And so I explained it to everyone .
“This isn’t Magic Learning . I’m just copying it after watching . ”
“But that’s still impressive in itself . ”
As we talked like this, Dorgo finished casting the spell .
And so the communication bracelets were finished in no time .
Magic technology of humans could also create such bracelets .
They were even sold in stores, though they were very expensive . But at least they were not rare .
That being said, human magic was not capable of making them this quickly .
“Mister Ruck . I would not mind at all if you used this magic to make more bracelets, if you find the need . ”
“Thank you . ”
Dorgo then gave the finished bracelets to Leea and the Grand Chamberlain .
Then he taught them how to use it .
“Wow!”
Leea looked very impressed by it .
Her tail was wagging excitedly .
“I’ll contact you as soon as the enemy attacks . ”
“Yes . Contact us anytime if you need help, not just when under attack . ”
“Really? Are you sure?”
“Of course . ”
After discussing it a little further, we returned to the mansion .
Eric and Goran went back to their work .
Kathe tried to skip her own duties, but Dorgo dragged her away .
And I decided to rest in my room for a while .
Only Grulf and Lord Gerberga were close by .
“Grrr . ”
Grulf was resting on the bed .
He had fallen asleep in no time .
“You fall asleep so fast, Grulf . ”
Perhaps he slept so much because he was still a wolf cub .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga was perched on my lap .
I stroked his feathers and thought about the dark ones .
The dark ones were currently targeting the water dragon settlement .
It was very likely that they had succeeded in producing the Fool’s Stone .
And then there was this Most High King .
The vampires who had attacked Kathe’s palace had told me about him .
I believed this person was a vampire king who was stronger than any Vampire High Lord .
The Most High King’s subordinates had been raiding dragon ruins and had attacked the palace of the Wind Dragon Ruler .
The dark ones who were attacking the water dragons were likely also doing it under his command .
And then there were dark ones inside of the royal capital .
Were they all working for the same person?
In any case, there was a reason to believe that they had gotten quite close to the center of government .
It was clear that they had some influence on certain officials .
The dark ones had even taken over Marquis Mastafon’s house .
And then they had forced Philly to make the Fool’s Stone .
Villains like Kabino collected weapons for them and stored their forbidden ham .
It was clear that the dark ones inside of the city were quite weak compared to the ones who attacked the wind dragon palace .
However, it was incredibly dangerous that there were any in the city, to begin with .
They must be using quite a few humans as servants .
But it was still a mystery as to why any humans would want to help them .
“Hmmm . ”
“Cluck?”
Lord Gerberga nibbled at my fingers .
And so I started to talk to him .
“Well, I don’t have much choice but to leave the investigation to the privy council…”
“Cluck . ”
There wasn’t much I could do .
Investigations should be left to organizations that were good at it .
They were probably doing everything that they could now .
“I guess I’ll just concentrate on protecting the water dragons now . ”
As I talked to Lord Gerberga, someone knocked on the door .
“Hmm? Who is it?”
“Mister Locke . Do you mind if I come in?”
“Serulis . Is something wrong?”
The door opened just as I held Lord Gerberga and stood up .
“I hope you have time… I wanted to ask if you would help with my sword practice…”
“Sure . Let’s go to the garden then . ”
“Thank you!”
Serulis smiled happily .
“Grulf is… Hmm, we’ll let him sleep . ”
I would feel bad if I woke him up when he was sleeping so soundly .
And so I left him and took Lord Gerberga with me to the garden .
It was times like this that I was thankful that it was very big .
I saw Nia and Shia on our way there .
“Nia . Serulis and I are going to do some sword practice now . Want to join us?”
“Do you mean it?”
“Of course . ”
Nia was my apprentice . And an Adventurer .
I wanted to teach her .
“Oh! Can I come and watch you?”
“Of course, Shia . ”
“Thank you!”
And so we went to the garden and Serulis’s training began .
We would fight with heavy wooden swords .
“Serulis, you have a natural aptitude . ”
“Hhhh…hahh…thank you!”
While quite out of breath, Serulis swung the sword earnestly .
She was quick and steady in her movements . A definite improvement from before .
After a few more swings, Serulis’s sword went flying out of her grasp .
“Alright, next . Nia, come . ”
Nia was still small but very good .
She also was a natural, and her movements were smooth, like many beastkin .
After Nia, was Shia . She too wanted to practice .
And then it was back to Serulis .
After an hour had passed, Serulis, Nia and Shia were all out of breath and on their knees .
“I don’t have enough stamina . ”
“Mi-mister Locke’s energy is just abnormal . ”
“I’ll do my best!”
“It’s going to be a long road…”
They muttered to each other .
