Chapter 18 Salvage, Chamber of Commerce and Army

"Hey, Greco, are you still planning to go down? You might die this time."

In Alley No. 14, on the edge of an island as huge as a city, the kobold Kukla was moving things while talking to a young man from the green ghost tribe next to him who looked somewhat like a goblin.

"You said this when I first went down there. Aren't those in our profession prepared to abandon their lives and die from the very beginning?"

Glick smiled "hum hum" and didn't take Kukla's words to heart.

"As for you, you have been a salvager for several years. Have you considered when to stop? Unlike someone like me who has no worries, do you have someone you like?"

"Wha, what? Why would you like Glick know who spread the word?"

Shocked by the words of the green ghost youth, Kukla almost threw the box in his hand to the ground. It contained valuable fuel. Without these magic stones to drive the power furnace that burns magic power, it would fly into the air.

The boat can no longer fly.

"Of course you said it when you were drunk. You said you would go back to your hometown to get married after this time."

"Hey, hey, this sounds like I will definitely die this time. Take it back quickly."

"..."

Not only Kukla and Glick, but also salvagers from all races gathered in this empty alley belonging to the Orlando Chamber of Commerce. It was like a large gathering of salvagers.

The so-called salvagers are troops who take great risks to explore human ruins on the ground. Exploration operations are usually initiated by chambers of commerce. Their main purpose is to find weapons against beasts and to explore the causes of the formation of "beasts".

However, this was the first time that a team of salvagers of more than a hundred people had gathered.

The reason is that a place similar to ancient ruins was discovered on the ground half a month ago.

Although the vanguard had to withdraw due to the "beast" attack, the detector showed the reaction of a large number of holy swords on the ground.

Generally speaking, detectors will only respond to the presence of the Holy Sword when the distance is close. But that time, even though it was still far away from the ground, the detectors of the salvagers sitting on the airship all responded.

There was a reaction.

In other words, there is likely to be a battlefield of ancient humans on the ground, perhaps a weapons workshop or the like.

After a period of discussion, the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce decided on this action.

After all, the cheapest holy sword can be sold on the market for a high price of 200,000 yuan. If there really is a battlefield or workshop that can produce a large number of holy swords, then it is worthwhile to organize a large-scale exploration operation.

Among the salvagers, there are indeed some dreamers who regard the ground as their destination. However, it is undeniable that the reason why many people engage in the dangerous profession of salvagers is because there are a large number of hidden things hidden on the ground that are not found on the floating island.

of treasure.

Taking a gamble with the idea of ​​getting rich overnight is what most salvagers think.

However, such people often die when they first reach the ground.

Although it is difficult for the "beasts" that wreak havoc on the earth to attack the islands in the sky, it is another matter if they have to fight their way to their territory.

Nigolan is not a salvager. Strictly speaking, she is the person in charge of this Chamber of Commerce operation.

In fact, he was not the only one in charge. She was only in charge of one of the three airships, but she was still considered a person with real power.

Her qualifications in the Chamber of Commerce are actually not very high. The reason why she got this opportunity was due to her unique racial talent.

On the ground where (Seventeen Beasts) are rampant, if you don't have a certain level of strength, you will only die when you encounter danger.

The price for gaining room for advancement is that she will conduct ruins surveys with ordinary salvagers. Unlike other chamber of commerce executives, who only need to stay in the control room of the spacecraft to drink tea and enjoy delicious pastries.

Because of the special nature of this mission, the Chamber of Commerce specifically found the senior officials of the Wing Guards, the main force fighting the "beasts" on the floating island, and requested a certain level of assistance from them.

This time there will be two reconnaissance boats to assist in the detection, and safety can be guaranteed.

Moreover, according to rumors, the Chamber of Commerce specifically applied to the Wing Guard Army for the right to use secret weapons against "beasts" this time.

It is said that it originally belonged to the Chamber of Commerce, but it was only nominally owned by the Wing Guard Army. After all, there was a rule on the floating island that non-governmental organizations were not allowed to possess weapons with lethality exceeding a certain standard.

The Suspended Island Continent Group is a collection of more than a hundred suspended islands.

The No. 1 floating island is located close to the center. The numbers are assigned in a spiral from the inside to the outside. The numbers are smaller toward the inside and larger toward the outside.

The islands close to the center, that is, the floating islands numbered within 40, are quite close to each other.

Some islands are so close that they are connected by chains and bridges.

However, the islands numbered after 70 are not so lucky. Not only are they far apart from each other, but their area is also insignificant, and there are few public boats traveling between them.

Therefore, it is actually very troublesome to go from the outer islands to the inner islands.

"Go faster, do you want me to be scolded by the big shots for being late?"

After getting off a public boat, a young man from the werewolf tribe walked in front and cursed. Behind him were two petite girls holding wooden boxes that were larger than their bodies.

Because the box blocked their view, the two had to slow down, but the young man from the werewolf tribe seemed not to notice this and strode forward.

"I bet this guy will trip over a stone on the side of the road because he walks too fast."

With beautiful curls and hair as bright as ears of rice, the girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old blinked her big eyes, which had the same color as Kuchiki, and looked at the age around her through the big box she held in her hand.

said the older companion.

"Asiya, please keep your voice down. If the technical officer hears it, you will not be able to keep your dinner today."

The girl who was dressed simply, wearing a big gray hat and long sky blue hair stopped him in a low voice.

"Humph, what does it matter? After all, we won't be under this guy's control after we get on the ship. Now that we are running around, I must just want to curry favor with those big shots so that we can get rid of the position of administrator as soon as possible."

Pouting her lips, Isaya said in a nonchalant tone.

"But it's my first time to go to the ground. Chedoli, have you ever been to the ground with the Chamber of Commerce before?"

Beside Isaya, Khodori shook her head.

"No, it's my first time too, but I heard from my seniors before that the ground is very dangerous. There are rare 'beasts' on the suspended island almost everywhere on the ground."

"?In that case, aren't we doomed?"

Tilting her head, the girl held the wooden box in her hand, her expression suddenly becoming depressed.

"What's wrong? Aiseya."

"Because, I suddenly remembered that I secretly ate the pancakes that Landoroko put in the cabinet when I left. It seems that I can't apologize to her."

"Hmph, Randolulu must hate you to death now."

As he said that, the two girls laughed in unison, as if they didn't know the fate they were about to face.
