Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Cold Talisman
To be honest, the base should also have water sources.

But the base was still under construction and last week was the first time the government sent water for them. After a week, it was naturally another time for them to come and deliver the water once more.

“You want to get the water?” Riya asked strangely. With Amelia’s current situation, her family was clearly not lacking water at all.

“No, just take a look.” Amelia shook her head. “Brother said that it’s better to leave it to those who need it.”

Their base had a water source, which could provide water to sell for contribution points. For the people in the base, even if they have enough contribution points, they would not reject the free water.

So when the water truck came, there would be a lot of people lining up to get water.

After all, the amount of water everyone could obtain was limited.

“Let’s not go there…” RIya thought about it and felt that there would be a lot of people lining up to get the water. It would be very crowded and not exactly fun to watch.

“…Fine.”

Amelia just thought that it would be fun.

But since Riya didn’t want to, then she would not go there.

After this, Amelia introduced some other places in the base to Riya and also the new buildings that had been built for the refugees who came. Those who couldn’t afford to enter the base would stay in the shared place and had to compete with others to get job to obtain the contribution points.

While it might not be the best system, it could help many people who were unlucky and couldn’t get enough resources before coming to the base.

The base was still on the early stage and there were some things not arranged yet.

Riya was quite lucky to be able to come early to the base and received preferential treatment.

“Let’s go back now.” Amelia sighed. “We have to go early tomorrow, so it’s better to rest early today.”

Thinking about the fact that she had to go out to fetch the resources tomorrow, Amelia felt like dying. In this hot temperature, she really didn’t want to go out.

Riya looked at Amelia’s lifeless appearance and for some reasons, she wanted to laugh. After they reached Amelia’s house, she took out a paper and then used the magic beast’s blood to write on it.

The magic beasts’ blood was more precious than ordinary blood or even water, but Riya had plenty of them in her world.

Taking out a bit for Amelia was nothing.

Swish!

The cold talisman was finished and Riya handed it over to Amelia. “This will help you to pass for the next few days.”

Because of the materials used to make it, this talisman would last much longer than usual. It was a bit of a waste to use magic beast’s blood for it, but Riya only use the first rank magic beasts’ blood, so it was fine.

Any higher, ordinary paper wouldn’t be able to hold it.

‘It seems that I need to search for replacement materials first.’

When Riya first obtained those magic beasts’ blood, she didn’t think too much. After all, she was using those jades to make various formations and so on. But now that she was using paper again, Riya realized that this paper was not strong enough.

Rank 1 magic beast blood should be the limit.

In that world, Riya could just buy some talisman paper, which could hold on until rank 5 magic beasts’ blood before she had to buy the advance talisman paper.

In this world?

Riya was not entirely sure.

‘I know how to make talisman paper, but the main materials doesn’t exist.’

Thinking about this, Riya wanted to cry.

The name of the plants were different in that world and Riya didn’t have the confidence that she could recognize these plants if their names were changed. After all, she didn’t have intensive study in planting and so on.

The main reason why she knew was because the price to make her own talisman paper was cheaper than buying it in the store.

Moreover, she was staying in a place for a long period of time, which allowed her to grow those plants.

“Yess!” Amelia laughed out loud when she saw the talisman paper that Riya handed to her. She took it unceremoniously and held it close to her. The cool wind made her feel extremely comfortable. “I’m alive!”

Riya was brought back from her thoughts and watched as Amelia laid on the sofa lazily while holding the talisman.

“Riya, don’t forget to make a few more for tomorrow!”

Riya: “…”

It seemed that she had guessed correctly.

This Amelia was treating her as a little tool to make cold talisman for their journey.

With that in mind, Riya crossed her arms and looked at Amelia. “It seems that you want to bring me along because you want me to make more talisman for you.”

“Of course~. With these talisman paper, my life is now comfortable.” Amelia relaxed on the sofa and then froze when she felt the temperature dropped even further.

She turned her head around carefully and saw Riya looking in her direction with a smile that was not really a smile.

It was really cold.

“Ah ha ha… I’m just joking,” Amelia said slowly in fear, afraid that Riya would be able to notice her strangeness.

“Really? I thought that you really only want me to tag along because of the cold talisman.” Riya narrowed her eyes.

“Yes, yes… Ahh, stop tickling me.”

“Mel has become more naughty and learned how to lie.”

“Wait, wait, ah ha haha! Stop! I can’t…”

“Oh yeah?”

“Ah Riyaaa, I’m sorry, ah ha ha ha!”

Laugher rang in Amelia’s residence and the few people who were guarding outside could naturally hear them. But from the conversation, everyone knew that these two girls were only playing around, so no one came inside and disturb them.
