Runes came from the remains of the gods.

Although they couldn’t be described or recorded, becoming a rune-master required systematic learning in order to successfully meditate on runes in one’s mind.

The rune world had developed for thousands of years, and there was already a systematic rune learning system, which was the Rune Academy.

Every Empire had a Rune Academy, and every year, the Empire would invest a large amount of money in the Rune Academy to Nurture rune-masters.

This was because rune-masters were the rulers of this world.

Different rune-masters had different abilities. Some had medical runes and possessed superb medical technology; some had elemental runes, such as water element runes, which allowed them to control rivers, lakes, and seas; and some had enhanced runes, their bodies were powerful, and their combat strength was astonishing. They could become outstanding warriors.

Among them, rune-masters in combat had the most outstanding and noble status in the rune world.

This was because the foreign creatures from other dimensions had invaded the rune world. Ordinary humans were completely unable to stop these foreign creatures. Only Rune-masters were able to stop and kill them.

In the past several thousand years, who knew how many wars had broken out between the foreign creatures and humans. Rune-masters had suffered heavy casualties, but there was an endless stream of foreign creatures.

Therefore, rune-masters in combat were exceptionally rare.

At present, it had been fifty years since the last great war between humans and mutated creatures. According to history, the next great war should not be far away.

Every great war would break out in the same place, which was where the spatial cracks appeared. It was known as the Heavenly Battlefield.

The battlefield of the heavens was filled with death threats, but there were also many opportunities. Races from different worlds would gather on the battlefield of the heavens and kill each other. The weak would be mercilessly killed. Only the strong could survive.

From this, Lugh had a slight understanding of the history of this world. At the same time, he was also very curious as to why the gods of this world had suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago.

Just as Lugh was flipping through the books, he heard a few young men not far away whispering to each other.

Although their voices were controlled very quietly, as a 1-star rune-master, Lugh’s body had been strengthened and his hearing had greatly increased.

“Have you heard? Prince Charles of the Xi Zhao Empire had an accident and has mysteriously disappeared. All the guards in the mansion were killed and all the things in the vault were removed.”

“His Highness the King has ordered people to investigate this matter thoroughly, but so far, no one has found Prince Charles’ whereabouts. Tomorrow is Prince Berg’s wedding, and His Majesty the King is in a bad mood because of this.”

“This is not something we should worry about. By the way, have you prepared the gift for Prince Berg’s wedding?”

“We prepared it ages ago.”

…

“Berg’s wedding tomorrow?”

Hearing this news, Lugh frowned, as if a fire was burning in his heart. There would be nothing more satisfying than killing Berg on the occasion of his wedding.

Just as he was thinking about how to achieve this goal, a man’s voice came from behind him.

There stood a young man dressed in luxurious clothes. One look and one could tell that he was a scion of a noble family. He was either rich or noble.

The young man smiled. “Hello, my name Is Celt. Looking at your attire, friend, you should be from the Illumination Empire, right?”

Lugh was wearing Charles’ custom-made clothes. They were very luxurious, and the materials used were exquisite. Moreover, they had the style of the Illumination Empire.

Therefore, this young man mistakenly thought that Lugh was from the illumination empire.

“Hello, Celt.” Lugh remained expressionless and greeted him with a smile. However, a cold trace of disgust and killing intent flashed through the depths of his eyes.

Lugh knew this young man. He was a friend of Berg and was also a noble of a prominent family. Other than Berg, this young man was the person Lugh wanted to kill the most.

This was because Celt was the one who had killed Lugh’s family. Lugh had been personally captured by him and imprisoned. He had even tortured him in an attempt to find out the whereabouts of the Purple Rune.

In other words, Celt was Berg’s lackey.

Lugh still maintained a gentle smile on his face, but a deep cold killing intent surged in his heart. If it was not too obvious here, Lugh had no doubt that he would have killed Celt immediately. But, he could only endure it and wait for the right time.

Celt was slightly stunned. At this moment, Lugh was tall and burly. He was handsome, and his every move was filled with charm. Celt could not help but have the thought of befriending Lugh.

“Friend, how should I address you?” Celt revealed a smile that he thought was good, but in fact, it was so ugly that it made one nauseous.

“Thirteen.” Lugh casually said a name.

Thirteen?!

Celt’s eyes suddenly widened, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes as he looked at Lugh.

He thought that Prince Charles had claimed to be nine in the Simon Empire because Charles was ranked ninth in the royal family of the Illumination Empire, and others called Charles the ninth prince.

The young man in front of him claimed to be Thirteen, so it must not be his real name, but a code name.

An ordinary person definitely did not need a code name. Moreover, judging from his temperament, words, and appearance, this young man was definitely not an ordinary person.

He was also wearing the clothing of the Xi Zhao Empire. Could it be that he was the Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire?

At this moment, Celt was like a detective, thinking that he had already seen through the truth of the matter. However, he was very tactful and did not “expose” Lugh. Instead, he revealed an expression of understanding and said, “Hello, Thirteen Young Master.

“Are you also here for Prince Berg’s wedding?”
