Chapter 234 – Meeting at the Water Dragon Settlement
Meeting at the Water Dragon Settlement
I suppose they had something in mind .
I didn’t know what they were doing, but I would wait for now .
Right then, Princess Leea seemed to have sensed that things had calmed down, and so she began to talk .
‘Locke . That bomb must have been so frightening . ’
“Ah, Leea . Yes, you must be careful not to touch anything you find that looks suspicious . ”
‘Yes, I know that . ’
‘Mister Locke . We should think of some kind of security measure as well . ’
“Mister Morris . Do you have any ideas?”
‘Yes . We could use the water dragon barrier…’
And so Morris began to explain his idea in detail .
He was going to use the water dragon barrier and add the ability to detect explosives .
But it would require very complicated techniques .
I had only just started to learn about the magic that water dragons used . There was still so much left to learn .
“You can do such a thing?”
‘It is incredibly difficult… But I will try . ’
“Thank you . If it turns out to be possible, it would be a great help . ”
As Morris and I talked about it, Leea’s voice came on again .
‘…Um, Locke . Please don’t be too angry if Morris fails at doing it . ’
“Don’t worry . I never had any intention of blaming him . ”
‘Locke . You are so kind . ’
So, it was so difficult that even Leea was worried that Morris wouldn’t be able to do it .
‘I will help Morris as well . ’
“That’s comforting . ”
‘Yes . I will do my best . ’
Leea seemed very determined .
And then I spoke to Morris .
“If there is anything that I can do, just let me know . ”
‘Yes… It would be easier to do it if I could see the actual bomb . ’
“Unfortunately, it exploded…”

The bomb was a magic tool that used mana .
The runes and magic circuits were all converted into energy that spread out .
That’s how they raised its power . And so nothing but the mana remained .
So it was difficult to find out what it had been once it exploded .
“It exploded just as we tried to analyze it…”
‘So even you, Locke, were unable to find out its structure?’
Well, it had been Luchila who was trying to analyze it . Perhaps I would have learned something had I been the one to do it .
That being said, I had been watching it intently from the back . And while it wasn’t enough, I did know a few things .
“Luchila . While you didn’t have long to look at it, tell Mister Morris what you did find out . ”
Luchila was waiting close by .
“Uh, yes . But I really don’t know much…”
‘Miss Luchila, I would be grateful for any information no matter how small . Please . ’
“I understand . ”
And so Luchila started to explain . While it had been brief, she had analyzed quite a lot .
Morris was quite impressed .

“That’s all I know . Did you realize anything else, Mister Locke?”
Luchila had noticed that I was watching too .
“Indeed . But you learned a lot in a short amount of time . I don’t have much to add . ”
“Thank you . ”
“But if I were to add one thing…”
And so I told Morris what Luchila had failed to realize .
“That’s amazing . I didn’t notice that…”
‘Very good, Locke . And of course, you too, Luchila . ’
“What do you think? Can you do it?”
‘I was able to gain more information than I was expecting . So I think it should be fine . ’
“That’s good . ”
Once we had finished exchanging information about the bomb, Morris said:
‘…Mister Locke . I hope that my son isn’t causing you too much trouble?’
Morris sounded very worried . Of course, he was talking about Mors .
Mors had stayed at Danton’s mansion in order to help strengthen it .

“Mors was a great help to us . Thank you . ”
“Yes . Mors did amazingly . He did so much . ”
Kathe also gave her approval .
‘I am glad to hear that . By the way, where is he now?’
Perhaps Morris wanted to talk to his son .
“We had him stay with Danton . ”
‘Did he do something wrong…’
“No, it’s not like that . I told him that I didn’t mind, but he refused to ride on my back . ”
‘I see . Well, that is only proper . It would have been unforgivable for him to ride on your back, Your Majesty . ’
‘…Kathe . When will you learn? You are the Wind Dragon Ruler . ’
Dorgo had been quiet up until now, but he broke his silence in order to scold Kathe .
Apparently, riding on someone’s back had a significant meaning in dragon culture .
“Hmph . But it’s faster that way…”
Kathe did not seem very moved by their opinions .
“To us, riding on someone’s back carries a special meaning . ”
Just then, Dorgo’s voice could be heard from the sky .
