Chapter 227: The Dragonfolk Village (3)
Inside the chief’s residence, Tauro and his companions were astonished by the objects displayed throughout the rooms.
Ankh stared at rare magic tools, armor, magic swords, and holy swords. Tauro was equally surprised because [True Eye] revealed the value and properties of the exhibits.
Aeris, already accustomed to the unusual magic tools Tauro created, was the only one who remained unsurprised.
The magic sword, magic spear, and greatsword he had made with [Creation Magic (Weak)] didn’t seem inferior in performance. Seeing the treasures around him forced Tauro to reconsider just how valuable his appraisal-blocked creations might be.
After everyone was seated, Chief Ryuga once again bowed to Tauro.
We owe our lives to you. My wife was among those hovering between life and death, and we had nearly lost hope. The herbs you provided and the medicines made from the formulas you taught us saved many dragonfolk. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
He spoke not merely as chief, but as a husband whose wife had survived. Oryo bowed beside him.
Please raise your heads. I did nothing extraordinary. None of this would have happened if Ragune hadn’t traveled all the way to Dansas searching for a cure. She deserves the greatest credit.
Tauro praised Ragune’s efforts.
I was only one member of the group sent to save our people. Someone else would have gone if I hadn’t. Meeting Tauro was chance, and he was the one who chose to help. He saved many dragonfolk lives, so our gratitude belongs to him.
Ragune bowed with the others.
I asked everyone to raise their heads. I’m grateful that Ragune became our companion, so please stop bowing to us.
Tauro’s strained smile finally persuaded them to sit upright.
My apologies. Let us change the subject. I heard that today’s visit resulted from an experiment with [Spatial Transfer].
Yes. What happened was-
Tauro explained how he had combined his skill with Ragune’s [Dimensional Corridor].
Remarkable. I never imagined those abilities could be used together. [Dimensional Corridor] itself is exceptionally rare and valuable. Although Ragune is still inexperienced, her possession of it was why I sent her with the party searching for a cure. It was already extraordinary that she met Tauro, who possesses the [Spatial Transfer] our people have long desired. Even dragonfolk scholars never conceived of combining the two skills.
Ragune had been proud of being chosen as a representative. Being publicly called inexperienced made her shoulders droop.
Is [Spatial Transfer] really so rare?
Tauro was still exploring how to use the skill, so he asked the knowledgeable chief.
Extremely rare. Only a small number of the heroes recorded in our history acquired it. Dragonfolk have sought to conquer dungeons for generations, making [Spatial Transfer] one of the abilities we desire most. Ragune’s acquisition of [Dimensional Corridor] finally made a long expedition seem feasible, and we were preparing a large dungeon-conquest force when the epidemic forced us to reconsider. It proved that even dragonfolk, who have produced many heroes, could still be defeated by disease. Fortunately, you saved us.
Ryuga laughed, then Tauro asked another question.
I was told that [Spatial Transfer] is most effective inside dungeons. How exactly is it used?
After adventurers descend a certain number of floors, a transfer room appears beside the stairs leading downward. It also serves as a safe area. [Spatial Transfer] allows its user to travel freely among transfer rooms they’ve already reached, so a party can return to a deep floor within seconds. That dramatically simplifies dungeon exploration.
Until now, our people had no choice but to descend and return repeatedly under their own power. A few months ago, once Ragune acquired [Dimensional Corridor], we began planning an expedition that might remain underground for as long as a year. Her corridor would solve the problems of food supplies and repairing equipment. [Spatial Transfer] would additionally solve the movement of personnel and even permit travel between distant dungeons. No dragonfolk could fail to desire such an ability.
Ryuga’s voice grew increasingly enthusiastic.
Tauro, however, could think only of the proposed year-long dungeon expedition.
Staying underground for an entire year sounded unbearably grim. Combined with the six-year training regimen, it demonstrated just how relentlessly stoic the dragonfolk were.
