American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

What kind of metal is this?

However, Qui-Gon Jinn no longer had the chance to find the answer, as the spaceship had already closed its hatch and sped into space.

Moreover, not only Qui-Gon Jinn, but even Josie, the main planner of this interception battle, and Anakin, who cooperated with him, did not know the outcome of this battle.

Because Anderson and his group of nine were initially positioned as "tools," or even expendable pawns!

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, they will become wanderers from another universe in the Star Wars universe.

As for their fate, perhaps we will only know the answer when Anakin comes of age, becomes a true Jedi Knight, and returns to Tatooine.

However, as long as Anderson and his companions survive this challenge against the Sith Lord, they will have no problem surviving on Tatooine. After all, Josie had prepared a large amount of wealth for them through Anakin.

Although they had spent a considerable amount of money over the past month on various technological products available on Tatooine, they still had enough left to live comfortably for decades while waiting for Anakin's return—provided, of course, that Yuri, Josie, or Anakin remembered them more than a decade later.

Just as Anderson and his nine companions joined forces to face the Sith Lord Darth Maul, Anakin embarked on his own Jedi journey.

In the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, Josie is visiting the Jurassic Park that she herself is building on an Indian reservation.

"The project is progressing very quickly. Those robots are really useful. At most, the park will be officially open in less than six months!" Standing on the top of a flat-topped mountain, pointing to the bustling construction site below, Aldo, the president of Blackwater Company and part-time construction supervisor of Jurassic Park, said to Josh beside him.

Although there are labor replacement plans, intelligent robots have not yet been commercialized due to various limitations. After all, the gap is too large, and there is not enough opportunity yet.

When the time is right, when those underworld figures start causing trouble and nationwide unrest, that will be the best time for intelligent robots to truly emerge!

At that time, there will be dirty, messy, and rude black robots that create chaos, and clean, polite, and intelligent robots that treat their owners like gods, working 24/7.

Any normal person knows how to choose!

However, various preliminary preparations had already begun long ago—that is, making a movie.

Of course, we'll be selling robots in the future, so we definitely can't be making movies like Terminator or The Matrix, where artificial intelligence rebels.

Instead, they make various positive robot science fiction movies.

For two consecutive years, Josh Smith's DreamWorks Pictures invested heavily in new technologies to adapt and bring a series of classic robot movies, such as WALL-E, Robot Butler, Big Hero 6, and Artificial Intelligence, to the big screen.

And you know what? This film series caused a worldwide sensation in this era.

However, despite the sensation, only insiders at DreamWorks and its parent company, Continental, knew that although these films had a great impact and high box office returns, they would actually lose money by the time the actual cost was calculated.

Because most of the technology is far beyond the current level, although it is all Josie's own technology, the group's internal operations certainly cannot take the technology out for free; it must be clearly priced and accounted for.

Therefore, the losses on the books are truly alarming.

Of course, no matter how much money is involved, Josie or Continental Group will lose out; it will all be used for later marketing expenses.

Moreover, losing money has one advantage: you don't have to pay taxes...

Although the robots have not yet been officially launched due to various factors, they have already begun to be used in many of Continental's secret industries, especially in mega-projects like Jurassic Park, where they can reduce labor costs to the minimum and speed up the progress.

Otherwise, if it were built by manpower like in the Jurassic Park movie, not only would the cost be astronomical, but there would also be countless security vulnerabilities.

Moreover, since the project is located on an Indian reservation, and Aldo's Blackwater Group has set up a base there as an outer defense, there is no need to worry about secrecy.

"Great, I look forward to your good news!" After touring around, Josie was very satisfied with the progress of the project.

Aldo was immediately beaming with joy upon receiving praise from his boss and good friend.

But at that moment, he noticed that Josie's expression changed slightly.

"Boss, is something wrong?" Aldo asked immediately.

“No, there’s nothing wrong. I just thought of something. Arrange a quiet room for me; I need it!” Josie said, shaking her head.

Just now, he received a transaction communication request from Abidis Jr.

Normally, Abidis, who is still just a child, would almost never take the initiative to contact Josie.

The fact that he's contacting Josh now means he's either encountered something or gotten his hands on something good.

“Okay, boss, let’s go to my office! It’s absolutely safe there and we won’t disturb you!” Aldo didn’t ask any more questions and immediately took Josie to his office.

"What's going on here?" After arriving at Aldo's office and using the divine power of the Ea sword to scan and confirm that there was nothing unusual in the office, Josie finally connected with Abidis's communication.

However, upon seeing the environment deep within Abidis on the other side, Josie frowned deeply.

Because little Abidis was found locked in a cage!

“Sorry to bother you, Josie, but I need your help right now… As you can see, I’ve been arrested!” Little Abidis said with a bitter face.

"Who arrested you?" Josie asked, frowning.

"No, not human, but a damned troll!" Little Abidis said bitterly.

Chapter 247 Troll

Troll?

Why a troll?

Josie was very surprised to hear Abidis's answer.

Even until the complete destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, trolls remained one of humanity's greatest enemies. For thousands of years, Lordaeron and other human kingdoms, together with Quel'Thalas (then the high elf kingdom), continuously annihilated all the trolls in the eastern kingdoms.

However, as one of the oldest creatures in Azeroth, trolls are incredibly resilient. Although they have been scattered across the land, they are impossible to eradicate, especially the Amani trolls between Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron, who are practically unkillable.

The problem is that the Abidis family's fiefdom is located in the heart of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, in the northwest of Silverpine Forest, which is the area north of Silverfang Keep that Warcraft players are more familiar with.

That area was surrounded by human towns, fiefdoms, and fortresses, with the vast ocean to the west, leaving no room for trolls to survive.

If that's the case, how did Little Abidis, as an important heir of a human noble family, end up being kidnapped by a group of trolls in the heart of the human kingdom?

Can these trolls fly?

Thinking of this, Josie selected an armed robot from her warehouse, preparing to rescue Little Abidis, while looking at the boy with a serious gaze and asking him a question.

Upon hearing Josie's question, the boy lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

Under Josie's serious questioning, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Good heavens, this little guy was bored at home, so he secretly ran out of his castle, hitched a ride on a caravan carriage, and tried to sneak out of the city to play. But he accidentally fell asleep in the carriage.

When they woke up, the caravan was almost in the Tirisfal region—although the Earldom of Abidis was right next to the Tirisfal Woodlands on the map, reality wasn't a game, and they could cross the map in a few minutes on foot.

In reality, the seemingly short distance between the two places is actually tens of kilometers.

The Earldom is hundreds of kilometers away from the royal capital, Lordaeron.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. As long as Abidis revealed his identity to the local garrison or noble lord, they would usually send him home in no time.

But this brat just wouldn't have it.

Since they were already there, the kid thought they might as well go to the capital and have some fun, while also hoping to find some good stuff in Lordaeron and then trade it with Josie for more fun and delicious things.

Although Abidis was young, he had been to the capital before.

However, due to his age, he was always closely watched by his parents or servants whenever he came before, and could not run around. So, except for some relatively important places, it was almost as if he had never been here before.

And so, at the young age of six, Abidis accomplished the feat of storming the royal city alone.

Then, while wandering aimlessly around the royal city, he ran into another brat.

Alexander Mograine, the future Ashbringer, a renowned hero.

But no hero is born overnight.

In childhood, even a great hero could be a mischievous kid.

Clearly, both Mograine and Abidis are.

The Mograine family is also a military noble family in Lordaeron, and their titles are much higher than those of the Abidis family, making them true dukes.

In Azeroth, only dukes can be called high lords.

This is why Alexander Mograine and Tirion Fordring will be known as Highlords in the future, while Abidis will only be known as Grand General; the difference lies in their titles.

House Mograine and House Tirion Fordring were both very important Highlords of Lordaeron. House Tirion's fiefdom is Hearthglen, which is very familiar to Warcraft players, while House Mograine's fiefdom is Northvale—in the game, this is a ruin located northeast of the Eastern Plaguelands, near the Chapel of Light's Hope. When Lordaeron was destroyed, Arthas, who had fallen to the Death Knight, led his army from here to attack Quel'Thalas in the north, burning this place to the ground.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Mograine family hates the Scourge, as their wealth was completely destroyed by Arthas.

In this era before the orcs invaded, and before the Silver Hand and the Scarlet Crusade appeared, the Mograine and Tirion families, one in the east and one in the west, jointly guarded the northernmost region of Lordaeron, monitoring the forest trolls of the north and ensuring the safety of the communication routes between Stratholme and Quel'Thalas, important northern cities of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Because of this level of status, even if Mograine is not one of the first generation of paladins, he can easily become one of the highest leaders after joining the Silver Hand.

Perhaps it was fate's arrangement that, even with Josie's intervention, Abidis, who was still just a child, by chance encountered his destined best friend, Mograine, in Lordaeron.

With the help of some toys and snacks that Josie left for Abidis.

The two quickly became very good friends.

And through Mograine, he met his third mischievous friend, another future Great Lord, Tirion Fordring.

And so, under the arrangement of her two friends, Abidis settled down in the capital and had a great time. Under Abidis's guidance, the three of them quickly became the children's leaders among the noble class of Lordaeron—because King Terenas was still very young at this time, and although he was already married, he had no children.

Therefore, Tirion and Mograine are actually the two most noble children in the entire Lordaeron. Under normal circumstances, apart from princes from other kingdoms, who would dare to offend them?

The Abidis family, whether they failed to find any clues about young Abidis or disappeared after discovering that the boy was playing with the two dukes' sons, remains unknown.

After the three spent some time together, Mograine, one of the three mischievous kids, suddenly had the idea of ​​going to the northern border of Lordaeron to see his father.

Unlike the Abidis family, which consisted of only counts, young Abidis could grow up peacefully in his own territory.

Mograine and Fordring, as the sons of a duke who held considerable military power, had lived in the capital since childhood.

The guise was to provide better education and living conditions for the children of the two families, but anyone with a brain would know that these two children were actually hostages left in the capital by their respective families.
