Return of the Legendary Runesmith-Chapter 100 - 99- Welcome to the group chat(2)

[Current Users Online: 4]

[Caution: Disclosure of personal information or details regarding the host’s world is strictly prohibited. Any such content will be automatically censored.]

The familiar message from the system flashed before his eyes, making Adrian frown.

Why is it so hell-bent on hiding him from the others?

Regardless, he just wanted to explore the group chat. That’s why he didn’t argue with the System and told it to just open the Pandora box.

Dark Knight: [Hmm? Is that you, XXXX?]

He read the message and another censored word, making him sigh.

Forgelet: [Ah, you are back. I started to fear you might run away with the debt.]

Reading those words stated by the familiar name, Adrian hurriedly spoke, "Ah, I didn’t mean to. The fact is ...that time I got a special offer." He relayed truthfully.

Raven: [Hmm~since when my husband became so polite?]

The message in purple shade flew to him, startling Adrian.

Husband? Him?

’The hell with the situation?’

Dark Knight: [Forge, he doesn’t remember anything?]

Adrian blinked at the message. Confused.

Forgelet: [It took me a day to realize that, and you discerned it within seconds? Damn, son.]

Dark Knight: [Can your small body even produce a child?]

Forgelet: [Hey!]

Adrian was continuously tilting his head in confusion. It seems they are well acquainted.

Raven: [Oh my, oh my~does my husband no longer retain the sweet memories he and I share?]

"Shouldn’t you be worried...?" Adrian instinctively asked.

Raven: [Fufu~I am very much distressed~ah.]

Before Adrian could have grown more confused, someone stepped in,

Forgelet: [Don’t get influenced by the vixen, XXXX. You have no history with her that’s why she is lying to trap you.]

Raven: [Oh my~such serious allegations. Thanks for the compliment though~I really like that title of vixen~]

Adrian was scratching his head now in slight frustration. He didn’t expect this chat to be like this.

He was about to ask if they could help him in some way, when suddenly,

Dark Knight: [I know your memories have yet to return, but I’m in urgent need of your armaments. The situation here is deteriorating fast. Will you enchant my weapon?]

[Alert: Member <Dark Knight> has requested a Grade-one enchantment. The host can ask for anything which the other party agrees to, as a barter.]

Adrian was taken aback by the sudden request.

He read the notification again before asking, "Just grade one? Will that be enough?"

The person gave the vibe of being a veteran warrior, so the request for a first grade indeed was surprising.

Dark Knight: [There is no Runesmith in my world. Despite having the ability I have been fighting with weapons without any enchantments. Also, since you haven’t awakened your memories, I strongly believe you can comfortably tune a first grade.]

"..." Is this some kind of challenge? No, the person seemed serious.

But, well, Adrian didn’t want to tell him that he could actually tune a third grade since it would appear as if he was boasting.

"Um...about the payment. I really don’t know what you can provide me.."

Dark Knight: [I have a very good supply of minerals and ores. So maybe material for weapons and armor?]

"..!" Adrian suddenly remembered that Ariana wanted to go and buy armor, so he readily stated, "Any good material for armor. But give it to me only after checking the quality of the armament."

He could sense that the person they knew must have been a good Runesmith. That’s why, Adrian first wanted to let the Dark Knight see his work and then decide the best price.

Dark Knight: [If you insist. Should I tell you my elemental attribute?]

Adrian’s excitement dropped, "Nothing works good when you tell a Runesmith rather than showing them."

He didn’t know why he spoke rudely but the idea of hearing the attribute and making an armament bothered him, as if an itch where the hand can’t reach.

Adrian takes pride in the armaments he tunes, and because the other party is ’telling’ him about the attribute he might fail to give a perfect product. Whose reputation would be tainted?

Raven: [That’s so much like my husband~so manly.]

Forgelet: [You sure haven’t recovered your memories yet, right?]

Adrian blinked in surprise...what are they talking about again?

Dark Knight: [I apologize for testing you. It seems I was wrong to think that you are one of the usual runesmiths and not XXXX. ]

As those words faded, the usual system screen appeared before him,

[The body of the <Dark Knight> member is reflected inside the training doll. Take a look and assess it.]

Adrian was surprised as he said, ’Oh, okay.’ He instantly dove into the Time Chamber and sat down before the training doll.

There was a mace resting before the training doll as well, which surely belonged to the Dark Knight.

He had a lot of questions to ask from the members of the group and the system regarding the worlds they belonged to and the functions of the group chat.

But he was rather focused on the work at hand. He was excited to see how strong the otherworldly beings were.

He rubbed his hand, took out his runic pencil, which he keeps here, and finally drew the insignia behind the doll.

"Woah..." He was shocked. The person is dually awakened.

And not just simple two-element, but two divergent affinities.

The first one was Sand—a divergent of Earth elements.

The second was Magma—a divergent of the Flame element.

Both of them were strongly compatible and insanely strong.

Magma is self-explanatory—the person can create molten constructs and must be an expert in explosions. The sand element allows the person to create traps, walls, and many other things.

Both of them are quite strong and allow a person to handle both; offense and defense.

Dark Knight: [Can you do it?]

Adrian grinned, "With pleasure."

He started writing the runes instantly, using the Confluence dialect which was made for the divergent elements

This was the first time he was making a dual divergent armament, but since it was just writing a few letters, then it was nothing.

’It would be fun to write the second Thread for the person...’ usually, a person with divergent affinity has a high amount of mana so definitely the Dark Knight must have several mana pores.

A person with dual awakened having a second or better third-grade armament is stronger than an army.

"It’s done." He said soon after and the mace slowly vanished.

Adrian was slightly nervous because this was the first time for him to provide his services to someone not from this world.

Those few seconds were like hours. Adrian read the chat and found others had turned silent too.

And after a whole minute, the Dark Knight gave the verdict,

Dark Knight: [You might not have the memories...but your skills...it still leaves me speechless.]

Dark Knight: [I will provide you with a material that could be used to make armor or weapons.]

Suddenly, several rock fragments appeared before him and the system screen showed,

[Material: Solmyr Alloy

Rarity: Extremely Rare

Type: Crafting Material

Usable For: Armors, Blades, Advanced Constructs]

[Properties:

Aether Resilience– Fused with magic, the armor made from the alloy would allow the user to defend against high-tier magic spells without losing molecular integrity. Intense heat or cold doesn’t affect the armor.

Luminous Memory– Solmyr Alloy retains the last elemental property it was exposed to under extreme conditions. If the user is struck by fire, lightning, or ice magic, the alloy will temporarily adopt that element, causing weapons to deal bonus elemental damage or armor to resist that element for the next 60 seconds.]

Adrian’s mouth parted in shock.

Isn’t this like a totally unfair barter?
