Chapter 78 - Scrappy's long way home

Scrappy was sitting in a small cage, he wanted to cut it up and collect this piece of scrap but this strange man came looking for him all the time.

Scrappy was starting to feel happy about the cage between him and the strange man that just went around the cage and started giggling and lovingly touching the cage.

Also, some other people came the looked different than the strange person wearing neat clothing with many pockets filled with tools and notes. They were looking at scrappy and writing something on their note lock, they were so focused that scrappy even achieved to snatch some pieces of scrap out of their pockets. But scrappy had to find a way out and secure his collected scrap from his journey. He cut the door bolt of his cage and went outside he sneaked around and was in awe of the amount of scrap this place had. Scrap statues standing there for the taking, pointy scrap parts hanging on the wall and round scrap objects that some imbecile filled with dead plants, what a waste scrap thought.

But Scrappy knew that he couldn't collect anything yet as he had to find a way out. But as he was searching for some time already he went back into the cage before he was found by that strange guy, naturally, with a tiny bit of scrap, he collected on the way back.

Several days went by like this and no one noticed the little bot wandering through the palace. The Strange man wasn't looking for him as often as before but Scrappy started hearing painful cries shortly after he was captured so he thought that this strange man must have found a new plaything.

Some more days of exploration and scrap collecting went by and Scrappy found a place on earth that must be the closest thing to being paradise, he was exploring as usual when he suddenly found a giant door entirely made out of the yellowish shiny scrap the humans like so much, and when he opened it Scrappy saw a giant room filled with an ocean of scrap. He nearly couldn't control himself, he knew he had to go away or else he couldn't leave anymore. Scrappy just took a fast dip in the ocean and only took some small scrap pieces with strange colors. Scrappy then quickly left the room even though his mana crystal nearly shattered when he thought about all the scrap he had to leave behind.

At last, it was finally time for Scrappy to leave this place, so he quickly grabbed his loot and also cut up the cage to take it with him. Scrappy then quickly went to the room that belonged to the strange man, he found it two days ago but now he quickly walked up to the bed and as expected the strange man was sleeping in it. Scrappy quickly walked over and cut and collected the scrap pieces the man was wearing, at first Scrappy thought that he didn't want them but then he remembered the times with a shortage of scrap and knew that no scrap was to be wasted and not collected.

After he was done, Scrappy quickly left the building and ran out of the city, he saw a carriage transporting those scaly thingy's that he saw in the water so scrappy followed the road the carriage was coming from until he came back to the sea. He followed the sand strip even though his joints started aching until he reached his makeshift raft. He hurriedly collected his Scrap from the islands and went back to a seaside village. He looked around and tried to find out where he would find the way home. Scrappy that was stuffing a small piece of scrap, that he found attached to a piece of wood with a string eaten by one of those scaly things, in his bucket heard how two people were discussing about the filthy demon nation, while even pointing in a direction.  Scrappy quickly went that way and started his long way back home...

...Ullr was still stuck on the third floor, the rats were just too small and many to see them all before he could be bitten. But Ullr couldn't give up, he even pulled some more players through the second floor but all of them gave up after seeing the third-floor monsters.

The only thing Ullr accomplished was the favor for his brother he used a mousetrap that could catch them alive and sent the obtained rat to his brother. Ullr knew that he could demand additional compensation from his brother but he didn't want to meet him if it was not required. Ullr died several times already but he gave himself an appropriate amount of time to recover his mental state. He also went drinking with Schmied several times this week but Ullr knew that he had to ask him for another favor...

...John and Olaf were working on some basic Steel swords when got a message from Ullr who asked him to meet him again and John agreed to meet him tomorrow.

Forging Swords was still a strange experience for John, all the time he made complicated machinery and now he made some steel swords for his citizens to defend themselves in the upcoming war. Olaf was even smacking his head when he made a mistake or created an item with a quality that was too high. Even though it hurt when Olaf hit him, John enjoyed the time he spent with Olaf even though he didn't understand why he was hit when the quality was too good until Olaf told him that if it's too high his populace wouldn't be able to use them anymore. So both of them worked for the whole evening and created dozens of swords together...
