City of Sin Volume 1 Chapter 27 part2
The Power to Change The
World
Daybreak.
The sun leapt out of the icebergs at the boundaries of Floe Bay, rising up into the sky. A bright
sunshine shot through the window and diluted the rune's magic light, causing Richard's fatigued
eyes to sting. He rubbed them for a bit before he stowed the rune away, leaving his residence
quickly in search of grand mage Fayr who taught him magic formations. He wished to determine
the next step in his studies.
Fayr definitely lived up to his title as a grand mage. He was level 19, with profound knowledge
and innovative theses in the philosophy of magic coming about with fair, genuine ways.
Currently his professor in magic formations, he would also teach him to craft runes one day.
Runecrafting touched on a great many things, requiring a lot of knowledge, but there was no
specific path to it. A thousand years of research had separated runes into seven ranks, with the
first four being considered standard. Elementary runecrafting didn't qualify one to be called a
runemaster, the title only going to those who could craft runes at rank 2 and above. Great
runemasters could craft rank 3 and 4 runes, while anyone who could make rank 5 runes was
considered a saint runemaster. As for ranks 6 and 7, those runes were only conjecture as of
now.
It was still rather early in the day, and few were out and about in the Deepblue. Richard
controlled his heart that was thumping with joy, walking hastily away from the teleportation
formation to stand at the entrance to Sharon's personal region in the upper layers.
Two giant copper gates guarded the entrance, but they were open be it night or day. There was
a magic puppet on each side, and one directed its ruby eye at Richard as it shot out a crimson
ray of light. The emblem at the corner of his magic robes immediately lit up in response, and the
puppet immediately returned to position as the light in its eye dimmed.
The upper layers of the Deepblue were reserved for the legendary mage, while the layers just
beneath were allocated to a few greatly qualified grand mages in a display of Her Excellency's
generosity, trust, and fondness. The daily lives of seventeen grand mages revolved around this
area that had five full levels of the tower, and Fayr was one of those mages.
