Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 323: Ruby: Thank You

"Huh?"

Ruby looked at the small scroll that Riya handed over to her in confusion.

When Riya made these space storage scrolls, she was also using the A5 paper, so when she roll them, it was still quite small.

"Inject mana to use it."

Ruby arched her eyebrows and then did as she was told. When she sensed the magic beast inside, her eyes widened.

She could tell that this was the same species as the one they were researching right now.

But… how?

It was a rank 3 magic beast.

Did Riya kill this magic beast?

At this moment, Ruby felt that Riya is really strong…

"Thank you," Ruby whispered and then tucked the paper scroll away. The two of them were a bit away from the others and Mr. Zan was already giving instruction to other soldiers and researchers so that they would not repeat this dispute.

If they wanted to rearrange their agreement and needed to go out for a while, they should tell him.

In this way, no one paid attention to the two of them.

"It's nothing." Riya smiled faintly.

A rank 3 magic beast's corpse wasn't that valuable for Riya.

She has a lot of them in her world.

Moreover, what Riya needed the most was their blood and the magic core. Some species could have their bones or skin taken for other things, but most of these magic beasts' other parts couldn't really be used for anything else.

It was also because of this that Riya didn't care too much even if she handed Ruby one of them.

Besides, she was curious what kind of research that Ruby was doing.

If it could benefit others, it would be good.

"Remember to share if you find something interesting and not bound by confidentiality contact," Riya said with a grin.

Ruby nodded with a bright smile. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to give lecture to you."

"No, not lecture!"

Thinking about the time when Ruby shared the news about what happened in her laboratories along with the concept behind it… Riya felt painful in her heart. Because she knew very well that she understood less than 30% of it.

But Ruby kept on going on and on….

All of them already felt like waving the white flag.

Ruby laughed when she saw Riya's appearance and then started to think about what experiment should she do next.

Seeing that Ruby was immersed in her own world again, Riya shook her head and silently slipped away. She hoped that Ruby would only share the summary because if it was a complete lecture, she didn't want to listen!

She went to her own room and waited until it was dinner time before slipping out.

Samuel was busy talking with Mr. Zan, so no one paid attention to Riya.

"How's the adaptation to the environment here?" Samuel asked to Mr. Zan after dinner time. It was impossible for these researchers to stay near this crack and would slowly explore deeper.

But for the time being, they had to set up some kind of place to guard this place.

Reason?

Just so that if something unexpected happened, there would be some methods to slow down these magic beasts.

"Their adaption is very good." Mr. Zan nodded in satisfaction and said, "I have to say that the mana concentration in this crack is much better than the surface and the people here have adapted well."

Most of the researcher were ordinary people.

They might have some chance to train and become magician or magic warrior. But most of them were already past the prime age for practicing and would rather do their research. Only some of their assistant was practicing to a certain degree.

They could protect themselves, but it was unknown how useful it would be.

After all, they had never truly fought against magic beasts and they had to be protected because of their position.

"It's good." Samuel nodded.

He didn't know whether the atmosphere in the crack would have adverse effect on human's body, especially those who didn't become magic warriors or those other profession. But it seemed that he was thinking too much.

Ordinary people could still live in the environment where the mana increased.

As for the so called adaptation…

It didn't seem to be necessary.

"Have they found anything interesting?"

"Aside from the conflict about the special shadow creature that's rank 3, the other are studying the minerals. They said that there are some other particles found on the rocks but the amount is too little to figure out what they're specifically. They only managed to find some characteristic," Mr. Zan replied.

Particles on the rock?

Samuel looked at the rock around him and then fell into silence.

He couldn't see any difference from other rocks, but he also knew that there were indeed some particles mixed in.

Because these rocks seemed to emit dim light yet not at the same time.

It was a strange and yet intriguing phenomenon.

"Forget it, I don't understand that much."

"Haha." Mr. Zan laughed and then waved his hand. "I have to go back and made arrangement for tomorrow."

"Yes."

Samuel walked towards their tents and swept around the area once. But then he paused and looked at Riya's tent.

Even though Riya's presence was usually quite faint, Samuel knew that she was there so he would not disturb her.

But this time…

He didn't seem to see anyone.

'Did she roam around the crack once again?'

Thinking about what Riya had done before, Samuel felt that it was possible. After all, Riya's strength could guarantee she could protect herself even if she were to explore the crack.

But…

'Didn't I tell her that I want to follow?'

Black lines formed on Samuel's forehead.

He sighed deeply and then quickly rushed in one direction.

Samuel had no idea where Riya is, but he could try to search for her… there might be some traces that she left along the way.
