Chapter 240 – Children Playing on the Side (2/2)

“Grandfather, what little black board in the library?” Laura was also extremely curious. Could it be that grandfather knows his ident.i.ty? Even though he might appear to be All-Mouthy King, her grandfather wouldn’t show much interest in that. He focused more on higher level rune pattern theories and principles, not personal combat prowess.

But Old Potter simply waved his hand. Screw Calderon or Laura, he didn’t have time for them! He immediately gave an impatient reply, “Shoo! You little brats can go play somewhere else! As if you guys will know what we are talking about. Don’t partic.i.p.ate in stuff blindly!”

Everyone around them were close to turning into rocks. This is so embarra.s.sing…

Although Laura didn’t think too much of it, Calderon and Socrates were around forty years of age. Yet, in the end, they had been addressed as little brats.

Old Potter didn’t bother to entertain anyone else, yet he continued to show an exceeding friendly stance toward w.a.n.g Zhong. It was as though he were pulling along his grandson-in-law, one that appeared particularly pleasing to his eyes. He directly pulled w.a.n.g Zhong to the sofa Calderon and the others had previously sat on.

Calderon, Socrates, and the rest hastily followed, bellies br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity as they wanted to know the exact situation. But Old Potter started to chase them away more actively. “You little kids go off and play elsewhere. Don’t come here and disturb us. Little Laura, is there any more of that can of ‘Clouds and Mist’ grandfather told you to put away last time?”

“Ah?” Laura was now really on the point of losing her rational thinking.

From a single glance, Old Potter could tell there was some left. “Oi, foolish la.s.s. What’s the matter? Hurry up and boil a pot for grandfather and w.a.n.g Zhong.”

Laura instantly turned a bit dizzy. That can of ‘Clouds and Mist’ was a precious treasure of Old Potter. He was even afraid his old tea drinking buddies would find out about it, so he specially had her store it in her private garden. But he was actually willing to take it out and serve it to w.a.n.g Zhong? Exactly what demonic art did this guy cast on Old Potter?

Everyone was now in a statue-like state, especially Student Sully and the other sir vice-captains. Their brains were close to exploding. What the f.u.c.k was all this about!?

Being the fastest to snap out of his petrified state, Calderon smiled as he said, “Headmaster Schoffel definitely came here to find w.a.n.g Zhong for some matter. Let us give the two some s.p.a.ce. I heard Miss Laura invited the best grill chefs in Copperfield over for tonight. Haha. I’m really getting hungry now!”

After he spoke, he and Socrates took the lead and walked straight out. No matter how curious they were of these two, this one old, one young duo, it wouldn’t do them any good to continue staying there. Moments later, the entire large hall was completely emptied out and vacated.

Old Potter couldn’t care less about all of these. The only thing that could catch his attention was the youth sitting right in front of him.

As for w.a.n.g Zhong, his impression of Schoffel was that of a straightforward, outspoken old man with just a few twists and turns in his emotions. When Old Potter opened his mouth, he immediately asked about the two questions on the little black board in the library. He didn’t spare a single praise for w.a.n.g Zhong’s high level perception and understanding.

“You praise me too much, sir headmaster. That was just an odd flash of divine light, that’s all,” said w.a.n.g Zhong. He was completely overwhelmed by the shame of being overly praised. He had previously a.s.sumed those questions had been casually written by some random student of Copperfield Academy.

Old Potter slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Just call me Old Potter. Your flash of divine light is definitely extraordinary. I already developed a rational conclusion based off your answer and feel I can form a small-sized spatial part.i.tion. The only thing lacking is the theory behind how that comes into existence as a system of the rune pattern system. Accurately speaking, this should be called life rune patterns.”

w.a.n.g Zhong’s verifications of his question made Old Potter exceeding excited. This was opening a brand new world for him. Although it was but a window, it was still completely different from the previously blurry scene he had been observing through in the past.

Nodding, w.a.n.g Zhong said, “That’s right. This rune pattern design is br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality. In fact, with just a certain degree of self-adjustment it still possesses much differences from our own rune pattern art. What I feel, however, is that each system as their own unique trait. I feel this life rune pattern is actually closer to dimensional essence.”

When he heard w.a.n.g Zhong’s explanation, Old Potter turned a bit dazed before he started to size w.a.n.g Zhong up. “You good brat. I truly underestimated that Moore fellow. If Tianjing’s rune pattern system is already at this level, then us Copperfield guys can simply shut our operations down. We two happen to hold the same view, which is that dimensional energy gives us many hints. It’s just that the influence of science is too great. From the looks of it, we had tossed away a watermelon in order to enjoy the sesame seed.”

Smiling, w.a.n.g Zhong replied, “Perhaps you’re right. But at the very least, rune pattern techniques have helped our Federation endure the previous Dark Era. Life rune patterns don’t seem to have any conflict with the current techniques used, so anyone interested is free to dig deeper.”

As the ‘creator’, w.a.n.g Zhong could naturally feel the convenience of that ‘miniature temporary spatial pouch’. Even so, the current level of rune patterns possessed by the Federation made it so that creating such a life rune pattern array required sufficient control over one’s soul power. Simply speaking, it required someone who was able to entire the hyperdimension with simply their spiritual soul. This was like a paper covering a window. If one knew, then one knew. If one didn’t know, then one wouldn’t ever know.
