“...... I understand. ”

Benjamin took a deep breath and replied.

Who could be more familiar with this character than him?

All of his spell-casting abilities are built on this character. He had previously found a similar record in the green-filled underground ruins. But Benjamin didn't expect that this character was also circulated in the outside world, and was even found by the old mage in front of him.

Maybe...... Once upon a time, mages weren't ignorant of runes?

"Dean Benjamin, do you recognize this thing too?" said the old mage with a surprised expression, "After coming into contact with it, my stagnant spiritual power fluctuated slightly. The meanings of these runes are the water element, the fire element, the destruction element, the healing element, and the wind element. There are only five of them, and I can't find any more. ”

More ...... Is it?

Benjamin thought for a moment, took a deep breath, then took out his pen and paper and began to draw on it.

"Dean Benjamin, you're ......"

"Shhhh ”

Benjamin urged the system to bring up the characters he had obtained in the underground ruins. At that time, the runes were carved into stone tablets and exchanged for the Mage Freemasons. But then time changed, and the Masonic Society fell overnight, and the stone tablets were nowhere to be found.

Thankfully, these characters are recorded in the system's database.

After comparing it with the old mage's parchment scroll, he found that the characters in the parchment scroll all appeared on the stone tablets, and there were twenty-seven similar characters, which should also have specific meanings, but they did not understand them at the moment.

After comparing the pictures provided by the system, Benjamin drew the remaining twenty-seven characters on paper.

"Look at it, this is something I've found in another ruin. When he was done, Benjamin pushed the paper in front of the old mage and said, "These should be the characters you're looking for, but I don't know what they mean." ”

The old mage froze and didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Benjamin called out a few more words. The other party came back to his senses and smiled a little awkwardly. Then, he looked at the characters Benjamin had drawn on the paper, his eyes filled with irrepressible excitement.

"I ...... After years of searching and never finding anything more, Dean Benjamin ...... I don't know what to say. ”

Benjamin smiled and shook his head, saying, "You don't have to worry about it, take a good look at these characters, maybe they can really help your situation." ”

The old mage nodded as well, picked up the thin piece of paper, and squinted at it like an old pedant holding a thousand-year-old book scrap.

After a while, he took a deep breath, pointed to a certain character on it, and said, "This character...... It is an earth element. I'm majoring in earth magic, and when I conceived this character in my head, I could feel a lot of movement!"

Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

Conceived...... The old mage touched the runes in this way, could he try it too?

He closed his eyes and tried to sketch out the appearance of the triangle in his mind, but unfortunately, he didn't feel any movement, and his consciousness space did not change.

"What's there to try, of course you're not the same as him. The system complained, "He doesn't have anything in his head, of course he will have abnormal movements because of the runes, you already have a more powerful rune in your head, what's the use of just imagining?"

Listening to the system's words, Benjamin was a little surprised.

"So...... You seem to know a lot about this?"

The system says, "It's just intuition." I don't know what to do with it, I just know that it has a very lethal attraction to the elements, so like yesterday, you were able to kill that mad priest on the spot with just one rune. ”

Benjamin touched his chin and didn't say anything.

Yesterday he drew that rune on the priest's chest, and it was a whim. However, it seems that in addition to the form of runes in Benjamin's consciousness space, tattooing does not seem to be an impossible path......

After all, not everyone can carve out a space of consciousness.

"Have you ever thought of drawing these runes on yourself?" thought of this, Benjamin also spoke, and said to the old mage.

The old mage was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course I thought about it. It's just that the influence of runes is so great, if you use special magic materials and draw them on your skin, I'm afraid it will cause some completely uncontrollable states. In addition, I have never found a character of the earth element, so the idea has been abandoned. ”

"That's ...... too"

Yesterday's priest hung up. Although they are curious about the characters, they can't do human experiments, right?

"In any case, thank you very much for these characters. The old mage took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to take them back and study them first, and try to find out what they mean and how to use them." I'll let you know if there's anything I find. ”

"Then please bother. Benjamin also nodded, thought about it, and added a few more words, "By the way, regarding the characters, you can try to build a model in your mind with mental power, maybe it will be a feasible method." ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll try. ”

In this way, the old mage left with twenty-seven new runes and satisfied. This so-called rune research group can be regarded as being formed, although from beginning to end, there is only one person in the group, the old mage.

However, for the sake of so many runes that Benjamin gave him, he was obviously not angry, and would instead tell Benjamin about his research results.

It's an investment.

Benjamin didn't know exactly what the elemental planes and runes could bring to these mages. But...... This could be a radical revolution in the way mages meditate, and he didn't know what the runes would make.

But he knew very well that he was able to reach his current strength to a large extent due to the runes.

Thus, he returned to the space of consciousness again.

The spell of the system has not yet been figured out for him, and the skill of merging with the water element to do whatever he wants has not yet cooled down, and Benjamin can't do anything. But thinking of the rune that the old mage had just shown him, he couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in his heart.

Although the magic can't be used, the water element in the space, he can still use his spiritual power to command it a little.

He commanded the water elemental, first in the shape of the character that represented "destruction".

Bite!

The new character deliberately made a soft sound here.

The water element, which was originally peaceful, seemed to be stimulated by something at the moment, full of violent meaning. All sorts of strange things emerged, ice picks, water wires, air blades...... Their form is extremely unstable, constantly switching between the three states, sometimes splitting, sometimes forming, swirling and trembling in the darkness of the consciousness space, like an extremely terrifying tornado.

Benjamin was stunned, and realized that he couldn't even control this thing. A lot of ice blades were thrown out and flew in the direction of him and the system, so frightened that he quickly dispersed the "destruction" character that he had just formed.

With the dissipation of the water element, the characters did not form, and the runaway storm of water magic gradually subsided.

Benjamin took a deep breath and suddenly fell into deep thought.

“...... Why do I think you don't seem to need a spell anymore?" the system asked, shuddering, and suddenly spoke. 17010
