Chapter 377 Types of Runes
Leo's expression changed after hearing robot words, and then he turned around and glanced at Leno and others behind him; just as he wanted to say something, Lina hurriedly grabbed Leo's hand nervously.
"I don't want to separate from brother Leo," Lina suddenly spoke vigilantly, looking at the giant robot.
"Yes, brother, we want to stay with you."
Leno also spoke and walked forward, and other siblings were too young to understand the robot's words; it's just that they also walked forward and stood beside Leo, following Leno and Lina.
Leo glanced at his siblings, all wishing to stay with him. He sighed and nodded, replying while looking at the giant robot, "I want to take custody of my siblings."
The robot nodded, and then seven cards ejected out from the palm of his hand, and he passed them to Leo.
"Here, this is all of your identity cards, and follow me; I will show you your residence provided by the empire. Also, read this empire code and familiarize yourself with the rule."
Robot invited them and passed another thin booklet with empire code written above.
Leo nodded and took the cards and book, following the robot along with his siblings.
After a while, they appeared in the eighth residence section of the outer area. The robot brought them and stopped in front of a large thousand-square-meter cube. There are 888 words written above the cube.
"This is your residence home; the address is house no. 888, eighth residence section, outer area, capital city of runes, runic empire."
After speaking, the robot showed them the house from the inside and then turned around and left the house. It also reminded Leo about the grace period and support given to any new permanent resident, which is one year after that they will have to earn to live themselves. Empire will not support Leo; it will support his younger siblings, though.
Leo nodded and didn't care; he already planned to master the basic rune and admit to the rune academy. If he is a genius, then the empire will train him and extend his support until he becomes a full-fledged rune master.
After walking inside the house, Leo and his siblings were shocked by the interior of the residence; it's huge, even larger than a cave house in hollow mountains. Also, all kinds of facilities are available inside.
"Be careful when you live here; don't break anything in the house; everything looks very expensive," Leno reminded, looking at his brother and sister looking at the decoration pieces.
Lina and others nodded and started checking the whole house and multiple rooms, then they selected their room one by one. Leo also chose a main room on the lowest floor.
After settling his siblings, he returned to his room and started reading the empire code; there are only a few laws and rules; Leo memorized them easily and then walked outside the house.
"Amazing, this identity card works as a money holder; I can buy anything with points inside it. Empire is really amazing."
Leo muttered; his eyes flickered with brilliance, and then he glanced in the direction of stores and markets.
After strolling through the market, he stopped beside a shop filled with books, and then he pointed at the book of elemental runes, which contained a few basic runes, and spoke to the middle-aged giant shopkeeper.
"Uncle, I want that book of elemental runes,"
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile and replied while passing him the elemental rune book, "Little boy, you also want to apply to the rune academy, but runes are really hard to learn."
Leo nodded and replied firmly, "Thank you, although it's hard to learn, but I will do my best."
The shopkeeper nodded and praised, "Good spirit, I hope you are successful."
Leo nodded and then waved his hand politely, turned around, and walked away; then he bought meat and other food for his siblings and then returned to his house.
After passing the food items to Lina, he instructed her to prepare them and then walked inside his room hurriedly.
After sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, he opened the elemental rune book, looking at the introduction on the first page.
The basic runes are divided into a few types: elemental runes based on the elements, special runes based on physical and spiritual aspects, and rare runes based on materials. Finally, the unique runes are based on energy. All these runes combined are three thousand basic runes. The elemental runes are the easiest to master at an early stage, and unique runes are the hardest to master.
"Elemental runes, special runes, rare runes, and unique runes—I didn't expect the three thousand runes to be divided into such types of runes. Probably the book I got was old because it only had a few sub-water element runes," Leo muttered; his eyes brightened, and then he opened the next page.
A large flame icon appeared in front of him; it was made from countless rune lines. Instantly, Leo's eyes brightened as if watching a live flickering flame.
Then he turned the page; another element appeared. Leo felt an extremely familiar feeling from the rune; it was a rune in the shape of a drop of water.
Then he turned the page around after observing; it was a coin-shaped gold metal rune.
The fourth one is a sphere-shaped earth rune, and finally the fifth page contains a large jade green tree, which is a wood element basic rune.
Leo speechlessly glanced at the end of the book after the last fifth element and then muttered with a dissatisfied expression,
"That old guy deceived me. It's not a complete elemental rune book; there are only five elements here. Anyway, these five elements are also good at the beginning."
Leo then shook his head and removed the dissatisfaction from his heart, and then he started observing and memorizing them in his heart.
The memorizing of runes is the first stage for a rune master; if you can't memorize runes and their whole structure, then you can't master the runes.
A lot of giants fail at this stage because memorizing runes is not as simple as memorizing some random pictures; even memorizing a single rune requires strong spiritual strength because the runes lines affect and pressurize the soul. This is also one of the reasons giants begin with elemental runes because they are natural and simple to memorize.
"Let's start with water runes; I will try memorizing it in a week," Leo muttered and then started observing the lines of water element runes and structuring its shape in his mind with rune lines and details as given in the picture.
Leo started memorizing the runes and strived to complete his goals according to plans.
…
On the other side, the main runic building is located in the middle of the city of runes.
A blood cocoon lies in a huge hall; it is flickering with countless runes. If Leo sees the runes above the blood cocoon, he will fall into a daze for days because of the load of information. It will benefit him, though.
Crackling!!!
Suddenly a crackling noise spread through the hall; visible cracks spread from the base of the cocoon and covered the whole cocoon.
Bang!!!
Suddenly the cocoon burst open and it scattered around, revealing a one-year-old giant inside; he is Lin Lee, who just completed the cycle; he is the only one in the whole empire with such a peculiar way.
"I have completed the eight cycles and successfully broke through the ninth one; finally my power reached the level of ninety-seven grade giant. Such power can now let me travel through space easily; also, I can now engrave another rune on my body."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully; his eyes lit up, and his whole body flashed with countless rune marks with different fluctuations. He found a way to engrave runes on his body and give himself the power of runes.
After successfully engraving the first rune on his body, he then reached the limit after engraving a total of seven elemental runes one after each other. Lin Lee found out the runes engraved on his body depend on the cycle.
Each cycle will bring him another quota; after breaking through the eighth cycle, he confirmed his assumption by engraving the eighth elemental rune on his body.
Lin Lee then stood up, raised his hand, and instantly red runes flashed on his arms, and a flaming red ball condensed, floating above his palm, and then a blue rune flashed, covering the red runes. The flaming red ball transformed into a heavy, rotating, water-blue ball.
At the same time, two female giants appeared in the hall, both six meters tall, becoming more beautiful with big eyes, a charming face, and a perfect tall ratio figure.
They are Lulu and Azzura; after practicing for the third cycle, their figure and appearance moved toward perfection. Both of them are now extremely beautiful and charming, even revered as twin queens of the empire.
"Brother, congratulations, you reached the ninth cycle." Lulu hurriedly congratulated him; Azzura also nodded with a smile and congratulated him.
Lin Lee nodded, looking at both of them, and then replied, "Thank you."
