Number One Dungeon Supplier



Even though they had returned to their room, they were already pretending to do stuff while watching what the Mechanical Hound was able to search with the help of the System. The invisibility module continued to be working as long as the hound did not exceed a certain temperature. At most of the time, this temperature threshold only happened if they were to fire their weapons at their enemies.

Therefore, there was not much fear that the invisibility module should continue to work until he reached the marker. Thankfully, it did without too much of a hitch. There were some road blocks but they never cover the entirety of the area, allowing the Mechanical hound to bypass most of them without a problem. 

And when it reached the incident site, there was no one around that monitors it. Even a quick scan did not show any cameras or traps around the area. (The System was sure that it passes its perception check. Lol.) And thus, it decided to move ahead of the area where it had been deemed forbidden for the Grey Bears to move and it started to scan whatever it could to ensure that the Grey Bears had the greatest amount of information transmitted.

At first there was really nothing of note but subsequently when there was a great ravine, they started to notice the same tracks as they had found at the incident site (less the tampering of it.) Mechanical Hound began to take its time to scan the footprints and it was apparent that they had indeed not find the Crystal Dragon. 

"The tracks do not match the metal footprint that was left in the wake of the Mechanical Crystal Dragon's departure." Yinn said and Tellie double confirmed the findings as well. 

"It's another dragon-ish monster then why are the Parry City Soldiers so afraid of showing it to us?" Lynn said and Click shouted that they found something of note that could be useful...or not. It was a torn up document with most of its printed words smudged by the ravine's river. 

There were some words that were still legible but the only 'alarming' words that popped out was Dragon. There was nothing that could be worth of note so Click continued to ask the Mechanical Hound to check the area. As it passed the ravine and into a valley, the tracks had disappeared.

"Nope, the trail is gone. There is a small stream that passed through the area and it is not likely we will be seeing anything else. The stream slowly connects to bigger river and it goes to the city it seems." Click said and the rest felt that this relevation amounted to almost nothing until Lynn chipped in.

"What about ehh checking the walls of the valleys?" She recommended. "If it's a dragon, it should have wings right?" It might have flown off but at the same time it should be hitting the wall or something." 

And she was right, there was actually some spurts of blood and oil on the walls of the valleys alongside a few claw marks. Yinn continued to analyse the claw marks and stated that the Crystal Dragon had one lesser finger compared to the marks. It was not an good indication but it proved that this might be another dragon working.

"The System does not have access to Parry City's database and unable to check the blood. However, the oil used is standard issued Mechanoid equipment used by the Parry City Military. The System had saw and tracked a few of those oil barrels and they were of the same …oil."

"What's with the pause?" Lynn asked

"The System is double checking if the Daimon had the same composition of oil being used. As of now, there were no matches with the exception of one that had 78% chance. However, the System cannot confirm the oil we sell to them is the same as the oil they used." 

"Its possible they might have mixed the oil" Tellie said and Yinn agreed which Lynn questioned why.

"Possible if you think they are running on fumes." Yinn commented. "Their Mechanoids are not exactly the latest models and they seemed to be rusted, indicating maintenance was not their priority. There is a chance the mixed the oil to have it run longer. Not the best solution but considering they are more or less spoiled, its cheaper to buy a brand new model of Mechanoid rather than repair an old one." 

"But we are going out of the theoretical portion of the mystery." Yinn later said and Click shook her head. 

"Not theoretical if we have a body as evidence." Click said as she asked the mechanical hound to jump up over the valley and they saw a rather damaged body of Parry City Military's Mechanoid as well as a broken off decomposing human arm.

There were still fingerprints which gave them the information that they needed on the guy if they were to search as well as seeing the state of the Parry City Military Mechanoid given them the clues needed to know how it was being killed. 

From the looks of it, it was not just crashed by strong able fangs but rather being dropped from a considerable amount of distance before it went offline. Click quickly try to check it the memory module was still in tact or not and asked its hound to attempt to connect to it so that they could have video or at least audio footage to see if it was truly the Crystal Dragon that had been terrorising the area. 

"Then I guess, the information that had been given to us is not by willing military parties. Someone in the intelligence had decided to leak this information in hopes that we might be able to do something about it." Page stated and Diaz could not hide her laughter.

"You mean the spy got fed up that he/she decided to leak this out so that we can be involved? You think we are in some B rating spy film?" Diaz commented.

"If the spy had decided to go open channel with us to send this image, mostly likely that spy would be dead or imprisoned. All we can do is to wait for the video to be decoded and we can deduce what to do. But it will seem the week would be long."
