349: C349 Master Zhuo

C349 Master Zhuo

After asking the people of a few tribes along the way, Lin Long came to a stone house that was twice the size of the other stone houses. Once he walked in, Lin Long discovered that this stone house was divided into many different rooms.

At this moment, three youths were drawing something on the floor, sitting in the outermost room.

These three youths looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were all a few years younger than him.

Seeing him enter, the three of them lifted their heads. Their faces were clearly filled with surprise, and soon after, one of them asked, "What is it?"

"Mr. Huo Yi of the Huo family told me to use this broken rune apparatus to repair it." Lin Long said as he picked up the rune apparatus in his hand.

The person who spoke stood up, then walked over and took the rune apparatus from Lin Long's hands.

After looking at the rune apparatus, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "You are the new Lin Long right?"

"That's right." Lin Long nodded.

"Oh." Lin Long could clearly see some hostility in his eyes.

"Alright, you can leave now. We'll see if the rune apparatus has been repaired in five days." Following that, the youth spoke in a very cold voice.

However, just as Lin Long was about to turn around, an extremely aged voice came from inside the room, "Are you a newcomer from the tribe?"

"Yes." The youth in front of Lin Long quickly replied.

"Then take a question to test him." the voice said again.

"Yes." The teenager called Li Dong said honestly.

"Wait a moment." After he followed Lin Long's instructions, he walked inside with large strides. Very quickly, he took out a sand table and a piece of paper, and handed them over to Lin Long, "Draw the runes and threads on the sand table according to the questions written on the paper."

After taking the paper and sand table, Lin Long focused on the paper.

After looking at it, he realized that it was a question related to the Symbol Literature. In Chaotic Continent, such a question was very common, however, if one were to obtain the Chaotic Continent's answer, it would obviously be a very difficult question.

If one did not have an in-depth study of Symbol Literature, they would not be able to answer it.

Could it be that the level of Symbol Literature in this place is that high? Lin Long could not help but look at the three youths, and then began to answer the questions seriously.

Although this question was difficult, it was not difficult for him at all. Hence, after pondering for a little while, he began to draw a rune or thread on the sand table.

In less than ten minutes, the sand table was covered with lines drawn by Lin Long.

At first, Li Dong did not care at all, and even his face revealed a look of disdain. The other two teenagers only glanced at Lin Long, but as time passed and as the number of threads on the sand increased, Li Dong's face revealed an expression of surprise. At the last stage, the other two also surrounded Lin Long and watched his every action without blinking.

They could not be blamed for being surprised, because this question was extremely difficult for them and they had yet to solve it.

Who would have thought that Lin Long would explain everything to his in such a short amount of time.

When Lin Long stopped what he was doing, Li Dong couldn't help but take another glance at him before he took his sand table and quickly walked inside.

After a few breaths of time, Lin Long heard a surprised shout coming from inside.

Not too long after, an old man in his sixties walked out.

This old man was brimming with vigor and vitality, he did not look like an old man at all. Furthermore, Lin Long could feel a strong Qi coming from his body.

It was an old man who had trained his mystical Qi to a certain degree, Lin Long thought.

Clearly, this was the only master of runes, Master Zhuo.

As soon as he walked out, Master Zhuo seemed very excited, "This little brother, thank you so much. I haven't been able to come up with a proper answer for this question for decades. I didn't think you would be able to find it out in such a short time."2

Hearing this, the three youths at the side were stunned. They had thought that this was a question their teacher had come up with to test them, but who would have thought that even their own teacher hadn't been able to answer?

After being shocked, they couldn't help but look at Lin Long a few more times.

Master Zhuo was initially just asking Li Dong to take it out casually, but who would have thought that Lin Long would actually take it out.

Lin Long was also very surprised, he never thought that this question would actually baffle the tribe's only Runic Master.

Although this question was a standard Symbol Literature question, it was not at all difficult to the point of being exaggerated.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, this place was isolated from the rest of the world, and their knowledge fell behind the Chaotic Continent by who knows how many years.

"Master Zhuo, you're welcome." Lin Long smiled faintly.

"You are called Lin Long, right?" Master Zhuo asked.

"Yes." Lin Long nodded.

"Then do you have any interest in helping me out? I'm a little weak myself, although the three of them have been in contact with the Symbol Literature for many years, they still can't help much." Master Zhuo suddenly said.

"My pleasure." Lin Long quickly replied.

He was currently having a headache how to break and improve the rune apparatus in his hands. If he came to a place like this where he could be in contact with the core content of this rune apparatus, he naturally had more hope of breaking and improving the rune apparatus.

Thus, how could he possibly refuse?

"That's great." Master Zhuo said happily.

He really did not think that there would be someone who was proficient in Symbol Literature s. To him, anyone who could solve such a question was definitely not much different from him, and if possible, might even be at a higher level than him.

This was a joyous occasion for the entire tribe who lacked talent in the Symbol Literature.

"Li Dong, the three of you must follow Teacher Lin Long's instructions in the future." Then, Master Zhuo looked at the three youths beside him and said.

The three youths were all dumbstruck, especially Li Dong, who had just displayed his hostility towards Lin Long.

"Master Zhuo, you should first tell this matter to Mr. Huo Yi, right?" Lin Long said.

"That's true." Master Zhuo nodded, then directly said to Li Dong, "Li Dong, immediately go and inform Teacher Lin Long about helping me."

Although Li Dong seemed unwilling, he still walked out quickly.

A month of time could already be said to have passed over a dozen times already, and time could be said to have reached the point where there was no time to delay. Thus, Lin Long did not plan to personally report this to Huo Yi and directly stayed behind.

After that, Master Zhuo brought him to familiarize himself with the place. Other than the first floor, there was also a basement, and all of the things here were things related to Symbol Literature.

After familiarizing himself with the environment, Master Zhuo began to introduce the core content of this rune apparatus.
