The Truth of the Ancient Runes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What stood before Fulan now was a standard three-story little building. Aside from the first floor, which had been built from stone, the upper two floors clearly showed a wooden plank structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a protruding balcony on the second floor, with a straw lounge chair placed on it. Beside it sat several reddish clay flowerpots, planted with vivid, colorful flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wooden door in front of her was a plaque that read 【Baker Raymond’s House】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulan glanced at the paper in her hand. According to the information written on it, after selling his shop, that enchanter had bought a small house here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knocked directly on the door, inwardly hoping that the enchanter had not moved again. Otherwise, she would have to go searching for him all over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence behind the door, the sound of shoes stepping down a wooden staircase rang out. Someone was hurrying downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’m taking the day off today, so I haven’t made any bread yet. Thank you for your concern...” A deep male voice came from behind the door, followed immediately by the sound of the lock being opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Raymond had assumed it was one of his old regular customers. Seeing that his bakery was not open, they had likely come by to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw that the person outside was someone he did not recognize, he had just started to ask why she was knocking when he noticed the mage robe Fulan was wearing, complete with its insignia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze for a moment, then hurriedly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My apologies, Honored Mage... I didn’t know that it was you knocking at my door...” He stammered a little from excessive nervousness, though at least he managed to express himself clearly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulan paid no attention to his apology and asked directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a question for you. Five years ago, were you working as an enchanter, and did you move here after selling your shop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raymond quickly replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Honored Mage. I haven’t worked in that trade for a very long time now...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply puzzled by the way this mage had suddenly come to question him about the work he used to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not understand why a mage would take an interest in an enchanter who had already changed professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then was this rune engraved by you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulan handed him a shortsword. Raymond hastily accepted it. After examining it carefully, he nodded and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. This was one of the very few orders I ever received...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me how you learned the craft of engraving this rune.” Fulan cut him off and told him to get straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Raymond immediately began his account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven years ago, Raymond had found an old, tattered book in his home. It had delighted him, because even a single book could sell for a respectable price in Ged Town, at no less than two silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after carefully reading its contents, he discovered that it explained how to engrave a rune onto a weapon, and that sent his heart racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, while enchanters in Ged Town were not especially rare, their income was still far beyond what farmers or laborers hauling goods could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying a few times, he discovered that he really could engrave a rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he immediately borrowed money and began his life as an enchanter. Reality, however, dealt him a crushing blow right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because being an enchanter was not as simple as he had imagined, where all one had to do was draw runes. It was also a service profession, and the customers had to be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he did not know how to apply additional coatings to weapons and could not produce runes with a wider variety of effects, his customer traffic plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, all things considered, he had barely been able to maintain a respectable life. Enchanters were, after all, a high-end profession, and their fees were rather expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thing that truly destroyed his enchantment business was the very shortsword before him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, the customer had wanted a Frost Rune. It was a relatively obscure rune. None of the other enchantment shops knew how to do it, but after flipping through the book, he had decided to accept the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this rune looked rather different from the others in the book—more complex, and much stranger—he went through with it for the sake of that commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once he began drawing it, he discovered in horror that after reaching the halfway point, every single stroke required more Mental Power than the last. He simply could not continue, and after drawing only half of it, he fainted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he woke up and looked at the half-finished rune, he had no idea how he was supposed to explain himself to the customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet unexpectedly, it actually worked. It was just that it occasionally failed to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The customer was not exactly satisfied, but after Raymond explained that the rune was relatively rare and difficult to draw, he was still able to grudgingly accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Raymond was secretly pleased with himself for making another profitable sale, bad news arrived. Word began spreading outside that his craftsmanship was poor, and that the runes he engraved could not even activate reliably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the shop that had once still attracted the occasional customer suddenly lost everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business suffered catastrophic losses, and he was already planning to shut it down and go back to farming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, quite unexpectedly, the Adventurers’ Guild suddenly requisitioned the land in his area, and he received a large sum of money in compensation, enough to wipe out all of his losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had no intention of going back into that line of work. He simply became a baker instead. The income was not as high as before, but it was at least stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I found this in a pile of books in my house, Honored Mage. Please wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Raymond trotted back inside the house. After rummaging around for quite a while, he finally pulled out a dust-covered book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had intended to sell the book, but the moment people heard that it was a rune book being sold by that enchanter who could not even engrave a rune properly, they would only offer the normal price for an ordinary book. And to someone who had already received demolition compensation, that little bit of money meant too little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, he had simply kept it at home as a memento.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that a mage had personally come to ask for the book, Raymond gave up on the idea of keeping it as a souvenir and handed it directly to Fulan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulan took out twenty silver coins. That was the normal price for buying a damaged rune manual, because it was not a certified rune-learning book, which was why it only sold for that amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Raymond do? Receiving twenty silver coins was already an unexpected delight. Naturally, he did not dare haggle with a mage and accepted the offer at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Raymond’s house, Fulan opened the battered book in her hands and read through it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still contained many normal modern runes, though there were not many recorded in it—only seven in total—and they were no different from the ones Fulan had already learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What delighted Fulan, however, was that the more complex runes were also in it. There were seven of those as well, and they were recorded in full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Fulan turned to the seventh rune, she nearly threw the book to the ground, because the pattern on it was deeply unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a simple sketch of an elephant seated among a range of mountains. And this was precisely the symbol of the Elephant of the Mountains, a god worshipped in the Material Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After this rune is engraved onto a weapon, it can grant that weapon a weight similar to that of mountains. However, take care to protect the weapon, as the rune itself may damage the weapon.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the description of the rune. If it also had an effect similar to the progress bar for the infusion of Mental Power, then it was very likely the ancient rune version of [Weight].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulan stared fixedly at the rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this rune was the symbol of the Elephant of the Mountains, then were the previous six runes also symbols of certain gods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just looked through them all. Those six runes followed the exact same format, with an animal figure in the center and small patterns surrounding it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1474,"2026-06-06T12:21:11.535Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c732d55bb1e2a558dde9878e936621571963d82b1114f0268817fe90e279ae6","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-138","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-136",178,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-cover.jpg"]
