Chapter 93: Trust in the Teacher

Bernie lowered his head. Having followed Joseph for so long, how could he not understand the teacher’s intentions? Now he felt somewhat embarrassed to look at William.

Seeing this situation, William quickly realized what was happening and immediately changed his tone, saying:

“Teacher Dahr, I’m very grateful for the opportunity you’ve given me to study at the Fifth Rune Workshop.”

“Hmm. You’re welcome here anytime to study.”

Seeing William being so eloquent, Joseph nodded in satisfaction.

That was his thought just now. Although his moral bottom line did not allow him to forcibly possess the “Self-Recharging” rune against his conscience, there was no problem with taking advantage of being William’s teacher.

“You’re William Cain, right? Very outstanding!”

On the way downstairs just now, Joseph had roughly learned about William’s identity from Bernie. Having the title of a court noble viscount, however, was nothing special in front of Joseph, a master of runes.

“I didn’t expect you to be so young and already so skilled in runes. Have you studied with any teachers before?”

“No, I’ve always figured it out on my own, so I am not as excellent as Bernie.”

William replied respectfully, wondering if Joseph was checking his background.

Joseph was even more satisfied now, nodding frequently and making a mental note of this matter.

“Without saying anything else, did you create this ‘Self-Recharging’ rune? Could you engrave it here for me to see?”

“No problem.”

William naturally had no objections, picking up the engraving tool on the table and operating it on a blank engraving plate.

He wasn’t worried at all that Joseph would record the process of engraving the rune. To be honest, with Joseph’s vision and strength, he could probably reproduce it almost immediately upon seeing the “Self-Recharging” rune. It was better to be open and lay a foundation for future cooperation.

Moreover, William still had some subsequent extension runes for “Self-Recharging” that he hadn’t shown yet!

After William proficiently sketched the “Self-Recharging” rune on the engraving plate, Joseph quickly took it over and carefully examined it. After all, the engraving plate could display all the standards and details of the rune.

After a long while, Joseph finally shifted his gaze away, put down the engraving plate, and said to William:

“Your creation is very impressive. With just this rune, your future achievements won’t be inferior to mine.”

“Speak up, what’s on your mind? I believe you’re not just showing me this precious rune for no reason.”

William nodded earnestly and straightforwardly requested:

“I won’t hide it from you, Teacher Dahr. I seek your assistance.”

“You must have realized the tremendous value of this rune. I want to keep this secret and learn the ‘Concealment’ rune from you.”

“Do you want to take all the benefits for yourself?”

Joseph frowned, feeling that this “student” had quite an appetite. He could already imagine how vast the wealth represented by this, and before this immense benefit, William’s identity as a court viscount was simply insignificant.

“Of course not. I will gather some people to work together. Initially, the market shouldn’t be too big. I’ll also inflate the costs a bit, so I don’t think many people will pay much attention to me.”

“I want to set up a chamber of commerce with Bernie and another person to handle this matter. So, isn’t it the right time to ask for Teacher Dahr’s help?”

William struck while the iron was hot, immediately leveraging the “deep” bond between the two as teacher and disciple.

Originally, Joseph had no other thoughts. Seeing two such outstanding students was quite a face-saving matter for him. Could he still be a good teacher if he didn’t support them?

“No problem, it’s on me. The ‘Concealment’ rune, right? Simple!”

Upon hearing William’s plan, Joseph no longer worried.

Try as they might, with him around, his students in the Kingdom of Fis wouldn’t have to worry about being bullied. A little setback could lead to more maturity

‘Haha! How amazing am I? Such excellent disciples are even coming to me!

Next time, I should show off in front of those old folks, what’s the point of being grumpy all day long for no reason?’

William was unaware that in just a short while, Joseph had flashed through so many thoughts in his mind. Instead, he earnestly consulted Joseph about the relevant knowledge of the “Concealment” rune.

Unaware, William discovered that although the “Concealment” rune had excellent effects, its engraving requirements were not low. Though not yet at the level of advanced runes, it was considered relatively difficult among intermediate runes.

Not to mention the combination of the “Concealment” rune with the “Self-Recharging” rune, which would require a considerable amount of effort.

Typically, only rune masters needed it to protect secret runes.

After chatting for a while, Joseph saw that William probably understood the principles of the “Concealment” rune, and he waved his hand.

“Forget about the rune combination; I happen to have some free time these days. I’ll help you with this matter.”

“Thank you, Teacher Dahr!.”

William was quite happy; this was a big help. Otherwise, even if he managed to create the combined rune through his own efforts, the result would surely be far inferior to that of a rune master.

“Haha.”

Joseph certainly didn’t mind putting in the effort; he nodded with a smile.

Honestly, the brief exchange with William made Joseph even more fond of his new student.

Not only was he remarkably insightful, but he could also sketch the “Concealment” rune decently after just two demonstrations. Although he still had a long way to go in terms of practical rune engraving, it was enough to show that William had barely reached the level of an intermediate enchanter.

During the exchange, Joseph faintly sensed that William’s proficiency in micro runes seemed to be higher.

Runes, as one of the most fundamental means for humans to manipulate elemental forces, were closely associated with extraordinary powers such as spells. Any text or pattern capable of harnessing elemental forces or activating them was collectively referred to as a rune.

At the same time, with the gradual development of magic, runes were also classified into three categories.

The first category is Giant Runes.

There is almost no real information about them; they are only recorded in some ancient texts.

According to legend, each Giant Rune is a unique existence, formed at the beginning of the world, and possesses the ability to manipulate the primal forces of the world.

Therefore, some scholars doubt the existence of Giant Runes, considering them to be mere myths about natural phenomena.

However, some scholars believe that Giant Runes do exist but have been taken into the realm of the gods, and have not appeared before humans for a long time.

The second category is Intermediate Runes.

This includes the category to which the “Self-Recharging” rune belongs. Most of the enchantments, magic arrays, and spells used in enchantments belong to this category, and it is the most familiar and widely used category of runes.

As for the last category, it is Micro Runes.
