Chapter 159 Lucky Treasure Merry!

Overall, Louis was rather disappointed with his gains this time, as he hadn't acquired anything that could fundamentally change his strength.

Morgon and Gideon appear to be two strong individuals at the upper level of the third tier, but neither their attributes nor their actual combat strength is even one-tenth of that of Molly the Hero.

This further fueled Louis's desire to undergo a third job change as soon as possible.

The trip to the Kingdom of Forrest must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

After parting ways with the Erisil team, Tiga, and Ignis, Louis returned home and discussed the matter with his teammates.

Looking at the heavy two hundred gold coins in Dina's hand, Louis suggested, "Let's use these gold coins to jointly purchase a more advanced magic pocket."

"The journey to the Kingdom of Forrest is long and arduous, with countless people watching along the way. Only a high-level magic pocket can hold the remains of Hero Molly, so we don't have to carry them around all the time."

The teammates all agreed with this.

The new magic pocket has become a necessity.

The luggage and provisions that the group needed to take on their trip, plus Nora's various weapons and equipment, were clearly too much for the magic pocket, which only had a capacity of one cubic meter.

Nora felt regret when the topic of the body came up.

Unfortunately, Morgang was not a high-quality corpse; he had too many interpersonal relationships in his life.

You could say he died, but he had to die right under his own niece's nose, making Nora too embarrassed to ask Tiga for the body back.

Morga's body was taken away by Tiga, but it was clear that this traitor would not be given a proper burial. He would most likely be torn to pieces and whipped by the angry Frostclaw tribesmen, which would be a waste.

After discussing it, the group immediately went to the high-end equipment shop in the inner city and spent all two hundred gold coins.

One hundred and fifty gold coins were used to purchase magic pockets.

The new magic pocket is a world of difference compared to the old one, with a capacity of twenty cubic meters and a more stable internal space that can reliably hold anything below the fourth level of the extraordinary realm.

In contrast, the magic pocket that Griffin gave them was just a regular one that cost no more than twenty gold coins.

It was well worth spending those 150 gold coins.

Unfortunately, the new pouch still can't hold living creatures. The shopkeeper said that a magic pouch of that level would cost ten times more, and could only be bought in the capital or at the headquarters of various professional associations.

They used the remaining fifty gold coins to upgrade their equipment.

Weapons, which account for the majority of equipment costs, are basically unnecessary to buy; you only need to upgrade your robes and armor.

Louis, Nora, Dana, and Merry each acquired very sophisticated weapons.

Nora has a staff made from a piece of Colin's arm bone, while Merry inherited the rune staff that Colin used before.

What about Louis? His weapon was actually the rune sword he got from Erisil.

When choosing the rune sword, Dina deliberately picked a larger one, so that she could use it ostensibly, but it would actually be for Louis, just like when she dealt with Morgon.

As for Dina's signature weapon, it is naturally the magic sword in Molly's hands.

However, this weapon cannot be revealed to others for the time being. When there is no crisis, Dina still uses the rune sword, and Louis still carries a shield as a shield guard.

To maintain his shield-bearer persona, Louis handed over his nearly ruined mercury shield to the shopkeeper and paid fifteen gold coins for repairs and upgrades.

There's only one requirement: it just needs to be heavy and sturdy enough.

Repairing the Mercury Shield would take three days, and Louis's team returned after purchasing the equipment.

Although they were eager to get to Forrest, they had to wait until the Erihill squad left before making any decisions.

Otherwise, what if Ariel Cao discovers their whereabouts and specifically chases after them to accompany them?

"Brother, I'm learning Permanent Runes from my teacher. Once I master them, I can use them to upgrade everyone's equipment."

On the way home, Merry said very solemnly.

The little guy has always been reluctant to spend money extravagantly, and today he was heartbroken to see two hundred gold coins disappear just like that.

Upon hearing this, Louis and the others were very surprised.

Nora exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just complete your second job advancement? You've already met the requirements to learn the Permanent Rune?"

Although Nora wasn't a rune mage, her teacher was, and through her exposure, she understood what permanent runes were.

Simply put, it's a high-level rune magic for enchanting equipment, which can generally only be learned by a level 3 rune archmage.

Whether it's Dina's rune sword, the rune armor worn by Erisil, or even the magic pouch, the reason they are so expensive lies in the runes.

Rune Archmages are extremely rare; there may not be ten in the entire kingdom of Lor'theran.

The rune equipment they produce is expensive, and they charge an extra 10 gold coins for each day of work they take.

The prices for master-level figures will only be higher.

That's 10 gold coins a day! That's a whopping 300 gold coins a month, enough to bankrupt a young nobleman like Arwen who didn't inherit his father's title in a year!

Of course, inscribing permanent runes is an extremely demanding task, and most rune archmages only work for ten days a month. Even so, their annual income exceeds 1000 gold!

If Merry could master the Permanent Rune, this little guy could transform into a super money-printing machine!

Then Merry explained, "Originally, it wouldn't have been possible, but thanks to my 'Deep Understanding of Runes' talent, I barely met the standard for condensing a permanent rune."

"The difficulty of learning the Permanent Rune is not high. I feel that I can master it in another half month."

Nora gasped in shock.

Good Versailles' statement!

If learning permanent runes isn't difficult anymore, then what is?

It's important to know that many rune archmages need to spend years studying and researching to master permanent runes after changing jobs, and they have to invest a lot of tuition fees during that time. It's far from being able to make money as soon as you change jobs.

For you, it's practically a risk-free business?

"Junior brother!"

Nora's tone suddenly became friendly.

She leaned closer to Meli, tugging at her newly bought purple robe, which was unremarkable except for its good material, and said hopefully, "Senior sister, I'm a very, very poor, unfortunate mage. You see, I can only afford short robes. Once you learn the Permanent Rune, you must help me strengthen my robe first!"

Merry nodded obediently.

Louis, however, couldn't stand it any longer and pulled Nora aside.

Why is this girl so materialistic?

"Merry, after you learn the Permanent Rune, take a look and see if there's any room for improvement in my armor."

Louis coughed lightly and pointed to the steel half-armor he had just put on.

Merry:

Putting aside idle chatter, Louis was naturally very pleased that Mélich had the potential to become a money-printing machine.

But this leads to a problem.

If the Rune Archmage makes so much money, why does Senior Colin look so poor?

Did he spend all his savings after he died?

Louis asked Nora this question.

Nora curled her lip indignantly and said, "What other reason could there be? They're always being suppressed by certain people. In fact, my teacher turned into an undead so early, probably because he was under pressure from above."
