In the Albarez Empire, such a love story circulated.

The man and the woman are a pair of childhood sweethearts, the two grew up together in childhood, and then the man went far to Yin Xiugar, because he missed his hometown lover, he began to carve wooden dolls, pinning his feelings on it, and the carved wooden dolls are bigger than one another. A few years later, he returned to his hometown and gave the doll to his lover, who created the nesting doll.

A month ago, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.

"Hey, hey, hey...... What are you kidding? Didn't you say that the 'Four Horsemen' are intelligent mechanical soldiers who are leading a new era? Why do you want to make a nesting doll look like an old thing that appeared hundreds of years ago? I don't know what the situation is in Yin Xiugar, but in the Albarez Empire, even children don't play with this kind of thing, okay? ”

With steam on his head, Val complained to Silver about his sketch of the Four Horsemen.

Silver only smiled when he heard this, and the old god said on the ground: "According to the data I have collected in Yin Xiugar, there is a mysterious connection between the appearance of those powerful magicians and the magic they use, which is a mystery that even I can't fathom. ”

"While this is unfounded, I have a vague feeling that if the image of the mechanical soldiers was designed to match the magic they use as much as possible, it would have an unexpected effect."

Val looked confused, and couldn't help but complain: "Huh?! Do you want to hear what you're talking about?! We're mechanical, and the only thing that can convince us is machinery and technology, right?! Why would you believe in a baseless speculation?! ”

Silver didn't refute it, but just pulled away from the topic: "Who said that there are only machines and technology, and there are not magic and alchemy?" ”

"By 'technology', I mean things that can be cultivated and learned according to theory, and naturally also include magic and alchemy! But it doesn't include the inexplicable inference that 'physiognomy has something to do with magic' that you said! Did you get your head caught in the door? ”

Silver: "......"

"Hey, isn't it?! You've really got your head caught?! Val 'Wakaka' laughed.

After Val had had enough of laughing, Silver said, "Okay, okay...... Anyway, it's okay for you to design it anyway, it's better to believe it, after all, it's a magical world! ”

"Besides, it's too monotonous to design them all in human form!"

Val sighed: "The latter sentence is the real reason!" Forget it, it's up to you, but if the final result isn't ideal, I'm going to settle accounts with you! ”

……

The defense of the mechanical nesting doll is very strong, so strong that it is still immovable after being punched by Natsu, if it is an ordinary iron block, even if the volume is more than ten times or dozens of times, it will only be smashed and flying.

"This guy is so tough...... terrifying strength even caused a slight concussion in the air, causing Harpy and Lucy to smack their tongues.

"Could it be that it's a defensive mechanical soldier?"

"It's extraordinary! The body is its best weapon! ”

After looking at the short nesting doll and pondering for a few seconds, Lucy shook her head and said, "The explosive speed that just attacked me, coupled with its own hardness, is even more terrifying than the fist of the president when he shoots with all his might!" ”

"The President's fist ......??"

Harpy's mind suddenly remembered that Makarov slapped Natsu to the ground, and Natsu struggled to no avail, and his eyes full of 'wisdom' instantly became panicked.

"Ahhh

Isn't Natsu dangerous?!

！ ”

"Don't worry! Natsu: He's fine!

”

Lucy smiled confidently, looking at the back in front of her with a trusting gaze.

Harpy looked at Lucy carefully, and when he turned his back, the corners of his mouth curled up with an uncontrollable arc, and he smug in his heart: 'Great! Lucy isn't angry! She's so easy to deceive......

Lucy didn't notice the little Jiujiu in Harpy's heart, at this time her attention was on Natsu and the mechanical matryoshka in front of her, and her intuition told her that this enemy was not so simple, and it was fundamentally different from the weak special effects soldiers that appeared before.

Thinking of this, Lucy pulled out the key on her waist with her backhand, and suddenly her whole person glowed with a completely different look from before: "Okay, I'll go up and help too!" ”

Originally, she decided to help because she was worried about Natsu, which should have been the perfect doubles, but Natsu refused very incomprehensibly: "No need to come over, I will be able to clean up this kind of guy soon!" ”

"Isn't it an iron man? Gajiru is a hundred times harder than that!

”

Lucy "......"

"Poof...... "Poof" Harpy covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes full of teasing.

"What's so funny about you dead cat!

”

The resentment that was originally lowered because of the hero's rescue of the beauty rerose, and the hormones that were ashamed of the answer also turned into cholesterol, and the fair face was dyed red again, this time it was angry and ashamed: "If you want to fight alone, you can fight alone, I don't care about you!" Idiot Natsu!

”

Harpy whispered to Bibi: "Lucy is jealous......"

"I didn't!

”

"It's still Gajiru's ......"

"Not really!

！ ”

"Lucy is so pathetic......"

"Who wants you to be pitiful!

That's enough!

”

The quarrel between the two did not prevent Natsu and the mechanical doll from fighting, and the two had already exchanged hands.

It's actually a bit inaccurate to say that it's a fight, because the mechanical doll doesn't have hands, and its fighting method is the same as Lucy's prediction, it's a collision, but the super speed and unparalleled weight make each of its hits extremely destructive, and it doesn't take a few moves to blast the mechanical dollhouse to pieces.

Looking at Natsu again, his combat methods are still as clever as ever, but in this kind of room, he has an unexpected effect, and every blow hits the opponent's vital point.

Flame eruption at the elbow to bless speed, flame wrap on the fist to increase destructive power, fire cover the whole body to improve defense, plus the agility of a beast to deal with it, it is not far behind.

A few minutes later, Natsu spotted the anomaly: "Damn! Is it my delusion? How do you feel that its speed is getting faster and stronger......"

Peng! Peng! Peng! ……

The sound of more and more compact impact echoed in the ears, like a symphony about to reach its climax, like a summer downpour; The movement of the iron doll began to appear afterimage, and the dynamic vision could not keep up with the other party's movement speed, and later, three iron dolls appeared directly in the line of sight, and the number was still increasing.

Peng!

Another punch smashed the opponent into the air, and Natsu finally affirmed the doubt in his heart: "It's not an illusion! Its attack frequency is really getting faster!

The strength is also much stronger than at the beginning! ”

Moving faster and faster, and getting heavier and heavier attacks, it didn't take long for Natsu to be overwhelmed.

Winter!

After the muffled thud, Natsu was shaken back two steps by the force, and this time, his fist felt pain.

"The power of the blow...... It's so heavy!

”

"Natsu!

Are you okay? Seeing that Natsu's momentum was gradually declining, Lucy didn't care about his request to solve the battle alone, and directly pulled out the star river on his waist and stood behind him.

】

"Ah...... I'm fine! Natsu didn't refuse Lucy's sudden intervention, but said worriedly, "It's just that this guy is getting stronger and stronger, it's really troublesome!" ”

Lucy smirked, "Hmph...... Looks like you're not going to be able to fix it anytime soon! No way, let me help you! ”

Natsu blinked and smiled heartily: "It's okay if Lucy doesn't need help, I'm fine alone......"

"Less verbose! Hurry up and go to dinner!

”

The harpy behind him covered his mouth and snickered: "Lucy is tsundere!"

Sure enough, the golden retrievers are all ......"

"Oooh!

Does Lucy want to invite to dinner? Natsu looked excited, the corners of his mouth flowed down uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, "I'm burning!"

”

Lucy: "......"

Harpy was speechless: "Natsu...... You...... Hey......"
