Chapter 1380: Felicia Meets The Robotians
The "machine people" as Felicia called them were named Robotians now and were one of the two races that inhabited my dungeon. Apparently they counted as part of the main
civilization, despite being completely separate beings from the Arboren and even living in a huge floating island.
"So you're machine lifeforms, huh? I had never seen your kind before!" Master said. "Can I please touch you and see your insides?"
"GEH?"
The Robotians quickly gave a step back as they heard master's words. She sucked at first introductions as always, starting off by telling them that was bound to creep out even the usually chill Robotians!
"I'm so sorry, she's a bit weird!" I apologized to them. "She didn't mean it in a weird or creepy way. She's actually a very good alchemist and stuff, so she wants to learn about how you guys live and stuff, to learn... Err, to learn better?"
"Actually! My study of golems had stagnated a lot ever since I analyzed the last god golems I found in an old ruin," she explained. "Although I learned from them, I wasn't completely able to discern their greatest secrets due to their immense amount of decay. You people, Robotians, right? Are quite intriguing! Were you made by the gods as well?"
"We... were. Long ago. Dropped off. Little memories. Remain. Erased to maintain. Current memories. Apologize."
Wait! So they do remember being dropped here by the gods?!
But they deleted memories to... well, that makes sense.
"Some of us. News. We made them from scratch. Children. Don't know about. Gods." Chief explained to Felicia. "We live. We build. We like to experiment too. Alchemy. Interesting. We want to learn about it. To learn how to harness. Magical powers. We don't have."
Suddenly, he pointed at the airships they constructed. Which, mind you, they made without me even giving them a hint or a blueprint about how to make them.
I only had enchanted a lot of their equipment, electric cores, and so on using Divine Thunder Armament Creation, and the rest was all made by them and their amazing construction abilities.
They want to learn about alchemy and magical engineering so they can improve their craft and create even more amazing things.
Even the newly created Robotians have this same love for creation. It seems deeply ingrained into their circuits or whatever. These people simply love to make things and produce.
Perhaps they were originally made for that purpose by the gods, to produce items and create things, I would guess this was the reason they were created.
Maybe the gods required to create many things, to supervise their manufacturing and so on, so these specialized, smaller robots were created, capable of quickly learning and with an ingrained love for it.
Which also makes them amazing manufacturers of things, I should really get them to make me some stronger stuff, perhaps...
A whole mechanical suit for me and...
Wait a second, that's it!
Maybe I can overcome the weakness of the Arboren not through just teaching them how to get magic circles and using spells.
Because these plant people seem somehow unable to create physiques, then the next best thing is to let them wield amazing items.
If we can combine the power of the Robotians manufacturing with the Arboren attunement over magic, maybe something amazing could be created.
Giant golem suits powered by magic piloted by Arboren's using their own Mana to power them up, or something like portable mini cannons that shoot beams of destructive power.
I think Alice called those "guns" or something.
"I see! I see how it is, aren't you interesting?" wondered Felicia. "I can teach you alchemy all you want! As long as you can let me analyze your internal structure and see how you work, it would be nice... I guess I can't dismantle you, but at least let me see?"
"Hm. Well, it seems that you're quite. Acquainted with Sylphy. Our savior Sylphy is very nice. And protective. She loves us. So we must love her back and help her. Helping her friends. Also counts. So we will help. And in return, we learn better alchemy. Yes?"
"Yes, yes!" Felicia nodded happier than ever before.
"Felicia here is my master," I explained to them. "So there's nobody else in the world that knows more alchemy than her currently. You'll be in good hands... I hope."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
I glared at my master for a bit, she smiled gently, although she felt a bit nervous due to my stare.
"Right?"
"Y-Yes Sylphy, don't look at me like that... I won't do anything to them! Sheesh, I did promise I wouldn't do anything to them, don't you trust me?"
"I really don't sometimes, so that's why I'm insisting... But I am willing to forgive you,
master. After all you've shown you're not all your first impression was."
"Hahhh... my first impressions are sure terrible, huh? Oh! My dear disciples."
She looked at Celeste and Celica walking to us.
"So these are those robot people you rescued the other day, right?" Wondered Celeste. "Was
it last year?"
"Yeah!" I nodded. "Robotians! This is the chief."
"Nice to. Meet you. Friends of Sylphy, our savior."
"Y-Yeah, nice to meet... you," Celeste didn't seem to like them that much.
"Woow! So they're like golem people?" wondered Celica. "Now that I've begun to evolve my alchemy and my golem magic, I would love to learn more about them and from them! Sylphy, can I spend some time with them?"
"Sure, I mean, do whatever you want, Celica," I smiled with a nod. "And- Oh."
"Sylphy!"
My father called from afar.
"Come eat! Dinner's ready!"
Dad was making dinner behind the church and the giant tree, mostly roasting the meat he had hunted before this whole incident happened.
Selene and Ivy were with him, and so a lot of other Arboren, who fancied eating meat more than anybody would expect plant people to do.
"Ah, sure!"
We ran towards the small little celebratory feast, there was a lot of meat and other dishes dad
prepared to lift our spirits.
I just wish Bark was here to enjoy with us, I remember he really liked eating meat.
Rest in peace, my dear knight...
