Runemaster in the Last Days

Murin felt that it was unacceptable.

How come they were better than him?

Swish!

Riding on his flying magic beasts, Murin headed in the direction where the mana disturbance came from.

Even though it was so far away, Murin didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to catch up. No matter who do the advancement ceremony, he will make sure that he saw the other party clearly and see if she or he had that qualification.

Damn it!

Of course, he also prepared enough backup for him to run away at the fastest speed possible if he couldn't do anything.

After all, he didn't want to lose his life yet.

"When I find the right magic beasts, I'll definitely reach the peak of rank 6 at the fastest speed possible." Murin's face was ugly.

A beast master's advancement speed was very dependent on their magic beasts. If their magic beasts were good and all, then Murin's advancement speed would be like riding a rocket.

But if the magic beasts were not strong enough, then Murin's advancement speed would be affected.

Because he had to look for and hunt for the magic beasts himself, Murin couldn't focus on letting his magic beasts practice all the time. He had to make time for them to practice and at other time, these magic beasts were all busy with other things.

Moreover, while these magic beasts' talent was good, some of them were not that good because Murin took them for their special characteristic.

Even if he could have twice the amount of magic beasts… the feedback he received from each magic beasts was actually lower than ordinary beast master.

This was Murin's secret that he didn't let others knew.

They only envied him for being able to get a lot of magic beasts but they didn't know that he had to spend more resources to advance through ranks because of this talent.

Well, it could only be said that everything has a price.

"Tsk, damn it!" Murin cursed under his breath.

The next magic beast had to be a very talented magic beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to advance through ranks quickly and reached rank 7.

It seemed that he did have to pay attention to the type of magic beasts he selected in the future even more carefully.

…

City A Base

To be honest, City A Base was days away from City J Base and City I Base. The mana distortion didn't reach City A Base, but it was the call from the higher ups that came to Mr. Jones.

In the more than half a year time when Samuel and the others were gone and busy with their own business, Mr. Jones was also doing his best for City A Base. Right now, City A Base was definitely the best base for everyone to stay.

There was no lack of food in City A Base because the farming was very successful.

And it was also being replicated by other bases.

Of course, the order was pending because the person who could make it was not present. And the few rune masters who were being trained could only make the other fences while the core ones could only use the limited stock from City A Base.

In any case, City A Base made a lot of money.

At he same time, they still collected the magic beasts' corpses for Riya once a month, which she transported through the teleportation formation and then left behind a stack of space storage scrolls as payment.

It was really convenient.

The problems of food has been solved more or less and water was mostly using magic to solve it. As for the land itself, there were still some problems that was being handled little by little.

In City A Base, more and more people could now focus on improving their strength and even settling down.

For this matter, Mr. Jones was still busy.

But it's the kind that made him happy.

After all, being able to see City A Base getting better and better, there was definitely a sense of achievement from the bottom of his heart when he saw it all.

As for the daily dramas…

Let's just leave it to the other people to solve.

When Mr. Jones was busy with his work as usual, Mr. A suddenly called him and Mr. Jones could only postpone his work.

"Mr. A, it's been a while," Mr. Jones called out politely.

Mr. A nodded through the video call and asked the question he wanted to know the most directly, "Mr. Jones, sorry to bother you, but I would like to ask about what you know about advancement to rank 7."

Peter had mentioned that there would be an advancement ceremony but he didn't elaborate on it. In his words: he will tell them after he had advanced to rank 7 to prevent any accidents.

It was not like he wouldn't tell them, but it was not the time yet.

The Martial Arts Association also felt helpless about this, but they couldn't really force Peter to do what he didn't want to do.

So they could only say to the government that they couldn't help it.

The government also knew that these returnees definitely has reservation in everything that they shared with them. But what they had given out so far was indeed already very good and showed their sincerity to the fullest.

So while they were curious, they still knew how to hold themselves back.

But this didn't mean that they would give up so easily.

Since Peter refused to answer, couldn't they look for others?

There were more than one returnees.

Before coming to Mr. Jones, they had already contacted Dina and Ruth, but the answer of these two people were also consistent.

Dina directly said that they couldn't afford the price of this information from her.

As for Ruth, she said that she would sell the information after her advancement.

So the government had to turn to Mr. Jones to see if they could get a different answer.
