Without waiting for Laura, Karen picked up a Spatial Bag and carefully began to examine it. These Spatial Bags looked like ordinary cloth sacks. They were brown colored and had a hemp rope along the opening. Unextraordinary looking, they appeared inferior when compared to a woman’s handbag that was manufactured on the continent.
Such a bag, if one threw it in front of an aristocratic madame or young lady and didn’t tell them it was a Spatial Bag, then they might be afraid to check or even pick it up. It may be possible they wouldn’t even glance at it.
Karen, however, wasn’t looking at these superficial aspects. He was examining the magic arrays[1] placed on the Spatial Bag. Karen was a magic array researcher and mostly liked to study the magic parts of various magic tools. Common space tools, however, had above-average, sophisticated magic arrays. Furthermore, it required a space magician in order to activate its space. This space magician also needed to be of a high enough rank in order to do the job, otherwise, the magic contained within would be pitifully small.
This so-called activation was actually the sealing process. Once a space magician reached a high rank, they could use their magic power to cut apart spaces into subspaces and then seal them. This procedure was also called the activation process.
The magic arrays placed on spatial magic tools, to put it bluntly, was just a very special type of magic seal. Its most important function was to assist the magician when they divided the space into subspaces and help make them independent of one another. This enabled humans to be able to use them at any time.
It was because of this that general spatial magic tools on the continent were made with metal[2]. Furthermore, the tools were made with a variety of metal types, and the quality of the requested metal made it so that the manufacture would be difficult.
These Spatial Bags Zhao Hai had taken out were a type of spatial magic tool that had never before appeared or been heard of on the continent. This had certainly made Karen curious.
Karen took the Spatial Bag and carefully examined it, but didn’t find any special spot on it. He untied the rope that held the bag’s mouth closed and checked it. When he still didn’t find anything special, he frowned and opened the bag.
He struck the bag’s mouth and a projection of a magic array suddenly appeared atop the bag. This magic array projection was blue colored, like the blue light shone from a firefly.
Karen thought about it for a while and rotated the bag. The magic array projection also rotated along with the bag’s movement. Karen made the magic array cover a chair and said, “Collect!”
The chair immediately disappeared. Karen then said, “Place!” and the chair that had disappeared reappeared in its original position.
Karen nodded and said, “Sure enough, the magic used isn’t for sealing, but rather to gather and release. This is a good tool. In the end, I wonder how it was made…?” He’d spoken as if he were lost in his thoughts.
Zhao Hai and the others stared dumbfounded after they watched Karen. Zhao Hai had wanted to explain to Karen the use of the Spatial Bag, but hadn’t thought that Karen would be so unexpectedly intelligent. He had unraveled the function of the Spatial Bag, yet his reaction was too strange, right?
Laura looked at Karen’s expression and immediately knew he’d fallen to focusing on researching the magic array. Now, even if one shouted in his ears, he wouldn’t be able to hear it. She couldn’t help but smile at Zhao Hai. “Brother Hai, don’t worry, my father is normally like this. He really likes to study magic arrays and magic tools. When he starts, he forgets everything around him.”
Zhao Hai examined Karen’s appearance. Karen really did look like one of those crazy scientists. In order to focus on the study of their subjects, they could get so carried away. Such people were worth admiring.
Shaking his head, Zhao Hai said, “Uncle is really such a rare person. It’s precisely because of people such as uncle that the development of magic here on the continent has reached such a degree.”
Laura heard Zhao Hai’s thoughts about Karen and couldn’t help but smile sweetly. She reached out and picked up a Spatial Bag, carefully examining it. Zhao Hai smiled and said, “The use is how you saw. This Spatial Bag isn’t very large, at most about 10 cubic meters. Any more than that and you can’t fit anything else inside.”
Laura happily said, “This is still very good, especially now. Most of the space equipment on the continent is controlled by and in the hands of those great aristocratic clans. Now we have our own. Furthermore, I heard that their space equipment isn’t very large. This is really amazing.”
Zhao Hai smiled. “I am glad you like it. For me, this thing isn’t difficult to obtain. I cannot, however, take out too many as it would be conspicuous.”
