Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 138

He didn’t understand much about talisman making and their materials.

"Yes, it’s different." Riya looked at Samuel helplessly and then said, "The lower the materials used, the more mana you have to consume when making the talisman. Unranked magic beasts’ blood is only slightly better than ordinary animals’ blood, so I have to use more mana when making the talisman."

Samuel looked at Riya speechlessly.

Why did it seem that the price was upside down?

"So the higher the materials, the more you’re wiling to make for the same price?" Samuel asked.

"Yes."

"How about rank 2 magic beasts’ blood?" Samuel asked.

Riya looked at Samuel with some suspicion. If she was not wrong, Samuel’s family status in that world was really high, right?

If that was the case, he should have known that ordinary paper wouldn’t be able to hold the higher ranked magic beasts’ blood. If it was that easy for them to make talisman, there was no need for them to use specifically built talisman paper because they could just use ordinary paper.

Wait…

’Is he testing me?’

Riya’s brain turned fast and felt that what she said does have a lot of loopholes. But now that the world was already in disrepair because of the earthquake that happened to the entire world, Riya didn’t have that much worry anymore.

But even if she could guess that Samuel was testing her, Riya could just throw the pot to that inheritance thing.

She had become more and more proficient in throwing the blame to that thing.

"Not possible unless you can give me better paper," Riya replied calmly and looked straight in Samuel’s eyes.

Samuel arched his eyebrows, looking at the young woman in front of him carefully. He felt that Riya could see his suspicions, but she still confront him directly.

Should he say that she was smart or stupid?

But no matter what, he knew that Riya’s answer is correct. Unless he could provide a much better paper than the ordinary paper, there was basically no hope for them to use a rank 2 magic beasts’ blood to make talisman.

Samuel nodded.

"The jade… you want to use it to make talisman?" Samuel suddenly asked.

If he was not wrong, there were some materials that could be used to make formation and jade seemed to be one of them. When Samuel thought about this, he guessed that it should be possible for Riya to collect the jade to make formation and so on.

Rank 1 formation was not that strong, but it was not that weak either.

"Yes," Riya replied.

There was nothing to hide from this matter.

"How does jade compare to other materials in maintaining the mana?" Samuel asked.

Riya: "…"

Does she look like a researcher?

Riya knew that the jade could contain mana because she had seen the mana inside the jade themselves. But if someone asked her how it compare with other materials, Riya had to say that she didn’t know.
