However, he did not give up trying to research and utilize these special permanent runes. What if one day, these things could be turned from waste into treasure?
John could tell what Evan was thinking, but he didn't say anything to stop him.
Young people should have passion, their own ideas, and enough imagination and innovation. There's no need to dampen their enthusiasm.
If things are truly hopeless, they will give up on their own, which is nine or even ten times more effective than his persuasion.
Moreover, in his view, Evan was special.
"This young man's talent is ridiculously high in every aspect."
Perhaps, at his current rate of progress, he really could utilize those permanent runes?
This thought flashed through his mind, and that was his recognition of Evan.
"Take this book back and continue studying it. With your current abilities, it won't be a problem for me to apply for a senior craftsman's status for you."
Then you'll have a private forge, which will also make it easier to research weapon possibilities.
Thank you.
Evan put the book into his backpack, looking forward to his upcoming daily forging routine.
With his own private forge, he could experiment with using his inner fire as a heating element to see if it could alter the weapon, or he could try the runes in the book.
On his way home, Evan noticed that many people were heading in the same direction as him, with a sense of eagerness about to get there.
"Hey lady, do you know what happened there?"
Evan happened to walk up to a woman and asked her a question.
In Peros, the people in the community are mostly friendly and outgoing, without any coldness or distance. Although they come from different families, they are, in a way, one family.
The woman gave Evan the answer he wanted.
"I heard the exploration team has returned. I wonder what good news they have. We should go see them right away!"
"Oh, that's true, I'm curious too."
The exploration team is a group of homeland guards and a few scholars. Their main task is to explore abandoned settlements to prepare for future relocation, and to collect relics from other eras or other worlds.
For example, books. Even if a settlement is destroyed by the Dark Erosion Beast, books are likely to be preserved so that other humans can know about their past.
The same applies to Evan's settlement; even if they are destroyed, perhaps some people will still remember him.
He unknowingly walked onto the street where the exploration team was being welcomed. On both sides of the street stood civilians from the settlement, and the members of the exploration team were carrying large and small bags as they walked toward the management center.
"Everyone, we're back! We've found a new home and brought back new plant seeds!"
The man leading the group was holding some kind of orange-yellow sprouting tuber, which Evan didn't know what it was; they certainly didn't have any here.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, it may not be long before everyone has a wider variety of food on their tables.
"Yay!"
"marvelous……"
He saw that both the onlookers and the exploration team had joy on their faces, and they were full of hope for their future. This kind of light could dispel the darkness that shrouded the people of Peros.
"This kind of radiance... everyone believes that we will have a better tomorrow, and that is the reason why we fight for it."
In this cold and dark world, let us protect such smiles and light, and safeguard this hard-won warmth.
