Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Over the next few days, Lorne had Mia help him translate content related to rune identification and drawing.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a runic tome in the possession of the elven chieftain.

It not only records part of the human rune system, but also provides a summary of the complete elven rune system.

There are even a few lost dwarven and dragon mantras.

However, Mia didn't recognize the contents of those pages, and Lorne couldn't use them either.

After careful consideration, Lorne decided to learn how to inscribe the human runes on the upper part of the runes.

Although the Elven rune system is much larger and more extensive, the expanded parts are basically all related to nature.

Runes representing trees, seeds, vines, harvests, and other auxiliary elements.

The human rune system evolved from the elven rune system, abandoning most flashy but impractical runes and focusing on practicality and functionality.

Through simple learning and understanding, Lorne also learned about the relationship between runes and spells.

Runes are the basic units that make up spells.

The lowest level, Rank 0 spells can be created in the mental sea using mental energy to construct basic patterns and then released through guidance.

More advanced spells are not so closely related to runes; they are more related to magic power and concept.

With Lorne's mental strength, he couldn't even cultivate zero-level spells; he could only try to create runes.

Making runes is actually quite simple; it involves using mental energy to draw patterns on a blank rune board.

Runeboards can replace the function of the Spirit Sea, achieving the purpose of retention.

However, the space inside the rune plate is limited, making it impossible to inscribe complex patterns, so it can only record simple spells.

Once recorded, it can be activated at any time using mental power.

The biggest problem now is that Lorne doesn't know the basic rune structure of simple spells.

This book doesn't record it either; it's mainly theoretical knowledge.

He began to recall the runes Lauren had used after entering the fire elemental zone.

One is a fire resistance rune, and the other is a light rune used in the underground cavern...

Lorne always adhered to the principle of doing things first, even if it was wrong.

Actions are always more important than words.

He looked at the little guy in front of the fence.

His eyelids trembled, and he nodded groggily, but he kept muttering:

"The connection principle of runes, the master-slave structure is divided into core runes and auxiliary runes..."

Still translating the contents of the book.

Mia has been working hard these past few days to listen to Lorne's stories.

She came over early in the morning to act as Lorne's little translator and worked in the room until midnight.

During this period, they also need to help prepare three meals a day.

For some parts, Lorne asked for them to be translated several times, because sometimes he couldn't remember them after just one explanation.

Fortunately, Lorne studied diligently and memorized most of the important content in just three days.

All that's left is the practical application.

As Lorne was thinking, he suddenly realized there was no sound.

The little guy had his head down, and drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

I fell asleep while sitting...

Lorne chuckled and gently patted its little face through the fence: "Little elf, it's getting late, you can go home and sleep now."

"Huh?" Mia woke up with a start, straightening her small body.

"Your work is finished. You don't need to translate for me anymore starting tomorrow," Lorne explained.

"I've memorized almost everything I wanted to learn."

"Great!" Mia cheered, raising her little hand.

The tedious and boring translation work is finally over!

"Tell me how the story ends!" Mia exclaimed excitedly, her sleepiness gone.

Lorne was taken aback.

The story I made up on the spot is coming to an end.

He really hadn't figured out the ending.

The story begins with a group of outcasts harboring unrealistic fantasies and attempting to change the entire world.

Will the story end in a tragic defeat, or...?

His original intention was to compose a tragic song about ordinary people pursuing their ideals, but his heart gradually warmed up involuntarily.

He almost blurted out: "In the very end, this lowly person succeeded."

"It created a peaceful kingdom without wizards, without tyranny, without oppression, where life is supreme."

People call Him: the Lord who loves life, the King of the ideal kingdom, the true spirit—

...

The next morning, Lorne woke up early and waited for Mia.

Last night he asked the little elf to ask the clan chief for a few blank rune plates for him today.

What's frustrating right now is that my progress isn't visible through the panel, and I don't know how well I understand runes.

There was no way to improve my proficiency in rune inscription; I could only rely on what I had memorized in my mind over the past few days and my own abilities.

Lorne took a deep breath, still a little nervous...

Not long after, the wooden door was kicked open inwards.

Mia, carrying a bunch of things in her arms, walked toward Lorne with her short legs.

Lorne was afraid it would fall flat on its face again.

"Brother Lorne, Grandpa Chieftain said you have great talent!" Mia slowly put down the things in her arms with some difficulty.

After spending several days with Lorne, the little guy was no longer as afraid of Lorne as before, and became increasingly affectionate towards him.

"Really? I think so too."

After learning the basics of runic literature in just three days, Lorne became a little overconfident.

If he had more time, he might become a rune master... he thought to himself with delight.

Mia picked out a small bag and handed it to Lorne: "These are blank rune plates."

"Grandpa Chieftain said that to create runes, you need more than just blank rune plates." Mia sorted the items on the ground:

"It also requires a carving knife to guide spiritual power, a condensed liquid to fix the patterns, and a special coating to keep the runes from dissipating for a long time."

"The process is divided into three steps: engraving, fixing, and lamination."

How come there are actually so many processes involved? Lorne was a little confused.

According to the book, he thought that making runes only required drawing patterns on a blank rune plate.

Indeed, everything is simple in theory, but you only know how complicated it is when you experience it firsthand.

Learning a skill isn't easy... Lorne sighed and opened the small bag.

The bag was quite heavy, and it contained about eight blank rune plates.

The reason for choosing a rune plate instead of a rune stone is that the rune plate is flat and more suitable for beginners.

The surface of a blank runestone is curved, and the whole piece will be ruined if you are not careful.

The difference between the two lies in their portability, and the rune plate is a little more difficult to activate, but there is no difference in other aspects.

"Brother Lorne," Mia asked Lorne longingly after sorting the items, "What's the name of that true spirit you mentioned?"

"Ahem, let's keep it mysterious." Lorne felt a little guilty. The story was all made up; could he really make up a name too...?

"I told the story you told Grandpa Chieftain," Mia recalled. "But after listening, Grandpa Chieftain fell silent..."

"They won't even tell me where the ideal world is..." Mia poked her finger, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Uh..." Lorne blushed and changed the subject: "Brother Lorne is about to start working!"

He casually picked up a blank rune plate.
