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

"Take this and play with it for a while." Lorne handed the second rune plate to Mia, adding a word of advice:

"Please don't bother your brother for a while, okay?"

"Okay." Mia behaved very obediently, took the second rune plate and began to inscribe it.

Like coaxing a child... Lorne smiled and took out another blank rune plate.

I felt a wave of dizziness.

Drawing runes consumes a lot of mental energy, and without a way to restore mental energy, Lorne can only draw a maximum of two runes in a row.

The first rune didn't waste much mental energy.

I still have most of my mental energy left, which is just enough for one more drawing.

The most agonizing part of drawing the patterns is actually the mental one, and that's also the most difficult part.

You must remain calm at all times, have a clear mind when facing increasingly complex patterns, and avoid making mistakes.

The depletion of mental energy is secondary.

When drawing for a long time, one's thoughts can easily become muddled, and the patterns can easily become confused.

Simply put, it depends a lot on your condition and is not suitable for prolonged periods of time.

Lorne was prepared to try one more time before resting, as he didn't have enough mental energy left for two more chances.

The third rune drawing begins.

The pen and board touched, and he slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the rune board, beginning to draw patterns, which then overlapped.

All in one go.

Because of the experience from last time, Lorne made good progress this time.

My tense body gradually relaxed, and I got more and more into the zone.

In the blink of an eye, large patterns appeared on the runeboard.

The patterns became increasingly dense, evolving into the shape of a spider web.

The last tenth...

Ten lines...

A...

As Lorne finished his final stroke, the runeboard shone brightly, and the dense, spiderweb-like patterns began to converge.

In the end, it transformed into a single character, faintly glowing.

The characters on the 'Bright' that Lauren took out from the underground cavern are exactly the same!

I guessed right!

Lorne was very excited, knowing that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of possible combinations of the 'Bright' rune.

He determined the core patterns, combination methods, and auxiliary patterns through analysis.

The reason for choosing the basic universal rune "Gathering" as an auxiliary pattern is that when Lauren activated the bright "rune" in the underground cavern, the light appeared as a cluster of light.

It wasn't a fleeting flash of light, but rather a cluster of light, making it unlikely that any "excitation" or "triggering" would occur.

Lorne lay down exhausted, his mental energy completely depleted, and he desperately needed rest.

"Hmm?", "Strange...", "Oops!"...

Listening to the little guy's babbling to himself and the "swish" sound of the carving knife cutting across the runeboard, Lorne took a nap with a smile.

After resting for only a few minutes, a familiar voice rang in my ears: "Brother Lorne, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Sigh." Lorne sighed, rubbing his dizzy head as he stood up. "What's wrong, Your Excellency?"

The dim runeboard waved in front of Lorne: "The board isn't lighting up again!"

I thought something had happened again... Lorne explained with a smile, "This is normal."

After drawing patterns on the runeboard with mental energy, you need to follow certain steps, otherwise the mental energy patterns on it will slowly dissipate on their own.

"This rune plate hasn't been solidified yet..." Lorne's mind suddenly went blank for a moment.

He arrogantly lunged at the third rune plate that had just been drawn.

late.

The characters on it have faded into dense lines and are almost transparent.

Damn it! Another rune plate ruined... Lorne really wanted to swear.

The 'Bright' rune, which I had put a lot of effort into making, was ruined because I forgot to follow the proper steps.

How could I not break down?

Lorne lay upside down on the haystack, looking somewhat desperate.

"Brother Lorne, what's wrong?" Mia didn't understand the reason.

"It's okay," Lorne reassured himself.

It's just another round.

I have plenty of time!

Prisoners have no shortage of time, but their depleted mental energy needs time to recover.

Mia's small figure appeared in front of the fence: "Brother Lorne, are you feeling unwell?"

Children's thoughts are easy to guess; their worries are written all over their faces.

"It's alright, it's alright." Lorne waved his hand and said, "I just lack mental energy, I'll be fine after a rest."

Mia stood in front of the fence for a while, then, out of nowhere, came up with another mischievous idea and excitedly ran out of the room.

Lorne didn't take it seriously.

The destruction of the runes he had just drawn dealt him a heavy blow, and coupled with the depletion of his mental energy, he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep...

"Brother Lorne, Brother Lorne..." Lorne was woken up by Mia.

He opened his eyes with some difficulty; the sunlight outside was a bit too bright.

Judging from the time, it should be around noon or afternoon.

Mia was holding a glass bottle, her face was covered in soot, and her little dress was stained with dirt.

Under the oncoming light, Lorne didn't recognize him at first glance.

"Did you go to Africa to mine coal?" Lorne suppressed a laugh. "My little elf, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Lorne," Mia held out the glass bottle to Lorne, "this is a potion to restore mental strength."

What? Lorne was stunned.

He couldn't help but wonder, a mental energy restoration potion? Where did it come from...?

In the end, he didn't ask any questions, but simply accepted it silently: "Thank you, Your Highness the Little Elf."

Unconsciously, Lorne's way of addressing him changed.

Sodrion might have this kind of potion. Although I don't know how Mia got it, judging from its appearance, it certainly wasn't easy.

He was truly grateful to the little guy in front of him; the two had only known each other for less than a week.

Lorne opened the bottle cap, poured half of it into his mouth, and didn't suspect a thing.

A cool sensation bursts forth from my mouth.

It tastes a bit like mint... Lorne pursed his lips; it tastes good.

His depleted mental energy is gradually recovering, unlike before when he was listless and lacked motivation.

Before long, Lorne felt full of energy and could continue drawing runes.

He carefully placed the remaining half bottle away and took out a blank rune plate from the small bag.

This time, we're going to create a complete 'Bright' rune!

Seeing this, Mia nodded her little head in satisfaction and ran out the door again...

A dozen minutes later, a familiar character appeared on the runeboard—

The drawing of "Bright" is complete!

Mia watched from the side.

It went out to wash its face, changed into a brown dress, and brought back a plate of fried potatoes.

This means he considers me a friend... Lorne is terrified that one day Leodan will suddenly burst in and yell that he'll kill me.

He'll claim he kidnapped its daughter later...

"Your Highness, could you please get me the condensation liquid?" Lorne's focus was on the runeboard.

"Okay." Mia placed the small bottle into the fence.

Lorne put down the carving knife and took it from him.

After completing the drawing step, it must be fixed as soon as possible.

Fixing is a crucial step; a coagulating fluid is used to fix the runes in place, preventing the characters from reverting to their original patterned appearance.
