Chapter 538: Machinery Town
When magic develops vigorously, it is inevitably accompanied by the backwardness of technology.
Since coming to the Albarez Empire, Kira has hardly seen any excellent magic props or magic weapons, which is very different from Yin Shugar.
You know, even in the Kingdom of Fiore, there are many adventure guilds, treasure hunters, mercenaries, killers... These people may not necessarily use magic, but most of them can use magic props and weapons. They are also some businessmen.
The most loyal customers.
These merchants united and established a chamber of commerce that specializes in the sale and purchase of weapons. This chamber of commerce is not controlled by the Senate, but is under the management of multiple kingdoms and continuously delivers special magic weapons to these kingdoms.
Of course, this is a secret operation; on the surface, they are just ordinary magic shops.
Kira is one of the more famous businessmen in this group of chambers of commerce. His 'Hope House' was very active for a while, but later Kira shifted his focus to magic toys, and the manufacturing of weapons gradually decreased.
In the past year, Silver has been like a supernova. With his extraordinary magic weapons, he has come from behind and successfully crushed a large group of bosses in the chamber of commerce, becoming the leader in the chamber of commerce. The weapons he manufactures are deeply loved by the royal families of various countries.
The amount is higher month by month.
It's a pity that even such a weapons merchant's guild, which covers almost the entire Yinshugar, can't get its hands on Alakitasia, just because there is an alchemist here who masters mechanical refinement.
Protector of the Twelve Shields, ‘Judge’ Val Yinhit.
…
On the central street of a small town, several boys and girls who looked to be in their teens or 20s, like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time, gaped at the mechanical toys walking back and forth on the street, as if their world view had been influenced by a hundred
The violent impact of the giant dragon.
"This... I'm not dazzled... Habi, did you see it?"
"I saw it, Natsu! It's so amazing!"
"Quick! Punch me! See if I'm dreaming..."
"Let me go!"
Peng!
!
"It hurts!
It seems to be true!”
"These mechanical toys are self-aware? How interesting!"
The cherry-haired boy led a blue cat flying in the air with white wings. He ran around excitedly. When he caught a mechanical tribesman, he couldn't wait to ask questions. His face was full of curiosity to discover a new world.
"Do you need to eat? Do you need to use the toilet? Can you use magic? How cool!
"
"I told you two, don't run around!
"
The pretty girl with long blond hair complained skillfully, and chased after her with a pair of voluptuous thighs. This place was different. She had to watch these two troublemakers for a moment. If they were allowed to act like usual,
If you make a fuss everywhere, you may soon attract enemies that are difficult to deal with.

This is not the Kingdom of Fiore, Fairy Tail is not that respectable!
Gray looked around and scratched the short black hair on his head with his right hand in confusion: "I always feel that there is something weird everywhere here... How can there be a robot in this world that can move, talk, and look like a human?"
The little girl Wendy on the side thought of Irene who had just separated not long ago, and her exquisite personality-adding magic that is unparalleled in the world, and said sweetly: "If you can master the personality-adding magic of Irene-san's level,
If so, it should be possible.”
"But wouldn't the added personality turn into a human like her two maids? These people in front of me still retain mechanical characteristics!"
Urrutia began to popularize knowledge to a few people: "They are a mechanical race. Like humans, transcendents, dragons, and demons, they are an independent ethnic group! It's just that the number of mechanical races is very small. Maybe the number of the mechanical race in this town is
Citizens account for more than 90% of all mechanical tribes, and in addition, there are still some tribesmen scattered around."
"Are the mechanical tribes outside like me and Habib?"
Xia Lulu, as a transcendent who broke away from the ethnic group and followed humans, is more understandable in this regard.
"Of course, it is also possible that the mechanical race here is actually a branch distributed outside, and the real race is unknown in a more unknown secret location."
"So that's it..."
Although the surroundings were noisy and no different from a normal town, Erza did not relax her vigilance. Instead, after carefully looking around several times, she asked: "Is the person you are looking for in this town?"
?It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a human among the machine tribe, right?”
Kira spread his hands helplessly after hearing this: "I'm so sorry, the guy we are looking for is also a member of the Machine Tribe! - Although he looks no different from a normal person."
"Also, not all the mechanical tribe here are short and toy-like! Look over there..."
Several people followed the red-haired boy's gaze, and what they saw were several teenagers who looked just like normal humans, but got along well with other short robots.
The faces of these mechanical tribesmen are full of laughter. At first glance, they look like a big brother playing with his little brother and sister. Obviously, even though they are of different races, they have emotions and intentions just like humans!
Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This is a mechanical town. In the Albarez Empire, it belongs to the jurisdiction of the Twelve Shields of the Saints and the ‘Judge’ Val. It is the same town where Kira stayed for a month.
However, although this is a town directly managed by Val, it seems to be out of consideration for the safety of the tribe, and its reputation is very low. Even the natives of the Albarez Empire may not know that there is a 'mechanical town' here.
existence.
The boys and girls standing in the street making a fuss were naturally Kira and Urrutia, members of the 'War Stop Negotiation Team', as well as Erza and her group from the 'Support Travel Team'.
As for Selene, as a guide, she took Irene to Kirtina to find the alchemist who could use 'body refining'.
A few days ago, after Kira and Erin successfully negotiated, the two had a conversation that seemed unknown to anyone, but was actually intentionally overheard.
That night, Kira, who happened to get up to drink water, unexpectedly saw Irene and Erza having a quiet mother-daughter conversation on the balcony. Kira didn't want to disturb the atmosphere between them because they didn't want to disturb them.
.
What confused Kira was that the attitude of the two of them getting along was still the same the next day, as if nothing had happened. Kira made many insinuations and probes, but did not ask what exactly they had talked about or how far their relationship had been repaired.
Is there any mother-daughter post…
"I'm so envious! I'm so envious of both of them!"
As if noticing Kira's gaze, Erza felt uncomfortable all over. She frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you these days? You're always talking to yourself like this. What happened?"
"No...nothing..."
Kira waved her hand nonchalantly and turned her gaze back to the bustling street in front of her.
"Everyone, let's move separately so we can go faster. If we find it, we'll send a signal to gather together."
"Can."
"Yeah!"
"Go on an adventure!
"
Kira and others came here naturally because they found out from Eileen the location of Val, who was also a member of the Twelve Shields. Of course, it was only an approximate location, and it was no different from the place Silver found out at the beginning.
But when they were halfway there, Kira suddenly received a message from Silver.
Previously, due to Kira and Silver's cooperation many times, the two of them 'joined forces' to create a communication device similar to a mobile phone to facilitate remote communication. This time they were able to find this place because Silver sent Kira the location.
The location is this mechanical town.
What surprised Kira was that this town, which seemed to be about the same size as Magnolia, was in an almost self-sufficient state. Although it still maintained open communication with the outside world, almost no one went out.
No one will come in. All external stations are basically decorations, and the number of entries and exits in a year may not reach 100.
This is mainly because the machine race does not need to eat like humans - they do not have intestines and stomachs for digestion and absorption - so they do not need to do business with the outside world on food ingredients.
While these people were observing this town curiously, the residents here, those strange mechanical tribesmen, were also observing the Kira people.
Usually the only people living here are the mechanical tribe, but now a few humans have accidentally broken in, just like a few huskies mixed into a wolf pack - they are mechanical tribe, they can sense each other, they can't be wolves or dogs.
Can't tell clearly.
