Chapter 133 Runic Shield. (1/2)

‘I should get this over with first…’

Roland was back ho back he repri a pervert Bernir just explained that he just gave the woman fro down in front of hi for Bernir’s safety as that beastwoman would probably be able to crush Bernir’s neck like a ripe lanced at her classes and he noticed that she had leveled a warrior class at tier 1 together with the blacksmith class

She had a bit of unique class distribution as she had gone through 25 levels of weaponsmith and was now an armorsmith with 20 levels to her This meant that at level 100 she would be able to switch classes again, to what he could only speculate She seeht have had some ties to non-union merchants that could help him

It seemed that he was universally disliked by the dwarves in this city There were soht have even been tier 3 but there were no runesive hi boost to his wares as he had the first adapter privileges here The proble chunk of thea deal with the adventurer’s guild

Even the union could not go against theuards to protect their merchants and more This didn’t uild, it felt a bit constricting Being reliant on just one source was always an unwanted turn of events

“It feels as if I was gone for a year…”

Roland opened up his workshop and was greeted by the usual stuffy air This was quickly alleviated by pressing a button on the wall One to turn on the light while the other turned on special runes that purified the air

“What you can do with some frost and wind runes”

He took a deep breath and could feel the fresh air entering his lungs This rune that he developed would make any AC y and was actually good for the environht an idea to Roland’s uild he could probably convince the guild master to use some of his runes

Froh actual runic knowledge he realized so The Runesmiths here weren’t very flexible They stuck to the old schematics and didn’t even try to innovate

All the runes on the weapons were all the sarades There was so much a runesmith could do to affect the runic structures They could still hest rated rune but turn down the output for someone that had low mana reserves

They could also do the exact opposite and crank it up This would allow people to pick and choose ite skills while others aiht e

This could be done with the basic sharpness rune It could turn a blade into a one-hit kill skill by using up ular rune on the other hand only used a s condition and the rune fro

With that in mind, he could burst out onto the market with new innovative weapons Weapons tailored to specific classes that took into account their unique characteristics Ones that had multiple features for every occasion and even ones that abandoned all safety for that one last-ditch attack Everything could be done but it would take soets a feel for the et to work…’

Roland placed two books on his workbench One looked h old scrolls This ‘book’ showed him how to build the Runic furnace in which he would be able to melt the mana stones The other one was a lot thinner as it had the recipes for soic alloys would work as if they had an i a mix the runic structures would actually workthe specific runic structure for the mana stone socket would not be needed

This would also allow hi knives or throwing stars Those kinds of disposable weapons could turn into deadly bo and ai effects and even poison ones that didn’t require the thief to dip the knives into any liquid Thanks to this it would be quite safe to handle them even by so this sh while closing the books filled with crafting knowledge Instead of the s He placed it on the saain first

Heavy Kite shi+eld

High

A heavy shi+eldto its user but requires a th to use The user suffers a penalty to their mobility if the requireotten a lot better Thanks to it he could even tell the strength require it Tier 1 classes would have a hard ti it in place as it was quite thick and bulky Thanks to this bulkiness he would have so that would hold the runic structures for quite some time

Also thanks to this he could insert the mana stones into the rear side of the shi+eld by just drilling into it The holes would be shallow but it would be enough to place the lue made by the alchemists from this world it would stay in place Previously he needed to wedge it inside and have it physically stick in but noas ot to work First, he needed to design the runic structure to fit this shi+eld His brother liked the idea of having a e this one was, there was enough place to allow Roland to do this

He drew four circles around the handle that would be then drilled out to house the mana stones Each mana stone would come from a specific elemental creature which would ad a boost to the elemental runic structure

There was no end to red eon was fire-based and the brown earth mana stones were also plentiful The rarest kind would be the ice one which he had to take out froer points would be placed by the shi+eld handle Depending on which digit Robert used it would activate the corresponding spell effect Besides these four there would be another special effect that would be activated by injecting the h all four points at once

Roland learned a few special ways that he could activate the spells which didn’t require all separate trigger points Thanks to this he saved up on space while being able to er space

For people, without the mana sense skill, it was a bit hard to learn to control these types of items Everyone was able to inject their mana into runic iteers and not the entire hand

Within a few hours, he had the schee piece of parch skill, it was at the interave him more experience as always but at his current level, this wasn’t much

Soon the shi+eld found its way on the drilling table It was clamped down in place for safety reasons and was ready to be drilled in

The drilling table that he created was still utilizing his old drill It possessed a crank on the side hich he could lower the drill down With a couple of movements, the drill bit descended to the previously sketched on hole Soon four identical openings that were in the shape of a tilted square were around the handle

With those now in place, it was ti the shi+eld needed to be heated up Even with his enhanced skills, it would be hard to force the runic structures in without previously softening this shi+eld up a bit

The heated-up shi+eld was grasped by Roland He did not use any tongs as he had loves for himself With the fire

His grip was as strong as a vice which meant that he did not have to worry about the shi+eldout of place as he hammered it

Soon the workshop was filled with the noise of the face of his ha the deep steel shi+eld The traces slowly took shape while glowing bright red before settling down and beco drained at a staggering pace but it took a while before it dropped below fifty percent At this point, he needed to take a breather or suffer the onset of the mana debuffs

‘This will probably take two or three days to ets better, the time it takes stays about the sa this runic shi+eld time continued to pass The nobles mostly remained in the better part of the city with notoutside This was not due to Percival not allowing it but by their own volition

There were not many nobles like Lucille De Vere that were interested in the way the co around the city which caused probleuild master

This was also hen they caether with two familiar faces

“Why are you here?”

“Hey Wayland, how’s it hanging? Do you wear that armor even at your home? Isn't it hard to work in?”

An extroverted half-elf called out to Roland froether with these two nobles and to her side was his favorite idiot

“I’m not here because I want to, blast that old fart”

Aruild uard for this pair of nobles This was probably the right call, having a noble be snatched up for ranso that he would want

“GoodSir Wayland I ”

Lucille curtsied a little bit while hiding in the shade of her umbrella

“Can those two stay outside?”
