Chapter 79: Elizabeth’s Class Begins
As Elizabeth’s maid, Britney had followed Elizabeth everywhere. What kind of world had she not seen?
She had experienced even more dangerous situations.
Although she did not have any talent in the field of rune cultivation and was just a lowly maid, she knew that her own young miss was so powerful and had been defeated by Young Master Thirteen. Then, Young Master Thirteen must be very powerful.
Wouldn’t it be normal for Young Master Thirteen and her Miss to defeat Anthony?
Of course, this logic wasn’t wrong. It came from Britney’s confidence in Elizabeth and Lugh.
But in fact, she had also underestimated Anthony.
If it was a one-on-one, Elizabeth against Anthony, it was hard to say who would have won.
Elizabeth was a three-star rune-master, while Anthony was a five-star rune-master.
However, Elizabeth was superior to Anthony in terms of rune quality.
Anthony only had damage and Holy Shield, two high-level rune-master runes.
However, Elizabeth had several high-level runes in addition to speed runes.
With these high-level runes, Elizabeth might be able to fight Anthony to a draw.
However, it would still be very difficult to kill Anthony.
After all, Anthony was a veteran rune-master.
Britney was purely confident.
On the other side, Elizabeth had already started teaching. “Thirteen, how should I describe your foundation? It’s about the same level as when I was five years old. Your master has simply been too irresponsible. Other than the condensation of runes, he hasn’t taught you anything…”
After understanding Lugh’s foundation, Elizabeth was completely shocked.
With such a tiny foundation, he actually still had that kind of fighting strength.
It was simply unimaginable.
“Cough Cough!”
Lugh coughed dryly twice. Even someone as thick-skinned as him could not help but blush a little when he heard Elizabeth’s words.

Elizabeth had already said it very politely, saying that his foundation was equivalent to when she was five years old.
In reality, he had no foundation at all.
From the time he condensed runes to the time he used runes, he had fumbled through everything on his own. Including the system that directly transformed English into runes, he had had no difficulty at all in condensing runes.
He could transform whatever English he wanted into the corresponding runes.
Therefore, Lugh did not have to worry and had leaped over the first hurdle in learning runes.
However, he was completely unable to learn anything else about runes.
He had never received any systematic learning. The previous owner of this body was a down-and-out noble, so he had no right to go to the academy to learn.
Therefore, Lugh’s runes actually had zero foundation.
“My teacher said that this was a kind of free-range training and development. He said that the knowledge that was instilled had lacked spirituality, so the knowledge that he found and comprehended would be more profound, and it would also be more creative.”
“I didn’t understand these things when I was young. At that time, I only felt that what my teacher said was very reasonable. I only understand it now as I’ve grown up…”
Lugh deliberately kept them in suspense.
“Understood what?”
Elizabeth and the others surrounded him. It was obvious that they were very interested in Lugh’s words.
In fact, they somewhat agreed with what Lugh had casually made up.
Moreover, they felt a sense of novelty. This was the first time they had heard of a free-range education method.
It seemed that Lugh’s teacher wasn’t irresponsible. Instead, he had a unique training method.
Lugh chuckled and said, “I finally understand. My teacher was lazy!”

Everyone was stunned at first.
Then, they burst into laughter.
“Hahaha.”
“Your teacher was too funny.”
Elizabeth laughed so hard that she could not close her mouth. She had thought that Lugh was going to say something important. For example, his master was actually trying to let him learn more advanced rune knowledge. She had not expected that it was actually because he was lazy.
“It’s not necessarily because he was lazy. In fact, what your master said makes a bit of sense. However, the level is too high and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.”
“Lugh, I have to make a learning plan for you based on this foundation of yours. There’s still about a week or so before you arrive at the Xi Zhao Empire. How much you can learn will depend on yourself!”
Elizabeth lifted her delicate little head and spoke to Lugh earnestly like a little teacher.
“First, let’s talk about the problem of raising the grade of runes that you’re most concerned about.
“Actually, the most direct method is to take out some treasures and display your own runes. Then, we can see if the runes have any reaction to this treasure.
“If there is a reaction, it proves that this treasure has an effect on the runes. Then, we can absorb it. This way, we can raise the grade of the runes to a certain extent. On the other hand, if there is no reaction, it proves that this treasure has no effect on the runes.
“The stronger the reaction, the more appropriate it is. This process is similar to the phenomenon of the tone of the communication rune. If you encounter a treasure with the strongest reaction, don’t hesitate and directly absorb it to increase the grade.
“Of course, there is a prerequisite here. The rune can not exceed the blue grade.
“Because once the rune reaches the blue grade, it can not use the corresponding treasure to increase the grade. After all, the highest grade is the purple rune.
“Purple runes can only be encountered but not sought. In the past thousands of years, there have only been a few hundred purple runes.
“Moreover, as the level of the runes increases, the effects of the treasure will continue to weaken.”
After saying that, Elizabeth looked at Lugh and said, “In that case, you should be able to understand.”
“Of course I can understand!” Lugh smiled.
Elizabeth’s explanation was very detailed. If he still could not understand it, he could just find a tree and bash his head into it.
However, regarding the issue of raising the grade of this rune, he had a rough understanding of it in his heart.
Previously, when Elizabeth gave him a review of the treasures that he had looted from Berg’s treasury, she had mentioned that some treasures could raise the grade of the rune.
Now she was just confirming it.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!
