Chapter 55: The Three Laws of Automatic Gnomes
According to Black, a professional named Rokkaka came out of the goblin, but one of the adventurers, Yayoi, who called himself a promiscuous duck, and the pudding gum stucco monster in the nameless cave in the north exploded with it.
"Plane adventurers are really elusive."
Chen Zhou was amazed by the amazing strength of the adventurer who called himself a promiscuity in Xiao Hei's mouth.
But they weren't here to sell penguin coins and loyalty cards after all, and the recharge was put aside, and the three of them quickly gathered local information.
The location that the group crossed was the town of Shazan in the north-central region of the Norton Kingdom, which was one of the important places leading to the northern grasslands, so the security was relatively strict.
Even so, ordinary guards usually do not ask the caster for taxes, but rather go there at certain times...... However, these three people from the outer realm are too suspicious.
"Alas, I knew that I would have brought some cash, but I really didn't expect that there was such a thing as a city entrance fee for the main material."
Even the outer realms where Tira lives have no similar rules, and places like the Astral Realm and the Wasteland should be handed over to the gods who created the world if they really want to pay the entrance fee.
Chen Zhou doesn't care about this, anyway, he used illusion to hide his identity, and if he evades taxes, he will evade taxes.
"Luckily, we're in a close position to where we landed when we first teleported."
Xiao Hei took out the map and motioned to the other two, "Just a little further north, in the wilderness that deviates from the main road, is the path where we were ambushed by goblins last time. ”
"Then let's go and kill them first, and don't rush to investigate the Norton Kingdom's wanton discharge of hazardous waste to other worlds."
Tira nodded, and immediately led the team out of the city.
The danger factors that led to her last near-annihilation are gone, and there is another beast in the team who can fight at a glance, which can't catch those goblins as black slaves, so she kicks herself as a ball.
However, as they leave town, the trio find apparition detection posts at the gates, a large number of steam knights, and the warrants for the three of them.
"I'm only worth 5 gold?" Tyra pulled out her pen angrily, "I want them to understand my true worth!" ”
Fortunately, Xiao Hei stopped her in time: "You are a Xinghai merchant, not an astral pirate, and there is no need to reflect the value on the wanted warrant." ”
The penguin-man's fat body is clearly unable to break free from the automatic gnomes.
Reluctantly, he grabbed a lantern hanging from his waist and used his magic to ignite the flames in it.
The warm light of the fire is calming, but it has no effect on the automatic dwarf of the mechanical mind and Chen Zhou, who is immune to the influence of the mind.
But it didn't take long for the figures of the three to disappear in the firelight.
"It's a ghost lantern, and you won't be able to see clearly where it's illuminated."
It's equivalent to the "Invisible Orb" that Chen used not long ago, but it can be adjusted at any time as needed.
"Let's use this to leave Shazan Town."
"Obviously, we just need to leave openly, but I really don't understand the habits of the Dorval penguins."
"They always like to be sneaky, even if it's in the open, they like to do it in private."
In contrast to the mediocre material plane, most of the races that live in the plane with strong faction orientation have special habits.
The characteristic of the penguin people is that they do not see the light of day even when they are doing business......
This made Chen Zhou's mood complicated, and he became more and more curious about who the god who created this race was.
Despite being as chaotic in behavior as any other elf creature in the Elven Wilds, Tira's abilities as a dimensional adventurer can still be trusted.
Encountering almost no obstacles, her lantern left the town of Shazan with the others.
But it didn't take long after the three of them left.
A mantis man dressed like a monk also went to the wilderness under the suspicious gaze of everyone......
……
"Although there are about seven or eight creatures that are translated as goblins, what we often call goblins are small, weak and rude humanoids that are not monsters, but whose behavior and tribal habits often lead humans to perceive them as a race of monsters."
On the way to the wilderness, the Rat Head Military Master also introduced the enemies he was about to encounter for Chen Zhou, who had never fought with a goblin since his debut.
This creature is timid by nature, prone to subservience to the strong, and has always relied on numbers and cunning in battle, often acting as a vassal of certain monsters.
Despite this, it is still a natural enemy for novice adventurers.
After all, it's hard to believe that the most dangerous missions you've done so far have been to find cats, fighting small hordes of creatures in the wild that use traps, tricks, sneak attacks, and numerical superiority.
In the novice stage of Tier 1, even warriors can't resist the scene of traps delaying the pace in front of them, and goblins firing a salvo with a sling.
"In fact, the last time we were almost wiped out by the goblins was because of their trap."
In this regard, Xiao Hei, who once became the engine of group annihilation, has a deep understanding.
When they first came to the wilderness of Asta, they saw a child being dragged by a wolf on a path.
Xiao Hei, who didn't think much about it, rushed up on the spot, only to be attacked by a hungry wolf and a goblin disguised as a child.
"There's no way around it, after all, the automatic gnomes were created by the gnomes and mechanics to set a three-point law that cannot be violated."
The penguin man on the side stretched out his round hand and counted the three laws:
First, automatic gnomes must protect gnomes who are attacked by non-gnomes;
Second, automatic gnomes must defend themselves when attacked;
Third, automatic gnomes must protect babies and minors from harm.
These three principles are written into the underlying logic of all automatic gnomes, so that Xiao Hei rushed to the child who seemed to be being attacked by a wild wolf without thinking.
In fact, if you look closely and think about it, it is easy to spot the discord, and then find the goblins lurking nearby.
As a result, this group of astral adventurers still accidentally ate deflated.
"I didn't expect dwarfs to also pay attention to the three laws of constructing creatures." Chen Zhou was dumbfounded, "But I think these three are somewhat unreasonable, right?" ”
It only takes a chance that any two of these three can clash in pairs.
When a dwarf takes the initiative to attack an automatic gnome, there may be a contradiction between the first and second articles;
When a minor non-dwarf attacks a dwarf, there may be a conflict between the first and third articles;
In the case of a minor attacking an automatic dwarf, there may be a conflict between the second and third articles.
Tila nodded sympathetically, "Indeed, there are actually things that seem like jokes, such as the automatic gnomes who go to protect the adventurers when they attack underage monsters. ”
For example, the Shira toad tadpole, which is parasitic on a humanoid object.
"Then what would the automatic gnome do if an Dragon Hatchling attacked a gnome?"
"Hey Lily, why are you bullying the gnomes if you have nothing to do?"
But I have to say that Lily really wants to try what Xiao Hei will do when she sees it.
