Chapter 44 - Shemer's collection

"Now, can I go back to my room? I have to change my clothes." Skylur then looked at his clothes then laugh.

"Ok, brother. You have to go fast because mom will be mad if he caught you like that. Shemer brings brother back to his room."

I stare at Shemer as he was going to touch my brother's foot again. I said,

"Bring him back normally, Shemer."

He pouted his mouth as he complied with my command.

"Come on, human."

After they go, Rhyia came back with my breakfast in her hands.

"Miss, here's your breakfast."

"Thank you Rhyia, can you call mother after I finish eating? I have to ask for her permission regarding big brother Skylur's gathering later."

"Ok miss."

Wow, these moon rabbit crispies are so good. I was munching my food when Shemer came back.

"Master, what are you eating?"

"These are moon rabbit crispies. Would you like to taste one?" I then put the moon rabbit in front of his mouth.

"Thank you, master." He then opens his mouth and chomps at the crispies. Crumbs then start falling out of his mouth.

"Shemer crumbs are falling on my bed. Could you eat properly?"

"Oh! Sorry master. These things are delicious." He wipes his mouth with a handkerchief he pulled from his pocket.

"Are all your things in your space?" I don't see where he puts the things he pulled out from his pockets.

"Yes. I have so many things that I want to share with you."

Then a black hole appeared behind him. Shemer then started to pull things out while telling me their uses.

"Wow, you have so many antique things here."

"Oh, these things are just trinkets, master. I have collected these things from my travels from the past."

"Do you have any ancient books? I would like to read those things."

"Books? Wait, I think I have a collection here."

Shemer then entered half of his body into his space.

Rhyia then helps me change my clothes and go out of the room to find my mother. I then came closer to Shemer and take a look at the things he pulled out from his space.

"Shemer, I think we better sort your things out. It's so messy."

"Do you have any suggestions of how we will sort these things, master?"

"First things first, how large is your space?"

"Master, I cannot measure it?"

"Why?"

"Because my space has an unlimited space."

"What? How come?"

"Master, let me explain how space attribute works. According to the records known to humans, a person with a space attribute with the most powerful mana, like your grandfather, can only obtain a space as large as the palace. As I have known, the first emperor has a space as large as two palaces."

I then nod my head to his explanation. It seems like having tremendous mana has a direct connection with having a large space.

"So you mean if I have mana higher than the first emperor and grandpapa I can have a large space?"

"Yes. Plus, we have an unbreakable bond so you can use my space as well. And may add that with your capability you can have an unlimited space like me."

"How were you able to attain that Shemer?"

"Training."

"Ok, I understand. Let's sort your things by importance. Let me ask, can you put living things on the space?"

"Yes and no. You can put living things such as plants, but you cannot put things like animals or any other living species."

"Why is that so?"

"Because of the time difference inside the space. Plants can last a very long time if you seal them properly. But animals and other living species cannot live if they don't drink water or eat food."

"I understand now."

"Oh! I found the books." He excitedly pulled out shelves from his space.

"You have shelves inside your space?"

"Master, I am a certified book lover. I collected every book from the places we have been through in the past. And these shelves can protect the books from factors that may cause their damage."

"Awesome. Where did you get those shelves from?"

"I stole these things from the Obelisk Library."

"Obelisk Library? Do you mean the library that is owned by Fedzotz, The God of Knowledge? Did you steal these things from a god? Are you not afraid of retribution?"

"He already knows that I did it. But for the sake of the books I collected, he forgave me. Plus, it was Cherlios that stole these shelves."

"Then why did you say that you're the one that stole it?"

"Because it was my punishment from the bet that I have with Cherlios."

"Did you have a bet with the God of Tricks? Huh! You have guts."

"Well, I was just trying my luck."

This guy is oblivious.

Maybe Fedzotz did not punish him because he knew that the one who stole his shelves was Cherlios. I really cannot believe this guy. He's very cautious of other humans but when it comes to the gods his naïve.

"Ok! Let's start sorting your things out. First, let's start with the most important things."

I looked around and notice that Shemer has a lot of very rare alchemy ingredients.

"Let's start with the alchemy ingredients. Do you have any storage box in your space?"

"Yes. I have some here."

"Good. Basilisk Hook, Phoenix Gland, Hydra Blood, Werewolf Eye, Merman Venom, Witch's Heart, Demon Essence, Roc Egg."

Wow!

These ingredients are incredibly rare and very hard to find. Why does this guy just puts this in his space and not use it?

"You can have those, master. I have also many things here to give you."

"Shemer, let me ask you a question."

"Yes, master?"

I looked into his eyes and said,

"Why did you collect these things and not use them?"

"Oh! When I started to collect things, it was just for fun, then I change my mind after I was turned into a sword. I was told by Mysmera that someday I will acknowledge someone as my master. After that, I started collecting things to be my gift to my future master."

"How can you be so sure that you will acknowledge a good master and not an opportunistic one?"

"I believe in my intuition that I will not acknowledge a bad master."

He then smiled at me.

"Hahaha! Fine I understand. Let's continue sorting up."
