After asking a few tribesmen along the way, Linlong came to a stone house that was twice the size of the other stone houses. After entering, Linlong realized that the stone house was divided into many rooms.
At this moment, in the outermost room, three youths were sitting and drawing something on the ground.
The three youths looked like they were only 15 or 16 years old, which was a few years younger than him.
Seeing him enter, the three of them raised their heads. Their faces were clearly filled with surprise. Then, one of them asked, "What do you want?"
"Mr. Huo Yi of the Huo family asked me to repair this damaged runic tool," Linlong said as he picked up the runic tool in his hand.
The person who spoke stood up and walked over to take the runic tool from Linlong's hand.
After glancing at the runic tool, he suddenly raised his head and said, "You're the newcomer, Linlong, right?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Oh." The youth responded faintly. Linlong could clearly see some hostility in his eyes.
"Alright, you can leave now. Come back in five days to see if this runic tool has been repaired," the youth said coldly.
However, just as Linlong was about to turn around, an extremely old voice came from the room. "Is he a newcomer from the tribe?"
"Yes." The youth in front of Linlong hurriedly answered.
"Then, Li Dong, take a question and test him," the voice inside said again.
"Yes." The youth named Li Dong said obediently.
"Wait a moment." After speaking to Linlong, he walked inside and quickly took out a sand table and a piece of paper. He handed them to Linlong and said, "Draw the rune lines on the sand table according to the question on the paper."
After receiving the paper and sand table, Linlong focused his attention on the paper.
After taking a look, he realized that it was a question about runes. In the Mixed Sky Continent, such questions were very common. However, if the question in front of him was taken to the Mixed Sky Continent, it would obviously be an extremely difficult question.
If one did not have in-depth research in runes, they would not be able to solve it.
Could it be that the level of runes here was so high? Lin Long could not help but glance at the three youths before he seriously began to solve the problem.
Although this question was difficult, it was not difficult for him at all. Hence, after pondering for a while, he began to draw rune lines on the sand table.
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the sand table was filled with Linlong's rune lines.
In the beginning, Li Dong did not care at all and even had a look of disdain on his face. The other two youths merely glanced at Linlong. However, as time passed and the number of threads on the sand table increased, Li Dong began to look surprised. In the end, the other two youths also came over and watched Linlong's every move without blinking.
It was no wonder that they were surprised, because this question was a very difficult one for them, and they had yet to solve it.
Who would have thought that after showing it to Linlong, Linlong would be able to solve it in such a short time?
When Linlong stopped what he was doing, Li Dong couldn't help but take another look at him before quickly walking inside with the sand table in hand.
After a few breaths of time, Linlong heard a cry of surprise coming from inside.
Not long after, an old man who looked to be in his sixties walked out from inside.
This old man was hale and hearty and his body was upright. He did not look like an old man at all, and Linlong could even feel a strong aura from him.
This was an old man who had cultivated his Celestial Qi to a certain extent. Linlong thought to himself.
It was obvious that this was the only Rune Master, Master Zhuo.
As soon as he walked out, Master Zhuo looked very excited and said, "Little brother, thank you so much. I've been thinking about this question for decades, but I still haven't been able to figure it out. I didn't expect you to be able to solve it in such a short time."
Upon hearing this, the three youths next to him were immediately stunned. They had thought that this was a question that their teacher had specially given to them to test them. Who would have thought that even their teacher himself had not been able to solve it?
After the shock, they could not help but look at Linlong a few more times.
Master Zhuo had originally asked Li Dong to take it out casually, but who would have thought that Linlong would really solve it?
Linlong also looked very surprised. He did not expect that this question would stump the only Rune Master in the tribe.
Although this question was a very standard problem in runology in the Chaotic Sky Continent, it wasn't ridiculously difficult.
However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, this place was isolated from the rest of the world, and their knowledge was many years behind that of the Mutian Continent. It was normal for them to not be able to solve such a question.
"Master Zhuo, you're welcome," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"Your name is Linlong, right?" Master Zhuo asked.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
"Then, are you interested in helping me? I'm a little weak on my own. Although the three of them have been in contact with runology for many years, they still can't help much," Master Zhuo suddenly said.
"It would be my honor," Linlong hurriedly said.
He was currently having a headache about how to crack and improve the runic device in his hands. If he came to such a core place and came into contact with the core content of this runic device, he would naturally have more hope of cracking and improving this runic device.
Therefore, how could he refuse?
"That's great," Master Zhuo said happily.
He really did not expect that there would be someone proficient in runology among the newcomers. To him, to be able to solve such a question, the person's level in runology was definitely not far from his. If possible, the person's level might even be higher than his.
This was a great thing for the entire tribe, which lacked talents in runology.
Then, Master Zhuo looked at the three youths next to him and said, "Li Dong, the three of you must listen to Teacher Linlong's instructions from now on."
The three youths were dumbfounded, especially Li Dong, who had shown hostility to Linlong just now.
"Master Zhuo, shouldn't we tell Mr. Huo Yi about this first?" Linlong said.
"That's true." Master Zhuo nodded, then said to Li Dong, "Li Dong, immediately go and tell Mr. Huo Yi that Teacher Linlong is helping me here."
Although Li Dong looked a little reluctant, he still walked out quickly.
More than ten days had passed in a month. Time could be said to be at the point where it could not be delayed. Therefore, Linlong did not intend to tell Huo Yi himself. Instead, he directly stayed here.
Next, Master Zhuo brought him to familiarize himself with the environment. In addition to the upper floor, there was also a basement floor below. Everything inside was related to runology.
