She was certain this wasn't her handiwork, as she hadn't taught her alchemy methods to anyone else—even if they weren't particularly impressive.
The alchemical creation before her was humanoid but only had an upper body. Below was a ring emitting white light. Looking closely, it was engraved with intricate Magic Patternss.
Magic Patternss are composed of runes. In some high-difficulty creations, Magic Patternss are more useful than individual runes, though they require a lot from the creator.
Usually, only Master Alchemists can complete such things. Jona Velli could only barely engrave them, and even then, there were many issues.
While Jona Velli was examining the alchemical creation, it also scanned her.
A mechanical voice rang out.
"Scan successful. No corresponding resident identified. Determined to be an unknown intruder!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the little alchemical man's eyes instantly turned from white to red. It raised its mechanical right arm and fired a shot into the sky.
Bang!
Seeing this series of operations, Jona Velli grew interested, her ahoge twitching.
"Oh-ho, this thing is actually quite advanced."
While Jona Velli was looking at it with curiosity, the metal arm shifted and turned into a beast trap.
"What is this thing?"
Bang!
...A crowd of monsters had gathered around. Blockhead's heart was in his throat.
He frantically pushed through the crowd of monsters, followed by the White Crystal Knights. Finally, he saw the scene at the center, and his heart went cold at the sight.
He saw a white Dragon Girl irritably dismantling alchemical parts scattered all over the ground. Her once beautiful face had become distorted and terrifying due to her rage.
The ahoge on her head was also sticking straight up because she was so angry.
On her body were remnants of the capture net she had torn apart.
Standing quietly around the white Dragon Girl were his colleagues, Little Shunzi and Medusa.
Noticing Blockhead's arrival, Little Shunzi and Medusa turned to look at him, their eyes filled with pity and "good luck."
At that moment, Jona Velli stopped what she was doing and glared at him.
Blockhead felt a chill in his heart. His heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed hard.
Jona Velli kicked aside a broken alchemical robot and stomped toward Blockhead in a fury.
Blockhead quickly knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Master! I have sinned!"
Jona Velli came to his side and looked down at him.
"Was this artificial idiot your invention?"
*Gulp*—
Blockhead swallowed. Although he didn't know what an "artificial idiot" was, he guessed it referred to the fragments of the alchemical puppets before him, so he answered truthfully.
"Answering Master, yes."
"Heh~"
A soft chuckle came. Little Shunzi buried his head even lower. If he had sweat glands, he would have been drenched in sweat by now.
"Good, you've done very well. Instead of mining properly, you spend all day on this useless nonsense."
With that, Jona Velli kicked him over and walked away coolly.
Only after Jona Velli was far away did Blockhead scramble to his feet and let out a huge sigh of relief.
He had been scared to death just now, thinking he was a goner.
He looked up and saw that Little Shunzi and Medusa had already walked up to him.
"Are you okay..."
...Jona Velli was absolutely livid. She had been in a good mood, but it was ruined by that artificial idiot. She scratched her hair in frustration.
