Orbis Online
216. Second Journey

   "Can you repeat? Maybe I heard it wrong."

   "No, you didn't hear me wrong."

Reus explains again about a bottle of clear water that he is holding at the moment in response to Nocht who is now wildly distrustful of what Reus said.

True, the bottle filled with clear water was none other than Dragon Miracle Tears, a magical consumption item was given the Arshwind The Anarchy Lord that could heal all sorts of injuries in a single drop as long as the user's level was no more than 500.

Nocht's face paled as if he had lost all his blood when he made sure Reus wasn't lying to him. He had little idea of the existence of this Item through ancient tales and stories, but Nocht had never expected that he would find this Item in person.

   "Is this real? These tears really came from a living dragon? The nation that is said to be the most powerful in the entire world and treasured its high self? And he gave this to you?"

   "I don't know how to answer all your questions, but yes, I got this from a living dragon voluntarily."

Nocht rubbed his eyes and pinched his own skin several times to make sure he was not dreaming, in fact he grimaced slowly feeling pain. Nocht realized this was real.

Dragons are an ancient nation that has long been unseen in the world—or at least in the Plainfest continent. They are touted as the strongest nation as well as the ruler of the world in the past, their strength and abilities are very difficult to be matched by the people of today.

Indeed, in Dragonreign or relief on Ruins of Seven Dragon Kings there is no mention of dragons are high self-worth creatures, but in various literacy this is like public knowledge. No one denies it.

Reus understood Nocht's reaction after learning of the existence of the Dragon Miracle Tears and letting the Blackmoon Dwarf figure calm down, he himself could hardly believe it when Arshwind gave this precious Item to him.

Let alone the Dragon Miracle Tears, Dragonblood Gist and Equip Dragon series stored in his Inventory might be said to be Items whose rarity exceeds Ultra-Equip, especially after his Special Trait Set was revealed.

Reus felt all this was too much he had received from the figure of the great dragon, yet he could not refuse the items at this exorbitant price either, moreover, he has a class that is able to use any Equip without limited Level Requirement or Unique Class Equip. Same with Unique Class Skill.

After Nocht felt calmer he immediately agreed to Reus' terms. Even if Reus asked himself to make several Ultra-level Equip at once, Nocht would immediately support him in order to get a drop of the Dragon Miracle Tears.

Reus added that the Dragon Miracle Tears was only as deep as healing an injury and had never been used to remove the curse so he asked Nocht not to expect much, but Nocht did not take issue with it.

He claimed getting the chance to see even using the Dragon Miracle Tears in this legend alone was more than enough.

   "Fine, then let me help you clear up these things so that the business here is finished sooner."

   "No need to do that, you're gonna make me owe you more."

   "We're on the same side, Mr. Nocht. Don't you think so."

Reus laughed for a moment before raising both hands up exerting Psycokinesis on every item he could reach within range, then raising everything at once made Nocht gawk great.

   "So, where should I put all this?"

   "Ah? Oh, in the basement."

Reus nodded slowly and stepped towards Nocht's designated basement with dozens of objects hovering behind him, leaving Nocht still glaring.

It took some time for Nocht to regain consciousness. He scratched his head in confusion while muttering softly.

   "Did I drink too much last night to make me hallucinate?"

***

After all the trade items in the Black Pomegranate Store were cleared and Nocht was also ready, Reus activated Hyper Switch while holding Nocht's shoulder. Surely after leaving an object that could be used swapped to return to Dragnar in an instant.

Nocht's gaze blurred for a moment before changing from the basement of his shop into a room that was quite foreign to him.

   "Okay, we're here."

   "Hmm? What did you expect? Circling and chanting ancient spells accompanied by strange poses?"

Nocht could not reply to Reus' words. He admitted in his heart that the thought had crossed his mind.

Reus did not bother Nocht comments, he himself experienced an unbelievable Hyper Switch exchange when he first tried it. Switching places from a great distance in just a split second was simply too amazing.

   'If in the real world I could also use this skill, I would no longer have to bother driving an angkot to campus or anywhere.'

After muttering inwardly, Reus then opened the door of the room and found a pair of guards standing in front of him saluting him in surprise.

   ""We've been waiting for your arrival, Mr. Reus.""

   "Oh, quick response too."

Reus rubbed his chin for a moment in admiration for the speed of the circulation of Crimson Castle information even though it was less than ten minutes after he contacted Crystina about his arrival.

   'Well, I think it's because of the player messaging system.'

He can guess with a good name and the influence of Crystina on Aulcrat thanks to his action some time ago that shocked the universe of Orbis Online, which is very popular, Crimson Castle could place some kind of ambassador or Legion representative in the palace so that his sudden arrival could be welcomed by the palace party.

Given Reus and Aulcrat's good relationship, Crystina, who was Reus' partner, also got special privileges, especially when carrying the name Crimson Castle. In a short time the Legion managed to exert considerable influence in this city.

   "Oh, this place really is the palace of Lavore Kingdom."

Nocht clucked in awe as he stroked his chin trying to close his shock upon seeing the passageway outside the familiar room.

   "Ah, could it be that you are Mr Nocht Alvarion? The royal forge that His Majesty is looking for?"

   "Right, it was me. How is His Majesty Aulcrat doing?"

   "He's been a little busy cleaning up the problems caused by the person who possessed him for the past five years, but His Majesty will definitely be happy to see your arrival."

   "Is that so? Then I'll just wait in this room until Your Majesty can clear the time. It's okay, isn't it, Reus?"

   "Of course, that's one of the reasons why I asked for this room."

Reus let Nocht rest in Aulcrat's room, he understood a little bit enough of the shock that Nocht had never seen from him that it took time for the Blackmoon Dwarf to digest everything.

While waiting for Nocht to rest, Reus decided to take a walk around the palace first to pass the time. He can indeed return to Dragnar soon after the Hyper Switch Cooldown is over, but Reus does not feel like doing so.

   "With this I can breathe fresh air without the cynical and threatening gazes of the residents of Bailendra Kingdom. I can't afford to waste an opportunity like this."

After muttering so Reus walked while whistling enjoying the peace he did not feel long enough, then a thought flashed through his mind. Instantly also his steps stopped accompanied by a sour face.

He just remembered an important thing that he had forgotten in Dragnar.

   "If you think about it, won't I be able to send Ibane here with this skill so she can get out of the country?"

Reus was pensive for a while realizing his stupidity.

If only Ibane found out he was far away in Bailendra Kingdom using Hyper Switch, it is not impossible that Ibane would throw a big protest hiding something like this from him.

A few seconds later Reus brushed it out of his mind and walked back with light steps.

   "If it happens, then it happens, I can't do anything but apologize and set him here if he asks."
