After speaking, Jiaren turned around and stepped back, and the people of the Trogen Expedition made desperate expressions.

When all the people left with the hard-skinned automatons withdrew, fearing that they would hit the back, Jiaren said to Green.
“Green, let’s go see the Trogen guild leader with me after the expedition. In the meantime, we are your number one target of protection.”
“All right. thank you.”
Jia Ren looked at Green and made a happy expression.
“uh? Captain, are you sick again?”
When one of the adventurers spoke, Jiaren shouted with excitement unlike usual.
“There are a lot of blonde automatons, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen such well-decorated automatons. Doesn’t something elegant come out of that mask that looks like it was made at random, but it blends with the blonde hair? Ahh! Crank this bad guy! This man’s work excites me!”
“Ah, you’re usually fine, but I don’t know why you’re like that when I see the automaton.”
“Didn’t you all play with dolls when you were little? It is an extension of that.”
“Does your daughter know that your mother does this?”
“cancer! of course! What does my daughter like too?”
While Jiaren was exchanging jokes with the adventurers under his command, Green took off what was attached to his ear.
It was a wiretapping device that Jiaren had attached.
The expedition team, which climbed the mountain path toward the dragon rare, found something unexpected.
“What is that?”
Ghetto rubbed his eyes as he stared at the aerial battleship anchored between the mountains.
“wow! The boat is floating in the sky!”
At Carrot’s words, the ghetto brought down into reality frowned and looked back.
“Let’s hurry!”
When the expedition accelerated and arrived at the destination, tents were set up all over the dragon lair and elves were wandering around, and they were surprised to see people who suddenly appeared and called for support.
“What is this? Who are they?”
Maine Coon’s Mori Expedition leader looked around and walked out. Ghetto shook his head.
“I do not know. Why are elves here… ah! no way!”
“There were quite a few elves among the rescued adventurers. Someone must have contacted them.”
Harrison stood next to the moaning ghetto.
Mori, frowning, armed herself and stepped out in front of the crowd of elven warriors.
“Who’s in charge here…”
“I’m here! Reinforcements are here! To save us!”
Where the members of the expedition, including Mori, turned their heads, a group of men were sitting on the floor tied up and showing a welcome look.
Ghetto, Maury and Harrison frowned.
“Oh, it must be the Trogen Expedition that went up first?”
As Carrot drew closer to them, the elf woman standing guard thrust her spear into the air and shouted.
“Human girl, I don’t want to hurt you. Back off!”
After looking down at the glittering spear blade, Carrot raised her head and looked up at the tall elf woman with a big smile.
“crank! See me as a human girl! Is this a compliment?”
Everyone’s eyes moved to the giant who was much taller than the party. Crank, a little shy, answered.
“Does it feel good to hear it?”
“huh!”
“Then it’s a compliment.”
Carrot liked it. The elf woman, who didn’t know what to do, gave a surprised expression.
“Soft skin?”
“is it so. Elf sister, I am an automaton. But why did you keep them?”
“Because they attacked us.”
An elf man who seemed to be in charge walked out.
Mori asked with her arms crossed.
“We are the Dragon Rare Expedition from Maine Coon, Trail, and Argon. Who are you?”
“I am Philim, the elder of the Black Pine Tower. We came to research Kaizania’s rare.”
Hearing the word Black Pine Tower, some people were agitated.
“What is the Black Pine Tower?”
“It’s like the elves’ wizard guild.”
Harrison asked.
“This is Harrison, the leader of the Argon Expedition. Handsome elf man, do you think we have the property rights to search for dragon rares and relics?”
“Property of artifacts? You speak noblely of robbing an empty house without an owner.”
Harrison snorted slightly. The ghetto intervened.
“Excuse me, but this is a place that the adventurers from the four city guilds searched for and found. And Kaizania is already dead. Wouldn’t you mind if the vacant house robber mentioned property rights? After all, you are in the same position.”
“I can’t help but admit it. But I will decline joint exploration and research. We got ahead here. take them and go away Otherwise···.”
As Philim raised his hand, the elven warriors armed with bows and swords widened their eyes. At the same time, guns were moved and aimed at the aerial battleships floating overhead.
“Wow, here are your people, can I say that?”
As little Carrot walked over and said, Philim lowered his gaze.
“Is it an automaton? Well made.”
“thank you. Elder Philim. But are you guys not feeling well? Does this man consider you enemies too?”
Turning his head, Carrot saw the elves included in the expedition. One of them looked at each other for a while.
“Although they are of the same race, their paths can change as much as they like in front of each other’s ideals and greed!”
“That’s why we don’t disappoint and resent each other. Are humans hard to understand?”
Carrot, who had been staring at them with his mouth open, turned his head to find Filim with a solemn expression.
“Are you feeling well?”
“I am very glad that I am riding the bandwagon of humans, but the spirit of my people is not dead. I do not wish to exclude you from attempting to engage in dialogue with your own people. So go away.”
When Maury tried to intervene, Harrison stopped him. Then he gestured towards Carrot. It was a gesture and expression asking me to try more.
Carrot raised two fists on her thin waist, looked at the elder and the elven combatants ready to attack, and turned to look at the people standing behind them.
“What a relief.”
“What do you mean?”
“We are at eye level now.”
Philim, who was looking down at Carrot far below, raised his eyebrows, but Carrot called his name resoundingly.
“Echo, Cream, Hendrick, Bass, Lon Lone, Sight, Torga, Mendra, Jen, Kiri, Spree, Ray, K.”
thud···! thud···!
The hard-skinned automatons called out began to step forward. Carrot continued to search through her pockets.
“Boss, Meiri, Mai, Sten, High Bar, PC, Candy, Gender, Cutter, Badel…”
He took out a signal flare and directed it toward the sky, and when he pulled the string hard, a red light orb soared into the sky with an explosion.
phut-!!!!
Carrot lowered her head as she saw a red orb rising from the sky.
“13 hard-skinned automatons, 20 well-maintained automatons including me, and about 120 adventurers per day.”
Clap! click! Sureureung! Sreung!
Mori, realizing Carrot’s intentions, beckoned, and the adventurers raised their bows and automatic crossbows and drew their swords. The ghetto quickly began distributing troops left and right.
As the response of the human adventurers was unusual, Film’s face grew darker and darker.
Looking up at him, Carrot said.
“The request is simple. I won’t ask you to give it all away, let us join you. We just want to take our share.”
“Do you want blood after all?”
Sreureung!! Clap-!
Hardskin automatons drew great swords and axes. Elf warriors swallow saliva while looking at the weapon for intercepting the monster.
“It doesn’t matter if you fire the famous magic cannon of the aerial battleship that the elves are proud of, the automaton that survived the loss of its owner will attack you as well as that aerial battleship. We don’t stop until the moment it stops working.”
After taking a deep breath, Carrot blinked and held out her hand first.
“So why don’t we get along?”
Everyone looked carefully at Carrot, who was threatening him, and the Elf elder, Philim, who was at a crossroads of choice.
Filim let out a long sigh and turned around.
“Tell me more about the details. Let the person in charge come this way.”
The sighs of the people who were relieved in an instant came from both sides. Harrison passed Carrot and stroked her hair.
“Good job. peanut.”
“Yes, please praise me.”
Mori also left a word and moved on. Everyone was lavishing their praises. The elven warriors, who had been forced to avoid the fight, also took notice of the carrots and automatons.
1 hour later
Jiaren, who jumped up the mountain after seeing the rescue signal, bowed down and vomited as soon as he arrived.
“Ohhh…!”
Roughly wiping her mouth with her sleeve, she raised her head with sad eyes.
“Come on, figure out the situation! Prepare for battle!”
When Green, who was looking around, saw the captive adventurers and pulled out his sword, an acquaintance ran to stop him. It was the glass of the Molly Wizards.
“hey! stop! green! don’t do it!”
“glass?”
“okay! We’re just negotiating right now! Can’t wait! others too! The situation is over! We are negotiating! Stop fighting!”
Those who had covered the three-hour mountain trail in one hour fell to the ground and gasped for breath as soon as they heard Yuri’s words.
“What, what happened…?”
Jiaren, who simply heard the story, was guided to the tent being negotiated with Green’s support.
“oh! Leader Jiaren! green!”
“…everyone is here. Who fired the flare?”
“Me!”
When Carrot raised her hand, Jiaren’s eyebrows twitched, but she wasn’t angry because she had heard the story.
She asked as she sat down exhausted.
“So what is the situation?”
“It’s almost over.”
Those were the words of Mori with her arms crossed. Philim, who was drinking tea, continued.
“As I said earlier, we want to research and explore the space inside that door. Didn’t you say that your purpose was dragon by-products and bronze doors? You want a role as a portal gate?”
“exactly.”
“Do whatever you like.”
“Unlike before, you kindly allow it?”
Filmim, who put down the teacup at Mori’s point, spoke.
“Because pushing and pulling is enough. And we will take one of the bronze doors.”
The expedition team who looked at each other asked again.
“How many are there?”
Philim smiled for the first time and said.
“five things. That’s fine. Wouldn’t it be fine if the five powers split one by one?”
“Five Forces? Ah, the trail.”
Maury sighed.
“Trail has been around for a while, so there’s nothing we can do about it. I apologize for their behavior.”
Philim responded with a grin and turned to see Carrot preparing tea.
“Whose automaton is this?”
“Crank, there’s a big guy. With a helmet on his head.”
“Carrot, did you learn how to make tea from the owner?”
Carrot, who was offering a teacup to Jiaren, who came later, held the teapot and saw him.
“no. There’s an adventurer I’ve been with a few times while working with the master. This person always drank tea after meals morning and evening.”
People move by eating. That’s why I like what I get and I’m grateful for what I eat. Imagine that you wake up in the morning and the automaton that has been by your side all night brews and serves you tea. Ordinary people would appreciate the favor.
After hearing the story, Filim nodded. And he got up
“You free the captured adventurers. Search as you please, but do not interfere with us.”
Among the expedition leaders who stood up, Harrison grabbed his hand and shook it.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“It is not strictly a collaboration. It’s just that we don’t want to interfere with each other.”
