Chapter 112 Dare to bully my crow?
Rune's workshop became dim, and his workbench was filled with all sorts of strange materials, such as crystals that shimmered with an eerie light, strange herbs that emitted a peculiar smell, and several kinds of metals.
Rune is currently crafting a cane—a cane that can suppress his magic. Some time ago, after using a magnetic field generator for weight training in the Harry Potter world, his precision in manipulating magic has been effectively improved.
More importantly, however, he felt he was finding it difficult to control the surging magic within him. Before finding a powerful enough way to unleash his magic to his heart's content, he needed to find or create an item that could suppress it, and a staff was undoubtedly the best choice—it was easy to carry and had a large enough surface area for runes to be written on it.
The main material of this staff is N metal. This metal has the ability to overturn all science and magic. It can not only counteract gravity and allow the user to fly, but it can also be used to attack ghosts and monsters, and even has a certain restraining effect on magicians.
When Naboo first gained pure magical power and ascended to the position of Lord of Order, he was unable to withstand the enormous magical energy and ultimately had to choose to parasitize a new object that could contain him. The helmet he ultimately chose contained N metal.
The two N-metal daggers were instantly melted by the cursed flames called Fiendfire. A considerable amount of black, viscous substance was removed, which may have contained some magical materials unique to the Court of Owls, but Rune ignored it.
As time passed, the shapes of the two daggers gradually changed, their outlines became blurred, and they eventually merged together to form a slender, golden metal rod. This metal rod was 1.5 meters long and was engraved with 999 inscriptions, most of which were related to prohibition, forbiddenness, and sturdiness.
Rune took a small piece of Uru metal, melted it into liquid, filled the space where the inscription was, and formed a handle on top. On the handle was a snake head, its scales clearly visible, perfectly fitting the shape of Rune's hand.
He then picked up a piece of secondary adamantium alloy and, under the influence of powerful magic, coated the entire staff with an adamantium coating, greatly increasing its hardness. The outermost layer was wrapped in black walnut wood, but this wood was far superior to its kind—it had been imbued with excessive magic by Rune over a long period, significantly increasing its hardness while…
It also possesses an extremely heavy characteristic. However, its primary function is to make the staff more comfortable for runes to hold.
After all, a cane that is too light will lack a good feel.
Finally, after Rune personally polished it, a perfect anti-magic staff was completed.
He picked up his cane, and magic penetrated the surface of the adamantite alloy, deeply activating the inscriptions within. In an instant, an indescribable feeling surged through him; a suffocating atmosphere filled the surrounding air, as if an invisible lock was tightly binding him. This feeling was like being underwater, with the omnipresent water pressure pressing down on him.
Unfortunately, the oppressive feeling Rune could sense was only about three times stronger than that of the magnetic field generator. Under such pressure, perhaps all wizards in the Harry Potter world would be unable to cast spells, but for Rune, it was simply a matter of expending a little more energy.
However, this is enough. One shouldn't be too greedy; after all, this is just a tool for forging, and Rune didn't intend to waste too many materials on it.
Rune gently placed the cane in a corner of the workshop. Beside it were a blood staff, a brass knuckle inlaid with four green transparent minerals, and a strangely shaped ring with two gems inlaid on it.
More than a month has passed since Raven arrived at the farm. During this time, Jonathan once again used his connections to register Raven and successfully enroll her in school. However, whenever the sheriff sees Jonathan, he jokes that his house is practically a kindergarten, and some officers even ask Jonathan when he's considering adopting another child.
Raven also worked as a servant under Rune, learning some magic along the way. Just as Rune had expected, the number of times her dark magic went out of control decreased significantly during her studies. Recently, Rune even allowed her to go to the ice cream shop alone without her necklace. However, Raven's mood was noticeably low during this time.
Rune looked at the items on the wall and asked, "What's wrong?"
The raven, who had somehow appeared behind him, simply shook her head, seemingly unwilling to discuss the reason for her bad mood.
Rune turned around, his cold gaze like an icicle piercing the girl's heart: "Why won't you say? Let me guess, is it that you've fallen for some boy, but he doesn't like you?"
Looking at Raven's calm face, Rune shook his head: "It seems not. So it was those social Darwinists, those bandwagon bullies, who isolated you?"
He saw something in the girl's eyes and nodded: "I understand, but you don't really need to worry about them. Those beasts are like maggots in expired cans—they think they're in charge, but they're just products of a rotten environment."
The people who laugh at someone's weight, family background, or sexual orientation today may become pathetic figures ostracized in the workplace tomorrow.
"Those little beasts are unloved by their parents, their report cards are cleaner than their faces, and the only people they can control are those weaker than them. So when they use ridicule, exclusion, and violence to fill the emptiness in their hearts, it's like a pack of hyenas hunting a lone antelope—because only when they bully others can they briefly forget how pathetic they are."
Rune ruffled the girl's hair. "And you, you were born different from them. I'm not saying that wizards with magic are inherently nobler than humans, but what I'm saying is that when a person possesses power and can use it with restraint and caution, then he is stronger than the vast majority of people."
"But you don't need to put up with this at all. No one needs to become someone else's punching bag because of their charm." He looked at the raven and smiled, but his smile was chilling. "Do you know how I treat these people? Like I said, they're just a bunch of hyenas. When hyenas encounter a lion stronger than themselves, they kneel down and wag their tails in submission."
The raven's eyes widened. Rune gently tapped her head, and the raven's beak moved as if she wanted to say something.
But she fainted before she could say anything, and was caught by Rune and placed on the bed in the bedroom next door.
"Alright, leave the rest to me."
