rune hunter

Chapter 69
It is self-evident that Master Stephen attaches great importance to El, and even in order to stimulate his enterprising spirit, he does not hesitate to use his disciples as rewards to seduce him.Although he doesn't know its true purpose, it can at least explain the value of El in his heart now.

But in El's view, it's not so much Stephen's importance to himself, but rather his importance to the power of runes.Although he expressed his appreciation for El's various excellent performances during the investigation, from the tone and expression, the old man is more willing to believe that this is the change brought about by the rune.In his heart, he still regards El as a country boy who accidentally inspired the blood of his ancestors. He is both lucky and ignorant, easy to coax, and valuable to use.

This is a misconception inherent in most aristocratic classes for a long time. Although the great alchemist is wise, he does not regard this as a shortcoming that needs to be corrected out of noble modesty.Naturally, El didn't mind deepening his misunderstanding. After the shock of the first meeting, he showed a qualified image of a country bumpkin, and even lowered his IQ and integrity by a few grades to deepen his reputation as a great alchemist. The wrong image in mind.

Everyone knows that the beast's claws and teeth are sharp, but countless people died because of it.Predators at the top of the food chain never rely solely on themselves. Environment and timing are also important factors for hunting.An excellent hunter should not only prepare his own hole cards to save his life, but also look for new hole cards at any time for future troubles.

The great alchemist almost investigated the color of El's underwear, and even made El wonder if he used magic such as mind reading on himself, but that was limited to the information before he was injured.

El is convinced that Master Stephen himself has only a half-knowledge of the rune power system. Although he knows the real names and corresponding meanings of all runes, those are only theoretical knowledge in books.The rune master belongs to the warlock profession inherited by blood, and many of his own secrets cannot be disclosed, and naturally they will not be recorded in the book.

When discussing the power of runes with Laurana, El had reservations out of caution, but in fact the rune power he inspired was much more than that.After waking up, he discovered that his runes had mysteriously changed.Not only is the waltz rune completely fused with itself, it can even be combined with the insight rune to form a connected "vocabulary"!
The abilities brought by the insight runes include the active "Eye of True Sight" and the passive "enhanced thinking" and "enhanced perception", while the abilities brought by the growth runes are the active "wild rage", "stimulate potential" and Passive "strengthening physical fitness".When these two runes are combined, there will be a brand new change, that is, the controlling ability that El inspired in the fight with the Mantes scouts.

In just 1 minute, his thinking speed, physical reaction speed and explosive power will all increase exponentially. 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 attack direction. Knowing clearly, you can have enough time to make a judgment on dodge or counterattack.

"Overview of the Human Rune System" did not discuss the combination of runes, so El had no choice but to temporarily name this newborn ability "Storm Strike".

This ability is so powerful that it can even be outnumbered, but the consumption of physical energy is also astonishing, and it can easily turn into a tragic tragedy of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.But now that he has mastered the "super-speed regeneration" of the life rune, which greatly improves the resilience of the body, the value of the storm attack is immediately highlighted.

In addition, Xiao Langa's awakening is also a surprise.Originally, according to Master Stephen's prediction, after she consumed all the adrenaline source liquid stored in her body, she would need to go through a long period of deep sleep to recover.But he didn't notice that little Langa devoured a seriously injured Mantus scout before falling into a deep sleep. The deep sleep this time was not so much cultivation as evolution.

When the great alchemist mentioned that the power of the rune came from the blood of the ancestors, El immediately realized that there was an unusual power in his blood. Before that, Laurana had told him that the land walker was good at absorbing the blood of other species. Flesh strengthens itself, so a dangerous thought arises.

He watered the eggs with his own blood, and used the ancient rituals passed down by hunters to form a blood bond with his pet companions.

When El was bleeding, he didn't think about the consequences of doing so, because he was sure that even if something happened to him now, Master Stephen would not refuse to save him.But the final result is not too bad, this risky behavior in exchange for the spiritual connection between him and Xiao Langa.

Little Langa has not yet learned to speak normally, but she was able to pass the images she observed directly to El.

In the hall on the top floor, the girl with long orange-red hair was muttering about packing her bottles and cans, stuffing colorful medicines into the slender school uniform cuffs.If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would know that her pair of snow-white lace cuffs turned out to be two hidden space objects.

Master Stephen stood beside her with a gloomy face, apparently in a very bad mood.

"...you have to act like a lady..."

"Dear teacher, I am not a whore who sells my flesh..."

"Shut up and put away your cleverness! You know..."

"...Why do I have to..."

"Earl Snake called to see you..."

"Didn't you have a reason ready..."

"...he is a bastard who eats people and doesn't spit out bones..."

In order to avoid being discovered, Xiao Langa just hid in a dark corner and peeped from a distance, and could vaguely hear the words and phrases of the master and student's victory in the argument.With her thinking, she still can't understand the meaning.

The two of them stalemate for a while, the girl softened first, lowered her head like an appointment, shut her mouth and stopped arguing with the teacher.Master Stephen babbled and gave instructions for a long time before opening the portal and leading her out of the tower.

El opened his eyes, and the image in his mind disappeared like running water. It was Xiao Langa's psychic power, not his own memory.Even so, he remembered every detail by virtue of the power of insight runes.

"It's really strange. With Master Stephen's status in Istaron, who would dare to force him to obey orders?" El narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

Not only Istaron, I remember that Laurana once said that Master Stephen's status is supernatural, even if he comes to the court of the Kingdom of Auckland, he will still be regarded as a distinguished guest.That being the case, where did this "Earl Snake" who dared to point fingers at him come from?

It can be inferred from these few words that Stephen asked Laurana to stay in the tower to study with him that day, and it may be that he did not have the idea of ​​protecting her, but he didn't know what happened today.According to the time, the war between Eastaron and the Ground Army Corps is definitely not over yet, what accident will happen at this time?
Who the hell is this woman who wants to meet me by name?
El sneered, his eyes turned cold.Touched and touched, hugged and hugged, naturally she should be regarded as his woman.Now it's up to me whether I want to be responsible or not, and whether I want to hand it over to others is up to me.If someone has evil intentions, he doesn't mind leaving an unforgettable lesson for the other party.

So what about being noble?So what if it is powerful?Al, who was born in the mountains, was unwilling to cause trouble, but he was never afraid of trouble.He has killed the priests of the cursed sect and cut down the scouts of the ground marching regiment, so how can he be afraid of the nobles of human beings themselves?
Wherever Laurana was taken, to find her she had to leave the Tower first.Judging from Master Stephen's teleportation method, it seems that there is no passage for ordinary people in the tower, but El has his own solution.

Laurana had already made an obvious hint, and he naturally understood it.

El went to the reading room, looked around, and quickly found the gargoyle hiding in the shadows waiting. He shouted at the constructed creature: "I'm hungry! Prepare dinner for me!"

As he expected, less than 3 minutes later, the huge monster carrying the dinner plate fell from the sky.
