Chapter 38 The History of Runes

"Well, of course it's real. Tell me, where did you find this branch?"

"Uh~, let me think about it."

The little girl frowned and began to think hard. She often picked up some things to play with, and there were too many things, so she didn't have any special impression of this branch, and her eyebrows on both sides were almost squeezed together.

"Okay, then you take your time to think about it."

Liang Zifeng knew that he would not get the answer in a short time, so he began to mix the remaining branches into the molten iron little by little, until the quality of the molten iron reached a limit, and if he added more branches, the quality would begin to decline.

Seeing that there was still a large part of the branch left, Liang Zifeng put it away as it would be useful later.

Then he looked at the molten iron again, and used his mental power to search it over and over again, trying his best to remove the impurities that could not be melted.

The original machete weighed more than 60 kilograms, but after smelting, it only weighed more than 40 kilograms, which made Liang Zifeng a little confused.

He was sure that the impurities he had removed weighed less than 5 kilograms, so how did the remaining ten kilograms of matter disappear? He felt that there might be some secret in it.

After the molten iron was processed, Liang Zifeng began to use his mental power to pull the molten iron, making it into the shape of a Tang sword. Then he used his mental power to control the source energy of heaven and earth and engraved a rune he had recently studied on the blade. Even if the rune was useless, it could ensure its beauty.

Ever since he got the "Basic Rune Collection", Liang Zifeng would study it regularly. Unfortunately, it only collected some simple rune drawing methods and did not explain why they were drawn in that way or what the principles were.

However, Liang Zifeng learned the origin of the rune from it, but he didn't know whether it was true. Legend has it that in the ancient tribal period, wizards were the smartest people in the tribe. They were good at observing the natural world and all things, and were also good at summarizing experience.

In ancient times, there were some things with incredible functions. Wizards discovered that these things with magical powers had some magical patterns on their bodies, so some wizards began to imitate them, and some of them actually succeeded.

So runes appeared in ancient times, but with the passage of time, those things with magical powers were destroyed, leaving only the way of runes, which was even lost for a time and almost disappeared in the long river of history.

In fact, the secret book "Basic Rune Collection" was also brought by the White Dragon Cult. It was the stepping stone for the White Dragon Cult to enter the Daxing area, so all the super powers were given a copy by the White Dragon Cult.

After everything is ready, pour a pot of water from the kettle and use mental power to control it to form a water ball, and then circulate the cold attribute true qi to inject it into the water ball.

When the water ball was about to freeze, Liang Zifeng controlled the water ball to instantly wrap around the Tang sword, and the cold-attributed true energy was still being injected. After a while, the blade of the Tang sword turned a charming light blue. Liang Zifeng knew that the quenching was completed.

Then he wrapped the handle with animal skin strips, and the Tang sword was completed. He would just make a scabbard later.

He handed the Tang sword to the third brother and asked him to try the effect of the sword.

The third brother happily took over this beautiful Tang sword, held it in his hands, his eyes full of little stars of love, and looked like he couldn't let it go.

"Inject your internal energy to see if it works." Liang Zifeng smiled helplessly when he saw the obsessed look on the third brother's face, and then reminded him to give it a try.

"Ah, okay."

The third brother injected his internal force into the Tang sword, and then found that the Tang sword in his hand seemed to have become much lighter. He then began to practice a set of sword techniques, feeling a refreshing feeling. He felt that the Tang sword seemed to have become a part of his body, and he could even feel the friction between the blade and the air.

"Try to emit a blade of energy and see." Liang Zifeng nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded again.

"Yeah." The third brother nodded after hearing this.

For a mid-level warrior to emit sword energy, certain skills are needed. The internal force needs to be injected into the sword in a certain way, and then one must try to achieve unity of mind and spirit with the sword in hand, so that it is possible to emit sword energy.

The third brother felt that the Tang sword in his hand had become one with himself. This saved him the step of uniting his mind and body, and he only needed to control the way of injecting internal force.

When the sword energy was released, the third brother felt something different again. Compared with the Tang sword he had used before, the internal force consumed by the sword energy was nearly half less. This made the third brother widen his eyes and look at the Tang sword in his hand in disbelief.

"Try injecting your internal energy directly and then emitting sword energy without considering the method of injection." Liang Zifeng thought for a while and said again.

"Ah? Is this okay?" the third brother asked worriedly.

"I don't know. Why don't you try it and then you'll know?"

"it is good."

Then, the third brother followed Liang Zifeng's idea and directly injected internal force into the Tang sword in his hand. He swung the sword with the mentality of emitting sword energy, and then a sword energy similar to the previous one suddenly shot out.

"This……"

The third brother looked at the direction where the sword energy came from with a look of shock, unable to speak for a long time. He knew what this meant. When two masters fight, a single step of speed can determine life or death.

Liang Zifeng nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. He had been watching the whole process with his mental power, so he naturally knew the role of the rune. The rune seemed to strengthen the connection between the weapon and the holder, but it should have other effects as well, which had not been observed yet.

He put aside his thoughts on the rune and turned to carefully investigate the situation of the branch. He wanted to remember the various properties of the branch so that he would not drop it if he encountered it in the future.

After becoming familiar with the situation of the branch, Liang Zifeng began to radiate his mental power, wanting to see if there were any other trees of this kind around.

He didn't expect the little girl to remember it. Her attention was now as focused as the fourth brother's. She had run to the third brother and probably forgot the task Liang Zifeng had assigned to her.

The mental power exploration was still very quick, but unfortunately the result made Liang Zifeng a little disappointed. He really didn't know where the little girl found this branch.

"Second brother." At this time, the fourth brother suddenly ran to Liang Zifeng, and Liang Zifeng, with a flattering face, said in a coquettish tone, "I want it too."

"You are everywhere, and I can't do without you. Wait for me to recover."

"Yeah, second brother, you are the best." The fourth brother hugged Liang Zifeng and said loudly and happily.

In the following time, Liang Zifeng refined another Tang sword for the fourth brother, and used up more than half of the branches. Liang Zifeng melted the last bit of branches into molten iron, and then refined a large number of fine needles that were thinner than a hair and only two centimeters long.
