At the sa ti on Danzel and Vanessa's side, once they went out of the mansion, right outside the front gate was a carriage with people with high-quality armor waiting for them.
Seeing that Danzel turned around and looked at her.
"Do you know who those are?"
"Mhm, It's supposedly our ride that boss sent for us..."
And just like she said, a knight opened up the carriage door for the cloaked dark elve and dark knight to enter.
While she was carelessness and he was wary of them, the mont the door closed, a faintly blue light traveled through the carriage room.
Recognizing such light, Danzel touched the door and brought out the description.
[High Noble Carrige]: A carriage crafted by a grandmaster carpenter and enchant with magical and physical barriers together with a sound barrier inside of it to keep others from hearing what the people inside talk about.
"A sound barrier, huh?" Danzel mumbled as he scanned the carriage.
"Does that an that others can't hear us?"
Nodding his head in confirmation, Vanessa threw herself on the seat, laying on the whole seat with an arm supporting her head.
Shaking his head, Danzel is seated in the opposite seat normally.
"Hey, you know that you could have asked for new armor and sword from this rich guy, no? I bet even that the quality would be pretty high." She said her previous tone that she used to talk with them was competly gone.
"Was it going to be better than the equipnt that Master Velkir could provide?" He said with an empty and cold tone.
"Pfff~of course not. Even if they did, they would expect sothing in return, even if it was their reward."
"Then there you have your answer. Moreover, I still need Master Velkir to finish my shield and hopefully, those two rewards from those guys will be enough..."
"Heh, knowing how Boss does things, he would make most of those promises, if not even rip them off. I can imagine him using the fact that you saved that kid to drain them more of their wealth." Vanessa said with a mischievous smile on her face.
Danzel also grinned from imagining Velkir ripping those guys off.
"I bet those rewards will be enough to finish that shield of yours. But aren`t you forgetting sothing? One of them was my reward! In other words, you owe now! You are in debt!" She said while pointing her finger at him.
"...What do you want?" Danzel said with a cold voice.
"Oh co on! You know exactly what I want! I want so runes too! You even promised that! But it`s been months and you still have to deliver on your promise!"
"..."
`Did I really promise such a thing?` Danzel asked himself internally.
There was an awkward silence between those two before Danzel gave up.
"Alright, I will do it. But first, you got to show the item." Danzel said with slight curiosity.
His curiosity ca from the ti when he heard that Vanessa possessed an increadible strong artifact of so sort.
Showing a big smile on her face and her purple eyes lighting up with excitent, it was clear that she was really excited about having her request done.
Using the sa hand that was pointing at him, she grabbed her cloak and pulled the fabric to the side, revealing her whole body.
She had a killer body, and her petite yet muscular figure was sure a blessing to behold with one's eyes. And yet mortals could only curse at the fact that all her private parts were covered with so kind of black bandage.
"Here you go, the goods that you asked for." Vanessa said with a teasing and proud tone. She wasn't the slightest embarrassed about showing off her perfect body.
Danzel scanned her whole body, not because he was overwheld with the lust of sothing similar to the like, but because he was confused.
"I am saying just so that you know, but I can't carve combat-oriented runes on paper of leather, at least not yet. I would need so kind of tal to carve runes to it." He said with a cold voice while adding so hope to her by telling them that in the future he might be able to.
If possible, Danzel wanted to pay off his debt so that he doesn't get tangled up in the future. The faster he cut ties with a potential problem the better after all. Also, it wasn't that he was ungrateful for her efforts those past months of helping him out.
After all, she was sent by Velkir to make sure that he doesn't die to unexpected enemies that he couldn't possibly deal with. Allowing him to grow and move towards finishing his evolution mission.
"Hehe, I guess I still haven`t shown you my artifact." She said while extending her free hand to the air.
In the next mont, another batch of dark bandages ca out of the bandages hiding her breast. They extended and slowly moved around her shoulder and then her arm with last her finger.
And then the dark bandages began thighing with increadible amount of force. The force was strong in fact that if her hand was a tree, then the tree would have been crushed and cut in two.
There was also so sort of aura that made the previous bandages look currently like so kind of tal.
"How about this? Can you carve runes to this thing?" She asked, her voice full of hope.
"Give a mont..." Danzel said activating his [Rune Vision].
The whole world suddenly beca gray and soundless.
The only color that was in such a world was his equipnt showing a mix of green, yellow and red and the bright green color of the dark bandage (now gray) on Vanessa's arm.
Deactivating [Rune Vision], allowing the world to be filled with color and sound, Danzel nodded his head slowly.
"Yes...I should be capable of carving so runes into this "armor". Do you have anything in mind of the direction of effect that you want?" Danzel asked as he watched the black bandage open up and slowly slither back on the bandage that hid her breast.
`I don't sense any mana in those things...how do they work?'
"I honestly I ain't too sure as I don't know what the limits of you runes are. I generally want to make my artifact, "Enthralling Body", stronger and tougher. You got anything that ets this that you would recomnd?"
"So a strengthing or defense increase effect? If that`s the case I would recomnd a bunch of defensive runes as I am more skilled on them. By the way, is your artifact able to cover more space than your arm?"
In response, she nodded her head.
"Yeah, I can cover my whole body with it."
"I see...then that makes it easier. My best rune for sothing like this increase the toughness of your armor at the cost of increasing the weight of the armor. Would that be fine with you in carving that rune?
Hearing that, Vanessa's face distorted a bit as if she was told that carving the rune would make her fat.
"Around how much will the weight increase." She said while standing up from her laying position together with a serious voice.
"I would expect around..15% to 20%. I could lower those numbers with enough practice of the rune. You see I recently figured out how to make it so..."
"So you need more ti, huh? Ugh, seriously?" She said annoyed.
Danzel could only shrug his shoulders at her.
"It can't be helped, I just recently found how to make such a rune. The effect is worth the wait in my opinion. More of that if you plan to use an item for a long period of ti."
"Tch~! Fine! Fine! But I will be holding you on that promise, got it!"
"Of course." Danzel said with a bland and cold voice.
`I guess I will have to find ti to improve the [Rune of Iron Fortress]. And here I wanted to practice so of the great runes first.'
The mont he thought about the runes, Danzel froze for an instant.
His ethereal eyes landed on Vanessa who covered herself with her cloak by now.
'What if...'
With a crazy idea sprouting in his mind, Danzel hesitated for a mont. But in the end, he decides to give up on this idea for now.
'If tell her now about the [Great rune of Worlds Gaia], I bet she would annoy until I familiarize myself enough to decently carve the runes. I should first practice with my undead before testing the rune on living beings.'
Danzel had many hesitation and reason not to reveal the existence of great runes. One of them was that the runes had to be carved in the rib bones.
Not only did he never carve runes into bones, but he would essentially have to cut through Vanessa's flesh and carve runes into her runes while she was alive.
Sothing that he bet that most people would hesitate to compromise with.
The fact that he lacked her anatomy of her was also a thing to be concerned about.
He knew most of the vital parts of a humanoid body from fighting mostly humans. He knew what muscle to cut to make one hand useless, which bone to break, and what to pierce to make one sure to stay dead.
But that was about it, and he was sure that this wasn't enough knowledge to basically start surgery.
Healing magic could help, but it was sothing that he didn't have access to. At least for the living that is.
`First of all, I will have to practice with the undead to reduce the carving ti. Maybe I should ask Velkir's help and if he knows healing magic. I bet he will be interested in this rune so he is bound to help.'
Ignorant of Danzel's thoughts of slicing one open and carving runes into their bones, Vanessa lay once again and closed her eyes to take a nap.
The carriage destination is the Dynasties palace.
