Chapter 21: Civil Enchantment Products Plan

"Rune research?" William was indeed quite interested, mainly because of his experiences from his previous life, which made him aware of the importance of rune research.

Runes, composed of imbued with power, are the essential carriers of magic. They mainly have two different application directions.

Firstly, they form the basis for constructing spell models, serving as the key to harnessing and transforming various elemental powers. Except for very few exceptions, most mages begin learning spells by mastering the runes of spell models.

The other well-known aspect of rune research is using engraving to imbue magical power into related objects, such as weapons and armor. This process also has a unique term: 'enchantment.'

The end products are widely known as rune cannons, enchanted weapons, magic stone lamps, and so on.

Josef Dahr, the strongest rune master in Fis City, primarily focuses on rune engraving and item enchantment.

His disciple, Bernie, also focuses on this aspect.

"I remember you were researching civilian enchantments before?" William asked while studying the use of the advanced rune recorder.

"Yes, my mentor suggested I mainly start from this aspect to lay the foundation for future in-depth research," Bernie replied while guiding William on how to use the advanced rune recorder.

"I've just become an intermediate rune master. I don't have enough knowledge and strength to delve into advanced weapon and armor enchantments yet. Recently, civilian rune products have been developing rapidly. New products like magic stone lamps and rune communication devices represent the potential in this area," Bernie explained. "So, how about it? Do you want to research civilian enchantment products with me?"

William nodded and said, "Sure, I wouldn't miss this opportunity."

Although his current priority was to increase his strength and uncover the truth behind the assassination at the Sacrificial Saint Festival, the opportunity provided by the Fifth Rune Workshop was also crucial for his future plans, especially in the field of civilian enchantment products.

Because of the differences in this world, in his previous life, players attempted to replicate modern technological products in the game world, but all of them failed. This world does not support the emergence of technology.

However, due to the accidental discovery of a few players, similar products to some modern technological effects were achieved through the power of runes, such as magic air conditioners and magic cars.

That player immediately organized manpower to produce and manufacture related products on a large scale, planning to expand production. However, various forces quickly targeted him, leading to suppression and sanctions. In the end, he had to choose to join the Church of Wealth and become one of its subordinate forces to survive.

William was very clear about the entire process of this incident, as he was one of the participants at the time. Naturally, he also held the secrets of runes.

This means that William could reproduce a series of products from his previous life now, earning huge profits.

However, William didn't plan to do so. After all, he was just a court viscount, and he didn't think he could hold on to such huge profits alone.

Therefore, Josef Dahr and Bernie, as well as the subsequent Fis Royal Rune Academy and Royal Rune Corps, were crucial to his plans.

The surprise he mentioned to Mora was also related to this matter. After all, the sales channels of the Golden Vine Flower Merchants' Guild were also essential.

There was no hurry; he needed to plan carefully. He didn't have enough energy to invest in civilian enchantment products yet, and his strength was still lacking. freēwēbnovel.com

Silently planning, Bernie, noticing William's sudden distraction, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is this instrument difficult to use?"

"Oh, no. I just remembered something else," William replied casually. "I noticed that the laboratory is still lacking many things. Hasn't the rune workshop officially started yet?"

"That's right," Bernie sighed. "I've been busy with this recently. It'll probably be more than a month before we can officially start our research work. Mentor has many ideas."

Glancing at William, he continued, "So, there's nothing urgent for you to do here today; I just wanted you to get familiar with the place. You can come over when we officially start our research."

"Okay, I've been quite busy lately, too," William nodded. Being able to conduct experiments and arcane research here would be convenient. After all, both the elemental concentration and magical materials here were unmatched by his own research room.

Not shying away from Bernie's offer, William understood that Bernie was, in a sense, the second-in-command of the Fifth Rune Workshop.

Bernie took William around the entire workshop, allowing him to familiarize himself with the surroundings, before seeing him off at the door. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"That's it then. I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll notify you when the workshop is ready," Bernie said to William.

"Understood." William waved his hand. There was no need for too many pleasantries between them. He directly left with Welf, who had been waiting outside the door.

"Young master, where are we going now? Back home?" Welf asked as they boarded the carriage and he closed the door.

William thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Bell Street and practice a bit more."

"Okay." Welf knocked on the carriage door, instructed the coachman named Ben to proceed, then turned back and sat down.

"Young Master William, your mastery of other weapons has been improving rapidly lately. Is there anything else you want to learn?" Welf asked.

William calculated that he had reached intermediate proficiency levels in single-handed swords, two-handed swords, shields, spears, and knives. Additionally, he was about to break through to advanced proficiency in staffs. Considering that he could still learn bows, axes, and hammers from the guards, he was only missing one intermediate proficiency level weapon to achieve the "Mastery of Arms" skill.

Unfortunately, there were no assassins among his guards, so he couldn't learn daggers from them. It seemed that he would have to find another way to learn the final weapon.

Hiring someone to teach him at home was not a good idea as he might still be under surveillance by the hidden hand. He trusted his guards not to gossip about their noble employer, but hiring someone from outside posed certain risks.

Therefore, learning incognito seemed to be the best solution.

With this plan in mind, William said to Welf, "Let's continue practicing for now. I'm interested in learning archery, axes, and hammers. Arrange it accordingly."

"I understand, Young Master William." Welf, having experienced that incident, wasn't surprised at all why William wanted to learn these weapons. He didn't want to delve into it either; he just wanted to fulfill William's tasks well.

After all, after finally breaking through to become a Gold-tier Warrior, he didn't want to meet an untimely end too soon.
