Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Mana Metal Ore (3)
“Yes, it’s a bit special I think,” the young man replied again.

You think?

Both Riya and Samuel were speechless.

The two of them continued to walk and Samuel suddenly took out his phone. He looked at the message that his father sent to him and felt a bit embarrassed.

Mr. Jones: There’s a report that someone made trouble in City B Base and the picture is similar to you. Why are you there?

Samuel: I bought some things in City B Base and these things are important. These people actually want to ask for 50% taxes. I refused and blocked his attack.

Mr. Jones, who was sitting in his office, looked at the message sent by Samuel and fell into silent. When he first saw the image that looked like Samuel, he thought that it was just someone with similar appearance.

After all, Samuel was in the crack and it was far away from City B Base.

But just in case, he sent a message to Samuel.

Who would have thought that the message went through and he found out from his son that it was indeed the other party who made trouble.

He sent another message.

Mr. Jones: It better be important because City B Base is issuing order to capture you.

Samuel: “…”

He looked at the message from his father and sighed deeply.

Uh, wait…

The one who made a move was Riya and not him, so why did they remember him more than Riya?

Samuel quickly sent a message to his father.

Samuel: It’s important and I’ll show it to you later.

Samuel: Also, I was not alone when I head to City B Base. Are they only reporting me?

Mr. Jones: Yes, the photo only showed you but there’s a blur on the side that seems to be a person.

Samuel read this and turned to look at Riya.

“Riya, do you have somethings that could block camera?”

Riya froze for a moment and then smiled sheepishly. “Mirage runes. While it’ll not block your view at close distance but from a distance, what you see will be different.”

Ever since her vest fell through in an instant when she made a move to help Amelia back then, Riya was thinking of a method to avoid the cameras to a certain degree. She didn’t need to be completely invisible but it would be enough to make it hard for the camera to see her.

“Mirage will not cause you to disappear,” Samuel said quietly.

“Well, the name is mirage runes but it’s actually a combination of mirage and illusion,” Riya replied. “It’s just that the effect will not be visible from direct view but it’s effective when you look at me through a mirror… or like, lenses?”

Samuel heard Riya’s words and his brain felt like it stagnated. He understood each of Riya’s words but he couldn’t understand it when it was being put together.

“You mean you’re making a new rune?”

Because he was sure that there was no such runes in that world.

“No, I’m not making new runes. I’m only making new combination of runes,” Riya replied. “But I don’t know how effective it is yet because it’s still in trial.”

She instinctively used it when they entered City B Base to avoid leaving her marks there. But Riya herself didn’t know whether it would be effective or not because these runes combination could only make her appearance looked different if they saw her from camera.

And RIya didn’t really put this matter into importance.

She only thought about it in her spare time when she was bored.

After all, Riya knew that it would be impossible for her to hide herself forever. There would be time when she would be found by others.

“It’s very effective,” Samuel said quietly and then asked, “Can you teach me?”

“… Forget it, the runes are still not stable yet.” Riya looked at the back of her hand where she had drawn some runes and shook her head. Proper combination of runes could last for a long time but this runes could barely last one hour.

It was too bad.

Samuel: “…”

If he had used this runes combination when he entered City B Base, his picture would not end up appearing in front of his father.

Thinking that his father would definitely scold him again, Samuel felt some headache.

Well… He could just pull these ores to his father.

He just has to trade some of them with Riya.

“It’s over here,” the young man’s voice interrupted Riya and Samuel’s conversation.

They have arrived in the ruins of a building. This place didn’t look that much different from other ruins around. If they were not wrong, there should be some buildings and stores in this area because of the leftovers things.

Samuel could also see that there were some magic beasts passing by from the blood and corpses marks on the ground.

With many people have no time to care about various things other than their own survival, there were still many corpses littering the ground. The scene could be said to be unsightly but there was nothing much that they could do.

After all, the two of them definitely didn’t want to waste their time burying unknown people.

It could be left to others in the future.

While the death of these people were a pity and letting them out here doesn’t seem to be that good, but not many people have the energy to care. They were too busy to think about how to get some food to eat tomorrow.

Unless it was their relatives, they would not care about the dead people at all.

And through these corpses, Riya and Samuel could guess that there was a fierce battle here.

But rather than fighting against the magic beasts, it was more of a battle against each other.

Because there were many traces of resources being moved here.

The battle should have happened because of resources dispute.
