Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 391: A Picnic of great memories... Part-1.



'As I thought, finding the second fragment has improved my sword intent and sword heart's completion... Originally, they were both stuck at 85%; now I have gone beyond...'

Walking in the corridor of the dragon palace, Rio was now contemplating what he had gained from his visit to that mysterious building.

Although it wasn't an overpowered cheat this time, he still gained a lot; not only did he figure out how Alverto is able to track everything, he also figured out a lot of other mysteries.

'The mysterious building likely has an isolation effect; thus, even though I grabbed that fragment, Alverto can't sense it at all...'

Now that Rio has this mysterious and vast detection ability, he can tell what Alverto can sense or what he can't.

Up until now, Rio had no advantage or solid information that could be used against Alverto, but now he has it.

'Next time I meet that guy, it will be a death match.'

Rio's intuition is already telling him a very long battle is ahead; there's definitely some conspiracy brewing in the dark.

'The current calm is likely the calm before the storm... Once I go back from the dragon valley, I must train a lot more...'

While thinking about his training plans, Rio reached an open area in the palace.

Standing at the rooftop area, Rio could now see the clear blue sky and feel the warm sunshine.

The slight wind breeze made it even more refreshing, adding another charm.

Rio moved to the side, leaned his back against a wall, and then spoke.

"Trying to be stealthy with me is useless; you are a hundred years too young to trick me..."

Hearing Rio's words, Selain and Link deactivated the artifact that they were using to hide their presence.

"Like I said! He will easily see through it; you just don't believe my words! Tch!"

Link grumbled at Selain, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Selain and Link were the two who had reached the rooftop area the first, and the rest of the group was a bit late; thus, Selain decided to do a prank and used an artifact to make themselves invisible.

Link already knew that this cheap method would not work on Rio at all!

In fact, this method will not work on any member of the team astra now.

Rio can see through it because of 'True Immunity', and Lia can easily predict it from the start if she has her 'Absolute Precognition' active at the moment.

Liam can easily sense the artifact's mana, and even Riya can detect Selain and Link's life force, so these cheap tricks are pretty useless against Team Astra nowadays.

Selain sighed at those words,

"Well, as expected of Rio, I guess, I am not surprised he's excellent!"

Then Selain glared at Link and said,

"In fact, I think you are the one who doesn't fit with the rest of the team Astra; all the members are so elegant and hardworking; you, on the other hand, are a total barbarian!"

Link was taken aback by those words,

"What!? What are you talking about! I indeed train and work hard, you know! You seem to have had some kind of misunderstanding! I am actually the strongest in this group, you know!"

Selain glanced at Link with a look of pity and said,

"Ah, sorry, I didn't know that you were having a misunderstanding; I ended up telling the truth... strongest? My foot! Rio is the strongest!!!"

Link also didn't back down at all.

"What!? From which angle does that laidback guy look strong!"

Link pointed at Rio, who was standing beside the wall, and said,

"See, his face looks like he's suffering from extreme level depression! I can defeat him in one punch!"

Rio kicked Link away to the side at that moment,

"Shut up man, stop yelling so early in the morning..."

Link didn't mind it at all; that light kick had no effect on his thick skin at all.

"Ugh, forget it, I admit defeat... By the way, I recently used that 'using the legendary skill to

make tea' method of training, but it's really quite difficult, you know..."

Link stopped messing around after getting hit by a kick, and seeing that the rest of the group still hadn't arrived, he started asking random questions.

Rio simply shook his head.

"I don't know... I was able to make tea with sword intent from the very first moment I got it... Maybe because I didn't want to waste the tea, so my sword intent mastery improved accordingly..."

Rio then gave Link a side-eye and said,

"Or maybe you are too busy picking up candies for Riya lately, so you haven't practiced much..."

Link shook his head and replied,

"Nah, I only do that on Sundays; the rest of the days I train properly, you know; Sunday is the only day when I go on the quest of looking for ultra rare candies with her!"

Hearing Link's words, Selain shook her head.

'Is this really the guy my father was going to get me engaged to? What does Father actually see in him!? Don't tell me that Father has become old and has gone... uh... senile perhaps?'

Ignoring the peculiar expression on Selain's face, Link inquired,

"By the way, didn't you bring a small golem with you when you came out of that mysterious building? Where did it go?"

At Link's question, Rio just replied nonchalantly,

"I didn't actually bring it; that guy just came along with me as it caught the hem of my shirt when I was exiting..."

"Nonetheless, it's now in Lia's possession; Kai's taking care of that little guy now..."

Kai can work as a storage ring for Lia; he can store anything inside his spiritual body as long as

it's not alive.

And that golem is considered only partially alive, so Kai can keep him in his storage space.

'I can't take good care of that little guy; those dwarves can...'

Rio is planning on going to the dwarf empire after the dragon valley, as he wants to figure out the truth behind his sword.

Thus, he can just bring the little golem with him at that time, and he will hand it over to a 'certain' character who will definitely take great care of the little golem for sure.

'In the first place, if this little guy fell into the hands of some mad scientist, it would be broken apart for study; it's better if I give him to someone who can cherish his life.'

Rio lacks knowledge about the construction of golems and the minute magic inscriptions that keep them functioning, which means that if the little guy sustains damage in the future, Rio won't be able to repair it.

Thus, it's better to not keep the golem with him, as Rio won't be able to guarantee its safety.

...

After a while, the rest of the group also arrived, and everyone finally gathered.

Selain then brought out a giant carpet-like thing from her space ring and spoke in an excited

tone.

"Everyone! Although we weren't able to enjoy the dragon festival to our hearts's content, we still have time!"

"This is an S-rank artifact, a flying carpet. I looked through the treasury in the palace last

night and found this for us; we can use it to visit various different scenic spots!"

Selain threw the carpet on the ground, and the carpet started floating on its own.

Liam squatted down to observe the carpet more closely.

"Hmm, these mana inscriptions made on this thing are so detailed and exquisite... I think this

was made by an SS ranker perhaps..."

As Liam has his 'Mana Field' active at nearly all times, he can sense the mana in those surroundings with extreme precision.

In fact, he can already see the working mechanism of this carpet, and he was able to figure out

its blueprint in just a single glance.

Although he didn't say it out loud, Liam is sure he can make another similar flying carpet by himself now that he has seen one in person.

The group didn't delay much, and all of them got on the carpet.

Although all of them can fly, it's not fun to do the hard work yourself; the flying carpet will do

the work for them, and they will enjoy it.

Link wanted to sit on the front seat, but Selain glared at him and said,

"Go away! You stink!"

Link was very depressed after hearing those words, and he had no other choice but to go back

and sit beside Riya obediently.

Riya gave him some mood-enhancing candies, so he cheered up soon after though.

By now, the whole group has accepted the fact that Selain indeed has a very 'unique'

personality.

Her father had once asked her to be engaged to Link, and that's why she's always so annoyed whenever she sees Link's face.

Ignoring the sulking Link, the group enjoyed the scenery as they flew over the central city, crossing vast distances, and they got to see a lot of different, unique scenery along the way.

Flying on a floating carpet is definitely a unique experience that they will never forget, and this memory will stay in their minds for a long time.

Although they didn't get any major improvements in this trip to the Dragon Valley, like how they all improved fast during the Supreme Tournament event, they definitely enjoyed

everything.

The Dragon Valley is a unique place in its own.

Although they can't visit several of the forbidden areas located here, they can surely tell that

the Dragon Valley definitely doesn't lack in terms of scenery and natural beauty.
