Chapter 15 Loot and Research (2/2)

"Well"

Becky just covered herto hide the long blade behind his back

"That's fine, you can have it we can sell his armor don't think it will fit anyone here He also has a spital bag you go play around with your new toy, let me check this out first"

Rebecca said while Roland irls were taking the loot Roland started exa it around while holding it in his right hand, the sas, of course, different than his previous one and required a slightly different set of skills He looked over to a tree and thrust the tip of this rapier into it, he then injected some of his mana into the weapon Theand just like when the man did it before, the part that had the sword tip stuck in it exploded intoby quite the chunk, this siical effect used up more than his mana arrow or even his mana barrier spell He lost close to 100 mana points, which for him wasn't that much as he had over a thousand by now For others it would be a large number, pure warrior classes such as the man that was after him shouldn't have much above 500 MP even as a tier 2

This was so books and his own experience He couldn't check as his identification skill wouldn't let him peek at other people's stats, at least not yet Even with the added levels, fighter-type classes didn't have that many mana points, so he didn't think that he was that much off on his assumption This was probably why that man didn't use his enchanted weapon all that often

After he tested out his neeapon he got scolded by the girls that heard a loud explosion It was tieon to dispose of the man's body They went all the way over to the third floor and threw the man's remains at tereboars that were happy tothe whole corpse disposing process as he had s to think about He felt like so to erase evidence, it didn't sit that ith him but it had to be done if he didn't want others to be snooping around

"You okay there?"

Rebecca asked while the three looked at hi about so a huet used to it, in this line of work"

Sahildr responded while walking with her areon and just chatting On the other hand, Reyna just approached him and patted his head

"There, there"

Roland looked up at the wolf girl that was the closest to his height just patting away He still couldn't figure out what this one was thought abouttreated like a small child, that he actually was

"I'uys don't need to worry Still, thanks for the help"

Roland rubbed his nose while lowering his head In the end, these three had aided hi for much in return He earned a couple of hard smacks to his back from Sahildr and a nod from Rebecca that just said that he didn't need to worry about it After returning to the city they split, the girls headed out to get rid of the s while Roland retired to his inn rooave out a sigh He recalled the battle that he just went through but in reality, he felt like he didn't dostabbed in the shoulder and his calf The low-quality potions weren't able to close those wounds fully so he was still hurting

'I just run away if the girls didn't show up I'd be six feet under'

He remained on the bed, after the adrenaline left his body he felt really tired The stress fro him on his feet slowly faded away and he fell asleep It was still theand the whole event only took a couple of hours

After the little nap, he rolled over His eyes wide open as he started to decide on his next move

"Well, at least now I have a runic weapon"

He jumped off his bed and went over to his wooden table He placed the heavy rapier on it and the crystal that was used to change his class next to it

'I feel like I should try exa the stone, it's related to runes and I a to be a Runesmith It probably won't hurt if I play around with it'

Ever since seeing Sahildr's enchanted ha more interested in this craft What were runes really and how did they even work? The books at the Arden estate didn't have much information about them at all, they only had so ic acadeic books

He moved his eyes closer to the bladed tip, the runes were concentrated on that spot and they looked like strange symbols From his previous tests, he knew that this runic enchants from the inside It would soy at the blade's tip There was e in scope and easy to examine

He focused on those sy tiny lines just like before For soe reason, the ot enhanced and it felt like he was looking through a lass He could clearly see those tiny lines just like last time The closer he looked the more of them he discovered, for some reason they looked quite similar to electrical pathways on circuits that were also known as 'traces'

'Interesting'

They went all throughout those runic sy one closed circuit After further exa up in various colors There were red ones, blue ones, and green ones

'What if I activate the rune with ently injected his mana into the weapon He opened up his eyes wide as he tried not toHis blue h those small pathith quite the speed The moment his mana reached the end of this runic circuit the effect on the tip of the sas activated

Heit at hi The small controlled explosion occurred just like before, luckily unless this sas inserted into soe wasn't great either He noticed so this test

'The h the blue ones for some reason also these blue paths'

He blinked a couple of ti these lines The moment he did he saw the fluorescent lines that were over the runic pathways vanish as if he deactivated a skill The moment he did that he noticed that the blue lines that he saeren't actually going over any of those pathways as the red and green ones did

'Wait could it be that but why'

He had a sneaking suspicion of what this allwhat he used up froeneration into account he still had lessso at those runic sy so over his spells and skills, he finally ended up with two that could be the culprit

'Debugger or circuitry skills'

'If those lines are what I think they are, then it's probably the debugger skill but are runes considered soein? Aren't those passive skills? Why a mana? '

He wasn't sure but it see skill was showing hi hireen ones were the correct pathways that were already put in place and the blue ones were the right ones that the red ones should probably be changed into

The runes also had other components besides these pathways, the blue lines probably showed the most efficient way to place those traces

'I wonder if you rearrange those pathways if the efficiency of this rune would change Maybe the poould also go up a notch?'

He was quite into it now, the problee this rune He decided to grab a pen and paper and draw the iraphy skill training this wasn't really hard, but besides those runic pathways, there were components akin to transistors, resistors, capacitors, and various others For now, he decided to just redraw the whole schematic with the improved version

If he focused, he could make the red pathways disappear and this allowed hiram His quil moved slowly and precisely He was so focused that he didn't even notice that this drawing took hi aas slowly as possible After finishi+ng up he grasped the paper with both his hands and looked at the finished product

His debugging skill was activated and he could see everything lighting up in green This indicated that he had ram He nodded to himself and placed the paper down on the desk but the mo out
