Chapter 292: Chapter 223: A Major Crisis Within the Divine Realm! The Solution?
Looking at the ecstatic Goblin Clan below, Zhang Yi knew the time was right.
So, Zhang Yi continued to speak in the majestic voice of a Divine Being:
"Norton, Hobali, step forward!"
Although they didn’t know what the God of Nature wanted, upon hearing their God’s command, Goblin Great Sage Norton and Hobali quickly stepped forward.
"From this day forward, Norton, you will be responsible for selecting goblins with a talent for research and conducting that work."
"The Basic Magical Workshops and research centers in the [Goblin Mage Technology City] are all yours to use!"
"Furthermore, within my Divine Realm, there are also the Elf Clan and the Dwarf Clan.
When the time comes, I will have them cooperate with you.
Whether it’s the Magic Scriptures concerning magic in the Divine Realm, or the forging techniques of the Dwarf Clan, you may request access to them all!"
"In the short term, you have only one objective: to further upgrade the Magical Cannon already developed in the Divine Realm,
and to develop lighter, more portable Magic Firearms!"
"Well? Can you do it?!"
Hearing the question from the Great God of Nature,
Goblin Great Sage Norton, who was just over a meter tall, trembled with excitement!
He recalled his past.
The sole highlight of his past life was his talent for scientific research.
Combining magic and technology, following the path of the ancient goblin sages, was the proudest achievement of his life!
Unfortunately, the very thing he took pride in could not save his entire clan.
But now,
not only had he received the support of a Divine Being, allowing him to continue following the path of the goblin sages,
but the entire Goblin Clan had also accepted the protection of the God of Nature, giving the remaining members of their clan hope for survival.
The combination of two joyous events made him even happier!
And having received such immense favor and recognition from the God of Nature,
the complex emotions that had arisen upon hearing the God of Nature’s Oracle mention the Elf Clan and Dwarf Clan vanished completely.
After a flurry of chaotic thoughts,
only a single thought remained in Goblin Great Sage Norton’s mind:
’The Elf Clan and Dwarf Clan in My God’s Divine Realm are not in conflict with my Goblin Clan.
The hatred should not be carried forward!’
’From now on, My God is the sun in my heart. Whatever My God asks of me, I will accomplish with all my might!’
Goblin Great Sage Norton trembled with excitement, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind,
but in the end, all he said was this:
"I will follow the Oracle!"
"I will not fail My God’s expectations! I will fulfill My God’s charge and spread the civilization of Magical Technology to every corner of the Divine Realm!"
Seeing Goblin Great Sage Norton’s reaction, the Divine Illusion in the sky nodded slightly.
"Very good. Full of fighting spirit!"
Then, the illusion of the God of Nature turned to the other member of the Clan who had stepped forward, Hobali, and said:
"Of all the members of the Goblin Clan,
you alone,
from the moment I first saw you, I knew you had the greatest talent for managing an entire city!"
"Therefore, I have decided to entrust all the daily affairs of the entire [Goblin Mage Technology City] to you!"
Hearing the God of Nature’s words,
even though the God of Nature had not yet finished speaking,
Hobali’s body was already trembling.
However,
it was not from fear or dread,
but from excitement!
Ever since the Divine Illusion of the God of Nature had appeared and called for him and Goblin Great Sage Norton to step forward,
he had harbored a suspicion.
’Is our great God about to grant us a momentous mission?’
After the Goblin Great Sage was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of research by the Great God of Nature,
the premonition in Hobali’s heart grew stronger and stronger.
And now, that strong premonition had actually come true!
At their very first meeting,
My God was entrusting the entire [Goblin Mage Technology City] into his hands.
What incredible trust and honor this was!
In Hobali’s memory,
although he had once been a city lord himself, managing the daily affairs of an entire Goblin City,
back then,
the Goblin Clan was at its lowest point.
He had managed an isolated city, starved of resources and filled with panic.
They had to struggle for basic survival every single day.
His talents had no place to shine; he could only watch his clansmen suffer through their days!
But now, the Great God of Nature had given them a future city of infinite possibilities!
Here, there was ample food, plentiful water, and their familiar companions.
More importantly, there was the full support of a Divine Being.
This was the stage he had always dreamed of, a place where he could truly show his skills!
How could the vast difference between then and now, coupled with the deep trust from a Divine Being, not make him tremble with excitement!
Hobali suddenly raised his head, his eyes glinting with unwavering determination and loyalty, and spoke with the most devout words of his entire life:
"Great My God, I, Hobali, swear an oath!"
"I will be loyal to My God! In the days to come, I will devote all my energy and effort to managing this entire city!"
"I will make it the most prosperous and wealthiest city in the Divine Realm!"
"If I break this oath, My God may dispose of me as you see fit!"
Hobali’s voice was somewhat hoarse from excitement,
but the firm conviction in his words was felt by the other goblins, as well as by the Divine Being in the sky.
In a world with Divine Beings, when one swore an oath to such a being,
the effect of that oath surpassed even the law!
After all, one might escape the law, but an oath made to a Divine Spirit could never be broken!
