50 Days of Scavenging
"Run!!"
"It's a dragon! A living dragon!!"
"Gather! Everyone!! Come here now! Quickly—!"
The massive explosion not only attracted the attention of the small robot, but all the members of the Black Star Adventure Team also saw the creature being pushed out of the ground.
When that antenna (?) was revealed, everyone was terrified and ran away without looking back!
Sapir screamed at the top of his lungs, clutching the life-saving scroll tightly in his hand.
This is a supreme dragon that was suspected to have gone extinct a thousand years ago! No matter how precious this scroll is, it's not as important as everyone's lives!!!
This was the first time the little robot had ever seen the Black Star Adventurers so flustered.
Along the way, even when they encountered dozens of wolf-rhinoceroses living in groups, they cooperated in an orderly manner.
Is the dragon the name of that enormous creature from underground?
I don't know what it looks like.
However, the little robot will never have the chance to see the dragon in its entirety.
Faced with a life-threatening crisis, the people of Black Star unleashed their full escape speed, quickly gathering around Sapir. As the last person stepped into the appropriate area, Sapir ripped open the spatial scroll.
In an instant, everyone, including the little robot, vanished from their spot.
Only the demonic dragon that had awakened beneath the ruins was slowly burrowing towards the surface.
.
The news of the dragon's reappearance shook the entire magical continent.
As the first discoverer, Sapir and his small Black Star Adventure Team were so busy after that that they couldn't even spare the time to complete the unfinished task of collecting snake gallbladders.
More and more adventurers and mages are flocking to this area throughout the entire county of Joel.
Whether it's wanting to see the real dragon, wanting to defeat the dragon to obtain rare materials, or simply not wanting the dragon to appear and harm the continent, regardless of their motives, the county of Joel is becoming increasingly crowded.
The shop owners in County Joel are experiencing a bittersweet situation.
The joy is self-evident, as more people mean better business. The pain comes from their fear of the dragon.
That's a demonic dragon!
Even before that great war a thousand years ago, they were already at the pinnacle of the continent's fighting power. Legend has it that the dragon was extremely violent. Even now, with so many adventurers and mages coming to Joel County, they might not be able to deal with that dragon.
Will County Joel be affected?!
Should these civilians living in County Joel flee beforehand?
During this period, several nobles in the city have moved their entire families. I heard that even the people from Earl Noah's manor are packing up their things. If the Earl hadn't not returned yet, they probably would have left long ago.
For nobles, moving was not a problem, but for commoners who had lived here their whole lives, leaving meant losing everything, and if they were unlucky, they might become slaves.
What if... what if everything is alright in County Joel?
Those who hadn't left yet were filled with hesitation and conflict.
However, this issue has nothing to do with the little robot.
He had no intention of leaving.
After returning from the Queensferry Mountains, the little robot has stayed in the store.
Half an hour after the little robot appeared in the shop, Baron Oris personally delivered a box of blank scrolls.
His punctuality suggests he had someone waiting near the shop.
However, Baron Oris originally intended to take the opportunity of personally delivering the scroll to befriend the little robot, who was suspected to be a mysterious and powerful being, and to establish a relationship with him.
Who would have thought that a demonic dragon would suddenly emerge from the mountains!
Oris, who valued his life, didn't have time to chat with the little robot. After delivering the goods, he quickly returned to pack his things and leave Joel County to hide for a while.
Having acquired so many blank scrolls, the little robot's research ambitions soared, and it became completely engrossed in it on the spot.
He also bought books from the bookstore, such as "Making Magic Scrolls", "Complete Guide to Basic Magic Potions", and "Basic Magic Operation", and read them carefully.
When Sapir and his group visited the junkyard, the little robot had already learned to make magic scrolls and put the magic attacks it had previously picked up back into these scrolls.
If the magicians of this world were to see this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
It's important to understand that when they create magic scrolls, they infuse magic power into the magic patterns while drawing them. Different magic patterns and magic power fluctuations combine to form different magical attacks, rather than casting a magical attack first and then sealing it into the scroll.
If it were possible to do this, in future battles, one could simply use a bunch of blank scrolls as shields, block all of the enemy's magical attacks, and not only avoid getting hurt, but also use the enemy's attacks against them.
That's impossible!
Even the most skilled magic scroll maker on the continent cannot control a magic attack that has already been created, let alone someone else's magic attack!
Only a small robot that uses a scientific "energy" mindset to deal with magic, and which happens to store various ways of utilizing energy, can do this.
However, the little robot had no idea what amazing thing it had just created.
He was receiving guests brought by Sapir.
"Greetings, esteemed sir." The old man, draped in an elaborate magic robe, greeted the little robot with elegance. "I am Fuller Lennon, the president of the Lukman Kingdom branch of the Mage's Association. By the God of Nature, I have come to disturb you because of an urgent matter. I presume you are aware of the appearance of the dragon?"
"We hope that you can join the expedition team so that we can seal the dragon back into peace and restore stability to the continent."
As the branch president of the Magicians' Guild introduced himself, the others also introduced themselves to the little robot.
There is the vice president of the Adventurers' Guild's Jurshire branch, the third seat of the Flame Knights stationed in the Queensferry Mountains, and grand mages and high-ranking adventurers belonging to the Mage's Association, the Adventurers' Guild, and Earl Noah's Manor, respectively.
This is already the most influential person here.
Those of higher rank than them either haven't arrived yet, or are already guarding the mountain ruins and can't leave.
These people made no attempt to hide anything when they introduced themselves. Not only did the little robot hear it, but the passersby who were very curious about the appearance of these important figures also heard it clearly.
Immediately, a collective gasp filled the air.
Those who had been delayed in selling their trash by the arrival of these important figures were utterly shocked!
By the God of Light! I'm standing in the same shop as these adults!
Oh my god, I can tell my children and grandchildren about this for the rest of my life!
After being astonished by the identities of these important figures, many people gradually began to wonder:
These important figures are already of high status, so what kind of person is the shop owner who can attract them all to come together with such a gentle and respectful attitude?
Everyone was speculating, and even their breathing became heavy with their guesses.
They strained their eyes and ears, trying to catch any information.
The little robot had no idea what these people's identities represented on this continent, and even if it did, it wouldn't care.
What does his human identity have to do with him being a robot?
Although he didn't know what Sapir had said to get these humans to come to him, he was quite interested in Fowler Lennon's proposal.
He was already quite curious about the dragon.
However, after leaving the Quinsferry Mountains last time, that area was guarded by the Mage's Guild, the Adventurers' Guild, and the Kingdom Knights, and people were not allowed to approach it casually.
Besides, the little robot also has scrolls to make, so it's okay if we can't see the dragon.
But now that the opportunity has been presented to him, he won't refuse it.
However, the little robot felt that it needed to explain things to humans in advance:
"I'm willing to go with you, but I have no fighting ability and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in any way."
Fuller Lennon and the others were taken aback.
He then smiled knowingly.
“Okay, we understand. Thank you for your willingness to help us. God will protect you.” Fowler Lennon handed the little robot a piece of animal skin. “There is about a month left before the Demon Dragon breaks the seal. Here is the relevant information. Please see if you need to make any preparations. We will meet at the Quinsferry Mountains in fifteen days.”
They acted as if they hadn't heard the words "no fighting power".
That's certainly impossible.
The reason Fowler Lennon and his companions were able to come here was naturally because they had inquired about him from members of the Black Star Adventurer Group, such as Sapir, and even Baron Oris. After understanding his mysterious and unpredictable methods, they came to invite him to join the dragon-slaying team.
Although Fuller and Lennon racked their brains but still couldn't figure out who this person was, and after guessing several people, they all felt that it was vague but not quite right, but there was no denying that he must be a strong person!
As for what he said about "lacking combat power," the others could understand it after a little thought.
Among the elders of the Mage Guild headquarters is one who specializes in crafting magical artifacts. He's completely inept at combat, but if you underestimate him, you're in trouble. This elder can casually wield a magical artifact, whether to aid him in battle or to protect him defensively, with complete ease. Even those with higher magic levels might not be able to defeat him.
This elder also increased his magic power level while making magical tools, and now it is so high that it is awe-inspiring.
Mr. Jitong's claim that he has no fighting ability must also be of this "support" type!
And so, despite their nonsensical exchanges, both sides achieved their goals happily.
Seeing that the little robot had accepted the animal skin scroll, Fuller Lennon prepared to go back.
With the addition of another expert to the expeditionary force, the future of the continent became even brighter, and Fuller Lennon felt a little more at ease.
As they took their leave, they also took the time to look around at the shop where this mysterious master was living in seclusion.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at him closely, but once he did, his words of farewell came to an abrupt halt.
"What... what are these?"
Fuller Lennon pointed to the items on the shelf, his voice trembling.
The little robot looked in that direction.
Those are all trash picked up from the world in front of us.
This is just to see if anyone in the world wants it. If no one wants it, that's fine, he can just take it back and deal with it.
However, apart from the initial solar-powered light bulb, which was bought by the National People's Congress at a high price, no one has inquired about the location of these other bulbs since.
The main reason is that the little robot didn't put much thought into this aspect; it even forgot to include a message about selling these items in its advertisement, as it was too busy collecting garbage.
Of course, the latter is his main job, which is normal.
Now that Fowler Lennon is asking, the little robots naturally can't mention the previous world, so they'll omit their origins and just give a brief introduction:
"This is a plastic bag. This is a plastic bottle. This is an electrical wire, and this is..."
"They are all available for sale."
At this moment, not only Fowler Lennon, but also the other magicians stood in front of the shelf, looking at each one one by one as the little robot introduced them. Their eyes widened and their hearts beat faster and faster!
When their eyes met occasionally, they immediately understood that not only they, but others also felt those things in the same way!
It's not an illusion!!!
What?! These are all for sale?!
As soon as the little robot finished speaking, a loud shout rang out: "I'll buy it! I'll buy it with magic crystals!!"
The one speaking was Fowler Lennon.
His cheeks were flushed red; he was incredibly excited.
