Chapter 122: Culprit (1/2)

A drone emerged as I comforted Benladann.
I didn't know what it was but… it was strange.
I never thought I would see such advanced technology in this world of fantasy and magic aside from my own system, but that could also be said to be kind of like magic that looks like futuristic holograms…
But this was full-fledged technology, and futuristic at that! I am pretty sure there weren't such drone models on Earth, this thing is completely spherical, white, black, and blue colors, it has a large camera in front of it, and it somehow floats through some kind of mechanism that releases gases from beneath it, like a propulsor.
Benladann was probably still grieving the death of her parents inside even after I had managed to save her parent's souls, but she was a strong girl, quickly wiping her tears and rushing at my side, as she glanced at the thing that was… observing us.
”W-What… is this…?” she asked.
”I think I recognize it a bit, this is actually a technology, not magic…” I said, as I quickly decided to inspect it through Analyze.
Ding!
<Tactical Espionage Drone: FD-X09>
Drone-type machinery created through the use of forbidden technology left behind by the user of the Technomancer Unique Skill.
This Drone comes equipped with magic-fueled propulsors, and the ability to register anything it seems through its HD Camera, connected to the Mother Computer.
It possesses a small AI integrated within it and can self-destruct to inflict damage to a foe, while also being able to fly infinitely as long as there is mana within the Mana Core Battery implemented inside of it.
…
This… It is truly a drone, even if it is fueled with magic, it was created by someone with the Technomancer Unique Skill! Another one?! Have reincarnated people completely changed this place around?
What kind of world have we been reincarnated into?
If we consider Unique Skills… then anything is possible…
”Technology? What was it doing here? Why was it… observing us?” asked Benladann.
”No idea… But perhaps… they might be related to what happened in here…” I said.
”Eh? What… Then…?” asked Benladann.
However, before we could continue speaking, I detected several more Drones near us!
My senses expanded as I saw them, around five of them, all floating above the air watching us with their camera eyes… Whoever was behind this, was probably controlling those Drones!
”T-There are five of them now?!” asked Benladann.
Suddenly, as I was already preparing several projectiles and commanding Skadi to decimate their drones, a sudden voice, as if spoken through a microphone, resonated over the town, coming from all five of the Drones…
The voice of a young adult man resonated through the speaker, it had a particular tone, of someone who was rather ”refined”.
”Hello, reincarnated souls. I have been looking for you for a good while now. My name… well, that doesn't matter, you can simply call me Lord Greenwood-”
”Who are you?! What do you want!?” I roared.
”Oh? A Dragon capable of speaking through psionic waves… Interesting. Is this your Unique Ability perhaps?” asked the man.
What?!
He knows about Unique Abilities and even knows I have one… And if he does, somehow, he might already know about Benladann's too…
”D-Drake… How does he…?” muttered Benladann.
