Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Contamination (2)
Mr. Jones nodded. “That might be the only way.”

Amelia and Sean were listening to their father’s words and then they looked at the water on their glasses. “Does it mean that this water is safe?”

“Yes, it’s safe to consume.”

“Good.”

The two of them drank the water with relief while Mrs. Jones were frowning. She was the one taking care of the supplies, including water. Thinking that she would deliver these not so safe water for the people in the base to drink…. Mrs. Jones really felt uncomfortable.

“Also, you can use the purification spell,” Samuel added after thinking for a moment. “The purification spell usually worked when we cleaned up the magic beasts’ meat, so there’s no reason for it not to work for the water.”

Purification spell.

When Mr. Jones heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. “The problem is, I don’t think there are many mages out there.”

“Isn’t there still the mages from the Magic Association?” Samuel sneered. “If they wanted to keep their reputation, they should care about helping to lessen the burden of the people.”

Those people from the Magic Association kept on trying to take advantage of the situation and didn’t want to contribute much. There were even cases when they asked for more resources but they didn’t do much.

Now that this happen, they would have to work even if they didn’t want to.

Not many people have the talent to become magician and in the future, they would have to come up with something that could replace magic.

As for what it was, Samuel didn’t know.

Because in that world, there were not many pure technology without magic. Most magic was very powerful and thus the most powerful technology and weapons had to use magic.

Samuel was also not involved in the research, so he couldn’t say much.

“Good idea.” Mr. Jones’ eyes lit up.

He had long been annoyed by those people from the Magic Association, so this should be a good idea.

“Purification magic.” Mrs. Jones also nodded, somewhat relieved that this magic would work. She felt that whoever invented this magic in the first place was very powerful and kind.

He or she knew that the world would need such simple and easy to use magic just for their lives.

“That should be all.” Samuel couldn’t think of anything else and looked at his father.

Mr. Jones also nodded. “I’ll go to the meeting first.”

Since his son had said that it was impossible for them to help then he could only deliver this piece of news to the others.

How they wanted to do it was up to them.

Hopefully, they would truly use those annoying magicians from the Magic Association to work for them.

As for the payment?

It was not his business.

Mr. Jones was glad that there were several magic warriors in their family and in City A Base. There should be enough people to work under his wife to purify the water.

“Alright, you two, go to work and don’t forget your training.” Samuel looked at the two of them.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The previous control training was not over yet. After the first stage, in which Amelia won by narrow margin, the two of them proceeded to the next training. Since the things they have to control become more difficult, these two hadn’t finished that training yet.

Besides, Samuel arranged for them to train their bodies too as mana control was not really the main focus for magic warrior. In this way, their training pace has become slower.

Not that they minded it that much, though.

“Senior Samuel,” Riya called out before Samuel could leave.

Mrs. Jones saw this and quickly walked out and dragged her two children to leave.

“Mom, don’t pull me.”

“You’re about to be late. And after you’re done with work, I want you to come and help me.”

“Mommm!”

The two siblings protested heavily while Samuel stood still and looked at Riya.

After the two of them came back from that trip outside, Riya has been ignoring Samuel. It could be seen that she was still angry at him and Samuel didn’t know what to do, so he keep his distance.

Perhaps Riya would stop being angry after some time?

Facts proved that it worked.

Because Riya simply ignored Samuel and returned to her calm life. She didn’t seem to mind him that much anymore because she also understood why he had to test her.

It didn’t mean that she was not angry, but she could accept his behavior to a certain degree.

“Yes?” Samuel asked.

“Why do you not ask for my help?” Riya asked. After he had probed her strength and capabilities before, Riya wouldn’t believe he didn’t know about her real capabilities. There was no way for him not to know that Riya was capable of making purification runes.

Samuel arched his eyebrows and then said, “There are more than enough magicians in the entire world to take care of the food problem. Why can’t they also extend their abilities to purify the water too? It’s impossible for the entire world to rely on one person.”

Rely on one person?

Riya pursed her lips. “I don’t mean that.”

“Do you wish to be asked for help all the time?” Samuel asked this question instead and looked at Riya. “I know you’re capable but you’re also only one person. Besides, the main reason why you never showed your abilities before, isn’t it because you didn’t want to be found?”

Yes, that’s right.

Riya didn’t want to stand in the limelight and be forced to do many things that she didn’t want to do.

Because when she stood on the forefront, it was destined that her life would no longer be her own. She would have to take care of so many people who stood behind her.

And this was something that Riya didn’t want to.

Riya looked at Samuel and said, “I thought you will say that it’s the obligation.”
