Lord of the Truth

Jura City... after a month...

The Rune masters' training with Zara ended a week ago and they all started to produce large quantities of level 6 fire explosion talismans on daily biases, supported by the Soul Strengthening Technique and the Soul Replenishing Technique.

while Zara returned to drawing the Runes that are currently difficult for others to understand, like the darkness, Vitality, the first and second level spirit Revitalizing pills, and even the level 10 fire explosion talismans...

As for Robin, he spent the past month redesigning the sound rune by merging the one time use seal with the sound pattern to produce the new desirable rune, then *trimming* the oath rune to have only one slot available for use, that way it will be much easier and more affordable for most of the nobles

This was the longest and hardest piece of work he had to do after his agreement about the funding that he discussed with the patriarch and Billy previously...

Although the process was known to him and its steps went smoothly, it took him a whole month to finish, the process of integrating the operating seal between the folds of the pattern was not easy at all, he had to put the seal in a way to affect the entire pattern and at the same time not spoil them, and for both work independently,

then the subject of the oath rune which was even more difficult, as he had to rebuild it from scratch!

When he finished the design of the Single Use sound Rune, and design for the rune of the Single slot oath Tablet, he went to visit Zara and her apprentices immediately

And to his surprise, he found out that the first stage of the academy that can accommodate a few tens of Rune masters was already finished a few days ago and Zara took the new Rune masters and reallocated there...

There he choose 10 out of the 23 rune masters, they were the top ten in terms of spiritual strength, and among the youngest as well, none of those chosen were of the old knights who are close to death.

Then he spent two days teaching those ten rune masters and Zara how to make the single-use sound Rune and the Rune the single-use oath tablet, while the remaining 13 continued to work on the level 6 fire explosion talisman only.

The selected 10 rune masters had a great deal of information about the world of Runes and even some practical experience with drawing the level 6 fire explosion talismans, so teaching them was not as difficult as the first lecture he had to give at the conference hall...

After he is done giving them the blueprints and even staying with them until Zara draws a sound talisman in front of him and tested it together

It was decided that they would spend an extra month practicing the new sound talismans with Zara before they started producing their own works

Just like that, These ten formed the first elite group among the rune masters of this world...

And after Robin was assured that everything was in place, he left them with peace of mind...

and went to check about the other 13 rune masters with an extended visit this time, after a few hours of observing and finding out that they had are already producing fire talismans in good quantities and the productions doesn't seem to affect much after he took Zara from them..

they have already become their own masters and would help each other if there is a problem...

Everything was running perfectly, and thus... he returned to his home silently.

It's time to go back to what he was doing before Billy interrupted him.

-------------

Establishing the law pillars, and breaking through to Knighthood.

Robin has been dreaming for a long time...

Establishing the pillars of the 11th level with something intangible as the path of the Truth was not easy, even though he is almost certain that there is nothing more left for him to explore in the first stage of the path of the Truth

It is still difficult for him to link everything he knows together and have it to be firm enough to become his pillars for the next cultivation levels.

'This will probably take him some time' thought Robin after the first two days in meditating positions...

the first that got to his mind at this stage is that there are a lot of things he wants to do now that are more important than him getting to the knighthood

But it is still a delay he has to go through... he did not want to pressure himself to break through to gain strength or to extend his life, as everyone else does, but to shorten the time for his next research.

It's a long but inevitable investment... and it is more important to Zara than anything else

Robin previously decided to save Zara the Major Law of Life but very soon he realized how naïve he was when he actually started trying to explore this path.

Although the Major Law of Life is not a Master path like the path of Truth, as the path of life is like any other, it has a major law and many minor laws branches... but it is one of the highest known paths without a doubt.

After many attempts since his promise to Zara, he was only able to scratch the surface of the Path and discover the minor law of vitality...

This is also why Zara tries to delay her training as much as she can, she meditates without haste, and doesn't even use energy stones!

she just takes it easy and waits for breakthroughs until they are inevitable and happen naturally...

She doesn't have a law yet that she can study to build her pillars, so there is no point in reaching the tenth level anyway...

And so... for Zara first, and for his future research speed second, everything should be shelved until he finishes his Knighthood breakthrough.

...and just like that, five months passed.

Robin had nothing in mind thought but training and searching for the Truth, but not to the same degree of complete isolation as before...

Most of the time he spent on training and trying the best ways to break through, but he also found time to make a few Runes to gain some profits from auctions as agreed with the patriarch.

He wasn't even aware of how shocked the kingdom and the entire world were when the one slot oath tablets and the one use sound rings first appeared at Jura's Grand Auction...

there is no need to even mention 3rd level Soul Revitalizing Pills that literally had fights broke out over them, Jura City burst into life as never before during these five months!

He even prepared a few ten-slots oath tablets for Billy because so many families came into their minds in the new lands and showed their intentions to swear allegiance to the Burton family after they saw the numbers of those who break thought to the knighthood of the first four families in front of their eyes...

As for Robin's own house, everything was so quiet...

so quiet that Mila asked him to join the Rune Masters' team instead of the boredom that surrounded the house.

After he refused more than once, Mila brought one of the oath tablets herself and took the initiative to swear the same oath the rest of the Rune Masters had sworn before...

Only then did Robin agree to let her join them, he then called for Zara and arranged to have her teach Mila everything she knows about the Runes

but Mila didn't go with her before she hit him in the side of the head and called him a *heartless bastard*...

And this day also was quietly passing at Robin's house, until a knock sounded on the door and someone yelled, "Uncle Robin, there are two men from the royal family who wants to see you."

"The royal family? Oh.. the third year has already begun..? well, tell them I'm busy and have them wait until I come out." Robin shouted from inside the house, he did not move from his place...

"Uncle Robin, they are at the Patriarch's office now, and they have already said that they are willing to wait for you, but the Patriarch asks you not to keep them waiting for too long this time..." The boy at the door replied with an embarrassed voice.

After a few seconds, Robin came and opened the door, then asked "And why is that exactly?"

Robin knows that the Patriarch would not have asked for something like this without a reason, the last time the envoy was ignored for over a month and no one even came to tell him about it

The young man bowed slightly when he saw Robin and replied, "The one who came this time, the future Crowned Prince, Prince William Marley personally!"
