Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1118 1121: Ruby

The research institute has always been researching various things.

From items that could be used for daily lives to items that could only be used during war time.

Their scope was really wide.

Of course, as time passed, Mr. Jones also expanded the research institute into several sections. In this way, the experts could focus in the area they were good at and would not be disturbed by others who came from a completely different area.

Ruben often came to the research institute in the past year and he walked down the road familiarly towards one location.

"Professor Brown," Ruben greeted the old man in front of him kindly. Professor Brown was one of the best biological researcher in the entire City A Base and he was also someone who always kindly share his result with others without any airs.

It could be said that many people on City A Base deeply respect this professor.

Ruben was not an exception.

Right now, Professor Brown had taken a few more students and were teaching them some things related to the magic beasts' parts that they were studying. These students were all very talented and Professor Brown hoped that they could realize what they were envisioning from the beginning.

When he heard his name called, Professor Brown raised his head. When he saw Ruben, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"This should be all for the time being. I'll see you all after lunch," Professor Brown said.

The students looked at their watch silently and saw that there was still an hour before lunch time. But since Professor Brown had said that, none of them refuted him and agreed to Professor Brown.

"Yes, Professor Brown!"

With that, the students quickly leave.

Professor Brown sighed and glanced at Ruben in front of him. "That child is still in the laboratory. Your access should allow you to enter the laboratory."

There were several layers of access for the laboratory and Ruben's access was naturally limited because he was not exactly a member of the research institute. But since he worked as Mr. Jones assistant and also has a lot of knowledge of runes that were useful, he was given special access.

For some laboratory that didn't really require high confidential level, Ruben could still come in and take a look from time to time.

"Thank you, Professor Brown." Ruben was grateful to Professor Brown's kindness.

"It's nothing." Professor Brown shook his head. "I should be the one thanking you for always protecting the people in the city."

He knew very well that the grand magic beasts' tide was already over.

For people in the research institute, they could still hear news from outside but many of them didn't usually pay that much attention. Because they were too busy with their own project to care about those commotions.

But this time, Professor Brown had to pay attention.

Because Ruby always looked up at the news from outside.

And when her friends came to pay her a visit last night, Ruby completely understood what had happened.

"It's our job," Ruben replied helplessly.

From the moment he decided to become Mr. Jones assistant, he knew very well that he could not shy away from this responsibility.

Even if he actually wanted to go back and not manage such things anymore, Ruben knew that it was absolutely impossible.

There were too many things that he had to personally oversees because he had been in this position for a long time.

*sigh*

Sometimes, Ruben even wondered whether it was worth his time to work so hard.

"Yes." Professor Brown was leading the way and then stopped. "She's inside and was busy with her new project. I think it's related to some high ranked magic beasts, but I don't ask the details."

After Ruby completely proved her worth, Professor Brown no longer carelessly enter the laboratory anymore.

He knew very well that his student had grown up and no longer need his tutoring. So it would be better to let her imagination and creation lead her further towards the future rather than following his old fashioned idea.

It would be more meaningful to teach more students and let them soar on their own.

"Thank you, Professor Brown."

Ruben knocked three times before he used his card to enter the laboratory.

From the moment he walked in, he could see Ruby was standing in front of the computer in front of her. But the other equipment was still neatly arranged on the side and there was no sign of use.

It seemed that while Ruby was staying in the laboratory, she was not exactly in the mood to continue working.

"Ruben." Ruby raised her head and pursed her lips. "I'm fine."

She will be fine.

It was not like Riya often came back either.

For some reasons, she and Samuel often went out on their own and would not go back for months. It was not like the others were not worried for them, but they knew that it was useless to worry.

They should believe in Riya more and trusted that she would go back.

In the past, no matter how long Riya left, she would always come back safe and sound. They could have a gathering or just joke around in their chat group, feeling that the days were really fun and fulfilling.

After a short gathering, everyone would be busy with their own life and Ruby was clearly not an exception.

She likes being in the laboratory.

Staying here and working hard on her own or with other researchers gave her a strong sense of fulfillment and perhaps also a sense of missions.

Because she knew that what she made might be useful for the future generation.

Ruby was very happy for that.

When the grand magic beasts' tide first happened, she was a bit nervous and worried but she could only stay in the laboratory. She will pay attention to the news from the frontline and when she received the news that Amelia passed back... Ruby felt that the sky was truly falling down.
