The dungeon has been parasitized

Chapter 115 Magical Talent Show

After the general terms of the deal were confirmed, Leader Sunflower did not rush to take Yanami to find the specific items to be traded.

"But Miss Yanami... do you need these things to arm an army? But I heard you live alone in the Wild Dog Forest."

"It's not exactly an army, but I do need some weapons, enough for about ten people."

Sunflower paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I see."

Yanami didn't say much, but Himawari didn't press the matter further either. Perhaps the information about ten servings was enough for her to know a lot.

"We can discuss the transaction in more detail later. Actually, I have a few more questions I'd like to ask you."

"What's the problem?"

"Hyacinth and the others mentioned to me earlier that you tamed the dragon."

Sunflower's expression was serious. She stared into Yanami's eyes with a hint of disbelief and curiosity, making Yanami, who was not used to this way of communicating, feel a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I am good friends with the dragon."

"Actually... we'd like to know some information about dragons. Would you be willing to share it?"

"If it's something I know, I'll try my best to answer."

"So, you remember that sudden dragon roar from before, right?"

Sunflower asked her question very cautiously.

"certainly."

Do you know why?

Yanami shook her head, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Sunflower's face.

"The timing might be a bit of a coincidence; the dragon's roar happened to be around the same time I came into contact with the dragon, but it actually had nothing to do with me, and I don't know where it came from."

Yanami laid things out straight, and Himawari probably wanted to know this information, but she didn't seem to want to ask directly.

"In other words, it's a different kind of dragon."

"Yes."

Sunflower rubbed her forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

"If only that were Miss Yanami's dragon. With a new dragon appearing, the demonic tide will probably only become more turbulent in the future."

"Hmm... I'm afraid that's the case."

Yanami also sighed.

If so many more Pteranodons come, it will be very troublesome.

At that moment, Klein's voice appeared in Yanami's mind, and Yanami repeated it.

"Miss Sunflower, are you worried about the dragon?"

"Yes...you know, dragons love gems, and we rats are good at mining, so we always have many gems that dragons are interested in."

"So, the dragon will come to you on its own?"

"Yes...that's why we're worried that the newly awakened dragons will come after us."

Sunflower picked up her teacup, took a sip, and hid her bitter smile.

No wonder they care so much about dragons; it turns out they have a deep connection with them.

It seems that it was the right thing to tell them about the dragon. Proactively releasing information should win them their favor.

In addition, it can also give you an advantage in transaction negotiations.

"However... Miss Yanami, my biggest concern is, can dragons be communicated with?"

"I'm sorry, I think it would be very difficult. I was able to tame the dragon because I used some methods that only I could use, which you probably can't use to help me."

"uh-huh……"

Sunflower gave Yanami's hair a meaningful look, then smiled.

"I understand, thank you for sharing the information."

"By the way, although I don't know if this will be of any help to you, I do know that the dragon that has awakened seems to be extremely powerful."

"That's really bad."

………………

Inside the rat tribe's special library, assistants Dandelion and Sunflower brought Yanami there, while Hyacinth and Daisy curiously looked around.

For some reason, Sunflower, as the leader, personally brought Yanami to choose things. Yanami thought Sunflower would be busy, so she had her assistant do it instead.

"Miss Yanami's things are a bit too expensive. I don't think ordinary things might satisfy you, would they?"

"I'm not that greedy, but of course, the better the items I can trade, the better."

Sunflower followed the two into the library, which was filled with various parchments.

These durable parchments contain records of all sorts of magic.

"This contains most of the magic of our rat race. I wonder if it will satisfy your needs."

"Can I choose all spells?"

"Of course... but I don't think you'll be able to take all the magic with you."

"Then I will choose carefully."

At this moment, Dandelion, the assistant, brought over a book.

"Please, this book contains all the magic here. Choose from this book, and we'll appraise it for you after you've made your selection."

"OK."

It was a hardcover book, though slightly worn. The rats not only shared the same language as humans, but also the same writing system, so Yanami had no trouble reading it.

The book contains information about various magic spells of the rat race and is thoughtfully categorized for easy reference.

First, magic is categorized by its different attributes, and then further subdivided according to its purpose. However, all magic is only recorded in terms of its purpose, without detailed incantations.

("Klein, there's so much magic! How do I choose?")

("You can choose whichever you think you'll find useful.")

("Hmm... this is so frustrating, I feel like I want it all.")

("Don't bite off more than you can chew; choose the most useful ones, don't pick too many.")

("I see……")

A magician typically uses only a few spells, partly because magic itself is extremely valuable.

Secondly, there are attribute restrictions on the magic that each person can learn. Different people are naturally good at different attributes, making it easier to learn magic of the corresponding attribute.

However, learning magic of other attributes becomes extremely difficult, or even impossible, and even if one does learn it, one may not be able to apply it flexibly.

Although there are non-elemental spells that can be learned, these spells are usually the type that enhance oneself.

Fortunately, Yanami doesn't seem to have this problem; her only problem now is what to choose.

Offensive magic, defensive magic, support magic, enhancement magic, and even curses—you name it, they've got it all. But the most common magic is earth magic, perhaps because the rat race is good at digging, so the magic is related to digging?

Secondly, there's fire magic, which includes a lot of explosive spells, perhaps related to digging...?

Other types of magic are relatively fewer, but there are still quite a few.

Only now did Yanami and Klein truly realize the immense size of this rat race. To master so much magic, one not only needed a long period of accumulation, but also sufficient wealth and the strength to protect it.

While looking at the wide variety of magic, Yanami selected the magic she wanted, prioritizing those that could compensate for her weaknesses.

After all, Yanami currently knows very few spells, and they are all of limited attributes. The only offensive methods she has are wind blades and fire arrows. Her defensive fire shield can only defend against magical attacks and cannot defend against physical attacks, which is also one of her weaknesses.

Furthermore, they lack healing magic. Although they can rely on Klein for healing, it's always better to have their own.
