Chapter 241: Bothering (1/2)
”The Elmoon Ash, five grams of it.” Arthur read the first item on the tablet. ”What is this used for?”
”Uh, night illusions.” Erik scratched his head. ”Most of these items are for high-tier runes.”
”Do you mean that high-tier runes require different materials?” Arthur asked with intrigue. ”Every single one of them?”
”Basic knowledge, uh…”
”Alexie.”
”Yes, Alexie. If you want to get out of the logistic team, you should do a better job at studying. Start with the library, it has many useful books. Now, get to work.” Erik pointed at the boxes. Arthur turned to them and saw that they were labeled with the words Elmoon Ash.
As he packed a few orders, Arthur thought about the current situation. He knew that he did well in his exam, so it was a misunderstanding.
However, it wasn't a necessarily bad misunderstanding. Did he need to work in a research team to learn runes? No, his situation was different. Arthur didn't need to understand the details about a rune to get better at other runes, he simply needed to learn as many runes as he can.
Researching a single rune would stagger his growth. That's why the logistic team sounded like a perfect place for him. Although he would need to get work done as a logistic member, he would have the rest of the day alone.
No professors, no one to watch him. It was perfect for him. Rather than graduate from the logistic team, Arthur began fearing that they might take it away from him.
'Maybe I needed to fake my test score,' Arthur sighed as he carried the boxes toward the portal. The first delivery was for the fifth floor, a total of five deliveries.
”Fifth floor,” Arthur said and walked into the portal. When he walked out, he was in a glass-made hallway. He was able to see every room on the floor and the people working inside. Some rooms were dark as if the glass was painted.
'Lab 39,' Arthur read his order and started looking for it. '35, 36… 39.' Arthur stood in front of the black painted glass door and knocked. After a few moments, the door turned transparent.
”Logistic?” The woman blinked from behind the door. ”Come in,” She opened the door and Arthur stood there blankly. This woman was beautiful, but that's wasn't it. He was shocked because he met her before.
The youngest genius runes master, Julia Vinera. They had met during his exam in Kera city, and she didn't leave the best impression on him by siding with that guy.
”Uh, yes. Elmoon Ash?” Arthur regained his senses and walked inside, placing the box on the table he found.
”Oh, we meet again.” A voice came from behind him, making him turn to see who it was. It was the gentleman from earlier, who looked as fascinated by the runes as Arthur. ”Are you new?”
”Yes, as it is obvious.” Arthur laughed politely. ”It is said here that you need Elmoon Ash?”
”Yes, leave it on that table.” The man pointed toward a table in the middle where a single disk lied. From the disk came out a holographic runic line. It was a 3D runic structure, one that consisted of layers.
”Is it your first time seeing a high-tier rune?” Julia came from behind him and stood beside Arthur. ”Well, it might be uncommon to hear about this before you get admitted to Jerano, but high-tier runes consist of several other runes.”
”For example,” The man walked over. ”This rune is about night illusions. It consists of several underlying runes that control wind, darkness, light, and temperature.”
”How is it an illusion of it is consistent with real things?” Arthur asked as he remembered his encounter with Dimon.
”Well, the closer an illusion is to reality, the more complex it becomes. If it only affects the mind, then it's easily broken.”
”Isn't this more like a barrier than an illusion?”
”It's an illusive barrier, one that would be used in large-scale army tactics.” The man smiled. Julia, however, seemed annoyed by Arthur's questions.
”Sir, you can't reveal the details of our work like that.” She insisted.
”Relax, the logistic teams are crucial to us. We need to offer some reward somehow, right?” The man winked at Arthur, making him smile. Leaving a polite nod, Arthur left the room.
He hadn't expected to run into a familiar person here, but he couldn't say that it was that surprising. Julia was the youngest runes master; she'd have a place in Jerano's research department. The only thing that bothered him is that… Julia was kind of snobby.
This brought him to the question of whether she was truly the youngest runes' master based on her skills or connection. However, that didn't concern him at the moment. After all, he was a simple delivery guy.
