Chapter 221
The next day, I got up as soon as the sun rose into the sky . Then I woke up Grulf, who was sleeping next to me .
“Grulf . Let’s take a walk . ”
“…Grr…”
Grulf replied lazily . It seemed like he wanted to sleep more .
“We have a busy day ahead of us . So I won’t be able to take you out on your walk any other time . ”
“Groo… . ff . ”
Grulf yawned and stretched his limbs .
And then we went out on a morning walk . Shia, Nia, and Serulis tagged along .
They had also gotten up early in order to practice .
“Groof!”
Grulf had been tired at first, but he was now running around excitedly .
However, his walk would have to be quite short today .
“Grulf . It’s time to go back . I have work to do . ”
“Grrr…”
He looked a bit disappointed but came back obediently . He was a very smart wolf pup .
After that, we ate breakfast and then returned to making the magic tools .
Kathe, Mors, and even Luchila worked hard .
Thanks to them, we were able to complete 12 magic tools shortly after midday .
“Now we can deliver these to all twelve of the beastkin tribes . ”
“That’s true . We should do that as soon as possible, once we’ve installed one in this mansion . ”
“Yes . I can take you there when we need to go!”
And so I installed the magic tool in Danton’s mansion .
Danton watched us with a serious expression on his face .
“Good . It’s done . ”
“This is a tremendous help, Locke . And you too, Miss Kathe and Mister Mors . Thank you so much . ”
“Don’t mention it! It was very educational for me!”
“I am happy to have been of service . ”
Kathe and Mors looked pleased .
After that, I explained to Danton how it was used .
“Now, dark wraiths should find it impossible to enter . And once the barrier rejects them, there should be a sound . ”
“They can’t enter at all? That’s amazing . ”
“It’s because we are using Lord Gerberga’s feathers . And also Grulf’s nails . ”
“The God Fowl’s own feathers… Lord Gerberga and Grulf, thank you!”
“Cluck!”
“Groof-groof!”
Lord Gerberga flapped his wings . Grulf wagged his tail proudly .
“Locke . Is there anything that we should be careful about?”
“Yes . It will continue to stay activated if you leave it alone . And when you hear something, you’ll know that there is a dark wraith nearby…”
“And we should go kill it? That’s very useful . ”

“Yeah . But this is only for this mansion . It does not cover the entire village . ”
“Hmm . So it won’t necessarily react if there is a dark wraith within the settlement?”
“Yes . Don’t think that you’ll hear anything if there is a dark wraith on the outskirts . ”
“I see . Thank you . ”
And then I remembered something important .
I needed to strengthen the walls as well . Mors had cast some strengthening magic on them .
However, it was only temporary, and it would not last long .
“I shall cast some strengthening magic on your walls . ”
“Really? Wouldn’t that be a hassle?”
“Not really . Don’t worry about it . After all, they might destroy the magic tool one day, so it would be safer if your walls were reinforced . ”
“I see . Thank you, Locke . ”
The barrier would stop dark wraiths .
However, it was possible that an arch vampire could force their way through the barrier and break the device .
And so it was necessary to strengthen the walls of the mansion so they couldn’t enter the building .
And so I turned to Kathe, Mors, and Luchila .
“I’m going to cast some strengthening magic now . You should watch . ”
“Understood . I am very happy to be able to see you use magic up close . ”
I will learn from it too!”
“Yes . I will watch closely!”
And so I worked slowly so that they could see what I was doing .

Luchila also observed with a serious expression .
It was good that she was curious . And so I worked even slower, so she could understand .
“If you do this, the durability is increased . ”
“Mister Locke . How do you raise longevity?”
Mors asked .
“Ah, because your magic was just temporary, Mors?”
“Yes . I have trouble keeping it stable if I want it to last more than 2 or 3 days . ”
“In that case, you leave this part like this but change…”
I demonstrated it in front of him .
It was the same magic I had cast on my mansion and the secret passage .
Regardless if you were a vampire or sorcerer, you would have trouble getting in .
“Now the strengthening magic will last forever . It’s similar to what they do in the palace’s treasure room . ”
“But I heard that it takes the palace sorcerer’s months to do?”
“That’s because they don’t have enough magic energy . But you and Kathe should have more than enough . ”
“I see . That’s probably true . ”
Wind dragons and water dragons were of the advanced species .
And Kathe and Mors were in the royal family, which meant they were especially powerful . There was no comparison between them and human sorcerers .
They could do in minutes what it took the palace sorcerers months .
“But I don’t think I could do it in a few minutes . ”
Luchila said sadly . But there was nothing abnormal about not being able to match a royal dragon .

“I see . Well, as long as you can do something similar, it doesn’t matter if it takes longer . ”
“Yes, I will do my best . ”
Luchila was still growing . Her magic would grow more powerful eventually .
And who knows what she would be capable of then .
I looked towards Kathe and Mors .
“Well, that’s how it’s done . Kathe . Mors . Do you think you can do it?”
“Leave it to me . I will do it . ”
“I will try to . But tell me if I do anything wrong . ”
Mors seemed confident . Kathe seemed like she would just give it a try, regardless of the results .
And so Mors and Kathe tried doing it . They were both quick to learn .
And they finished casting the magic on the walls in no time .
“Mister Locke . How is it?”
“What about my magic?”
“You both did it perfectly . ”
“Gahahaha! I see!”
“I’m very happy to hear that from you, Mister Locke . ”
Once we were half done with our work…
“I will do the rest of it . You should go and deliver the magic tools to the other mansions . ”
Mors suggested .
