Carrot, who opened her eyes wide, suddenly burst out laughing. When Adam’s face turned red, he waved his hand and said,
“Ouch! Mi, sorry! But funny! A human friend to an automaton! ha ha ha! It is the most refreshing feeling!”
Adam turned his head and greeted Crank.
“Long time no see. Crank, Carrot seems to be going crazier these days.”
“Never mind that. I get scared sometimes too.”
At that time, the guild leader with a solemn expression stood on the scaffolding and opened his mouth in a slightly louder voice. The adventurers who had been talking about each other stopped talking and focused.
“I will check the attendance list. Please come in order. Only the party leader should come to the party.”
The novice adventurer muttered.
“Check the list?”
“Yeah, since this kind of subjugation battle is where a large number of people form an alliance, I check the list two or three times when departing, arriving, and returning. There are many cases where the number of people was deceived and the request fee was taken away. The party leader goes and checks the party list, and the friends who came personally check their names. quickly!”
The young people who nodded to Carrot’s explanation and torch moved.
Seeing it sideways, the veteran adventurers giggled.
“That’s good, you can leave the chicks to that peanut.”
“Ah, yes. It’s nice to have a babysitter.”
The priest, who was excitedly looking at the real things of experienced adventurers, opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
“Wolpa? There’s a ulpa! If so, Mr. Romani, who is rumored to be middle-aged? Wow! There he is!”
“huh?”
“where?! The real life of Romani, an adventurer of the rank of soldier!!”
Young people who became adventurers turn their heads after hearing the legends of adventurers from a young age. A middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat and an automaton were standing where the adventurers lined up to check the list.
“Oh, Ulpa.”
“Carrot! Do you know Ulpa?”
“No, I don’t know.”
Beginner adventurers were surprised that there were people who didn’t know Argon’s best long-haired Carrot, but Carrot waved his hand at them.
“I tend to sell my name a bit because I’ve been around, but Crank and I are mid-lower ranks. I don’t have a chance to hang out with a super-sized adventurer like that. But it’s a big deal, to think that the combination of Ulpa and Romani is participating in a subjugation like this.”
“Doesn’t Romani come to the subjugation well?”
“Yeah, aren’t they the top rank recognized by the guild? Higher grades differ in what they do. Are you being mobilized for a national-level request or investigation?”
Beginners flocked to Carrot’s kind explanation nodded as if they knew for the first time. Carrot grinned.
“Ugh~! It just went well. Ulpa has such high combat power, but I want to see how the higher ranks fight.”
“Oh oh!”
After checking attendance, the guild leader spoke briefly.
“This subjugation is also carried out by the guards. I decided to give you directions there, so I hope you don’t die and come back alive. There are still mountains of work for you to do.”
After the guild leader’s words, the captain of the guard came up to the platform, explained some instructions, and instructed them to depart.
“The Argon Black Mage Guild Subjugation Team is leaving.”
It’s always a subjugation battle, but this time the opponent was the opponent, so the expressions of the adventurers were quite serious. Everyone got on the assigned wagon and set off for their destination.
While riding the wagon, Carrot was asked to lead the novice adventurers at the request of the guild. Since the survival rate of novice adventurers is a mess, the guild has recently begun to pay attention. And the insole also included Carrot’s Master Crank.
“Wow…!”
“Hee…!”
Sitting between the priestesses and female adventurers looking up at the large body in wonder, Crank, who was busy sewing, cut the thread with tongs, turned the leather gloves around for combat, and held them out to the female fighter sitting next to him.
“It is done.”
“and! thank you!”
“Please look at mine too!”
Crank turned the helmet, looked at the jacket the young man was holding out, and returned it.
“This still looks good. Let’s mend it if it’s torn a little more. There you, brown short-haired, yes. Can you look at that bow for a second?”
Crank, who was sitting on a running wagon, was tending the equipment of novice adventurers.
Crank, who received the bow and pulled the string, took out a tool from the bag on his waist, tightened and reinforced a few places, and returned it.
“That bow has reached the end of its lifespan for combat use. Acquire loot or collect money to turn into a new one.”
“Thank you.”
Crank, who had roughly repaired all of his equipment, looked around for a while, then took out his tools and started talking about anything, perhaps feeling burdened by the young people staring at him.
“This is a leather mending awl. It is used for simple sewing by poking it like this and pushing the string through this hole. They are sold in the market, so buy them and practice them. Simple repairs to equipment can save money by doing it yourself.”
“Did you make that carrot?”
someone suddenly asked Crank said, waving his helmet.
“no. I did general maintenance and modification, I didn’t build it. Carrots were ready-made from the start.”
Krank, who had been silent for a moment, added.
“It is the smallest and cheapest of the automatons for girl-type pets. Sometimes it is also used in normal households.”
“omg! i saw it once! That little automaton!”
Then the voice of Carrot, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, interrupted.
“But I am no longer a pet. It’s a combat automaton worth over 60 million liz.”
“For battle!”
“60 million?!”
When the novice adventurers were amazed, Crank looked at Carrot for a bit and then turned his helmet.
“Carrot wasn’t that good from the start. I reinforced the frame to use it as a porter, and I thought it would be nice to move a little faster, so I increased the high-output motor and artificial muscles, and I thought it would be useful in combat…”
“oh! it started again crank! Wake!”
“ah.”
The technical muscle bucket that had been chattering to himself suddenly stopped and shook his signature bucket helmet. It was so bizarre that some of the adventurers put on tired faces.
The crank was simply cleaned up.
“It ended up like this after fixing them one by one.”
“Well then, if I get an automaton and do the same as you…”
Carrot, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked back.
“Are you rich?”
“yes? Oh no. yet···.”
“Crank smeared over 140 million liz on my body.”
I turned my head to the guard who was driving the carriage.
“140 million?! Isn’t that the level of a single detached house!?”
“Is it true? crank!”
The friendly giant suddenly lowered his head, covering the helmet’s face with his large hands. People thought that he looked somehow cute because his appearance was both gross and desolate.
“I didn’t spend that much money to begin with. Little by little, I bought parts, installed high-end equipment, and destroyed even the perfect parts through trial and error. The original plan was to save money and buy a house.”
Newbie adventurers all looked tired of his unstoppable madness.
“Well, then most of the money earned from the adventure…”
“I blew almost everything except for a few living expenses. If I hadn’t met Carrot, I would have had a normal family.”
The eyes of those who heard his story were shaken in various ways.
“What if I could go back?”
Crank turned his helmet to the priestess. said the goddess.
“If you could go back to that time, what would you do?”
“That’s a good question. If so, I think I can solve the broken parts and work much more neatly through trial and error. It can save you a lot of time and money.”
The dumbfounded people eventually burst into laughter. Crank added.
“Carrot is my greatest masterpiece. 5 years of time and 140 million won is not a waste at all.”
“Ahem!”
Everyone put on happy faces at Carrot’s cute clearing of his cough. As the words came out, questions about automatons continued.
Since the combat automaton is an item that has reached almost the peak of equipment that can be used in the adventurer profession in this world, I took this opportunity to listen to what the pros in that field could tell me in advance.
What about management? what’s the price? operating cost? Crank answered what he knew, and moderated the difficult things.
“Aren’t you recruiting for a party?”
“I don’t.”
“What about bridesmaid recruitment?”
“You will have a better person. Straighten your shoulders.”
A few looked disappointed. Crank pointed to Carrot.
“Instead of not recruiting parties, we are lending carrots to you.”
Carrot, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned around and gave a thumbs up and a wink. It was so cute that the people in the carriage laughed.
Crank, who had been silent for a moment, opened his mouth low.
“And, I have seen too many dead or crippled people. If it’s hard, I hope you give up anytime and save your life. No one is to blame.”
Ahead of the battle with the black mages, they all became solemn after recognizing the reality. Carrot sensed the strange atmosphere and shouted out loud.
“ah! Why are you talking like that and killing the kids!”
“No, I just…! From the heart…!”
“don’t worry! friends! It’s not like I can’t eat it if I just handle the easy quests. If you make a lot of money later and buy expensive equipment, you think this is worth doing?”
Carrot sat back and said.
“Crank worked like that. I never ventured beyond my level. If I had no income at all, I would go to the lord’s farm and work. From the beginning, automatons like me and Ulpa won’t be with you. So let’s beat the black mage and make sure we get our share! That’s why you got on this carriage!”
“Oooh!”
The youth were energized again. Crank realized his mistake as he scratched his pitch.
“By the way, what does Crank eat to get big? muscle. As a man like him, I’m a bit envious.”
Red madness dwells in the eyes in the bucket. Crank said, thrusting his helmet at the young man.
“If you eat a lot of meat and exercise regularly, you will become like me. It takes a lot of muscle anyway to wield a heavy iron sword.”
“Ah, with our circumstances, meat for every meal is a bit…”
Crank pushed the pitch closer.
“You know what? Troll meat is pretty tasty. Orc meat too.”
“Huh! do you eat it?”
“In the southern regions, when you catch a monster, you eat the meat. So all the Southerners are tall.”
From noble mtl dot com
When the crank lifted the arm, the leather jacket swelled up like it was about to explode.
Carrot in the driver’s seat put on a pitiful expression saying that he was starting again, but he didn’t stop until that muscular chant.
Crank’s muscle song continued until they reached the first camp. Then, when he was preparing for camp, he beat an orc from somewhere, explained the vital points, skinned it, cut the meat, and started grilling it.
“Oh, it’s delicious!”
“Ugh! That, but how can I do this…!”
“It’s easy to think of it as a bipedal pig. Anyway, I won’t force you.”
“Mum yum yum!”
“salt! Give me someone with salt!”
Carrot, who was helping to grill the meat, opened her mouth after seeing female adventurers with tired faces nearby.
“ah! Come to think of it, when women eat well, their breasts get bigger.”
“What?! Is that true?! Do you have any research reports or papers?”
Molly, who came late to say hello, accidentally heard the words and lit up her eyes.
“I don’t know about that, but all the Southern women I saw in the frontier towns had really big breasts.”
“really!? It’s not like you can’t eat orc meat, right?! crank!”
Crank’s helmet, which was slicing orc meat like a butcher’s, was lifted.
“Can I get you some dinner!”
“Of course, you are always welcome.”
Unknowingly, Crank took off his jacket, revealing his massive muscles, and started grilling orc meat in earnest on the hot rocks, wearing only a leather apron he wore while working.
Chee Hee Hee!!
“Carrot, we are running out of spices. I saw mint growing on the hillside over there. Pick me up.”
“okay!”
Carrot, who ran and picked a handful of mint leaves, was delighted to see that there were many customers before she knew it.
“wow! sells well! ha ha ha! Can I open a shop?!”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
But there were definitely people who didn’t like it.
“… such savages!”
“But the meat smells amazing.”
“hey! Where!”
“To get some pork, I heard earlier that the reason Southern sailors are so big is because they ate monster meat. Crank My friend’s body is the same, and I want to grow a little too.”
“No, but how can you get orc meat…!”
The man in front of him looked back with ferocious eyes.
“Orcs eat us too, so what can we not eat them?”
As one orc quickly ran out, the remaining adventurers gathered their equipment and began to rummage through the nearby forest. And at the forefront was Crank, the muscular road guide and at the same time the Orc Butcher.
