Crank complained as he walked through the desert on a dark and moonlit night.
“I guess I should have stolen that scorpion.”
“and-! crank! Look at that.”
Carrot, who was walking ahead, pointed to the quiet desert bathed in bluish moonlight. For some reason, a curtain of light dyed in green and blue is seen waving in the sky above it.
“What is that? Aurora?”
The desert on the horizon and the aurora in the sky harmonized, creating a very dreamy appearance, but Crank turned his head away.
“Now is not the time to enjoy that.”
“and! cool! My first time seeing Aurora! You’re on an adventure to see something like this!”
Carrot, who was looking up at the sky with his arms outstretched from the dune of the mountain hut, was thrilled by the beautiful natural phenomenon, ignoring his master, who was in trouble because his feet were drowning in the sand.
“crank! thank you for bringing me to this place And thank you again, for ordering me to read the knowledge. If I hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have known what that was.”
Carrot, who has turned around, smiles and speaks with the aurora in the background. Crank, who was pulling his leg out of the sinking sand, looked at Carrot and shook his pitch.
“I only made a suggestion, the rest is your efforts. And I’m not here for sightseeing, so get me out of here.”
“hehehehe! It’s a feeling, a feeling!”
Carrot grabbed Crank’s hand and pulled him.
As they walked through the desert, walking ahead and behind, the mountain ranges that had been visible in Asrai came into view nearby.
“What is that?”
Carrot, her red eyes wide open, noticed a group of lights coming and going under the mountain on the other side of the darkness. At the side, Crank also took out a telescope and looked at it, then frowned at the forehead inside the helmet.
“They are soldiers. Looks like there are more than just those guys. This is obviously my mistake. From now on, let’s treat them as missing persons.”
“What will they do?”
Crank pulled a quadruple-mana engine from his backpack.
“Let’s test this to see if it really explodes.”
chuang chuang chuang!
“Ahhh!”
Carrot, who ran like a shotgun through the sandy desert, made fun of the soldiers.
puck puck!
“Kya! This taste!”
The soldiers were taken aback by the appearance of an unidentified kid wielding a bat almost flying in the dark. However, as more victims passed out after being hit in the head, the soldiers showed their teeth, shouted something, and started firing their rifles.
“Denan Kael! Maka!”
“Jeran!”
bang-! bang!
Pak! puck!
When the sand to the left and right bounced up, Carrot hesitated. The crowd of soldiers with rifles on their shoulders shouted in unintelligible words, but Carrot, with a bat slung over his shoulder, just stared at it with an arrogant expression.
Carrot shifted her gaze slightly to the side, lowered the bat again, leaned forward, and began to laugh.
“How do you love because you are afraid of parting?”
Wow!
bang-!
Carrot runs. Dodging the line of sight of the gun, Carrot jumped among the soldiers and started a rampage. They were armed with firearms that could penetrate the armor of automatons, but the fact that they could shoot their allies in close combat caught them off guard.
Sureureung!
Those who were quick-witted abandoned their guns and drew swords, but it was not easy to deal with the fast automaton with poor sword skills in the desert with poor landing.
“Ahh!?”
puck puck!
Moreover, it was a daunting opponent to wield a sword because of its small size.
“ah! Aww! Bane! She Bane!”
“Muraka! Bane!”
Eventually, soldiers began to appear and run away, shouting that they were monsters.
“Wah ha ha ha! Come on! Grab a knife and attack!”
Puck puck puck!
I put my foot on the chest of the fallen soldier and laughed terribly and hit it with a bat when a loud gunshot reverberated into the aurora-draped sky.
Taaang-!
“What a hundred!?”
Carrot, who was holding her chest, fell forward. From a distance, a high-ranking officer with a nonchalant face approached, switching rifles.
“Idiots, I’m sorry, what is this?”
“Dangerous! That guy is Automata.”
“Automata? Is Liznet’s technology advanced enough to make the automata look human? amazing But why is it so small?”
“If you bring a doll weapon along with the technicians and present it to the prince, he will be happy.”
The man with the rifle frowned and turned his head.
“Duran, be careful with your words, now he is the King of Cyphers.”
“Huh! It was. I will be careful.”
The man who changed his expression was a commander who had been robbed after entering a pioneer village the other day. His superior nodded and looked at the cave.
“How many hours have you been in?”
“Two hours have passed. If there were no incidents, it would have been half way in.”
While listening to the story, the man leaned over and grabbed the fallen Carrot by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.
“I heard that it is a mechanical doll, but it is lighter than I thought… … ?”
Flash-!
Carrot, who was dangling, opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her.
“hi? Aren’t the northern lights a wonderful night?”
“Euhhhhh?!”
The man threw down the carrot and quickly grabbed his rifle. Soldiers also opened fire.
bang-! bang bang!
Puck puck puck-! Sand burst from all sides, but they couldn’t hit Carrot, who started running on all fours as soon as he hit the floor. Carrot, who transformed into a desert hamster due to poor landing due to the sand, started running wildly between the soldiers.
“Keungkehehehe!”
Frightened soldiers tried shooting and throwing things, but to no avail.
“Kyahahahahaha! Fools! hi!”
Arriving in front of the Gearco Cave, Carrot stood up. In front of them was a mess of fallen soldiers and scattered furniture.
Carrot exclaimed excitedly as she spread her arms and looked up at the sky.
“hi-! Aurora! Gonna miss you!”
After greeting the aurora waving in the night sky, Carrot hid herself in the darkness of the cave. Seeing that, the enraged commanders began to chase after the soldiers.
“hahahahaha! it’s okay! I got caught!”
Carrot laughed, running again on her two legs. It wasn’t long before Carrot raised her arms and cheered when she found Crank sneaking into the cave while keeping the soldiers’ eyes on her.
“Crank that-!”
Carrot jumped up and clung to Crank’s backpack as he ran. But he didn’t stop running, like a morning jog, just making a whooping noise.
Two hours to do so, they reached almost the middle part of the mountain. On the way, he encountered a group of resting soldiers, but ignored them and ran. Rather, the soldiers were busy screaming and making a fuss when they saw him walking past in the dark wearing a helmet.
“About this?”
From noble mtl dot com
“What are you looking for? If you don’t hurry, you will catch up.”
Crank, who stopped running and started walking around to catch his breath, found a pit and pile of dirt that he had dug beforehand when he passed this place during the day.
He put a modified quadruple mana engine in it and pushed a mound of dirt over it.
Carrot cheered.
“Oh-! smart! Be careful! All ready!”
“We need time to think about each other. Let’s earn it.”
Carrot asked, looking at the crank with a thumbs up.
“Would Uncle Gustav be angry?”
“Does not matter. You can’t just leave these insecurities unattended. It’s an oyster. It’s enough to dig it up again.”
After drinking the health potion, Crank threw the empty bottle away and started running faster.
“The timer worked. We need to get out of here quickly. Hook hook!”
“ok? Isn’t that a remote detonation with a scroll? How long will it take?”
“Hook hook! Time and materials were scarce. hook hook! To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it through the hour. Hook hook!”
Carrot, who was running beside him, opened his ax eye.
“Ah! you stupid!”
“Let’s finish the last routine of the day with intense aerobic exercise.”
When a muscle-training enthusiast meets a technology gongdori, the idea of supplementing the insufficient detonation time of the bomb with physical strength comes to mind. Crank only… … .
Carrot, frightened by his remarks that doubted his sanity, took the lead and started running.
“Run, run! I’ll be your trailblazer! Notebook, give it to me!”
After receiving the notebook from Crank, Carrot checked the location and ran to the fork in the road, waited for him, and guided the way.
Exactly an hour later, the two of them managed to escape from the cave, although they had a little trouble finding the entrance that the villagers had blocked off with dirt.
“Eight! Eight! It’s built strong!”
puck puck!
Carrot broke the blockage with an ax and pulled out, and when Carrot broke the entrance a little bigger, the crank came out through the gap. Crank walked out slowly, almost like a zombie, and collapsed in front of a tree some distance from the cave, catching his breath.
“Huh! omg! hook!”
Carrot, who had been standing beside him looking up at the mountain, looked at Crank, who was on the floor gasping for breath.
“It won’t explode… … ?”
Qurrr! Rumble-!
An earthquake occurred.
It was such an earthquake that Carrot, who couldn’t keep his balance, took a picture of his butt. The ground trembled, the mountains trembled, and even the birds that stayed up all night in their nests flew up.
“Wow?!”
Surprised by the earthquake, Carrot raised her head and saw with her own eyes that under the night sky beyond, one of the peaks of the mountain range that had risen like a saw blade was going down.
Kururureung… !
Whoopahah-! Push Yi Yi!
After that, a strong dust wind blew from the cave and the surrounding rock crevices along with the ground shaking for a long time, and then gradually died down.
“Oh wow… … !”
Carrot, who was gaping in surprise with her buttocks on the floor, leaned her head on the back of Crank, who was still breathing. It was a bewildered voice.
“Hey Crank, the mountain is down. We’ve already knocked down the mountain.”
Crank, who was lying on the floor, giggled.
“Khehehe! Gustav-san must be angry.”
“Are you laughing! I almost fainted!”
Carrot, who became a bit nervous about matters related to his master’s life, slapped him on the back with an axe.
slam!
* * *
Because of an earthquake that occurred in the middle of the night, Venus, who came to check the situation, found them. In the village, people surprised by the previous raid hurriedly built defenses and welcomed them back.
The adventurers and people who heard the story were startled.
“Takes down mountains?!”
“huh!”
Carrot smiled and pointed at the mountains under the night sky. It really looked like the saw blade was missing a tooth.
Seeing that, everyone let out a low groan.
An exhausted Crank lay on the floor, breathing heavily, confidently holding his thumbs up.
The adventurers and villagers, who simply heard about the forces on the other side of the mountain from Carrot, praised the two men for collapsing the mountain and blocking the cave.
Aple, who was still bandaged, said.
“It went better! There will be no more stabbing in the back.”
“We think so too.”
“hmm! good job! I bought time to build a thicker wall!”
However, Gustav, who arrived two days later, did not praise him.
Having learned about the history of the tunnel through the mountain range, he opened his eyes wide and turned his head as soon as he heard the story.
The Toothless Sawtooth Mountains were more clearly visible in the daytime.
