183 The paths for Origin Runemaster (1/2)

Once he had secured the Underworld Forge, the coldness and calculative light in Zatiel eyes disappeared and he returned to normal.

Only then the Neo-Demon noticed the way the others were looking at him. It was a combination of confusion and concern.

”Sorry about that, it is an old habit I have. When things truly important happens around me I turn to my most primal behavior.” Zatiel was smiling and his expression was serene.

”Can you tell us what is so special about the forge?” Zitra eyes were burning with curiosity.

When Heinz, Totto, and Sophia hear the Magus question they all focus on Zatiel, and their expressions were the same that the woman.

Unfortunately for them, Zatiel shakes his head immediately.

”Sometimes only knowing something could bring you danger. I would not speak about the functions or history of the forge even to my Will.” Zatiel expression was firm and it was clear he will not change his mind.

When they heard this, they feel disappointed about not be able to satisfy their curiosity but that was it. They have an idea about the level of trust that Zatiel has on Ezequiel and the fact he would not tell him made clear that the secrecy was to ensure safety.

”When I can put activate it, I will invite you to see its wonders.” Zatiel eyes shined with excitement as he thought about the Underworld Forge.

”You are not able to use it yet?” Totto was surprised. By how urgently Zatiel wanted the forge he though he will be using it soon.

”Hahahaha, of course not. To activate the forge, even the energy of a Rank 6 life form will not be enough.” Zatiel gives a meaningful look at the others and then he proceeds to remain silent. This was the most they will get about the forge from him.

But just this fact was more than enough to shock everyone. A Rank 6 life form has about the same amount of energy as the sun of a Low World and yet they could not power up the forge.

The auction continues regardless of the state of the group and dozen of articles were displayed.

The items that the trio put in the auction were also revealed and most of them were sold at relatively high prices increasing their wealth and allowing them to buy some items.

The things they bought next were not very impressive and cost them just a couple of hundreds of million magic crystal.

Heinz bought a sword sheath that could repair any damage done to his sword and also some pills that could help to improve his speed of training.

Zitra and Totto were able to find some items that could help them heal injuries on their bodies and consciousness.

It was when the first day of the auction was reaching its end that a book with a blue cover appeared on the platform.

The book looks not different than the ones you could find in an old library and the only thing that calls the attention was the material which was used to make the pages.

”This is the 'Book of rune crafting'. It was written with an ancient type of runes and altered with an energy capable of affecting the mind. To have access to the knowledge contained in it, you will need to have physical contact with the book at all times, and once broken you will forget it. Any attempt to copy the information in the book will result in the self-destruction of this one.”

Minser description draws the attention of a lot of people. It was clear now that the book was special and someone went to great lengths to safeguard the information in it.

”This book contains all the information you will need to know to embark on the path of a runemaster from the most basic procedures to the most complicated ones. There is a guide that can allow anyone regardless of their talent to reach Rank 3 Runemaster as long as their energy pools are high enough.” Minser stops there and he focuses on the reaction of the crowd.

Desire could be seen in every Rank 3 Magi in the auditorium and also in some Rank 4.

A Rank 3 Runemaster is useful for any organization but the runes they could make are useless to the high ranking individuals that control them so the book only draws a little of their attention.

But everything changed when Minser says his next words.

”There are several paths described in the book that can provide help for a talented person to advance from Rank 3 Runemaster to Origin Runemaster with a chance of success of 20%.”
