rune hunter

Chapter 65
There is no window in the tower of the great alchemist, and he cannot distinguish between day and night. He can only judge the time by the movement of the suspended platform.For some confidentiality considerations, there are no human servants in the tower, and all work is done by constructed creatures.After the master left, the place fell into deserted darkness.

The amethyst protective net gradually extinguished its light, and the servants of the constructed creatures fell asleep one after another. In the huge tower, there were only two slight breathing sounds in the laboratory, which were very clear in the silence.

"Even if it's a man, it's impossible to say that kind of thing casually."

Turning to the second page of "Overview of the Human Rune System", it was still full of densely packed unfamiliar words. El rubbed his temples and sighed bitterly.

"Woo--" The voice reading across the desk paused, followed by tangled mourning.

There were still tears in the corners of the girl's eyes. Although the buttons on the neckline had fallen off, the clothes on her body were still neat, but there were red fingerprints on her face as delicate as white porcelain.When she was emotional, El didn't take advantage of her, but just pinched her face and ravaged her, which still hurts till now.

As the saying goes, things are always reversed, but in fact, the idea of ​​self-destruction is just the insanity caused by the girl's shame overwhelmed by reason without psychological preparation.It was only after she calmed down that she realized how badly she had acted, and for a moment she wished she could find a crack in the ground.

"Has Mr. Stephen behaved like this before?" El asked tentatively, frowning. "I mean treat you as... uh, some kind of prop in exchange."

He didn't look up to see the girl's expression, for fear that Laurana would lose control of her emotions again.But even without looking at it with the eyes, the observation ability of penetrating runes can clearly feel the rapidly rising body temperature across the desk.

No matter how witty Laurana is, she is still an innocent and pure girl after all. Even though she has calmed down in the reading room for a while, she still can't help but blush when talking about that topic again.But this issue has to be discussed, because from the beginning to the end of the whole matter, the attitude of the great alchemist was particularly strange.

"How is it possible... Although the teacher is usually very strict, at most it just increases my workload." Laurana said in a low voice with a blushing face. Although she was still a little shy in her voice, she had already regained her senses. "Besides, as the leader of the 'academic school' and the sage of the 'worship' with the most detached status in Istaron, he has all resources at his disposal, and he doesn't need to use his disciples at all."

"I think it's the same, and even if he really has a real idea, it would be too wasteful to use it on me." El rubbed his chin, puzzled: "Could it be that he is sure that I can't memorize this book in three days? ?"

"That's why I said you must be the teacher's own son." Laurana stared angrily and said, "Based on age, or is it more likely that you are your own grandson?"

"My own son should get to know each other first, right?" El rolled his eyes, but felt a little guilty in his heart.The old man who adopted him never mentioned anything about his family. At that time, he was ignorant and didn't care about it.Speaking of which, it's really not impossible.Even if Queensland and Istaron are separated by a vast forest, who knows if Master Stephen was always strong and merciless after drinking?

Of course, this idea is very unreliable. Before that, El had already had another guess.

"Master Stephen seems to be particularly interested in the fact that I can use runes, and I don't know why he has repeatedly emphasized the issue of time." El tapped the desk and said a little bit about the abnormalities he noticed.Although his observation ability is strong, in terms of further analysis and reasoning, it is much inferior to Laurana.

"That's true." Laurana's eyes lit up, and her face slowly sank.The girl also felt the teacher's anomaly before, but because she was treated as a reward, her mood fluctuated too much, and she didn't notice the real purpose of Stephen's decision for a while.

"Although the number of rune masters is rare due to their blood, they are not considered rare species. Compared with dragon blood warlocks and psionic spellbreakers that will not be produced for hundreds of years, your ability is fundamental There is no value worth studying. Theoretical research on runes has not stopped for thousands of years, and there are even dozens of famous books. Besides, the teacher has never paid attention to this field before this..."

Laurana muttered to herself for a long time, and her confused eyes gradually became clear.

"Time, the most important thing is time! The teacher once said that learning knowledge should be done in a rigorous and serious manner, and you should not be perfunctory in order to save time and effort. But now he doesn't even have the patience to lay a solid foundation for you, and he doesn't even There is no real intention to teach you at all."

"If you say that, then he is not using you, but trying to use me." El said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the teacher must need you to enhance your abilities in the shortest possible time, and then there will be very important uses." Laurana clapped her hands and said: "This matter must be very important, so important that he thinks that even if you sacrifice your own disciples I don't hesitate... But it doesn't make sense. The most important thing for us now is to deal with the landwalker army in front of us, but that is a collision of strength between races. No matter how strong a person is, it is useless, otherwise Langa Princess Leia has already started killing people."

"Maybe Master Stephen thinks I can subdue that spider woman?" El said half-jokingly.

"The power of the runes can make you stronger than five hundred strong men?" Laurana's face was full of horror.

Having said that, both of them shuddered involuntarily, and hurriedly shook their heads to throw away the imaginary images in their respective minds.

"Don't guess randomly, maybe the answer is in this book." El pointed to the "Overview of Human Rune System" on the table. "After I memorize this book, I may be able to understand Master Stephen's true intentions."

"This book seems to have hundreds of thousands of words, do you really plan to memorize it in three days?" Laurana narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously.

"How is it possible? I'm afraid it's not enough time for you to read it to me." Er wiped his cold sweat, and calmly bypassed a dangerous topic: "At least I should know what is written in the book, You can find something that works for you.”

"Then let's hurry up." Laurana raised her eyebrows and said unconvinced.She cleared her throat and began to read the second page.In fact, simply reading is not very strenuous, the key is that she has to translate the Gogar language in the book into the common language.Although the two belong to the same language family, Gogal is cumbersome and detailed for written records, while Common Language is a bit too straightforward, and many special vocabulary cannot be fully expressed.

"Is there a copy of this book? I think reading the contents of the book while listening to you may help me remember." El pointed to the page of "Overview of Human Rune System" and asked.Since he was sitting opposite Laurana, he could only see the upside-down text.

"There are so many requests. This book is relatively rare. I haven't transcribed it, so there should be no copy." Laurana pouted, and reluctantly turned around and sat next to El, "So you are satisfied?"

"Stupid, if I really wanted to do something to you, I would have done it already." El shook his head helplessly, moving away a little.After recovering from the injury, his perception seems to have strengthened a lot. Without deliberately concentrating, he can clearly perceive the seductive body fragrance mixed with sweat and other things on the girl's body, and he can even hear the girl's slight nervousness. Rapid heartbeat.

Although he said no, his body is still quite honest... El thought maliciously in his heart.Don't look at Laurana's stern and sarcastic remarks now, if she really doesn't want to, it must not be the current attitude, and El can still see this.

In an empty dark tower, accompanied by a beautiful and delicate girl, it is difficult for any normal man to handle this situation.El is also inevitably distracted, but his body is still weak, and he is really powerless.

The cruel reality arouses El's strong desire to learn. He is calm on the surface, but in his heart he is eager to find useful answers from this book.
