Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

In the fourth area far away from the 'Dragon Star', there is a silver-white planet.

This planet is located at the edge of the fourth district. Looking from the universe, you can see the asteroid belt flickering around it. From a distance, it looks like a silver-white pearl studded with broken diamonds.

At this time, the 'Silver Bead Star' has just entered winter, and the silver-gray surface is covered by tiny dust-like ice crystals, like diamond dust, falling on the platinum necklace, which has a dreamlike beauty.

This is a meteorological phenomenon unique to 'Silver Pearl Star', and the locals call it 'Diamond Storm'.

Whenever winter comes, there will be a storm on the mainland accompanied by howling winds. The seemingly beautiful and harmless ice crystals will ride on this hurricane and attach to the creatures on the ground, like liquid nitrogen, freezing the creatures rapidly .

Therefore, on this snow-white planet, every winter, there is no trace of living things.

But on this planet, under the snow-white ground, there is the most precious "magical creature" research institute of the Magician Association in the fourth district so far.

The establishment of this research institute can be traced back to the 'old magic' era thousands of years ago.At that time, the research institute was not called a research institute, but a 'material library' that housed 'magic creatures' and provided 'medium' for the Magician Association.

Later, with the demise of the Mage Tower, the advent of the era of magic machines, and the rise of the three districts, the original "material library" gradually expanded, and was given more functions by the Mage Association.

In addition to the original detention, disintegration and preservation of 'magic creatures', a very important item is to study the attributes of 'magic creatures' to provide magicians with safer and high-quality 'mediums'.

And at this moment in the 'Institute', in the brightly lit reception room, Cecilia, wearing a pure white magic robe, is offering hot tea to the 'guests' who came from afar.

After the 'Sky Star' experimental plan was exposed, Cecilia had been expelled from the Association of Magicians on the surface, but in fact, she came to the research institute on the 'Silver Pearl Star' under the guidance of the association's senior management. Specially responsible for the research and sales of 'magic creatures'.

Whether it's the "Blood Stone Star"'s creature trafficking, or the "Sky Star"'s experiment, these special experiences soaked in the blood of "magical creatures" are enough to make Cecilia stand out from the crowd of magicians.

Even under the multiple accusations of the "Department of Magical Creature Protection" in the third district, she still calmly escaped the sanctions, and successfully obtained a not-so-low position in the research institute.

And the group of guests she is entertaining now is the first job Cecilia received after she formally entered the job.

Of course, Cecilia, who has just joined the job, does not have the authority to receive guests alone, especially when the guests coming this time are very important.

In order to show the importance it attaches to the guests, Ms. Daisy, the secretary-general of the Association of Magicians, was specially sent to communicate and connect with them.

The success or failure of this cooperation also determines whether Cecilia can gain a firm foothold in the institute.

Thinking of this, Cecilia carefully squatted down and put the teacups on the table respectively, then stepped back a few steps and stood quietly behind Daisy.

Daisy sat on the black leather sofa in the reception room, her long legs crossed, her posture relaxed.

She was also wearing a white magic robe, which was one of the Institute's regulations. Her long black curly hair was loosely scattered behind her back, and with exquisite makeup, she was a very attractive female magician.

"This is a fruit tea that is a specialty of the four districts. Please try it." Daisy curled her lips at the 'guest', pulled the hair around her ears, and took a sip from the teacup.

The 'guest' sitting opposite put his hands on his knees steadily, maintained a straight sitting posture, took a sip of the teacup with a smile on his face, and praised in a slightly mechanical tone: "Thank you for your hospitality, the tea is delicious .”

The person who came was No. 311 from the machine family in the third district.

At this time, he was not wearing the uniform of the 'Supervision Department', but a more casual dark gray turtleneck sweater with a slightly thick lapel jacket, which not only covered the interface on the back of 311's neck, but also It shows the perception of temperature. At first glance, it is completely unimaginable that the person in front of him is actually a mechanical clan who is always in uniform.

It may be because of 311’s way of complimenting, it’s too fake, even the experienced Daisy’s expression inevitably froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her mentality, and said politely: “It’s fine if you like it, if you don’t dislike it , I will ask Cecilia to pack some and bring you back later, shall I?"

"Then respect is worse than obedience." No. 311 sat up straight, kept a perfect smile, and nodded towards Daisy.This is the simulation state of the social etiquette of the magician by the machine race.

It's just that 311's contact with the magician race is still not enough, so it looks a little blunt. If it is a race with enough information, such as: winged race, orc race, etc., the mechanical race characteristics of 311 will be completely covered Get up, can't see the slightest flaw.

Seeing that the greetings were over, 311 went straight to the point and said, "You must be aware of the reason why we came this time, so I'll just ask directly. How far has the research progressed?"

Daisy, who has already dealt with the mechanical race several times, heard the words and no longer twisted around, and reported directly: "Since the last communication, the experimental data has been in place, and the research has successfully entered the second experimental state. But to be honest, The current samples are still too small, and it is still somewhat difficult to restart this experiment."

The experiment Daisy mentioned here refers to the "Star Restart" project that was launched a few days ago by the secret cooperation of some high-level officials from the Machinists in the three districts and the Magicians Association.

This plan was originally proposed by the Association of Wizards hundreds of years ago.

A handful of magicians at the time came up with a theory that 'magic creatures' had the power of 'mediums' because of a certain magical element contained within them.

And this kind of element is ubiquitous in the universe. As long as creatures are exposed to these elements for a long time, any creature may become a 'magic creature', and then become a usable 'medium'.

After this theory was published, it quickly caused huge waves in the magic world. Some magicians scoffed at it, while some believed that this theory would become the future of magicians.

After that, when this theory gradually matured, the Association of Magicians officially launched the "Star" project, trying to use the blood of "magic creatures" to create an "artificial medium".

But it is a pity that the "Star" project ended in failure, and the Association of Magicians temporarily sealed this experiment.Until a few days ago, the three districts took the initiative to contact the association about the machine race, hoping to restart the experiment.

"Although the experiments in the past have failed, they are still rewarding. If relying solely on magic cannot achieve the desired goal, then we can combine magic with technology to see if we can get better results." The representative of the machine clan , so said to the association.

For the Association of Magicians, who was full of regrets about the 'Tianxing' experiment, but suffered from insufficient funds and was stuck in a bottleneck.The proposal of the Machina clan was exactly what they wanted.

After confirming that the entire cost of the experiment here will be funded by the machine clan, the association immediately restarted the "Star" project, and sent Cecilia, who was originally in charge of the plan, to the research institute to show the association's support for this cooperation attention.

The reason why the Magician Association agreed to cooperate with the Machine Race so easily, apart from the fact that the Machine Race is rich and powerful, is largely because this is not the first time they have cooperated.

In the process of cooperation, the two parties have established enough trust, and this kind of relationship built purely by interests is the strongest.

A long time ago, before 311 was born, the machine clan in the third district had already carried out many similar project experiments in private with the Magicians Association.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Unlike other 'magic creatures', the machine race and magicians don't have much hatred, and the existence of magicians does not pose much threat to the machine race.

The reason for the cooperation between the two parties stems from the in-depth research of the "core" by the machine family.

For the Mechs, their race has been mired in endless quagmire since the first 'Core' appeared. The very existence of the 'Core' is a complete curse.

No race can tolerate an existence that can completely dominate itself, not even the most sane machine race.

Also because of this, the mechanical race started the research plan on the 'core', wanting to get rid of this racial defect through science.But no matter whether it is replacing the parts in the heart or the brain, or trying to delete the memory of meeting the "core", or even forcing other commands to be implanted, the experiments have all failed.

After trying various methods, the Machinists had to admit that they had reached a dead end on the road of researching how to get rid of the 'core'.

At this time, a certain machine clan suddenly put forward an idea: "Since the power of science and technology is not working, why not try magic?"

The proposal of this plan was quickly approved by the upper level of the machine family.

Most of them have seen the power of magic. Given that the research has come to a standstill, the help of strange forces seems to be the only feasible way out.

However, the machine race is a race that cannot use magic at all. In this case, it is only natural for them to find the Magicians Association, which knows magic best.

It is worth mentioning that after so many years, the research on the 'core' in the Institute of Magic has also made some progress.

Although the mechanical family is still unable to resist, the complete dominance of the 'core'.

But after repeated research, they are now able to rely on search magic. At the beginning of the birth of the machine race, they searched for the existence of the corresponding 'core' in several different planes, and then eliminated the other party in advance.

Of course, this kind of search magic requires a huge number of 'mediums', so not every machine race can enjoy this special treatment.

In order to pay for the use of the 'medium', the machine clan will not only pay a huge amount of research funds, but also reuse the corpses of the 'core' and provide them to the research institute.

On the one hand, the 'core' of most of the machine races are 'magic creatures', which can make up for the lack of 'medium' in the research institute. On the other hand, from the perspective of the 'core', the secrets of the machine race can also be researched.

Why did you choose him as the 'core', and what is the difference between him and other creatures?After the machine race kills these creatures, it will conduct a thorough investigation and squeeze out the last drop of its use value.

And once they become the 'core' creatures that are not killed by the machine clan for various reasons, they will not show mercy to the machine clan's subordinates, and will make full use of this advantage to dominate the machine clan until the opponent dies.

This is the twisted relationship between the machine race, the magician and the 'core'.

The author has something to say:

This is the real reason why the machine clan supports the 'Tianxing' experiment and is unwilling to start a war.Because no matter which side wins, they are not good, and it is best for them to maintain the status quo.
