Morningstar Palace
'Chemistry room'
As soon as Lucas came back and finished some important paperwork, he entered the chemistry room.
He spent about three days here without getting out, he even eats in this room while disclosing his newfound knowledge *of the rune science*
Rune science basically ingrains the skills that humans can obtain in energy-infused ink prints called runes. To achieve this, Lucas needs two things, special materials to combine with the ink, and a deep understanding of the skill he wants to include in the rune, for this particular reason, Lucas can only convert specific skills into a rune.
As skills are generally divided into three types: Energy manipulation skills, Title or (???) skills, and Bloodline skills
First and most common are Energy manipulation skills, which are skills that a person can acquire by practicing them, and can be achieved by manipulating and changing the components of a person's energy to create the effects of the skill, for example, the invisibility skill that Rin and the others masters is an energy manipulation skill
Secondly, Bloodline skills, are skills that are carried with the person when he is born, and they are mutations in the person's body due to his genes usually these skills can be transferred to the bloodline, for example, the telekinesis skill of Ethan. Ethan was born with an invisible energy field surrounding his body, and he can control this field as he wants by using his ideas
Thirdly, Title skills, are the skills that a person can use after a law gives him a title. In general, people who have a special soul can get a title if they can make a sting bond with the law. But there are special cases in which a warrior can get a title if he performs a distinguished achievement and attracts the attention of the laws
The only skills that Lucas can understand in general are energy manipulation skills, there is a small chance that Lucas can extract Bloodline skills after performing tests on its host but these tests can reach the point of sacrificing the skill user's life and the extraction percentage is also very low
As for the Title skills, they are outside the realm of logic and almost impossible to comprehend, even the laws conferring these skills are illogical existences
Knock Knock Knock
Suddenly Lucas heard a knock at the door
"Come in," said Lucas, sitting at his desk trying to rewrite Rune's word on a piece of paper
"Sir, you have received some letters." Ethan entered and said while placing a plate filled with many letters on Lucas's desk
"Thank you, Ethan," said Lucas holding a letter and getting ready to read it
The letter was from Giam, and he wrote that yesterday he had encountered the pirates described by Lucas, and after a tough battle he managed to capture their leader, and he would bring him to the family palace shortly.
Lucas continued to read the letters one after the other, one of them was from Idar who said he had found the crystal mine and wanted Lucas's permission to take a loan from the Golden Bank to buy the equipment needed to extract the crystal, and Lucas decided to accept Idar's suggestion even though the financial condition of the bright family and the Iskar city had become better now thanks to the success of the fertilizer and the gold being looted from the criminal organizations by Rin and the others Lucas wants to reinvest it in Iskar city and to gather the materials needed for his research. in addition to that, it will be easy to repay the loan after the start of extraction from the mine
And there were some letters from some cities wanting to buy organic fertilizer and other letters about the dungeon that the residents of Iskar and the neighboring cities became worried because the time of its explosion was near
But Lucas did not respond to these letters, as he still could not cover the needs of the city from the fertilizer, so he cannot export it yet. As for a dungeon, Ethan conducted many interviews with journalists and explained that the dungeon would not pose a danger to the residents of Iskar and Many newspapers published what Ethan explained, so Lucas doesn't answer questions about the dungeon anymore
There is also a letter that attracted Lucas's attention, a letter from Nizar
(Looks like they've been underestimating the Morningstar family a lot lately) Lucas thought as he read the letter
"Sir, there are also two children who arrived at the palace today and they said that a man told them to come to Morningstar Palace," said Ethan.
"Yes, the brother has a decent talent. I want to hire him, take care of them as usual and tell them I'll meet them shortly," said Lucas.
"Alright, sir, there is one more thing." Ethan
"What?" asked Lucas
"It's the master's mother, she wants to meet you," said Ethan
"...." Lucas
*******
Eleven years ago,
At this time, the battle for the succession of the head family seat was at its worst, as out of the thirty-three children who decided to participate in the conflict, only sixteen remained alive. All of those who survived so far had strong support from their mother's side of the family. Except for one child, a child who survived alone in this carnage, a child who did not get support from anyone, a child abandoned by everyone, even by his mother and sister, but despite that, he became the most frightening…
In one of the Palace of Morningstar Palace
"Y.. you are a mo…nster.." muttered a child covered in blood and surrounded by more than fifty corpses with a pale face as he pointed his sword at another child standing in front of him
"If you want to kill me then you have also prepared to lose everything you have," said Lucas
No..no..I don't wanna die." The child mumbled and turned around, trying to escape from the monster in front of him, but…
"Uh…" Suddenly he felt great pain attacking his neck because his neck was cut clean and fell to the ground lifeless body.
"Thanks me, for not torturing you to death," The black-haired boy didn't bother cleaning up the corpses, he knew that when he would wake up tomorrow he would find them all gone.
One of the windows of the palace there was a woman and her daughter looking at the child with a look of fear and disappointment.
