Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 138: Runes

Even when he was bleeding, Veer had collected all the Dark Metal Slates as he thought they could be of any use. It was just a guess on his part but it seemed he was right.

He quickly took out the rectangular metal slate on which a single Rune in the shape of reverse G, cutting with a snake like pattern. It was a little weird to see but that was an ancient language.

Putting it on the table, he looked at it. There was nothing extraordinary and even the Rune looked so ordinary. Anyone without any knowledge of Runes would consider it as a normal pattern.

"Huh!? This looks familiar."

Aurora muttered, as she snatched the slate. Frowning, she looked at it for a while as she rummaged through her memories. Even though she couldn’t be considered a Runemaster yet, she had completed the basics of the Rune Mastery.

"Ah! Yes, it’s that one," Aurora’s eyes suddenly lit up, as she took out a thick book and began to look through it. After flipping a few pages, she stopped and smiled.

"I knew it. It’s the Rune of Pushing and pulling."

Veer tilted his head slightly and asked, "Elaborate please?"

"Most Runes have a single function, but some have different ones through a single one," Aurora explained as she showed the slate to him. "This one has two functions or rather representation. One is the concept of push and [the] other Pull."

Veer nodded and said, "Understood! Anything else?"

"Sadly, no," Aurora said. "The Runes can be simple and complex, but their functions never change. So, all we can say is that this Dark Slate was probably a part of a Rune Formation which had some function of pushing and pulling."

She shrugged, remembering something, "It doesn’t matter that much though. Some Runes are too common so they’re used everywhere. Like this one is used in most High Tier Rune Formation, that’s why I remember it."

"I see," Veer wasn’t surprised on that as High Tier Rune Formation could even create a world of its own in a way. So, normal laws were necessary and these Runes helped in that.

"It’s one of those fifty Dark Metal Slates," Veer said. "Do you want all of them?"

With eyes glistening at the mention of Runes, Aurora grinned, "I’ll be grateful for that. By your description, it seems to be an Ancient Rune Formation so I’ll be able to learn of those Runes."

After transferring all of the Rune Slates to her, Veer said, "That doesn’t solve much. We’ll need to wait till she finds the information on every Rune. Maybe, then we can get some answers to get to the Central Island."

"Boss, are you forgetting something?" Rock asked. "We need to get out of here to do anything outside."

The room turned silent, as Veer resisted the urge to facepalm. He really had forgotten about it and was thinking about major things. But if he didn’t even get out of this underground civilization, how would he solve anything?

Of course, he didn’t want to look bad before his subordinate so he just smiled and said, "I haven’t forgotten but we need some plans for outside too. Also, we’ll need to talk to the Chief first."

As if listening to his words, a tall Aethrym entered the room and said, "Chief has called you." Experience tales at novelbuddy

"I thought so," Veer muttered before nodding at the young Aethrym. "Thanks for informing."

The Aethrym nodded and left.

"I wonder how many of them are alive," Veer muttered, fascinated with the new race he found. "Are there hospitals? Also, do they lay eggs or give..."

"Let’s go before he turns into a professor," Elara rolled her eyes and said as she stood up from her seat.

"You can go without me. I won’t understand them anyway so I might as well start my research on the Runes," Aurora said.

Then, without waiting for any replies, she ran off to [the] bed room. She was too excited to research on the Ancient Runes that she even forgot about her food.

"That’s some crazy behaviour," Elara said. "Is she that passionate about Runes?"

"She is," Veer also stood up and turned towards Rock. "What about you?"

"I’ll just go do the mining. I don’t like eating for free," Rock said, as he finished his fifth plate.

Veer didn’t mind it as like Aurora, he wouldn’t understand their conversation. So, he just went to the Chief along with Elara who had a wide smile plastered on her face.

Though, she glared at a few Aethrym women who had rather bigger assets. Veer could only chuckle at that and change the subject.

"Do you know anything about Lily?"

"Nope. But she is safe and passed the Trial." Elara shook her head. "That’s all that woman said. Beside, she’s the last one we should worry about."

"I’m worried about her because of that Corrupted Dragon," Veer sighed.

Elara frowned, as she remembered something Liliana told them. The Corrupted Dragon would kill them if it sensed them because of their bloodline, especially Liliana who held a Noble Dragon Bloodline.

There were indeed chances of that Dragon attacking Liliana if it sensed her. Still, she wanted to console herself and Veer so she said, "Iron woman said the Dragon is busy taking the power of that being so maybe it won’t attack?"

"Let’s hope so," Veer said, relieved to hear that. "Oh yeah, why did she seem so unsettled because of your Aspect? I mean, she only called you there, didn’t she?"

"Kidnapped. She kidnapped me," Elara corrected him and said. "I honestly don’t know but she said it would be dangerous if she let someone with my Aspect out. So, maybe there is something in the Labyrinth related to my Aspect."

Veer nodded. He had a few guesses but couldn’t make a true conclusion. Elara’s Aspect was dangerous to say the least, as it could burn anything. Literally.

But she herself was very weak to actually harness the true power of her Aspect. Not to mention there was also Liliana whose Aspect was equally terrifying.

’I wonder what happened to her. Where are you, dear?’
