Chapter 71

His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (14)

“After we escaped into the Underground Kingdom, we received a message from Master Locke through the God of Forging. He informed us about the prophecy of Gods. Following the joint research of the goblin engineers at that time, it became clear that the key to victory lay in the theory of nuclear technology left behind by Master Locke.” Kukuwei said.

“Theory of nuclear technology?”

“Master Locke left behind only preliminary theoretical assumptions. Using the demonic beast crystal Nucleus as the core, and converting it into energy through special devices,” Kukuwei explained, “it’s something like your divine power, or the mage’s magic power. However, these things are more universal, and with the help of these devices, ordinary people can do all of those things that a mage can do. Us goblin gave these devices a name, called Machines!“ [T/N: yeah]

Lu Heng, from modern society, naturally knows what Kukuwei was talking about, but as a person living in this world, he certainly shouldn’t understand it. So Lu Heng asked doubtfully, “Giving ordinary people such power, only Gods can do it.”

Kukuwei patted his forehead: “Oh, my friend, the theories of science and technology are too profound for you. I’ll have you see for yourselves the magic of machines!”

The green-skinned goblin disappeared again in the door leading to the workshop. When he reappeared, Kukuwei was carrying a strange little box on his back.

“Generous human friends, then give this green skin friend of yours a crystal nucleus, and after that, you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth.” Kukuwei opened his hand towards Lu Heng.

“Wait, let me check.” Lu Heng put the crystal nucleus on it. Kukuwei did not hesitate to put the nucleus into the small box.

All that could be heard was the whirring of the gears, and the strange little box opened and a propeller rose from it. Of course, only Lu Heng knew it was a propeller. Following that Kukuwei started to fly up into the air.

“Look, as long as there is this machine, anyone can step into the domain of air that giant dragons can enter. This great invention, we call it the aircraft.” Kukuwei proudly opened his hands in the air.

“This is a miracle!” Brian on one side could hardly close his mouth.

Although Lu Heng had guessed the use of the small box when he saw the propeller, he was full of admiration when he saw the scene. It’s really amazing that the goblins managed to develop this nuclear technology.

Ionas also felt that the green-skinned goblin, though not worth mentioning, made something that looked interesting. But he saw Lu Heng looking intently at the goblin in front of him, not even giving him a trace of attention. Ionas did not like the feeling of being overlooked by his treasure.

“The dragon can take you to the clouds.” Ionas whispered to Lu Heng, “This tattered little device can’t do it.”

Lu Heng hasn’t had time to say anything yet. Unexpectedly, the goblin’s hearing was so sensitive that his long ears weren’t wasted at all.

“Flying up to the clouds, that’s in our plan! But that also requires the development of devices with higher energy conversion efficiency. When the aircraft becomes larger in scale, travelling on the mainland will be much more convenient! ” As soon as it came to professional matters, Kukuwei began to talk a lot, and he even proudly began to demonstrate the versatility of the aircraft on his back.

However, the aircraft on his back did not seem to fare well.

“Oh! Damn! Someone help me stop! ”

The room echoed with Kukuwei’s screams. The aircraft seemed to have gone out of control, emitting smoke and zooming around like a headless fly with the poor little goblin.

Lu Heng was afraid that the goblin would hit his precious brain and become a fool, but as a priest, he could not stop the crazy aircraft: “Io.”

Seeing Lu Heng’s pleading eyes, Ionas was strongly hit, and raised his chin somewhat proudly: “It’s still the wings of the dragon that are more reliable.”
