Chapter Seventy-Five: Pretending to be a Pig and Eating a Tiger
Master Stephen's attention to El is self-evident, and even in order to motivate his enterprising spirit, he does not hesitate to use his own disciples as rewards to seduce. Although he doesn't know his true purpose, he can at least show the value of El in his heart now.
However, in El's opinion, it is not so much the importance that Stephen attaches to himself, but the importance he attaches to the power of the runes. Although he praised El's excellent performance during the investigation, judging by his tone and expression, the old man preferred to believe that it was the change brought about by the runes. In his heart, he still regarded El as a country boy who accidentally inspired the blood of his ancestors, both lucky and ignorant, easy to coax, and useful.
This was a misconception that had long been inherent in most of the aristocratic class, and the great alchemist, though wise, did not regard it as a shortcoming to be corrected out of aristocratic reserve. Naturally, El didn't mind deepening this misunderstanding of his, and after the shock of the first meeting, he showed the image of a qualified country turtle, and even deliberately lowered his IQ and discipline by a few notches to deepen his false image in the heart of the great alchemist.
Everyone knows that the beast has sharp claws, but countless people have died because of it. Predators at the top of the food chain are never dependent on themselves, and environment and timing are equally important factors in hunting. A good hunter must not only have his own hole cards ready to save his life, but also always look for new hole cards in case of trouble.
The Great Alchemist had almost all the color of El's underwear, and even made El wonder if he had used some kind of magic on him, but that was only before he was injured.
El was sure that Master Stephen himself knew a little about the rune power system, and although he knew the real names and corresponding meanings of all the runes, those were only theoretical knowledge from books. The rune master itself belongs to the warlock profession of bloodline inheritance, and many of his own secrets cannot be revealed, and naturally they will not be recorded in the book.
When discussing the power of runes with Lorana, El had reservations out of caution, but in reality he had inspired runic abilities that were much more than that. When he awoke, he discovered that his runes had undergone a mysterious mutation. The waltz runes are not only completely fused with themselves, but they can also be combined with the insight runes to form a connected "vocabulary"!
The abilities brought by the Insight Rune include the active "True Eye" and the passive "Enhanced Thinking" and "Enhanced Perception", while the abilities brought by the Growth Rune are the active "Wild Rage", "Stimulate Potential" and passive "Enhance Physical Strength". When these two runes are combined, an entirely new variation is the kind of control ability that El has inspired in his fight with the Mantes Scouts.
In a short period of one minute, his thinking speed, body reaction speed and explosive power will increase exponentially, and the most intuitive effect is to feel the time around him slow down, and at the same time, he can also see the opponent's offensive direction clearly, and can have enough time to make a judgment of dodging or counterattacking.
The "Overview of the Human Rune System" does not say anything about the combination of runes, and El has to temporarily name this nascent ability "Storm Strike".
This ability is powerful, and can even be outnumbered, but the consumption of physical energy is also very amazing, and it can easily turn into a tragic tragedy of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. However, now that he has mastered the "super-speed regeneration" of the life rune, which has greatly improved the recovery power of his body, the value of the storm raid is immediately highlighted.
In addition to this, the awakening of little Langa is also a surprise. Originally, according to Master Stephen's prediction, she would need to recover from a long slumber after consuming all the adrenaline fluid stored in her body. But he didn't notice that little Langa had devoured a badly injured Mantes scout before falling asleep, and this time it was more accurate to sleep than to cultivate.
When the Great Alchemist mentions that the power of the runes comes from the blood of the ancestors, El immediately realizes that his blood contains unusual powers, and before that, Lolana has told him that the Landwalker is good at absorbing the flesh and blood of other species to strengthen himself, and a dangerous idea arises.
He watered the eggs with his own blood and forged a blood pact with his pet companions using ancient rituals passed down from hunters.
El didn't think about the consequences of doing so when he bled his blood, because he was sure that even if something went wrong with him, Master Stephen would not die without help. However, the end result is not bad, and this risky behavior in exchange for a spiritual connection between him and little Langa.
Little Langa had not yet learned to speak normally, but she was able to transmit the images she observed directly to El.
In the hall on the top floor, girls with long orange hair were muttering about packing up their bottles and jars, stuffing colorful potions into the cuffs of their slender school uniforms. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would have known that her snow-white lace cuffs were actually two hidden spatial objects.
Master Stephen stood beside her, his face gloomy, and it was evident that he was in a very bad mood.
“...... You're going to act like a lady......"
"Dear teacher, I'm not a bitch who sells flesh and skin......"
"Shut up and put away your little cleverness! you know ......"
“...... Why do you have to ......?"
"Count Snecker wants to see you by name......"
"You're not ready for reason......"
“...... He's a bastard who eats people and doesn't spit out bones......"
In order to avoid being discovered, little Langa just hid in a dark corner from a distance and peeked, and could vaguely hear the words of the master and apprentice triumphant. In her mind, she couldn't understand the meaning.
The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and the girl first softened, hung her head appointingly, closed her mouth and stopped arguing with the teacher. Master Stephen babbled for a long time before opening the portal and taking her out of the tower.
El opened his eyes, and the image in his mind vanished like flowing water, it was little Langa's psychic ability, not his own memory. Even so, he remembered every detail with the power of insight runes.
"It's strange, with Master Stephen's position in Isttalon, who would dare to force him to bow down?" said El, narrowing his eyes, muttering to himself.
Not only Istalen, but I remember that Lolana once said that Master Stephen had a transcendent status, and even in the court of the Oakland Kingdom, he should be treated as a guest of honor. In this case, where did this come out of a "Count Sneike" who dared to point fingers at him?
It can be inferred from these few words that Stephen asked Lolana to stay in the tower to study with him that day, and he didn't have the idea of protecting her, but he didn't know what happened today. According to the time, the war between Isttalon and the Legion of the Ground Walker is definitely not over yet, what accidents will happen at this time?
Who is it that wants to see my woman?
El scoffed, his eyes turning cold. touched and touched, hugged and hugged, naturally he was his woman. Now whether you want to be responsible or not is your own business, and whether you hand it over to others or not has to be decided by yourself. If someone has bad intentions, he doesn't mind leaving them with an unforgettable lesson.
What about being noble? What about being powerful? Born in the mountains, El did not want to cause trouble, but he was never afraid of it. He had killed the clergy of the Cursed Sect, cut down the scouts of the Legion of the Earth, and how could he be afraid of the nobility of humanity itself?
Wherever Lorana was taken, the first thing she had to do was to leave the tower in order to find her. Judging from Master Stephen's teleportation method, it seems that there is no passage prepared for ordinary people in the tower, but El has his own solution.
Lolana had already made an obvious hint, and he naturally understood it.
El walked outside the reading room, looked around, and soon found the gargoyle hiding in the shadows, and he shouted at the constructed creatures, "I'm hungry!
As he expected, less than three minutes later, a behemoth carrying a plate fell from the sky.
