I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Chapter 14: This isn't how you inscribe runes!

Roy and Will were shocked not only because the longsword was only a half-finished product.

What shocked them even more was the fact that the weapons were engraved with runes.

Won't the carvings on the weapons wear off during combat?

Especially when weapons come into contact with those magical elements, it's hard to say they won't get worn down, right?

However, Roy and Will were not good at runes, so they could only accept it.

Murphy looked at the two people with strange expressions, not understanding why they suddenly had such expressions.

However, adhering to its professional ethics, it still very diligently offered a reminder.

"Resilience, is it unpredictable?"

Roy managed to control his expression before asking the question.

How is toughness measured?

Murphy looked Roy up and down, puzzled, and took the sword from Will's hand.

Seeing this, Will had no choice but to reluctantly hand the sword to Murphy.

Then, he saw Murphy take the sword and smash it to the ground the instant he did so!

"WC! Stop!"

His expression changed drastically, and he reached out to stop him.

But he was too late. By the time he raised his hand, the longsword had already slammed heavily onto the ground.

With a clang, the longsword bounced high off the ground with great elasticity!

Then it falls again, then bounces up again, repeating this three or four times.

With each bounce, Will's body trembled, and only when the longsword stopped bouncing did he turn his gaze to it.

It remained completely unharmed.

Will finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Murphy nodded in satisfaction and gave the two of them a thumbs up.

Luo Yi's gaze followed the longsword's bounce back and forth, finally landing on Murphy's thumb.

Then he looked at the sword on the ground, and then at Murphy.

My mind went blank for a long time.

He eventually gave up thinking about it, patted Will on the shoulder, and walked over to where the other three were.

He mumbled something to the priest and mage who were resting.

He then sat down on the ground, while the female priest helped the female mage to her feet, and they staggered over to Murphy.

"Wait, what's going on with you guys?"

Will looked at the two people who had been swapped over, puzzled and not understanding what had happened.

"Oh, oh, it was Roy who sent Miss Ella to come and take a look."

The female priest spoke on behalf of the female mage, Ella.

"What's that guy up to? Oh well..."

Will sighed, then introduced himself to Murphy.

"This is Ella, a mage who is good at runes. This is Fina, our team's priest."

"Murphy, the craftsman."

Murphy's introduction remains as concise as ever.

"Mr. Murphy, thank you just now."

Pastor Fina expressed her sincere gratitude to Murphy.

She was busy treating other people's injuries and temporarily forgot to thank Murphy, but now she finally has the chance.

Ella, panting, gave a weak smile and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Thank you for saving me... but I really don't have any reward to give you right now. I'll have to wait for another opportunity."

She had a cut on her lower abdomen; it wasn't fatal, but it did make breathing and speaking difficult.

Murphy glanced at Ella's weak appearance, then at the ranger with the injured leg.

A flash of inspiration struck its brain, and its superior intelligence told it that supply only exists where there is demand.

These two are injured and will be leaving soon, so wouldn't it be a good idea to get them wheelchairs?

In the process of going back and forth, wouldn't that result in two more orders?

Moreover, wheelchairs are simple to make; you can make four or five in 10 minutes.

"Then, buy something from me."

Murphy spoke to Ella.

"Huh?"

Ella was taken aback, unable to follow Murphy's train of thought for a moment, but after a puzzled exclamation, she nodded reluctantly.

"If I can afford the price."

Murphy nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more. He simply picked up the longsword from the ground, placed it on the workbench, and prepared to begin carving.

Seeing this, Will seemed to realize why Roy had sent Ella over, so he asked:

"So, Roy didn't send you here just to show you Mr. Murphy's sculptures, did he?"

"Um……"

Ella nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Murphy at the workbench.

She was also a little confused as to why Roy would ask her to look at a stone golem with runes engraved on it.

Putting aside the fact that the stone golem is carving runes is already quite strange.

Not to mention the matter of carving runes on the longsword.

She has a memory of this technology, but there was a gap in her understanding of it several hundred years ago.

Modern weapons generally do not have runes engraved directly on the blade.

Instead, the runes are engraved on gemstones and then inlaid on the weapon.

So when Roy told her that the stone figure was to be carved on the weapon, she was really curious about how it was done.

What kind of rune effect do you want?

Murphy tapped the table, and the longsword floated in mid-air. He then turned to look at Will.

"How about you give me a few options?"

Will looked embarrassed.

He's barely even seen a few rune weapons. If you ask him to choose a rune effect, what would he choose?

"Swift, powerful, sharp, durable, corrosion-resistant, etc..."

Murphy tilted his head back, running through the runes in his mind.

"Then let it be sharp and swift."

Will subconsciously assumed that Murphy would choose the same metal as last time when carving runes.

The fewer choices you make, the better the individual results will be, so he decisively chose these two.

But Murphy looked at him with a strange expression, and then slowly uttered the remaining lines.

"Yes, they are all available."

"Oh?"

Will instinctively cried out; he was no longer surprised, but simply shocked.

"You have them all?"

However, Ella is not an outsider like Will.

She was well aware that there were certain conflicts between different runes, and that she was able to make so many runes compatible together.

Is this really possible?

"So you're asking me what runes I want?"

Will asked with a troubled expression.

"Those lower-level options let you choose special effects."

After Murphy finished speaking, he started... something and thought for a while.

"Glowing brightly, spitting fire, or crackling with electricity."

For other beings, runes might be a problem that requires calculation, or can only be overcome by a combination of luck and experience.

However, for Murphy, it was more like coloring.

He would paint whatever others wanted to paint.

However, the stone man's imagination was not enough to support so many images appearing in his mind.

So he could only make up a few things based on those fragments of memory.

"So it'll sizzle and crackle with electricity?"

Will frowned in confusion, unable to understand what Murphy was trying to say for a long time, so he could only randomly pick one that he liked.

"it is good."

Murphy nodded in agreement, took the newly acquired microscope, and then pulled a box of blue liquid from under the worktable.

This is the rune liquid used for engraving.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a hammer.

The hammer deformed rapidly in his hand.

It had turned into something resembling a long needle, with a long tube at the end connected to the box of engraving liquid.

Finally, he tapped the worktable again, and a ring of blue light appeared around the edge of the worktable, which was used to prevent dust and wind.

And so the engraving began with this simple process.

"Wait, is it starting already?"

Ella's mind went blank as she watched Murphy begin so simply.

Is this correct?

You shouldn't wash or bathe before engraving runes. Make sure you're in good condition before setting up the necessary engraving tools.

Then identify seven or eight devices used to stabilize runes, confirm rune status, and check rune stability.

Then he took out the rune dictionary and, referring to it, engraved each character one by one.

Why did it start right away?

This is engraving runes, not drawing!

She knew Murphy was unconventional, but this was just too unconventional!

Even if those things weren't there, she could understand, since the conditions weren't right.

But without even a dictionary, how can it recognize the runes?

Murphy, of course, paid no heed to Ella's shock.

He wrote as if he were writing, and quickly began to engrave on the longsword.

"Help...help me over a bit!"

Ella gently nudged Fina beside her, overwhelmed with excitement!

She really wanted to see for herself whether Murphy was lying!

It's not that she doesn't trust Murphy.

She couldn't believe that all those years of studying runes had been for nothing.

Engraving is a meticulous task.

Every bit of extra pressure, every degree of depth, will affect the engraving effect!

She really can't understand!

However, before Fina could help her take a few steps, a blue light suddenly flashed on the longsword.

The first set of runes has been engraved.

Fina and Ella stopped in their tracks, their minds going blank.

Will, standing to the side, was already shocked by what he had just experienced, and this time the runes were outside his comprehension.

So he could even look at the two people who were exactly like himself just moments before with a touch of schadenfreude.

His lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back.
