Section 154 The Sneaky Magician

"Rune Stone?"

"Runestone?!"

Perhaps that time was too long ago, and the two yodelers, who were known for their curiosity, were at a loss when they heard the word. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only the warrior monk Li Qing's eyes widened, and in a slightly different way from the yodelers, he repeated the names of these stones that emitted blue brilliance.

Ezreal noticed this detail, and he was surprised again: "Master Li Qing." Do you know the 'Runestone'? ”

This question caused the warrior monk to be silent for a moment before answering, "My mentor has been looking for this way that people in ancient times used to increase their strength. Originally, he had always thought that the 'Rune Stone' had been annihilated in the river of time, but he didn't expect ......"

Seeing the glint in Ezreal's eyes, Li Qing followed up and added: "However, my mentor's research on the 'Rune Stone' is still at the level of collecting words about the power of runes from those legends. ”

Hearing the warrior monk's words, Ezreal was disappointed and relieved.

This is indeed the case, otherwise Li Qing would not have seen the thing and not recognized it, until he said the name of the 'rune stone', and he suddenly understood.

In the time that followed, Ezreal and Lux took out the 'runestones' they were wearing, and let the other companions take turns trying them. However, he didn't get any more information than the two of them had tested, and the biggest takeaway was probably that the monk found that the 'rune stone' of the symbol he had received from Lux didn't seem to have any effect on him.

This reminded Ezreal that the 'explorer' who had a flash of inspiration in his mind took out the three 'rune stones' with more complex symbols that he had been carrying on his body from his close pocket, which he and Lux and Nedri had not been able to use before, and handed them to the warrior monk to try.

However, Li Qing could not use it either, but the warrior monk's efforts to fuse the 'rune stone' into his body gave Ezreal a bold assumption.

Perhaps the use of the 'Rune Stone' had something to do with their strength, because it was obvious that Li Qing fused two of the red 'Rune Stones' better than the others.

Combined with the three levels of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man' that the warrior monk once mentioned, Ezreal hypothesized that the 'Rune Stone' was also divided into three levels.

Before they reach level 11, they should be able to use level 1 - that is, the 'rune stones' that everyone can wear now, and those 'rune stones' that are not effective enough, and after reaching level 11, they will probably be able to use level 2 'rune stones' - this can be confirmed a little later, and when the warrior monk who is now level 10 is upgraded by another level.

Next, if you reach level 18 Heavenly Rank strength according to the power grading method inherited by the monks from the ancients, you can use the 3rd level, which is also the highest level of 'Rune Stone' currently known.

The gods and demigods in the ancient tales may have enough high-grade 'rune stones'.

Dreaming of reaching the pinnacle of power and fusing high-grade runestones, Ezreal and his friends continued to work hard to get a more accurate measure of the effects of the 'Carved Runestones' in their hands.

……

On the other side of the strait, in the city of Zuan, shrouded in toxic exhaust fumes, there are also some people who cannot sleep at this time.

In addition to the recent factory owners who have begun to work overtime to devote themselves to production, the chaotic scientists of Zuan are frequent visitors who stay up late, and often when inspiration strikes, they will start sleepless research work for several days.

As a good Zuan scientist, Victor, who has almost completely transformed his body into a machine and calls himself a 'mechanical pioneer', doesn't have to worry about staying up late. As long as there is enough energy and consumables, he can work forever, which is what Victor is most satisfied with about this modified body right now.

Those stupid, bound to the flesh, are waiting to be eliminated by the times - until he thoroughly studies the design of the 'arcane converter' in his hand. At that time, he would have enough energy to provide for the mechanical army he had formed.

However, it has to be said that this Piltover scientist named Jace can indeed be called a genius among geniuses in this field. Victor frowned and worked hard for several days on research and experimentation, still still unable to figure out some of the most critical parts.

And the most troublesome thing is that this drawing is not a mature plan to be bound into a book after the completion of the research, and it is mixed with many immature ideas from Jace's experiment.

This caused Victor to waste a lot of time on detours in the past few days, and sometimes he even wanted to go to Piltover again, make a cameo appearance as a robber or kidnapper, and kidnap the young man named Jace back. Fortunately, Victor, who has a mechanical heart, is always able to deal with these useless negative emotions calmly - in the short term, he will never go again, and the police in the 'progressive city' are not exactly decorations.

After all, he was a little weak-minded, so Victor's laboratory rarely arranged a few sentry posts outside his laboratory to monitor the surrounding situation and warn him in time.

Jace chose a high terrain, and after a long period of observation, he almost figured out the situation of those sentry posts.

According to his estimates, once the attack is launched, the enemy will definitely be able to send a warning in time - he was only an inventor a few days ago, and the frontal battle was enough, and using the cover of shadows to quietly launch covert operations to attack the enemy, he can only think about it in his dreams.

What's more, Jace's whereabouts have already been exposed, and not far behind him, two thin figures are curled up......

"Sullivan. It's so late, let's go back. That guy must be a magician in disguise, how could a real magician sneak into someone else's laboratory in the middle of the night. ”

"Don't worry, Terry. Look again. ”

It was the daytime when he was looking for a place to stay for Jace with his luggage and leading the way, and the two dock boys who led him around the labs of the 'Other Scholars'.

The reason why they followed Jace here in the middle of the night was that one of them, a clever boy named Sullivan, who was urged to leave, took Jace to the laboratory of Master Victor, a master mechanic, in the afternoon, noticed that something was wrong with the adult who hired them, and in a moment of surprise hid outside Jace's residence to keep an eye on him.

As a result, they followed Victor's laboratory 'quietly', and the two teenagers, who were more laymen than Jace, did not know what they thought were secret, and had already been discovered by Jace at the beginning.

Listening to the dock boy's evaluation of his 'sneaky' behavior, Jace was also a little helpless.

As is often the case in this world, planning is never as fast as change.

News of a mysterious army outside the city of Zu'an, even under the blockade of that army, began to spread throughout the city.

In the evening, when Jace returned to his residence under the guidance of the dock boys, he could not control the mysterious army that was circulating, and began to take measures, sending a small number of men into several thoroughfares in Zu'an, and controlling all the passages between the city and the outside world!
