Chapter Twenty-Three: Runes-Waltz

Powell's room can be described as a hybrid of a pilot workshop and a warehouse. Against the wall are a dozen huge shelves, filled with all sorts of quirky materials. The ground is littered with a variety of enchanted weapons and equipment, and their common feature is the delicate and delicate magic lines carved on the surface.

The rune "Insight" that El has mastered is a mysterious symbol that has existed since ancient times. Although it is powerful, if you don't understand the corresponding rules, you can't use it at all.

After a long period of research, magicians have evolved more easy-to-understand magic runes based on runes, and these symbols represent single, or even incomplete, but easier to use, which is the prototype of magic patterns.

The magic patterns that are circulating now are all more stable and simple magic symbols, which can be connected together according to certain laws to produce a resonance of magic power. Spellcasters usually draw circles with magic patterns, while enchanters use magic patterns to attach various magical effects to equipment.

El observed with great interest these seemingly familiar symbols, but they had not been systematically studied, just like ancient people reading simplified novels, every word looked familiar, and it was not known what they were when connected.

Powell's eyes were as red as rabbits, and his hands trembled as he rummaged through the travel bag that El had brought, and every time he took out something, he had to laugh a few times weirdly, which made people's hearts tremble.

In this world, the risk is directly proportional to the total benefit, and the more precious the material, the more dangerous the source. It can't be said that there are no masters who have the ability to kill the wurm demonic beasts, but if they really have the ability, of course, they will also have the corresponding identity, who will be full of food and support to go to the depths of the forest to find it uncomfortable? Although there are countless treasures hidden in the vast primeval forest, except for the planned development of the army, only those hunters dare to go deep into it.

Jupiter smiled and tasted Powell's treasured wine, this 30-year-old bottle of Sakira crystal wine was expensive, it was sold at auction that year, and then fell into Powell's hands after several changes, and now it naturally tastes different.

Originally, according to the plan, he could sell the magic materials in El's hand for a good price, and then use the money to invest in his own trading house, which is regarded as El's shares. But now that El is his creditor, the account is a bit confusing. It's no longer a matter of money. He simply brought it to Powell to see how far he could go.

In the future, the money will still have to be repaid, and the shares will also be entered. Jupiter does not regret it, El is a rare talent, and if he can tie him to his side with benefits, the rewards he will get in the future will be far greater than the current investment.

"You kid really got shit luck, if this thing starts to threaten, it can tear you apart in one bite. Powell pursed his lips and squinted at Eyre.

What surprised him wasn't El's shit luck, but that he knew how to identify valuable materials and perform simple preliminary processing, which is not something that an ordinary hunter can do.

The old profiteer has dug up a good seedling. Powell secretly cursed in his heart, this old thing drank cup after cup endlessly, and it was really morally degraded and shameless.

"It's too extravagant...... Powell only felt pain in his flesh looking at the complete velociraptor skin in his hand, this dragon skin is made of special material, which allows him to carry out many experiments that have not progressed before. If it is only made into equipment, it is equivalent to taking gold to forge a sledgehammer, which is a complete loser.

"Young man, my equipment here is also first-class in the city, why don't you just pick a few pieces here, and I will buy all these materials with a lot of money?" Powell asked tentatively.

"Can you say that?" said Jupiter, putting down the bottle with a look of disdain, "Do you still want face?"

Powell's old face flushed, although the equipment in his room was his own proud work, but the material itself really couldn't be compared with dragon skin.

The old businessman was very happy in his heart, he was despised by Powell for decades because of his businessmanship, and the resentment accumulated for many years finally came out, and he was in a comfortable mood and radiant for a while.

"You know what, shut up!" Powell was annoyed, feeling the scales on the dragon's skin and turning his head to look at El.

"Young man, I'll tell you the truth, you can make very powerful magical equipment with this kind of dragon skin, but with your current strength and identity, you can't afford to wear this level of equipment, and you can't keep it. ”

"I didn't plan on asking for any magical equipment, all I needed was its protection. El shook his head, crouching down and studying a piece of iron with interest.

"Looks like you still don't understand the meaning of magical equipment. Powell snorted, "You know, if I make it myself, and use the magic pattern to stimulate the magic of this dragon skin itself, it can at least help you improve your strength by one level." ”

"I don't know, and I don't need any rank. El was a little helpless, "All I need is a half-body scale armor, bracer guards, finger guards, belt, shoulder pads, leg guards, boots, a helmet, and a compound longbow, uh...... The rest of the leather will make me a close-fitting protective vest. ”

"Equipment is not a problem, the problem is enchantment, enchantment!" Powell was about to go crazy, "You don't want to enchant such a rare material? What's the difference between that and wiping your ass with a golden ticket in the toilet? Besides, what are you doing with me if you don't enchant? No...... You can only come to me! Only I can make the most of it!"

Jupiter pulled the old man back and whispered something in his ear. Powell's face straightened and his brow furrowed. He bit his pipe and lowered his voice and said, "Impossible, I've spoken too." ”

"In these years, there is money to make the devil grind, what is impossible. Jupiter gritted his teeth and sneered.

Powell nodded with a dark face, no longer objecting to El's extravagance, but discussed it with the old merchant in a low voice.

It was a good thing that the old man was no longer troubled, and El picked up the iron sheet on the ground, pointed to an unknown symbol carved on it, and asked, "If I want to enchant, can I choose this pattern?"

"What is a pattern, do you think enchantment is carving? That's a magic pattern...... No, that's not even a magic pattern, it's just ......" Powell looked at El with a calm look in his eyes, and his heart moved, and he swallowed back the taunt he was about to say.

"That's the core symbol of the magic pattern, called the rune, and it's like the cornerstone of a building, it's the foundation of the entire structure, but it has no effect on the actual effect of the enchantment...... You know this?"

"Just seen similar symbols. El lied without blushing and heartbeat, "Can you explain this to me in detail?"

"Runes are the most primitive words handed down from ancient times, and they are also said to be fragments of the embodiment of the rules of the world. ”

Powell took a puff from his pipe, and his expression became serious when he talked about what he had to know.

"It does sound powerful, but in reality, humans can't use runes at all. The power of the rune comes from the rules it represents. If you want to use runes, you must first understand the meaning of their rules. For example, we enchanters can only use magic patterns to channel the most superficial power of runes. It is said that among the magicians, there is a school of magicians that specializes in runes, known as runemasters, and they are only able to awaken a limited amount of runic power. ”

"The only people who can really understand the runes and use the true power of the runes are the legendary demigods who have comprehended the corresponding rules. ”

Powell gushed as soon as he opened his mouth, and although this professional knowledge sounds boring, it is exactly what El needs to learn. His adoptive father was able to use runes, but beyond his namesake insight rune, El hadn't learned much from the old man. The frog would not have known the difference between a sparrow and a wild goose, and he did not know at that time that the so-called runes could be so mysterious.

So El made a deaf look, he was not willing to give up any possibility of improving his strength. This attitude made Powell very satisfied, and his face was a little better when he was angry with Jupiter.

"What you have in your hand is the ninth rune sequence, called 'Waltz', which means growth. This is the most advanced rune in the possession of the enchanter, and through this rune we can bring out the potential of the material with magical properties. For example, the Flying Feather Velociraptor Scale Skin you brought is itself a part of the body of the sub-dragon demonic beast, and it also contains its soul fragments after death. After enchanting, you can inflame it...... In other words, you can borrow the power of that velociraptor through it!"

El's eyes lit up, he really didn't know that the enchantment would have such a magical effect. He had heard the old man say that the shamans of some barbarian tribes could also obtain their original power through the flesh and blood of wild beasts, which seemed to have some similarities with Master Powell's statement.

However, what he cares more about is the growth rune called "Waltz", and judging from the benefits that the insight rune brings to him, the power of this rune should be more than that. But now in front of so many people, it is not easy for him to directly use the ability to perceive runes for analysis and research.

As he silently recited the word "waltz" in his mind, he suddenly felt the ring on his hand faintly hot. El had never paid attention to the relic left by the old man before, and he didn't expect it to react to other runes.

He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to check on the spot. It's a secret that he doesn't even know, and out of selfishness, he doesn't want anyone to know.

"After listening to your explanation, I know that the enchantment is so profound, I just came to the city from the countryside, and I ask for your forgiveness for my ignorance. ”

El said with some embarrassment, he did think that the so-called enchantment was just a carving technique related to magic. There is no need to pretend to be stupid, and it is not a shame to bow your head to the elders and admit your mistakes.

"But I still hope you can tailor this set of equipment for me, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Powell looked at the teenager in front of him with some surprise.

"The lad is very confident, very good at talking, good, promising. It's a bit of a waste to follow your boss, so why don't I introduce you......"

"Don't assume I don't exist!" Jupiter was immediately angry at this act of digging into the wall in front of him: "What do you mean to waste with me? I fought with you today!"
