Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

On the 'Silver Pearl Star', the cold winter wind is still howling, and the underground reception room covered with a large constant temperature magic is warm, and the aroma of fruit tea lingers in the room for a long time.

At this moment, the conversation between 311 and Daisy is still going on.

On the surface, Dai was explaining the progress of the 'Tianxing' experiment to 311, but in fact, she was also implying to 311 that the mechanical race should provide the research lab with more experimental samples and resources.

The original "Sky Star" project was carried out on an edge star in the tenth district. The samples not only directly used the intelligent creatures of the entire planet, but also established a considerable number of laboratories to study and detain animals of various races. 'Magical Creatures'.

At that time, the "Magical Creature Protection Department" in the third district had just been established, and the supervision department was also under the control of the machine clan, turning a blind eye to the survival of an inconspicuous planet in the tenth district, and not many people care.

But now, the self-protection ability of the 'magic creatures' has been gradually improved, and the third district has been watching the actions of the fourth district, ready to catch the Mage Association's handle at any time.

So after the incidents of 'Sky Star' and 'Blood Stone Star', the raw material supply chain of the Magician Research Institute is not as complete as it was a few years ago, and many 'magic creatures' of rare races can no longer be caught.

Under such conditions of lack of experimental materials, if one wants to continue to complete the experiment, it is natural to re-develop new supply channels for 'magic creatures'.

So the Association of Magicians naturally turned their minds to the machine race.

Years of cooperation have made the relationship between the research institute and the machine clan closer, and at the same time, it has also increased the appetite of the Magicians Association.

They have long been dissatisfied with the original cooperation model dominated by the machine clan, and want the machine clan to provide them with more 'magic creatures' and 'medium' minerals to maintain the high cost of the research institute.

On the other hand, 311 understood the meaning of the Association of Magicians from Daisy's few words through the precise analysis of the brain system, but had no intention of agreeing.

After all, the "Tianxing" project is different from the project that studies the "core" of the machine family. Their sense of urgency for the success of the experiment is not so strong.

If you want to talk about urgency, then the magicians who have always relied on 'magic creatures' are the race that is most anxious to develop 'artificial magic medium'.

311 has seen through this for a long time. If this experiment is successful, not only their mechanical clan will be able to benefit, but those magicians who can use the 'artificial medium' will be the real winners.

Thinking about this, 311 opened his mouth, threatening both truth and falsehood: "Since the progress of the 'Tianxing' experiment is not satisfactory, why not let it go for now. Anyway, we are there in the third district, and it will not be true for a while. You can rest assured that we will start a full-scale war."

"You are joking, the recent actions in the third district have become more frequent, and the number of 'magic creatures' that can be obtained through smuggling is decreasing day by day, so it is not just the experiment of 'Sky Star' that is affected." Daisy said with a smile. Obviously using the 'core' project as a bargaining chip.

When 311 heard this, the interface on the back of his neck became slightly warm, which was a sign of his emotional ups and downs.

The 'core' experiment has always been the weakness of the mechanical family, not one of them.From 311's point of view, the Magician Research Institute, which has mastered the 'core' secrets of the machine race, basically holds the lifeline of the machine race.

At that time, the final reason why the Machina clan cooperated with the Magician Association of District 311 has no way to be verified by the current [-], but if it is because of this, it is undoubtedly not a wise choice to be led by the nose by the research institute.

But in the face of this situation, 311 is not unprepared.

In recent years, with the rise of technology in the three districts, the magic manufacturing industry in the four districts has been continuously suppressed, countless mage towers have closed down due to poor management, and the association of magicians has also fallen into a serious debt crisis.

Coupled with the over-exploitation of magic minerals and the indiscriminate killing of 'magic creatures' in the four districts over the years, the resources and resources tend to be exhausted.

In the old magic era, mages could also accumulate capital by plundering resources and 'magic creatures' in other areas, but now that the third area is staring at them, the resource star of the fourth area has not been expanded for a long time.

This also caused the dilemma of insufficient funding for the Magician Research Institute.

To put it bluntly, nearly [-]% of the research funds of the Institute are provided by the Machine Clan. If the Machine Clan stops supplying it, within three months, the Institute will close down due to a financial deficit.

Therefore, as the "government father", the machine clan has always maintained a delicate balance with the research institute, and neither side can do anything to the other.

However, the eager attitude of the lady Daisy in front of her obviously wanted to break the tacit balance between the two sides.Is it because of the recent pressing of the three districts? 311 thought, in short, what is certain, there must have been some changes that the machine clan didn't know about recently.

311's thinking seems complicated, but in fact, in the eyes of Daisy and Cecilia, the machine race in front of them is just a teacup, so they said: "I heard that your institute, except In addition to the projects we cooperate with, other research also needs to use the 'magic medium'? I don't know if it is enough?"

This is 311's cryptic warning to Daisy that the funding for the research institute is provided by the machine race, don't forget who is the one who pays them.

Daisy also understood these words, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Unlike other organizations, the Association of Magicians is a very loose organization composed of great magicians.It seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact, with the reduction of great magicians in the past few years, the control over all walks of life has long since declined.

Insufficient funds of the association, coupled with serious corruption within the organization, some magicians still have the mentality of making a fortune before the outbreak of the war, and then find a remote plane to hide.

As a result, the Association of Magicians has recently deducted more and more funds from the research laboratory.

This time, Daisy just saw that the new leader of the machine clan seemed to be inexperienced, so she wanted to take the opportunity to try it out and try to get more funding for the research institute.

I didn't expect that the number 311 in front of me seemed to be very blunt even in social mimicry, but when it came to fundamental interests, it turned out to be impeccable.

After realizing that the machine race on the opposite side is not easy to mess with, Daisy also immediately changed her attitude, and said with a gentle smile: "Recently, the funding for the laboratory is indeed insufficient, but don't worry, we will definitely focus on the 'core' project. There will be no delay in research."

She personally poured tea into 311's cup again, with a sincere tone: "Actually, it's not that we don't want to start researching earlier, but you also know that there have been some accidents on the 'Blood Stone Planet' recently, and the supply of 'magic creatures' of some races has been reduced." It’s broken, and it’s temporarily out of stock. We have limited resources, so we can’t tear down the east to make up for the west, right? To be honest, we are helpless.”

Daisy puts the facts and makes sense, implying that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse.Regardless of other things, since the number of projects has increased, the funding should also be increased, right?

311 looked at it coldly, although he knew that nine out of ten of Daisy's words were false, and that most of the research institute's money might be swallowed up by the Association of Magicians, but he wanted to take advantage of the machine race.

But after all, the experiment waits for no one, and he doesn't intend to give up eating because of choking, so naturally he still has to give it a push.He simply promised that Daisy would put pressure on the association and allocate more funds to the research institute.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Daisy also knew that she would accept it as soon as it was good, and suggested with a smile that Cecilia should take 311 to visit the interior of the laboratory.Take a look at their latest research results, and finally be able to get a wave of sponsorship for other research projects.

311 did not refuse after hearing this, and simply followed Cecilia out of the reception room.

After all, the Magic Research Institute is in the fourth district. When 311 came, in order not to attract attention, he only brought four clansmen as guards.Therefore, it is not unremarkable for everyone to walk inside the vast research institute.

The institute is divided into nine floors.

The three floors closest to the ground are the living areas of researchers, including dormitories, canteens and public activity areas.Because of the high cost of launching space magic, the daily food of the magicians is transported and stored regularly.

The lowest floor is the core area. Because the entire research room is underground, it can only rely on a large magic circle to create air and adjust the temperature inside.

So this place is also known as the heart of the research institute. Once attacked and the magic circle is destroyed, the entire research institute will be in danger. Only magicians of Daisy's level can enter.

The middle layer is the management area, where the reception room is located.

After the management area, there is the experimental area. Almost all the experimental items are distributed in this area, and the 'magic creatures' are also held in this area, which is convenient for use.

311 and Cecilia walked side by side in the corridor of the experimental area, scanning everything in front of them without any trace.

Although the magic research institute is called 'research institute', it is completely different from the scientific research institutes in the three districts.If you insist, it feels more like some kind of underground fortress.

In order to resist attacks, the entire research institute is engraved with a large number of magic circles. In order to ensure the effect of the magic circle, a large number of corpses of "magic creatures" are added to the walls and floors.

The scales of dragons, the bones of orcs, and the exquisite formation drawn by blood are being stepped on by everyone at this time. Although there is a purification magic formation, the air still seems to be full of decay, staleness and blood.

Even 311, who is a machine family, felt a little uncomfortable.

Because of the long history, many of the facilities inside are products of the magic machine era. The machine clan also proposed to help them replace with more advanced three-zone technology equipment, but was seriously rejected.

Not to mention that all the equipment in the third area does not use magic as energy, and magicians cannot operate it at all, and can only rely on the supporting system. However, in terms of safety, it is impossible for magicians to use the equipment in the third area with confidence.

So the research institute has always maintained this half-baked appearance, like a distorted product of the combination of mage tower and industrialization, not only has no aesthetic feeling at all, but also has many inconveniences.

But the environment belongs to the environment. In terms of magic research, this place is undoubtedly the top place in the entire four districts.Most of the researchers inside are lunatics who are immersed in research.

Especially digital magicians who specialize in the research of 'artificial magical creatures'.

"Here we are, here is the newly established 'Tianxing' Project Research Office." Cecilia led 311 and others to stand in front of a gate at the end of the corridor.

311 looked up and saw that the pure white door was made of unknown material, with a luster like white jade, like expensive porcelain, blocking all prying eyes.

As if aware of 311's gaze, Cecilia smiled and introduced: "This is made from the bones of 'magical creatures'. It can absorb all magic and technological attacks. It is the latest magic material researched."

After she finished speaking, she took out the coat of arms she carried with her, activated the magic circle on the door, and the door slowly opened, revealing the whole view of the laboratory inside...
