The bearded and bald Dika Kane, the last descendant of the Hradim Mage Order, was staring at each other with the little girl who had just rushed to the tent of Akara alone, and no one spoke first except for the brief introduction that Akara had just given to the two of them.

“……”

Kane didn't want to speak, because he never thought that a certain talented Roger he had just promised to teach would be such a small person.

He thinks that Akara must be joking, it must be, right!?

After all, in his own opinion, the knowledge of runes in the shelter world is a very profound discipline! Although there are only thirty-two of them, the meaning of each rune and each figure has a profound meaning that humans have not fully understood so far! It can be used not only in the sanctuary world of St. Hugh, but also in the Supreme Heaven and the Burning Hell, and it is the supreme mystery that makes up the whole world, and there is no one!

Consider that back then, the mages of their Hradim organization, who had spent several generations of hard work, had only collected and systematically studied how to write and depict them, as well as seventy-eight usable combinations of rune words.

As far as Kane knew from them, if he wanted to successfully draw a rune and make it have great power, it was very demanding for a rune mage! Whether it is the strength of mental power, the strength of mana, the basic skills of drawing, and the selection of materials for runes, etc., these factors are indispensable!

And this is also the reason why most of the runes that have been circulated in the shelter world and even hell are engraved on a kind of white stone! Because, that thing called the Pseudo World Stone, the precious white ore that is contaminated with the breath of the World Stone, is the best material to carry runes! Once they switched to other materials, the Hradim mages found that their success rate was outrageously low.

As for the combination of rune words, it is even more mysterious......

Those four series, a total of seventy-eight sets of Rune Words, were the most valuable and effective combinations that their Heradim mages had found after countless painstaking attempts!

Moreover, Kane also saw from their ancient books that the combination of seventy-eight rune words was far from the apex of rune application! Because, the Hradim mages vaguely discovered that those runes, in addition to being able to combine and burst out with powerful power, are also likely to be the core of this world!

It's a pity that the power of mortals is limited, and the mages of Heradim are no exception...... The pioneers, all their lives, have not been able to take a single step or half a step forward in this great conjecture...... In the end, they could only stop at seventy-eight sets of rune words, and then, the entire Hradim mage organization soon fell apart.

For example, to form a rune language 'Lion King's Heart', it needs to be without any enchantment, but it has been engraved with the corresponding enchantment patterns and three-grooved armor, and then, if the three runes of No. 15 Haier, No. 17 Lum and No. 19 Farr are stably inlaid into the armor according to the order and time requirements, you can get the effect of the Lionheart Rune Language on the basis of the original attributes:

————

Lionheart

Lionheart

Three-groove armor is required

Haile Lum Fall

Hel(15)+ Lum(17)+ Fal(19)

Requirement Level: 41

+20% Damage Enhancement

Demand -15%

+25 to Strength

+10 Stamina

+20 Stamina

+15 Agility

+50 Health

+30 for all Resistances

————

In Kane's opinion, this attribute is very good!

Of course, this is just an ordinary rune language with three runes inlay, and in Kane's mind, there are even more powerful rune words with multiple runes! That kind of powerful combination often requires five powerful runes to combine!

For example, if you have all the runes you need, and a rare long-handled or sword-type weapon with five grooves, you can make an artifact-level 'destruction' weapon!

————

destroy

Requires a five-groove long-handled/sword-like device

Look at it, this is the great result of the research of the mages of Hradim on runes; This is the power of runes and the application of rune language! The five runes are combined according to the order and certain requirements, and an artifact is in hand, doesn't it seem simple?

Unfortunately, it's hard to sit up......

It is precisely because of this that Kane is surprised and funny that Akara asked such a little guy who may not even know all the words to learn runes and rune language from him! He suddenly thought, is Akara old confused? In comparison, I'm afraid it should be that he Kane himself is a little older, right?

What's more, he, Kane, has been tortured alive by the demons in Tristram for several months, and his mental and physical state is far inferior to the other party.

“……”

Anne didn't say anything, she was looking curiously at the strange old man, who was said to know everything.

The other party should have been washed yesterday, and he was no longer the disgusting old man who smelled of stinking poop, but became a thin and shriveled strange old man, and it seemed that he was still blind? Anyway, the other party looks pitiful now, fortunately, Sister Kasha and the others rescued each other in time, otherwise, maybe they will die at some point, right?

However, Anne didn't want to bother with this now, she just wanted to get the rune knowledge she needed from the other party's mind, and then ah...... Then he wants to do whatever he wants, so she won't continue to play with this kind of weird old man, it's not interesting at all!

"Little girl, what are you looking at me like this?"

I don't know why, Kane always felt that he was being looked at by the little guy in front of him, and the other party's eyes were very cunning, just like a little devil, not at all like the innocent and ignorant appearance of ordinary little girls.

So, in confusion, Kane tentatively asked.

"It's nothing!"

"I just want to know, why didn't the demons eat you on the spot, and let you live until now?"

Anne was a little surprised by this.

Because she had heard Flavi and her Rogers say that none of those who fall into the hands of demons will come back alive! A lot of Rog was thrown into the cauldron and eaten by those evil Sinking Demons, and like this skinny old man who doesn't have any meat on his body now, even if the demons dislike him and can't eat it, they shouldn't let the other party live until now, and let people save him, right?

Anyway, Anne thinks that the other party is very suspicious, there must be a problem!

"Who knows, old man, I'm not a demon, how do I know what they think?"

"It's a little strange to say, those demons, in the beginning, often sent some demons who could speak our human language to interrogate me about the Soul Stone, but then, they never came to ask again."

"Maybe the reason why I've survived until now is really a fluke......

In fact, Kane didn't really want to pay attention to the little girl in front of him, but after inadvertently seeing that Akara who was pretending to drink something was also paying attention to the situation here, he could only sigh and reluctantly explain.

Then, thinking about the tragic situation in Tristram, he couldn't help but shake his head again and sigh and bow his head. It can be said that after the release of Diablo, the king of fear, in that miserable city of Tristram, there were almost no one in ten of the original citizens!

By analogy, presumably this land of the Kingdom of Canduras, where all the demons are ravaged, should be in a similar situation, right? Except for the one million people in the entire vast kingdom, who survived the protection of the Rogs in the Blood Wasteland, how many people in other places could survive?

"Nope! I think maybe not! ”

Little Anne suddenly spoke very firmly, and nodded from time to time.

"Okay, so what do you think...... Her Excellency Sister Anne? ”

Seeing that the other party's performance was almost like a little adult, Kane teased a little crying and laughing.

I don't know why, Kane always made him a little uncomfortable when he saw this little girl's somewhat innocent, but extremely cunning eyes...... Originally, this feeling was not too obvious just now, but now, Kane feels like he is being targeted by some demon?

"I'm not a little nun, I'm an arcane mage! Nuns or something, it's clear that they're talking nonsense! ”

In addition to being a powerful arcane mage, she is the great Flame Queen, the adorable lord of the Flame Alliance, the head of the Federation of Heroes in the Kpoprue Sector, the honorary professor of Hogwarts, the boss and chairman of the Bear Shield Bureau, and so on......

Anyway, she's definitely not a nun!

Nuns or something, just the names that Akara and Kashya had imposed on their heads, she hadn't said she wanted to join their strange 'blind eye' order!

"Arcane Mage...... A mage who studies the mysteries of the world? It's the first time I've heard of this new term, but it's very vivid......"

"I don't know if those ancient mages in our Heradim Mage's Guild count?"

Kane was a little surprised to hear the little girl's words, and then muttered to himself, this was the first time he had heard the strange word 'arcane' from someone else's mouth, maybe it might be some new mage school?

Thinking about it, Kane began to think to himself again.

Being able to sink into thought whenever and wherever no one else is there is to be is is the latest skill he Kane has learned during his recent time in demonic captivity and captivity, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on to it until now.

"Ahem! Kane? ”

Seeing that some of the old fellows began to fall into deep thought, Akara glanced at the other party, shook his head, and pretended to cough to remind the other party.

"Ahh Sorry......"

"By the way, little one, where did we just go?"

Kane, who had finally come to his senses, smiled at Akara a little awkwardly, and then continued to turn his head to look at the little guy standing in front of him, who was said to be coming to learn runes from him.

Later, he must test the other party well, if the foundation is too poor, even if he offends Akara, he will definitely not teach! Because, if you don't have a certain foundation, you can't teach no matter how you teach, and it's just a waste of time.

"We just said: the reason why you haven't been eaten by the demons is because you're too old and don't have much flesh on your body, so the demons want to feed you for a while?"

Blinking her eyes, Anne began to grin.

This old guy looks a little abnormal, his memory is declining, and he is developing in the direction of Alzheimer's, so she is very worried, has the other party forgotten the knowledge of those runes? But don't save an old fool back, if that's the case, then she may be happy in vain.

“……”

Akara's hand froze for a moment, then went back to drinking his stuff, still sitting quietly on the side.

"Is that so?"

Kane felt that what they were talking about just now should not be this......

But, anyway, these are just some innocuous little things, and he doesn't plan to continue to entangle this little girl.

"Hey! Grandpa Kane, can I ask you one more thing? ”

Suddenly thinking of something that made her wonder, little Anne leaned over so awkwardly, and then opened her eyes as wide as if she could speak, and looked at each other so cutely.

"Absolutely!"

Kane thought that the other party was going to ask about the thing that Akara had told him about teaching the other party rune knowledge before, so he sat up slightly straight, intending to take a good look at what the other party was capable of so that Akara could specifically tell him about this matter?

Now, he's ready.

Although he had only had a good night's rest, Kane felt that his energy was still quite strong, and it would not be a big problem to barely finish the questions asked by a little girl. After all, it's just a little girl, so what profound questions can you have?

"I'd love to know: what did you eat to survive? For so long, those demons would find something for you to eat every day? ”

That's right, as a snack merchant, Anne's thought at this time is, of course, related to eating! For a prisoner who had been captured by the demon for months, she was very interested in knowing what was delicious during that time.

“！！”

"This ...... Trust me, you're not going to want to know...... It will be a terrible nightmare for the rest of my life....."

Originally, Kane almost had to hypnotize himself to forget about it, but now, a certain little girl reminded him of this incident with a little pain.

Suddenly, he remembered the food he had eaten during the months he had been captive, and his face began to turn pale, and his stomach seemed to be churning violently......

In fact, in the beginning, although the demons only found him a little food from time to time, it was still a normal bread, bacon, or cheese that was left over from the citizens of Tristram...... Then, in the later stages, his daily meal was upgraded, and it turned out to be the kind of luxurious bug meal rich in protein and chicken-flavored that had been burned by the demons?

When he first changed his meals, Kane actually had a lot of fun eating every day before he figured out where they came from, because they were nutritious, delicious, and only a small plate would allow him to replenish his calories for the day and continue to survive.

In this regard, Kane Kai was once relieved by the humanity of the demons and the kindness of the captives?

But......

Later, when he Kane saw something familiar crawling from the bottom of his cage, from the corpses of the citizens of Tristram who had died under the clutches of demons, he never thought about it again, and for a time tried to go on a hunger strike...... But as a result, his food is still those roasted insects that are rich in protein and have an attractive aroma, and there is a large plate every day, and it is getting bigger and bigger every day!

So, for this sad question, he Kane didn't want to say more, he couldn't even think about it! Otherwise, how could he still be starved to the present skin and bones when the food treatment was excellent?

“……”

“……”

Although both Akara and Anne were unhappy with the stubborn Kane's refusal to explain the treatment of the devil's diet, in the end, they did not question each other too much.

"You guy isn't fun at all!"

"Then let's hurry up now, and write out to me the graphics and descriptions of the thirty-two runes you know, as well as the combinations of those rune words!"

Anne is a little impatient, after solving this matter, she still has to concoct a good job of concocting the Johannah who wants to betray the organization again, but she has no time to mess around here with this unruly old man!

“……”

However, to Anne's anger, after looking at her again for a while, the other party shook her head and said to Akara:

"Akara, I don't think it's a good idea for you to arrange for this little guy to come and learn runes from me...... You may not know that whether it is runes or rune words, it is a very mysterious advanced magic knowledge, and it is very demanding for beginners...... And now this little guy, I'm afraid she hasn't even recognized all the words, right? ”

That's why Kane thinks Akara is messing around right now!

In his opinion, it was absolutely ridiculous that the other party would send a child who was still of school age to learn from him the most profound knowledge of the mages of Heradim! Kane thinks, just this little guy in front of her, at least, she needs to go back and study well for twenty or thirty years before she is qualified to study runes with herself?

"You skinny bald old man, don't look down on people anymore!"

Seeing that the other party dared to look down on herself like this, Anne was angry on the spot!

Her Queen Anne, whether it is the art of enchantment or the study of runes, is the top existence in Camp Roger! Those Rogers and adventurers, eager to catch themselves every day and beg to cry for themselves to enchant a good thing or two, where is it like the other party said, they can't even read all the words?

She is always aware of the advanced arcane arts of language, and no matter which world she goes to, she can quickly understand the words and language of the other party! Moreover, even if she doesn't know the language, she has countless other means to quickly master unfamiliar languages and words, and she will definitely not be an illiterate little girl as the other party says!

“……”

Kane wasn't talking, however, his expression had betrayed him! He just looked down on the little girl in front of him, and he didn't want to waste time handing over his rune knowledge to the other party to mess around.

"Damn!"

"Akara, I'll use this pen of yours!"

In dismay, Anne pulled the rag hat in front of her from a shelf in the Akara tent, and then drew on it with a brush.

"Here you go!"

Soon, in less than ten seconds, Anne finished sketching and hatefully threw her dirty hat in front of the other party.

"This can't be!!"

Kane screamed on the spot, because he saw something illogical: a little girl had used an enchanted pen to draw runic words on her cold-proof leather felt hat - 'knowledge'? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, right?

Or did he think he must have woken up yet? Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing happen? That's right, it must be like this! This little girl is absolutely impossible to do something that the ancient Hradim mages can't do so easily, it must be impossible!

In the heradim mage's most glorious period, only those rune masters could draw runes on stones of non-specific materials to a limited extent and make them work! But now, this little girl, under his Kane's nose, in just one breath, drew a 'knowledge' combination on his hat?!

"It's possible!"

"Without further ado, give me all your rune research materials right away! Includes all rune patterns and all rune language combinations you know! ”

As long as she knows the correct combination of patterns and rune words, Anne herself can naturally study it, and there is absolutely no need for this stinky old man who dares to underestimate herself!

"Impossible......"

Kane ignored the little girl, but kept looking at his hat, as if to see how the two runes were drawn.

"Kane ......"

"There are some things that you will understand later, now, as we said before, give Anne what she needs, to her?"

At this time, Akara couldn't stand it anymore.

After stretching out her hand to signal little Anne not to worry, she persuaded Kane, who was still in a state of shock. Now there's a lot more to do in their camp of Rog, and there's even a living Archangel of Hope! But now, Akara didn't want to talk too much to the other party, for fear of accidentally scaring this old friend who had just escaped to death.

“……”

"Although I still can't understand it...... But, Akara, I'll do what we just said...... It's just that the ancient books that recorded those contents have long been destroyed in Tristram, so if I rewrite them, it will probably take at least ten days and half a month......

"Don't worry, it's really not like I'm shirking...... Akara, you must know that the thirty-two runes and the seventy-eight sets of rune words, as well as the connections and derivations between them, and so on, I must remember them well before I can write them. ”

After staring blankly at the little girl standing in front of him with his intact right eye, which was not yet cataract, Kane sighed a little dejectedly.

He suddenly felt that after he had been imprisoned for a few months, how could things in this world seem to have changed suddenly, and he was still a little incomprehensible?

"Then it's happily decided!"

"Remember, Blame Grandpa, I'll have someone come to you in five days to get the book, if you dare to play bad, you'll die!"

After saying that, after Anne grimaced at the other party, she turned around impatiently and trotted out.

“……”

"Akara, that little girl, who is she......?"

It took a while for Kane to come back to his senses from his lost soul.

"Don't ask, Kane, you should cultivate well in the next few days, and when the time comes, there are some things that you will understand yourself."

Akara was reluctant to say much about Annie.

Anyway, after a while, when the Kasha and the others come back, everything will be clearly displayed in front of each other, and at that time, she doesn't need to say anything, this wise old friend, this descendant of Master Hradim, will naturally know.

"Well, maybe I do need a good rest for a while......"

After the blow of these things today, Kane suddenly felt a little sleepy. As Akara said, after being tortured by demons for such a long time, he really needs to rest for a while.

Didn't you say it last month, this month's update is unstable, starting today

(￣▽￣)~*☼

I came back at 18 o'clock in the afternoon, and I hurried 7,000 words without revision......
