“No.”

Yarne shook his head, but seeing the change in Celt’s expression, he knew that he thought he was someone else.

Putting the book back, Yarne said with a smile, “I’m here to deal with some family matters in the Simon Empire. Why, are you interested, Celt?”

“Uh.”

Hearing Yarne’s words, Celt suddenly remembered that Prince Charles had mysteriously disappeared yesterday, and all the guards and servants in the mansion had been killed. Could this matter have something to do with the fifteenth prince?

Celt immediately shook his head. This kind of matter was not something he could get involved in.

Even if Charles’ disappearance had something to do with the fifteenth prince, it did not matter to him. This was the matter for the royal family of the Illumination Empire.

The Illumination Empire was the most powerful country among the nine great empires. It was far more powerful than the Simon Empire. The fifteenth prince was not someone he could afford to offend.

When he thought of this, cold sweat broke out on Celt’s forehead.

“No, no, no.”

Celt waved his hand. “Tomorrow is the wedding of Prince Berg and the number one genius of the Simon Empire, Alice. Prince Berg has always been hospitable and likes to make friends. If the fifteenth Prince is free tomorrow, he can come with me to attend Prince Berg’s wedding.”

Yarne said, “I still have some things to do tomorrow. I’m not sure if I have time. Please forgive me.”

Of course, Yarne would not agree to Celt. Even if he wanted to go to the palace to kill Berg, he would not go with Celt. However, he could make use of him.

“Alright, then I won’t disturb you while you are reading. Goodbye.”

Celt felt a little regretful, but he couldn’t say much.

If he could introduce Yarne to Berg, his position in Berg’s heart would definitely rise greatly.

After all, Yarne was the fifteenth Prince of the Illumination Empire.

“HMPH!”

After Celt left, Yarne’s face was instantly covered with a layer of shadow.

Tomorrow would be the time for him to kill Berg and Celt, but he had to plan carefully before that.

He was only a 1-star rune-master now, and he didn’t have many runes. There were 5-star rune-masters in the palace, and their strength far surpassed his. Moreover, once he was exposed, with his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long. An army would be able to end his life.

At present, the only runes Yarne had were body strengthening, invisibility, and metallization.

The rune effects of physical strength were eternal, but the effects of invisibility and metallization were temporary. They required physical strength and could only be maintained for a short period of time.

Yarne returned to his room and paced back and forth, thinking about how to improve his combat strength.

After his body had been strengthened by the runes, Yarne had not been worried about close combat, but he would try his best to avoid it because it was the most dangerous and also the most exhausting way of fighting.

A person’s strength was limited. Once his physical strength was exhausted, Yarne was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

His metallization allowed him to metalize everything he came into contact with. When he came into contact with his own body, his own body could be metalized. When he came into contact with external objects, he could metalize them. The metalization ability was very powerful, but it was not flexible enough.

If he could control metal, his combat ability would definitely be greatly improved.

In addition to controlling metal, Yarne also planned to add plants, earth, stone, water, fire, and air.

It was impossible for a person to live in the world and not rely on the existence of metal, plants, earth, stone, water, fire, and air. As long as he had these things around him, he would be invincible when he was full of energy.

Just like that, Yarne immediately read out the English for these abilities in his mind.

Control metal.

Control plants.

Control Earth and stone.

Control water currents.

Control fire.

Control air currents.

Six Purple runes written in English instantly appeared in the air above Yarne’s head.

If the rune-masters in the rune world saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked and doubt their own eyes.

Being able to meditate on one rune was already an extremely difficult task, but Yarne had managed to meditate on six runes in one go. Not only that, these six runes were all purple runes of the highest level.

Even the top nine-star rune-masters in the rune world were unable to do this. Purple runes were extremely precious. Being able to comprehend one was enough to shock an empire.

This was also the reason why Berg coveted the purple runes inherited by the Yarne family.

With the help of the system, every rune that Yarne meditated out was purple. If he didn’t know that purple runes were very rare, he would have thought that they were just the most ordinary runes.

If other rune-masters knew that the most precious purple rune had become the most ordinary rune in Yarne’s hands, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Bathed in the Holy Light, Yarne’s body underwent another transformation.

Each rune would change the rune-master’s body, thus extending their life span.

Yarne did not know how long his life span was, but he could clearly feel that his body was stronger, healthier, and lighter.

Let’s test the effect.

Yarne stretched out his hand and pointed at the bathtub that was filled with water. The water in the bathtub swept out and turned into a water dragon in the air. With a thought, the water dragon turned into a crystal clear ice dragon. It gave off a deep, cold aura.

Yarne snapped his fingers and the ice dragon turned back into a water dragon. Finally, it fell back into the bathtub.
