003. Loading Runes

The two hours in the meditative state passed quickly, and Allen's magic had fully recovered, and his body was almost in a similar state.

He got up and returned to the table, put away all the superfluous things, and took a knife and a delicate wooden box from the drawer below, and laid them neatly in front of him.

Alan slowly opened the wooden box, and a boxy animal skin was lying quietly inside.

The skin may seem unremarkable and dull, but upon closer inspection, it is covered with fine lines and intricate magical patterns carved on top of the lines, all of which cost Eren countless efforts.

And boxes like this, there are four more in his cabinet.

When everything was ready, Alan stretched out his left arm and rolled up his sleeve to his shoulder.

He picked up the knife, soaked it in the alcohol that had been purified by several distillations, shook off the water stain on it, and gently placed it in the place marked on his wrist, and let out a sigh.

"If only there were anesthetics. ”

Up to now, Eren is actually not much different from the modern people in his previous life, he is still afraid of blood, afraid of pain, and cannot be accustomed to wounds like a soldier.

But in the dangerous continent of Federen, he will inevitably begin to grow and transform, accustomed to blood and pain.

Rune loading is not only an increase in strength, but also the beginning of Allen's official face of this world.

Without too much hesitation, Alan suddenly held his breath and cut a three-centimeter-long cut on his wrist, and the red blood slowly seeped out.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt that much. ”

The knife in his hand did not stop, and continued to move on his arm, and Eren needed to cut out a diagonal triangle shape in order to load the runes smoothly.

After cutting out the second wound, Alan felt that it was too early for him to speak, especially when he slowly lifted the whole piece of skin, the pain that made the whole person tremble, which he had never experienced in his two lives.

The most unbearable thing is to peel off this small piece of flesh little by little.

Now he is not as relaxed as he was just now, the cold sweat of the bean slipped down his forehead, Alan gritted his teeth tightly, gasped for a heavy snort, put down the knife in his hand, and picked up the runes in the box.

There is no detailed description of the process of loading the flesh and blood transplant runes in the rune book, just a simple explanation of the steps, so the current Alan doesn't know what to pay attention to, so he can only press the rune on the wound with a heart.

"I'll go!"

Alan put the rune on it with a little more force in his excitement, and a piercing pain suddenly came from his arm.

However, this pain was only fleeting, and the rune began to slowly dissolve the moment it touched the flesh, emitting bursts of pale white light, completely enveloping Allen's wrist.

At the same time, the pain in the wound gradually disappeared, and in its place was a burst of peaceful warmth reached the bottom of his heart.

"I said how the runes that look the same are still color-differentiated, and the difference is when they are loaded. ”

Eren hadn't officially begun to experience the improvement brought by the runes, but he had already seen the magic of the runes, and at this moment the blood on his wrist had disappeared, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long to recover as before.

Allen's heart was full of joy, and then he began to slowly mobilize the magic power of his body, and the originally hidden runes on his wrist lit up with a faint white light.

At the same time, he clearly felt the changes brought about by the runes in his body, and the magic power that had been scarce was gradually recovering, but he felt extremely empty.

Mana boost, increasing the maximum mana reserve by 30-60%, this is one of the few magic-related runes in the white rune, and the simplest one.

According to the knowledge of some mages in the Rune Tome, if Eren can assemble three growth runes, then his mana reserves can surpass that of ordinary second-level mages.

The magic power has been greatly improved, which not only allows Eren to have the ability to save his life, but also improves the efficiency of practicing the production of runes.

Eren was very excited now, and couldn't wait to load another rune on his body, but in the end, reason prevailed, and he calmly returned to bed and began to meditate.

This time the meditation took significantly longer, and Alan glanced at the pendulum clock on the table, and it had been almost four hours before he felt a sense of magic power.

Alan squinted his eyes and felt it quietly, and found that the magic power in his body had increased by at least half!

"It seems that my talent for loading runes is not very good, but this talent for making runes is not bad. ”

This magic enhancement rune is Allen's maiden work, and it is indeed something to be proud of to be able to improve by more than fifty percent.

It took a lot of time to toss back and forth, and it was late at night, but Alan was still full of energy and did not feel a trace of sleepiness.

He took out another wooden box from the cupboard, then took off his shirt and pointed the knife at another marked spot on his body......

......

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

In the early morning, the morning bell outside the castle rang softly, as if carefully reminding the noble young masters and ladies that it was time to get up.

However, the only nobleman in the current Baron's castle is Alan himself, and he has not slept all night.

Alan slowly came back to his senses from his meditative state, got out of bed and stretched his muscles, stretched, full of energy, and did not feel sleepy at all.

"Maybe in the future, you can skip sleep and use meditation instead of rest. ”

This is a bit whimsical on the part of Allen, no matter what, meditation can't completely replace sleep, at least this kind of thing won't happen to mages below level ten.

As for why he was so energetic last night when he didn't sleep, on the one hand, it was because he was extremely excited, and on the other hand, because when he loaded the runes, the power in the runes would replenish his energy to a certain extent.

Originally, Eren had more time to continue loading runes at night, but he stopped after completing the second one for fear of any discomfort in his body.

In addition, he vaguely thought of a problem, that is, the increase of runes is not only based on their own strength, it is likely that the increase between runes can also be stacked.

For example, Eren now has two mana enhancement runes, and if the increase of a single rune is 50%, then the increase of the two runes will be 125%.

This speculation also gave Alan a bold idea, even if a person was covered in white runes, as long as he loaded enough runes of the same kind, there would still be a qualitative change.

However, because he is only assembling two runes now, there is a certain error in the amplification fluctuation, or it may be that Allen has the wrong feeling, or maybe the second rune has an excellent effect.

So at present, these are just inferences and assumptions, and the specific effects still need to be practiced.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

There was a gentle knock on the wooden door twice, and Linda's soft voice rang out outside the door.

"Well, come in. ”

After receiving Alan's permission, Linda gently pushed the door open and walked in with a tub and towel.

However, as soon as she stepped into the house, an old man over half a hundred years old rushed in first.

Alan frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart.

This person he is very familiar with, it is the old butler of the family, Brad, an old man who is extremely stable on weekdays, and now he has this panting and panicked appearance, it must be because of what happened.

"Young Master, Lord Locke is back!"
