Day 48 of picking up trash
It was a combination magic spell called Thunder Wave, which was a combination of water and lightning elements. The water element, which surged in like a tidal wave, was so powerful that it could instantly turn even a solid rock into dust, let alone a person!
Not to mention the streaks of lightning that flashed within, radiating a terrifying and unstoppable pressure!
Sapir knew he wouldn't be able to save the person caught in the crossfire.
He could only stare wide-eyed, trying hard to remember the man's face, hoping that after his death, he could find his family and offer them some comfort.
Then, he witnessed a miracle!
A spell that could obliterate an entire area arrived in front of the man in the blink of an eye. However, the snow-haired youth neither dodged nor avoided it. His eyes gleamed as he stared at the spell that could instantly take a life!
Then he reached out his hand—
There were no dazzling light effects, no deafening sounds. In just a moment, the wave of thunder vanished!
Vanished without a trace!
Sapir's eyes widened in surprise.
Not only him, but everyone present was shocked.
Even the adventurers and knights whose weapons were clashing, still in that position, had to turn their heads and stare wide-eyed to see what was going on.
"How...how is this possible?!"
Sapir rubbed his eyes, doubting his own vision.
Oris, who personally threw out the magic scroll, almost fell off his horse, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at the snow-haired boy.
"Who...who are you?!"
Oris had no time to fight with the Black Star Adventurer Group, which he had always disliked, and was focused on asking the snow-haired boy questions.
The fight hadn't forced him to dismount, but now he was doing so on his own initiative.
No matter how impulsive or wicked he may be, he still possesses basic common sense. For the snow-haired youth to be able to instantly and silently annihilate this magic, his level must be far higher than the magic's level; it must be a significant, overwhelming advantage, to achieve such an effect!
At least, none of the high-level magicians he met during his visit to Earl Noah's manor could reach this level.
In other words, even at the very least, this person is still a mage.
Even for a mage, it wouldn't be so easy to extinguish the Thunder Wave without leaving a trace!
However, Oris dared not guess any further.
Even Baron Oris had this attitude, so no one else present dared to say anything.
Kober, who was in the corner, recognized the stranger he had tried to get rid of earlier. Thinking about his bad attitude towards him, Kober trembled with fear.
The little robot, under the spotlight, remained completely calm.
They have absolutely no awareness of how they scare humans.
The little robot not only didn't know why the humans around it had suddenly stopped fighting, but it was also staring at Oris with a hint of expectation in its eyes.
This is like hoping for another magic that humans don't want!
He had just put that magic into the recycling bin and immediately gained a lot of energy. And this magic was quite special; the little robot was overjoyed to receive such unique new trash.
Unfortunately, the natives of the other world couldn't understand the trash can robot's thought process, so they all stood quietly in place, not daring to throw a single word at it, let alone use magic.
The little robot blinked.
Seeing that the human was motionless, he realized that it was unlikely he would "find" another magic spell. Then he remembered that the human had asked him a question earlier.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Na Jitong," the little robot introduced politely.
He had gotten used to saying this name when people asked his name.
Oris breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he couldn't recall any powerful figure with the surname "Naji," perhaps he was simply ignorant, or perhaps the person was reluctant to reveal their real name.
In short, the other party was willing to tell them their name, and judging from their attitude, they seemed to be well-intentioned, at least not the capricious type.
"Your Excellency Nagi, your arrival has added divine glory to Milton Manor!" Oris Milton displayed the most elegant manners he had ever displayed, speaking as if in chanting, "Please forgive my previous neglect and rudeness. Oris is willing to serve you personally and accomplish everything for you. May I ask what I can do for you?"
Little robot: "...?"
This human's speech is so strange.
He deleted the meaningless sentences at the beginning, leaving only the last useful one.
Is this human trying to help me?
Although I don't know why, there are indeed kind people among us who are willing to help others unconditionally. Perhaps this human is one of them.
The little robot just happened to be in need.
He then pointed to something and asked, "Do you still want this?"
He was pointing to the magic scroll that Oris had torn up and thrown away.
The magic within the magic scroll has been released, and now the torn scroll on the ground is just a used and discarded item, only good for someone to pick up and burn as firewood.
Some magic scrolls, if made of animal hide, are so unwanted that no one would even want them for firewood after they've been used.
Because animal hides cannot be ignited.
In this situation, Oris Milton thought the little robot had pointed to the wrong thing.
Once he was sure he hadn't pointed to the wrong person, Oris Milton shook his head in confusion: "No, thank you. What is this?"
The little robot had no time to reply; as soon as it heard "no," it happily picked up the item, its little flower petals fluttering in its eyes.
After picking it up, the little robot discovered that it wasn't blank, but rather covered with intricate patterns.
The little robot certainly couldn't mistake it for a real pattern; with a little analysis, the scanning program could discern that it contained a certain specific regularity.
However, more detailed information and time are needed to study this further.
The little robot put the scroll into the recycling bin and placed it next to the cluster of violently fluctuating magic it had just received.
He was also planning to see if he could put the magic back into the scroll, but he couldn't, whether because the scroll was broken or for some other complicated reason. He could only leave it as is for now.
A hint of disappointment crept onto his face.
This slight sense of loss, which he himself was unaware of, was noticed by Oris Milton, who was closely watching him.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Your Excellency, there are many blank scrolls in Milton Manor. If you are interested, I can give them to you."
The little robot's eyes lit up.
Is there really such a good thing?!
He nodded happily.
Oris Milton felt a surge of pride and delight at suddenly finding himself closer to this mysterious figure.
Seeing that Oris and the little robot were getting along better and better, Sapir couldn't help but chime in.
He began, “Your Excellency Nagi, you must be looking to research new magic scrolls, right? Are you missing any materials? Although our Black Star Adventurer Group may not be ranked among the top in the world, we are at least somewhat famous in the northern part of Lukman.”
"We know the area around Joel County like the back of our hand. If you'd like, the Black Star Adventurer Group is happy to serve you!"
Sapir is not the leader of Black Star, but he holds a high position within Black Star, being one of the eight vice-leaders.
He believed that even without discussing it with others, his proposal would not be rejected once the commander and the others found out.
This is a golden opportunity to befriend someone who is at least a Grandmaster! If he doesn't seize this chance, how can he still have the face to be the vice-captain!
Not only did Sapir proactively request Black Star to provide services for the little robot, but he also took a jab at Oris Milton: "Milton Manor does have some blank scrolls, but most of them are ordinary, and few can carry powerful spells. I'm afraid they won't meet your requirements."
Oris Milton glared at Sapir fiercely.
Clearly, if it weren't for the presence of a mysterious figure here, he would have definitely been tempted to fight that person again.
Their scrutinizing gazes went unnoticed by the little robot.
At that moment, the little robot felt that there was a word that humans used to describe it so accurately.
"Double happiness."
Isn't this double happiness? A human is willing to give me a blank scroll, and another human is even taking the initiative to help me find the materials to make the scroll.
The little robot accepted both offers without hesitation, nodding in agreement.
"Just send the blank scroll here."
The little robot handed Oris Milton a small advertising card and pointed to the store address on it.
Seeing that he had only two cards left, he simply gave one to Sapir and one to the knight closest to him.
He also said, "The shop has just opened, please take good care of me."
They haven't forgotten their main job.
Oris Milton: "..."
Sapir: "..."
The "lucky" knight: "..."
In an instant, everyone dared not underestimate this white-haired youth.
Look at this, "paying to collect garbage"—this is something never heard of before. If it weren't for those eccentric and unique individuals, who among ordinary people would do such a thing!
After handing out the flyers, the little robot stood next to Sapir.
I'm ready to go with him to find the materials now.
It's definitely impossible for the two sides to continue fighting now.
Oris Milton bid farewell to the little robot, then snorted at Sapir before leaving with his men.
He planned to personally deliver the blank scrolls to Lord Naji's shop.
As for the magic crystal that caused their dispute, Oris thought that Sapir probably didn't have the mind to chase after him to return it.
He can have that monster's body.
Anyway, Oris Milton wasn't really lacking in this level-three magic crystal. If it weren't for Black Star chasing after it, he wouldn't have bothered to steal it.
Just as Oris had predicted, Sapir only remembered that he had forgotten to ask for the magic crystal after Oris left, but at this moment he really didn't intend to chase after him.
He spoke with the little machine for a few minutes and learned that it did not have a specific destination at the moment. After obtaining its consent, Sapir decided to take it with him to continue his journey towards the Quince Ferry Mountains.
Their mission this time is inside, and they might even encounter the materials that Lord Naji needs along the way.
While that level-three magic crystal was good, it wasn't particularly rare. Compared to the favor of a mysterious powerful figure, the latter was undoubtedly more important.
However, although he didn't plan to continue pursuing the level 3 magic crystals, he didn't intend to just throw away the monster's corpse.
Sapir directed his men to cut off the horns of the Fiery One-Horned Bull.
As its name suggests, the most precious part of this magical beast is its single horn. Whether used as a weapon for adventurers or for mages, it has excellent magical conductivity, and its attack power can be greatly enhanced for fire-based users.
It's almost as precious as a level three magic crystal.
Besides this horn, there's also its skin.
The Black Star Adventurers were clearly very skilled at dealing with magical beasts. Even skinning them was done cleanly and efficiently, leaving intact skins without a trace of meat.
After obtaining these two items, the Fiery Unicorn Bull becomes largely useless.
Its meat is also unpalatable, dry and tough, and impossible to chew. Eating too much of it can cause the magic within the body to become extremely volatile, and if it is not properly managed, it can lead to a complete disruption of one's magic, and even self-destruction is not out of the question.
So Sapir just left the rest there, told the group to pack up, and prepared to go back into the mountains.
The little robot watched with great interest throughout their entire process of dealing with the monster.
Now that it has discovered that none of the remaining items are wanted, the little robot knows it's time to step in.
"Don't you want any of these?" the little robot asked Sapir to confirm.
Upon hearing this, Sapir immediately recalled the scene of the discarded scroll.
"Yes, I don't want it anymore." He was confused, but he didn't show it on his face. "You can do whatever you want with it."
So, the little robot happily waved its hand, and the huge monster corpse disappeared into its recycling bin.
This bewildering dynamic between the Black Star Adventure Team and the cheerful interaction between the little robots continued throughout their subsequent journey.
Just around the edge of the woods surrounding Milton Manor lies the outer edge of the Queensferry Mountains. The Black Star Adventurers' mission target is in the middle of the mountains, which sounds close, but even if everything goes smoothly, it will take at least ten days to reach their destination.
The little robot didn't have anything urgent to do, so it listened to Black Star's progress the whole way.
The garbage shop had an automated garbage collection system, so he didn't need to worry about it at all. In fact, seeing that there was no one in the shop and only the machines operating, some timid slaves who dared not not come actually came more often.
After all, this is a place where you can really make money; they only need what the other people don't want. They can even sell excrement!
With the shop no longer a concern, the little robot could focus more on following Black Star on his journey.
Although it has only been two days, the little robot says that there have been many new and interesting things along the way! It has added a lot of new knowledge to its database!
Warcraft is one aspect, but even the flowers and plants in the magical world have magic!
Anyway, the little robot followed Black Star all the way, collecting one of every new species it encountered and storing them in its warehouse. It studied how to use them if needed.
Of course, he didn't touch those unique items.
This behavior is not in line with his creative philosophy for this robot.
This "collecting hobby" is of course not limited to vegetation, but also includes, but is not limited to, animals, and even soil and minerals.
In short, along the way, everyone in the Black Star Adventurer Group learned that this Lord Nagi's hobby is collecting trash.
...Does this mean that the more powerful a being is, the more eccentric their hobbies should be, and that this is the right path?
Should I start thinking ahead about what kind of quirky hobby I should cultivate in the future?
