Chapter 174: Chapter 173 Rune Improvement
“`
With a loud boom, Rocky was blasted away from the doorway, slamming heavily into the corridor wall. He was left dizzy and dazed.
“Who let you in!”
Just as Rocky saw stars, he vaguely saw Orton rush to him and pull him up from the ground.
“You brat, didn’t you know I was experimenting! Are you hurt?”
Orton cursed as he checked Rocky over. Once confirming he wasn’t injured, Orton promptly punched him hard on the head, filling Rocky’s vision with stars.
...
“You lousy kid, you’re already a Third Level Mage, and you still don’t know how to use a magic shield?”
“Who would know what you’re up to!”
Shaking his head vigorously, Rocky slowly recovered from the dizziness and shot a resentful glance at Orton.
A month ago, Orton personally taught Rocky a method to practice magic power. After over a month of practice, Rocky became a Third Level Mage and indeed could raise a magic shield, but who would have thought he needed it just to see Orton!
“Tch! You know nothing! Since when is there a safe experiment?”
With a sidelong glance at Rocky, Orton dragged him into the research lab, which had just exploded, and pointed at the messy lab, saying, “Hurry, clean this up for me. I have another experiment to do!”
Rocky looked at the chaotic lab, hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly and began to tidy up.
Usually, a maid would handle such tasks, but since Orton was doing rune research, nobody else could know. Hence, he was alone in the lab. Under normal circumstances, Orton did these things himself, but Rocky was unlucky to be caught up in it. The City Lord had to play laborer.
“Master, what are you researching that caused another explosion?”
While setting an overturned experiment table upright, Rocky asked curiously. Although the explosion had seemed intense, it hadn’t caused much damage to the lab. They were scattered but not destroyed.
“I’m improving the runes.”
“Impro-improving what?”
“Improving! Are you deaf from the blast!”
Orton glared at Rocky angrily.
Of course, Rocky wasn’t deaf; he just couldn’t believe Orton could actually improve runes! So, after a moment of shock, he quickly asked:
“Master, have you fully understood all the runes?”
To Rocky, improving runes wasn’t impossible, but it required a complete understanding of them first. That’s what surprised him. In such a short time, had Orton already mastered runes?
“Of course not.”
Orton shook his head, “I can only draw up to fifth-level runes. The highest, sixth-level runes, I haven’t fully researched. But that doesn’t matter because I’ve learned the entire framework system of runes.”
“That amazing?”
“Amazing my foot! You brat, Wensel’s research notes have detailed records on this. Did you even read them?”
Orton knocked Rocky on the head with frustration. Rocky could only stick out his tongue.
Indeed, Wensel’s notes did record these, but for Rocky, it was like reading a foreign language, so he hadn’t paid much attention. It was clear Orton had read them.
Orton continued, “Actually, at the end of his notes, Wensel clearly stated that while he invented the runes and created the entire system, due to limited time, he hadn’t perfected it. The development space for mana runes is vast. The improvements I’m talking about start there.”
“So… did it succeed?”
Honestly, Orton’s explanation seemed easy to understand, but Rocky didn’t quite get it. So, he simply asked for the result.
But upon his question, Orton showed a troubled expression and drew a rune with magic power with his bare hand.
The ability to draw runes with magic power in the air was something Rocky had seen in Wensel’s magic energy images. This feat alone proved Orton’s rune research had reached a high level, something impossible otherwise.
Moreover, the rune Orton drew differed greatly. He drew only a First Level Rune, but its color was unusual, a crystal-clear snow-white. Rocky had never seen such a rune before.
“Master, this rune…?”
“This is an Elemental rune.”
Examining his drawn rune, Orton explained, “As everyone knows, mana is essentially magic power. And since magic power can have attributes, mana can too. Wensel mentioned this in his notes. Due to limited time and energy, he only proposed a possible idea without actually researching it.”
“The improvement I made to the runes follows this direction, allowing them to have attributes. For example, I infused this rune with ice attribute magic power; when activated, it can emit ice attribute power.”
As he spoke, Orton activated the rune. Once activated, visible cold air radiated around it!
Seeing this scene, Rocky’s eyes widened in surprise. Then, full of curiosity, he approached the ice attribute rune and waved his hand around it, truly feeling the chill!
So incredible! S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Feeling the chill at his fingertips, Rocky grew excited. He never imagined Orton was so talented, daring to improve the runes and actually succeeding!
“Master! Congratulations, this improvement is a big leap for rune development!”
Coming to his senses, Rocky quickly congratulated Orton. It wasn’t flattery, but a sincere congratulations to Orton.
Unfortunately, as soon as he spoke, Orton shook his head, wiped away the rune, and said dishearteningly, “What’s there to congratulate? This rune is useless. With attributes, the rune itself can’t provide magic power, so it’s just pretty with no practical use. Also, I can only create First Level Elemental runes with my current ability; drawing higher-level ones is impossible.”
As he spoke, Orton sighed, showing disappointment.
But his demeanor was due to high self-expectations. In truth, this rune improvement was top-notch technology in today’s magic energy realm! Note, it’s not just rune technology, but magic energy technology!
