Return of the Legendary Runesmith-Chapter 67 - 66- Triggered(1)

"Third grade?!" Adrian was startled upon hearing that, "Are you nuts? You got what you needed then let me go. I can’t make a third-grade weapon." Adrian argued.

It was absurd to think that the man was demanding a third-grade armament that only a few runesmiths across the world could make.

Munrow sat there lazily, his hands brushing his beloved axe as he said, "I know one thing for sure that unless the Runesmith has a special talent, the fourth-ranked Vermillion wouldn’t have approached you and saved you. So, there is no point in making it sound that you can’t forge a third-grade armament."

Adrian’s eyes narrowed, "So the person who tried framing me is you?"

"That’s right. I was planning to have you sent to the interrogation cell and abduct you en route. But well, that plan failed because my partner in crime was incompetent."

Adrian’s brows drew closer. He knew it. Moret was working with them and it was Munrow all along.

He became so desperate to kidnap him that he stole the question paper and even involved a Tower Master. Just...what rumors are spreading around the world that Adrian has become such an important entity?

"You don’t have much time, Professor. As soon as you make the third grade for me, I will let you go." Munrow offered.

However, Adrian has a feeling that he is not going to let go just after a single armament.

’There are seven men around and I can’t discern how many of them might be hiding. These are Acolytes, so fighting them from a distance would be disastrous, and before I reach them, I would need to fight this gorilla.’

Adrian was calculating the chances of him to escape from this place in one piece.

He cannot tell if Ariana will find his location anytime soon since he was brought here through Teleportation. That’s why, he cannot rely on anyone else but himself.

"Before the Third Thread, it is needed to build the second one," Adrian told him, and instantly Munrow nodded,

"Yes, please."

Adrian asked, "What is the weapon made of?"

With a fond smile, he looked at his weapon as he said, "Pure silver,"

Adrian hummed, something he expected. Silver was probably one of the most expensive materials in the world yet it was nothing too difficult for a criminal to have a weapon made out of it.

There are several means through which Munrow funds his operations. So it wasn’t much of a surprise.

"Remove your clothes and lay down somewhere," Adrian commanded as he rolled his sleeves and took out his runic pencils.

Munrow gave a brief nod before he gestured towards one of the Acolytes, the one with whom he had been interacting since before, and started to undo his shirt.

He got into his shorts and laid down on the ground before a shimmering barrier lifted him off the ground and brought him to a height that was perfect for Adrian to perform Runesmithing.

Adrian looked at the man’s whole body and found there were twelve mana points, which was quite good.

With this many mana release points, he can easily wield a third-grade weapon and utilize it to its fullest, thanks to his experience.

He went through the same process, which he had practiced hundreds of times in the time chamber.

He built three runes for twelve mana points and started connecting them slowly.

"How much do they pay you to teach those brats?" Munrow suddenly asked, seeing Adrian’s experienced hands working diligently to build an armament for him.

Adrian didn’t remove his eyes from the runes as he said, "Enough to not make me switch my jobs."

Munrow chuckled, "Well, everyone thinks they have enough until they get their hands on a higher amount. Money has always brought happiness for everyone."

Adrian exhaled an exasperated sigh, "If I start selling my armaments today, I will be rich enough to make you work for me. I always had the option. But I still chose to work as a Professor."

Munrow didn’t speak immediately. A man with skills was already hard to find, and here he has his principles and general awareness as well.

"You are an interesting man, Adrian."

The room fell silent after that

Adrian took his time to build the second Thread and connected all the twelve points to the runes using the correct dialects. Messing up here wouldn’t affect him in any manner so why not make a good armament?

After around ten minutes, Adrian wiped the sweat off his forehead and told him, "It’s done."

Munrow got up from the platform and wielded the weapon.

The connection with it has become firmer as if he was supplying mana to his own body.

He swung the weapon and a long slash this time, clawing the ground and the ceiling, advanced toward the wall, and created a huge gap in the wall, cracking the ground.

Adrian peeked through the wall fleetingly...and sadly, there was another room rather than the outside world.

Munrow grinned as he nodded, "You did a great job, man. I can barely feel my mana being spent."

Adrian nodded before asking, "Do you want me to continue with the third thread already or do you want to rest?"

Munrow’s response was quick, "I feel no strain on my body at all. Please continue with the third thread."

Adrian nodded as he saw Munrow getting on the platform once again and resting his axe on the side.

Adrian, then suddenly, warned him, "Remember, I am going to trigger your emotions, so instruct your men to not attack me if you suddenly cry or something."

Munrow was well aware of the application of the third Thread so he told his men, "Don’t act based on my reaction. Just stay where you are."

The Acolytes didn’t respond but they most likely understood.

Adrian barely suppressed a smile.

Now that the Acolytes have gotten the command, regardless of how Munrow reacts, they are not going to do anything.

Just perfect~
