Chapter 173: Expert, the city collapsed
There was no suspense, and within a few minutes Dachun had successfully advanced:

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have read the Book of Runes. Your exceptional wisdom has enabled you to comprehend Level 1 Advanced Runes. You have received rewards: Mana +1, Health +1. Additional rewards: Spirit +1, Wisdom +1, and Earth Rune Mastery.

I was actually awarded a talent skill, Earth Mastery, and the key is that I gained a little more wisdom.

This was the first time that Dachun realized the power of the wisdom attribute. Maybe he could open a library to practice wisdom skills.

So far, Dachun has mastered as many as 100 elementary and intermediate rune combination spells, whose functions are messy and not strong at all, such as adding a small amount of attack, defense, physical strength, faster recovery, faster walking, and even making the wind cooler, the water hotter, the fire bigger, the soil looser, etc.

But I don't have a rune stone! This is quite annoying. Unlike a mage, who can just raise his hand and do it as long as he has mana...

It doesn't matter, as long as you have 7 runes.

Continue to push for advanced level.

Then, I suddenly realized the textbook's style had changed dramatically. Instead of continuing to read the book, I started writing homework, requiring players to skillfully draw a rune symbol with their own hands, using their magic power. There was even a timer requirement: if you were slow, the light and shadow in front of you would disappear.

This is quite uncomfortable. There is no need for players to actually draw spells when training to be a mage... But when you think about the many rune tattoos on the Minotaur, you might as well practice it.

Fortunately, with the help of Dilian, my proficiency is still progressing steadily and rapidly.

After reaching Advanced Rune Level 2, you start to form words. You have to write a string of runes at a time, and the difficulty increases!

Dachun finally understood that it didn't matter if he didn't have a rune stone. He could just paint it himself! He could just paint it all over his body! It was just that the effect wouldn't be as good as a rune stone with abundant energy. This required him to have abundant energy, which was why the minotaurs were covered in tattoos.

Anyway, level 3 continues!
Level 3 requires you to carve runes on the ground and stones.

Dachun's Earth Flame Hand is a stone knife, just draw it directly on the wall of the sewer...

At this point, Dachun suddenly remembered that mages also drew symbols on stones on the ground. It was just that mages liked to play with "geometry," with big circles inside small circles, hexagrams inside pentagrams...

In short, wisdom is invincible and reaches level 4 quickly.

Level 4 requires you to infuse mana into the runes on the wall!
So, Rune Stone can be produced by ourselves, right?
Dachun immediately thought of the six magic stones. These six magic stones and the holy necklace were all in Ailian's possession. She didn't know how to use them and they took up her weight. So what was the difference between these six magic stones and the rune stones?

So it’s the same old question, what is the difference between this rune system and the mage system?
I don’t understand, continue.

The 20 or so mana points Dachun gained from leveling up his skills simply weren't enough to infuse the spell. This was probably the limitation faced by ordinary players trying to reach higher levels. But could ordinary players even get access to this kind of material, which was clearly meant for NPC mages?
We have to let Di Lian come. She has a powerful magic power of 10000. Comparing with her is like peeing compared to Jiang Hong!

Dachun found an intermediate rune spell that is extremely suitable for Earth Lotus operation, "Loosen the Soil", yes, that's the name.

This spell is composed of a mid-level earth rune and a low-level earth rune in a cycle, that is, "medium-low, medium-low, medium-low..." to form a series of undulating effects. So, this spell is used for plowing the land?
Dachun carved four runes of "medium, low, medium, low" on the wall. This is the simplest cycle, and beginners should not make it complicated.

"Earth Lotus, infuse it with mana."

"I know, Father!"

The next moment, a surge of energy flowed through Dachun's hand into the four symbols, and they began to glow—moving! The wall trembled, and the two bricks where the runes were located trembled and moved! Holy crap, this rune spell is powerful! It not only loosens the soil, but also loosens the walls! —System prompt: Congratulations! Your superior wisdom and pure mana have successfully infused the runes with mana... The advanced rune has been upgraded to level 7...

Holy shit, he jumped three levels in a row! That means his proficiency has great potential!

Dachun became excited. Anyway, he could only rely on Dilian's expertise in earth system in actual combat. It didn't matter if he learned anything else. He would just focus on practicing this pure earth spell!

Dachun directly increased the length of the spell, "medium-low medium-low medium-low medium-low..."

Can this wave reach the experts in one go?
Dachun was excited: "Di Lian, try harder this time! Go for a big one! Strive for a breakthrough!"

Dilian was also very excited: "I know, father!"

This time, a torrent of energy flowed down Dachun's arm into the rune. Dachun immediately checked Dilian's mana and found that it had instantly decreased by 1000!

Holy shit! Keep going—this is for the experts!

But then again, a mage wouldn't need 1000 mana to cast a blast, would they? Wouldn't that cause trouble? But that was all that happened before...

The next moment, the rune strings shone brightly, and the surrounding dark sewers were illuminated by the shining lights - the wall moved! The bricks moved!
The bricks are undulating!
Not only that, the entire wall was undulating! Dachun watched as a red light exploded:
——System prompt: Warning! Your elementary construction skills have detected a huge potential for collapse in the current building!

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your exceptional wisdom and pure Earth Mastery have successfully comprehended the "Expert Rune." You receive rewards: Mana +2, Health +2. Additional rewards: Spirit +1, Wisdom +1, and Expert Earth Rune Mastery.

Holy shit! This is going to be a big fuss!
But I have learned from the experts!
But I can’t stop at all!

Something is wrong, Dachun, run quickly!

A thunderous rumble echoed through the sewers, and a gust of air, mixed with smoke and dust, instantly caught up with Dachun. Dachun was in disbelief. "I ran fast and far enough!" Although I realized that something would collapse, I didn't expect such a large area to collapse.

Alarms blared throughout the city!
—Darkmoon City Announcement: Wanted! Azazel-Lewonima's unauthorized opening of a manhole cover constitutes a crime of obstructing urban traffic and endangering public safety. His destruction of the sewers constitutes a crime of urban vandalism...

Dachun was confused!
I just went down a sewer...

What to do now? All we can do is follow the flow of the sewers and leave the city.

As for the Blackhand Tavern, don't count on going there.

The point is, I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Darkmoon City is a vassal city, after all. What will I do if the wanted list reaches the main city? What will the Chamber of Commerce do? Will the CEO protect me? Can I hire a lawyer to sue? Even if I default on my debts, I can sue. I've been forced into this mess by the Black Hand. I feel so wronged... I didn't expect this expert to be so powerful—wait! Does this count as uncovering shoddy construction?
While his thoughts were in a mess, Dachun heard the sound of flowing water in front of him. It should be flowing out of the city.

Dachun's eyes suddenly opened up, and he was washed down into the moat outside the city like a waterfall.

So where to go now? I don't dare go to the city. If I get caught, I might even be jailed for ten days or half a month...

Let’s go to the Tuyan tribe.
