As Kunsa was cut down by Winst, the battle was over. The remaining members of the Black Demon Mercenary Group put down their weapons and stopped fighting. Ai Bo had sharp eyes and took off the spatial ring on Kunsa's hand. Then, everyone left the city in a hurry, afraid that they would be surrounded by the city lord's army.
The group, who had already exhausted themselves and were covered in injuries, could not hold on any longer after running out of the city. They hurriedly found a forest to rest. Brad, Albert, and Babasa had consumed the most energy, so they first meditated while the others were responsible for keeping watch.
About two hours later, everyone had recovered. During this period, no army came out of Black Rock City to pursue them, which puzzled them.
"Damn it! I almost lost today. I didn't expect that bastard to attack us in public.”At that time, Brad's spiritual power was almost overdrawn again. Now that he had recovered, he could not help but curse.
"Fortunately, they're just a motley crew with few experts.”Winst was also furious, but he was also quite lucky. If the enemy had another Sky Warrior, they would all die here.
"Alright, alright! Anyway, he had already killed their Guild Leader, so what was there to be angry about? It wasn't worth it.”Avril's anger dissipated immediately after the chief villain died.
"Avril is right. It's not worth getting angry over those trash. Abel, you're fast. Let's see what's in his ring.”Thinking of Abel's actions, Winst didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He actually thought of taking money while escaping.
"Here! The ring is here. You can see for yourself. I don't know how to use it.”Abel threw the ring to Brad. He was the only one with an interspatial ring.
"Abel, the interspatial ring is bound. As long as the owner is alive, no one else can see it. If the master died, only the new master could see it.”
"Oh? I see. Leader, you can use the ring."”No matter how precious the ring was, Aber didn't care about it, so he generously gave it to Winst. After all, even Brad had it, and as the leader, he couldn't be too demeaning.
"Abel, thank you for your gift.”Winst smiled at Aber. Actually, he didn't really need the ring, but he couldn't ignore Aber's intentions.
"Guild Leader, quickly take a look at what's inside!”After seeing Winst drip his blood on the interspatial ring and become its new owner, everyone could not wait to see how much loot they had obtained this time.
Winst opened his mouth wide after checking the contents of his Space Ring.
Swoosh! Winst, who had recovered, did not say anything. He just poured out all the things in the ring. Everyone's expression immediately became dull. There was not much, but everything was shocking.
It was a mana crystal card with an unknown amount, but even Babasa wouldn't believe that there was no money in it. There were all kinds of precious materials, high grade magic crystals, high grade magic nuclei of various elements, and a small box.
"This Kunsa is really a talent. He actually plundered so many good things.”Winst could not help but admire Kunsa in this aspect.
"If these materials were to be sold, even alchemists would break their heads.”Brad could imagine the scene of them being drowned by alchemists.
"I've always wanted a set of jewelry made from magicite crystals, hehe!”Ariel's eyes lit up as she looked at the magic crystals. However, only she would think of using expensive magic crystals to make jewelry.
"These magic nuclei can also be used to make top-grade magic staffs.”Will's expression also fluctuated slightly.
"What is this small box?”Abel opened the box curiously. There was a small black ball, a needle, and a picture with strange patterns on it.
"Eh? What is this?" Seeing the thing in Abel's hand, Brad found it familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.
"Ah! That... That is…" Catherine stared at the unknown object for a long time before she finally remembered its origin.
"Sister Tomato, do you know what this is?”
"Yes... I've seen it in books…" Catherine's answer made everyone depressed. What is this?
"Then what exactly is this?" Helpless, Abel could only ask again.
"Curse pattern…" Hearing Catherine's words, Brad's expression changed drastically. He also remembered what this was.
"Brad, you know about this thing too?”Winst wisely stopped asking Catherine. By the time she explained, everyone was already anxious to death.
"I've only read about it in books.”Brad slowly sorted out his thoughts and explained to everyone. "Runes are a secret technique that Orc shamans applied to Orc warriors a hundred years ago. Because Orcs are born unable to use magic and have very poor resistance to magic, they invented the runes. The purpose of the runes is to increase magic resistance. It seemed very mysterious, but the reason was actually very simple. It was to isolate the body from the magical elements. His body's resistance to magic was greatly enhanced after the insulation. Although it was not to the extent of magic immunity, the damage caused was indeed much less.”
"Isn't that Beastman invincible?”Hearing Brad's explanation, Abel was dumbstruck. If the Beastmen, who were already strong in battle energy, were not afraid of magic, would they still let people live?
"There are even more powerful ones. Not only can the runes isolate magical elements, but they can also speed up the cultivation of battle energy.”
"" Ai Bo opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. This was too abnormal!!
"However, this rune also has an obvious flaw. It increases appetite and reduces sexual desire.”When Brad talked about lust, his face was filled with unspeakable bitterness.
"What kind of weakness is this?" Abel was puzzled. Compared to those benefits, this was nothing.
"Abel, you really don't understand the Orc Empire. The Orc Empire is extremely lacking in resources, and because they don't have enough to eat, they always want to occupy our human land. Although the Orcs are powerful, their reproductive ability is not high. Otherwise, the Haas Continent would have been filled with Orcs by now. Therefore, these two shortcomings were definitely a disaster for the orcs.”
"That's still worth it. If they risk losing half of their population to create a large number of powerful warriors, we won't be able to stop them.”
"The drawing of the runes isn't 100% successful. There is a high mortality rate. The Beastmen's population is not large to begin with, so they can't mass produce such super warriors.”
"Then why did they invent this rune?”
"In the beginning, the Beastmen didn't know that the runes had these two fatal flaws, so they created a group of powerful warriors. However, when these warriors died, they no longer had the strength to fight against us humans, and the runes were slowly lost.”
"It's useless after all this time. I thought it was some kind of treasure.”When Abel heard that the runes were useless, he was extremely dejected.
"You can't say that. In fact, runes can also have an effect on us humans.”
"We can use it too? Then wouldn't our warriors be invincible if they carved runes on them? They didn't use magic anyway, and there were many humans.”
"The reason why some Beastmen fail to draw the runes is because their bodies aren't strong enough. If they want to successfully draw the runes, they have a strong physical foundation and a firm willpower. The pain of drawing the runes isn't something that ordinary people can endure. Therefore, our human bodies aren't as strong as the Beastmen's, so there are even fewer people who can successfully complete the runes.”
"You've said so much. Isn't he still trash?”Ai Bo said through gritted teeth.
"Abel, I said it was useful because of you.”Brad looked at Abel with shining eyes.
"What do you mean? Don't even think about using me as a test subject. Besides, I'm a mage.”Abel did not want to be a lab rat.
"The runes don't mean that they can't release magic, but they isolate magic elements. For example, if your meditation speed was several times faster than others, even if you carved runes, it would only slow down your meditation speed. At the very least, it would not be any worse than those geniuses. However, your cultivation speed would increase, and your body's magic resistance would also greatly increase. It would definitely be useful for your magic and martial arts dual cultivation.”
"Now that you mention it, it seems to be pretty good.”As long as he became stronger, Abel would immediately become like Ariel who had seen food, without any ability to resist.
"Ai Bo, think about it. No matter how fast you meditate, you still need to train your warrior power before you can advance. If you can slow down your meditation speed and increase your warrior power speed, balancing the two training speeds, it will be a bright path for you to reach the peak.”
"Good! I've decided to inscribe the runes!" Abel, whose head was bleeding, said as he took off his clothes. Avril was so angry that she hit him on the head.
"Ai Bo, not now. Your body can't meet the requirements at all. If you carve the runes now, you'll definitely die.”Winst agreed with Brad's idea, but he didn't want to play with Abel's life.
"Ah? No way, I finally made up my mind.”Seeing that the path of light had left him, Abel felt extremely disappointed.
"Don't forget, physical fitness is only one of the factors. The other is willpower.”Winst reminded Abel in time, lest he couldn't take the pain.
"Ai Bo, how about this? You first increase the strength of your body, then I'll carve the runes on you. I also need to study this thing.”His understanding of runes came from books, so Brad didn't dare to experiment on Abel casually. Besides, the runes had been lost, and the only rune dye left was that small ball.
"Alright, but how do I increase my physical strength? And that willpower, I don't know if my willpower is strong or not?”Although he was anxious, Abel would not risk his life.
"Albert, have you thought it through? That was a secret technique that even the Beastmen could not guarantee a 100% success rate.”Winst felt conflicted. He wanted to improve Abel's strength, but he was also worried that something would happen to him.
"Guild Leader, if you were in my position, would you give up such an opportunity? Brother Brad is right. If I don't carve the runes, my battle energy will always drag down my mental power.”Abel knew the danger and pain, but he still answered firmly. As long as he could become stronger, he was not afraid of anything.
"Sigh... Since you insist, I'll do as you say. Everyone, in the days to come, let's focus on training Abel and strive for him to complete the inscription of the runes as soon as possible.”No one objected to Winst's suggestion. They were tired after completing missions for half a year. Only an idiot would not agree to make fun of Abel.
"Alright then, since we're all in agreement, let's go to Port Padre.”Winst put the spoils of war into his interspatial ring and everyone walked towards Port Padi.
Along the way, they passed by a few cities without stopping. They only went in to replenish their supplies before setting off again. Abel, who was not sure about the time of the special training, wrote a letter to the Clark Merchant Association, telling Alice that he had to train and might not be able to see her in time. He would go to the capital as soon as the training was over.
Finally, after more than ten days of trekking, eating and sleeping in the wind, they arrived at the largest port city on the coastline of the Kingdom of Valencia, Port Padre.
"Is this the sea? It's so beautiful!" Abel had followed the Stars Mercenary Group for more than half a year, but he had never been to the seaside. When he saw the blue sea, he was extremely shocked.
"Abel, do you see those big ships? In the vast and boundless sea, it was simply heaven to take a sailboat out to sea.”Seeing the yearning look on Brad's face, Abel deeply remembered this paradise in his heart. However, when he went out to sea for the first time and vomited on the boat, his resentment towards Brad reached an unprecedented height.
"Alright, we don't have time to discuss this now. Get ready, we're going to start the special training.”When Winst spoke, he looked at Aber with such a lewd and perverted expression. Aber knew that this middle-aged man was possessed by the devil again!
