CH 271

Tauro, who had been given leather armor by Rangas, a blacksmith who specialized in protective gear, thanked him and headed home.

So, while walking down the street, he used his “true eyes” to quickly check the abilities he had acquired.

When I use ‘Presence Detect’ on a dragon people male warrior walking down the street, I feel nothing.

This is evidence of inhibition-type skills against presence detection.

There were quite a lot of people in the dragon people’s village who possessed inhibition skills, and Tauro’s “Presence Detection” ability was often useless, but when the new ability “Anti-Inhibition” was activated and “True Eye” was used, those who use inhibition skills are highlighted.

The belt mimicking Pella also has inhibition skills, so when viewed through the “true eye,” the outline of the belt shines through and is seen as highlighted.

“I knew it was an ability I wanted,……. The “Anti-inhibition” seems to be an ability that cancels the opponent’s inhibition skills. This will greatly reduce the probability of being caught by surprise.”

Tauro joyfully used “Anti-Inhibition” and probed the surroundings with “Presence Detection” confirming that there were many dragon people who were peering at him.

Of course, they were not directing bad feelings at me, but gratitude, a very pleasant feeling.

Tauro felt once again that the Dragon People were so grateful to him.

When he returned to Drago’s house, he decided to check the leather armor he had received from Rangus again in the garden, this time with his ‘true eye’.

Behemoth leather armor

A one-of-a-kind piece of leather armor that had been remodeled by Giro Sugar and was originally made by Rangas, a top-class craftsman. It has been given “various ability increases.”

・By a secret art, “physical strength increase (strong)” and “instant death resistance (strong)” are granted.

・The skeleton bishop’s magic stone gives it a “light (holy) attribute enhancement.

“The Behemoth’s potential is awesome. …… I wanted to strengthen my physical strength at once. And “instant death resistance (strong)” is one of the rarest of the rare. …… The magic stone was to strengthen the light attribute as expected, so this will increase the attack power of the small sword and the bow.”

Tauro rejoiced and put on his leather armor on the spot, then took out a round shield from the magic storage and equipped it.

He then walked over to a rock in the garden that was much larger than a man.

Like Ragune, Drago possesses the “Dragon Knight” skill, but he also possesses the “Magic Knight” skill, and in order to improve this skill, he has been researching and studying magic on a daily basis.

For that reason, Drago was in his room today, writing a thesis on forbidden magic.

Suddenly, he saw Tauro, his guest, from the window overlooking the garden.

He began to equip himself with some kind of protective gear.

“What is he doing?”

Drago was curious and opened the window to talk to Tauro.

Tauro was just approaching a large rock in the garden.

“What are you doing?”

Drago asked.

Tauro said, “Ready! And with a mighty effort, he lifted the large rock up to waist height.

“What?”

Drago froze.

“It’s heavy! Good…  “

Tauro lowered the big rock back down again.

With a thud!

The large boulder made a dull noise and returned to its original place.

“…… I feel like the rock has just been lifted ……. Is it just my imagination ……?”

Drago could not believe what he was seeing, so he went out into the garden to check and called out to Tauro again.

“Tauro-dono. What was that just now…?”

As Tauro was testing the power of the armor’s grant, Drago came out of his room and called out to him.

“Ah! I’m sorry Drago-san. Did I interrupt your studies?”

Tauro replied apologetically to Drago.

“No, that’s fine, but just now, I feel like this big rock has moved…”

Drago still doubting his own eyes, put his hand on the big rock.

He looked down and saw traces that the rock had moved.

He knew that what he had seen was real.

Drago looked back at Tauro with renewed surprise.

“I’m sorry. I was actually testing how much power I could exert by combining the “Arm Strength Increase (Strong)” granted to this shield and the “Various Ability Increases” and “Physical Strength Increase (Strong)” granted to this leather armor. I was able to move this big rock, but this is the limit. Ha ha ha.”

Tauro laughed as he explained about the ability of the armor.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no……, Tauro-dono. You are saying something outrageous right now, aren’t you? Normally, the ability of a magic stone processed by a magician is limited to a medium level of magic stone at most. You are raising it? And what is this ‘various ability increases’! I’ve never heard of such a dreamy ability grant!”

“Ah, this is the dwarf Rangus–“

Tauro explained that the maker of the leather armor had given it to him when he made it.

“Is it the grant of that Dwarf blacksmith?! ─ ─ This is a surprise ……. Perhaps he has more talent as an armor maker than the Dragon People. We must let the chief know as soon as possible so that this will be favored even more than before!”

Drago bowed once to Tauro and ran to the chief’s house.

“…… Was it so outrageous that Drago-san was surprised? Rangas, you must have been a great dwarf just like your brother.”

Tauro’s magic circle was also amazing, but Tauro admired the dwarf brothers without thinking about it in the slightest.
