As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"Alright, Abigail, this is the main street. It should be safe here. You should hurry back. It's not as fun outside as you think."

Abigail smiled slightly as she watched Jessica turn and leave.

This world seems quite interesting.

Chapter 186 This World Is Not Simple

After separating from Jessica, Abigail's next concern was naturally finding a place to stay. However, Abigail was already quite adept at this.

Just as Abigail was about to find a sucker, cheers suddenly erupted from the street.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw people on the street running towards the cheers, as if there was something that everyone was paying attention to.

Seeing this, Abigail followed suit, wanting to see what these people were cheering for.

After walking a short distance, Abigail saw a street surrounded by a large crowd, with people standing densely packed on both sides, seemingly waiting for something.

"Hey, uncles, what are you waiting for standing here?"

Abigail approached a man from behind, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him a question.

The man turned around with some confusion, looking at Abigail behind him. His previously impatient expression instantly softened.

"Little sister, don't you know? The Empire's Third Mech Regiment is passing through here today. They are the Empire's main force, and they just won a battle against the Kingdom's army."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome. But this news about you, little sister, has already spread throughout the entire Saike region a couple of days ago. How come you didn't even know that?"

Abigail didn't respond to the man's question. She had already turned and left the crowd, then went to a building on the side of the street. She had no interest in squeezing through the crowd.

Once atop the building, Abigail looked into the distance. From there, she could clearly see a large contingent of mechs marching along the street. As they passed, the civilians cheered loudly, though she couldn't tell if the cheers were genuine or orchestrated. In any case, it was none of Abigail's business.

What Abigail is most concerned about right now is the design of these mechs that are walking over.

Unlike the industrial mechs that Jessica piloted before, these mechs have a complete humanoid form and are as tall as 10 meters.

"These mechs seem rather interesting!"

Abigail sat on the edge of the roof, swinging her legs as she watched the mechs below with a hint of interest. How powerful these mechs were? That wasn't Abigail's concern; they didn't seem particularly formidable to her anyway.

"Should I get a mecha to play with? It sounds like it would be really interesting."

The parade didn't take long. The mech squad only had 20 mechs in total, and there were obvious battle scars on them, which confirmed what the old man had said earlier: that the mech squad had just won a victory.

After the mechs passed by, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Abigail also jumped from the top of the building.

After watching the mecha parade, Abigail had a new idea.

Since this world is about fighting with mechs, let's find a mech to play with. According to Jessica, if you want to be qualified to pilot a mech, you need to have a mech license first.

Although Abigail was confident in her abilities, she was not so arrogant as to think that she could obtain the mecha qualification certificate without ever having piloted a mecha before.

So, she's now looking for a place where she can practice her skills.

Otto Roy, the wealthiest businessman in Seko, is known for his shrewd business acumen. However, what people don't know is that he's a mecha enthusiast. When mechas first appeared, he even wanted to become a top mecha pilot, but his family wouldn't allow him to do so.

There was no other way; under his family's demands, he could only become a businessman. Although he couldn't pilot a mecha on the battlefield, he could still use his connections and money to buy one and pilot it for fun, satisfying his cravings.

On this day, he was training in his mecha at the training ground of his manor, just like any other day.

However, unlike usual, while sitting in his mecha, he noticed a little girl he didn't recognize in the corner of his training ground.

This is very unusual. You see, this area is his private property, and ordinary people from the outside world are not allowed to enter. He also doesn't have any guests visiting today, and the servants at home know that they shouldn't be disturbing him at this time.

Moreover, this little girl was exceptionally beautiful; by all accounts, she didn't look like a lowly servant. Even ordinary commoners wouldn't possess such an air of refinement.

While Ultraman was deep in thought, the little girl had already disappeared.

Otto looked around, puzzled, but couldn't find the little girl's voice.

However, at that moment, a voice like that of a lark suddenly came from above.

"Hey, sir inside, can I borrow your mech for a bit?"

Upon hearing this voice, Ultraman was startled: When...?

He then raised his head. Inside the mech was a holographic projection system, through which the pilot could see everything around them. Therefore, even what appeared to be blind spots were visible to the pilot.

At this moment, a little girl was sitting on the head of the mecha. Ultraman was puzzled; he didn't know when the little girl had gotten onto his mecha. However, just as he considered this question, he realized something else: his mecha had just been in motion, so how had this little girl managed to get onto his mecha's head without him noticing?

At the same time, Otto also realized that this little girl was the same little girl he had noticed before but had never seen before.

At this moment, Abigail looked at the unresponsive mech with some confusion. Could it be that the person inside the mech couldn't hear her? But that didn't make sense either; if they hadn't heard her, the mech wouldn't have been standing there motionless.

Then Abigail tapped the mech's head with her hand.

dong dong dong...

"Hey, uncle inside, can you hear me? If you don't respond, don't blame me if something happens."

"who are you?"

The sound of Abigail tapping her hand on the mecha interrupted Ultra's thoughts.

"Oh, you're finally answering. I'm just a little girl who happened to be passing by and saw you piloting a mecha. I'm also interested in mechas, so let me play with it."

Listening to Abigail's words, Otto didn't quite understand. His first reaction was... this little girl is mentally ill.

This is actually a result of different values ​​when looking at things.

Indeed, for ordinary people, it would be quite unusual for a stranger to suddenly ask them for their valuable possessions. But for Abigail, such behavior was perfectly normal.

"Who are you? You have invaded my private property, and I have the right to put you in jail."

"Didn't I say? I'm just a little girl passing by. Of course, if you want to ask my name, you can call me Abigail."

“Abigail…”

Otto slowly murmured the name, racking his brain to see if he had heard it before. But after thinking it over carefully, he was certain he had no recollection of the name.

One of the secrets to being a successful businessman is to remember all the people of high status and prestige, and even to know their children and close associates. Only in this way can you avoid letting opportunities to cooperate with these influential people slip through your fingers.

So, after Ultraman carefully recalled the name Abigail and realized it wasn't anyone of high renown or status he remembered, he became less cautious than before.

"Commoners, get off my mech right now, or don't blame me if you fall and get hurt."

Abigail had no idea why the creature inside the mech had suddenly changed its attitude. However, the reason wasn't important; since the creature wouldn't come out on its own, Abigail wasn't without other options.

Abigail jumped down from the mech and took out the Black Star. It had been half a year since she acquired the Black Star, but Abigail hadn't used it much.

It's not that I've never used it, but I mainly used it when traveling in other worlds. I mostly dealt with monsters, since there are many worlds, but not as many civilizations as one might imagine.

"Black Star, activate!"

"Yes, Master!"

Immediately after a burst of light, a black staff adorned with golden patterns appeared in Abigail's hand.

However, Abigail originally just wanted to test the strength of the mech, but the moment Abigail summoned Black Star, a very surprised voice suddenly came from inside the mech.

"You...you are a member of the kingdom!"

"???"

"People of the kingdom?"

Abigail was curious. Although she didn't know the specifics, the surprised expression on the pilot's face suggested that he wasn't lying. In other words, the Kingdom didn't use mechs for combat like the Empire, but rather fought individually like herself, and the weapon he used was probably a staff.

Could it be that the kingdom was actually founded by the people of Midcherda?

However, if that were the case, the Empire might have already perished. Judging from the previous 3rd Mech Regiment, the Empire's strength was far inferior to that of Midcherda. Not to mention Midcherda's numerous magical technologies, even a powerful mage could easily defeat these mechs.

Although Abigail has not yet tested the specific combat capabilities of these mechs, based on past experience, she can be fairly certain of their abilities.

Just as Abigail was pondering this, the weapons on the enemy's mech began to charge.

"Is the hostility really that great?" Abigail watched the mecha's movements with some confusion. Although the Empire and the Kingdom seemed to be two hostile nations, it shouldn't be to the point of starting a fight on sight. Even though she wasn't a citizen of the so-called Kingdom.

However, it seems unlikely that it will be possible to communicate with this person. So let's beat him into submission first. It just so happens that I'm now somewhat interested in this so-called kingdom.

The charging process didn't last long; in just one second, a beam of magic shot towards Abigail. Abigail stretched out her hand, and a black magic circle appeared in front of her.

The beam from the mech was completely ineffective against Abigail's protective barrier. Abigail also roughly estimated just how powerful the magical beam emitted by the mech was.

As it turned out, the mechs' magic beams were utterly insignificant compared to Nanoha and her friends' magic cluster cannons. They couldn't even compare to ordinary artillery fire. However, their power wasn't weak either; they could easily blast down a building.

However, such power was clearly insufficient in front of Abigail.

Abigail shook her staff, and a black magic ball, under her control, crashed into the mech.

Somewhat unexpectedly, as the magic ball flew over, a protective shield appeared on the mech. However, this shield was not very strong. Although it consumed half of the magic ball's magic power, the remaining half of the magic power still broke through the shield and hit the mech.

boom......

The magic ball struck the mech, sending it flying backward.

The other driver seemed completely unaware that he was falling, and simply sat upright on the ground.

However, after a brief observation, Abigail noticed that while the protective shield on the mech's exterior was indeed subpar, its material itself was quite good. The outer layer of the mech didn't seem to suffer much damage from her magic ball attack.

"I wonder how strong an attack your mech can withstand? Let's give it a try."

As Abigail spoke, she pointed the front of Black Star at the mech.

Immediately afterward, black magic gathered at the front of the black star. Abigail prepared to first test whether ordinary artillery fire could penetrate such a mech. If not, she would then unleash a magic cluster cannon.

However, Abigail's idea did not come true. The other party was not as tough as Abigail had imagined. Just as Abigail gathered her magic power and prepared to make a move, the other party suddenly raised his hands to surrender.

Chapter 187 A Surprise Arrives Unexpectedly

Abigail did not continue her attack after the other party surrendered. There would be plenty of opportunities to test it later. What Abigail wanted to know more about the kingdom was really going on.

After dispelling the magic at the front of the Black Star, Abigail walked towards the mecha.

The other party was clearly sensible; seeing that Abigail had stopped attacking and was walking towards him, he immediately opened the cockpit and climbed out.

“A powerful figure from the Kingdom of Mido, I apologize again for my earlier offense. Please forgive me. I am the owner of this manor, and my name is Otto Roy. May I make amends for my previous offense?”

“I am not from the Kingdom of Mid. I ask you, why do you mistake me for someone from the Kingdom of Mid? Is it because of this staff in my hand?”

Ott nodded his head.
