Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The caravan continued to move forward, but this time there were 6 more foxtail members. They were all women, wearing neat brown leather jackets, trousers for easy movement, tactical straps, daggers, and rifles in their hands. They were elite combat members of the foxtail species, and the foxtail species that Heshia first met that day was also among them.

"My name is Moli."

Facing Heshia, who was slightly shorter than her, the black-haired and gray-eyed foxtail species was a little uncomfortable. The pair of fox ears on her head also stood straight, reflecting her nervousness and vigilance.

"The name is very concise." Heshia always felt that the people who created the foxtail species back then should be the oriental forces. Whether it was their names or clothing styles and habits, they all had the shadow of oriental traditions.

Afterwards, there was another carriage in the caravan to carry the six of them and some of the goods. The six foxtails were divided into three groups, taking turns as guides, and occasionally responsible for finding water sources. Judging from their appearance, they should be very familiar with the surrounding environment.

With these local members, the trade of Tilan and her caravan became much more normal and smooth in the next few days, and there was no need for Heshia to appear and take action.

"We just seized this thing last month. Although not many people in our settlement understand electronic machinery, you can see that it is quite useful."

Several cockscomb-haired young men wearing short-sleeved shirts and vests were selling the big iron lump beside him to Guy and Moli. Judging from its appearance, it should have been part of a large machine, but there is only a fragment here.

"Dangdang--" As they said, several people knocked with the back of the knife.

"Listen, it's good steel at a glance. It's also a very good material for refining weapons. Sell it to you. Just exchange it with 10 barrels of fish." The other party said a few more words.

"How can this be worth so much money? It's heavy and clumsy. You said you want to refine weapons. I'm afraid you can't separate them even if you try for a long time..."

Tilan heard the discussion between Guy and the other party in front. She thought about it, put on a black veil, pulled up her hood, and walked out of the carriage. Because her figure was shrouded in a dark robe, outsiders couldn't see her body shape and appearance.

Seeing her walk out, Lololia, who had been eager to try, followed in small steps. At this time, she was also dressed similarly to Tilan, but her stature was obviously smaller.

After approaching, Tilan first stayed on the few people for a few seconds, and then her attention shifted to the mechanical wreckage placed aside. This piece was about 3 meters high, part of it was covered with armor like layers of shells, and part of it exposed some of the complex structures inside. It was all gray-silver metal color, with traces of oxidation, so that the surface was slightly rough like fog.

"Can Lololia tell what this is?" Tilan asked.

"I can't tell, but the material is familiar. It should be Mefia alloy, which is a common structural material in the Mechanical Council and is used to make some middle- and lower-class mechanical bodies." Loloria searched the database.

"Mefia alloy is easy to smelt, and the raw materials are easy to obtain. In addition, the strength meets the standard, so it has been used in large quantities to make low-end mechanical bodies."

"However, its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance are relatively poor, which means that parts will be phased out and replaced in a few years. Later, as our resources gradually became abundant, we gradually phased out the use of Mefia alloy and switched to Idia alloy with high corrosion resistance and higher material strength."

"In the two rows of rooms outside the hall where I slept, the mechanical bodies inside were all made of Idia alloy. Now, more than a thousand years have passed, and they are still as bright as new."

"What should this part be?" Tilan thought about it.

"It may have been made after I fell asleep, because its structure is not in my database. Logically, even a small part can be searched from the design drawings." Loloria answered.

While the two were talking, Guy and several local youths in the settlement in front of them also finished their negotiations, and finally made a deal with two sets of steel breastplates and a rifle in the caravan.

"Okay, now the question is how to pull it away." Guy looked at the mechanical debris in front of him that was taller than him, and turned to look for Lololia's figure.

He knew that Lololia could cut this big guy, so he went forward to bargain with the other party, otherwise such a large piece of debris would be inconvenient for the team to carry.

"I'm here, I'm here~" Lololia ran over with a slightly brisk pace. The few young people who were selling the debris had returned to the settlement not far from them, surrounded by caravan members.

Don't worry about exposing anything, Lololia raised her hand, and then as she injected energy, a slender light blue light thorn sprayed out from her palm. This should be a modified and simplified version of the lightsaber.

As the light blue light thorn slowly cut the parts, more details inside were also exposed. It seems that this should have been the joint part of a large machine. No wonder it is so strong, and there is a part similar to knee armor on the outside.

After cutting and separating the mechanical fragments step by step, the remaining members carried the fragments into the car and put them into wooden boxes for storage.

The caravan continued to move forward. The settlements in this area began to become dense. Heshia could see three or four passing settlements a day. Some of them had only about 40 people, while others had more than 100.

Another place that looked like a settlement point. The inclined rocks were stacked like sheets and emerged from the ground. The settlement was in the gap between the strata and the surface. However, it was not peaceful at this time. There were obvious signs of explosion at the entrance of the settlement. There were also several corpses lying next to it. Occasionally, gunshots and roars could be heard from deep in the cave of the settlement.

"It looks like there's an attack here. Do you want to help?" a member asked the girl on the carriage.

Tilan stuck her head out of the window, looked at the settlement in the distance for a few seconds, and then nodded.

"Let Lololia follow you. If anything happens, she can help you solve it."

"Lololia will definitely protect everyone~" The mechanical girl was very happy to hear that she could go out. Although she couldn't reveal her identity casually, it was still a good insurance.

So, five people were quickly separated from the caravan, and they rushed over quickly, especially the gray-feathered young man, who was very fast and worthy of being a race born to be an assassin.

As for the others, they followed the team forward at a leisurely pace.

More than ten minutes later, Tilan got off the carriage. It was rare that she didn't wear a hood today. Her soft hair fell on the hood and shoulders, and a small part was slightly bent, which was a bit natural.

Walking to the entrance of the settlement under the small cliff, the air became slightly cooler. It seems that the people here have chosen a good location. The air here is smooth and not too sunny. I just don't know what the situation is like inside the cave.

Slightly lowering his head, he walked down the stone steps at the entrance. It was very dry here, and there were a few pieces of sand and gravel on the ground. As he walked in, the light gradually dimmed. He saw two other dead bodies along the way. From their appearance, he couldn't tell their specific race. They should be ordinary people with mixed blood.

There was a small front hall with an area of ​​about 30 square meters. You can also see stone sofas and chairs placed here. It seems that they are well maintained.

Tilan's light blue eyes turned slightly curiously, looking deeper into the cave. At this time, a member of the caravan returned with a gun.

"What happened inside?"

"There were originally three attackers, all of whom were killed by us. As for the survivors, we are still looking for them."

Tilan nodded slightly, then closed his eyes slightly and let his consciousness spread out. After a few seconds, he pointed him in one of the directions.

"It seems there is still a survivor there. As for the deep underground, there is also some kind of breath." She tilted her head and thought for a while.

"Yes!" The other party went to the direction pointed by Tilan with high morale.

An hour later, the caravan members temporarily gathered in the front hall of this settlement. Tilan sat alone on the stone chair. There was a circle of people behind her. There were two elite foxtails with guns standing beside her. Against the background of these members who looked difficult to mess with, the girl in the black gauze skirt looked particularly mysterious. Although she looked quite delicate, the young man in the white shirt sitting opposite her did not dare to look up. His hands were placed on his knees nervously and trembling slightly.

"Can you tell me the specific situation? Don't worry, we are not here to attack and rob." Tilan said a few words, and then the foxtails on the side handed her the freshly brewed hot coffee.

"I..." The white-shirted young man opposite still had a fearful and trembling voice.

"I don't know... the matter, the matter is like this." He described the process in a not very clear manner.

In fact, he was not originally a member of this settlement, but was sold here by the looting team half a year ago. Because he knew some mechanical and electronic knowledge, he was valued by the boss of the settlement and asked him to maintain some equipment in the settlement. It is said that the member who was originally responsible for this died unexpectedly in the battle.

"Are they good to you?" Although it is a rough stone chair, it is like some kind of ancient throne when the black-haired and blue-eyed girl sits on it, making her temperament feel natural.

"They are a little fierce and often conflict with nearby settlements, but they are quite good to me."

"The food and delicious food that can be obtained in the settlement will always be left for me." In many settlements, this is the treatment that only core members can get.

"You don't have to do any heavy work on weekdays, just maintain the equipment and power generation solar panels in the base."    "But when it comes to some major decisions in the settlement, they won't ask me for my opinion." The young man in white shirt spoke a little more clearly at this time.

"Last month, the leader got an electromagnetic gun from somewhere. He thought the time had come, so he led his men to attack another nearby settlement and prepared to conquer it."

"But since they left, they never came back, so there were only me and six other members left in the base. Most of them were not combatants. Two of them were cooks, one was a doctor, one was a gunsmith, one was responsible for simple sewing and cleaning, and the remaining one was the leader's nephew. He had a full set of armor and was quite capable."

"The leader has not come back this month. We are very uneasy, but because of the shortage of manpower, we dare not go out to look for him casually. That is, today, we were finally attacked."

"Do you know the identity of the attacker?" Tilan picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"I don't know them, but my companions said that they don't look like people from the local settlement. They should be wandering abandoned wolf blood species."

"Now that everyone in the settlement has died in the battle, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I definitely can't defend this place alone. Please take me away. Please, it's okay. Everything here is for you. You can take it away. Just don't kill me." At this point, his voice trembled with panic again.

Tilan shook her head slightly at his statement. She didn't express her opinion immediately, but continued to ask out of curiosity.

"Have you guessed the reason for the leader's disappearance? If the attack on other settlements failed, the other side should have counterattacked. It is impossible for them to leave you alone for a month."

"I can't guess. I've been working for them in the cave and have basically never been outside." He looked completely powerless. No wonder the members of this settlement didn't worry about him escaping.

"Is that so..." Tilan thought for a while.

"Do you know what's deep underground in the settlement cave? It seems to be very unusual there."

"There? It should be a cold storage. Although I am responsible for maintaining the refrigeration equipment on weekdays, I don't have the key to the door inside. It has always been in the hands of the two chefs."

Hearing this, Tilan looked up, and soon a member searched for the key on the chef and brought it.

"Is it this key?" The key was silver-gray and slightly rough.

"Yes, it's this one. I saw the chef uncle use it. He also secretly gave me extra meat." Thinking of the experience in the past six months, the young man in white shirt was full of emotion.

"Then let's go down and take a look." Tilan stood up and asked several members to take the young man in white shirt with him. Several people walked in front with torches.

The passage leading to the underground cold storage is quite long and winding, which is very different from the style of the upper part. Looking at the smoothness of the wall on the side, one can even doubt that this underground warehouse was built first, and then the cave settlement on the ground was built later.

A few minutes later, several people stopped in front of the thick sealed door. The young man in white shirt nervously inserted the key and twisted it left and right. After a while, with a faint sound, the door slowly opened, revealing the cold air accumulated inside.

Facing us were various hanging animal carcasses and separated boneless meat pieces, all frozen hard. Continue to walk in. There are some bagged internal organs in the corner. It seems that they are not welcome and eat very little. The ice on them is also particularly thick.

The members behind Tilan walked out and carefully searched in this nearly 100 square meters of cold storage. After a while, everyone returned.

"I didn't find anything special, but..." A member was about to say something, but soon he was patted by his companion and shook his head at him.

"Nothing, Lord Heshia, it's just some frozen meat."

Why are they hiding it from me so obviously? From their looks, it seems that it's for my own good. The girl was a little puzzled and couldn't help but want to know clearly.

"You should tell me, don't hide it."

"This..." Several people hesitated.

"Forget it, I'll do it." Guy came over and whispered a few words in Tilan's ear.

After that, Tilan turned his eyes to the hanging pieces of meat in the cold storage, his eyes swept over some details, and then looked away.

"Is that so..." Her voice was slightly low, and she no longer asked everyone why.

"But." Then, she raised her head again, looking directly at the innermost wall of the cold storage.

"There should be a passage here." After saying that, she walked forward slowly and pressed her fingers lightly on the wall full of frozen ice.

After that, as if by magic, the frozen ice on the entire wall melted instantly, turned into flowing water and slid down, revealing the faint gap on the wall.

Tilan blinked her eyes, and a faint cold light appeared on her fingertips. She gently scratched the wall. After a few seconds, a hole as tall as a person fell from the wall, revealing the space inside.

"What is this?" Everyone looked inside curiously.

There was a four-meter-long metal structure passage inside, with an iron door on each side. Judging from the rust on the passage and the various graffiti and waste paper that had not been cleaned up, it should be quite old. Tilan came to an iron door, held the door handle tightly, turned the valve on it, and then the iron door opened, revealing an extremely narrow small room inside.

A fluorescent tube emitting extremely weak light was tied to the ceiling with iron wire, and in the almost invisible weak light, a figure with fluffy moth feathers knelt between the waste blankets and flannel. Tilan's fingertips appeared with small balls emitting soft light, and as they flew closer, they illuminated the uneasy and frightened pair of blue eyes.

She was plump but not tall, wearing extremely simple clothes, or perhaps it was more like a piece of cloth that was about to be torn. Although the clothes and the situation were extremely simple, the snow-white down feathers extending from her back were like moth wings magnified many times, with fluffy ball-like hair at the root, and slightly smooth tail of the wings, with a little scale powder faintly visible, keeping her body clean and avoiding moisture and odor.

She might not be as tall as Tilan, but with the snow-white moth wings like a cloak and the plump body curves, she always gave people a feeling of being much more mature, but still with a bit of cuteness of petite body.

Under the reflection of the light ball, the most amazing thing was the beautiful hair like silver snow, which had the beauty of a rare thing.

"Is this... a silkworm moth species?" Fran looked at the figure kneeling on the ground in shock and surprise. He had only seen the description of this species in the records.

"Yes, this is the silkworm moth species." Guy stepped forward, slowly squatted down and looked carefully at the figure in front of him who was afraid and shrank back.

"It is said that all silkworm moth species were stripped of their aggressiveness when their genes were designed. They dare not resist anyone's orders and are afraid of any bloody scenes. Their hair is the best silk, very beautiful and has a self-cleaning effect. In the past, it was welcomed by all new races."

"At the same time, their body organs can adapt to any humanoid species and will not cause rejection reactions. If you want to use her to save people, she will be very happy because she can be useful."

"No matter how you bully her, as long as you give her a little encouragement and reward, she will forget the pain you brought her."

"Thousands of years ago, many new races would raise these silkworm moth species. They were the best livestock and maids, but later the situation continued to deteriorate, and various forces did not have the spare money to raise them."

"Does the silkworm moth have intelligence?" Tilan also came to the frightened silkworm moth, bent carefully, and stretched out his hand to show her goodwill.

"Yes, according to the records of the association library, the intelligence of the silkworm moth is the same as that of normal people, and even a little smarter, but no one will teach them too much knowledge." Fran recalled what he had learned.

"Can you understand what I say?" Tilan blinked slowly, and touched the back of the other's embraced hand with her fingers, trying to convey her gentle kindness to the other.

This silkworm moth seemed to be particularly smart in emotional consciousness activities. Sensing the kindness released by the girl in front of him, he was no longer as nervous as before. His eyes were wide open, looking at the girl in front of him, as if he wanted to remember this face.

"My name is Olenna, are you... my new master?"
