Rena took Nathan and Evelyn to the dock, showing them around the ship from the exterior to the interior. Thanks to the materials Vivian gave, the ship was extraordinarily sturdy. At the sa ti, the wood itself had a rather beautiful pattern and color, making it look much more majestic compared to other ships of the sa size.
"That’s all about the ship." Rena clapped her hands. "Do you have anything to ask?"
"Not really." Nathan shook his head.
"If you don’t have any questions, then you can tell where you want to place this ship. My people will bring it there." Rena nodded. She was satisfied after seeing excited faces on these two. It looked like the ship had gone beyond their expectations.
"Ah. You don’t have to worry about the ship. We have a thod to bring it away." Nathan waved his hand.
"Really? This big ship? Well, since the Magic Empress is with you, I guess that’s possible." Rena glanced at Evelyn. With her strength, it should be possible to move this big ship away with a single teleportation.
However, soone had to watch over the ship that way, which would be a waste of ti. Hence, Nathan ca up with an idea.
Seeing the wink from Nathan, Evelyn knew it was her turn. Still, this plan was from him, but to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Nathan gave her the artifact.
Yes, Nathan had requested another artifact from Elder Thompson. This ti, the artifact was a cube half the size of a human head. The cube was compressed tal that was used to produce the space bracelets. In other words, the space inside it was multiple tis bigger than what a space bracelet could offer.
Evelyn took the white cube out of her pocket.
The only problem was that Nathan had made a ridiculous claim earlier.
A mont ago.
"Take this cube. This is the sa as the space bracelet, but it has a much bigger space inside. We will use this artifact to store the ship."
"Oh!" Evelyn nodded in agreent. "With this artifact, we don’t have to protect the ship anymore."
"Yeah. However, due to the space, to fully activate it, you have to say sothing."
"Say sothing?" Evelyn tilted her head in confusion. Nathan ca closer and whispered the password to her, which made Evelyn glare at him. "Are you... serious? No, you do it."
"If I do it, I will end up revealing the fact that I can make an artifact. It will just cause a lot of problems. If we make everyone think you’re the one responsible for the artifacts, it will be much easier for all of us."
She couldn’t deny it. Nathan had done a lot for her, so she couldn’t help but click her tongue, accepting the request.
Besides, she had tried activating this artifact with her ena, yet it showed no reaction. At the sa ti, she noticed the abundant space energy. Nathan must be telling the truth, she thought.
Evelyn took a deep breath, opening her eyes and staring deep into the ship.
"!!!" Rena raised her eyebrows. "An artifact?"
"This is now my property. Devour." Upon saying those words, the artifact was activated, when she couldn’t even do it back then.
Even Evelyn was surprised, but she had to focus on targeting the ship. Once it had been locked, the ship disappeared into thin air as though it had been devoured by the cube, as Evelyn said.
Rena was taken aback. It was different from teleportation. Through the ena alone, Rena could see that the ship entered the cube. She had never seen an artifact like this.
If the space inside the box was that huge, carrying a lot of supplies shouldn’t be a problem.
On the other hand, Nathan was probably the only one who was trying to hold in his laughter.
"Hehe... hehe..." Nathan suddenly felt chills down his spine as Evelyn glared at him. She pinched his ear while saying coldly, "It looks like you are ssing with ."
"W-What do you an?" Nathan acted as if he wasn’t doing such a thing, but his grinning face said otherwise.
"Looks like you need so extra training with your control. Since that’s the case, I will gracefully help you with your training."
"You need to go hunt another elite class alien, you know?"
"..." Evelyn was stupefied. "You planned all this... Just watch out."
"Nathan..." Rena blinked her eyes a few tis.
"Don’t worry, Aunt. It’s just an artifact. The ship is not gone." Nathan smiled wryly as Evelyn finally let go of his ear. "Why don’t you show it?"
Evelyn nodded and activated the artifact again, this ti without saying anything. As expected, she could activate it now.
The ship then reappeared in front of everyone, intact.
"See? The ship is stored inside. That’s why we will handle the rest ourselves." Nathan waved his hand.
"Well, if you say so." Rena was convinced that was the best course after seeing the artifact.
Evelyn then stored the ship again. This might be Nathan’s trick, but this was also an experint with his Soul Contract.
In the contract to create the artifact, Nathan had added one more clause.
’The artifact requires the user to say, ’This ship is now my property. Devour,’ before being able to fully activate the artifact.’
This was different from the keyword he used to activate the contract. This type of condition could be applied in multiple ways.
For example, he could create a sword and create a contract with, ’Whenever the user says ’Lightning Mode,’ the weapon will consu 100 ena from the battery to contract the lightning elent, allowing it to use the lightning elent for five minutes or until the contract is terminated before the five-minute mark.’
If he added multiple clauses for multiple elents, Nathan could create a weapon with all elents.
Since he wanted to confirm this special condition, he thought it would be nice to play a prank on Evelyn while he was at it.
"Anyway, thank you very much, Aunt. We’ll take care of everything from here."
"Are you sure? You don’t need my help anymore? Well, make sure you stock up on dicine and food according to the book. Don’t underestimate the sea."
"Yes." Nathan nodded while adding inwardly, ’I have read a lot of books about how dangerous the sea is, especially diseases like scurvy, which has been ntioned a lot in stories.’
