He hurried to extinguish the fire, but the knight novel had already been half-burnt.

The title of the novel was The Expedition of Vulture Knight Stevenlend. Technically, it was more like a chronological history book that described the experience of Stevenlend Vulture who expanded the territory of the High Furnace Castle on his dragon-bred vulture.

The story was boring, but the description was detailed.

It was quite unique among the made-up knight novels. Liszt had read it many times and believed that it was probably true.

The Vulture family probably still existed in the High Furnace Castle.

What a shame. It’s a great book. I wonder if I can get a new copy from Tulip Castle next time. Liszt was quite regretful with the burnt book.

It was not easy to find a decent book.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrow, as he saw the gold color below the burnt cover of the book indicating that something was hidden below.

He ripped the cover apart and revealed the gold color inside.

Something is indeed hidden! Liszt’s regret was replaced by surprise. This must be the forgotten technique of combat aura technique!

The reward for the wheat insect had been delivered tonight.

After the cover was entirely ripped off, he saw a piece of gold paper the size of a palm. It was not real paper but a film that was made of a material similar to gold. A lot of tiny words and an illustration were engraved on it.

Eye of Magic Power, by Stevenlend Vulture. Words of slightly larger size were on the top of the paper.

It’s indeed a secret technique. The novel I was given must be extraordinary if not unique. This gold film equals a gold coin. I don’t think every copy of the novel has such a piece of paper.

He moved his eyes away and focused on the bookshelf in the study. These books contain the information of the invisible dragon and Eye of Magic Power. Is there anything else hidden in them?

To confirm his idea, he cut the cover of every novel with a knife.

However, he did not discover anything hidden.

Apparently, it was the only secret technique.

Eye of Magic Power is quite intricate. It’s much more complicated than common skills… It’s rather hard to learn.

Liszt had never considered himself a stupid man.

He learned Dragon Drill and Fire Dragon quickly, and he was planning to learn archery after Marcus. He preferred ranged attacks.

Should I learn Eye of Magic Power later?

However, after he read the introduction to Eye of Magic Power, he disapproved the idea.

It said, Eye of Magic Power can see the circulation of magic. Even a great sorcerer cannot hide himself under Eye of Magic Power.

He immediately understood that the technique was still part of the quest about the invisible dragon. Does this mean that I can see the invisible dragon after I grasp Eye of Magic Power?

Now, Liszt knew very well what he needed to do next.

He tested the scent of the smoking grass first and discovered that the juice of the grass stank even more when it was burnt.

He had someone cut a batch of smoking grass and build a tower in the Cow Farm, planning to attract the invisible dragon by burning the smoking grass.

In the meantime, he dug a tunnel below the tower to hide himself in.

The cows would be tied around the tower. They would also be smeared with the juice of the smoking grass before the invasion of the invisible dragon.

In a hill slightly further away from the tower, Liszt also had someone dig a tunnel and topped it with a fortress.

In his plan, he would hide here during the invasion of the invisible dragon. After he saw the dragon, he would ask the servants to burn the smoking grass on the tower. Then, the servants would hide in the tunnel while he watched the invisible dragon enjoying the food. After the dragon left, he would search the ground for the gem that the invisible dragon had probably left behind.

On the hill where a tunnel was being dug, Liszt was still wondering if he’d missed anything.

If the reward is given the moment the mission is accomplished, it means that the invisible dragon will visit Flower Town after I settle down the thorn insect… Is the misty mission controlling the invisible dragon, or is it pure coincidence? I can settle down the thorn insect any time, and the invisible dragon can invade Flower Town any time?

The question carried no answer for now.

What he needed to do was to accomplish every misty mission to build himself up.

“Liszt, it’s not a simple task to dig all the way from here to the bushes, but I do not see the point.” Goltai commanded the civilians to dig the tunnels.

“You don’t need to know, Mr. Goltai. It’s not because I don’t trust you. All you need to do is to ask all the farmers in the Cow Farm to stay somewhere else for a day when I inform you.”

“All right. Flower Town is your territory. Nobody disobeys you. I will do what you ask.”

“That’s good.”

“Are you going to settle down the thorn insect in those bushes? That’s hardly the best location.”

“I have my reason.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. The thorn insect is of little use to agriculture after all.”

“Every elvish insect has its unique functions. Maybe you’ll find magic medicines in thorns someday.”

“Haha, I should hope so.”

The project was pushed on heatedly. Nobody understood why Liszt was doing it, but nobody dared to refuse the mission. Liszt could basically do anything he wanted in Flower Town.

The tunnel was dug.

Liszt began to practice Eye of Magic Power in the castle. It was a complicated technique, but he got the hang of it soon with his aptitude.

Frankly speaking, the technique was to make the combat aura in oneself and the magic power in the outside world resonate with the eye as the bridge. Magic power sent off waves to the outside world all the time.

Receiving waves with the eye as the radar was the mechanism of Eye of Magic Power, a non-combative technique.

After five consecutive days, Liszt finally grasped the technique and performed Eye of Magic Power for the first time. He saw his sapphire pupils spinning with infinite starlight when he looked at himself in the mirror.

My eyes can enchant any little girl, can’t they?

He looked out of the window. Marcus was teaching the four squires combat aura. They were past their golden age, but they could still manage to condense combat aura if they worked hard.

At this moment, Marcus was a green shadow in his eyes.

Not far away, Dudderson, who was fighting a rock, was a vague yellow shadow.

Marcus, with the wind-natured combat aura; Dudderson, with the earth-natured combat aura. This is what I see with Eye of Magic Power… But can it work on the invisible dragon?
