Chapter 452 Analyzing Runes
The Stone Tower.
In the end, this tower was just a crude building made of stone. It didn’t have complete facilities like an actual adept’s tower; it certainly didn’t have a sea of lava, such as the one in Fire Throne, that Greem could use to continue tempering his Spirit.
The efficiency of meditating in a place like this was only one-fourth or even one-fifth of what it was in Fire Throne. Every day here was like endless torture for Greem.
To ensure he didn’t end up wasting his time, Greem dedicated most of his time here to the study and mastery of the otherworldly runes.
After eleven years of processing, the Chip had finally managed to analyze and decipher the one hundred and seventy-three runes brought back from the Knight’s Plane. Apart from the one hundred and twenty-two primary runes that both worlds shared, thirty-five of the runes were variations of existing runes, and sixteen of them were new and rare runes.
The shape of the runes had been confirmed and verified. What came next was a more detailed probing and analysis of each rune to figure out the hidden knowledge within them.
One could say that the variation runes and rare runes were Greem’s greatest harvest from his trip to the Knight’s Plane. That was because these runes were the essence of the higher arcane knowledge of a small plane!
Greem gave an order, and a strange rune made of pure fire immediately surfaced in the depths of his mind. The rune slowly started spinning. When Greem cast his mental consciousness into the rune, a peculiar and obscure feeling would rise in his soul.
Back on Earth, in his previous life, any word constructed with symbols could only carry meaning with it. However, here in this fantastical high-magic world, words had energy and power. They became much more valuable. Apart from being able to convey information through complex symbols, the runes could also reveal hidden details about the world through the distribution and changes of energy within them.
For example, there was the fire rune currently floating in Greem’s mind. Even though he had only formed squiggly lines in the shape of the otherworldly rune, he had somehow touched upon the fire laws of the world. The lines that formed the rune were now glowing with a golden radiance and caused all who looked at it to feel a strange warmth.
This feeling came from within the soul! It wasn’t an external feeling.
When Greem looked at this rune, a warm feeling would naturally rise in his heart. It wasn’t a magical effect applied to him from the outside.
This mysterious power enchanted him. His mental consciousness couldn’t help but sink into the feeling, silently experiencing and trying to understand the fluctuation of the fire aura within the rune.
While he was trying his best to feel the rune with his soul, the Chip emitted a brilliant blue light. The light shone upon the variant fire rune, conducting a detailed and comprehensive analysis while it recorded every single change happening within.
Just then, the tower’s defensive arrays sent a warning to him through a unique frequency.
An outsider had broken into the stone tower!
