Chapter 202: Runes

Ezra went back to training and three days melted away quickly.

"What did you find out?"

"For one, I do not have the expertise to solve your problem"

"Hmm" Ezra huffed, but Bard quickly added…

"But I do know someone that does"

"He's a Master rune smith. He says runes could be used to augment those things"

"Ok" Ezra nodded.

"But he says he'd have to come and see you personally before he can give any claims of certainty"

Upon receiving Bard's words, Ezra's expression crumpled.

"I won't allow anyone to work on my body"

"This person is a close acquaintance. I can vouch for him"

"It's not that. I just can't allow it"

Upon Ezra's firm rejection, Bard chose not to push any further.

Meanwhile, Ezra's brain whirred, revising Bard's words.

"How sure is this person that runes can help me?"

"Very sure"

"Then-"

Ezra thought his next words carefully.

"-call him over, but instead of checking my body, I'll have him teach me runes. Surely that can be arranged"
