Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

"What's it for?" Alphonse asked curiously.

Stasia fiddled with the base of the small crystal ball ornament for a moment. "This is a magical item made by Bill Grinch, who was once hailed as a master craftsman a thousand years ago. Moreover, it is a treasure that ordinary people can use without needing to infuse it with magic."

With a soft "clang," a metal cap on the base, resembling a nameplate, popped open, revealing a small, elongated hexagonal sapphire inside.

Stasia didn't continue the demonstration, but simply said, "Find an open space, press this gem, and then throw it. It will enlarge into a real small wooden house. Although it doesn't look big from the outside, it uses space compression magic to accommodate about twenty people. It also has a protective barrier that can withstand attacks from fifth-tier superhumans, as well as magic that allows it to hide and confuse the senses of surrounding creatures, and the ability to repair itself after being damaged, hmm."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The only drawback is that the repair time is a bit slow. You have to understand, sealing a small wooden house inside such a small crystal ball is no easy task, especially since the wooden house has a stable compressed space. Even protective magic is almost useless against it. Even my master, who has a deep understanding of spatial magic, is unable to replicate this small house."

Alphonse's knowledge was limited, so he never considered how complex something involving the spatial dimension could be.

But one can still make some guesses. The idea of ​​creating a space for dozens of people to live in a small wooden cabin sounds fantastical, and by comparison, its shortcomings are insignificant.

This is simply divine skill, absolutely perfect.

The transformation capsules in Dragon Ball are pretty much like this.

When we lead our people into the orc kingdom of Bozak, we won't need to look for a safe place to camp in the wild, as this hut will provide great convenience.

Master Scott glanced over and couldn't help but remark, "That's one of my prized collectibles!"

Alphonse could tell that Master Scott seemed somewhat reluctant to part with her.

Stasia replied with a grin, "We don't need it anyway, and it'll just gather dust at the bottom of the box. We might as well give it to Alphonse so it can come in handy."

Master Scott sighed softly, but did not blame Stasia. He simply gazed at Alphonse and said, "Are you sure you've made your choice? I also have powerful magical artifacts and various magical items with special effects."

"This one will do." Alphonse was too lazy to choose anymore. If even the legendary mage Master Scott showed reluctance, this must be a good thing.

Master Scott scratched his head in frustration. "Well, I hope you make good use of this item. Bill Grinch's creations are extremely rare, and their value outweighs their practical use. Sigh."

He had originally intended to study Bill Grinch's cabin when he had some free time, since this treasure possessed dual space compression technology, but having already told Alphonse to choose freely, he couldn't go back on his word now.

Upon entering the treasure vault, he had already hidden away the few divine creations he possessed. He had assumed that Alphonse would at most select two extraordinary weapons, as weapons and equipment were not of great significance to him; he had only placed them in the vault out of a collector's mentality.

But to his surprise, Stasia betrayed him and dug up Bill Grinch's cabin, which she had kept hidden away.

After making his selection, Alphonse asked Stasia in detail how to retrieve the treasure in his hand before carefully placing the small crystal ornament back into the wooden box and storing it in his spatial ring.

Interestingly, this hut cannot be taken back while there are still living creatures inside, which shows that the master craftsman Bill Grinch had taken it very seriously.

From Stasia, Alphonse also learned some rumors about the master craftsman Bill Grinch. He had ignited the divine fire, gained the approval of the gods, and ascended to the realm of the gods, becoming a subordinate deity of the god of craftsmen. But after that, no one had ever seen him descend to the mortal world again.

The only thing known is that he didn't become a god to gain eternal life, but simply to obtain more magical techniques from the God of Craftsmen.

Master Scott pulled Master Godin into the research lab to work on creating artificial souls.

Alphonse, now with some free time, asked Stasia for paper and pen and wrote down the two techniques offered as part of the deal.

One of them is the Longevity Technique, which can keep one looking young forever. Lady Mary is currently practicing this technique. Although this technique is not very powerful, it has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body.

The other item is the Celestial Ecstasy Technique that Monica cultivates. It is the second most powerful technique in the Heavenly Demon Sect after the Heavenly Demon Secret Scroll. However, Monica's cultivation of it is incomplete. Alphonse only intended to use her, who was bewitched, as a vessel to help him cultivate. Now, what he is giving to Stasia is the complete set of techniques, which can perfectly meet Stasia's needs.

When it comes to seducing the opposite sex and falling in love, who in the martial arts world is more adept at this than the Heavenly Demon Sect?

Stasia herself was a magician, so Alphonse simply had her use alchemy to create a simple magic puppet, marking various acupoints and meridians on it and providing detailed explanations.

As for guiding the flow of true energy, since men and women are different, Alphonse didn't help Stasia practice the energy circulation. He simply released his true energy outwards so she could feel it, and also gave her some Higram Grass and taught her how to use it.

The House of Time and Space has a collection of many rare herbs, but it does not have herbs like the Sigram Grass, which can only cure colds and flu. At the level of Master Scott and Stasia, minor illnesses like colds and flu are almost nonexistent. Even if they do get them, they can be easily cured with a disease-avoiding spell.

Higram grass is hardly a precious medicinal herb in this other world; Alphonse only brought a batch with him when he returned home.

Stasia was amazed that the Higram grass could have such a use.

Although Master Scott was involved in the creation of the artificial soul, it still took a considerable amount of time, so Alphonse and the others could only stay overnight at the House of Time.

The next day, he set off with the exhausted Master Godin to Eluslidor, the capital of Izmir.

Edson borrowed the artifact "Arena of Destiny," Mia obtained the armored magic sword, Alphonse also got the magical treasure Bill Grinch's Hut, and even Master Godin did not come away empty-handed; he obtained the method for making artificial skin from Master Scott.

This trip to the Time-Space House was a resounding success, with everything going very smoothly. (End of Chapter)
