Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 71

Riya didn’t directly answer.

She knew very well that the matter of these magic beasts might follow them for a long time and Riya didn’t know how to explain her knowledge.

Moreover, what kind of excuse would be suitable?

"I guess it?" Riya answered with unsure tone.

Ruby looked at Riya helplessly and then said, "If you don’t want to answer, you can choose not to answer instead of giving such an answer."

Riya scratched the back of her head.

Looking at this friend of hers, Ruby realized that everyone around her might have some big secrets on their own. Just from Amelia’s practice just now, Ruby felt that Amelia was really strong. And now, Riya also seemed to have some knowledge that other people didn’t know.

But Ruby would not ask them about this.

She knew very well that if she were to rashly try to seek the truth from them, she might not be successful.

And their relationship would deteriorate instead.

Rather than doing this, it would be better for Ruby to pretend that she knew nothing and just follow along with their pace.

But it would be better for Riya to be careful.

"Even if you know more of these magic beasts, don’t let others find out," Ruby added. "Knowledge is power and at the same time, knowing too much will only bring you demise."

As a person who wanted to become a researcher, Ruby understood how much the power the knowledge from these research would bring her.

It was also because she knew that she didn’t want others to take advantage of Riya’s knowledge. If it was only her and Amelia, Ruby would not mind because they would not take advantage of Riya.

But if it was others…

Who knew what they would do.

"I know." Riya smiled. "Thank you for your reminder."

Riya would not tell others about her knowledge and so on. She was not so stupid that she would expose the fact that she was very knowledgeable to others so easily. Even without Ruby’s reminder, she would not do that.

The only reason why she still told Amelia and Ruby was because she treated them as her close friends.

She couldn’t tell some things, but these things were important for their survival.

After all, Riya had spent four years or so in that world where she had no one she could truly trusted. In that world, she had faced many cruelties and challenges that was far from comparable to what existed in this world.

If she had foolishly trust others, she would not be able to survive for such a long time.

"Good." Ruby nodded.

"Let’s prepare your bedding for tonight. And how about if we set up night watch so that if these magic beast come closer, we won’t be caught unprepared?"

"That’s a good idea."

With that, they started to arrange a new place to rest for Ruby and then arranged for the night watch.

Amelia trained until she was tired and felt that her strength had improved. Even though Amelia was usually coquettish and lazy in her training, but she knew that their lives depended on whether she could defeat the magic beast or not.

So this time, Amelia trained so hard.
