Chapter 3856 Competent
"What do you think about his offer?" asked a man and a surprise couldn't help but appear on the woman's face.
"Are you seriously thinking about it?" she asked, and the man nodded. The woman opened her mouth to say something but closed it seeing the expression on the face of the man she loves.
"He knows about us. He is also aware of a lot of things. We also have leverage over him, if things were to go wrong," he said, and the woman laughed.
"That man scares me. I have come across Primes, and they didn't scare me as that man does," "When he looked at me. I feel naked. I feel like he could see through every secret of mine. I don't like it,"
"As for the leverage; I don't think we have any."
"He didn't seem worried at all. When he showed us all those resources; he seemed to be very sure, that we wouldn't be able to tell anyone anything about him and it is not just because of the trust," she said worriedly.
The man didn't say anything for several seconds.
"I wouldn't have thought about taking his help, but you know, what happened last time? I feared it might happen again and this time; I won't be able to stop it," said the man.
Hearing that, the eyes of the woman become worried. She knew what happened during his Earth Sovereign, he was barely able to survive.
"Do you think he will be able to help you with that?" she asked, to which he shrugged.
"I don't know, but he is the only person, I could think of aside from elders at the village. It will be years before we will reach the village and I don't want to burden on you, till then," he said.
The pain appeared in the woman's eyes as she heard those words and took her lover's face in her hand and looked into his eyes.
"You are not a burden. Don't ever say that!" she said.
He didn't say anything to that, but embraced her naked body tighter and inhaled her smell, which always made him calm.
...
"Congratulations, Michael. Your understanding of the ancient runes has now reached the competent level," she said, and a big smile lit up across my face.
I felt I had reached it, but her words made it formal.
The declaration made me so ecstatic that tears started to flow from my eyes. "Thank you, teacher," I said after controlling my emotions.
I opened them an hour later and walked toward my clones. The work in the inheritance has already begun. I joined them but didn't stay with them for long and returned to my table.
I tapped in the air, and a complex formation appeared in front of me. I have to upgrade it for the next upgrade.
Upgrading isn't a challenge for me. The challenge is to upgrade it with the ancient runes. The formation has 11.4% of ancient runes and I have to increase that by at least 2.5%.
The number is small, but it is a tall task. I will need to accomplish it if I want the power.
The power, I project is possible because of the inheritance. If it had been a subpar inheritance, then even with the methods and forbidden power; I wouldn't have been half as powerful as I am right now.
I studied it and began to select the common formation I could upgrade into the ancient ones.
I have already converted all the basic formations. The ones that remained are not basic; they are complex and converting them into the ancient rune formation is going to be a challenge.
Soon, I found what I had been looking for and copied it out of the formation before making the rest disappear.
"Now I have to turn you into the formation of ancient runes," I said to the common rune formation and began.
I began to draw the ancient runes frenziedly, but stopped a few seconds later and stared at them for a few minutes, before making small changes. I looked at the changes for a minute more before doing it.
Minutes passed and turned into the hours, and I kept working.
Buzz!
It was at the twenty-second hour, that formation buzzed. Seeing that, I smiled, but I controlled my emotions and brought the formation it is part of.
I begin to make adjustments. I couldn't simply replace it. I need to make an adjustment to it, which didn't take me more than a few minutes before I added the formation and activated it.
Buzz!
It buzzed clearly without any problem.
It worked better than I had thought. Now, I have to do that with a few more formations of this big formation.
I will need to make such changes in thousands of such big formations and design a few hundred new ones before the upgrade will be ready for me to use.
