Automatic Doll Automaton

The white automaton raised its hand and began to speak Cyphers, which the two still couldn’t understand.

“You should have brought an interpreter as well.”

“right-! I don’t know, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Carrot, tongue out long with crank and frown, made an X sign with both arms.

Then the automaton on the other side also shut up.

Then he gestured to them and pointed in the direction with his finger.

“You seem to be following me?”

“The automaton is acting with its own will. Is it good to see it as a manifestation of veterans? Interesting. Let’s follow.”

“huh. I will lead.”

Following the friendly enemy automaton they met in the dungeon, the two found two exhausted human men in the depths of a natural cave near the central passage.

“Oh oh! Ohhh! You were trying to save your master. You are a very special guy!”

Carrot praised the white automaton. Crank was looking over them when Carrot approached and asked.

“What are you going to do? They are hostile forces to us.”

Krank glanced at the white automaton standing nearby and finally unpacked his backpack.

“Let’s help first.”

After mixing water with a health potion and letting them drink it, they returned to the central aisle with one Crank and one white automaton supporting them. The attacking monster was dealt with by Carrot.

After walking for two more hours following the sign at the fork while looking at the notebook, they finally arrived at the exit of the cave they collapsed.

Seeing that, Crank and Carrot were amazed.

“Wow, did you clean it up?”

Soon after, as soon as I left the cave, the desolate desert that I did not want to see twice appeared again with the heat.

It was a very foreign world to Crank and Carrot, who had lived in a country of grasslands.

“It is terrible.”

Crank gave a brief review.

“uh? Where?”

The white automaton, who had escaped from the cave together, started walking along the edge of the cliff under the mountain with a person on its back. Then he stops, looks back, and gestures.

“Oh, you seem to be asking me to keep following you?”

“Let’s follow. Maybe I can meet the Admir tribe.”

“What are you going to do?”

Crank, who was looking down at the sand on the ground, lifted his helmet slightly. A challenging gaze was revealed inside the helmet.

“If you are a civilized person, you should start a conversation first.”

“Yeah, I hope I can communicate.”

Walking in wonder at the sinking desert sand, they reached a terrain with rolling black rocks and stones on a gentle slope.

After rummaging through the stunned man’s pocket, the white automaton pulled out a small whistle-like object, brought it to the likely mouth of the mask, and held it out to Crank.

“As if to set it on fire?”

“The lung capacity of automatons is less than that of humans, but isn’t this more like cooperation than one-sided help? It is interesting that this cooperative relationship is maintained even after escaping the dungeon. In fact, wouldn’t veterans emerge to pursue cooperation like humans based on countless memories and experiences? And what we reach in the end… … !”

“Calm down and blow fast.”

At Carrot’s urging, Crank lifted his helmet and put a whistle to his mouth and blew it with all his might. But there was no sound.

“hmm? Is it broken?”

“I don’t know.”

As he examines the whistle, suddenly something moves near a pile of rocks and approaches. It was a desert scorpion. Startled, Carrot pulled out his ax and tried to throw it, but the white automaton blocked it.

Sasak! Sasak!

The desert scorpion, which moved swiftly on its many legs and quietly bowed down, was saddled like a horse.

Carrot and Crank looked up at the tamed desert scorpion in amazement.

“Oh wow! Oh my gosh, you mean riding something like this?”

“Amazing. What kind of crazy person would have thought of taming a King Scorpion?”

The white automaton, which had placed the exhausted man on the saddle with familiar skill, rummaged through the pockets of the man Crank was supporting, then took out the same whistle and held it out.

“What kind of key is this? Is it one per dog? Blow it up! hurry!”

Crank blew it again as Carrot watched in anticipation, and indeed another desert scorpion came.

A white automaton sitting on the scorpion that came earlier and holding the reins beckoned.

“oh! Like riding?”

“Let’s go.”

Crank picked up Carrot, stepped on the stirrups, and climbed into the scorpion’s saddle. It must have weighed a lot, but the desert scorpion stood up lightly and followed the lead scorpion.

“Oh oh! Ohhh! Amazing! Oh my God, you can ride a scorpion! Wow!”

Carrot, who was seated in front of the crank, looked down at the wide back of the scorpion and was amused.

“I feel like a beast tamer. I never thought I would ride a scorpion. It is something to live and see.”

“really! wahahahaha! When we get back, let’s catch a scorpion and tame it!”

“hmm.”

After riding a scorpion that was slower than a horse but faster than a camel and traveled for more than two hours, a black dot appeared on the horizon, and as it got closer, the overall outline was revealed.

“It is a city. Perhaps that is the destination.”

Crank, who was looking through the telescope, held it out to Carrot. Carrot, who had been wearing a towel with her hair untied, fearing overheating in the pouring sunlight, held the telescope to her eyes.

“Is that a rock?”

There is an oasis under a rocky mountain that rises like a recognizable landmark in the sandy desert, and around it is a small forest with palm trees and a village where people live.

There are no buildings made of wood or bricks here like Liznet, and most of the streets are covered with large tents of nomadic tribes.

As I entered the street so easily without passing through the city gates, people passing by began to stare at me with a murmur. Carrot, who was sitting on the scorpion’s back and looking down at them, looked around.

“Wow, there are no barriers or barriers here?”

“They say Cyphers doesn’t have many monsters.”

“Yes? Then what about him?”

“Aren’t you a monster now?”

“Oh, is that so?”

After a moment of controversy, the desert scorpion made its way through the streets and into the open space under the rocky mountain, where it came to a halt. The white automaton jumped down, and Crank and Carrot also got off the scorpion.

Carrot, whose eyes were wide open, couldn’t keep his senses as he watched the city of rocks towering over the country of sand.

“and! wow! Buildings, sky, people, everything is different! It smells different too!”

Carrot turned to the crank.

“What! Isn’t this an overseas trip?”

“Well, tourism is not the purpose, but if you insist on it, you will be right. Because this is a city in another country.”

As Crank nodded, Carrot held his cheeks with both hands and hoohhhhh! I screamed.

“Hooo! It’s an overseas trip! I’m enjoying being a celebrity right now! Name it Celeb Carrot! You should brag to Tuna and Ariete! yes! Let’s buy some souvenirs when we go!”

“hmm. if there is a chance.”

Contrary to Carrot, who was excited about his first overseas trip, and Crank, who was calm, the city in the desert was in an uproar because of the sudden arrival of strangers. Soldiers in uniform rushed in and pointed spears at them, and a barrage of questions poured in, but

Carrot replied with a yawn.

“Elegance! Yum yum, does anyone know how to speak Liznet? I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

Carrot, who yawned like a human for fun, raised his hand on his waist and spoke. The soldiers around him looked at each other and raised their voices.

“Oh-ho-ho, I think the duck is quacking? Risenet, Risenet, I will only understand.”

“It’s not good to say that you don’t understand me like that.”

“huh? why? Isn’t this the den of evil?”

After turning around, Carrot looked up at the crank and asked. Even though the blade of a spear came and went in front of his face, Crank looked around as if he didn’t care.

The faces and expressions of the gathered onlookers, the way they dress, the state of hygiene, the things they have, and the civilization and life they have built… … .

Krank, who had been meticulously examining each one, turned his head and opened his mouth while looking ahead.

“Even in hell, morning comes. This is also where people live. I want to think so, not yet.”

“Hee hee hee! Yes, not yet!”

The ferocious-faced soldiers were dumbfounded by the two’s reaction. Usually, when you point a spear or knife at them, you are afraid, but the sudden strangers do not seem to be intimidated at all.

Is it simply because the words don’t work?

Or, is there a corner to believe in something?

The soldiers, a little angry at being too proud of being a foreigner, urged someone on. After a while, they brought a fair-skinned young woman dressed in traditional clothes, and the soldiers treated her politely, perhaps because she was of a fairly high rank.

Crank was so big that she had to look up, so it was Carrot who looked down at her with her eyes down and an overbearing expression.

“Are you Liznet?”

“Ki-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yi! sister! Can you speak Liznet!? Meeting people from the same country abroad! I am very excited by this overwhelming delight!”

As the excited Carrot squawked, the people around her covered their ears and frowned. Crank, who was still looking down at her, asked.

“Are you? Are you from Liznet?”

A woman with a confident expression lifted her head.

“It was, but not now. I am the one who serves the Admir family, the great nobility of Cypher. You look like a dissolute adventurer, but be polite!”

When the woman raised her voice, Carrot, who opened her eyes wide, shut her mouth. Crank let out a short sigh.

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about this situation. But seeing it with my own eyes is amazing. Let’s say Tongseong. I’m Adventurer Crank, this is my assistant Carrot, and you?”

The woman’s face contorted.

“This little kid is an assistant? Liznet’s adventurers are always demons! Linen Katie Jaycan!”

When I shouted in Cypher’s language, the soldiers made scary faces and drew their arms.

It was then.

Carrot jumped up and clung to the woman’s back, clasping her arms and legs around her body. A sharp knife was thrust into her thin neck.

“Thanks for your concern, but I am an automaton. yes!”

Carrot bit the woman’s ear lightly, and she let out a low moan as she closed her eyes tightly. In this gap, Crank also took out a modified 4-mana engine from his backpack.

“This is the magic engine of the hard-skinned automaton you sent over the mountain. When it explodes, it produces firepower equivalent to that of a magic crystal bomb.”

The face of the woman who was listening was tired.

“I want to speak with the head of the noble Admir family.”

The crank who turned the pitch spoke lowly.

“translate.”

* * *

The hostage woman’s name is Homir, and she has been in Cyphers for about five years.

“So how did you know and sent the automaton? No, where did you get the automaton from?”

“Huh, heh! I think I will teach you. … !”

As he licked his ears with his tongue, Homir tucked his neck in like a tortoise and began to make hard-to-hear noises.

“Carrot.”

“Because you don’t answer. wow, but it’s amazing Are your ears tickling like that?”

Carrot was still clinging to the back of Homir, who was walking ahead. Guarded by nervous soldiers, they were ushered into the stony mountain.

Surprisingly, the main body of the village is a rocky mountain, and over the centuries, the stone walls have been cut to create a village inside. Outside, the village around the oasis was something like a store or warehouse.

After a long walk through the maze-like dungeon-like village of Dolsan, they arrived at a large room.

There was a rocking chair in the middle of the carpet, and an old woman was sitting and knitting leisurely. News should have been delivered, but there were no guards around.

In the first place, Crank found it strange that armed strangers were welcomed into the village.

Is the bowl large? Or, do you have other ulterior motives?

Crank glanced around the room and found out why. Those white automatons were lined up on the walls of the large room.

“Is it an automaton storage warehouse? amazing! so much… … !”

“Tell me quickly where you got it! Churup Churup! Swipe!”

“Kyaaang-!”
