Chapter 223: About Spatial Transfer
The four members of Black-Gold Wings had finished their meal at the Resting Pavilion, the Adventurers’ Guild-run inn, tavern, and dining hall known for its miso dishes. On the way home, Tauro remembered something and turned to Ragune.
I just remembered that you seemed to know something about my [Spatial Transfer]. How did you know about it?
Before Ragune could answer, Ankh reacted in shock.
What!? Leader, you have the legendary [Spatial Transfer]? If that’s true, you can go anywhere you want!
Ha ha… Unfortunately, mine is defective. It consumes a huge amount of mana and only moves me about one meter. The amount it uses seems to have dropped considerably since I acquired [Magic Manipulation] (Extreme), though.
Tauro had been searching for a practical use for [Spatial Transfer]. He already had one idea, but hoped Ragune’s knowledge might broaden the possibilities.
According to dragonfolk lore, [Spatial Transfer] displays its true power inside dungeons.
Inside a dungeon?
Tauro tilted his head. He had acquired [Spatial Transfer] inside Babylon, but he didn’t understand why that mattered.
Our legends say that dungeons are born from dimensional distortions. The mana emitted by a dungeon assists [Spatial Transfer], allowing the user to move instantly between the transfer rooms established on its floors while consuming very little mana. There’s also a closely guarded dragonfolk secret: the skill can even transfer its user from one dungeon to another.
So it only works properly in dungeons…?
Instead of being delighted by the rare information, Tauro sounded disappointed.
W-Why do you sound disappointed!? This is incredible! You could return instantly to transfer rooms you had already reached and travel straight to a dungeon’s deepest explored floors. The entire dragonfolk village would hold a feast for someone with that ability!
But dungeons are generally controlled by nations. I can’t simply enter them, and I have no particular interest in dungeon exploration.
Most dungeons were indeed managed by governments. Ordinary adventurers couldn’t even approach them, much less enter. Only a handful of legendary adventurers with official permission, along with authorized government personnel, were admitted. Tauro’s participation in the expedition to the kingdom-managed Babylon dungeon had been an exceptional case.
I see… You have a point. Most dungeons are state-controlled, but there are also dungeons managed by the dragonfolk.
Ragune had casually revealed one of her people’s greatest secrets.
Oh! That’s a secret, of course. If the chief finds out I told you… Kill me…!
The chief must have been terrifying indeed for her habitual phrase to sound so sincere.
We’ll all pretend we never heard that. I don’t intend to enter one anyway. Still, your explanation gave me another idea for [Spatial Transfer], and I want to test it.
What are you planning? I’ll help however I can, but all I have is information about the skill.
Ragune tilted her head and waited for Tauro to explain.
First, in case this succeeds, I need to confirm something. Would it be acceptable for outsiders to suddenly appear inside the dragonfolk village?
Ragune stared at him. Aeris and Ankh, who had been quietly listening, looked just as confused. The dragonfolk village was more than a month’s journey away.
Outsiders are allowed to visit, but the village is protected by many layers of barriers, detection wards, and concealment magic, so approaching it’s almost impossible. You saved our people, Tauro, so you would certainly be welcomed.
Then let’s go to the forest outside Dansas and start experimenting!
You’re actually bringing everyone to one of your experiments? That’s unusual.
Aeris was surprised. Tauro normally tried to conduct dangerous experiments without telling anyone.
This one is impossible without Ragune. And if it seems likely to work, I want all of us, including Ankh, to visit the village.
Tauro took the lead, turning away from the road home and heading toward the village gate.
