Lucien had spent his free time studying runes in the Ancient Magic sections of his MAGIC BOOK.
To draw a comparison, runes were much like Kanji or Chinese characters. Each one carried its own unique meaning and function.
Across the kingdom and other nations, many known runes remained shrouded in mystery. Countless symbols had yet to be fully decoded or understood.
But for Lucien, that wasn't a problem. His MAGIC BOOK provided direct translations for every rune.
In fact, Lucien believed that his CRAFTING DIVISION might now understand runes better than the top scholars from any nation... though that was largely because he had been feeding them translated notes all along.
Given how many runes remained undiscovered or undeciphered, it wasn't surprising that most people considered the field a waste of time or even useless.
But Lucien knew better.
Lucien who was still pointing at Thornel, spoke with calm confidence.
"Like I said. There's no such thing as truly useless."
