Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Return
Samuel heard Riya’s words and looked at the sun in the distance. It was dawn, so the temperature was not that hot.

However, he understood what Riya meant.

“It takes time to carry them and our warehouse is almost full,” Samuel explained.

Even if they wanted to work faster and all, there was simply no way for them to do it.

Riya glanced at Samuel.

For some reasons, she felt that he was implying that he needed the space storage scrolls. After all, with this scroll, they could gather many things faster and required little effort in terms of stamina.

What a profiteer.

After scolding Samuel in her mind, Riya walked forward and entered the gate after showing her identification card. It was basically an ID card that was made by the base for their people who often went out of the base.

There was no other ways for them to enter the base.

*roar?*

The white tiger looked at Riya as if asking whether it could follow Riya into the base or not. After all, it could sense that these humans were looking at him warily.

These people knew that there were beast master.

Murin was already the best example.

But that Murin was simply a b*stard who attracted a large number of magic beasts into the base. So their impression of that guy was in big negative.

Seeing a magic beast following Riya, these soldiers were wary.

“Give the white tiger an identification label,” Samuel gave instruction after he saw the soldiers’ action. He knew very well that if he didn’t give his words today, there would be a long process before Riya would be allowed to enter the base.

He looked at the white tiger beside Riya and guessed that Riya wanted to make use of this chance to introduce this little guy.

Oh well, it will be lively in the future.

*Roar!*

The white tiger was happy and nudged Riya’s hand when he sensed that these humans were no longer hostile to himself.

As for Samuel?

Eh, he will treat him the way Riya treat him.

Anyway, his master is Riya and not Samuel.

“Thank you,” Riya said and then took the identification given for the white tiger. In this way, the white tiger could come and goes around the base as long as Riya gave permission to it.

*roar.*

“You’re welcome.” Samuel smiled faintly.

After they passed by the gate, Riya could see some people had started to come out for work. She felt that these people were quite diligent.

But then again, they have official break time when it was midday because it was simply too hot.

Rather than suffering from heatstroke, it would be better for them to wake up earlier for work and then take a rest in the middle. The people who oversee the work also saw their action but they didn’t care too much.

Mainly because they themselves also wanted to take a break in the middle of the day.

‘The cool talisman could help but not much,’ Riya thought to herself as she made her way to Samuel’s house.

After all, there was a limit to how many cold talisman she could make each day.

It was not impossible for Riya to make a lot of them in the single day but she would have to focus on making the cold talisman all day long.

After that, it was estimated that she wouldn’t be able to rest at all and had to work more.

Sacrificing everything for others?

Riya didn’t want to do that.

What Riya wanted to do the most was to strengthen herself until she was capable enough. As for others?

Why should she care?

“We’re here, Senior Samuel,” Riya reminded and then walked towards the direction of her temporary room.

Samuel arched his eyebrows but didn’t stop Riya.

Their night journey this time was indeed quite long. He managed to see various other sides of Riya and also saw her strength to a certain degree.

Well, the girl was also angry at him.

But having known this, Samuel felt that he should be careful around Riya.

It was just…

He could see that Riya didn’t seem to have any ill intention towards the Jones Family. If anything, the main reason why she came here seemed to be because Amelia was here.

‘Forget it. I better not think too much for the time being.’

…

In her room, Riya sat down on her bed and then activated the formation to recover her mana. She had already recovered parts of her mana on the journey but it would be better to meditate in a quiet place.

After all, the white tiger’s back was not really… the best.

Right now, the white tiger was back into the space. There was no way for Riya to let the white tiger roam around all the time.

She had to introduce the white tiger to the base slowly but surely.

‘Let’s take that special magic core.’

Riya took out the special magic core and there was a hint of excitement in her face. With this special magic core, she would be able to advance to rank 5 faster. The special magic core was cool to the touch but Riya could sense the vast mana contained within.

It was hard to believe that such a special magic core was made from the flesh of those magic beast.

She didn’t know how it was processed and if there was a chance in the future, she would try to study it. Anyway, as long as it was not the time when those formation operated to make the new special magic core, it should be fine for her to go there.

Sitting down and meditating, Riya absorbed the special magic core and the pure mana washed her body.

It felt comfortable.

Time passed quietly.

Before long, Riya opened her eyes and then looked at her hand speechlessly.

“Just how much mana do I need to reach rank 5?” Riya asked herself in a bitter tone.

A rune master was really… a money burning profession.
