Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Preparation
Riya sighed.

She didn’t want to live a life where she would be chased and killed all the time.

“Well, let’s just kill some of the livestocks and store their meat, skins, and bones for the time being…”

The time in the other section of this world was frozen anyway.

Even if she were to kill some of these animals, it would not rot and could still be eaten even after a long period of time. When there was a need, she could take these things out to exchange for some other things that she needed.

For example, the jade.

The more the better.

After all, Riya could still use them for a long period of time.

But that was for latter.

She had already exchanged a lot of jade from Samuel and she was not sure whether he would still have enough to exchange if she were to take out these things. Moreover, City A Base was by no means lacking in food.

And these foods would contain a lot of mana because these livestocks were raised in the world where the mana concentration was really high.

And the mana was not violent.

It was simply the best.

“But this also meant that I can’t use the plants that I grow in this world as reference for the others.” Riya thought about this and her lips twitched.

Forget it, research was not exactly her forte.

Her life in that world had made her forgotten many things about technology and so on in this world.

After making another paper puppet to help her, Riya left her world and then started to make more talismans. She would make a lot of variety from the jade. Anyway, rank 4 talisman would still be very useful.

Once her mana was exhausted, Riya would start meditating to recover her mana and the total amount of her mana would increase.

This has become a virtuous circle.

…

The next day, Riya looked at Ruben who came swaggering in front of her with questions marks on her face.

“Miss Riya, I have made a lot of these fences!” Ruben said proudly and then beckoned for her to follow him. “They’re all in the farm and ready to be installed. This is the example, exactly like what you request me to make.”

Riya looked at the fence that Ruben pointed at and then checked the mechanism. After seeing the hole that could be opened and closed right what she requested, Riya’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.

He was really good.

Even though he looked unreliable, his skills were really good.

“How many did you make?” Riya asked.

“In multiplication of ten, so it’s about 10 sets?” Ruben replied with a smile.

10 sets?

Riya nodded and said, “It should be enough for quite a large area, but does Samuel have enough magic core?”

These fences had to be used with the magic cores, so they would have to prepare enough magic cores. Without magic cores, the formation would be rendered useless.

“He said that he had enough for 10 sets but I don’t know if he has any spare.” Ruben spread his hand.

He said this, but he actually thought that Samuel should have more. That man has always been prepared for emergency and definitely would not take out everything he has in his arsenal.

“Good then. Help me to label them so that you would not make a mistake when changing the magic core in the future.”

“Ah? You can still make a mistake?”

“There are a total of 5 different element magic core,” Riya replied as she looked at Ruben. “Each of them correspond to different formation, with one as the main. Do you really think that all the formation will be the same?”

If she has to make all the complicated formation in each fence, Riya was sure that she would exhaust her mana. It would be better to just make the designated formation to each fence and then the one in the middle would be used as the fuse to combine all of them to work together.

But for this, she would have to make the mana connection…

Hmm, it seemed that she still has to work hard.

“Alright, I’ll carve it,” Ruben replied with a sigh. It seemed that after making 10 sets, he still have to work overtime.

“Also, don’t forget that you need to make similar fences to surround the farm itself. In this way, the formation can be disguised better.”

“Don’t worry, I have made more than enough ordinary fences. Samuel ordered me to make it last night.”

Riya nodded.

It seemed that Samuel was thoughtful enough to make this. But then again, it was also very similar to the fences in that world, so Riya shouldn’t have been surprised by his thoughtfulness.

Coming out of the Jones Family Residence, Ruben let the driver drove them to the farm in City A Base. The farm area encompassed a large area and there were several different fields that planted different plants.

Looking at the few buildings that was used as housing, Riya could guess that it should be the apartment for the farmers.

After all, if the farmers were to live too far away, it would be hard for them to take care of the farm.

And…

“How come the farm is so big?” Riya asked in surprise.

She knew that City A Base was built with the help of the officials, but how did they open up such a big land in the middle of the city?

“It’s because there are a lot of lands reopened after the earthquake,” Ruben replied. He was one of the few people who participated in this project, so he knew about it in details. “The broken buildings were demolished and the concrete dug up, replace everything with soil, arrange the concrete at the edge, and then…”

As Ruben explained the project, Riya only nodded blankly.

She had to say that she didn’t have much knowledge about this kind of thing.
