Her crystal-blue pupils suddenly widened.
"This Is..."
Huge dragon wings blocked the front of Jona Velli. The next second... Bang!
The alchemical golems exploded violently. When the dust gradually settled, a huge black deep pit remained.
The pure white dragon wings had turned pitch black, and cracks appeared on the smooth dragon scales.
Jona Velli's gaze narrowed.
"I didn't expect a self-destruct mechanism to be set. I was too careless.
But this thing really Is quite fragile to take apart."
But then, Jona Velli opened her claws. Lying there was an unconscious human, along with the alchemical golems that had been shielded by her dragon wings.
Jona Velli was in no hurry to kill Is; after all, she still had things to ask him. As for that alchemical golems... Jona Velli extended her claws and began to destroy the mana circuits carved into it.
After a moment, the alchemical golems lost its ability to move.
Having finished this, Jona Velli organized the remaining relatively intact fragments of the alchemical automata, packed them all up, and flew toward the White Crystal City... After five hours of flight, Jona Velli returned to the huge City-state, where the Dependents in the city were cleaning up the destruction caused by the battle.
Seeing Jona Velli return, Little Shunzi, Blockhead, Medusa, and the other servants hurried out of the city to greet her.
"Greetings, Great Master."
Jona Velli piled the alchemical automata on the ground and transformed into her human form, sitting on the palm of one of them.
"Little Shunzi, tell me, how was the battle this time?"
"As you wish.
The anti-sneak attack plan was a great success. Before the humans made their move, we followed your orders and had all the White Crystal Knights return to their original forms and feign sleep in the city.
The low-level residents in the city were arranged to leave in advance, so there weren't many casualties among the magical beasts.
On the other hand, most of the humans chose to surrender."
Hearing Little Shunzi's report, Jona Velli nodded her dragon head.
"Not bad. Bring those surrendered humans forward."
"As you command, Great Master."
Little Shunzi stood up and flew toward the city.
At this time, Jona Velli noticed Blockhead, who was staring fixedly.
Doubt arose in her heart. Following Blockhead's gaze, she found that he was staring intently at these alchemical automata.
"Blockhead."
There was no answer. Jona Velli frowned slightly and raised her voice.
"Blockhead."
There was still no response. Medusa, who was beside him, hurriedly flicked her tail, slapping the back of the White-Scaled Goblin.
Blockhead stumbled forward because of this slap and finally snapped out of it.
"Here, my Lord! Please forgive me, my Lord!"
Jona Velli was not angry. Originally, she just wanted to ask if he had seen Friel, but now she had a bigger question.
"Are you interested in this?"
Hearing Jona Velli's words, Blockhead froze for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"In reply to the Master, for some reason, I have a vague sense of familiarity with these... these things.
But I can't say exactly why it's familiar. It's like... like..."
"Like what?"
"Like it's being blocked by some kind of power. I can't say it, I can't describe it. I only have a slight feeling."
Jona Velli looked at him, then at the alchemical creation beneath her feet.
"Do you know what this Is?"
"Your subordinate does not know."
Jona Velli showed a thoughtful expression.
"The name of this thing Is... an alchemical golems."
As soon as these words were spoken, Blockhead's pupils shrank into tiny dots, trembling constantly.
Suddenly, he reached out his hands and clutched his head. He felt like he was about to remember something, but it was always being locked away by a mysterious power.
This resulted in a splitting headache, as if his brains were being stirred.
Seeing this scene, Jona Velli roughly had a guess. It was about a record of a race in her Inheritance Memory, but she wasn't sure.
Looking at Blockhead rolling on the ground, Jona Velli looked at Medusa and the other personal maids.
"Go and prepare some food for me."
"As you wish, Great Master."
Not long after Medusa left, Little Shunzi and a group of White Crystal Knights escorted the surrendered people out of the city gate and came before Jona Velli.
