The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Outside the mechanical town, a magnificent mechanical castle stands on the vast wilderness.

High up in the castle, a man with loose boron hair, an iron nail on his chin, and an orange tights was looking at the battle taking place in the mechanical town with a telescope in his hand.

"It is indeed a 'Fairy Tail'! So many 'weakness special effects soldiers' were sent out together and failed to capture it. It seems that Ishgar's magicians are not as weak as I thought!"

Val Icht, the mechanical alchemist who serves as the Twelve Shields Protector of the Albarez Empire, laughed arrogantly after seeing that all his vanguard troops were defeated.

"I would like to remind you, don't underestimate them! Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss!"

A figure walked up from behind Val. It was Silver who Kira and others were looking for. "They should be able to find this place soon!"

"Find this place? Let's wait until they defeat all my men!"

"Didn't your weak special effects soldier miss the mark?"

Val smiled contemptuously: "Don't we still have those new guys?!"

A ferocious smile appeared on the metal face.

A month ago, Silver finally found Val after a long journey.

Both of them are geniuses of the mechanical race. Although they have never met before, according to the template of the most popular light novels, this kind of genius should belong to the category of "long-lasting friendship" and "sympathizing with each other". Even if they meet for the first time, they can be regarded as old friends. It's just acquaintance.

The facts developed as the plot of the story did. As soon as Silver and Val met, they started an almost 'life or death' communication mode.

This is a very common technique in novels and comics, that is, the protagonist will definitely meet a male protagonist who is similar to him. In the early stage, he is an opponent and enemy, and in the later stage, he becomes a comrade-in-arms. For example, Naruto and Sasuke, Ichito and Ishida, Son Goku and Vegeta, and even the native world, there are Natsu and Gajeel.

Although this technique is old-fashioned, it is very real because this is the Fairy Tail world.

Val's alchemy 'mechanical alchemy' can turn metal into magic weapons; Silver's magic 'mechanical writing' can implant magical programs into magic weapons. The abilities of the two can be said to complement each other. The Doctor and the Hermit in "Eden" next door.

After a friendly exchange, they did not continue to love and kill each other, but chose to shake hands and make peace and seek common development.

"We are all members of the mechanical race, and our ancestors are the same family. What is there to do with each other? Continuing to fight will only make humans laugh at our lack of unity. You don't want to hear, 'It's just a mechanical race with such a small population, but they are fighting back and forth.'" Is that what you’re talking about?”

With this idea in mind, they began to cooperate: one to refine weapons and one to implant a program. In just one month, they created many smart guns, cannons, snipers, bombs and other weapons that are extremely destructive and can fight on their own.

In their imagination, these weapons will usher in a new era! They will shine in future wars, thereby proving their abilities and showing the world the power of the mechanical race.

As for whether this war is between the Kingdom of Fiore and the Albares Empire, or whether it is within Ishgar or Alakitasia, they no longer care. Anyway, these weapons will not have to be sold by then!

But these new concept weapons are not their biggest gain in more than a month. Their biggest gain is the creation of a new type of intelligent machine!

Before Silver arrived, Val had a mechanical puppet that was connected to his consciousness. The robot had a chestnut head, long hands, thin legs, and a fat belly. It was wearing a black coat. In the original Empire, it was the robot that led the weak special effects troops to defeat The Thunder Gods.

But now, the mechanical puppets have been replaced. Since there are four second-generation intelligent robots in total, the two called them the "Four Horsemen". They are now temporarily under the Val team, just like Heine and Juliet in Irene. Same as my subordinates.

The bodies of the Four Horsemen were forged by Val, and the consciousness program was implanted by Silver. The two of them worked together to complete the magic construction and implantation. In other words, Silver was equivalent to their father, and Val was equivalent to their mother.

These intelligent robots with self-awareness, the ability to use exclusive magic, and amazingly powerful body hardware are no different from the mechanical tribesmen who can use magic.

This process was a new breakthrough for both of them, in every sense of the word.

Looking at the smile on Val's face, Silver pulled his face straight down: "You want to send out the 'Four Horsemen'? We made it with great difficulty, and I also have a share in it. It would be a pity to destroy it like this." Alright?"

Val was obviously unhappy and asked: "Do you think our new technological achievements will lose to those humans? They have the equivalent of twelve shields?"

After a period of testing between the two of them, Val concluded that unless they met a twelve-shield level magician, the ‘Four Knights’ would be invincible!

"I know enough about my works. From the data point of view, they are enough to deal with most magicians, but the magicians of 'Fairy Tail' are an exception!"

"What's the meaning?"

"I can only say that the so-called data is meaningless in front of them! The strength of this guild is far beyond your imagination!"

"..."

Val was silent. After getting along with each other for more than a month, he knew that the fellow racer in front of him was always rigorous in speaking and doing things. He was not the type who would blindly brag about someone. He was so proud that he didn't even pay attention to twelve guilders. Now he was afraid of this. It's really strange, which shows that these human beings who broke into the mechanical town are indeed extraordinary.

But he still didn't give up!

"Whether what you are saying is true or false, I will find out if I try it!"

"...If it breaks, you have to pay for it!"

"Okay, okay...that's so long-winded!"

Val waved his hand impatiently and gave the order to repel the enemy.

…

When Kira finished pretending to be X and got off the body of the special effects soldier, he found a very strange-looking face walking towards him.

This is a robot that is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and is very standard. It has all four limbs but no facial features. The whole body is made of a white metal and is integrated.

Even though the other person has no eyes, ears, and mouth, Kira has no doubt that this guy can see himself, hear his own voice, and communicate with himself.

Sure enough, when the robot walked in, it emitted a clear electronic sound: "I am one of the 'Four Horsemen' of Team Val, the Faceless Man."

Kira was stunned by the other party's self-introduction: "Faceless Man? Is there this person in the original work? From Team Val? I don't remember that the machine tribe has subordinates..."

Among the twelve shields, only a few people were equipped with subordinates when the battle began, and Val was one of the few. As for the chubby man who was in charge of the weak special effects soldiers in the original work, he was a puppet that communicated with Val's senses. .

"I am here to repel you under the orders of my master!" The faceless man's voice was cold and emotionless, and he didn't know where it came from.

"Repelling me? You are really good at talking!"

Faced with the attitude of the faceless man, Kira was not afraid at all. His face was not nervous about the unexpected enemy. He even taunted him in return, "Why don't you just say 'beat me to death'?"

The faceless man did not answer. Although it was implanted with an intelligent program and became intelligent, in the final analysis it was just a child of more than ten days old, and its thinking was not rich enough to support his complaints.

Kira was slightly disappointed by his silly appearance. It was really not in line with his style not to have a verbal confrontation before the battle.

But Kira's provocation was responded to. A strange wave of magic power suddenly appeared on the faceless man, and then white magic power was released and wrapped around him. As the magic power was completely covered, the whole person turned into a ball. Humanoid white light.

After more than ten seconds, the light slowly dissipated.

The reappearing faceless man has become a face man.

That's what Kira looks like.
