Chapter 324: Selain, The Princess of Cosmos... Part-2.



After the group finished eating, they got up and left the dining hall.

Selain asked the maids to show them all their respective rooms where they would be staying for the time being.

Looking at his room, Rio nodded his head in satisfaction.

'This place is indeed quite good... In the Elven Empire, the elves had modernized their houses, but here in the Dragon Valley, things are still more traditional. I can see the more traditional architecture...'

'This place is indeed worthy of being called a palace...'

Dragons themselves don't make anything; in fact, the dragon men are responsible for making everything in the dragon valley.

The dragon men's technology is far behind that of humans and the elven race.

'But at least they have all the necessary things like the internet, smartphones, etc... but they don't have mana powered cars or any highly advanced technology, I guess...'

Dragon men have wings that are fast enough to put an airplane to shame, so they don't really have any need for traveling vehicles.

Unlike the human race, where the vast majority of people are ordinary folk who aren't even awakeners, dragon men are all people who can use mana inherently, and they are quite good at it.

Dragon men might be much lower in numbers when compared to the human race, but they are all strong people with strong physiques.

'I am more curious about how they made this separate 'space' for themselves... I don't think they have the technology to do it with machines... They likely did it with some magical construct or a powerful spell...'

Rio walked over to the window, glanced at the blue sky, and thought,

'To be able to replicate the main world and make this separate space seem so real, they really must have put in a lot of efforts...'

The Dragon Valley was not really mentioned much in the original novel.

Fade only met a few dragons in his journey to the peak of the world, and those dragons barely gave any useful information on the dragon valley.

Fade himself never went to the Dragon Valley person, which is a good thing for the people of the Dragon race as a visit from a guy like him only brings massive bad luck and disasters of unimaginable scale.

'But he was invited to come here... So why didn't he come here with us now? This is strange...'

Rio and the others don't know yet that Fade and Kira have gone missing; they only know that the two of them have gone somewhere, and as Fade has missed this event, it means that this Dragon Valley doesn't hold much importance to the plot.

'Even in the novel, the Dragon Valley didn't seem to have been mentioned much... I guess this place really doesn't hold much importance to the main plot of the novel...'

'In other words, there are likely no 'chances' here for me to steal, which is quite an unfortunate thing...'

Although Rio was a bit disappointed, his expressions didn't change much, and his face still remained as expressionless as ever.

"Hoh, so even the 'champion' gets bothered sometimes?"

Just when Rio was looking at the setting sun on the horizon while thinking about his next plans, a familiar voice appeared in his ears.

He tilted his head and found that Selain was sitting on the branch of a giant tree that was growing right beside his room's window.

"Well, if suddenly a princess climbs a tree to peek at your room's window, then anyone will feel concerned..."

Hearing Rio's words, Selain smirked and said,

"Hehe, I just wanted to have some talk with you in secret... The back garden is usually empty around this time, so I am sure no one will see me sitting here..."

Rio shook his head and said,

"If someone sees you, then they will execute me for messing around with the princess of their nation... That would be such an unfortunate thing. I advise you shall retreat..."

Selain shrugged her shoulders and said,

"Heh, I don't think anyone has the ability to actually execute the 'champion'; I highly doubt even S-rankers will be able to keep up with you anymore..."

"I have a feeling that you have already walked one step further on the path of 'Perfect Sword Intent'.... As much as I know, none has ever reached 'perfection' in 'Sword Intent' ever before..."

any longer... I might have to personally kick you away..."

Selain smiled slightly upon hearing those words,

"I know, I know, she's about to come to your room, right? I guess even the 'Champion' is

afraid of being misunderstood by his loved ones..."

"What a rare sight-, but don't worry, I will keep this a secret, 'Champion'..."

With that said, Selain disappeared just as fast as she had appeared out of nowhere.

'It's not a movement technique or even a skill... It's an inherent talent... such amazing control

over a tricky talent like that... interesting...'

It's rare for Rio to get impressed by someone's abilities; aside from Link, today is the first time he has seen someone whose abilities can pique his interest this much.

'I am certain now... This world is filled with talented 'extra' characters that never appeared in

the novel...'

Selain is basically an 'Extra' type character, just like him, who never appeared in the novel, but

she has the talent to awaken 'Sword Intent' one day.

'I guess a few more decades should be enough...'

Unlike humans, dragons age slower and have a lot of time, so Selain can most certainly

awaken her 'Sword Intent' on her own in a decade or two.

By that time, she can barely be considered an adult if compared to human age standards.

'An interesting person indeed...'

Rio walked over to the door of his room and opened it before Lia could get the chance to knock

on it.

He smiled a bit and said,

"hoho, were you feeling lonely without me?"

Lia blushed slightly at those words,

"T-that's not it... I just came by randomly..."

Rio shrugged his shoulders and said,

"Well, you are welcome to my humble abode then..."
