Just a magical girl who picks up trash

His hands instantly transformed into two gun barrels, and at the same time, two small missiles rose from his shoulders. The moment the four robots heard the sound, their eyes crimson as they looked towards the source of the sound: three black-robed figures standing next to a building in the distance. The next second, without hesitation, they had already pointed their weapons at each other, but did not fire rashly. Instead, after a moment of silence, electronic circuits suddenly lit up from their chests, and the next second, the eyes of the leading robot among the four robots slowly turned purple:

"A rat from the Demonic Society?"

A female voice, slightly different and wary, replaced the robot's original cold electronic voice. Looking at the three figures before her, she controlled the robot without fear and came to a distance in front of the three people. She faced them from a distance, ignoring their provocations and getting straight to the point.

"Do you want to compete with me for the Wind Gang Crystal?"

The scarlet light instantly swept across the three men in black before him, and his tone was filled with a hint of disdain:

"Just these three hybrid familiars?"

That's right, the robot she controlled was not her real body, but the magician in front of her was obviously not her real body either. He just found a few hybrid demons, signed slave contracts with them, and then brought them here. This was also the reason why she didn't take action directly. Everyone's real body was in the rear, and killing the other party's substitute was useless. Moreover, the Fenggang Crystal had not appeared yet, and taking action now would obviously not be worth the loss!

"Ah la la, Your Excellency the Great Heavenly Palace Mechanical Spirit, how can you call the affairs of magicians robbery? You are slandering us greatly!"

Protected by the ochre-colored magical light, the leading black-robed figure raised his head slightly, revealing a lizard-like face. Its pale red pupils were filled with boundless murderous intent, yet from that bloody mouth came words of incomparable elegance:

"The treasures of heaven and earth are only known to those who are destined to know them. I am just here to be that destined person!"

"Oh, someone with destiny?"

Upon hearing this, the being called Mechanical Spirit's tone became even more disdainful:

"This is the territory of Tianta City. You've crossed the line!"

After the Mirror Destruction Day, the ruins occupied 70% of the continent's land, becoming a completely ownerless land. The scientists and magicians of Tianta City each occupied the remaining 10% of the resources and land, jointly established their own civilizations and cities, and signed a non-aggression pact with each other. Later, with the birth of the Scavengers Organization, the resources of the ruins were further developed, and the ruins that were originally ignored became a piece of fat meat, arousing the covetousness of both science and magic.

From that moment on, both sides had been locked in a constant struggle for control of the ruins, desperately trying to occupy as much of the ruins as possible, securing more resources and ancient relics. As for the scavengers within the ruins, and the scavenger organization, one of the so-called three great factions, neither side took them seriously: mere mortals who made a living by collecting trash, relying on genetic enhancements to enhance their abilities, and possessing no magical abilities, how could they possibly compete?!

If it is really divided by region, Storm City is undoubtedly closer to Sky Tower City. This is why it is named after the city. In a sense, the magician's familiar appearing here... is indeed crossing the line!

"That's weird!"

In contrast to the other party's disdain, the ferocious-looking lizard's charming female voice was accompanied by a faint smile from beginning to end, and no emotion could be heard in its gentleness:

"The ruins are a recognized no-man's land. I don't even know when they became your Tianta City's territory. Have you... asked those poor scavengers?!"

After all, the ruins are indeed the territory of scavengers, so what she said is obviously correct!

"..."

The magician's words made the robot fall into silence for a moment, and then the next second, as if it felt there was no need to talk nonsense, the next second the robot's purple pupils had returned to scarlet color again, and at the same time... the order was issued!

"Commands accepted: Target the Wind Crystal with all your might, and destroy anyone who stands in your way!"

'Command accepted!'

Scarlet light flashed in the eyes of the four robots at the same time. They stared intently at the huge wind in front of them while also looking warily at the three black-robed familiars in front of them. However, the magician seemed to be unconcerned and spoke to himself:

"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wanna chat? I'm so bored staying in this dimly lit Mage Tower all day. Master Mechanical Spirit, come chat with me some more. It's still some time before the Wind Vortex disappears anyway!"

Each time a wind energy surged, it would produce wind energy crystals of varying degrees. This was clearly not the first time either side had conducted such an investigation, so they were all well aware of the wind energy's disappearance time. Looking at the wind energy before them, the magician, feeling it was still early, continued to harass the robot controller on the other side. However, the girl on the other side of the communicator, with her face filled with various computer instruments, ignored her. Instead, she stared intently at the huge wind energy on the screen, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What's going on? The energy of the wind energy is rapidly weakening... several times faster than normal... ten times faster? No, it's already dissipating?! This... this isn't right. This duration isn't right!"

He hammered away at the keyboard, trying to figure out what was going on, but to no avail... The wind was indeed weakening, and it was weakening at a speed never before experienced?!

"Ok?"

The mechanical spirit over there discovered the problem, and the magician here could not have failed to notice it either, because just as she finished speaking, she clearly felt that the elemental power around her seemed to be rapidly weakening.

"Kitten, check it out!"

In order to come to Storm City to snatch the Wind Gang Crystal for research, this time she sent carefully selected familiars. Each one was specially selected for various conditions such as the terrain of Storm City. One of them was a high-level familiar that she spent a lot of money to get from the upper tower. Naturally, it couldn't be just a decoration!

"Yes, Master!"

The black robe was gently lifted. The girl, who looked useless to humans, blinked her emerald green eyes and calmly looked at the wind and sand in front of her. A light blue light flashed slightly in her eyes, and the next second the girl started to report:

"The wind element is decreasing rapidly. The wind energy is about to disappear, Master!"

"What? So soon? The timing is wrong!"

Like the mechanical spirit, the magician, who was also observing everything through the lizardman's eyes, immediately uttered this whisper. Then, looking at the endless wind and sand before him, the magician gritted his teeth:

"Never mind. Later, grab the Wind Crystal for me at all costs. Once you get it, put it in the teleportation bag immediately. Remember, I said no matter the cost. Even if it means both of us die, you must put the Wind Crystal in the teleportation bag. Otherwise... humph!"

With a cold snort, the three familiars, including the girl and the black-robed man and lizard man on the other side, all shuddered.

"Yes, Master!"

Three voices responded at the same time, and then the three of them looked at the wind in the distance. They could see with their naked eyes the gradually disappearing wind and sand and a vague human figure in it.

"Ready to go out... eh?"

"what is that?"

"people?!"

How could there be anyone in this gust of wind that could easily tear through steel?!

39. The meeting of the three major forces!

How should I put it, given the current situation... it's a little embarrassing!

That was the awkward situation that started after Feng Gang disappeared ten seconds ago!

"Is this the person detected? A robot and... an orc?"

He was wearing a strange emerald green armor and his red eyes looked calmly at both sides. While Yu Huan was looking at the two sides in front of him curiously, the two forces in front of him were also looking at the person who inexplicably appeared in the wind gang in front of them...?

It should be a human. After all, although that armor looks like some kind of insect, at least judging by its life reactions, it should be a human. Of course, this is not the point. The point is...

'Detection: Technological artifact, unknown level of civilization, unknown armor structure, unknown faction!'

The scarlet light locked onto Yu Huan almost the moment she appeared. Then, as Yu Huan allowed herself to be looked at, a series of unclear questions suddenly came out of the robot's mouth. Apparently, it had just compared all the information in the database, but had not been able to find any information about the armor in front of it... It was understandable when you think about it. While the robot, or the mechanical spirit behind the robot, was bewildered, the familiar on the other side was undoubtedly also bewildered, but compared to the mechanical spirit, she was much more direct.

"I sense the fluctuations of magic from you. Are you a magician?"

A low voice came directly from the lizardman's mouth, questioning Yu Huan in front of him in a deep voice... You must know that before this, she had not received the news that other magicians were also coming to compete for the Wind Crystal, which was not in line with the rules between magicians!

"Magician?"

However, before Yu Huan could respond to the Lizard Man's words, the Mechanical Spirit on this side looked at Yu Huan with some surprise:

"You actually have magic powers? This is impossible!"

The armor she wore was clearly a technological artifact, but the incompatibility of magic and technology was an ironclad law of this world. However, the magician's surprised words clearly weren't a joke. Therefore, at that moment, the gazes of both the mechanical spirit and the magician were fixed on Yu Huan. It wasn't until a long moment later that the mechanical spirit asked through the robot it controlled:

"Who are you?"

After hearing this, everyone, including the magician, looked at Yu Huan. The two sides slowly surrounded Yu Huan, blocking her on both sides. Then they looked at her with vigilance, waiting for her answer while being ready to support her at any time... If it was a magician, then adhering to the principles of the same lineage, the three familiars would definitely help Yu Huan kill the opponent's robot as soon as possible. If it was someone from Tianta City, then the same would be true in reverse.

Both sides made up their minds and waited silently for Yu Huan's answer. It was only then that they finally recovered from their surprise and curiosity. There was nothing they could do. After all, she had only seen robots and orcs in novels in her previous life. This was her first time seeing a live-action version, so curiosity was inevitable. After noticing the inquiries from both sides, Yu Huan answered almost subconsciously:

"Me? Well, a scavenging Kamen Rider... or maybe a magical girl!"

"Kamen Rider?"

"Could it be someone from the Sky Tower Knights?!"

This was the thought from the mechanical spirit at that moment.

"Magical girl? Is she really a magician?!"

This was the magician's thought, but the next second the two of them almost simultaneously reacted to Yu Huan's first two words.

“Scavengers…you…you are a scavenger?!”

The magician blurted out in disbelief, but Yu Huan nodded honestly.

"Yes, I am indeed a scavenger. I'm currently taking the assessment for the Scavenger Academy... and by the way, I'm also a hermit!"

Well, I think this title is pretty good, and it’s also very mysterious to use. Not bad!

"The hermit...I see!"

This time, it was the mechanical spirit who showed an expression of sudden enlightenment:

"He obtained the power of the ancient relics before the Mirror Destruction Day, but was unwilling to participate in the struggle between the two factions, so he hid among the scavengers?!"

They are commonly known as the neutral party, and are also the people who support the scavengers. Otherwise, it is obviously impossible for the scavengers to be on par with the magicians in Tianta City even if there are many of them.

"Hermit...what is your purpose in coming here, sir?"

Although he knew it clearly from the other party's position and the fact that he had not been able to detect the magic power of the Wind Crystal so far, the lizardman, acting as a magician's substitute, still asked in a dull voice due to the hermit's mysterious nature.

The hermits scattered throughout the ruins were a very special existence, as they utilized mysterious powers that had long been lost before the Mirror Destruction Day. Therefore, no one could know their true strength. Some were very weak, while others were very strong. And as for the one before them... the one who could walk out of the Wind Vortex unscathed was obviously not a weakling, and this was why neither side acted rashly. Even now, both the Mechanical Spirit and the Magician were considering whether or not to continue searching for the Wind Crystal. After all, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the thing had been taken away by the person before them.

Either retreat or grab!

"Eh? Me? Didn't I tell you I'm here to take the scavenger exam?"

I just said it, what's the point of asking again?

Turning to look at the lizardman in front of him, he realized that the live-action version was actually a lot scarier than the anime version. After all, this wasn't a two-dimensional creature, with no cuteness at all. Through that bloody mouth, Yu Huan could even see the minced meat between its teeth... Eh~ Didn't this guy brush his teeth after eating meat?!

By the way, how big a toothbrush would it take to brush a lizard's teeth?!

"Your Excellency, you are joking!"

Just as Yu Huan was distracted by the question of how the lizardman in front of him should brush his teeth, the magician on the side was slightly stunned and then smiled:

"Your Excellency is such a joke! How can a mere scavenger be worthy of your status?"

Looking at that gorgeous armor, feeling the powerful magic within him, they all said, "You told me you're a scavenger... or even an apprentice?" In fact, they obviously didn't believe it!

"But the truth is, I am just a scavenger. I can't help it if you don't believe me!"

Deserving or not… Yu Huan could clearly hear the other party's disdain for scavengers in his tone, which instantly made Yu Huan lose much of his favor for him. Why? Because his own system was a scavenger system, and he was destined to be a scavenging magical girl… or a Kamen Rider. So if the other party looked down on scavengers, wouldn't that in a sense also mean looking down on his own system?

There was no point in talking, so Yu Huan immediately spread his hands and saw that neither side seemed to have any intention of fighting. He completely ignored their vigilance and said:

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I finally waited for this damn wind to die down, and I have to go pick up trash and take the exam!"

Of course this was false. After all, Yu Huan had already completed the mission supplies. But this was not a reason for Yu Huan to waste time here with them. After all, she still wanted to find a place to implement the idea in her mind as soon as possible.

It’s a pity that if Yu wants to leave, the other party must be willing to let her go!

"Sir, the armor you're wearing is... a technological artifact, right?"

The scarlet electronic eye had been observing the armor on Yu Huan's body since the magician and Yu Huan started talking. However, what shocked the mechanical spirit was that no matter how it investigated, it was completely unable to analyze the information and metal material of the armor. This instantly aroused a strong interest in the mechanical spirit, an interest that was even greater than that of the Feng Gang Crystal.

"Could this be the technology of our ancestors before the Mirror Destruction Day?!"

This thought flashed through his mind, and when Yu Huan nodded in agreement, the Mechanical Spirit said directly without beating around the bush:

"I want to buy the armor you're wearing. The price is one hundred thousand Sky Tower coins!"

Honestly, this was already a good price, at least for a scavenger. However, for the Mechanical Spirit, it was obviously not a huge amount. At least if she really researched the ancestral technology through this armor, then her income would definitely not be comparable to multiplying it a hundredfold.

"One hundred thousand?!"

Apparently, Yu Huan was also taken aback by the other party's price, but then she shook her head without even thinking:

"Sorry, it's personal property, I don't want to sell it!"

Not to mention that the Kuuga belt had already merged with her, the upgrade potential of the belt alone was far beyond the reach of a mere 100,000. Not to mention that as a Mask fan, you're asking her to sell her precious armor? Just kidding, forget 100,000, even 10 million... I'd have to think about it!

"Really? That's a shame. So..."

Yu Huan's reluctance to sell was actually within expectations. The Mechanical Spirit obviously didn't insist too much, but the next second he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Then I wonder if you could give me some of the Wind Gang Crystals in your hand? After all, they belong to my Tianta City area. Even if you are a hermit, taking them without permission... doesn't seem right, does it?"

I'm almost saying that you stole the apples from my orchard and it's unreasonable for you not to give me some!

"So I'm telling you... when did the ruins become your Tianta City's?!"

Before Yu Huan could refute the Mechanical Spirit's words, the Lizardman on the other side could no longer bear it and sneered:

"Isn't this clearly the territory of scavengers?"

In one sentence, Yu Huan immediately nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, I just said I'm taking the scavenger exam. This is scavenging supplies!"

If she claimed she didn't have the Wind Gang Crystal, no one would believe her in this situation. So, although she didn't know why the magician seemed to be defending her, Yu Huan wasn't stupid at this point. She didn't want to offend both sides, so she had to decisively choose one side. Besides... how could a scavenger be accused of stealing? She had clearly found it openly!

"..."

With just one sentence, the Mechanical Spirit fell silent instantly, and then the next second...

"Enemy annihilation mode activated, target: four people!"

The mechanical arm was raised instantly, and the next second a weapon like a Gatling gun barrel was stretched out, aimed at the three familiars and Yu Huan in front of it.
