Chapter 53: Invasion of the Invisible Dragon

The weather was hot and dry in the first half of June.

The sunrise was the end of coolness and the beginning of a scorching day.

Liszt was wearing black leather armor and carrying his Red Blood Sword. His sapphire eyes were glittering, and his face was solemn.

Goltai, who had come to the castle early, was dazzled by the Lord of Flower Town for a moment. Even the Earl of Coral Island was not as attractive as Liszt right now.

Every time Liszt looked at himself in the mirror, he always felt great.

Thomas flattened the wrinkles on Liszt’s armor carefully. It was his responsibility as the valet.

“Mr. Goltai, according to plan, the farmers in the Cow Farm will be relocated to other villages. No residents are allowed to leave their homes for any reason. The patrolmen will stop patrolling until further instruction.”

“Understood, Liszt. I’ll give the orders.”

Goltai left on his horse.

Everybody was baffled by the lord’s decision, but they had long forgotten resistance. The whole Flower Town fell quiet after the order was given.

It was as silent as night. Barks could be heard occasionally.

Few people could afford a dog, so the noise was unimportant.

The sun was still rising on the east. Liszt put a bit on his horse to prevent it from making any sound. “Mr. Carter, do you remember what I said?”

“My lord, you said that the castle must be closed today. Should anything dangerous happen, all the servants are to hide in the cellar. The castle will not resume regular work until you’re back.”

“Very good. That’s all.”

Carter was quite worried. “My lord, is your trip dangerous?”

“A little bit, but I’ve been fully prepared. No need to worry about me, Mr. Carter.”

Thomas, after hesitation, ventured, “My lord, you should bring me. I don’t have many abilities, but I can buy more time for you in emergencies.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Thomas, but it’s unnecessary.” Liszt cracked his whip, and Fire Dragon lunged forward.

Sand was raised as the horse rushed ahead.

He saw nobody in the town. They had apparently received the order to stay at home.

In excitement, he rode to the Cow Farm. He then put on a mask, climbed the tower, and set the fire. He planned to ask a servant to light the grass, but in case of information leakage, he decided to do it himself.

There were two tanks on the tower. They were full of the smoking grass juice.

Looking around, Liszt opened the tanks and poured the juice upon the two old cows down below.

The stinky smell immediately spread.

The two cows wriggled crazily to try and flee, but held by the ropes, they could only tolerate it impatiently.

Liszt almost threw up despite the mask, but he held back his nausea and set the smoking grass on the tower on fire.

After the fire rose, he jumped off on Fire Dragon, who was also agitated, before he rode on to the thorns.

Reaching the thorns, he took a deep breath and observed the environment to make sure that everything was all right. Finally, he took out the jade box that contained the thorn insect.

“This is it.” Opening the box, he said softly to the fat thorn insect inside, “Little buddy, let’s settle down here.”

The thorn insect spewed out the wormgrass, which fell into the bushes and sprouted quickly.

In the meantime, Liszt had entered the tunnel and was running to the fortress. After he entered , the wormgrass of the thorn insect already grown. He calmed down and summoned the misty missions.

The mist twisted into Ophidian words.

Mission accomplished. Reward: invasion of the invisible dragon.

Having no time to wait for the release of a new mission, he activated Eye of Magic Power and looked at the sky.

The intense smoke of the smoking grass swirled to the sky.

He could smell the stench, like socks that hadn’t been washed for half a year, even though he was in an underground fortress. He could see that the two old cows were foaming at the mouth. He couldn’t help but worry that they would die of the smell before the invisible dragon arrived.

Time went by.

The effect of Eye of Magic Power was approaching its end, but there was still no sign of the invisible dragon.

In my experience, the reward appears the moment the mission is accomplished, although it might not reach me immediately. Why is the invisible dragon still not invading Flower Town?

The reward is not delayed, isn’t it?

If the information on the invisible dragon is true, it should be attracted by the smoking grass the moment it shows up.

When his eyes were too tired to watch any longer, a vague shadow next to the pillar of smoke on the tower attracted Liszt’s attention.

The shadow was small and vague at first, but it magnified into a gray dragon shape soon.

A pair of enormous wings and a streamlined body hovered around the smoke.

“It’s really the invisible dragon!” Liszt sustained Eye of Magic Power with whatever was left of the combat aura in his body and observed the invisible dragon.

It was the first time that he had ever seen a dragon, the representation of the highest power in this world!

He was quite excited even though he was only seeing the magic power of the dragon and not its real self. It’s exactly like what The Travel Journal of Earth Knight Gulliver describes. The invisible dragon is only as large as a house.

However, it certainly had the inviolable pride and majesty.

Although he was a long distance away, Liszt could still sense that his body stiffened under the intimidation of the dragon!

It was said that all creatures would be awed in the presence of a dragon.

It’s going down along the smoke from the smoking grass… Liszt’s Eye of Magic Power had collapsed, making it impossible to observe any longer.

However, it was doubtless that the invisible dragon liked the smell of the smoking grass.

Rubbing his sore and swollen eyes, Liszt looked at the tower with his plain vision. He couldn’t see the invisible dragon, but the signs indicated that the invisible dragon was on a rampage: the disrupted smoke, the moaning cows, and the falling tower that was set on fire.

“Heeyah!”

A creepy shrill burst out from the fire. That was the call of the invisible dragon.
