Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Friendship
“Thank you,” Sophia thank Riya and held the contract with her.

Riya smiled and rubbed Melly’s head once more.

To be honest, now that the world was changing again, Riya regretted a bit that she didn’t enjoy her comfortable life a bit more.

At that time, she was busy meditating almost in her entire free time. She still gathered with Sophia, Amelia, and the others from time to time. However, they were not very close to each other and didn’t do it that often.

Now… Riya could only take her time and enjoyed her time with her friends.

She didn’t know what would happen in the future.

“Ok, I’ll go back first…”

“Wait.” Sophia stopped Riya and then took out a stack of raw jade that hadn’t been processed. “I collected these and heard that you like it. I don’t have much use of them, so I’ll give them to you.”

These were the jade that Sophia felt that they looked good but hadn’t had time to process. She left them behind in this mansion so that her grandparents could take care of it. Now that there was no way to process them, she would rather than it over to Riya first.

Riya looked at the stack of jade and looked at Sophia in confusion. “How did you know that I like it?”

Her deal with Samuel should have been a secret and no one should know about it.

After all, Samuel was unlikely to tell others about this matter unless he wanted her to start doing business with others. Wouldn’t his own interest be affected at that time?

As a qualified businessman, Samuel would never do that.

“Didn’t you come to pick stones in my family’s store some time ago?” Sophia asked with a faint smile. “After asking the staffs, I found out that you bought a lot of stones from several sections. In the past, you have never taken any interest in jade but now you did. I guessed that it might have some relationship with the current you.”

The current her?

While Sophia didn’t make it very clear, Riya could guess that Sophia made some inference that the jade was important for her.

It might not be before.

But after Riya had learned magic and so on.

Sophia might not know the details, but she was also very sharp and could see that Riya truly treated these jades as something important.

So Sophia didn’t hesitate and brought out her treasures out.

“You’re really smart, Sophia.” Riya sighed and smiled. “Which makes me wonder why your teacher kept on chasing after you for make up exams.”

“Ahhh! Why do you have to remind me of those?!”

Riya laughed when she saw Sophia complained. Sophia was very partial in her lessons, which made some of the lessons which Sophia was not interested in to be in negative score. Even Riya wondered what Sophia did to make the teacher gave her such a score.

After laughing a bit, Riya took out a jade that had been cut by her and slowly carved on it.

Soon, it was done and Riya handed it over to Sophia.

“This is a full defense talisman. It can protect you up to 10 times for attack below 3rd rank. Of course, if it’s the attack from Senior Samuel, you better hide and don’t be brave,” Riya said and explained to Sophia.

Sophia looked at the jade that had been carved in her hand curiously. Even though she had seen Riya’s performance when she made those runes on the magic cores before, this was the first time she saw them up close.

The engraving looked very good.

It looked like professionally made jade.

“Once you have used it 8 or 9 times, you better come to me for repair,” Riya said. “You don’t go out often, so I think that a full defense talisman works best for you.”

Unlike Amelia who wanted to become a full fledge magic warrior, Sophia was most likely to become a mage in the future rather than magic warrior. In that case, Sophia had to be careful of others attack to her.

“How to count it?”

“Once the shield is activated, it’ll continue to stay activated for one minute, giving you a full protection for an entire minute,” Riya replied. “After that, the shield will disappear. No matter how many times you’re attacked during this time, it’ll only count one time.”

Sophia’s eyes lit up. “It’s a good thing. I can’t believe that there’s such a magical thing in my hands now.”

Riya laughed.

If it was not because making a rank 4 talisman was difficult, Riya wanted to give Sophia a better one.

Oh well, there shouldn’t be any other rank 4 magic warrior in the entire City A Base aside from Samuel. No one would be able to hurt Sophia.

Speaking about protection talisman…

Should she made another one for Ruby?

The other party has been staying in the laboratory for a long period of time and couldn’t even see the shadow now.

Well, Riya can go there.

But she was a bit lazy.

And there didn’t seem to be any danger in the laboratory.

Besides, Riya was not sure which path that Ruby wanted to take. Whether she also wanted to train or not was also another question.

“Thank you very much, Riya.” Sophia grinned.

“It’s nothing.”

“Also… Even if you’re so powerful, remember to play with us too.” Sophia stretched her hand and pinched Riya’s cheek.

“I know that you might become powerful and couldn’t contact us for a long time, but I hope you won’t forget us.”

Riya looked at Sophia with confusion in her eyes.

Sophia didn’t say anything and only looked at Riya with the same calm look. She came from a big family and met with many people over the years when she grew up. So she understood very well that the difference in background would make it impossible for all of them to become friends thorough their entire life.
