Chapter 55: Test of the Gem Space
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

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.

It was the perfect size for a ring.

More importantly, it required a constant supply of magic power, and the hand was the best output.

However, I don’t intend to embed it on a ring, which would be too high-profile. For safety reasons, I should make it into a pendant.

A space ring was a priceless treasure, particularly for grand nobles who had important secrets.

But for Liszt, he had few collections that were worth being kept in the space ring. It was not his greatest demand. To be honest, he would’ve gladly traded the space ring for a big elf, which could significantly increase his productivity.

He continued to research.

He opened the space ring again and tried to put things inside. It was not difficult. After a simple test, he realized that the method of storage was a magic package.

Holding the space ring in his left hand, he enveloped a book with his combat aura.

Immediately, the book was gone from the desk and appeared in the space ring. Also, he could freely make the book appear at any location in the space. So, he delightedly stored all the books in the study into the space ring, where there seemed to be an invisible bookshelf.

The books were absolutely still and did not fall.

Is this a vacuum? He lit a candle and put it inside. Then, he saw the most unbelievable scene. The candle kept burning.

He moved the candle to a book. The fire leaned aside but did not die out. The cover of the book was not ignited, either. It seemed that all the materials would be caught in absolute stillness after they entered it.

Even atomic movement is frozen? Liszt tried to find a scientific explanation, but soon gave up. This world seemed to have elements of science, but the concepts of magic power were beyond the definition of science.

He enveloped the candle with combat aura and took it out.

The fire kept on burning.

After multiple experiments, Liszt was already certain that the room within the space ring was relatively still.

I wonder what will happen if I store something living. He intended to try it, but his combat aura had run dry.

It consumed magic power to open the space, store things, and withdraw things. Even the combat aura of an earth knight was not enough.

…

At lunch, Goltai, Marcus and the rest of them all came.

“Mr. Goltai, has the order in the town been restored?” Liszt cut a piece of roasted meat for himself. He was already used to western food.

Goltai sipped the beer. “A morning’s seclusion has little influence on the town. However, Liszt, two cows in the Cow Farm are missing.”

“Do you mean that eight cows are back?”

“Yes, they ran back from Thorn Hill. That’s crazy. However, the two old cows have only bones left.” Goltai was obviously interested in what happened, because Liszt told him earlier not to ask about the arrangement in the Cow Farm.

Liszt did not intend to explain right now. “All right, let the farms keep the bones of the old cows. Also, refill the tunnels there and restore the Cow Farm to what it was.”

Goltai shrugged. “As you wish.”
