On the sea
The three Ferdian warships dragged the giant thing and sailed slowly on the sea. They didn’t go towards Ferde and leave the thing there. Otherwise, the entire world would know that they stole the High Elves’ island, and that would cause a bunch of problems.
For things like this, it was better to make a fortune without a sound.
They sailed for three days, carefully avoiding all other ships. By dusk of the third day, the three warships stopped in a secluded bay in the south of Ferde. It was around six miles from land.
“Alright, all of you go back to the pier. Remember, nothing happened today!” Link said to Jacker, who was on the warship.
“Understood!” Jacker saluted at Link.
Whoosh. The warships started steering towards the Ferde Port. Link stood on the giant floating mine, watching them fade into the distance.
He took a deep breath and started pouring Dragon Power into the ore. After a few seconds, the Dragon Power was equally distributed inside the ore. He used more than 10,000 points during this process.
“Spatial Distortion: Anti-gravity Force Field!”
With a soft hum, a thin ring of detailed runes spread out across the surface with Link as the center. Two seconds later, it surrounded the entire piece of ore.
The first time Link used Spatial Distortion was at the Northern Skeletal Fort. It was still a Spatial Distortion spell but now, it was much more complex and detailed than before. This spell contained Link’s all-new understanding of space and rich experience.
The runes lasted for two seconds. Then this hundred-thousand-ton rock started floating up. Whoosh, whoosh. The water around it washed away, slowly revealing the true shape of the ore.
Originally, the rock was 300 feet wide and 900 feet high. After Link changed it with the enchantment spell, its bulk was at least eight times larger and had doubled in size.
When this giant piece of rock was 60 feet in the air, it was practically like a floating city!
The Dragon Power he’d added in was being burned up at 500 points per second. Link knew he couldn’t maintain it for long. Using his thoughts, he pushed the rock towards Ferde at 120 feet per second.
Whoosh, whoosh. Gales of wind sounded in Link’s ears. It was the sound of this giant rock tearing through the air.
After around 20 seconds, it was thousands of feet inland and Link couldn’t keep going. He sagged and the huge rock plummeted. Two seconds later, there was a muffled boom. The ground was crushed and the rock cracked into many big pieces.
Link estimated that if he used the Anti-gravity Force Field to lift something that heavy to 2500 feet in the air and slammed it down, its power would be equivalent to a Legendary spell.
Of course, doing that was too stupid. If he was disturbed while doing it, he would be in trouble. He was just imagining it for fun.
The place Link chose was very remote. The soil was rocky and infertile so no one lived around here. Naturally, no one noticed this commotion.
Throwing down the ore, Link used the force field to float down slowly.
While descending, he suddenly felt that he should use a force field to make a spell for him to travel faster. He didn’t dare use it before because his Mana recovery rate was too slow. Flight spells would use up a lot of Mana and make him vulnerable. But now, his Dragon Power was recovering at 30 points per second. If he could make a spell that used up less than 30 points, he could travel without tiring out.
That’s a good plan. I’ll develop it as soon as I have time. It has to be flexible and as fast as possible. At least, it can’t be slower than my dragon form… Wait, if I add this force field to my dragon form, won’t I be even faster?
The more Link thought of it, the more amazing it felt.
By then, he had landed on the rock. He had around 3000 Dragon Power points left so he poured it in again, reaching the rock surrounding the ore.
“Higgs Force Field!”
The rock instantly became as soft as water. The gyromagnetic iron started sinking into the “rock water.” After a few seconds, the entire piece of ore was hidden within the water.
After this, Link let out a relieved breath. Heh, even if the High Elves discover this, I can say it’s Ferde’s own mine. They have no evidence and can’t take it away. They can only stare at it.
This was around 30 miles from Scorched City. Link jumped down from the rock and started sprinting towards Ferde. He was so fast that he made it within ten minutes.
Link told Lucy of the location of the gyromagnetic iron to Lucy. She would arrange everything after this while Link went back to his Mage Tower.
Even with his physical strength, he was exhausted from all these days’ work. At the top level, he filled the large bathtub with hot water. He rested in the hot water for half an hour before he recovered.
