Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 876

Capítulo 876: Within the Crack (2)

“They have great expectation of you, Jonas Nolan,” Ruth said from the side, interrupting Jonas Nolan’s thoughts.

As someone who was older and had experienced the society longer than the brat, Ruth was very clear about why the officials did this. A person like her who didn’t have much demand and a person like Jonas Nolan who didn’t have much experience in society were indeed much easier to control.

What they needed to do was to buy their hearts.

Through various means that would not really harm their core interest.

Just sacrificing some resources percentage would be nothing for them.

After all, Riya and Samuel would only stay in this crack for a short period of time at most and there was no way they would lose a lot.

Instead, they would let Jonas Nolan gained the most.

Isn’t what Jonas Nolan gained also theirs?

And with this move, Jonas Nolan would be grateful to the continent and more wiling to serve them.

Since it was harmless, why not?

Ruth realized what they were doing almost instantly because she had seen similar routines several times in the past. Those people at high above are only giving out the things that they didn’t really need.

But what they got was the entire heart of their followers.

Then again, not everyone could stand at the top because managing these people were not that easy to do.

“I know.” Jonas Nolan smiled. “And I’ll make sure to work hard. There are a lot of familiar herbs here and my task is to gather them all.”

All?

Ruth silently looked at the vast valley and fell into silence.

She had the feeling that she would die out of boredom before Jonas Nolan could finish gathering all the necessary herbs in this valley.

Even if the soldiers were to work together with Jonas Nolan, they couldn’t work as efficiently as him because they were not that familiar with herbs and this will definitely take more time.

Just thinking that she has to be here as bodyguard for a long time…

Ruth felt somewhat irritable.

She didn’t want to do something like that.

“Be prepared for battle.” Riya raised her head and could sense there were several flying rank 7 magic beasts coming over. The corner of her lips curled up slightly when she sensed them and there was a trace of playfulness within her eyes.

She had thought that it was strange there were no flying rank 7 magic beasts when she came here.

After all, they were the most efficient and also the most powerful combat forces among these weakened rank 7 magic beasts.

The weakened rank 7 magic beasts were really weak.

At least, in the returnees’ opinion, they were weak.

Compared to those rank 7 magic beasts they have faced where those rank 7 magic beasts could think clearly and even used various magic beasts, these weakened rank 7 magic beasts couldn’t even respond in time for their attacks.

How could they be worthy opponent?

Only some rank 7 magic beasts were still somewhat troublesome to deal with.

“Do you want to go?” Samuel noticed Riya’s state and asked kindly. Anyway, he and his sword already had a hearty battle in their own crack not long ago and they were basically refreshed.

Buzz!

The sword immediately complained.

It didn’t have enough battle just yet.

Samuel rarely let the sword fought to its heart content because of the sword’s defect after being brought back to the Green Planet. It had only recovered up to 80% thanks to the resources they have found in the crack.

But to recover further, the resources were far from enough.

Samuel was thinking of looking for more resources from other crack.

After coming here, he understood that it was impossible.

Each of these cracks were specifically tailored for these returnees. Aside from the fact that they still have to face a large number of rank 7 magic beasts when they entered the crack, the rest were vastly different from one to another.

How could it be possible for him to obtain the resources that he really need from other returnees’ crack?

The answer is impossible.

So what he had to do is to wait until they entered the other world through the teleportation formation that the message mentioned some time ago.

“Pfft.” Riya naturally noticed the sword’s movement and she always felt that it was funny.

For some reasons, she was glad that her world didn’t like to make trouble like Samuel’s sword.

If she had to fight every few minutes with her world, it would be very tiring.

‘But the world treasure could indeed give birth to consciousness…’

It was just that Riya didn’t know to what degree her world will give consciousness to .

“Come on, you can fight them if you want to,” Samuel said helplessly.

“Alright, alright~.”

Riya still has the Protective Rune Circle around her and when she heard Samuel said this, she simply injected her mana and fly above.

Anyway, battles in the air would not affect the herbs that much, right?

“F…flying?”

The soldiers were stunned when they saw Riya fly in the sky.

“Is it that surprising?” Ruth looked at these soldiers suspiciously. “Almost every rank 7 professions had the capability to fly.”

The main differences is that they usually needed to wait until they reached the late stage of rank 7 because flying usually consumed a lot of mana. Riya was an exception because she was basically using the runes that will also take the mana from the air.

Other people wouldn’t be able to do this.

At least, Ruth herself couldn’t.

“Huh? You can fly, Sister Ruth?” Jonas Nolan asked in surprise.

“Not yet.”

Before she died, Ruth had already learned some methods that would allow her to fly once she had enough mana.

But back then, she didn’t have the chance to practice it until she become proficient.

She only tried a bit and fell down several times because it was really difficult.
