Chapter 185 – Hyehoon’s Lucid Dream (4)
The inside of the cave was clean.
Perhaps there is a person who cleans—not a bicorn—. Still, it was dark because it was a cave, but when I entered, it seemed that the light was illuminated by magic. It’s hard to manage if you have a lantern.
“〈 Friar’s Lantern〉.”
─Break it!
I activated a blue light lantern that was good for my eyes. I switched to my default coloring of green and threw it into the cave like throwing a stone into a well.
Wheein-.
The light of the Green Lantern leads the way by lighting up the cave.
Fortunately, it is not a very deep cave.
“These eyes can see the darkness well…”
As I muttered, I soon arrived at the dead end of the cave.
It was a stone chamber full of tombstones, like a graveyard.
Many of the stones on one side were broken, but many of them reached my shoulder because they maintained their original shape. These are all rune stones that Veronica has collected.
‘And it’s also a candidate item for my accessory box.’
These were the rewards for 【Quest: Save the Vicorn Veronica (1/1)】.
Like a tyrant choosing a concubine to take to bed tonight, I looked down at the rune stone.
‘For now, pass anything that’s too big.’
Even large, unbroken stones have the effect of strengthening rune magic.
However, for an adventurous adventurer & archaeologist like me, a rune stone that was difficult to carry around would be useless. That kind of thing is like a totem in the game, it’s an item that applies a wide range of buffs.
‘The era is portable.’
It was irrational to choose the interior furniture to be installed in our sweet home here. A married man who buys furniture on his own without the help of his wife, Rang-sang, and receives harsh criticism. I hate such a sad life.
Besides, there was only one large rune stone that kept its original form. I transformed into a real doll pedophilia and looked at the stones scattered on the table.
‘… It shows that he studied with great care.’
If I can tell you my honest impressions, this place felt like a nature museum.
A human-oriented space that collects and displays wide-ranging creatures of nature! The only difference was that there were no exhibits that were living things here.
The museum I remember was a place where stuffed insects were displayed in the show window like a gold and silver room run by Fabre, but Veronica’s rune stone warehouse has the impression of a cafe for selling pets.
In other words, can it be called an archaeologist’s laboratory?
Maybe it’s because I put notes and interpretations on the rune stone specimens. It is an emotional feeling that gently stimulates the trauma of the master. Thursday morning… Accumulating… Premonition of the weekend work… Ugh the head.
─Tuk.
“Det?”
I was walking through the trauma switch and something bumped into my hand. It was because I was watching while sweeping the table with my hand.
I picked up the stone caught in my finger.
It is a red rune stone. But how are the rune stones here? Escape on your own?
I became suspicious and looked at the place where I picked up the stone.
‘Did Veronica go without tidying up while researching?’
Did he forget to clean it up before coming to Britannia to see me?
I understand. I know it well because I was the beauty of the lab room in the corner of the room. Living as a slave in a lab room, mold grows on a teacup that has been left unattended for a week, but it’s not uncommon for me to not organize what I’ve been researching.
Why do you treat historical relics so poorly? There are rules of the field in the field, this is a word.
Anyway, this must be related. I rolled the rune stone in my palm. It might have been crushed fragments from the original, but no runes were written on it, so anyone looking at it would think it was just a colored stone.
“?”
I thought so, but when I looked closely, I saw runes engraved on the smooth side of the stone.
It was the rune of ᛏ (Teiwaz).
This rune is used as a prayer for longing for victory, and because of its massive shape, it has been compared to spears and juji. From the tail that looks like it, the fucking glans and the cock pillar itself.
In any case, since the warriors of Germania in the Age of Mythology were never afraid of fighting like Cheugai, this rune was the rune of victory, courage, and fodder.
As a forager in another world, is there any other rune that suits me better than this!
It was a rune that was not in the list of candidates I would learn next because it was a useless rune in rune magic.
A rune stone is an evil that has the effect of ‘rune magic +20%’ regardless of its appearance.
If everything has the same effect, wouldn’t it be logical machoism to take it as the one who takes care of the rook daughter!
“It’s Juji’s rune. You belong to me.”
I like it. I happily decided to take this rune stone.
Still, since it’s still under research, I thought it would be better to ask before receiving it, but it didn’t sound like calling out Veronica, who had just started a Haeju seminar.
Fortunately, I looked at my watch and there was more than an hour left.
‘It just went well.’
I put down the rune stone and took out the seal. I need to learn a new rune with the mana I gained from the ogre. I was procrastinating because I didn’t have time.
But if I use it all up, I think Veronica will notice when I go back. Let’s learn just one.
‘The candidates have already been decided.’
In fact, even if it wasn’t for that unicorn baby, I was going to learn this rune before ᚨ (Ansuz).
─Whiriririk! I wrote a letter in the air while recovering the mana of the rune I had stored in the seal. The rune’s mana turned into text as I wanted.
‘Wait a minute.’
But how do you pronounce this rune?
Unexpectedly, a question came to me! I closed my gaping mouth and pondered.
There was a difference between the rune language that spread to people in the modern world and the rune language that spread to monsters and vicorns. It’s a much bigger gap than the difference between British English and American English.
‘Which way should I learn?’
It was something I hadn’t thought about until the other day, but once I realized that runes had real effects that people from other worlds couldn’t use, I couldn’t pass them over.
Maybe you can’t use the awakening edition rune magic like ᚨ (Ansuz) with human pronunciation or letters!
So after much thought, I decided to pronounce it in a bicorn style. It was because I saw that Veronica handled this rune skillfully.
At least this wouldn’t be a joke. Thinking so, I pronounced the rune.
“ᚦ(Thurisaz).”
A rune that gives resistance to attack magic!
And it was a rune that meant protection and well-being by that protection.
Since the last time I met Tabula, it was a rune magic that left an impression on me, so I chose this rune without hesitation.
‘Even if I turn on Beast Return, if I’m wrongly hit by the magic, I’ll go hooked.’
Did Tabula’s baby chew all the attack magic with the red?
Objectively, this was a great thing. There was a Tirsi-level wizard in the rear, and even though I bought a lot of time as a avant-garde, I couldn’t make Tabula, who transformed into a dog, into frozen meat because of one attack magic resistance.
‘The difficulty is that MP is reduced every time I get hit by magic, but I can usually avoid it.’
This is insurance in case of danger. Let’s give it to something like a necklace later. It was when he tried to calm down the rune’s mana with that thought in mind.
─Paaaaa!
Sudden surprise flash grenade
Some of the rune stones radiated light! What else is this? Confused and coldly watching, I saw a beacon rising from the valley of my muscles.
The Rune Stone you just picked up was radiating a tremendous amount of light!
“Ouch! Red paint is leaking from the stone!!”
I let out a scream and took out a stone and threw it.
“Fire in the Hole!”
─Wheek! Flying stones. Away from danger, I chose a show window and took refuge behind it.
What’s happening? Did it respond to my rune magic? I put my doubts aside and activated Beast Return. It was fortunate that he had brought a spear because he had to go through the forest.
─Sereung.
I pulled the mithril window to the side of the show window. I peep at the state of the rune stone reflected in the window like that. It is national rule that if you take a quest item from a cave, it will start to collapse, but the ground was quiet.
– Chijik. Supportive position.
Noise reminiscent of a broken cathode ray tube TV! Seeing the shadow appearing like that, I grabbed the spearhead.
The rune stone was projecting a hologram of a woman holding a spear.
***
It was a woman wearing armor that felt more ancient than the ancient civilization.
An impression that somehow resembles the Odin I saw in my dream!
It wasn’t because they looked alike that I thought so. The woman over there feels like a warrior by her appearance. Unlike the crazy hot idiot goddess who was a bit clumsy, she had a solemn expression, so there was no resemblance.
But I kept thinking that she somehow had a similar vibe to Odin, and my curiosity was quenched when the woman opened her mouth.
─Can you hear me well? From now on, I will teach you who have acquired this rune stone, my spearmanship [Geirtýr].
The woman said that while taking her kisui with her spear.
─Prick! A sharp spirit that gives chills! In an instant, her body reacted and she almost pointed her spear at her. That’s why the woman’s posture was open and menacing.
Like a tiger that jumped out of a tree and landed in front of her nose, I felt a sense of intimidation from that woman’s posture, as if I was hitting a person’s instinct with a log.
—This spearmanship is a divine spear that has been given divine name by the Heavenly God. Therefore, I will pray to the heavenly gods that the warriors of the glorious Vistula will learn and practice my teachings and pass them down to future generations.
Guertur, Vistula?
Either way, it was the first word I had heard. If you look at the fact that it cannot be translated, it is a proper noun. Still, I guessed from her words that Gertur was the name of a martial art.
─Guerture has 9 attack stances and 9 counterattack stances. Learn the basics of attack and counterattack. Those who have completed all 18 may combine them and change them to suit themselves.
─Shoot! Shoot!!
The woman who hadn’t even introduced herself said so and demonstrated her. I was convinced by the action.
‘This is the Ingang.’
A video medium that records the teachings so that students do not have to worry alone by looking at the words written on paper!
What I replayed was a video of a primeval ancient river!
I was suddenly stunned by the difference in technology between the past and the present.
‘Fuck. There’s no pornography in this modern world!’
When I was a slave in college, my daughter, who was a married man in the lab room and asked me to hide it, was all pictures!
But the woman who spoke as if she was reciting a script seemed very familiar with the filming. This was proof that when the rune stones were created, the human video was commonplace.
The bear player of the fucking ancient civilization was destroyed by accident. I was so angry that I made up my mind. The brain should not be dominated by Juji. Get your senses right, mugaltong!
‘This video is similar to the arrangement Odin left for me.’
The alter ego of the so-and-so who appeared in my dream and gave me words!
Wouldn’t that be magic that increased the quality thousands of times the magic granted to the rune stones?
Odin was also the god of magic and wisdom. Making a super-high-tech artificial intelligence video lecture would have been a piece of cake while lying down.
As I thought about such a hypothesis, other questions were also solved.
‘Maybe the ogre’s seal?’
The legacy of an ancient civilization that Professor Ogre had!
I stroked the seal. The essence of this seal is a rune stone with MP storage function added. Could it be that there was a ‘record left to the successor’ like that here?
Rune level 1 in 3 weeks! Primitive ancient ogre teacher’s special lecture on runes!
What if the video stored in the seal was like that?
The reason why the ogre baby became a master of runes seemed to be explainable.
‘No, wait. Then why didn’t Veronica know about this?’
I make a impression on a sudden thought.
If Veronica had known that this was her personal experience ticket, she would have tipped it off. This is a special lecture on spearmanship, and this is a 0-won refund class for daughter-in-law Ajo’s sex technique.
‘But nothing was said. Veronica didn’t know that rune stones had this function.’
In this way, she did research like an archaeologist, but she did not know.
Then, is this a special phenomenon that is allowed only to a special person called ‘me’? Like Beast Return?
No. The answer was NO. There was no other place for the young ogre to learn the knowledge of the Mythic Age, the runes, or the rituals of human sacrifice.
Of course, since it is a relic of an ancient civilization, this seal may have had a set of buffs that increase the ogre’s DHA. But that didn’t matter to me.
The important thing was that there was a high probability that Ogre Professor Shack had seen such a video.
Think. Isn’t this an easy guess? I squeezed my brain and built the most logical hypotheses.
‘──The record of the rune stone has access conditions.’
─Prick! Electrical currents passing through my brain left a scorch of realization in my hippocampus.
There is only this.
I gave up hiding and got up. When I checked with a hawk’s eye, there were several glowing rune stones in the stone chamber. It’s just ‘a few’.
Not all, but about one-fifth of the whole!
Among the things here, there were a lot of rune stones that didn’t respond to my mana. In other words, not all rune stones were random records.
Think about it. Didn’t this seal first respond to me and Veronica’s magic?
If you think about the ogre talking like a fan, the seal’s playlist is 100% ogre version fandangogi. Once upon a time, ogres were at the center of the world! It must have been a joke.
‘Then, based on common sense, I would have limited the audience to show the content to ogres of the same kind!’
That was the reason.
That is why Veronica continued to collect rune stones even after collecting them with such enthusiasm.
