Volume 1 Chapter 45 First Teleportation
The morning after my conversation with Elliot, the Master of the Clow Merchant guild, we visited the weapon shop once again.
Today, we were planning to use [Teleportation Magic] to go to Aquaflow Cavern... but for some reason, the location specified by the messenger from the merchant guild, who came to the inn, was not inside the Clow Merchant guild's trading post, but this shop. I don't really understand the reason.
We still had a little time until the scheduled time.
While waiting for the magician from the Clow Merchant guild, I looked around the shop since there was nothing else to do.
"So, there's this lady named Elvira at the reception of the adventurer guild in Voltana--
"Well, something like that happened. It was..."
In front of the counter, Fatina and the shop owner, Toto, were deeply engrossed in their conversation.
Both of them might get along well because they are both beast people.
On the other hand, Mel, wearing a dark green coat she purchased at Toto's shop, is standing in front of a mirror, turning to the side and then turning to the back.
I heard that this coat Mel is wearing was made from the thread spun by a spider-like monster. It is said to be lightweight, sturdy, and even helps with the recovery of magic power.
It seems to be quite a useful equipment for a magician. Since she didn't have proper equipment, she bought it as an addition.
In addition, I bought four days' worth of food and a map of the surrounding area of Trasverum, just to be safe.
I don't know the exact distance to the lower layer of Aquaflow Cavern, but it's our first time visiting the dungeon.
Considering the possibility of returning midway and taking into account the use of [Teleportation Magic] for transportation, this amount should be enough.
After waiting for a while, the door at the entrance of the store was opened.
"Hello everyone, good morning."
The person who greeted us was a man who looked to be around twenty years old, with slightly messy long blonde hair that reached his shoulders. He was slightly taller than me. His face was well-proportioned with no noticeable scars, giving off a gentle and kind impression.
He was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and wore a leather chest guard that covered his heart, along with a black coat.
Although he looked like an adventurer magician, his appearance was a bit too neat, which felt a little out of place.
The man who walked inside the store came towards us and bowed while placing his left hand on his stomach.
"I am Chester Clow, the magician of the Clow Merchant guild's [Teleportation Magic]."
He said so while lifting his head.
"Clow? Does that mean you are Elliot-san's...?"
"Yes, I am Elliot's son, who is the Master of the merchant guild."
Chester responded to Mel with a bright smile.
The magician of the Clow Merchant guild was his son.
"Good morning, Chester-san. I'm sorry for the sudden request."
"Oh no, if it's a request from Toto-san, I'm more than happy to help. I heard about what happened yesterday from my father. I would have come right away if I wasn't absent... Are you injured ?"
Chester said so while approaching Toto and looking at her.
"Yes, I was helped by these people here, so I'm fine. Please don't worry."
Toto replied to Chester with the same smile as yesterday. Her ears on top of her head were slightly shaking.
It seems that the two of them know each other. They must have some connection since Chester is the son of a business partner in the merchant guild.
"Thank you for protecting Toto-san. Please let me express my gratitude as well."
"No, I just happened to be there. Besides, we can use [Teleportation Magic] thanks to you, so there's no need for any debts."
"I'm glad to hear you say that. I heard that everyone wants to use [Teleportation Magic] to go to the dungeon near Trasverum. Just to be safe, would you like me to explain the constraints of my magic?"
So, by the way, Mel mentioned that there are limitations. It might be good to ask about it.
"We're not familiar with [Teleportation Magic] either, so it would be helpful if you could teach us."
"Understood, I will explain. First, basically, with [Teleportation Magic], you can only travel to places that the caster has visited before. Additionally, the distance that can be traveled, the number of targets, and the weight that can be transported depend on the caster's magic power. In other words, the higher the Level Cap, the greater the effect."
I see, so it means you can't freely teleport anywhere you want.
"Well, for example, if you use magic consecutively multiple times, can you travel far?"
"That is possible, but once this magic is used, the caster's magic power will be almost depleted. Therefore, in order to use it consecutively, you would have to use a large amount of potions until you fully recover. So, repeating that multiple times is difficult."
"I see, I understand..."
It seems convenient, but there are also many constraints. If you have to deplete your resources multiple times to travel to the dungeon, it might be better to just travel by carriage.
"Can you teleport from Trasverum to the dungeon in one go?"
"Yes. My Level Cap is already at 40, the maximum level, so I think I can teleport with everyone here to a location near the dungeon. However, I cannot go directly to the immediate vicinity of the dungeon or inside the dungeon."
"Huh? You can't go inside?"
"Unfortunately, I cannot teleport to places like the dungeon where [Teleportation Magic] interferes. It's like there's a wall blocking the way even if I want to pass through."
"So, does that mean you can't go from inside the dungeon to the outside?"
"Yes, that's correct."
(...It seems it's not that easy after all.)
We are in a dungeon. I thought that if we could use [Teleportation Magic], we could turn back midway, but it didn't work.
My question has been cleared by the explanation he just gave. Let's have the teleportation done right away.
"I understand. Excuse me, but could you please teleport us?"
"Okay. Now, I'll use [Teleportation Magic] right away. Please gather near me."
As Chester instructed, the three of us gather near him.
Then, the ground began to glow, with Chester in the center.
"Everyone, please be careful."
The moment I heard Toto's gentle voice, my vision was filled with light.
The next thing we knew, we were no longer inside the store, but in a forest full of plants.
Nearby, we could see the large river marked on the map. It seems like we moved close to the dungeon in an instant.
"Wow! This is amazing! I suddenly found myself in a completely different place!"
Fatina looks around her in surprise.
"Yes, this is near the dungeon. This time I will accompany you to the dungeon."
While saying this lightly, he took out a potion bottle from his pouch and drank it all in one go. It's probably restoring magic power.
"It's dangerous inside. I don't think it's necessary to accompany us."
"However, if I leave here, you won't be able to use [Teleportation Magic] on your way back, and I've never been inside a dungeon before, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."
Certainly, it would be natural if I had to part ways with Chester here, but I would have no choice but to walk back home.
"Besides...I can't leave behind the person who helped Toto-san."
"You're quite close to her, aren't you?"
"Well, well...um, it's not that bad, but I think I'd like to get to know her a little more."
Chester smiled bitterly, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Hearing his words, the two girls looked at Chester with curious expressions.
After walking along the river for a while, a large swell of ground suddenly appeared in front of me.
The inside was like a fairly wide cavity, and it seemed like people could just walk through it.
As I stared beyond the cavern, several men and women with luggage appeared. They each wore armor and robes. I guess the party of adventurers has returned.
And this is--
"This is the entrance to the dungeon."
Yes, Chester said.
