Chapter 8 Runes


Chapter 8 Runes
“So this is the wizard’s magic tool.”

Ronan couldn't stop staring at a flaming dagger. The flames flowing on the sword were so cool that he couldn't take his eyes away.

This thing is the legendary wizard's exclusive equipment - magic props, or magic tools for short.

Different types of magic tools have varying degrees of amplification effects on wizards. Some can easily double a wizard's combat effectiveness. A wizard with magic tools and a wizard with bare hands are simply two different concepts.

It's just that any magical tool is extremely precious, and it's simply not something Ronan can afford at this stage.

"If the plan goes well."

Ronan secretly made up his mind, "I will definitely buy one when I come back."

Reluctantly leaving the stall selling magic tools, Ronan continued to wander around.

Ronan has his own routine when shopping.

As long as he sees someone bargaining in front of the stall, he will secretly walk up and stand aside to listen. After he has a good understanding of what the item being negotiated is and its corresponding value, he will quietly walk away.

After walking around for a long time, my knowledge has indeed improved to several levels.

There is already a faint tendency to transform from a pure novice to a semi-novice in the wizarding world.

"Um?!"

While shopping, Ronan's eyes suddenly stopped at a stall.

There weren't many people in front of this stall, and most wizards just took a quick look and left.

The stall owner is a middle-aged black-haired man in his forties. He has no intention of actively soliciting customers. He basically sits lazily on a chair.

The stall mainly sells stones the size of pigeon eggs. Each stone is engraved with different patterns and occasionally flashes, giving it a mysterious atmosphere.

Ronan's eyes flashed, and he walked up calmly, picked up a stone with patterns engraved on the stall, and asked the stall owner, "What's the price of this?"

The stall owner pinched Ronan with his eyelids and lazily quoted a price.

Ronan put the stone down, replaced it with another one, and inquired again.

After doing this several times, the stall owner finally became impatient.

"Do you want to buy it or not?"

"purchase."

Ronan put down the stone in his hand angrily and changed the subject, "Give me some universal powder first."

"Two magic stones are broken into a bag. You can get as many as you want."

The stall owner pointed angrily to the side, where there were piles of cloth bags the size of fists.

Ronan walked over and picked up a bag, opened it and looked at it to make sure it was correct. He put down the four magic stone fragments and took out two bags by himself.

After putting it away, ask the stall owner: "Are there any blank rune stones?"

The stall owner raised his half-lying body slightly and looked at Ronan with a half-smile, "Yes, five magic stone grains per piece. If you want more, I can give you a slightly cheaper price."

Ronan silently calculated the balance in his wallet, thought for a while and said, "Three for one, I want twenty-two."

"Godly gold!"

The stall owner simply rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How can you bargain like this for a business that doesn't cost you even one magic stone?
The price is only five. Do you want to buy it or not?"

Ronan tentatively quoted the price twice more, but the other party showed no sign of relenting. In the end, he even turned his face away, not bothering to look at him again.

Ronan wanted to look elsewhere, but thinking that this was the only shop selling rune stones on the street, he thought about it.

"Then give me thirteen dollars."

Ronan sighed and almost emptied his wallet.

The stall owner accepted Ronan's magic stone pieces, and his attitude changed slightly. He stood up and walked to the back of the stall to take out a bag. When handing it to Ronan, he said with a playful expression: "Little brother, I want to learn talismans." Wen Keyin is a rune master?"

Ronan said "Yeah". There was nothing to hide. Only rune engraving would use universal powder and blank rune stones.

The stall owner in front of him is obviously a real rune master, so it is obvious to him.

"Self-taught?" "Self-taught."

"Just learned?"

"Just learned."

The stall owner looked at what Ronan was holding, and said with a strange expression, "You don't think you can become self-taught with this little material, do you?"

"Is it impossible?"

Ronan blinked.

"ha."

The stall owner smiled, grabbed a wizard who was setting up a stall next to him, pointed at Ronan and said to the man: "Ma Fuli, listen to what this guy is talking about!
He told me that he was going to use Thirteen Use a blank rune stone to become a rune master!"

The tone of the man running the stall was exaggerated and artificial, and the wizard who was pulled by him looked at Ronan coldly, as if he were looking at an idiot.

Ronan felt that his self-esteem had been insulted, and he was about to fight back
But he never thought that the stall owner in front of him suddenly laughed and picked up two blank rune stones and slapped them in his arms with a "snap".

"Boy, I'll give you two more yuan to make up the whole sum.

Go back and practice hard. When you're done, come to me and I'll give you another bag...
Oh no, ten bags of blank rune stones! "

"really?!"

Ronan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously confirmed.

The stall owner didn't say anything, he just looked at him and laughed loudly.

"You're laughing so hard. Have you ever heard of not bullying a young man?!"

At the gate of the town, Ronan walked out carrying large and small bags with an angry expression.

But when I thought about being laughed at and getting two more blank rune stones, and earning ten magic stones for nothing, I didn't feel so bad anymore.

"Boom——"

Ronan threw the only piece of magic stone left in his body into the air like a coin, caught it, looked at it twice, and then threw it into the empty money bag.

"The seeds of wealth.

I hope it can grow more and more from now on..."

Ronan sighed and put his money bag away.

He originally planned to search for a copy of the knight training method in the mortal world in the market, but after looking around, he found that this thing didn't seem cheap, so he had to give up.

The return trip was much slower than the trip here, mainly because I carried too many things.

As the sun sets, Ronan finally returns to his treehouse.

After checking the "mark" left before leaving to confirm that no one had broken in when he was not at home, Ronan carried his things into the hut.

After finishing dinner in a hurry, I caught dozens of fireflies and made a new lantern bag.

In the quiet little tree house, fluorescent light was like water. Ronan sat at the small oak table and carefully read the wizard's inheritance book that introduced runes.

Runes are an extremely important part of the wizard's power system.

The creation of runes comes from ancient times. The founder is a legendary wizard with vast knowledge and amazing talents.

The emergence of runes has greatly solved the shortcomings of wizards' long spell casting time and complicated spell preparation, lowered the threshold for releasing a large number of spells, and directly created the extremely glorious era of wizard magic tools!

"Every rune is the condensation of countless wisdom and hard work of the wizard who created it."

"Every sunrise and sunset, in some corner of the world, at least one rune is created, and at least one rune is quietly forgotten and buried."

"The level of the rune determines the level of the enchanted equipment. A high-level and rare rune can lay the foundation for the inheritance of a school. It is a supreme opportunity that countless wizards will go crazy and fight for."

Ronan skimmed over the long introduction to the origin of rune literature at the beginning of the book, and finally caught the key point he wanted to read about a third of the way through the book.
