Chapter 818: Crystal White Trajectory

After pondering his public image for a moment, Liszt immediately turned his thoughts to the problem of merged training with the invisible dragon.

The invisible dragon was not an Elemental Dragon. Though it could hide within the boundaries of matter to become invisible, it couldn’t merge with Liszt’s body through elementalization. Thus, many cultivation techniques suitable for Leo couldn’t be applied to the invisible dragon. Moreover, its dragon breath was composed of a white mist formed from spatial magic power.

Wherever the white mist passed, it could shatter any substance, making it a devastatingly powerful attack.

Clearly, this white mist breath couldn’t be used for dragon-breath refinement.

Dragon Force Focus was standard—most dragon knights mastered this skill, guiding the dragon to concentrate its full strength into a focused beam rather than dispersing it. The invisible dragon could also learn the Dragon Heart Code, though it would need to grasp its patterns before communicating with Liszt remotely.

Dragon Blood Infection was naturally no issue—the half-slope cattle and estuary pigs on Black Horse Island were all products of the invisible dragon’s infection.

Dragon Ride Resonance was even more basic, second nature.

The current problem lay in Liszt’s attempts to merge his combat techniques with the invisible dragon for joint execution, which had encountered some difficulties. *Spiral Cycle*, *Mana Fade*, and *Magic Eye* were all challenging to implement on the invisible dragon. The auxiliary effects of *Spiral Cycle* and *Mana Fade* were weak and could be overlooked.

But *Magic Eye* was Liszt’s trump card—it absolutely had to be realized on the invisible dragon. The invisible dragon could freely traverse space, and with the aid of *Magic Eye*, Liszt might even grasp the essence of the world itself.

At the very least, *Magic Eye* should help the invisible dragon navigate, preventing it from getting lost again beyond the boundaries of matter.

"Wrii-ya!"

After chewing a stem of Smokegrass, the invisible dragon became restless and cooperated eagerly with Liszt’s attempts to communicate, continuously discussing the cultivation of *Magic Eye*.

It could sense that this mana technique was crucial for itself.

A dragon’s intelligence was no less than a human’s, and the invisible dragon was certainly qualified to discuss skills with Liszt. The two stood atop the vast marsh, debating well into the night, by which point they had mostly figured out the method.

"Alright, Bard, let’s continue testing *Magic Eye*!"

"Wrii-ya!"

With a roar, the invisible dragon snapped its wings open, and the pair took to the skies once more, flying along the Vortex River for the second time. They repeatedly attempted to activate *Magic Eye*, and finally, when they reached the middle reaches of the river, Liszt’s vision abruptly synchronized with the invisible dragon’s the moment *Magic Eye* was cast.

In the next instant, the world transformed into a crystalline structure once more.

Crystalline trees, crystalline rivers, stars like faceted crystal—this was identical to what the invisible dragon saw with its naked eyes: a world of crystalline structures. Yet *Magic Eye* still had an effect. The crystalline world underwent a subtle change, and this slight alteration made the view entirely different.

Because now, apart from crystal-white, there were other colors in sight!

Though these hues weren’t particularly bright, they clashed starkly with the crystal-white world, creating a distinct separation. In that instant, Liszt understood the effect of casting *Magic Eye* on the invisible dragon: "Before, the invisible dragon’s vision only displayed crystal-white, with only ultra- and high-tier magic being visible. But with *Magic Eye*’s aid, even low-magic can now be detected!"

The invisible dragon’s vision was utterly unique—the crystal-white view resembled a direct projection from some special dimension, where only ultra- and high-tier magic could present themselves in their original forms.

Thus, it could easily detect threats based on magic power levels.

Back when Liszt had hidden in the tunnel and been discovered, it was undoubtedly due to the crystal-white vision. Now, with *Magic Eye*’s enhancement, this vision became even more formidable—even low-magic levels could be spotted.

"Incredible!"

"Bard, there’s quite a lot of magical flora and fauna around this Vortex River—many might even be spirit bugs. It seems the task of prospecting new islands will fall to us from now on." Liszt scanned the surroundings but didn’t rush to collect these magic-infused crystalline forms.

Today was just about getting a feel for the skill.

Only spirit bugs or Grand Sprites would be worth his attention—ordinary spirit bugs no longer merited his personal intervention. A knight of his standing truly shouldn’t bother with common spirit bugs.

He would leave it to the knights to search for spirit bugs during their expeditions—finders keepers. After all, most wild spirit bugs were of relatively low value. He much preferred those cultivated through his own farming—spirit bugs tied to high-value cash crops like magical herbs and grains.

"Wrii-ya!"

The invisible dragon and Liszt were in perfect sync, understanding each other's thoughts as they flew close to the ground, continuously testing the new crystalline vision.

The Magic Eye skill, when operated alongside Leo, was called the Dragon's Eye Trajectory.

As for the Magic Eye skill used with the invisible dragon, Liszt pondered briefly before naming it the Crystalline Trajectory.

The advantage of the Dragon's Eye Trajectory lay in its clarity of detail, including the trajectory of magic power, all clearly visible through the Fire Dragon's sight. The Crystalline Trajectory, on the other hand, excelled in distinguishing magic power levels, simplifying complex magic with remarkable clarity with astonishing effectiveness in broad scanning.

Most crucially, the crystalline vision only grew slightly dimmer at night rather than turning completely dark.

This meant the invisible dragon's night vision was invaluable, allowing Liszt to move freely even after dark. Combined with the invisible dragon's ability to move between the boundaries of matter, it made for a tailor-made assassin Dragon Knight—ghostly and far deadlier than a Light Dragon manipulating light.

"Once I master the 'Invisible Dragon Knight's Dragon Aura Manual' with the invisible dragon, all other Dragon Knights across the kingdoms won’t sleep soundly at night!"

He had no intention of hiding the invisible dragon for too long—space gems would be produced in small quantities and sold for astronomical sums.

Kingdoms and even empires surely knew of the existence of sacred dragons, so there was no need to overly conceal the invisible dragon.

In fact, with three dragons at his command and Archmage Acheronides as a powerful ally, he would publicly proclaim a new kingdom once the relocation of his territory was complete.

Of course, there was no rush.

The exploration of the Flame Islands had only just begun, and they hadn’t even investigated the mainland nations bordering the sea. There was no need to rush long-term plans. For now, they would solidify their foothold in Emberland, develop Flame Island from within, and participate in a few conquest campaigns to seize resources from the Kingdom of the Eagle for the Flame Islands’ development.

...

Upon returning to Emberland, Liszt shared a simple supper with his titled followers, abstaining from alcohol.

After the meal, he withdrew to his chambers to converse with Acheronides.

They discussed in detail the invisible dragon’s crystalline vision, the world beyond matter, and other space-related topics.

When the discussion deepened, Liszt summoned the invisible dragon to act as a translator, facilitating direct communication between Acheronides and the dragon. The invisible dragon had taken a liking to Acheronides—its willingness to let Liszt ride it stemmed from the hope of receiving her aid.

Being lost beyond the boundaries of matter had terrified it.

Their exchange lasted until midnight.

"Brother, Acheronides has gathered much crucial information from Bard, which strongly relates to the research on the Magic Teleportation Circle. I’ll need several days to properly sort through it. Can we delay our return?"

Liszt nodded. "Of course. The magic array research comes first."
