Chapter 244
Chapter 244 Full Harvest
Runeforge Camp; drafting room.
The two bronze doors were wide open and the bodies of two witcher-knights were spread before them.
Heat still emanated from where the lock had been as red-white iron liquid slowly dripped down.
This was an old storeroom. Disorganized piles of parchment sat on the stone platform in the middle. Some of them were spread wide open, others not so much. There were even emptied ink bottles and used quill pens scattered across the platform.
Several ancient wooden stands along the stone walls took up the rest of the drafting room. Many wooden chests, parchments, and gray sacks were stacked on them.
When Flower hesitatingly walked into the room, Greem had already begun to inspect the items on the stands. It was clear that Greem had an oddly sharp eye for item identification. He was able to figure out the value of any object in a matter of seconds.
The common or worthless objects were put back onto the stands while the expensive and valuable items vanished in the blink of an eye.
The enemy was breaking through the collapsed tunnel at the entrance!
Greem instantly understood the source of the commotion.
It was time to retreat!
The better his harvest here, the more cautious Greem became. Moreover, the main attraction– the drafts of the runic equipment, the rare rune illustrations, the explanation of runic energies, and the guide to utilizing runic energies were all in his possession now. The remaining items scattered about were no longer as important.
Greem gave Flower a heads-up and quickly walked out of the drafting room. When he reached the central hall once again, the loud booming sounds in the distance had gotten a lot closer.
Just then, the guy called Cobalt showed up, already transformed into a muscular and massive three-meter-tall barbaric giant. All of the items that he was lugging behind his shoulders, holding in his hands, and carrying around his waist were gleaming runic equipment. Greem even saw three complete sets of Second Grade radiant knight armor among them. Most of the other items were also standard First Grade spellbreaker knight gear.
Greem was excited to see this equipment. He casually threw an adepts’ waist storage pack at Cobalt. Following the adept’s principle of fair trade and exceptionally good oratorical skills, Greem easily managed to exchange a set of Second Grade radiant knight armor and runic weapons with Cobalt.
Adept Cobalt was naturally happy to accept such an unexpectedly good trade!
Soon the three gathered together and quickly hurried to the back of the camp with all of their spoils.
Just as they reached the cave behind the mountains, the entrance of the camp was finally broken through by three radiant knights.
The impact of their ferocious strength sent crumbling rocks flying everywhere, smashing craters all over the stone passage. A tall and radiant silhouette walked out of the dust and debris, intimidatingly assessing everything before his eyes.
Rocks were still falling hazardously behind him in the narrow passage.
One after another, lithe forms moved through the passage and quickly ran towards every location in Runeforge Camp.
“Find those damned invaders! I want to slice them into a thousand pieces… ” The radiant knight’s angered shout rang throughout the camp.
Greem felt the massive commotion echoing through the underground tunnel. He grabbed the shoulders of his two ‘companions’ and the three disappeared in a massive fire pillar.
