Chapter 40 (2/2)

…

On the way back, Liszt ran into Marcus, who was planning to meet him at the castle.

“Mr. Marcus, what’s up?”

“My lord, Goltai told me that you asked about the invisible dragon.”

“That’s right. Do you know anything about the invisible dragon?”

“I heard about it before,” said Marcus carefully. “I read about it from a half-torn knight novel, the name of which I don’t recall. I read it when I was very little.”

“Is that so? How was the invisible dragon described?” Liszt knew that the reward for the mission had come.

Marcus said, “According to the novel, there’s a fourth type of dragon other than gemstone dragons, metal dragons, and elemental dragons, named sacred dragons. The invisible dragon is one of the sacred dragons. They cannot be seen and bring infinite disasters wherever they go.”

“Disasters? Then why are they sacred dragons?”

“Because they can produce a very special gem.”

“A special gem? They should be categorized as gem dragons. Right, what is the special gem? Does it have any unique powers?”

“The gem is related to a legendary item. My lord, have you ever heard of space rings? They’re tiny rings that can contain a lot of things.”

Were there space rings in this world?

Liszt searched the memories of his former self, but found nothing. “No. Do you mean that space rings are real? Or rather, the gems from the invisible dragons can be used to build space rings?”

“I don’t know if space rings are real. Even if they are, they must be priceless treasures that only real nobles can have,” said Marcus. “The novel I read did state that the invisible dragons left infinite disasters as well as their gems, and that whoever picked up the gems would have a space ring.”

“Then what?”

“Then nothing.”

“Was there no other information about the invisible dragon in the book?”

“No. Also, I think it’s only make-believe. You know that most of the novels are written based on pure fantasy.” Marcus came to tell Liszt the information, but he obviously did not believe in the invisible dragon.

Liszt gave no response and simply continued, “What about the other sacred dragons?”

“I don’t know. The book was half-torn. The part I read only introduced the invisible dragon.”

After Marcus left, Liszt was still confused about the reward.

Was it simply the knowledge of the invisible dragon? Or did it mean there was an invisible dragon around for him to capture? Or did it mean that an invisible dragon would attack Flower Town soon? Of course, it could also mean that an invisible dragon would come to offer a space ring to him.

As he thought about it, the mist appeared before him again.

Mission accomplished. Reward: information about the invisible dragon.

After twisting and changing, a new mission was released. “Mission: Have the wild corns in Wheaton attracted your attention? A lord needs to consider why wild corn emerged in Wheaton. Perhaps, there are more wild corns around. Please find the source of the wild corn. Reward: new information about the invisible dragon.”

Liszt’s attention was quickly fixed on the new mission reward.

More information on the invisible dragon. What’s it about? How much information about the invisible dragon will I be given?
