Gnom fully developed the dwarf's chattering style. He held a beer and talked to himself for a long time before he realized that Snorri had already wandered away.
"If I were you, I would practice hard and strive to become a rune master as soon as possible. Then I would be able to lead the army alone and even become a lord."
He ended his speech with his outlook on the future. He drank down his beer in one gulp and stood up to open the door and leave.
Unexpectedly, Snorri immediately became energetic when he heard "lead alone" and "become a lord".
"Uh, how do you become that rune master?"
"What?" Gnom turned around with a surprised look on his face.
"That's the Rune Master, the one who can lead an army alone and become a lord," Snorri repeated.
Hearing this, Gnom walked to the bed and patted Snorri:
"Uncle Dragon Hammer said that you hurt your head. I still don't believe it. It seems that the injury is really serious. Mastering a master rune is a rune master. All the rats in the gutter know this. You are a cruel person.
Don’t Master Kragg’s disciples know this? Forget it, have a good rest, I’ll call a priest to show you.”
Genome muttered and walked out of the room.
Snorri was ecstatically calling up the system on the bed. "The way to take off is by my side!! Let me see which master-level rune is suitable."
Snorri called up the novice welfare function in his system, which is the part of the game where oath gold is used to forge weapons and runes. However, this part of the function can only be used three times.
In the rune forging system, the runes that can be forged are divided into two categories: character runes suitable for individuals and battle flag runes suitable for the army. Since Snorri has not yet led a solo army, he decided to forge a character rune first to enhance combat effectiveness.
.
He finally chose the master rune of steadfastness and the master rune of flight.
The Rune of Firmness can increase the maximum health by 20%. The ax of the Big Belly King Gulu made him frightened. Increasing the maximum health can obviously improve one's survivability;
The Master Flying Rune is an additional long-range skill that can cause fire and magic damage and is good at fighting heavily armored units. It is self-evident that dwarves who are in melee combat and rarely suffer magic damage have the ability to cast spells.
In the introduction column, "This rune has the powerful power to break armor and was used to surprise dwarf enemies at the beginning of the world." Snorri was even more fascinated.
"Hehehehe, why don't I want them all? I have a green dragon on my left and a white tiger on my right, an old ox on my waist, and a dragon's head on my chest. When the time comes, I will hammer down the Eternal Chosen One and chop down the Council of Thirteen with my axe. Isn't that just a joke!"
Snorri was immersed in joy and kept clicking on the system, "Hey, why is there no response? Is the system stuck?"
After a short inspection, he found that he did not have the pledge gold needed to forge the runes! Snorri turned his small treasury upside down and found more than three thousand dwarf gold coins, but there was not a single pledge gold.
In the knowledge in my memory, oath gold is the product of refining meteorite iron. The process is complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Only blacksmiths who have mastered the power of runes are qualified to make it. It is often used for trading treasures whose value is difficult to measure with ordinary money.
Since Snorri had just mastered the power of runes, he had not yet started making oath gold. As for him, as a lord, recruiting rune blacksmiths to produce oath gold for himself, it was even more difficult for him.
"A penny is too much for a hero!" Snorri paced back and forth in the room. He was so immersed in thinking about the source of the pledge money and the excitement about the possibility of rising in status that he could no longer feel the pain of the wound.
"Producing it yourself is the last resort. According to the knowledge in my memory, I can get one coin a week at my current level. It will take me less than half a year to get 25 coins, which is too slow;
You can also find oath gold by going out on adventures, recovering lost fortresses or killing greenskins, ratmen, etc., but not to mention that the harvest is unstable, and given my current physical condition, it is probably a waste;
It's probably not possible to rely on cheating. This thing is no better than gold coins. Even the dwarf nobles are like treasures at the bottom of the box. It's really difficult to deal with it without a group of strong men watching, and I don't know how to sneak."
After struggling for a long time, Snorri found that his thinking had entered a dead end.
"Hey, I can find a bargain daddy. The majestic Supreme King, the Lord of the Kingdom of the Mountains, doesn't have a lot of pledge money, but although 25 is not much, I still have to think of a reliable reason. I can't say that I want it.
Let’s use the system to cast runes..."
While thinking about it, Snorri walked out of the room, asked the guard outside the door for directions, and then went straight to Thorgreen, the chamber of the Resentment Bearer.
After passing the long corridor and the narrow clockwise spiral staircase
Most of the circular spiral staircases in dwarf castles run in a clockwise direction. The reason for this is: assuming the attacker attacks from below, the clockwise staircase positions the attacker's right hand, that is, their swordsman, on the inside of the spiral, so that
Their weapons swing more difficult.
Meanwhile, the defenders' swordsmen would be on the outside of the spiral, allowing freer use of their weapons and more protection, and Snorri met Thorgrim.
Thorgreen is considered strong by dwarven standards, but due to the age, his beard is not as white as in the game.
His room was extremely spacious, and the desk in front of him was a bit big for a dwarf. It was filled with maps, letters, and books.
The fortress built by the dwarves by hollowing out the mountain had no lighting at all. A solitary lamp only illuminated a small area around Thorgrim, making him look a little small in the wide and dark room.
"It seems that you are recovering well." While Snorri was trying to find his words, Thorgreen spoke first.
"You should follow the advice of the long-bearded elder. My son, I almost lost you. This will not only add a new entry to our clan's book of hatred, but also make me embarrassed to go to the ancestor hall to face
your mother!"
Thorgreen's deep voice echoed in the vast room, bringing with it echoes.
"Ever since I kept the Book of Great Hatred, more hatred has been crossed out than added. The ancestral goddess has shown a miracle after so many years. It must be a good sign to receive divine favor.
Don't worry about your children, protect yourself, practice skills, and accumulate experience. You have awakened the power of runes, which will help you start a career. Maybe one day the name Snorri Thorson will be with those legendary ancestors.
It is praised by the tribesmen."
In Snorri's memory, Thorgrim devoted himself to official duties and battles after he became the High King and announced the liquidation of all hatred in the Book of Hatred. Although he rarely had the opportunity to care about his youngest son, he would always try his best to serve Snow.
Snorri is also eager to prove himself to his father and share the pressure with him.
It was precisely this reason that prompted the original owner of the body to embark on the battlefield as soon as he mastered the power of runes and eventually lost his life.
