Chapter 154
Well, Dorgo sure acted quickly .
He had gone off to talk with the water dragons as soon as he dropped me off and then he had come straight back .
Even ignoring the great speed he traveled at, the talks must have come to a conclusion very speedily .
“I didn’t think you’d be able to make them agree so soon . ”
“Oh, I only had to mention your name, Mister Ruck . ”
Dorgo said, flatteringly .
Kathe also looked happy .
“That is Locke for you . And you did well too, dad!”
Dorgo looked rather pleased by his daughter’s words .
“Well, then . We should head towards the water dragon settlement tomorrow . ”
“They would be most grateful if you did . ”
“And I will take you there!”
Kathe declared excitedly .
But Dorgo answered,
“Well, wait, Kathe . ”
“Hmm? Oh, do you want to take him yourself? But you just did it this morning! It’s my turn now . ”
“That’s not what I meant . ”
“So, what do you mean?”
“It may not be necessary . ”
“Hmm?”
Kathe’s tail drew circles in the air as it swayed .
“Ruck . The thing is, I had something prepared…”
So saying, Dorgo took out a metal board from his bag .
It was as tall as a man and slightly wider than my shoulders .
“What is it?”
“It’s a magic tool with a teleportation circle carved into it . ”
“What a surprise . ”
“I made it myself . ”
“That is amazing, dad!”
Kathe’s estimation of Dorgo was on the rise .
Kathe had looked at the dark ones’ teleportation circle and said that it looked familiar .
The dragon’s had practically invented teleportation circles . And so it was not too strange for Dorgo to use them .
“That’s very impressive… By the way, where does this lead?”
“It is connected to the water dragon settlement . ”
“How very convenient . ”
“Yes . Mister Ruck, if you stayed away from the capital for too long, it would affect the security of the city . ”
Dorgo was very perceptive .
I was thankful for that . This would mean I could protect both the capital and the water dragons .

Then Dorgo took out another metal board . He had an apologetic expression .
“This one is connected to the Wind Dragon King palace . ”
“Ohh! How useful!”
Kathe’s reaction was anything but apologetic .
Her tail went up and down . She looked very happy .
“Perhaps you would rather not have a magic circle connected to the Wind Dragon King palace…”
“Why wouldn’t he?”
Dorgo said fearfully, but Kathe’s head was tilted to the side with a puzzled expression .
If such a teleportation circle was in my mansion, there was a possibility that Kathe would sneak in .
And so Dorgo was worried .
“I think it would be quite useful to have it here . Thank you . ”
“Yes, yes . I can come and help you anytime . ”
Kathe said happily .
As for Dorgo, his face remained serious .
“Mister Ruck . Teleportation circles are useful . But you must also be careful . ”
“What do you mean?”
“The Wind Dragon King palace . Or even the water dragon settlement . If they would fall into the hands of enemies, they would be able to come here . ”
“That…is quite true . ”

“Even if they are not taken over by the enemy, they would just need to enter the room with the teleportation circle in order to enter this house . ”
It was possible that someone could just sneak into that room .
In other words, there would be more routes leading here for the enemy to take .
“I see . I will have to be cautious . ”
“Yes . Considering the risk, you would have to be very careful when installing these . ”
“Yes, I will be careful then . ”
I thought about it for a while .
“I will have to choose a special room to place them in . ”
“That would be for the best . ”
But which room?
Currently, everything that was secretive was kept in the hidden room in the basement .
The entrance to the secret passage and Philly’s laboratory were all underground .
Kathe pondered on this and then said,
“Hmm . I think they should be underground . ”
“No . If they did happen to get in, they would have a clear path to the royal palace . ”
“Oh, I see . That would be a problem . ”
“I think that I’ll have to use one of the spare rooms on the first floor . ”

But it wouldn’t do if they broke in through the windows or walls .
And so I would have to tightly protect everything with magic .
But then again, I didn’t want to make it too obvious from the outside that the room was being protected .
“Hmm . It might take time to prepare everything . ”
I thought about it a little more before making a decision .
I needed a room that could not be seen from the outside .
In the end, that meant underground .
So I had to make a different underground room that was separated from the secret passage .
I decided to use one of the rooms on the first floor for this .
And so I cut out part of the floor with magic and dug a hole through the exposed soil .
“We can set them up here . ”
“I see . That is a good idea . ”
Dorgo agreed .
And then I protected the room with magic . Carefully, so it was very secure .
Then a door was placed over the hole and it was finished .
“I registered you and Kathe, so you can open it . ”
“Thank you very much . ”
“That is a great help!”
I would have to register Eric and Goran later as well .
