Apart from Anrik, there was also a goblin engineer named Mossock among the sailors recruited this time.
Mossock was born into a noble goblin family. His father worked for the Razdenk Engineering Company and was a senior manager.
Mossock's parents were both earth goblins. Mossock was born as an earth goblin. Not long after he was born, he was tested to have an excellent talent for mental strength. His parents were overjoyed and immediately invested a lot of resources in him, hoping to nurture him into a great engineer.
Mossock did not disappoint his parents. He showed amazing talent when he was young.
Moorcock's talent was not only in engineering, but also in combat.
After he became an adult, Mossock quickly became an intermediate engineer. He also obtained the profession level of an advanced warrior.
The smooth journey of growing up made Mossock develop a strong, stubborn, and selfish personality. The greedy nature of the goblins was especially obvious in him.
After he became an adult, Mossock joined the research and development department of the Razdenk Engineering Company as an engineer.
The ambitious Mossock made the most important magical technology for the goblins his research direction.
In the long research career, Mossock grew to become a level-10 engineer. He even used his spare time to raise his warrior level to the master level.
Hard work paid off. The stubborn Mossock persisted for more than ten years in the face of doubts and finally made great progress in the field of magical energy. He solved the problem of the weakening effect of the Goblin Magic Array after it was enlarged, making it possible to enlarge the Goblin Magic Array.
The so-called Goblin Magic Array was the simplified version of the magic array that Feng Chou had seen on the Goblin Magic Mecha before.
The goblins had always wanted to enlarge this simplified version of the magic array and use it on ships to create their own hybrid magic-powered ships.
However, when the simplified version of the magic array was enlarged, there would be a problem that the effect of the magic array would decrease as the magic array was enlarged.
In other words, when the Gnomes enlarged the array, the effect of the array would not increase in proportion to the size of the array. Instead, the increase would gradually decrease. In fact, when the array was enlarged to a certain extent, as the array continued to be enlarged, not only would the effect of the array not increase, it would even decrease.
In fact, human alchemists had also encountered this problem and had already solved it.
However, the solutions of human alchemists involved a large amount of high-level magic knowledge and abilities. The goblins, who lacked high-level engineers, could not learn the solutions of humans.
Not only did Moorsock solve the problem of the Goblin Magic Array's size, but he also reduced the production cost of the Goblin Magic Array. This partially solved the problem of the Goblin Magic Array's production cost.
After knowing Moorock's results, the directors of Razdenk Engineering Company hoped that Moorock would give the technology to the company after receiving a bonus. After all, this technology was completed by Moorock with the support of the engineering company.
But the greedy Mossock wanted more. He demanded that Razdenk must give him five percent of the company's shares in exchange for his technology.
Moorock's greed angered the directors of Razdenk, and they were determined to snatch Moorock's technology.
After a struggle, Moorock lost his technology, but he was lucky to escape from the Goblin Kingdom.
Under the arrest of the Razdenk Company, Moorock could not even establish himself in the entire Southern Continent. He could only follow the merchant ships to the Northern Continent. After a few years of wandering, he arrived at the Eastern Islands and finally established himself in the most chaotic southern part of the islands.
Among the pirates of Tortuga Port, Moorock belonged to the category that did not kill. In fact, on the routes of the Southern Continent, most of the goblin pirates did not kill. These greedy and smart creatures basically treated the merchant ships as a flock of sheep. To them, as hunters, it was unreasonable to casually kill their prey. Therefore, if one encountered a goblin pirate, financial losses were certain. However, as long as one did not seek death, one's life was not an extravagant hope.
Feng Chou recruited Moorock by signing a devil's contract. In the contract, Feng Chou promised to provide Moorock with a laboratory, experimental funds, and a generous salary. Feng Chou also promised that Moorock would own 50% of the shares of any technology developed in Feng Chou's laboratory.
What Moorock had to pay was that before Feng Chou's Wizard Tower was built, he had to be the captain and vice-captain of the fleet for a few years.
Other than the two talents, Anrik and Moorock, the other captains that Feng Chou recruited this time were not as good as the old captain and Captain Haddock. Among them, there were two extremely vicious fellows who had been brainwashed by Qiankun Pagoda.
After the fleet arrived at Green Dragon Island, Feng Chou took out a portion of the high-grade professionals from the fleet and arranged for them to be temporary instructors in the territory's school.
Feng Chou also fulfilled his promise to the recruited rogue mages and filled a large amount of magical information into the school's magic library. He also allowed the rogue mages to use the territory's contribution points to exchange for magical information.
The contribution points were recorded by the scouting birds, so there was no mistake at all.
This series of actions made the rogue mages, who had begun to have their minds wavering, calm down immediately.
Feng Chou also gave the ordinary crew a break in shifts, and asked Owen to arrange for the school's students to board the merchant ship in shifts as apprentices. The sailors who did not have a break would be the instructors, teaching these students how to drive the magic-powered steam-powered hybrid ship.
… …
After everything was arranged, Feng Chou once again went into the secret chamber in the depths of the dragon's lair.
According to the master level arcane data, the bloodline ceremony was no longer exclusive to necromancers. Master alchemists could also host this ceremony, but the process of the ceremony was different from the necromancy ceremony.
The master level golden dragon bloodline ceremony could create a legendary golden dragon descendant, and its complexity was naturally not something that the intermediate and advanced dragon bloodline ceremony could compare to.
To hold this ceremony, Feng Chou had to carry out several complicated preparations.
Just to inscribe the more than ten complex magic arrays needed for the ceremony, Feng Chou had to work day and night for a month with the help of Qiankun Pagoda.
Fortunately, Feng Chou had already prepared the magic materials needed for the ceremony, and only the elderly golden dragon's blood essence was left.
Feng Chou spent two whole months to prepare for the ceremony.
After repeated checks by Qiankun Pagoda to confirm that the ceremony preparations were correct, Feng Chou spent three hundred merit points to exchange for an elderly golden dragon's blood essence.
He also exchanged more than a hundred secondary soul gems from the Mirror of Reincarnation.
With the help of Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou used the elderly golden dragon's blood essence to refine more than ten kinds of alchemy materials.
After all the preparations were done, Feng Chou did not hesitate to start the ceremony.
Anyway, for Feng Chou, with the help of Qiankun Pagoda's possession, no matter what state he was in, it would not affect the results of the ceremony.
