Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 13: Chapter 12 Great Invention?

Wensel's last words sent Rocky's heartbeat racing!Could it be, could it really be that this re

Seeing the secret room slowly open in front of him, Rocky immediately walked over. Even though the invention of mana runes might not have much practicality today, it was still an invention after all. If used well, it could potentially generate considerable profits, so although Rocky might be disappointed, he still walked into the secret room immediately.

The secret room behind the wall wasn't very large and contained only a table and a few large chests.

As Rocky walked in and looked down at the table, he saw a yellowed notebook on it, clearly titled: Research Notes on Mana Runes.

"It seems that Winsel has written everything about mana runes in this notebook."

Rocky carefully collected the notebook, then turned toward the chests in the room.

These chests were covered in dust, resembling treasure chests that had been sealed for many years.

Winsel had mentioned earlier that these chests contained experimental items.

"I wonder if there's any treasure..."

Seeing these chests, Rocky's spirits lifted again because although Winsel's invention might be mediocre, such masters often have considerable value. If there were one or two treasures among these experimental items left by Winsel, Rocky would consider his journey worthwhile.

So he eagerly opened the nearest chest.

As the lid opened, Rocky saw two long swords inside, and he randomly picked one to inspect. A sparkle flashed through his eyes instantly!

"Good stuff!"

As he grasped the long sword in his hand, Rocky instantly knew it was a top-notch weapon!

Theoretically, this long sword should have been sealed for nearly a hundred years, yet it still glowed brightly, with a coldness emanating from its tip, looking murderous.

More importantly, the hilt of the long sword was embedded with two magic stones!

This was a piece of magic energy equipment!

By using a special technique to embed magic stones into equipment, it is possible to create magic energy equipment, whose power, although not comparable to that of Void Magic Armor, is much greater than ordinary weapons. Additionally, due to the much lower cost compared to Void Magic Armor, magic energy equipment is extremely popular.

The long sword before him was a mana sword, and it was also embedded with two magic stones. The mana contained in the two magic stones would undoubtedly greatly enhance the sword's power and significantly increase the value of the sword.

"Scored big!"

Swinging the long sword a couple of times in his hand, Rocky was overjoyed. According to what he knew, such a mana weapon was worth quite a bit of money. If sold, it could at least earn him several hundred gold coins, nearly matching the monthly fiscal income of Thunderhawk City.

"Hopefully the other items here are also this valuable."

Reluctantly setting the mana sword aside, Rocky reached into the chest to pull out the second long sword.

This second long sword was almost identical to the mana sword he had just examined, the only difference being that this long sword did not have magic stones embedded. Instead, strange patterns were inscribed on the blade.

Holding the long sword, Rocky scrutinized the patterns and soon discovered that the patterns on the sword were all composed of weird runes!

"These must be mana runes, no wonder there are no magic stones embedded."

Mana runes themselves act as substitutes for magic stones, so while this long sword did not have magic stones embedded, because it was covered in mana runes, it still classified as magic energy equipment and also was a valuable item.

But then…

Looking at the rune sword in his hand and then at the mana sword on the table, Rocky suddenly had a curious thought—between the two swords, one embedded with magic stones and the other covered in magic patterns, which one had greater power?

Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel curious and somewhat eager to test them!

"Let's see which of you is sharper!"

Driven by curiosity, Rocky held the rune sword in his left hand and the mana sword in his right hand. He activated their magic power simultaneously, causing both swords to radiate light. Following that, he swung both swords together, letting them clash against each other.

However, instead of hearing the expected clashing sound, Rocky only felt a swish as his hands crossed paths. When he looked at the swords in his hands again, he found that the magic sword in his right hand had been cut in half!

The magic sword in his hand… had broken into two pieces!

"How is this possible!"

Staring at the two halves of the magic sword, Rocky was dumbfounded…
