Chapter 245: The robot signal is not good, so use three-way handshake to connect the communication
While everyone was resting, Jellal walked up to Kira and asked, "Did you find anything?"
At this time, Kira was sitting beside the lake with his eyes closed. He looked sleepy, but in fact he was exploring the situation at the bottom of the lake.
Hearing Gerard's question, he withdrew his magic perception from the bottom of the lake, shook his head and replied: "No! Magic can't reach the bottom. It seems that something is blocking my perception. Is the research institute built at the bottom of the lake? It shouldn't be possible..."
The two were silent for a moment, and Jellal suddenly said, "Kira, why did you take me with you?"
"Hmm? What?"
Kira was stunned for a moment before he realized that Jellal was asking why he took him away from the White Forest.
"What's the reason? Shouldn't you be punished for what happened in the past?"
This time it was Jellal's turn to be stunned. "I thought that because of Erza's matter, you would want to send me to the Council's prison..."
"Ah, I did think so, but then I thought, there is no point in sending you to that kind of place. The president said that it is our duty to lead those who have fallen into darkness back to the right path. Since you have a repentant heart, we can't let you sit in prison for the rest of your life, otherwise how can you make up for your sins?"
Jellal didn't know what Markrov said exactly. When he heard Kira say that, he thought the "we" in his words referred to Fairy Tail, so he nodded silently.
Seeing that the other party was lost in thought, Kira stood up and said, "Anyway, after you earn money for me... ah, no, after you pay for your sins under my hands, you can go to the Council to sit in jail or whatever. You have been in darkness for 7 years, so use 7 years to make up for it!"
After hearing these words, Jellal felt more in favor of Kira.
What Kira said was exactly the same as what he thought. Jellal now felt that the other party was his soulmate and didn't even care about the fact that Kira had cheated him so many times in the past.
Just as Jellal was about to formally thank Kira for giving him the opportunity to atone for his past sins, there was a sudden rustling noise around him.
Several people immediately became alert: "What's wrong?!"
This time they came here to do evil... to enforce justice, and their intentions were not good from the beginning. As a result, they first exposed their whereabouts, and then found that they could not find the target. Now suddenly something like this happened, and they immediately prepared for battle.
"Eric?"
An Ye glanced at his companion, only to see that he was holding his pet snake with a serious look in his eyes.
"Be careful! There are a lot of them, and... they are not human!"
Others would think that things would get tricky, but An Ye remained calm and even almost laughed out loud: What? Not a human? Great!
The opponent is not a human, or in other words, not a living being. He has no thoughts when attacking and is not afraid of poison, so if a fight really comes, Eric will not have the upper hand; the same goes for the somatosensory deceleration magic used by Sawyer, which acts on the human body. He is at a disadvantage when attacking a non-human opponent and cannot increase his speed; as for Sorono... now she can't beat any slightly stronger opponent.
But Dark Night is different. His distortion magic can distort and destroy things, but its biggest weakness is that it is ineffective against living things. Although it is difficult for even human opponents to defeat him, he always feels more at ease since the one coming now is not a human.
Thinking of this, An Ye couldn't help but glance at Kira, the man who had just defeated him yesterday, and thought to himself: Besides, not everyone is as strong as him.
Just as they were on high alert, a group of half-human-sized robotic figures suddenly jumped out of the forest.
"robot?"
"Magic technology?"
"Mechanical creation?"
The three exclamations represent three different levels of vision.
Eric and his companions are on the first level. They are the kind of people who know nothing, but they are semi-illiterate after all, and their knowledge in this area is limited, so we can't blame them.
Urrutia and Jellal were on the second floor. They had more knowledge, so they quickly thought of things like the Stella Kingdom's magic soldiers and various products that combined magic and technology.
Kira is on the third floor. He knows that no matter how the technology in this world develops, magic still has the final say.
From the metal ball just now, we can tell that there is a wizard with full technology here, so the robot that appears in front of us now must also be his work.
Thinking of this, Kira straightened his clothes and walked forward, intending to have a negotiation.
As the others waited eagerly, Kira waved to the leading robot and said, "Moshimoshi... We are a team of adventurers who have come here to explore. Are you a resident here?"
“…”
The air was a little awkward for a moment.
Kira took two more steps forward, looked around in confusion, and finally touched his chin and muttered, "Is the signal here bad? Or is the machine malfunctioning?"
"Hey...Kira! Be careful!"
Kira heard Urrutia's voice from behind, and without turning his head, he gave a full-hearted reply : "Don't worry! I know a little about this too!"
"Oh, right! Since we are going to connect and communicate, we should do a three-way handshake!"
Thinking of this, Kira grabbed the robot's hand and shook it three times. Then he heard a few murmurs behind him: "What is this idiot doing? How can that method work!"
However, what they didn't expect was that the robot in Kira's hand actually spoke: "Wizard, leave this valley immediately!"
Everyone's eyes changed and they exclaimed in unison: "It actually works??!!"
Kira felt a little regretful: "You're telling me to leave as soon as you open your mouth..."
Everyone: "Hey, hey... this isn't the point! The point is why that stupid method actually works?!"
Kira looked at them in confusion and said, "Isn't this normal? Three-way handshake communication! Oh, sorry! I forgot you haven't learned this. The so-called 'three-way handshake communication' is..."
Just when Kira wanted to explain the details to the others, the leading robot spoke again: "Wizard, leave this valley immediately!"
The identical words and emotionless voices meant that they were not intentionally communicating.
"It doesn't seem to be an intelligent robot, but just an ordinary soldier!" Gerard speculated, "It seems that it is set to activate when it detects an enemy."
"If that's the case, then it's not a 'three-way handshake communication' at all!" Eric laughed and joked to the people around him, "Hey, what should we do? The new boss has embarrassed himself. According to the 'rule of workplace survival: never see the boss embarrassed', should we pretend that we didn't see it now? Hehe..."
He spoke very loudly.
Kong Nai, Sawyer and others laughed secretly when they heard this.
They also laughed very loudly.
Kira: Write it down in your little notebook!
Urrutia guessed, "Could they be the guards here ?"
Kira shook his head and said, "I didn't see any signs of 'this place is guarded' from Brian's memory. There are no surveillance metal balls buried in the trees, and there are no towering trees like this."
Gerard understood what was going on. "You mean, the changes here have only happened in the past seven years? Sure enough, the growth rate of these trees is unusual!"
"I'm more curious about the person hiding here!" Kira laughed, "If the owner of this place hasn't changed, then we can come here, so we could be his potential customers. How can a businessman chase his customers away?"
“Maybe they have a special way of identifying it?”
"Well... I think as long as we make a big fuss and follow these mechanical soldiers to their door, we should be able to find out!"
Urrutia smiled brightly: "That's the Fairy Tail way of thinking!"
Thinking of the various "bad deeds" about Fairy Tail that he heard every day when he was in the Council, Jellal couldn't help but chuckle.
While the few people were talking, the mechanical soldiers seemed to realize that the intruders had no intention of leaving and went straight into combat mode.
"Change of order! Drive the intruders out! Drive them out!!"
