Chapter 174 Spiritual Enchantment



Noel wasted no time to go to the inn and informed his arrival. Knowing the siblings, they must have given some instruction to the innkeeper, so when he told him about the siblings, the innkeeper immediately informed the siblings.

Finally, he reunited with the siblings once again.

"Ah, Iadre." Rick smiled and nodded. After what happened in Roel's house, Rick didn't mind about the honorific anymore. Noel had even told him that he was younger than them.

"Rick, Rica. I'm sorry for making you wait for so long." Noel felt bad for making them wait for days. He thought they would come a bit later, but it turned out to be the other way around.

"We were simply too eager to meet you again. You did nothing wrong." Rick chuckled, assuring him it wasn't his fault.

"We want to thank you for mending the relationship with our father. We have misunderstood each other for so long, so we're grateful to you. Who knows how long it will continue without you helping us." Rica politely lowered her head to thank him.

"Please don't mind about it. I was just being a busy body at that time." Noel waved his hand, telling them to pay no mind.

"That's right. I'm sure that you're waiting for this." Rick tried to change the topic since it would be an endless thanks and apologies if they continued. He placed the wooden armor on the table.

Since it was only a wooden armor, no one would bother to look at this armor, considering wooden armor was useless. They were stiff and weak against a sharp object. Hence, they thought the people who wanted it were foolish.

However, Noel had a different opinion. The wood from the Ancient Demon Tree was durable and flexible. Coupled with a skilled blacksmith and the Spiritual Energy imbued to the armor, it was a superior armor compared to most armor out there.

"So, this is…" Noel looked at the armor excitedly. The armor itself wasn't as big as he imagined. In fact, the contour perfectly matched his body.

The armor would be protecting his body only, not his arms or his legs. But if he trusted that armor and put it underneath his body, it wouldn't look like he was wearing an armor. He could take advantage of it, making the enemy attack his body, which would be blocked by that armor. In that instant, he attacked them back.

"This armor is matching your body line. My father knows that your body hasn't properly grown. I am not very sure, but it seems that you're barely an adult. The age to reach an adulthood is 14 years old, so you are like 15 or 16 years old.

"Hence, my father knows to make the armor as flexible as possible. So, you can use this armor for a long time because it can slightly expand to match your body's line.

"Due to that, we have to properly adjust it for you. Well, you can do that by yourself, but do you mind if we're the one doing it?"

Noel listened to their explanation. Roel seemed to have put a lot of thought into this armor. After some considerations, Noel accepted Rick's offer. "Sure. I don't really mind, considering it's better for the blacksmith's son to put the last adjustment instead of a rookie like me."

"That's great." Rick smiled. "How about coming to my room? The tools are there."

"Sure." Noel nodded in agreement.

Without hesitation, they immediately headed to Rick's room to pick up the tools as Noel carried the armor. It wasn't as heavy as he imagined. Although this additional weight would make him slow down a bit, it wouldn't hinder his fighting ability too much. And if he managed to get used to this armor, it would become a life saving armor.

However, he also noticed a few symbols on the armor.

"Hmm? This is…" Noel narrowed his eyes when he spotted these symbols.

"Ah, those are the things we use to improve the armor. We call it Spirit Enchantment. Basically, those few symbols can direct your Spiritual Energy. There are three symbols embedded into your armor.

"The first is hardening. As the name implies, it'll be a great boost to your defensive power. The second one is impact deflector, which will redirect a portion of the impact off your body. The third one is flexibility so that it can match your body. Unfortunately, my father can't put more because it'll ruin the armor itself.

"Considering the armor's material is extraordinary, it's already abnormal to get three Spiritual Enchantment. Normal weapon can't even get one.

"And only those veteran blacksmiths in our place can even put a Spirit Enchantment in an item. People call it Spirit Weapon or Armor."

"Mhm." Noel nodded after listening to him. But his doubt still remained in his heart. After all, this Spiritual Enchantment was actually something he had seen before. He muttered inwardly, 'This is rune, right? Although the rune is incomplete, it's still the same symbol as the rune I have in my mind.

'Does that mean the people already know the existence of the runes? Then, the only one who can popularize it is none other than my ancestor. The rune itself comes from Ardagan, so…'

Noel asked, "May I know how do you know about these symbols? If it's a secret, then it's fine."

"No, it's not that much of a secret. Spirit Enchantment has been popularized since one hundred years ago after someone found a notebook containing the symbols. Due to the bad condition of that book, we can only do this much." Rick explained calmly since it wasn't his father that invented the rune anyway.

"And where is that notebook?"

"The original record has been stored in the Greenwood Kingdom's Royal Library. However, some copies have been made and spread because it's an effective weapon that can fight the demons."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"I see…" Noel nodded. He was slightly disappointed since he wouldn't be able to see this book because Greenwood Kingdom was a neighboring kingdom. However, he had some clues that considered the Spiritual Enchantment as one of Rune's applications.

'Now that I think about it, Rune Mastery is teaching me all sorts of runes. I think the first five levels are all about knowledge. Level 6 to level 10 will be all those applications. It seems I have to take my time to level up the Rune Mastery.'
