Complete Vintergard Into the Wastelands

"It is exactly the same." He tilted his head. "Maybe a bit fatter?" Hanno wondered. Last time he fought them, it was a trio and it wasn't as strong.

"Someone that can make something similar or better..." Hanno muttered, opening his UI and checking his friend list, scrolling to check a particular name.

Last time online 4 years ago.

A sigh escaped from his lips, and his fist clenched and opened again to make the UI disappear. "The only person I could think of is Kepler, but I doubt she will log in out of the blue after all this time." Hanno said, reminding himself of the ex-Witch Ops buddy.

"I know a Magia that is very smart. She was the one that fought the Sentries with me last time, but she was still a newbie at the time. I do wonder if she got better by now... it could be an option. Her name is Corsair." Hanno told Majolica, then wondering at her question with a legitimate curious expression.

"That's... true. I wonder why? I do know the robots in there are extremely strong, so I think they are worried about potential losses? Or that laser you say could be like... a threat to make sure they won't come close." Hanno said, not wanting to call anyone a coward, but perhaps that could be the case.

"Hehe, mysteries upon mysteries. I guess I'll just have to keep picking at all of the questions until I finally get some answers! Though a part of me does want to see the ship with my own eyes, hehe, I think it might be too dangerous to get that close."

Majolica looked towards the center of the city. Thie mystery of the giant ship still loomed over Majolica's head and it seemed like anytime she felt she was getting nearer to an answer, more questions suddenly arose.

"It's very annoying all of this, hehe. I just wanted to know who or what destroyed my house and if it was an accident or on purpose. I also want them to give me or build me a new house. Well, at least I did but now I'm thinking maybe I'll just take that ship that fell and live there as a new house. That's a long ways away though, first we have to figure out how even get close to it, hehe. Then once we can get close, how to get inside. I think this may be a long-running quest

Half talking aloud and half talking to herself, Majolica looked to Hanno.

"Hehe, I got what I came for and we even got to battle a little bit which was nice for old time's sake, hehe. What are you up to these days? Have you made new friends? Joined any groups or anything, hehehe?"

"At some point these questions will hace an answer, and with a bigger team, we could get our hands on that ship in no time." Maybe an army wouldn't be able to infiltrate that place due to the lack of discretion, but a special ops group would.

"You could also make a good temporary house until we conquer that big ship." A small suggestion that could work in early terms.

"For now... I made a few, yeah. Patrolling Brisshal to keep newbies safe and trying to find UI Locked players proved to be a good way to meet people." Hanno said with a small smile, getting the pieces of the robot and tossing them back to the inventory so they could bring it back.

"I've also joined Lion's Arms. They have this whole initiative of trying to keep newbies safe, and they have information about a lot of things, all of this match with what I have been doing." He said, turning to look at Majolica.

"And you, Majolica? What have you been doing in your return?"

"Hmm... I've thought about a temporary house, hehe. But right now I think I'm okay wandering. When it's time to settle down and have a house, I'll figure it out then. There are so many new things in the world now that I want to see them though, hehe."

As Majolica listened to what Hanno had been up to lately she smiled.

"It's good that you've been helping people, hehe. It also sounds like you've been very busy! I agree that trying to find UI-locked people is a good idea as well. If anyone needs protection, it's especially them though other than protection I'm not sure how else we can help them, hehe. I'm sure some people are working on it, but it's beyond me, hehe."

The mention of the Lion Arms brought back memories. It was actually from the Lion's that the Witch Ops got its start. At first, the Witch Ops was supposed to be a group that would take on the most dangerous missions, though that dream never really came to fruition.

"Hehe, you really went all-in on protecting people, huh? But that's good. People need a shield and yours is the biggest one I've seen, hehehe. As for me... I don't know yet. I want to gather more information about this world and I guess figure out where I fit into it, hehe. A lot has changed so it's almost like starting over."

"I feel you. But I honestly miss having a house in here. Hell, it is really annoying to just have campfires or the Lion's headquarters to cook stuff. I need my own place." Hanno said with a slight frown, hoping that he could have a place again someday, as soon a possible too.

A small grin then crossed his lips at the compliment from Majolica. It was nice to hear that from someone he respected so much.

"I have been thinking on the possibilities. There is a person I found that was also interested on helping others, so I am not alone in this mission." There were the lions too, but the issue of a faction was that while they could deal with macro problems, micro problems needed an attention of a special group.

"You can bet I am ready to protect anyone. And of course, my shield is yours too, Majolica." He said firmly, nodding at her words.

"I am sure you will be successful in your journey, who else is better to find knowledge than a powerful witch, right?" Hanno huffed, getting everything ready and casting a glance to his friend. "Just make sure to give me news of your shenanigans." He said, looking outside of the house and slowly pushing the door open, preparing their path to go back to a safe spot.

"Ah, hehe, well if you only ate candy and mushrooms you wouldn't need to cook! That might be something to think about, hehehe. Though I don't know if non-witches can survive the witch diet. I do agree that sleeping outside can be most uncomfortable as well, hehe. Still, I think I've more or less gotten used to it by now, I do still miss beds though, hehehe. "

With this, Majolica got ready to take her leave

"Yes, I will keep you up to date on all my findings. I'm sure whatever we discover about the Dragonfall and all of magitech creatures roaming around the area will be very interesting to a lot of people. Hehe, our discoveries may even change the world! Who knows, hehe, but yes searching out more people who know more about magitech is the next step and I think I have someone who's considered an expert in mind, hehehe."

Packing up the pieces of the magitech, Majolica gave Hanno a final wave.

"We'll see each other soon and I'll keep in touch, hehe. Stay safe!"
