Get Runes – 1

There is a saying that you don’t know where a person is, but you know where you are right away, but the atmosphere of the Knights did not subside much because Inerma left.

Iris and Erica did say a word or two of concern, but that was all. According to them, they left the castle by their own choice, so they must have thoughts and respect them.

When I told her that I was going to subdue the headless ironclad cavalry alone, Iris teased her by asking if she would show me some respect, and Iris blushed.

‘Well, the cases of Inerma and I are a bit different.’

I focused on leveling again. First of all, the first goal was to open the rune slot by taking level 20.

I can still progress through the main story or fight bosses if I want to, but I took the safe route rather than the fast route.

This is not a speed run, and no one will praise you if you break it faster. Besides, my life was one. There are so many safe ways, but I didn’t want to buy and do dangerous things.

After that, I waited patiently to see when the trash mobs would respawn, and after a full day passed, I was able to reach level 20, which I so much wanted.

[ability level]

[Level] 20

[Stamina] 1

[Mana] 1

[Faith] 1

[Endurance] 1

[Skill] 1

[Strength] 1

[Mana] 10

[Divine Power] 10

[Durability] 2

With stat points, he set his Mana to 10, and raised his durability with the other one. You don’t have to take a lot of these, and you only need to take up to 7 to pick up the weapon you want later.

All that was left was to wait for Iris to mention the dungeon with runes. Even if I went to the dungeon before that word came out, it wasn’t even open.

This was an unreasonable forced event, so the player had no right to refuse.

Considering that the route of the Knights of the Silver Dawn itself is a story for newbies who are new to Brussels 4 in the first place, it was better to specify what to do one by one.

“Sister, don’t be bothered by the newcomer. What are you doing clinging to me since morning?”

The evening after I hit level 20. On the way to the restaurant, Erica let out a deep sigh as she saw Rize clinging to me.

Rize poked my cheek with her finger regardless.

“Are you bothering me? I serve you whole body. Look at this. Newcomers like it too. Right, newbie?”

“Yes, yes. It’s fine, so let’s go to the restaurant quickly.”

It is said that humans are animals of adaptation. Fortunately, I also developed some tolerance for Rize’s physical contact.

Anyway, it was really fortunate that I had reached the point where I pretended to be nonchalant and responded, rather than showing that I was flustered on the outside like before.

‘I still can’t get used to the difference in appearance and personality.’

Lise is a woman with a cold and haughty impression, as if if she kept her mouth shut, even if she pricked her with a needle, not a drop of blood would come out. Rather, I wondered if such an action would be more suitable for Erica.

‘If I told Erica, I’d be hit with one shot.’

Actually, Erica treating me like she treats her own sister was a sign that we had become quite close.

Rize’s behavior, which was a mixture of charm and seduction, continued throughout the walk to the restaurant. Erica struggled as if she was ashamed of her older sister and tried to separate them somehow.

Of course, the seeds were not eaten.

“Hey, newcomer! Are you already wearing two women? Are you good at it?”

As we entered the restaurant, Claudia, who was drinking beer from a glass taller than her head, waved at us. Next to it were already two more empty beer glasses of the same size.

‘That’s just like a game.’

The original NPC of Claudia was a formidable giant, taller than 2 meters in the setting, and had a generous personality and always lived with alcohol.

Although his appearance changed from a muscular old man with a shaggy beard to an androgynous beauty with thin limbs, his personality, unlike the other knight commanders, seemed to have remained the same.

On that theme, her hair was cute and round and bobbed, the color was light pink, her eyes were light pink, and even the dolphin pants she was wearing were light pink.

“Captain Claudia Knights!”

Suddenly, Erika, who was treated the same as Rize, screamed. Claudia laughed heartily, saying it was a joke, then gulped down her beer again.

‘I don’t know if you know that it really looks like that to other people.’

The person concerned didn’t seem to notice at all because he was tearing Rize apart, but seeing the three of us from the side, it was true that I really looked like I was wearing both Rize and Erika at the same time.

Rize had noticed that a long time ago, but she kept quiet with a meaningful smile.

“Drink in moderation and keep your voice down, Claudia. And let Regener get away from the rookie now.”

Iris, who was silently munching on bread at the highest table, said a word.

The seat of honor was originally intended for Claudia, who was the number one member of the Knights of the Silver Dawn. However, he conceded to Iris that it would be uncomfortable for him to sit in that seat, so the food would not pass.

Rize calmly took a step away, as if she couldn’t even reject Iris’s words. Erica looked at it and put on a puzzled expression.

‘If I don’t eat, I’ll starve to death, but I’m not hungry even if I don’t eat anything. I don’t know what kind of harmony this is.’

I appropriately picked up a loaf of bread and a plate of soup and headed to the table. Lise had brought seven loaves of bread and three plates of soup, and had been sitting at the table messing around with them.

I sat next to him too. Our seats were almost reserved. Iris was the most senior, Lise and I were in the line to the right of Iris, and Erica and Claudia were in the line to the left.

It wasn’t specifically decided to sit like this, but since Iris was the top seat and Rize always sat with me, it was a rule that was taken for granted from a certain point on.

“Ah, newcomer. I have something to say to you before you wake up, so please wait.”

As the meal time, which had not been boring thanks to Rise and Claudia, was slowly coming to an end, Iris suddenly opened her mouth. Wanting something, I turned my eyes to Iris.

“Do you know what a rune is?”

‘It’s finally here.’

As soon as I heard the word rune, I straightened my posture.

“Looking at the reaction, it seems that you know.”

“To some extent.”

“Then the story will speed up. We are going to head to the dungeon tomorrow. As the cliff of the mountain collapsed, a hidden dungeon was revealed, and judging from the form of the magic wave that was felt, it was said that the probability of the rune being there is very high. Aurora asked us to investigate.”

Iris calmly continued.

It was the story of the ‘Vitality Reinforcement’ rune that you get first in the Silver Dawn Knights route. He waited for Iris because he could only enter the dungeon when the hillside collapsed and revealed the dungeon.

Runes were the passive concept of Brunet 4.

Once equipped, it provides a semi-permanent buff to the character until it is replaced or removed, and the difference between with and without the rune is truly enormous.

Even if it was combat fatigue right away, there were countless strengthening effects, such as increasing the total amount of the gauge, reducing the number accumulated per hit, or increasing the natural recovery speed.

In particular, in Darkest Light mode, where bosses appear in all sorts of irrational patterns, proper use of runes was virtually essential.

“So, if there really is a rune there, I finished talking with the knight commanders to give it to you.”

“To me?”

It was an unexpected word.

In the game, of course, the player goes in alone, and the knight commanders do not move in the castle.

However, since it was obvious that they would act as a group here, I was worried about what would happen to the ownership of the runes later, but it was surprisingly easy to solve. To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Iris nodded.

“Didn’t I tell you last time? We intend to give you the best support we can. This, too, can be seen as part of that support. I can’t guarantee that it will be useful because I don’t know which series of runes will appear.”

‘Ah, indeed. They don’t know what will come out of it.’

I’m memorizing them all, but since they wouldn’t know the concept of playing rounds or anything like that, they must think it’s random.

“How come you aren’t surprised at all? You didn’t even know what runes were, rookie?”

Lize, who ate up all the bread and soup piled up before he knew it, looked at me with a clean face.

I thought I could eat that well. He’s short and has a body that doesn’t show any flab, but where did all the food he ate go?

ㅡRumble.

“… … .”

I felt like I knew somehow. Rize quickly turned her head before she noticed my gaze. I heard giggling next to me, so it seemed like it was already late.

After she finished speaking, Iris stood up from her seat holding the finished plate and added one last word.

“Do you have any questions, newbie?”

“No, there is not.”

There was no way. I picked up the bowl I had finished eating and stood up.

From now on, it was time to go catch the boss who was cursed the most in Brunet 4.
