Runesmith : Chapter 163 – Skipping ahead.

*Click*

“It should work now…”

A certain Runesmith that was wearing protective goggles inserted a certain metallic cylinder into another part of machinery. This machine from the outside looked like a six-legged spider complete with a large sparkly eye on where a spider’s cephalothorax would be.

This was a new and improved version of a golem that Roland had been working on for quite some time. It was the size of a drone, not really that big. It was somewhat elongated i...

‘So this is what the top of the Empire looks like?’

Zhang Dong looked up at the giant wall that even with his enhanced vision he couldn’t see the end off. It was truly immense, how long something like this took to build was probably astonishing.

The place that he would be entering supposedly survived the trials of time. The Long Clan that ruled this Azure Dragon Empire was apparently something that stuck with it through many millennia. They were the undisputed champions of t...

“Master, we will be arriving at the location in thirty minutes.”

Zhang Liu delivered the message to his master as he was glancing outside the window. After a moment of silence, Zhang Dong began to speak.

“Liu, if for some reason I don’t make it back, I’ll leave my family in your care.”

Liu was taken aback by his master’s words and he instantly started panicking.

“What do you mean master, of course, you will return and you will lead our sect to victory a...

“That will be all for today, you should go over the research material that I have provided you before contacting me again. Also, don’t forget to catch up with the basics my friend.”

“I will, until next time.”

Roland turned off the communication crystal on which a smug-looking cat was displayed. The exchange between the two had been going on for several months but he still had so much to learn.

After turning off the crystal ball Roland looked to the side. There on h...

‘Well, this is an interesting turn of events… I have to go, don’t I?’

Zhang Dong was sitting in his office that had managed to survive the last attack on the Sect. On his table was an actual parchment that was handwritten with quite the formal invitation. The place that he was invited to was the Azure Emperor citadel, a huge castle in the middle of this country.

His own little sect ground was at the far reaches of this whole empire. It was a place mostly ignored by other s...

Runesmith: Chapter 161 – Back at the estate.

Two horses were pulling a carriage through a nicely paved road made of stone. It was assembled with many smaller flattened stones which caused it to rock around more than it should. The horses' hooves made loud sounds as the carriage moved toward its destination.

The coachman gave out a yawn before looking out into the distance. There he saw a large villa that clearly belonged to a noble family. The trees that were at the side of the road were so thick that they made this road look like...

“Is this information correct?”

“Yes Patriarch, our spies have been on the site of the incident and this information is slowly spreading through the Soaring Dragon Sect’s lands…”

“Is that so… you can leave.”

“As you command, Patriarch!”

Zhang Dong looked at an information jade with the intelligence report of what transpired at the Soaring Dragon Sect. It had been already two weeks since the incident with Wang Long and to this day he did not return....

“H-how could you do this… hundreds of years of planning…”

“Oh hey there old fart, do you like what I did with the place? Give me a moment, I just need a little sip.”

Wang Long was holding a person’s head in his hand while staring deep into their eyes. The person was motionless and by the robe, he was wearing it was clear that he was of high status.

A ray of dark purple light escaped from Wang Long’s eyes and entered the man’s eye sockets. His body started c...

“What was that?”

Roland called out while peeking his head out of the entrance to the attic. He clearly saw them slowly increasing their walking speed before bolting into the forest as if they were being chased by some large monster.

“I’m not sure, but I think they will be back.”

Replied Elodia while also looking out through the window.

“You think so?”

Roland asked while going down the ladder that led up into the attic. He had brought up some wares l...

“Please, take a break, it has already been a week, you look pale…”

“I’m fine but you might be right… if the enemies come I won’t be able to offer them much resistance like this…”

A somewhat shriveled-up Zhang Dong was looking at his lovely wife Zhang Liena. She had come bearing some homemade cooking with spirit energy-packed foods.

“Elders, we will postpone the transcendence till tomorrow, I must rest.”

Zhang Dong looked at a smaller group of elde...

“We have really improved, haven't we?”

“Yes at first I was worried when you proposed that stupid idea but we did manage.”

“What do you mean stupid idea? Those Troglodytes didn’t stand a chance!”

“Yeah because Sansa was smart enough to get some of those explosive magical scrolls.”

A familiar-looking group of four adventurers walked out from the Albrook dungeon. All of them were smiling as they had gone through quite the large battle.

“Elder Wang? Is there a problem?”

“You must apologize for my behavior, Lord Qing Long but I need to tend to some family problems.”

“Is that so?”

Three men were drinking spirit alcohol with each other in a wide-open room. All of them were holding small cups made from white jade in which there was some glowing liquid inside. This was the purest spirit that would be quite deadly if drunk by an ordinary cultivator.

One of them was the Soaring Dragon Sect’s Pa...

“Dong’er are you sure that this is safe…”

“I’m not sure… I guess half and a half?”

“Only half? Maybe we should try it on another sect member that isn’t as old as this old man.”

“Just be quiet and let me concentrate, I need to do it with someone that I’m more familiar with before I continue with the other sect members…”

“P-please be gentle…”

Runesmith: Chapter 158 – Foggy future.

‘Was that really the right decision…’

Elodia was standing outside of the adventurer guild. She wanted to hit her head against the wall after recalling what had happened not so long ago.

After having spent a whole day dealing with pesky adventurers that just didn’t understand how the prices of mana stones could change she was tired. Then a co-worker appeared out of nowhere asking her to stay a couple of hours more as she had something ‘important’ to take care of.

“Fucking shit, If that shithead cares about those bots so much I’m going to tear them limb from limb while he watches!”

A certain young master’s shouts filled one of the peaks at the Soaring Dragon Sect. All of the women that attended to his needs had fled outside while he was demolishing his own living quarters. It was so bad that other sect elders had to get involved, only ones at the level of elder Tong dared to approach.

While the scared beauties waited outside Wang Lo...

“There, will you get off my back now?”

“Aye, dis will do.”

A certain large, bald guild master was frowning while looking at a smaller dwarf. Both of them didn’t seem to like each other but they were in the process of signing a contract. The two dwarves were the same that Roland had seen a few days ago and they were now looking over some signed documents.

“Good, now stop price gouging my stores.”

“Ye don’t need tae worry, dwarves aye follow a contract!...

‘This place did get larger, glad that they continued to feed it more energy.’

Zhang Dong looked into the wide expanse that was the pocket dimension of the dimensional regalia. This place actually had a nice cool breeze running through it after they went through applying some elemental treasures.

This allowed them to fashion several biomes with different temperatures which helped certain herbs to grow. With the help of this dimension, they were able to grow rare herbs without t...

“According to the evacuation order, we should arrive at a safe location in a few days, then the elders will notify us if we are free to leave…”

“I’m truly sorry Wayland, if I knew it was you, … please forgive me and these idiots!”

“Hey, who are you calling an idiot!”

“Put your head down you dimwit, do you want to die?”

Roland was now looking at the three people that attacked him. All three of the thieves turned up to be Lobelia and her friends. It seemed that the half-elven girl was actually part of the thieves guild.

“Also please don’t tell this to big sis… or that big idiot… they will...

“How much of the sect has been affected?”

“Not that much Patriarch, most of the destruction was spread through the city but the sect buildings have remained mostly intact.”

“Good.”

Zhang Dong nodded while walking together with a man that he hadn’t seen in a while. It was Zhang Kuo that was one of his trusted retainers. His cultivation had advanced into the middle core formation stage and his face didn’t change much even though he had aged by a whole five year...

Runesmith: Chapter 155 – Black market hospitality.

Roland found himself face to face with a member of the Ratfolk race. This race of sentient rat people was known for living underground and shying away from the sun. There weren’t that many of them around but whenever the black market was involved they were there.

They were a race of mostly stealthy merchants. Most of their people were poised at hiding which allowed them to sneak through the night unnoticed. While their bodies didn’t allow them to be the best warriors they were good ...

There they were, Zhang Dong’s children. While he had been thrown into another world they had been a lot smaller. The older child, Zhang Xiu was about a year and a half when he left. She had grown quite a bit and he was having a hard time recognizing her.

Then there was Zhang Jun, the younger of the two. When Zhang Dong left to fight the monster the boy wasn’t even a month old, he was a newborn child. Now he was five years old and didn’t look any close to what he remembered. He was...

“Big sister! You are alright, I thought you’d be taken away by that monster.”

Zhang Dong smiled a bit as he saw a smaller girl with pink hair pounce on his wife.

“Calm down Nuana, I’m fine.”

The two started hugging for a moment while the younger one cried. Luckily he managed to get here in time, if not both of them would have been on the flying ship along with that perverted Wang Long.

Runesmith: Chapter 154 – The black market.

As Roland stepped in through the wooden doors of the brothel he was already happy that he had brought his new mouthguard along. People couldn’t really see it under the fabric but it was made from metal and had several runes inscribed on it.

The strong smell of cheap perfume, sweat, and something unfamiliar made him quickly inject a small amount of mana into this mask. It was a filtering rune that quickly dispatched the awful smell and filled his lungs up with fresh air.

Zhang Dong and the others flinched the moment they saw the Soaring Dragon Sect’s young master plunge a demonic-looking dagger through his retainer’s chest. The old man had been tasked with the young man’s protection for quite some time, but he never thought that he would be capable of doing such a thing.

‘They sure picked an odd spot for this…’

Roland found himself looking down an old well. He had put on his runic glasses so he could see all the way down and it was quite a large drop. After leaning back he looked to the side and could spot people moving back and forth by the road.

This well that he was standing at had once been used by the old Albrook farmers. It had long dried up and was left close to the road that led to the Albrook Dungeon. Roland had the letter that the ...

‘“How is gramps in the fortress?’

Zhang Dong was a bit confused as he had not had much time to explain how the large creation worked. The GUI that it had was quite easy to read through as he had made it to mirror game graphical interfaces that he remembered from the old days.

Liena quickly explained how she managed to call the old man over. When he approached the same spot that she did before an icon started glowing. She just needed to push it to let Zhang Jin drop into the ...

A loud sound of a door getting slammed could be heard. This loud thud was followed by the rumbling of footsteps that were coming down the stairs.

“Mr. Wayland is everything okay?”

Elodia that was about to head over to the guild master’s office was the first to notice to whom these loud footsteps belonged to. She could see a rather mad-looking young man rushing down the stairs.

Zhang Dong was floating up in the sky, a shroud of purple lightning energy was still swirling around him. This residual energy was getting quickly absorbed by him and to others, it looked as if a tiny circle inside of his chest was sucking it all in.

Wang Long with his soul beast in front was perplexed to see his enemy somehow using his own attack to power himself. This didn’t mean that he was in a state of panic, to him this only meant that there would be more points to be gained. View Post
