Chapter 55: Test of the Gem Space
Why are John Stretchers’ potatoes big and delicious? Because a potato insect is growing among the plants!
Liszt reached this conclusion after reading the mission and the reward.
Potatoes were the main vegetables in this place, but the yield was never high due to the lack of an elvish insect. He was delighted that he was finally going to have one. I’ll investigate it the moment I’m back. I must make sure that everything is all right.
He opened his left hand. The gem from the invisible dragon lied on his palm, glittering.
Liszt looked at it thoughtfully and put it away. Then, he left the Cow Farm on Fire Dragon. Everything about the invisible dragon was over.
A moment later, Carter and the servants greeted him at the castle gate. “My lord, I’m relieved to see you back safely.”
“Don’t worry. What can possibly happen to me?” Liszt nodded. “Thomas, inform Mr. Goltai in town and restore the order in Flower Town. Mrs. Mason, prepare bathwater. I need to take a good bath.”
“As you wish, my lord!”
The depressing atmosphere was gone. Everybody got busy.
Thomas rode a horse to the town. Tom fed the horses and Dudderson with the new footmen. The maids washed clothes. Lunch was prepared in the kitchen. Fifteen servants had to work busily to ensure that Liszt could enjoy everything.
Liszt’s habit was to take frequent but short baths.
After five minutes, he put on homely clothes and came to the study.
Taking out the gem of the invisible dragon, he began to study it.
The gem looked like nothing special. After he activated Eye of Magic Power, he could only see stars wandering in the turbulences of magic power. The gem of the invisible dragon seemed similar to the ruby on the Red Blood Sword except for their different colors.
So, how is it associated with the space ring?
Or rather, how should I open the internal space of the gem? With blood, or magic?
Liszt did not intend to hurt himself, so he tried injecting combat aura into the gem. After his combat aura came in contact with the gem, he instantly sensed that a subtle connection was established. Then, the gem absorbed his combat aura quickly.
After one tenth of his combat aura was absorbed, the subtle connection had been expanded into an invisible door.
Through the combat aura, Liszt discovered that he had found a fairly large space.
The space was irregularly spherical. There was no distinction of directions. It was surrounded by an indestructible wall-like structure.
The ball is about five meters in diameter, the size of a single room.
Liszt was looking at the glittering gem, but his mind could sense the space.
The feeling was quite marvelous.
Also, he realized that the status could last as long as he had enough combat aura. The rate of consumption was not huge. It was basically the same as the rate of his recovery.
He tried cutting off the supply of combat aura.
Immediately, the door to the space was closed, and the marvelous feeling in his head was gone. He thought, The space can be opened and sustained with magic. When magic is cut off, it will be closed. The gem of the invisible dragon is indeed a space ring.
