Chapter 270: Preparations on the Day Before

Tauro decided to go to the shop of the armor maker Rangas, the younger brother of the blacksmith Angus in Saisii, to buy leather armor once again.

That’s because the next day, the transportation of the capture group would begin.

Even though it was only a pick-up and drop-off, so we would only be traveling in the safe transition room, it was in the depths where the encounter with Pella seemed to have taken place.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, so I can’t afford to be unprepared.

Last time, he was kicked out of the store without being able to shop, but this time, Tauro’s goal was to say what he wanted to do right away and buy only what he wanted to buy.

“Excuse me, .…… I came here to shop.”

Tauro said his business first so as not to make the same mistake as last time.

“Oh! Master! I’ve been waiting for you! Thanks to your advice last time…”

“Wait a minute! I came here today to buy the leather armor I couldn’t buy last time. I’m going to need it tomorrow, so please let me buy it first!”

Tauro interrupted Rangas and again said what he wanted to do first.

“No, listen to me too, Master! After that, I was able to make something good! I want you to take a look at it.”

Rangas said, overriding Tauro’s words.

“No wait! Please let me shop first!”

Not to be outdone, Tauro pushed Rangas’s words back.

“No, master, you don’t have to shop!”

Rangas now denied Tauro’s purpose.

“I have to shop, I’ll be diving into the dungeon tomorrow, so I have to buy something!”

Tauro was not backing down.

If he was pushed into it like last time, he would have to face tomorrow without being able to buy leather armor again, which he did not want.

“I don’t think so, Master. I made the leather armor for you and I want you to have it.”

“Please don’t make me repeat myself! I want to buy the leather armor… what?”

Tauro tried to keep up with Rangas’ momentum, but Rangus’ words stopped him in his tracks.

“I took master’s advice and went back to basics and made a leather armor for you. I don’t know because I don’t have an appraisal, but I feel like I was able to grant something. take it!”

Rangas said.

Then he produced a piece of leather armor from the back of the room.

Tauro looked at the leather armor with his “true eyes”.

“Behemoth Leather Armor”

・Gives “Various Ability Increases”.

is displayed.

Behemoth is a mythical creature that appears in the mythology of this world.

Tauro was flinching inwardly at the fact that the material was a dangerous one.

“This is not right for me to receive ……”

As expected, I understood from the value displayed in my “True Eye” that it wasn’t something that could be received for free.

“I had been saving this material for one day when I was sure of my abilities, but  mentor’s words gave me confidence and I decided to use it. Rest assured, this leather armor is the cheapest part of the behemoth’s right front leg, so it’s not that expensive. Ha ha!”

Rangas said so, but Tauro’s “true eyes” did not see it as cheap.

After all, it is valued at nine platinum coins.

The materials may have been obtained cheaply, but the value of the leather armor itself is outrageous, and this was not something he would accept for free.

So Tauro decided to show Rangas how he would modify this leather armor in front of him.

“Rangas-san, in return for your kindness, I would like to show you my secret tricks.”

After receiving the super-luxury but plainly designed Behemoth leather armor, Tauro took out a piece of leather and a magic stone with a magic circle on it from the magic compartment.

“…… Is that a lost ancient magic circle? And it’s a high-class magic stone that has not been processed yet ……”

Rangas looked at Tauro’s hand with interest.

“Yes. This is a magic circle that draws out the abilities of the materials with the ability of the magic stone and its magic power.”

“What!? If such a thing could be done, it would be amazing, but can you do that with unprocessed magic stones!?”

Rangas stares at the magic circle in surprise.

“I will give you three copies of this in return. However, this magic circle is something that I am not allowed to share with you. I have made it so that it can only be activated by overlapping this magic circle with another magic circle drawn on the leather. Please note that the magic circle will disappear when you peel it off.”

“Three pieces of such an amazing mechanism?!”

“Yes. If Rangas-san thinks he has created a masterpiece, use it, and I think you will get your money’s worth out of this leather armor.”

Tauro then used “creation magic (weak)” to attach leather with a magic circle on the back side of the leather armor, and also attached a magic stone to the surface.

Rangas was amazed at the technique and said,

“I knew you were the master of us brothers!”

As Rangas told Tauro with a look of envy, a voice rang in Tauro’s mind.

“Confirmed one of the conditions for activating the special skill [&%$#] <The person who knows the real thing worshiped by the best>. Acquired [Anti-Inhibition].”

Tauro was inwardly pleased that he seemed to have acquired the ability he had been looking for.
