Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Preparation
The second method was easier to make but at the same time, it was very tiring because they have to pour mana every single time they wanted to activate it.

Of course, there was an easier method.

It was to put non elemental magic core on top of the five stones drawn with formation that has been fixed on the well. The formation would use the mana contained within the non elemental magic core and allowed the water that passed by the formation to be purified.

Based on what she knew, rank 1 non elemental magic core should last 1 month if they didn’t overuse it.

Overusing it meant that they activated the formation 24 hours every single day.

Because if they did that, they would use up the mana within the non elemental magic core within half a month.

This number was only estimation and the application would still depend on the quality of the formation itself.

After writing the precaution, Riya stapled the first method and then stapled the second method. In this way, there were two bundles of paper. The last one was the water runes for rank 1 water magic core, which only required one A4 paper.

There was no need for Riya to secure it with staple.

Riya finished everything and then drew some runes, meditated, checked her farm, and then went out for lunch.

The chef had already prepared the food and during this period of time, Amelia and Sean didn’t come back during dinner. Their work place deployed the cool talisman, allowing them to feel cool even without coming back.

In that way, they really didn’t have to come back.

So Riya has been eating by herself.

‘Should I tell the chef that I don’t really need to eat anymore…?’

Riya felt troubled when she thought about this. After reaching rank 4, her needs for food has been greatly reduced. Even if Riya didn’t eat for a long period of time, there was no need for her to worry because she has mana to replace it.

But in the end, Riya didn’t do it.

She didn’t really want to lose her habit of eating just yet.

Even if she could truly stay alive without eating but right now, she still wanted to live like a normal person.

Perhaps in the future, she would live a life of not eating.

But not now.

“Riya?” Samuel came back with a man around his age following him from behind. “Have you prepared the drawings?”

“Yes?” Riya raised her head and looked at Samuel in confusion. “I have already prepared everything. Wait, you don’t want to say that you have built the well, did you?”

“I have built it.”

Riya: “…”

In just 4 hours?

Riya felt that she underestimated people’s construction speed. There was no doubt that making a well shouldn’t be that easy.

Seeing Riya’s doubt, Samuel quickly explained, “I can use earth magic to quickly make a hole on the ground and the rest is just to place the prepared materials and dry them quickly before pushing the water to bypass it.”

“Ok.” Riya could only accept it. It was indeed possible to do it so quickly in that world with magic but she subconsciously forgot about it since there were not many magician in this world. She completely forgot that Samuel also has earth element.

One of the basic use of magic was to control the element itself, so Riya should have known that Samuel could do this.

She looked at the man behind Samuel doubtfully.

“This is Ruben, my friend and also assistant,” Samuel replied. “He has been working for the base for a long time, so I haven’t introduced him yet.”

“Hello,” the man, Ruben, smiled and greeted Riya politely. He had slender built and wore glasses, looking like a serious and studious person. But when he spoke out, his voice was somewhat higher, which caused quite a mismatch.

Riya nodded and smiled back. “Hello.”

“And Ruben, this is Riya, my sister’s friend and also a magician,” Samuel replied. He paused for a moment before adding, “not from the Magic Association.”

“Free magician?” Ruben’s eyes lit up when he heard that and he looked kinder when he looked at Riya.

Seeing this scene, Riya was absolutely sure that the people from the Magic Association must have offended Ruben before. But thinking about how arrogant those people from the Magic Association were, Riya was not surprised.

It would be more surprising if they didn’t offend other people.

“Let’s go,” Samuel said.

The earlier they could finish this matter, the better it would be. After all, their supplies of water was not that much.

Riya nodded and then followed behind these two people as they walked to the mountain area behind the inner area. This was a special area, far away from the outer area and no one was allowed to go inside.

After all, the base controlled the supplies from the mountain and didn’t want other people to take it.

It was not easy for them to protect this place so much like this.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to avoid the effect from the mana increase unless they put the entire land within a greenhouse.

At that time, it might be possible for them to avoid the mana.

But food grown in that situation… it was estimated that it would not contain mana at all, which was not conductive for the magicians and magic warrior’s growth.

“Does the water contamination also caused by the air?” Ruben asked along the way when they talked about this problem.

“Yes.” Samuel nodded. “The mana in the air is actually mixed and the meditation allowed us to absorb the suitable mana for our body. But plants and magic beasts didn’t have such troubles and absorbed everything, which is why they will mutate to a certain degree. The water that exposed to the air will also slowly be contaminated.”

Right now, only the water in the area where there were many magic beasts died were heavily affected.

City A Base was still not affected yet.

But Samuel didn’t know how long it would last.

So it would be better for them to prepare this earlier.
