Charles and Calder pushed the door in.

The stone house was originally small, with a bed and a messy set of books, which took up almost all the space. An elderly Goliath sat cross-legged on the bed, his white beard dragging over his knees. What made Charles slightly stunned was that this broad-shouldered old man was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It's a knack concocted by an alchemist, and almost every scholar in Susar has a copy, but when placed among the mountain tribes of the Stormhorn Mountains, it is extremely precious.

It seems that the old Goliath had left the mountains and traveled to the outside world.

Moreover, the aura of old Goliath is not strong, and the rank should be below the exemplary level. But Goliath, like the dwarves, had a lifespan of more than 200 years, and Charles felt that the elder Goliath had accumulated knowledge over the years, not strength.

"Calder."

The elder Goliath put down the book in his hand, squinted slightly at the cloudy eyes of astigmatism, and looked at the half-elf druid for a moment before recognizing him.

"Rodney Sage."

After the half-elf druid bowed, he got straight to the point and said, "I have obtained an eyeball of the Eye of Geush, and I need your help to process it and turn it into a real magic item." ”

"Yes." Goliath the Elder's answer was succinct.

Caud took out a dimensional bag and handed it to Goliath. There seemed to be something else in the dimensional bag, and old Goliath opened it and looked at it, nodding in satisfaction.

"What about you, Pastor of the Holy Arrival?" Old Goliath immediately looked at Charles.

"I also brought an eye of the Eye of Geush......"

Charles also pulled out a dimensional bag.

"Oh?" Old Goliath smiled, "Any job needs to be paid. I'm a master of strange things and a master of rune casting, but I only serve my friends who are mountain people. ”

"Holy Arrival, you are already a friend of our tribe, but I still need to be paid for my services. Anything will do, as long as it satisfies me. ”

Old Goliath's voice was soft and soft, sounding like he was on a calm lake, without the slightest taste of the world.

"Something worth about a thousand gold coins......" The half-elf druid whispered to Charles next to him, "At Rodney Sage, a thousand gold coins is the price of a strange thing. ”

"A thousand gold coins?"

Charles turned his mind around, and put a loot in his inventory that had not yet been heated into the dimensional bag, and handed it to old Goliath on the bed.

"Orc two-headed battle axe?"

Opening the bag, Rodney's white eyebrows trembled, then he closed the mouth of the bag and smiled, "This thing is okay." Come to my house early tomorrow morning and retrieve the strange things. ”

The half-elf druid bowed his head and exited the hut first.

Xia Er pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and still met the eyes of the old sage Gu Jing Wubo, and asked, "You are a rune casting master?" ”

"Yes."

"Holy Presence, if you need it, you can turn around and look at the wall behind you, and tell me if you decide."

Old Goliath had already lowered his head and continued to read, still holding a magnifying glass in his hand, focusing on the ancient book full of dense handwriting.

Turning around when he heard this, Charles found that the wall next to the wooden door of the stone house was carved with some mysterious symbols that he could not understand.

The gaze was fixed on the symbol for a few seconds, and a line of words suddenly appeared on the Shire retina:

Bring your weapons and armor, and I will bless it with the wrath of the gods!]

- Rune Priest. 】

[The Hammerstone Tribe, Goliath Rodney, while learning divine magic, also studied casting runes, which can channel the power of casting and bless weapons and armor. With his help, mortal soldiers and iron can easily cut through granite, and ordinary armor can block the dragon's claws. 】

First, with a line of introductory text, Charles's gaze moved downward, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"[Blessing of Blade Rune] (Weak): +1 damage check for any weapon."

"[Blessing of Blade Rune] (Mild): +2 damage check for any weapon."

[Blessing of Blade Rune] (Medium): +3 damage check for any weapon.

……

There are 5 levels of blessing from [Weak] to [Complete], with the highest level providing a +5 verification bonus to the weapon. I'm afraid that only the rune casting master can be completely blessed.

Old Goliath, who was now sitting in the room, was a master of rune forging.

Regardless of the variant branch of the foundry system, let's just say that the aboriginal deputy master who can make the magic flame light up the fourth finger of the certification badge should appear in Susar's court, be supported by the royal family, or be the head of a union organization in the metropolis, and be admired.

It is incredible that a master, especially a rune casting master, which is rarer than a giant panda, appears in a primitive tribe deep in the mountains.

Charles suppressed the distractions in his mind and continued to look through the text on the retina.

"[Blessing of Unyielding Steel] (Weak): Any armor and shield gain +1 defense bonus."

The level of the defense runes also ranges from [Weak] to [Complete].

In addition to these two main theme runes, Charles also saw a bunch of strange rune blessings.

For example, [Fury of the Gods], which evokes the power of casting runes, and causes weapons to inflict fire damage and scorch the target. Just looking at the text description is heartwarming.

For example, [Shattering Rune], [Heavy Attack Rune], and [Piercing Rune] enhance a certain feature of the weapon, making the weapon's attack power more powerful.

The charr was calm at first, and the rune effect was somewhat similar to that of enchantment. Enchantments can be set with gems and use elemental essences for 'essence' to increase the level of equipment enhancement.

The [Earth Essence] given to him by the female territory is a purple-quality 'essence' material, but it requires the help of an enchanter above the expert level to have a reassuring success rate of enhancement. That's why the [Essence of Earth] will be in the Charr backpack for a while.

"[Nether Blessing] (Weak): A blessed weapon capable of dealing normal damage to imaginary creatures."

"[Nether Blessing] (Mild): A blessed weapon that deals 20% more over-damage to Void Creatures in addition to normal damage."

……

Charles couldn't be calm when he saw the runic information about the Netherworld.

Void creatures, such as ghosts, such as wraiths, are completely immune to physical attacks. And he has a limited number of dispersal times a day, so he goes to Tifanton to find the Temple of Nightshade, and he may not go underground.

Moreover, in the depths of the lost temple, the souls of tragically dead adventurers are often gathered. These spirits may have become bound spirits, or they may have become other goblins.

Therefore, the 'Deep Sea Frost Flails' are branded with the [Nether] rune, which is very likely to be of great use in the underground at that time. Judging from the ultimate goal of this trip, the Nether Rune is undoubtedly more cost-effective than the Blade and Unyielding Steel Rune.

Pursing his lips, Charles turned to old Goliath and said, "Sage Rodney, I want to brand my weapon with Nether Runes......"
