Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel looked at his father suspiciously. He didn't believe that his father would tell this piece of news to him without any reason whatsoever.

The two of them were planning to leave to the crack again, but Mr. Jones asked them to stay for a while because of this matter.

"I want to know, how powerful a demonic magician could be and whether you can let her be used by the higher ups," Mr. Jones said.

Samuel looked at his father.

He was sure that this matter should have been ordered by the higher ups to his father. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for his father to come and ask them this question.

"A demonic magician is still an official profession and they can reach as high as other profession," Samuel said calmly. "Of course, that's only if they have the method to advance."

There were requirement for them to advance in their rank for each profession. For example, the meditation technique, the few things they needed to do before they advanced every three ranks, and the resources.

Without these things, it would be impossible for one to advance in ranks.

"Considering that Dina Alden is the one who spread out the demonic magician's path, I believe that she should have the necessary methods to advance through ranks," Samuel said calmly.

He knew that Dina Alden is the little princess in that world.

With great family background, it would be impossible for Dina not to know about how to advance to rank 7.

But as for the future path after that, he was not sure.

After all, even Samuel had limited knowledge about the requirement for one to advance to ranks after rank 9. His family didn't tell him much in that world and only said that he would know after he reached rank 9.

Since he died when he was only rank 7… he simply never knew what they meant.

"I see." Mr. Jones nodded, not surprised.

Even though the demonic magicians seemed to be very cruel and all, but he could see that his son didn't seem to have much malice towards them. If anything, he just seemed that he dislike them but his anger and hatred was not as much as when he was facing Murin.

"As for whether he could be used by the higher ups…" Samuel didn't know much about Victoria and simply turned his head to look at Riya.

"I'm not close to Victoria and if there's anyone who might know, it'll be Amelia." Riya shrugged.

The best person to ask about this matter would be Amelia because she was closer to Victoria. To be honest, Riya herself didn't understand what Victoria was planning to do when she heard the big movements that Victoria was doing.

It seemed as if she was purposely announcing her presence in the world.

"I can't ask her." Mr. Jones shook his head.

Samuel and Riya both didn't know what to say.

"Alright, you two can go on your trip to the crack again."

Seeing their expression, Mr. Jones simply kicked these two people out. He knew very well that there was no point in keeping these two people.

Riya nodded and didn't ask Mr. Jones to truly ask Amelia.

What a joke.

That girl has been putting pressure on herself to get stronger.

It was to the point that Riya was amazed by the other party because she could persist for so long.

The two of them left and Mr. Jones heard that these two people immediately left to the crack.

Mr. Jones: "…"

Do you love the crack so much?

Then again, as long as they were killing the magic beasts, it was actually a good thing for him too, so he said nothing in the end.

…

While Riya and Samuel were busy in the crack, Sophia was busy training. She didn't train as much as Amelia, but her own progress was gratifying.

And right now, Sophia had reached rank 3, but she didn't have any idea about what magic beasts she planned to contract.

However, when Sophia came to the Jones Family Residence, she found out that Samuel and Riya were out again.

"Those two are going out again?" Sophia asked helplessly. "It seems that my luck is really bad."

After the first trip when Samuel and Riya entered the crack for a month and didn't come back at all, these two people had repeated trip outside for some reasons. As for where they were going, it was obviously the crack.

Because when they came back, they would bring a lot of magic beasts' corpses to be handed over to the base to use.

Part of it would be used for the food and part of it would be sent to the research institute.

It could be said that the research institute was very happy whenever they heard that Samuel and Riya were missing.

Because they knew that after these two people returned, they would definitely bring a lot of magic beasts' corpses back.

And who will do research for these magic beasts?

It was naturally them!

Ruby was also among them and she was treated especially well by the government and Riya. The resources in her hand was definitely far more than the other researchers. Thankfully, Ruby didn't disappoint them and had came up with various research reports about various magic beasts.

She was also the one who came up with the method to extract the mana from higher ranked magic beasts's corpses.

The mana would then be used to make food with higher concentration of mana, which was used for military's food. After all, this could help magic warrior advance faster and the effect was the best for people under rank 3.

In a way, this has become the special military supplies.

Ruby's identity has also become more and more important.

But in front of them, they were nothing more than roommates and friends who used to spend time playing together for a long time.

"Yes." Amelia looked at Sophia helplessly. "They left a few days ago."
