CH 267

After strolling around the village of the Dragon People, or rather a town in scale, ……, Tauro returned to the room he had rented from Drago, Ragune’s brother.

He went out into the garden and immediately brought out and laid out the several magic stones and clothes he had purchased that day, as well as two shields, one large and one small, and a sheet metal body armor.

“I can modify the basket and shin guards separately ……, it doesn’t matter.”

Tauro muttered to himself and picked up the clothes first, then took out a sewing kit and a square piece of fabric with a magic circle drawn on it from the magic storage and sewed it on the back of the clothes.

The front side is exactly where the magic stone is to be inserted.

“I heard that the fabric of this dress is made from the threads of the Giant Hell Spider, so with my magic circle and this magic stone, I should be able to demonstrate my abilities…”

Tauro put the magic stone into Aeris’s clothes and examined it with his “true eye.

“Giant Hell Spider’s Priest’s Clothes.”

This is a high-class priest’s suit that has been remodeled by Jiro Sugar.

The wearer is given “resistance to poison,” “resistance to paralysis,” and “resistance to fire” by a secret spell.

The skeletal necromancer’s magic stone gives the wearer “increased magical power” and “instant death resistance”.

“Good, that should compensate for Aeris’s weaknesses.”

Tauro nodded at the result and put it back in the magic storage.

Next, he turned to the two shields, one large and one small.

Tauro took the bag of gold coins out of the magic storage and picked up the smaller shield and placed it on the ground with the back side facing up.

Then, holding one magic stone in his right hand and a gold coin in his left, he chanted, “Creation magic!”

For a moment, a blinding light illuminated the entire area, but the light soon disappeared. On the back of the small shield in front of him was a magic circle and a magic stone fitted in the center of it.

Tauro took a breath, let out a sigh, and let out, “After all, creation magic is tough ……,” and gulped down a magic recovery potion.

Then, he took out a plate with a magic circle drawn on it from his magic storage, put the plate on the shield so that it covered the magic circle with magic stone drawn on it, and this time, he chanted the elementary fire spirit magic and made the fire hotter with “magic manipulation (extreme)”.

Yes, I am going to weld the plate to the backside of the shield.

“It will take a little longer, but this way is less burdensome.”

Tauro put on his tinted glasses before he knew it, laughed as he welded, and finished it in no time.

“Then I’ll use  the ‘true eye’ for this one, too,”

Tauro appraised it.

“A guardian doll round shield.”

A one-of-a-kind round shield, remodeled by Giro Sugar.

It has “Physical Resistance”, “All Magic Resistance (Weak)”, and “Increased Durability” by secret magic.

The magic stone of the Great Scarlet Ape grants the user “increased arm strength (strong)”.

“Okay, with this I can also act as a shield in case of emergency.”

Satisfied with the result, he puts it in the magic storage and turns to the large shield.

With the gold coins and magic stone he had taken out earlier in both hands, he used creation magic to embed another magic circle and magic stone on the back side of the large shield, and then welded them together to complete the process.

“This is the second time, so it went smoothly.”

Satisfied, Tauro gulped down the magic recovery potion.

And again, he appraised it to check the result.

[Mirror Turtle Rectangular Shield.]

A one-of-a-kind rectangular shield remodeled by Giro Sugar.

It grants “magic reflection,” “physical resistance,” and “light magic resistance” by a secret art.

The magic stone of the magic rock turtle gives “physical resistance”, “earth attribute strengthening”, and “range protection”.

“It’s not what I expected, but I think it’s good for Ragune.”

Tauro was satisfied with this as well, and put it in the magic storage.

Finally, Tauro turned to the sheet metal body armor for Ankh.

Since this has already been given ‘lightening’, he decided to set up a magic circle that can only demonstrate the abilities of the magic stone.

As before, he takes out a gold coin and embeds a magic circle in the back of the sheet metal body armor.

Since there was a dent to accommodate the magic stone from the beginning, it was easy to consume the magic power of creation magic.

“The rest is to fit this magic stone. Then, the appraisal.”

“Sheet metal body armor made of wandering ghost armor”

・A sheet metal corselet with “lightening” that has been slightly remodeled by Giro Sugar.

・With the magic stone of the flying sub-dragon, “Strengthen Wind Attribute”, “Wind Attribute Resistance”, and “Increase Agility” are granted.

“…Yeah! Would this help us take advantage of the Ankh’s offensive capabilities?”

Tauro was satisfied with the response he got from this as well, and put it away in his magic storage.

The only thing that remained was a magic stone that he had planned to put in his own leather armor.

“Hmmm… What should I do about the leather armor…. I want to buy it at Rangas-sans’ place, so I guess I’ll just have to hold out.”

Tauro put the magic stone in the magic storage and finished all his plans for the day.

It was a few days later, the day before going underground in the dungeon, that he visited Rangas’s store again and was presented with the leather armor.
