Wizard Bloodline

"Runes cannot be used directly, they need to be engraved on the tools.

The professions of tool enchanters and rune engravers were born"

Ronan was excited when he saw this.

He was going to study the profession of rune engravers.

Generally speaking, to make a tool, you need to forge the prototype of the tool with materials first, and then engrave the runes that the maker wants on the core of the tool to give it power.

But if you engrave it directly, if you make a mistake in the middle, the whole tool will be damaged, wasting materials.

So the usual steps are that the rune master will engrave the rune on the rune stone first, and then the enchanter will use the rune stone engraved with the corresponding rune to enchant the tool.

In this way, even if the enchantment fails, only the rune stone will be lost, and it will not affect the tool itself.

The major professional skills in the wizard world are alchemy, forging, enchantment, and runes. Although rune engraving is ranked at the bottom, once learned, it is enough for practitioners to live a better life than ordinary wizards.

Ronan chose rune engraving mainly because it has the lowest threshold and the lowest learning cost.

This is also the idea of ​​his predecessor.

After flipping through most of the wizard books in his hand, he finally found the specific content about rune engraving.

The book "Rune Literature: Collection of Ten Common Zero-Order Runes" in Ronan's hand introduces a total of ten common zero-order rune engraving methods.

These ten commonly used zero-order runes are - [Absorbing Light], [Clean], [Shining], [Conduction], [Solid], [Sharp], [Protection], [Swift], [Giant Power], [Sober].

Ronan had already made a preliminary understanding of the prices of most of the runes at the stall where he bought blank rune stones during the day.

"The three runes [Absorb Light], [Clean], and [Shining] belong to the low-level 0th order, with the lowest price, and generally only cost one or two magic stones.

Among the four intermediate 0th order runes [Conduction], [Solidity], [Sharpness], and [Protection], the [Protection] rune is the most valuable, starting at five low-level magic stones.

As for the three runes [Swiftness], [Strength], and [Clear], they are usually used on jewelry tools such as rings and necklaces, and belong to the high-level 0th order runes. Among them, the [Clear] rune has the highest value. It can enhance the effect of meditation during cultivation, focus the mind during battle, increase the success rate of spellcasting, and resist some spiritual spell attacks. The price is more than ten low-level magic stones."

"These are the most common and common 0th order general runes. If they are at the same level as rarer spell runes, the price will be much higher."

Ronan remembered the short sword magic tool that would emit fire that he saw at the market. It must have been enchanted with some rare fire spell runes.

"These fifteen blank rune stones, even if I can only successfully engrave one of the most common and cheapest runes... it's enough to make back the money."

"Oh no, it should be twenty!"

Ronan quickly stood up and rummaged through the utility box in the corner of the hut, and finally found a pile of rune stones and a palm-sized knife.

The things were naturally left by his predecessor.

There were a total of forty rune stones, thirty-five of which were broken and scrapped.

The knife was a special engraving knife for rune engraving, worth ten magic stone grains. It was the cheapest and most useless rune engraving knife, and it could only be said to be barely usable, without any additional bonus effect.

"Twenty blank runes, one successful rune, should be"

"It should be possible."

Ronan was not a fool. The face of the stall owner who sold him blank rune stones during the day, full of teasing and mockery, was still vivid in his mind. He knew without thinking that it would be hopeless to practice engraving with only a few blank rune stones.

But he no longer had extra magic stones to buy the second batch of training materials, and these twenty blank rune stones were his only hope.

If that didn't work, he would have to find another way.

Of course, Ronan was not completely without confidence. His ability to solidify and improve his character panel was the reason why he dared to challenge the rune master. If he could do it as smoothly as when he practiced [Energy Missile],

Ronan shook his head, threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to focus on the present.

After weighing the difficulty of engraving, the value of runes, and other aspects, Ronan finally selected the [Clean] rune among the three zero-level low-level runes as the first object he was going to practice.

The [Clean] rune originated from the zero-level spell [Clean Spell], which can remove dust, absorb water, and remove dirt. It is one of the standard runes for wizard robes.

The robe Ronan was wearing was not a robe at all, but the material was slightly special, more resistant to dirt than ordinary clothes, and it was not enchanted with any rune effects.

The real wizard robe enchanted with [Cleansing] has a built-in cleaning function. Even if he wears it for several months without changing it, it will still be clean and fresh without any dirt.

The first step of rune engraving is to completely remember the shape of the entire rune in your mind.

This is very important.

Runes are the crystallization of wizards' wisdom and hard work. They have undergone a lot of optimization and improvement. Every detail has its unique intention and function.

A slight deviation may not produce the desired effect.

This step is hard work and requires rote memorization. There is no shortcut. Ronan spent a whole night and finally engraved the shape of the [Cleansing] rune, which looks like a curved broom, firmly in his mind.

"Gurgle Gurgle——"

In the early morning, the door of the tree house was open. Ronan stood in the house, and the boiling pot on the stove in front of him was cooking his breakfast today.

After buying flour yesterday, Ronan wanted to make some noodles for himself.

I don’t know which link made the mistake. The rolled noodles fell apart as soon as they were cooked, and after a while they became completely mushy.

But the taste is quite fragrant.

Ronan didn't care anymore, just sprinkled some seasonings in and ate it like this.

"You can proceed to the next step of practice."

Ronan held the small pot directly and squatted on the tree branch at the door of the tree house, slurping the batter while thinking about his next plan.

After you memorize what the runes look like, the next thing to do is copy and draw.

Once the drawing is familiar, practice carving it out with a carving knife.

The last step is to actually try to engrave.

Ronan didn't think he would be a genius in the field of rune engraving. He couldn't skip any of these necessary steps.

Life becomes regular again.

Exercise, meditation, spell practice, and now a rune study, Ronan's daily routine is full.

Although he was exhausted every day, he felt a sense of fulfillment that he had not experienced in a long time.

The last time I felt like this.

It seems that I was still in my last life when I was sprinting for the college entrance examination in my senior year of high school.
