Chapter 161
After that, we took a tour of the rest of the settlement .
It felt like some great migration because of all of the dragons following us .
The water dragon settlement was in a place where a giant lake connected with a giant forest .
The great lake was on the south side of the settlement .
“Does the barrier cover the lake as well?”
“The barrier covers about half of the lake . ”
Grand Chamberlain Morris answered Eric’s question .
So you could not approach the settlement if you tried to come from the outside .
The lake was covered by a thick, magical mist that made you lose your sense of direction .
So even if you managed to move through the water in a straight line, it would be very difficult to get through the barrier .
“So it is more strongly defended than the forest?”
“You could say that . ”
Then Shia asked,
“Um, do water dragons not live underwater?”
“We generally live on dry land . ”
“I like to swim too . . ”
Leea said happily .
Water dragons liked to swim and could breathe underwater .
They had very powerful water magic and breath .
That being said, they still did not actually live underwater .
“It is a very big and beautiful settlement . ”
“Isn’t it!”
Leea said with pride as I praised it .
Fifty water dragons lived here . So of course it would be big .
And there was a lot of space between the houses .
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf looked happy as he ran around with Leea on his back .
The water dragon settlement was so big that Grulf could get plenty of exercise here .
Maybe it would be a good idea to come here for walks instead of going out of the city .
After that, we returned to the water dragon palace .
We separated from the fifty water dragons here for now .
“Ruck! I have some tea and sweets! Run, Grulf!”
Leea said excitedly . She was still riding on top of Grulf when she grabbed my hand and pulled me after them .
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf looked very happy . His tail wagged as he ran .
We all then moved to the palace drawing-room .
As the private room was the first room we had gone to in the palace, this was our first time in the drawing-room .
And since the palace was so huge, it took us a while to get there .

There were giant desks and chairs in the drawing-room .
But there were also human-sized desks and chairs as well .
“Those are for dragons and those are for humans!”
“I see . So you have both . ”
“I had them newly prepared when I heard that you were visiting . ”
“That was very kind of you . ”
If you squint, you could see four human-sized desks off in the distance .
Perhaps they were for royalty . The royal family was small, so they wouldn’t need too many of them .
As we took our seats, the Grand Chamberlain brought in the tea and sweets .
“Here, Grulfie . Have some of this . ”
They had prepared snacks for Grulf as well .
“Groof!”
Grulf ate it happily .
As we relaxed, drank tea and ate the food, Dorgo began to talk .
“Now, now . You have all gotten a good look at the water dragon settlement . So let us get to business . ”
Dorgo pulled out bracelets from his bag .
One was human-size . The other was for dragons .
“Are those for communicating?”
“No, these are just orichalchum bracelets . I am thinking of casting magic on them and turning them into communication bracelets . Then I shall connect them with the ones gifted to us by King Eric the other day . Is that alright?”

We had received communication bracelets from Eric .
They allowed Eric, Goran, Kathe, Dorgo and I to talk to each other .
And now Dorgo was going to connect ours with Leea and the Grand Chamberlain’s bracelets .
“Yes, that would be very useful . ”
“Thank you . ”
“A communication bracelet! I want one!”
Leea said happily .
And so he took all of our bracelets and lined them up on a table .
And then right in front of us, Dorgo cast magic onto them .
The ordinary bracelets would turn into communication devices and connect with ours .
This showed how amazing Dorgo was as a Sorcerer .
It was very educational for me .
As it was not a spell used on me, I couldn’t use Learning .
But I thought I still may be able to copy it if I watched .
Of course, it would be polite to ask him about it first .
“Um, Mister Dorgo . ”
“What is it?”
“Would you mind if I watched you cast this magic?”
“What do you mean?”
“Uh, I can copy magic if it is done in front of me . ”
“What?”

Dorgo’s hands stopped and he suddenly looked at me seriously .
No one else here was a Sorcerer, so they would not be able to copy it .
But I was a Sorcerer .
“I guess it is not a good thing after all? While it may be too late, I can leave now if you wish…”
“No, it is not bad… But can you really replicate it?”
“I don’t know if it will be accurate enough to call it a recreation…more of an imitation maybe…”
Still, it was the creation of magic tools with dragon magic .
If it was a secret the dragons wanted to keep, maybe they wouldn’t want me to copy it .
“I shall go then . ”
I said . But Dorgo frantically shook his head .
“No, please! It is not something that we would not want you to copy! I just didn’t think it was possible . And so I was surprised . ”
“Locke is very impressive . I wouldn’t know how to do it no matter how hard you tried to teach me . ”
“…Kathe, maybe you should study more seriously . ”
Dorgo hissed at her .
On the other hand, Leea’s eyes had lit up .
“I don’t understand it either! You’re amazing!”
“Locke can use Magic Learning . ”
“Aye, he is good at learning new magic very quickly . ”
Eric and Goran said proudly .
