??????
The last sole descendant of the Horadrim mage organization, the bearded and bald Deckard Cain is currently looking at each other with big eyes and the little girl who just rushed to the tent in Akara alone. , except for the brief introduction that Akara just made to the two of them, no one spoke first.
"..."
Kane didn't want to talk, that's because he never expected that a certain talented Rogge he just promised to teach would be such a little kid?
He felt that Akara must be joking, it must be! ?
After all, in his own opinion, the knowledge of the runes of the Sanctuary World is a very profound subject! Although there are only thirty-two of them, the meanings represented by each numbered rune and each figure have profound meanings that humans still cannot fully understand! It can not only be used in the sanctuary world of Sanctuary, but can also exist in the Supreme Heaven and the Burning Hell. It is the supreme secret that makes up the entire world, and there is no one!
Think about it, the mages of their Horadrim organization spent several generations of efforts, but they only collected and systematically studied their writing and carving methods, as well as the seventy-eight available rune languages. Just a combination.
As far as Kane knew from them, if he wanted to successfully draw a rune and make it have powerful power, the requirements for a rune mage were very high! Whether it is mental strength, mana strength, basic drawing skills, selection of materials for runes, etc., these factors are all indispensable!
And this is why most of the runes that have been circulated in the world of Sanctuary and even Hell, etc., are carved on a kind of white stone! Because that thing called the Pseudo World Stone, that precious white ore contaminated with the breath of the World Stone, is the best material for carrying runes! Once other materials were used, the Horadrim mages found that the success rate of their drawings would be extremely low.
As for the combination of rune words, it is even more mysterious...
Those four series, a total of seventy-eight sets of rune words, are the most valuable and effective combinations that the Horadrim mages found after countless arduous attempts!
Moreover, Kane also saw from their ancient books that the combination of seventy-eight rune words is far from the pinnacle of rune application! Because, the Horadrim mages vaguely discovered that, in addition to being able to combine and burst out powerful power, those runes may also be the core secret that makes up this world!
It's a pity that the power of mortals is limited, and the Horadrim mages are no exception...Those pioneers, even in their entire lives, have not been able to take one or even half a step forward on this great conjecture... In the end, they could only stop at seventy-eight sets of rune words, and then the entire Horadrim mage organization quickly fell apart.
Regarding the application of Rune Language, Kane said that he has also done some research. For example, to form a Rune Language 'Heart of the Lion King', it needs to have no enchantments, but the corresponding enchantment patterns and three-groove armor have been carved, and then , if the three runes of Heel on the 15th, Lum on the 17th and Far on the 19th are stably embedded on the armor in accordance with the order and time requirements, you can get the lion on the basis of the original attributes. Effects of Heart Rune Words:
————
lion heart
Lionheart
Requires three-slot armor
Haile Lum Farr
Hel(15)+ Lum(17)+ Fal(19)
Requirement level: 41
+20% enhanced damage
Demand-15%
+25 Strength
+10 energy
+20 stamina
+15 Agility
+50 life
All resistances +30
————
In Kane's opinion, this attribute is very good!
Of course, this is just an ordinary rune language inlaid with three runes. What is memorized in Kane's head is a more powerful multi-rune language! That kind of powerful combination often requires five powerful runes to combine!
For example, if you have all the necessary runes and a rare long-handled or sword-type weapon with five grooves, you can form an artifact-level 'destructive' weapon!
————
destroy
Requires five-groove long handle/sword type weapon
Vaxro Bejoko
Vex(26)+ Lo(28)+ Ber(30)+ Jah(31)+ Ko(18)

Look, this is the great result of the research on runes by the Horadrim mages; this is the power of runes and the application of rune language! Put the five pieces of runes together according to the order and certain requirements, and you will get an artifact. Doesn’t it seem very simple?
Unfortunately, sitting up is extremely difficult...
It is precisely because of this that Kane finds it incredible and funny that Akela asked such a little guy who may not even know the words to learn runes and rune language from him! He suddenly felt that Akara was confused? In comparison, Kane himself is probably a little older, right?
What's more, he, Kane, was tortured alive by the demons in Tristram for several months, and his mental and physical state was far inferior to that of the other party.
"..."
Anne didn't speak either. She was looking curiously at this strange old man who was said to know everything.
The other party must have been washed yesterday. He is no longer the disgusting old man whose whole body reeks of the smell of poop. Instead, he has turned into a strange old man who is thin and shriveled. Moreover, he seems to be blind in one eye? Anyway, the other party looks pitiful now. Fortunately, Sister Kasha and the others rescued the other party in time. Otherwise, they might have died at some point, right?
However, Annie doesn't want to worry about this now. She just wants to get the knowledge about runes she needs from the other person's mind, and then...then he can do whatever he wants. She doesn't know how to do it herself. There is no point in continuing to play with this weird old man!
"Little girl, why are you looking at me like this?"
I don’t know why, but Kane always feels like he’s being turned on his head by the little guy in front of him. His eyes are very cunning, like a little devil, and he’s not at all like the innocent and ignorant little girl. look like.
Therefore, in doubt, Kane asked tentatively.
"It's nothing!"
"I just want to know why the demons didn't eat you on the spot and still let you live until now?"
Anne was really a little strange about this matter.
Because she had heard Flavi and the others say that no one who fell into the hands of the devil would come back alive! Many Rogs were thrown into the cauldron and eaten by the evil Sinking Demons. As for this skinny old man with no flesh on his body, even if the demons despised him and couldn't eat him, they shouldn't let him. The other party has been alive to this day and has been rescued, right?
Anyway, Annie felt that the other party was suspicious and there must be something wrong!
"Who knows, old man, I'm not a demon, so how do I know what they think?"
"It's a bit strange to say that those demons often sent some demons who could speak our human language to interrogate me about the Soul Stone at the beginning, but then they never came to ask me again."
"Maybe the reason why I can survive until now is just a fluke..."
In fact, Kane didn't really want to pay attention to the little girl in front of him, but after accidentally seeing Akela, who was pretending to drink something, paying attention to the situation here, he could only sigh and reluctantly explained. Such a sentence.
Then, thinking about the miserable conditions in Tristram, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed and lowered his head. It can be said that after the fear king Diavolo was released, in the miserable city of Tristram, almost none of the original citizens remained!
By analogy, the land in the Kingdom of Khanduras must have been in a similar situation wherever it was ravaged by demons, right? There are millions of people in the entire huge kingdom. Except for the fact that they were protected by the Rogs in the Blood Wasteland and survived, how many people in other places can survive by chance?
"No! I think it might not be that!"
Little Annie suddenly spoke very firmly and nodded from time to time.
"Well, what do you think...Mr. Sister Anne?"
Seeing that the other party was acting like a little adult, Kane teased him with a bit of laughter.
I don't know why, but Kane always felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the little girl's innocent but cunning eyes... Originally, this feeling was not too obvious just now, but now, Kane felt as if he was being stared at by a demon?
"I'm not a little nun, I'm an arcane mage! What a nun does, it's obviously what they say!"
Anne herself is not going to be some inexplicable nun. In addition to being a powerful arcane mage, she is also the great Queen of Fire, the cute leader of the Flame Alliance, the head of the Koprulu Sector Federation of Heroes, the Huo Honorary professor of Gwartz, boss and chairman of the Bear Shield Bureau, etc...
Anyway, she is definitely not a nun!
Nun or something like that is just a title that Akara and Kasha forced on her. She never said she wanted to join their strange 'Blind Eye' monastic order!
"Arcane mage...a mage who studies the secrets of the world? This is the first time I have heard of this novel term, but it is indeed very vivid..."
"Do those ancient mages in our Horadrim Mages Guild count?"
After hearing the little girl's words, Kane was a little surprised, and then he muttered to himself. Speaking of which, this was the first time he heard the strange word 'arcana' from someone else. Maybe this is possible. Is it a new mage sect?
After thinking about it, Kane began to think by himself again.
Being able to think without anyone else at any time and at any time is the latest skill that Kane has learned during the period when he was captured and imprisoned by demons. Otherwise, he himself would not be able to persist until now.
"Ahem! Kane?"
Seeing that an old guy was starting to fall into deep thought, Akara glanced at him, shook his head, and pretended to cough to remind him.
"Ah! Sorry..."
"By the way, little guy, where did we just talk?"
Kane, who finally came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly at Akela, and then continued to turn his head to look at the little guy standing in front of him who was said to be coming to learn runes from him.
Later, he must test the opponent carefully first. If his foundation is too poor, even if he offends Akala, he will definitely not teach him! Because, if you don’t have a certain foundation, you won’t be able to teach it no matter how you teach it, and it’s just a waste of time.
"We just said: the reason why you were not eaten by demons is because you are too old and don't have much meat on your body, so the demons want to keep you for a while?"
Blinking her eyes, Annie started to grin.
This old guy seemed a little abnormal, his memory was declining, and he was likely to develop into Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, she was very worried, had he forgotten the knowledge of those runes? Don't be sure to save an old fool and come back. If that's the case, then her happiness may be in vain.
"..."
Akara's hand movements froze for a moment, and then he continued to drink his own thing, still sitting quietly on the side.
"Is that so?"
Kane felt that this was not what they were talking about just now...
However, these are just trivial matters anyway, and he does not intend to continue to dwell on this with this little girl.
"Hey! Grandpa Kane, can I ask you one more thing?"
Suddenly she thought of something that puzzled her, so little Annie moved over to him mischievously, then opened her big eyes that looked like they could talk, and looked at the other person so cutely.
"sure!"
Kane thought that the other party was going to ask about what Akara had told him before about teaching the other party the knowledge of runes, so he sat up slightly and planned to take a closer look to see what abilities the other party had that would allow Akara to come here specially. Tell yourself this?
Now, he is ready.
Although he just had a good night's rest, Kane felt that his energy was still strong now, and there would be no big problem if he could barely pull himself together to deal with the questions asked by a little girl. After all, Fan Zuo is just a little girl, so how can he have any profound questions?
"I really want to know: What did you eat to survive? For so long, did the demons find something for you to eat every day?"
That's right, as a snack connoisseur, Annie's thoughts at this time were of course related to eating! For a prisoner who was captured by the devil for several months, she really wanted to know what delicious food he had during that time.
"!!"
"This... believe me, you absolutely don't want to know... it will be a terrible nightmare that will accompany me for the rest of my life..."
Originally, Kane almost hypnotized himself to forget about this incident, but now, a certain little girl reminded him of this incident with some pain.
Suddenly, he remembered the food he had eaten during the months when he was a captive, and then his face began to turn pale, and his stomach seemed to be violently tumbling...
In fact, at the beginning, although the demons would only find him some food from time to time, it was still normal bread, bacon or cheese, the remnants of the citizens of Tristram... and then, to In the later period, his daily meal was upgraded. It turned out to be a luxurious meal of protein-rich and chicken-flavored insects burned by the demons?
When he just changed his meals, before he figured out their specific source, Kane himself was actually very happy eating them every day, because they were nutritious and delicious, and only a small plate was needed to replenish his energy for the whole day. of heat and continue to survive.
In this regard, Kane was once pleased that the demons treated their captives with humanity?
But……
Later, when he, Cain, saw some familiar things crawling on the corpses of the citizens of Tristram who died tragically at the claws of the devil from under his prison, he no longer wanted to He had never thought about it that way, and once wanted to go on a hunger strike... But in the end, his food was still those roasted bugs that were rich in protein and exuded an attractive fragrance. There was a big plate every day, and the ones were getting bigger every day. Only!
So, Kane doesn't want to say more about this sad issue, he can't even think about it! Otherwise, how could he have been starved to the point where he was now skin and bones despite the excellent food treatment?
"..."
"..."
Although both Akara and Annie were dissatisfied with the stubborn Kane's refusal to explain the treatment of the devil's diet, in the end, they did not question each other excessively.
"You're not fun at all!"
"Then let's hurry up and write down for me all the graphics and descriptions of the thirty-two runes you know, as well as the combinations of the rune languages!"
Annie was getting a little impatient. After solving this matter, she still had to prepare a story about Johanna who wanted to betray the organization again, but she didn't have time to mess around with this unwilling old man here!
"..."
However, what made Annie angry was that after the other party looked at her again for a while, he shook his head and said to Akara:
"Akara, I don't think it would be a good idea for you to arrange for this little guy to learn runes with me... You may not know that whether it is runes or rune language, it is a very mysterious and advanced magic knowledge, which is very important for beginners. The requirements of scholars are very high...and now this little guy, I'm afraid she doesn't even know the words, right?"
This is why Kane feels that Akela is messing around now!
The other party would actually send a child who is still in elementary school to learn from him the most profound and profound knowledge of the Horadrim mages. In his opinion, this is absolutely ridiculous! Kane thinks that for the little guy in front of her, she at least needs to go back and study the advanced research notes for twenty or thirty years before she is qualified to learn runes with her?
"You skinny, bald old man, stop looking down on others!"
Seeing that the other party dared to look down on her like this, Annie became angry on the spot!
She, Queen Anne, is the top existence in the Rogge camp, whether it is her enchantment skills or her research on runes! Those Rogge and adventurers wanted to catch me every day, begging and crying to let me enchant one or two good things for them. How could they not even recognize the words as the other party said?
She has the profound art of understanding language in her body. No matter which world she goes to, she can quickly understand the other party's words and language! Moreover, even if she is not proficient in the language, she still has countless other ways to quickly master unfamiliar languages and characters, so she will definitely not be the illiterate little girl the other party said!
"..."
Kane was not speaking, however, his expression had betrayed him! He just looked down on the little girl in front of him, and he was not willing to waste time giving his rune knowledge to the other party to mess around with.
"hateful!"
"Akara, take this pen of yours and let me use it!"
Feeling dissatisfied, Annie grabbed the rag hat that the other party placed in front of her from a shelf in Akala's tent, and then drew on it with a brush.
"for you!"
Soon, in less than ten seconds, Annie completed the sketch and threw the dirty hat in front of the other party bitterly.

"This is impossible!!"
Kane screamed on the spot because he saw something illogical: a little girl actually used an enchanted pen to draw the rune language - 'Knowledge' on her cold-proof leather felt hat. '? If he hadn't seen this with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, right?
Or maybe, he thought, he must not have woken up yet? Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing happen? That’s right, that must be the case! It's absolutely impossible for this little girl to do something so easily that even the ancient Horadrim mages couldn't do. It's definitely impossible!
During the most glorious period of the Horadrim mages, only those rune masters could draw runes on stones of non-specific materials and make them work to a limited extent! But now, under Kane's nose, this little girl actually drew a 'knowledge' combination on his hat in just one breath? !
"It's possible!"
"Stop talking nonsense and bring me all your research materials on runes immediately! Including all the rune patterns and all the combinations of rune words you know!"
As long as she knows the correct combination of patterns and rune words, Annie can naturally study it by herself. She definitely doesn't need this stinky old man who dares to underestimate her!
"impossible……"
Kane ignored the little girl, but continued to look at his hat, as if he wanted to see how the two runes were painted on?
"Kane..."
"There are some things that you will understand later. Now, as we agreed before, give Annie what she needs?"
At this time, Akara couldn't stand it anymore.
After reaching out to signal little Annie not to worry, she persuaded Kane, who was still in a state of shock. Now there are a lot of new things happening in their Rogge camp, and there is even a living Archangel of Hope! But now, Akara doesn't want to talk too much to the other party, for fear of accidentally scaring this old friend who just escaped from death.
"..."
"Although I still can't understand... But, Akara, I will abide by what we just said... It's just that the ancient books recording those contents have long been destroyed in Tristram, so if I rewrite It may take at least ten days and a half to come out..."
"Don't worry, this is really not me trying to shirk... Akala, you have to know, the thirty-two runes and the seventy-eight sets of rune languages, as well as the connections and derivation between them, etc., I You have to remember it carefully before you can write it down."
After staring blankly at the little girl standing in front of him with his intact right eye that didn't have a cataract for a while, Kane sighed a little lost.
He suddenly felt that after he had been imprisoned for several months, why did things in this world seem to have suddenly changed, and he was still confused?
"Then it's decided happily!"
"Remember, Grandpa Wei, I will have someone come to you to get the book in five days. If you dare to act bad, you will be dead!"
After saying that, Annie made a face at the other party, turned around impatiently and trotted out.
"..."
"Akara, that little girl, who is she...?"
It took a while before Kane came back to his senses from his lost state.
"Don't ask, Kane. You should cultivate yourself well these days. When the time comes, you will understand some things yourself."
Akara didn't want to say more about Annie.
Anyway, after a while, when Kasha and the others come back, everything will be clearly displayed in front of each other. By then, she doesn’t need to say anything, this wise old friend, this Horadrim The great scholars who are descendants of the mage will naturally know about it.
"Okay, maybe I really need to take a good rest for a while..."
After the shock of today's events, Kane suddenly felt a little sleepy. As Akara said, after being tortured by the devil for such a long time, he really needed to take a good rest.

Didn’t I say last month that the update this month is unstable, starting from today?

(￣▽￣)~*?
I came back at 18:00 in the afternoon and rushed through 7,000 words without any revisions...
