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

Back at his lodgings, Theodore collapsed onto his wooden bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lorne lit a candle, sat down at the wooden table, and took out a blank runeboard, a carving knife, condensate, and a coating from his moonlight bag.

Currently, there is a lack of many items, such as suitable weapons, spellcasting tools, potions, etc., all of which essentially require magic crystals.

He had studied the specific patterns of the 'protection' rune to a great extent, but he was now trying to create the most basic force protection rune.

Laying out all the tools and materials for making runes in front of him, Lorne casually picked up a blank rune plate.

Then he spread out the crafting diagram for the 'Resilience' rune on the table.

Having not crafted runes for a long time, Lorne was a bit rusty, so he decided to warm up with 'Resilience' first.

The main function of "toughness" is to increase the hardness of iron weapons and some tools, which is equivalent to applying a protective layer to the weapon, reducing wear and tear, and increasing durability.

They offer little help to wizards, hence the generally low prices.

The majority of the demand for the 'Resilience' rune comes from knights, who buy it to apply to their longswords to prevent the blade from breaking or other unfortunate situations during battle.

Some apprentices might also find it useful in extending the durability of practical tools.

Lorne's total mental energy at this moment has expanded several times compared to when he was in the elven settlement, allowing him to create more than ten runes in a row.

His magical training greatly enhanced his mental control, making the creation of a 'Resilient' a piece of cake.

The blank rune plate touched the engraving knife, and mental energy slowly drilled into the rune plate at an extremely stable rate, beginning to draw patterns.

Within ten minutes, the large areas of patterns on the runeboard began to converge, and a bright light shone forth.

Finally, it transformed into a faintly glowing character.

"Your Highness, the condensation liquid."

There was no response after a moment.

"Little Jing..." Lorne choked halfway through his sentence, a wave of emptiness washing over him.

Put down the carving knife, pick up the coagulating liquid, and proceed with the fixation step.

Once the fixation is complete, peel off a protective film to finish the final touches.

Everything proceeded in silence.

It will never forgive itself...

"Tap, tap—"

The three 'Resilience' runes were stacked together. After finishing his warm-up, Lorne put all the 'Resilience' runes into his Moonlight Bag and waved his hand to open the panel.

Lines of information were folded up on top.

Texture drawing completed, texture fixing completed, lamination completed.

Craft a 'Resilience' rune.

[Rune Crafting - Resilience is now included]

[The texture drawing speed is fast, but the errors are minor; the texture fixation is very poor, and the level of mastery has been updated.]

Rune Crafting - Resilience (Proficiency 55/400)

The technique of pouring the condensate was not professional enough, resulting in many cracks on the characters, which will affect the actual effect.

Lorne didn't bother with it much, replaced the parchment scroll on the table with one bearing the 'Protection' rune, and began to work on making the 'Protection'.

The main challenge with protective runes is that there are many different variations on the basic pattern.

The types of defenses that runes ultimately provide vary greatly depending on the design.

The most common type is physical protection, followed by elemental erosion protection, spell protection, and so on.

The texture structure of the Power Protection Rune is not complicated; it is simply the result of splitting and overlaying all the textures of the 'Toughness' Rune on top of the original texture structure.

The core pattern of "Resilience" is the advanced general-purpose rune "Resistance", which overlaps with the "Protection" rune.

After memorizing the protective rune pattern again, Lorne took a deep breath, picked up a blank rune plate, and began attempting to create protective runes...

The night grew deeper.

Lorne only stopped what he was doing when moonlight streamed into the room.

Texture drawing completed, texture fixing completed, lamination completed.

Create a 'Protection' rune.

[Rune Crafting - Protection Included]

The concept is relatively basic, the overall difficulty is low, but problems arose frequently during the production process. The progress has been updated.

[Rune Crafting - Protection (Beginner 5/100)]

Lorne raised his hand and looked at the brightly lit power protection runes in his palm, feeling quite content.

I failed to create the protective rune only three times in total, which met my expectations. I originally thought I would have to fail at least five times.

The 'Protection' rune is a bit difficult to work with; the mistakes always happen when disassembling and reassembling the 'Resistance' rune's patterns.

After putting the 'Protection' rune into his moonlight pouch, Lorne tidied up the wooden table a bit and then lay down with difficulty on the edge of the wooden bed.

After constantly dealing with complex patterns, he felt a bit tired after making several runes and prepared to take a break.

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Lorne was instantly wide awake and got out of bed warily.

It was late at night; who would have the time to visit someone else?

I don't have many friends in the apprentice area.

Could it be that Leonard has come knocking on our door? After thinking it over, Lorne realized that this was the only possibility.

He then placed his hand on Theodore's shoulder and gently shook him.

"Wake up, Theodore."

After being shaken a few times, Theodore rubbed his sleepy eyes and raised his head: "What's wrong, Lorne?"

"Prepare for battle."

After Lorne finished speaking, he walked toward the door with a grim expression.

"Click—"

His body tensed, he instantly channeled the power of his two fists into his right fist, ready to respond at any moment.

Theodore reacted quickly, casting a spell the moment Lorne left, aiming it at the doorway, even though his mind was still foggy.

"Dodo."

After another sound of the door opening, Lorne pulled the door open with lightning speed.

【Fist Bone II】- Bonus.

The instant before it erupts—

I was able to see the guy in front of me clearly by the moonlight.

Lorne quickly stopped his punch, waving for Theodore to stop.

Sadiq, pale-faced and with lifeless eyes, stood at the door.

"Excuse me." Sadiq remained unfazed by the fist that was almost touching him, his gaze fixed on the candle burning in the room.

"I see there's still a fire in your room."

Under the moonlight, the dark aura on Sadiq's forehead appeared even more intense.

Besides being completely pale, his face also had several dark spots compared to when we first met.

Lorne's heart was in turmoil, but he remained composed and asked in a normal tone, "May I ask what's the matter?"

He didn't have a good impression of this neighbor and put Sadiq on his watchlist after their first meeting.

There were naturally no polite words exchanged.

"My research is at a crucial stage. Do you have any means to provide negative energy?" Sadiq looked at Lorne and smiled, a smile that carried a hint of eeriness.

Lorne's expression froze instantly.

Did he discover the Death Knight's phylactery?

impossible!

The Moonlight Bag can isolate the energy fluctuations of items, so he cannot sense the Life Box inside.
