Omega Summoner
1177 The Aloof Ronin I
Adrian did not see wrong when he saw that the ronin sliced off the head of the Crimson Asura Gorilla in one swing of his sword. The sword style made him remember the style of swordplay that the ranked one warrior player named Blade used.
Although Vayu also uses a swift sword style, the one that Blade uses is more on the quick and lethal. Vayu uses a sword style that is quick yet elegant when seen as if he is dancing with the blade. The two different sword styles might be attributed to the teacher that Blade got when he entered the game despite Vayu being his real-world sword instructor.
Adrian did not question the ronin as he does not seem to question his abilities. He did feel that there are a pair of eyes looking at him when they resumed travel. The ronin must have seen the unique way that Adrian is using talismans unlike the Charm Masters.
Even Xiaohei and Xiaoyan wanted to question Adrian on how he uses talismans as it is different from the way the eastern continent uses it. For Charm Masters in the eastern continent, they use charms or talismans as a conduit of magic power which is why these charms or talismans do not immediately get used up.
Just like what Xiaoyan did when she erected a barrier, the charm that she used became a physical representation of the barrier. Adrian, on the other hand, consumed the talisman immediately and the spell is released. Both usages are great but the one used by Charm Masters have a flaw.
For Charm masters, the charms must be present in the area while they use their spells. It also means that they will not be able to make the charms work unless they are present in the battle. Unlike Adrian's talismans that can be used just by inserting mana, the charms in the eastern continent can only be used by the Charm Masters that created them.
Only the Charm Masters are able to use them because each of them has different ways of creating charms and techniques. This is also a reason why there are schools that teach ways on using charms or talismans. It is also the way for a mage to advance to the job class of Charm Master.
"If I may request something to you great benefactor...can I see one of your charms?" Xiaoyan asked.
"Sister! You know that it is rude to ask for a charm from another user. You are basically saying that they need to spill their secrets or lifework." Xiaohei stated but even he is curious. He was only able to resist the urge of asking since he knows of the ethics.
"I do not mind if you look at it." Adrian stated and even the aloof ronin suddenly had his ears perk up.
Adrian handed the talisman to Xiaoyan, but it was only a rare tier talisman as he does not want to show a higher tier one. Xiaoyan became exited that she will be able to see a talisman that is crafted by the clan's greatest benefactor. She could probably brag this to other Charm Masters.
Although Xiaoyan had an excited attitude receiving the talisman, her expression soon withered to that of confusion. She cannot understand the words written on the talisman as it is not the language used by the eastern continent called Tirscans. The very least that she could do is notice the talisman having only one word written on it.
"It seems that I am actually too uneducated to see the magnificence of your talisman." Xiaoyan stated as she returned the talisman back to Adrian.
"If you are wondering what is written there then it is an ancient runic word. The symbol there represents fire. Should you pour mana into the talisman then it would produce a small flame." Adrian stated which shocked Xiaoyan and Xiaohei. Even the aloof ronin that was just eavesdropping in their conversation suddenly stood up from lying on the carriage.
Xiaoyan could not believe what Adrian said easily as she only knew one way of activating charms in her life. She has yet to see another charm or talisman created by another Charm Master be activated by another. Even the charms that her brother uses cannot be used by her as he has his own style of writing and enlightenment.
"If you are doubting my words then you can try to pour mana into it like I told you. That talisman is only of low tier, and I have many of them." Adrian stated.
Xiaoyan gulped as she poured mana into the talisman as Adrian, Xiaohei and the ronin watched the process. A small amount of mana is poured onto the talisman and a one-foot-tall flame materialized. Since the flame has no designated target, it only burned on the spot it was created. Xiaohei, Xiaoyan and the ronin stood in amazement as they actually saw a small flame materialize like Adrian said.
"The fact that you have created a great innovation such as this means that you have transcended the ways of a Charm Master. Is the great benefactor perhaps an Array Master?" Xiaoyan asked as the job advancement for the Charm Master is the Array Master.
"I am not a Charm Master to begin with. I am a different kind of being that mainly records every mystery in the world. The people back then called us the Wise Ones or the Bookkeepers. I am a Scribe." Adrian stated as Aernas always told him to spread the word of Scribes still existing in this day and age.
When Xiaohei and Xiaoyan heard the word Scribe, they did not react as much but the ronin shuddered upon learning of this revelation. His passive observation of Adrian suddenly turned into that of great interest. He also seemed to want to ask Adrian a question, but he is not that social to just suddenly come up to him and ask. Adrian noticed this but kept quiet as the ronin would come to him urgently if it was really important.
