lilith's reminder.

Fang Yuan asked in surprise.

"There's such a thing?"

Lilith nodded. "Of course, but it was invented by a lower race like Goblins, so it basically has no combat power."

"Back then, they supposedly even built a God-Slaying Goblin Mech."

"As a result, they didn't slay any gods. The Mana Beast went out of control, and that broken mech developed its own consciousness and slaughtered the Goblins first."

"A technological Goblin civilization that they had painstakingly built was slaughtered by a runaway Mana Beast."

"The higher races laughed at them for thousands of years back then."

Hearing this.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but be speechless.

"Playing with technology in a world of magic is indeed asking for trouble."

He asked curiously.

"So, what happened to that God-Slaying Goblin Mech later?"

Lilith shrugged.

"It rampaged for a while and then got dismantled."

"I forgot, it's been too long."

"But since then, no race has built such a thing."

"However, the Goblins' ordinary mechs were passed down and used by various Duchies for logging."

"There should be quite a few of these Goblin Mechs."

"The price won't be too high, Lord Fang Yuan can buy one."

"I'll connect an Energy Core to it, so it can be piloted automatically and manually."

"Automatic piloting for chopping wood."

"Manual piloting for combat mode."

"What do you think, Lord Fang Yuan!"

Fang Yuan thought it was a good idea.

He opened the Spatial Trading Market and soon spent ten thousand gold coins to buy a Goblin Mech.

As Lilith had said, this thing was indeed a pile of scrap steel.

It needed Source Crystals to drive, and after driving, it could only be used for chopping wood.

And it had to be manually piloted.

Its combat power was two large saws, but they were too clumsy, and the saws couldn't hit anyone.

So its combat power was almost zero.

Almost no one on the market bought it.

He was probably the only unlucky soul who spent ten thousand gold coins on such a piece of junk.

When Fang Yuan took out the Goblin Mech.

Lilith touched her chin and said.

"It looks very new."

"Huh, there's even butter on it!"

"It's probably a new item dug out from a Goblin warehouse."

Fang Yuan thought to himself, "Of course, it cost me ten thousand gold coins."

At this moment, Lilith tinkered with it for a while and directly tore off the Goblin Mech's engine cover with her bare hands.

A short while later, she emerged again.

"Alright!"

"My Lord, I've changed the magic crystal engine's transmission to use the construct core energy transmission."

"This fellow now has two modes: one is automatic logging mode."

"Which is for collecting wood."

"The other is combat mode, which requires my Lord to sit inside."

"It fights using these two large saws."

"At the same time, it can mobilize the energy core to hurl the large saws out, serving as a ranged attack."

After Fang Yuan listened patiently.

He couldn't wait to enter the cockpit.

"This feels alright."

"The field of vision is wide, it's indeed like a mech."

"But its combat power probably isn't that great."

"It's actually operated by a manual stick."

"No matter how fast your hand speed is, there's a limit."

"Eh, the automatic construct has turned into a mechanical goblin mech."

"Never mind~"

"Don't even think about combat."

"Let's switch it back to automatic logging mode."

Fang Yuan jumped out of the mech, shaking his head slightly.

Clearly, he wasn't satisfied.

Lilith said, "My Lord, there's no need to rush."

"This energy core is very advanced and will hardly be consumed. We can still use it when we find advanced constructs later."

Fang Yuan said, "That's all we can do then."

As he spoke, he patted the large fellow.

"Go chop wood."

The goblin mech exhaled a puff of steam.

"Received!"

"Logging command activated."

Not long after the goblin mech left.

Suddenly.

Fang Yuan abruptly received a message.

"Ding, a Hunter has been killed. You have discovered a Beastmen camp."
