Chapter 48 Thinking back and new discoveries. (1/2)

The sound of distant barking broke the silence of the night It was faintly noticeable between the howling wind that rattled the uneven s in Roland’s rooht from his candle flickered as it danced around

The youngboth his hands behind his head and looking at the ceiling He was spacing out while thinking about the future He had already spent aln world and he still felt like he didn’t belong here

He thought back to the day that he had arrived He was confused and scared, the people in his so-called new hoinal Roland was a five-year-old child and didn’t know much about the world His old memories had already faded into obscurity and he wasn’t sure why his siblings were so distant The only reason he could find was his mother that was still a mystery to this day

There were no photos or paintings of her left in the mansion The child that was once Roland couldn’t recall her face either Apparently, she had died giving birth to him but if that was the truth or not was unknown His status was showing that he was 100 human so he didn’t think she would turn out to be a demon lord like in some fantasy tales that he read in his free time

Then there were his three brothers He didn’t really interact with the other two that were of noble birth and the youngest hated his guts The reason was also a e nonsense That brother’s hter of a merchant to be precise

He remembered a few instances where that brother of his lashed out at him Luckily, hts broke out It would be really unfortunate if he got beat up by a child only a few years older than his new body Roland also kept to hi in some secluded spots to train his skills

He wasn’t sure what his brothers were up to now Did they finish the knight acadeetting e and power? Maybe they were lucky enough to nab themselves someone that they actually liked

Normally a youth that had a warrior class and was froht academy to train Just as the na nobles The curriculum of such an acadeht had to kno to read and present thes like etiquette, languages fro A lot of went into a knight and they had to train in particular skills to unlock the more noble versions of their classes

If you wanted to achieve a knight class first you needed a tier 1 Squire class Depending on the choices of other tier 1 classes you could rank up to a tier 2 knight eventually

For instance, if you were lucky enough to have a mana warrior class and a Squire class, you could then quickly switch to a tier 2 Mana Knight Then depending on your ele like a Flaht There were various combinations to this class as well as the others

His mind drifted away from his fa that five-year stop It was his ure He had certain emotions towards that woman but he s from his host’s body

She was so to drop her cushy job back at the Arden estate and co in a warehouse that would probably be quite chilly if he wasn’t a blacksmith who used a lot of hother Sending her a letter was one option but it could very well be intercepted by someone from the noble house He didn’t knoho hired the first assassin that went after hi more if they knehere he lived

Roland shook his head as he tried not to think about his old fa that he had left behind a long tio He was nowclass His runic swords were being sold to the adventurers already and he was earning a hefty sue

This was still not nearly enough to start his own business though He would probably have to go to a different tohere he could set up a shop A tohere the prices for real estate were a lot lower than here The taxes also depended on the nobles that ruled the lands He looked over some potential new places but he was still on the fence

It would probably be a lot easier to live his life here He would probably get a neorkshop after ranking up to tier 2 Maybe even some tier 1 blacksh the co for Still, he would be only part of a biggerin it but still not his own htly troubleso his oorkshop

He rolled to one side of his bed and then to the other before finally getting up For some reason, he couldn’t sleep He activated the life detection ical device that he had made and couldn’t see any eneotten quiteat his workshop There were no more assassination atteno up his part of the contract and he ell protected

Roland grabbed a stack of papers fro his own research in hopes of discovering a new skill

The people in this world were very reliant on their skills It was thus very hard to come by any type of research ave a person the knowledge instantly without really giving them time to conte to ride a horse without havinga horse was the superior type of travel but if you got off your horse you couldn't go anywhere Thus it was hard for a person to research other sie to do so

This hy Roland was now re-educating hi skill for his runes Without it, he would probably not be able to improve a lesser rune by himself At least not before he started his own research Noas able to see some of the patterns and even understand the technique he wanted to learn, the one that would boost his items to another level It was the one that melded mana stones into the runic structure and powered them

There were two main ways that this technique worked One was by so hotprocess The runesmith would create a special mana alloy that would retain more ambient mana in itself These special alloys would then allow a runesmith to make weapons with lower require this and the prices were also higher Of course, the way of doing this was hidden away by the runes for it as they weren't willing to aid their competition

This was considered to be the superior technique compared to the other one There were even superior versions of it that worked on materials other than metal But they apparently required special sether
