Chapter.15 Lurin’s Lair

Lulin’s Lair was being built smoothly.

As winter approaches, it gets colder. The dwarves were already showing a completion rate of over 80%.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to use the room that was slowly being completed, so I started looking around and inspecting the room.

Dragon Lair is largely divided into the first and second floors.

When you enter Rare from the restaurant, you first see a huge hall. The hall has a grand staircase that leads to the second floor and a huge entrance that leads to the inside of the first floor. That huge entrance is the way into the room of the dragon’s body.

On the first floor, there is a large room where Lurin can polymorph into a dragon without any problems.

This is the room of the dragon body.

Lulin said he didn’t like the appearance of dragons as long as he was with me, but anyway, it’s the most basic part of rares.

This large room where the dragon’s body can reside is made of marble on all sides. And there is a large carpet.

An incredibly large and extravagant chandelier sparkles on the ceiling. The sparkling chandelier is decorated with jewels.

However, because it was the main room, there was nothing else in it.

If you go beyond the room of the dragon body, you will come to a place where Lulin and I once climbed through the hill and ate ramen. At that time, the space where the underground water vein was discovered was now a public bathhouse.

Large hot spring bath.

Strictly speaking, it is not a hot spring, but it is still a storm of magically heated water underground.

“Oh dear! There’s something good here. “It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here!”

“Yes, that’s right. “This is the best bathhouse that utilizes all of our dwarves’ technological capabilities!”

The young dwarf who guided us to the bathhouse began his introduction by speaking awkwardly in human language.

“Hmm, I like it. Then will you please stay out? “I’m going to take a look, but it seems like it will take a long time, so you can do something else.”

“Oh, I understand!”

The young dwarf was so scared by Lurin that he kept his back bent at a 90-degree angle and then hurriedly got out of the bathhouse.

There is a large, round bath in the center. The surrounding area was decorated with a bamboo forest. A magic light shines on it.

The atmosphere is the best.

There are two baths below the large large bath. One is cold water. And one is herbal soup.

This is a bath made with verara, one of the most expensive medicinal herbs in the world. It is a precious substance that helps blood circulation and makes the skin white and smooth.

Usually, the skin of a polymorphed dragon is most affected by the skin tissue of its body. The skin tissue of a dragon, which can be considered the skin of a reptile, is rough and has more pores, so when it polymorphs into a human, it is affected by this.

However, Lurin was a young dragon and a reclusive dragon who spent most of her time in the rare, so her skin was good.

“Lurin, this is the herbal soup. My skin feels much better… .”

with a plop!

Lurin jumped into the herbal soup before she had even finished speaking.

“Puh-haa! Is that really true? Then I will live here!”

“No, if you do that, your body will swell and your skin will be damaged. “Dragon.”

“Then can I eat it?”

The dragon began to drink the water from the herbal soup with a curious look on his face. So I picked him up and dragged him out.

“It doesn’t taste good… write… .”

He frowns and looks at me. My clothes were completely soaked like a mouse.

“That probably won’t work if you eat it? Herbs are divided into two types: those that are effective when eaten and those that are effective when applied. So give in to your skin. “Don’t eat it.”

“Is that so? “Even if I eat it and it works, I don’t want to eat it!”

“Ugh.”

I left the dragon unattended and started walking through the foot bath. A path was built around the large bath, cold bath, and herbal bath, and stones of various sizes were laid on the floor to provide an acupressure effect. It’s perfect for blood circulation.

But it hurts so much. Are the stones placed too closely?

“Aang!”

Lulin followed and was out in about a second.

This time, I sympathize with Rurin’s actions. Even I couldn’t hold out for long and jumped out.

Isn’t there some room for improvement in this? It hurts so much? Or is there something wrong with your health? I thought about it for a moment, but I just threw it away and went into the large public bath.

The large public bath in the center is hot. And it’s spacious. The herbal soup is lukewarm. Each has a temperature difference.

As we enter the large public bath, Rurin follows us in. At first, I got my feet wet because it was hot, but I was so shocked that I went out, and after a while, I put my feet in again, and when I got used to it, I came in little by little. Then he immediately comes next to me and sprinkles water.

And every time she smiles, the diamond earrings she gave her not long ago shake and shine. Because Rurin’s hair is tied up, the earrings are more noticeable than usual. It exudes some mysterious charm. Every time Lurin smiles.

“you… . Ugh, it’s hot. Ugh.”

“Can you see the steam rising from the water?”

“see.”

“It’s better if you take the herbal bath with your pores fully open.”

“Oh oh?”

Rurin, who was trying to sneak out because it was hot, came back in and soaked herself when I told her.

“Anyway, do dragons pay attention to their skin?”

“We live in an era where skin care is important even for dragons. “It’s not nice to see rough guys.”

Lurin nodded as if it was obvious.

What an amazing era.

Lurin then did as I said and went into the herbal bath. If your face is important, dive into the water and come out again and again.

Anyway, if I had to evaluate the bathroom, I really liked the size as well. Dwarves are also reliable workers.

After enjoying a bath for a while, I went up to the second floor, dragging the water down.

When you go up to the second floor, the room in front is the wardrobe. Rurin and I went into that dressing room.

The structure was inspired by modern luxury clothing stores. It’s a clothing room, but it looks like a huge clothing store. Would you say that the clothes you have collected cannot keep up with the size of the room?

He took out a large towel and placed it on Lurin’s head. The towel completely covers Rurin’s body. It’s somehow funny because only the legs are visible.

I took advantage of the opportunity where Lulin’s view was blocked to quickly clean myself and change my clothes.

“Those are the panties I washed!”

“When did that ever happen?”

Failed. Before he could even put on his pants, the dragon put the towel away and started laughing.

“Wasn’t it just yesterday!”

It wasn’t just yesterday. Anyway, what is a dragon’s sense of time? As they live for thousands of years, one year seems like just yesterday to dragons.

“What if I brush my hair so roughly?”

“I do not know.”

Rurin held out a towel to me. I don’t know what I don’t know. No matter where you look, it is a planned action that demands to be done.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I am the one who does it again.

“You used shampoo, right? “Your black hair is also a memory of mine, so you should take good care of it.”

“Are you asking this when you did it for me?”

“yes.”

After carefully cleaning my head, I also cleaned my body. In times like this, stay still. Still. Not even for a day or two.

“Just pick out some clothes and put them on.”

“I had a different problem than when I only had four sets of clothes. Hi-Hi. “I’m rich in clothes!”

Lurin walked around choosing clothes to see what was so exciting. A small monster called Bellaria, captured from the northern lands, wanders around.

It is a monster whose job it is to manage the wardrobe.

Manage temperature and humidity to keep your clothes in optimal condition. Since this monster does not like being too dry or too humid, it has the characteristic of naturally managing its surroundings to the appropriate temperature and humidity.

It is a very useful monster as long as you make it obey its peers.

After Rurin got dressed, we left the dressing room. And then headed to the food warehouse. There is work to do here too.

“Lurin, can you cast a time-stopping spell on this room itself? “The range is a bit wide, but since you’ve been overflowing with mana recently due to the Dragon Orb, wouldn’t it be possible?”

“is it? I do not know. But if you want, I will try!”

Lulin closed his eyes and began to concentrate. A serious Lurin is not something you can see just anytime.

I hurried out of the food storage room. Soon the entire room is engulfed in blue light.

Stopping time is not an easy magic, even for dragons. Sweat began to bead on Rurin’s forehead.

However, I have no intention of stepping down. Time passed. The grueling struggle continues for over 20 minutes.

“Whew! Hehe, it’s done!”

And when the time reached 30 minutes, Rurin wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and exhaled. With this, time stopped inside the large food warehouse.

It is now possible to always take it out and use it in its fresh state.

“Oh, that’s amazing? thank you.”

“you! “If you’re grateful, come here!”

Lulin spread his arms and shouted. It means to hug you.

In cases like this, you have to hug them without moving anything. The difficult magic was successfully performed without any complaints.

I hugged Lulin from the front. And when I patted my back, Rulin also put his hand on my back and stamped his foot.

“Now I can just put all the seasonal ingredients in here. Hehehe.”

“I’m not really interested, but yeah!”

After holding Rurin for a while, she fell. Ah! We protested, but there was still a lot of work to do.

“Stop struggling like a fool and follow me. “Look around the rares first.”

Next is the distillery’s room. It is a place where alcohol is as important as food.

The reason it is managed separately from the food warehouse is because in the case of distilled spirits, it is better if time passes.

Whiskey is a type of distilled liquor that retains a deeper taste and richer aroma the longer it ages.

There are many oak barrels in this room. It is an oak barrel summoned from modern times and is also my treasure. Whiskey is aging in this oak barrel.

In modern times, it varies from 100 years to 80 to 50 years at the time of summoning.

The longer it is aged, the greater the amount of gold bars that can be equivalently exchanged. Anyway, it’s quite a treasure.

In addition, there are various rooms on this second floor. Lulin’s room and my room, which are not the main rooms, but boast a considerable area. And the treasure room. And so on.

It’s still under construction, so there will be another day to explain. I went up to the dining room with an oak barrel.

This oak barrel was needed in addition to the purpose of touring Rare, which is 80% complete.

If you marinate Uva in top-quality whiskey aged in oak barrels, the taste becomes incredibly luxurious. The action of whiskey not only softens the uva, making it less like uva, but also imbues it with a unique scent.

Would you say that it is a very useless luxury, as the price of whiskey made with it is much higher than that of Uva?

“Lurin, tonight’s dinner is really delicious grilled meat.”

I said that to Lurin, who had a hard time using the time-stop magic. Lurin’s eyes began to sparkle with questions about what truly delicious grilled food was like.
