Chapter 284 Madness Of Runic Armaments



"What?! You want us to pay for the ores?!" Mathias asked, while his expression changed drastically, "...and here I thought we were friends…"

Mathias started to sulk, but Nial\'s expression was unreadable. Meanwhile, Miranda looked at the situation with a faint smile.

"Does that mean I should also demand you two to pay for my weapon and armor casts, and the smithy I brought with me from Liondra?" She asked, laughing lightly.

However, what she didn\'t expect was that Nial smiled faintly before he showed a cute expression, "I don\'t have any money left."

A moment later, Nial burst into laughter. He couldn\'t hold back anymore and it took him a few minutes to calm down.

"I was just joking about being paid," Nial quickly added, wiping the tears of joy out of his eyes\' corner just to sigh deeply as he revealed, "But I really don\'t have any money anymore…"

Nial smiled lightly while enduring the stupefied gazes that lingered on him.

"How…?! You have even more money than I have?!?" Mathias shouted in confusion, while Miranda\'s hand lunged out. She grasped the storage box and inserted her mana inside it to take a look at the contents within.

"Oh…shit…" Miranda gasped as her eyes widened in shock.

She looked at the goods stored inside the storage box before her head flicked to Nial. Afterward, her head moved back and forth several times.

"Where the hell did you find all of this?! This is worth a fortune…" Miranda asked, her voice cracking.

"What is inside…?" Mathias\' interest was piqued, so he quickly moved closer to Miranda, who pulled out four different types of minerals.

"There are tens of thousand beast parts that can be used to create various types of ungraded and Tier-0 runic armaments inside…these three ores on masse, and hundreds of thousands of magnatit crystals…" Miranda\'s voice started to tremble. There were tons of ores inside but the magnatit crystals delivered the final blow.

"Dark gold…a very tough material to forge but it has very good endurance and sharpness upon being crafted in a sword. High mana conductivity…very rare.

Niclan silver is a very flexible material that can be used to forge all kinds of comfortable metal armors. Highly endurable as long as the mana inserted in the armor is used for the purpose of protection. It is said to feel the intention of its wearer, a sign of sentience, but that hasn\'t been proven…very high mana conductivity…which is exceptionally rare.

Titanium Copper is the best ore for the creation of the sharpest weapon. Good endurance but low flexibility…high mana conductivity…rare," Mathias recited what he had learned about all these ores. As a Runicier it was important to know what kinds of ores were best to create runic armaments.

The best were obviously ores with high mana conductivity and various other special traits which would have a high impact on the final result of specific runic armaments.

Even if the inscribed runic constellations would be inscribed with 100% perfection if the wrong material was used, the final result would be disappointing.

Thus, Mathias was just as shocked as Miranda when he saw the three ores. He looked at Nial in doubt and was starting to wonder what must have happened in the few days he and Miranda left the Forest of Life.

"But…what is this crystal? You seem very interested in it, master…" Mathias noticed that Miranda didn\'t even pay attention to the three special and extremely valuable ores. She looked at the magnatit crystal with a bright smile and gleaming eyes.

"This crystal…is just the only ingredient nobody could find in any of Jundra\'s numerous dungeons…it was the last ingredient that was missing to create mana-dense runic solutions!" Miranda was excited, which was clearly visible.

She caressed the magnatit crystals for close to a minute until she realized something that turned her serious all of a sudden.

"Wait…if you found the magnatit crystals won\'t others be able to get their hands on some as well?? We need to hurry up and start concocting and creating Tier-0 runic armaments with it. Now is our time to get rich!!" Miranda exclaimed, raising the magnatit crystal in the air as if it was the most precious good that had ever existed.

However, Mathias could only frown.

"Will we really be able to create Tier-0 runic armaments with mana-dense runic solutions? If not, we might waste lots of money on the resources we have spent on creating the mana dense runic solutions…" Mathias asked skeptically.

He looked at the magnatit crystal with a frown, only for Nial to interfere.

"Did you reach a mastery of 80% in the inscription process of the [Sharpness] and [Endurance] runic constellations?" Nial suddenly asked.

Mathias tried to avoid Nial the moment he heard the question only to sigh deeply before he shook his head.

"I\'m still at around 75%. But I wanted to ask you about a few clues to know what I can improve because I am pretty sure that I\'m close to making a breakthrough!" Mathias tried to defend himself against Nial\'s attack but it was useless.

Runic constellations worked as long as their \'perfection\' was above 70%. Their effect would be lousy at a perfection of 70% but the runic constellation would somehow work. The higher the perfection grade was the higher the potency of the inscribed runic constellation.

"As you know, common runic constellations such as the most ordinary [Sharpness] and [Endurance] runic constellations are usually used for ungraded weapons, right?" Nial asked, to which Mathias nodded his head.

"By now, you should also know that these common runic constellations can create a Tier-0 runic weapon as long as the right ores were used to inscribe on the runic constellation.

As long as you have a perfection of 95% your [Sharpness] and [Endurance] runic constellations will create Tier-0 runic armaments…on each of the materials I brought, whether it is the dark gold, Niclan silver or the titanium copper!" Nial spoke calmly while acting like a teacher, who was trying to tell his student something he should already know by now.

Mathias didn\'t mind Nial\'s attitude as he nodded his head vigorously.

"But what would you think if I were to tell you that you need only a perfection of 90% to create a Tier-0 runic armament with the exact same runic constellations which we have practiced? The only thing we need is the mana-dense runic solution, which Miranda can concoct on a large scale now that we have the Magnatit crystals!

And nobody except us will be able to create the mana-dense runic solution for the time being because I took everything!" Nial laughed out loud, letting his emotions loose for once. He might have paid a huge fortune but he could tell that he would earn back his expenses several times over.

"So you are saying that nobody can get their hands on more Magnatit crystals for the time being?" Miranda asked to make sure. She looked at Nial as if he was a treasure. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of being able to create Tier-0 runic armaments.

"Exactly. I found the Magnatit crystals inside an underground cave within the Nightfall valley dungeon. There were a few others with me so we emptied the entire cave. As long as the others don\'t reveal the Magnatit crystals\' existence, or others won\'t find another cave with a vein of magnatit crystals we will be fine," Nial said calmly before he added,

"At least we can do that until the next reset of the Nightfall valley\'s dungeon. But that should take a while considering that it had just been reseted a day ago. Everyone should be mining more dark gold, Niclan silver, and titanium copper!"

Nial was happy but that was only obvious. As long as they had the mana-dense runic solution, their runic armaments would increase in value. Nial had a perfection grade close to 90%, meaning that he should be able to create Tier-0 runic armaments the moment Miranda finished concocting the runic solution!

Who wouldn\'t be happy to be able to use them?

The mana-dense runic solution created out of magnatit crystals from an expert dungeon may not be the best but it was more than enough for their current need. After all, they weren\'t trying to create Tier-1, let alone Tier-2 runic armaments right now!

"So, I shouldn\'t use this runic solution as long as it has no value for me, right? It would be best for me to keep using the Black Iron to improve my perfection of the [Sharpness] and [Endurance] runic constellation…" Mathias asked, sounding a bit disappointed.

He could tell that the mana-dense runic solution was much better than he first thought. He would have loved to create Tier-0 runic armaments. Even Originals at the Mirae rank would love to use them. Their worth was exceptional, after all.

However, instead of feeling too disappointed, Mathias quickly got a hang of his emotions. He clenched his fist and looked up with determination.

"I will catch up with both of you in no time, and I will become an even better Runicier than the Elves!!" He swore out loud. Nial smiled in return, but Miranda could only shatter Mathias\' moment as she made a revelation.

"Sorry, Mathias…but I will also keep using the weapon cast with Black Iron. My perfection grade is barely at 80%. I would be wasting the precious mana dense runic solution if I were to use it with my perfection grade," Miranda smiled lightly while speaking before he patted his back to console him.

"Let\'s catch up with Nial, otherwise, he will take everything for himself…though all of this stuff belongs to Nial, either way," Miranda chuckled lightly as she looked at Nial.

Her disciple\'s expression was solemn but she could tell that he was a bit confused about what was going on.

"Can\'t we just start creating runic armaments? We have enough resources to create hundreds of thousands of Tier-0 runic armaments. Shouldn\'t we make use of that as quickly as possible? It\'s time for you guys to speed up a bit!" Nial tried to provoke his master and his friend a bit.

This worked out perfectly fine as Miranda pointed at him, her finger moving around as if she was angered.

"You!! To think that my disciple will mock me at my age. You really want to challenge me?!" She shouted out, acting as if she was truly angered.

Mathias joined the fray, feeling that he was quite lucky to have found a great master and an even better friend. He acted as if he was angry and played around inside the wooden hut.

After a few minutes passed, they calmed down and got back to work.

"I will claim a small piece of land near the Forest of Life. The Elves shouldn\'t have problems with handing it over if I say that it is for you, Nial and that we want to create a large-scale \'factory\' to create runic armaments. Your loyal Elves will probably take all necessary precautions to protect the Forest from the smithy\'s fire. Maybe Crevian will even come over to take a look.

He would be shocked to see the mana-dense runic solution..hehe," Miranda sounded extremely childish right now. Nial could only smile weirdly at this but it was not as if he disliked their calmness.

Somehow, it felt like their life had returned to normal and that the trouble with the Dryx was just a bad dream.

Unfortunately, it was not just a dream and it was obvious that more trouble awaited them.

But even if that was the case, enjoying life from time to time was important as well.

Nial worked hard to get their hands on everything necessary to create ungraded and Tier-1 runic armaments. They would not only manufacture ordinary weapons, armors, and accessories out of the ores Nial mined but it was also important to make use of the body parts Nial had collected.

They could learn a lot by acquiring a wide range of experiences with different types of runic armaments and runic constellations.

Nial may have the most experience with runic constellations, even more so since his Ancient Origin ring had been his best product for now. It was the best Nial had created with his talent but it was also only the first of nine Origin rings.

And Nial wanted the secondary Ancient Origin ring to be even better than the first one!

To achieve this, he would need time and practice, both of which he had…for now.
