"Why can’t it be used!?"
Lord Lei was so exasperated by Lin Rui’s nonchalant attitude that she didn’t know how to express herself.
Her chest heaved violently as she opened her mouth again and again, wishing she could blurt out her words, but always feeling like they didn’t convey her feelings, too angry to articulate them.
Lin Rui was genuinely worried that her violently heaving bosom might explode from anger, so he handed her a cup of water, looked up at her, and said, "Calm down. Hasn’t Wutong’s cool and indifferent personality influenced you at all?"
She tilted her head and gulped down all the water in one go, droplets spilling from the corner of her mouth, running along her sharp chin and trickling down into the abyss beneath her mage robe.
Lu Weite imdiately held his forehead with his hand and lowered his head in response.
Lin Rui also quickly averted his gaze from that mysterious, bottomless abyss. Lord Lei wasn’t very involved with mundane interactions, so she lacked the delicate femininity typical of mages and instead possessed a kind of primitive, pure beauty.
Staring at her felt like a cri; eyes could easily develop styes.
Lord Lei drank all the water in one go, firmly placed the cup on the table with both hands, still feeling indignant.
"You wealthy folks focused on military provisions have no idea about the struggles of us poor people!"
"I ask you, you’ve given such expensive runes, should I use them or not?"
Lin Rui reasonably replied, "Use them. I gave them to you so you can use them."
"But what happens when I upgrade my equipnt later? I only have one Magic Staff that looks decent right now; the rest of my equipnt is not refined. Just look at this shabby mage robe—when I get excited, the buttons pop off. If there were better options, I’d have thrown it away long ago!"
After saying this, Lord Lei fuming sat heavily in a chair, leaning forward to stare at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui imdiately shifted his gaze away from her; it turned out that a busty young lady could really lay it all out on the table.
"Tell , putting these runes on such shabby equipnt, isn’t it making anxious? I can’t embed such precious runes on such poor gear, can I?"
"Yet placing such powerful ten runes in a jewelry box makes itch to use them. Especially after experiencing the thrill of bombarding, the feeling is just too amazing, it’s addictive!"
Lin Rui was enlightened; so that’s what she’s referring to.
It really is a problem indeed.
Military provision is never sothing to save money on.
Runes, much like badges, once installed, are not ant to be removed.
It’s easy to understand; how could a rune integrated into equipnt be taken out? Use a knife to scrape off that layer of Silver Radiance bit by bit?
Soone like Lin Rui who is wealthy, a Lord, can afford not to worry, with wealth accumulating cycle after cycle, quickly amassing hundreds or even thousands of runes.
Consistently providing soldiers with the latest and most refined equipnt.
But for a person without substantial financial support, using precious runes on equipnt destined to be replaced is indeed heart-wrenching.
Regarding Lord Lei’s troubles, Lin Rui casually waved his hand and said, "Feel free to use them. As long as you’re within the territory, I’ll replenish any runes your equipnt needs with upgrades. I guarantee you’ll always have ten Silver Shields."
"Really?" Lord Lei was so thrilled she nearly jumped, her chest trembling with aftershocks.
But then she paused, suspiciously eyeing Lin Rui: "Why are you treating so well? Are you up to sothing shady, or..."
Lin Rui leaned back, pushing her prying gaze away: "You’re really confident, aren’t you? This is just a benefit for being Wutong’s maidservant; all soldiers in the territory enjoy this treatnt. An ulterior motive? How did you co up with that idea!"
Lord Lei blushed.
Oh no, Yuyu’s romantic musings had misled her!
True, apart from her laziness, the majority in the territory are focused on becoming stronger, not on romance.
Embarrassed and frustrated, she stomped her foot and hurriedly fled from the tavern.
But after she left with her exquisite fragrance wafting, Lin Rui seriously pondered her issue.
The territory was indeed desperately lacking in magic equipnt.
The armory’s na, Steel Hand, says it all—it’s not producing mage gear.
Unless the mage is a towering figure over two ters tall, clad in heavy armor, with a Warhamr in the left hand and a scripture in the right, a tin can-type mage.
Yet Silver Shield runes must be prioritized for the Mage Corps.
In this grand battle against the Green Tide on the expansive battlefield, the Mage Corps only occasionally saw the radiant missiles streak across the sky, crashing into enemy formations, not daring to bombard indiscriminately.
Especially the Imperial Dawn Legion’s Flaming Storm, which they didn’t dare to unleash casually.
If it drifted toward the Beastman Giants and thousands of giants were hard, the Dawn Legion couldn’t withstand the backlash.
But with Silver Shield runes, at least before Tier Five, the Dawn Legion mages could bombard confidently. They were unlikely to cause damage exceeding a hundred thousand in area-related AOE harm.
However, these Imperial Dawn Legion mages severely lacked refined mage equipnt.
The Empire’s Holy Scripture emphasizes loyalty, steel, and Spiritual Energy.
This has a very pronounced hefty dark style; it’s not famous for mages.
To resolve the mage equipnt issue, it still requires trade negotiations to bring them from other locales.
Therefore, Lin Rui looked at Lu Weite and asked, "I plan to purchase a batch of Building Plans and mage equipnt. Any recomndations?"
Lu Weite imdiately nodded: "Coincidentally, this is what I wanted to discuss with Lord Lin Rui; our trade alliance has expedited the delivery of the trade keys. This morning, we’ve already hurriedly established the Divine Throne Banquet."
