Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 365: Don’t Touch it!

"Don't touch it," Samuel quickly yelled to the researchers. He was still outside the room and didn't come inside. Naturally, he would not allow the others from his team to enter the room either.

The others didn't know why they were not allowed to go inside, but since they knew Riya's real identity, they chose to listen.

Anyway, this place did look a bit creepy and scary.

"Do you know what it is?" The researchers turned their heads to look at Samuel curiously.

"No, but before you know it, I don't think it's wise to touch anything in this room," Samuel said solemnly.

The leader was at the edge of the door and frowned. Seeing that neither Samuel or Peter came inside, he had the feeling that this place might be a bit special.

With that, he raised his hand, preventing his men from coming in.

The soldiers retreated in orderly manner.

"Peter, do you know what it is?"

"Ah? It's a special magic core," Peter replied and then looked at Samuel with suspicion. It was impossible for Samuel not to know that it was a special magic core, right?

Samuel passed a glance at Peter.

He could guess that it should be some kind of special magic core, but he didn't want to say anything lest he said something wrong. Because he knew this place because he had paid a visit in the past with Riya.

And what happened after she took the special magic core…

It was not exactly something that Samuel hoped to repeat again.

Being chased by a large number of magic beasts, it was really tiring for both of them to fight these magic beats.

"Special magic core?" The leader repeated.

"Similar to the magic core you usually found in the magic beasts… but since it's here, I guess it's used to power up the formation. Not that I know what formation it is, but I'm definitely not entering the room," Peter said decisively.

As a free warrior, one without any affiliation and had to work hard to earn his own resources, Peter has always been cautious.

He knew very well that there were many rune master who could create killing formations. If he were to enter and accidentally activated the formation, he wouldn't know where he could cry to.

So for the sake of his life, Peter would not take a risk to enter a place filled with format without knowing what it is.

"Researchers, please get out first." The leader's heart skipped a beat when he heard that and quickly beckoned for the soldiers to step back along with the researchers.

All of them came out of the room.

While some researchers were still looking at the special magic core with some greed, but they were also afraid that taking it would trigger the formation.

"If the magic core is taken, wouldn't the formation can't work?" Pall, another student from Professor Dit, asked in confusion.

"I don't know about it but I don't think that it's that simple," Peter replied with a shrug. He really didn't know much about this matter.

Samuel heard this and shook his head. "A big formation like that might contain several smaller formations interlocking together. So there might be other sources of mana. Besides, some formation didn't really need you to specifically provide them with mana source as they could lock the mana inside and set the trigger condition like the magic scrolls."

The researchers listened carefully and nodded.

They have seen the cool talisman before and understood that it could be used as long as it was torn to reach the runes' line. It would trigger the formation to activate and they didn't understand how it worked.

The runes explanation that Riya gave to them didn't really deal with the essence of the runes or anything like that.

After all, that kind of explanation would take a long time.

And Riya was not so kind that she would share everything she knew.

"Then we can't do anything to this special magic core?" One of the other researchers asked again, still feeling unwilling.

"Unless you want to die, you should not touch that special magic core," Samuel said slowly and then turned around. "Let's go back, we've been here long enough and the amount of resources you have gathered are more than enough for a long research."

The researchers recalled the video they took and then the various samples they have taken.

They could only nod unwillingly.

The leader looked at Samuel and felt that he knew something more, so he walked closer to Samuel and asked, "Have you been here before?"

Samuel didn't answer.

Because he actually wanted to find a place to talk with Riya about this place. When they came here, the formation was not completely dyed in red and there was not even any blood marks within the room.

But now…

Is it because Riya took the special magic core at that time?

There were questions in Samuel's mind.

The leader saw Samuel didn't answer and turned to look at Peter. "Do you know the rank of that special magic core? And it's use?"

"It's use?" Peter tilted his head and then replied, "Of course it's to increase a person's magic rank. That special magic core can be absorbed directly and the one you see just now is already rank 5. Once you absorb it, you can get mana equivalent of a rank 5 magicians… for magic warriors, you might be able to advance from rank 1 to rank 4 directly."

To be honest, Peter himself was also greedy for it.

But he knew very well that having treasures without any ability to keep or use it would be useless.

So it would be better for him not to think too much.

It would be better to leave this special magic core.

Besides, he's a warrior and naturally didn't need mana. His body constitution in that world was also special and in this world… Peter didn't know. But he couldn't sense the mana in the air unless it was an obvious mana fluctuation like those magic cores.
