My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~ - Chapter 249

Chapter 249

The location Dianeia teleported us to was a vast plain .

Staring out across the landscape there were scarcely any animals nor vegetation to be seen .

There was only one thing that truly stood out at this location…

「That’s the Dragon Country’s Mausoleum?」
「Yes that’s right ssu . That’s the only building in the Dragon Country and where the Founding Dragon-sama stays ssu . 」

I could see a huge desolate structure looming in the distance .

It was a building that gave off the impression of an Ancient Temple .

A large stone entrance shaped like a square opened to a long pathway lined with huge huts .

… . it was a structure that seemed as if a giant cave had been used as the basis for it .

Several of the structures were quite run down and even the entrance itself was crumbling despite the grand scale of the building . But despite all that you couldn’t help but question…

「Is this really a 『Country』?」

It’s only a single giant and spacious building left out in the open .

「Most dragons say that ‘it’s fine as long as we have space to rest our wings’ ssu . So the only thing needed was someone to watch over the land or so that’s what I was told ssu . Well, there are many precious stones buried beneath the ground here so it’s fairly rich in resources ssu . 」
「n, certainly, I can feel many, magic stones emitting, magic from beneath the ground…I also smell, different metals and, crystals . 」

Hesty said as she sniffed the air while still trapped in Anne’s iron hug .

「That’s right Aneue-sama . For us who create magic tools this could be considered a mountain of treasures . 」
「It might be a great place for you guys, but for Dragons like me who need a lot of water it’s a harsh place to live . There’s some underground water but it’s not enough . I don’t feel like there are any rivers, lakes, or ponds…」

Manaril was right and it didn’t seem like there were any places to obtain food around here either .

「Nagini, you said that you lived here with your sister, but where did you get food from?」

They didn’t seem like creatures that could live without food or water .

「Ah, my sister went to the forest north of here to get food ssu . 」

Nagini said and pointed far in the distance past the mausoleum .

Certainly I could vaguely make out the outline of a forest in the distance .

It seemed like the Magic Forest near the Fortified City .

「It’s pretty far…she went all that way?」
「Yeah . Also sometimes visiting Dragons would give us stuff . Also since I was weak in magic power I sometimes did my best to walk to a human settlement . The Founding Dragon-sama could also make food with magic but that food was fairly tasteless ssu . Basically we supplied our own food ssu . 」
「… . you’ve had it hard…」
「Ahaha…honestly I wish this building was closer to a place with more food ssu… . but thanks to the difficulties my body was able to overcome Master’s training ssu . Master’s food really motivates me . 」

Nagini smiled wryly as she gazed at the mausoleum .

I could understand how she felt because no matter how large the building was it wouldn’t fill her stomach .

「Well, when your test is over we can grab something good to eat . This is where the trial is right?」
「Yes ssu . It’s just that entering the mausoleum is the privilege of royalty and the right to take the trial is the royal prerogative… . so you can’t follow me inside ssu… . . 」

Nagini said while pointing at a shining cover across the entrance which blocked us from seeing further in .

「What’s that?」
「That’s the observation magic barrier ssu . It prevents those on the outside from seeing within . Also it keeps anyone except royalty from going inside and will shock anyone else who tries with electricity ssu . 」
「So she says Dianeia…it’d be best if you didn’t touch it . 」
「Hm!? W-well I was just curious about a magic spell I’d never seen before…I wasn’t thinking of touching it!」

She said but I doubt anyone believed her seeing as she quickly withdrew her hand .

「Well the magic in this mausoleum is very old and powerful ssu . The outer defenses extend out across the entire surface…once a violent dragon bombarded it with powerful magic for an entire night but it remained unscratched ssuyo . 」
「Huh…that’s some pretty strong security for a mausoleum . 」
「Yes… . . That’s why until I finish clearing the trial it’d be best if you all just took a relaxing walk around ssu . Sorry for how bland it is out here, but if you search around there are some places that catch a nice breeze ssu . There are also plenty of gems and magic stones rolling around so you could also collect some . There’s no one here to complain even if you took them so go ahead and grab what you want ssu . 」

Nagini said as she waved her arm towards the empty plain .

「Hmm, then we’ll take a walk, collect some stuff, and drink some tea while we wait . 」
「Thank you very much ssu… . . th-then I’m heading off ssu!」

As Nagini set off for the mausoleum I could see her mouth quiver a bit .

She was surely nervous so…

「Ahh, Nagini . You don’t have to panic, just stick out your chest proudly . You’ve truly become stronger . 」

I encouraged her to remove some of her nervousness .

I wanted to help her by giving her some honest praise and encouragement .

Nagini took a deep breath and turned back for a moment .

「Ussu! I’ll show off the results of my training and clear it in record time . I’ll come back with a good report ssu!!」

PICTURE

She called out half filled with confidence and half bluffing . However, her expression had brightened up as she entered the mausoleum’s interior .
