Eternal Thief

Chapter 147 - Renowned Sky Stealer

It is said that a real rune crafter would craft the runic plates itself, and by doing so, the chance of successfully creating an array or formation plate increased by several folds.

Aside from these runic plates, Ace sweep past those techniques and skills, and to his surprise, all of them were on how to craft the rune symbols into special arrays and formations! 

Ace excitedly open one of lowest grade skill but didn't even understand a thing and guess it all because still didn't have any knowledge of rune symbols. 

He carefully stores those techniques and skills to the side for the future. He also found a rune crafter's token of pill flame organization like Vance's and store it away with the other one. 

These tokens can be very useful if he used them perfectly at the right time.

After arranging everything in the thief's space, he swept the system's panel to see another particular panel.

"I still have over fourteen hours before the break of two days. I should open the third part of Heavenly Rune Crafting first and, in two days of break, practice the camouflage steps. I should gain low-level mastery before going to the capital, it will enhance my escaping ability many folds." Ace mumbles to himself as he planned. 

As for buying the second mask, Ace completely forget about it since he had some time, and he didn't plan on going to the capital soon. 

He has already decided to stay in this cave and practice rune crafting and camouflage step until the registration began, three months from now. 

Besides, he knew it was going to be very noisy when they began searching for him, so it was a wise move to stay here until the commotion about him dimmed down.

After calming his thoughts, he opened the third part of the heavenly rune crafting manual, Basic Myriad Rune Symbols Encyclopedia. 

'It finally opened this time without any resistance.' Ace thought with ecstasy. 

'Basic Myriad Rune Symbols Encyclopedia, the complete encyclopedia on every foundational rune symbol and its structures. There are twelve tires of this encyclopedia and I have assessed to Tier-1.' it did not surprise Ace since he has predicted something like this before. 

'In the first tier, there are four essential element runic symbols of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. 

'First one is the Earth Rune Symbol, which is the combination of three runic structures. The second one is the Water Rune Symbol, which is the combination of 5 runic structures. The third is Fire Rune Symbol, which is combined by 9 runic structures and last is Wind, which is combined by 11 runic structures.' Ace frowned after studying this information. 

These runic structures are the key here because these special runic structures are the ones that give the runic symbol its specific ability and elements. 

Because if one had light element soul Qi that person could only create light element symbols and that's where these runic structures came to being. 

If one can master the structure of every element, it can create any type of runic symbol and combine them into arrays and formations. 

But Ace was not at that level yet. He had to first remember those structures and create them with his soul, Qi. 

'This is an arduous task to control my soul Qi so precisely to the point of perfection, if I even blink, my effort would be wasted. Heh, I expect nothing less from Heavenly Rune Crafting.' Ace laugh wryly, but he was going to master this no matter what.

After that, Ace immersed himself in studying the Earth Rune Symbol's runic structure. 

However, Ace didn't know the runic structures he was learning at this moment are the very essence of those elements that existed between heaven and earth! 

To this day, no one has ever got these perfect runic structures of elements. That's the actual reason for Ace's rune crafting being Heavenly!   

Without these perfect runic structures, even with heavenly Qi, those runic symbols would never be called perfect! 

----

While Ace was studying the third part of Heavenly Rune Crafting earnestly.

A piece of shocking news was released to the public of the entire Middle Lands! 

The most astonishing part from whom the news came from, well, it was none other than Pill Flame and Beast Calling, two giants below royal lands! 

This news was about a newly emerged notorious thief who called himself 'Sky Stealer' and his trademark was a dark owl mark which he tattooed on his victims' fingers!

Furthermore, this mark was impossible to remove even after cutting one's finger. Pill Flame Organization itself confirmed this news!   

This thief has robbed a Rune Crafter and a Beast Masters of both organizations and engraved that impossible-to-remove mark on them. 

Both organizations were furious, and they both declared a reward on that's Thief!

Anyone who can provide accurate information about this thief will get 1 Million Middle Qi Stones. If anyone can capture him alive, they can claim 50 Million Middle Qi Stones. 

As for his head, the reward was 100 Million Middle Qi Stones!

Many powerful cultivators and titled families move by this and all of them begin a search for this so-called Sky Stealer, like made dog. 

Both organizations provide his portrait. It was Javier's face, of course.

This news was released to the public one month after Ace robbed Olivia's group.

But this news didn't last long because even more shocking news surfaced just a week after and it was about the same person! 

This time the news was this thief didn't just rob a Rune Crafter and Beast Master or an Earl of a tiny kingdom. Before this he robbed the most renounce Azure Alchemist of middle lands, Vance Golden! 

This wasn't the end of this shocking news. The main part was this thief stole something very important from the pill flame organization. As for what it was, the organization didn't announce it.

But the Thief's bounty skyrocketed after that.

Anyone who can provide accurate information about this thief will get 1 Million High Qi Stones. If anyone can capture him alive, they can claim 50 Million High Qi Stones and a grantee seat in the Pill Flame Organization's empire-level branch! 

As for his head, the reward reached 100,000 Peak Qi Stones and 10 grantee seats in the Pill Flame Organization's empire-level branch!

This news flabbergasted even empires! 

Everyone was wondering just what could have that thief stolen that the organization was going to such a length to capture him and retrieve that thing. 

Nevertheless, now even empires and top kingdoms of middle lands join the fray for the thief's hunt. He was now a walking piece of treasure. Whoever finds him will get everything. 

They could just take the thief's everything and no one would ever know or they can exchange it with the organization for fame and riches!

Inside a lavishing Palace Grand Hall, 

"Royal Brother, don't worry. He can't escape now. The organization is taking it seriously after I provide the formula of Blood Rose and show them that bastard portrait and tell everything about him. 

"I heard, even the Flame Master came of out his close door cultivation after finding out that thief managed to escape the low sky-changing border alive!" The person who was speaking looked like an old scholar. He was none other than Vance Golden! 

"How did they believe you so quickly?" The handsome middle-aged man sitting on a golden throne spoke at this moment. 

He was the Golden King of Golden Hammered Kingdom, Gale Van Golden! 

"I heard one of five Flaming Families got involved and support my claim. I think it is the family behind Green Flame and that mysterious woman. 

"And that slippery rat also stole from a rune crafter from one of these flaming families as well recently. That's why the organization instantly acts and they are even sending Qi River Core envoy to search for that thief." Vance said grimly. 

Truth to be told, he was not happy at all about this. After he returned from the low lands dejectedly, he goes directly into close door cultivation to soothe his hatred.

Since the person was dead, what was the point of hating him and burning oneself, right?

Vance has just recently exited his close door cultivation after returning to his calm self when he heard about the newly famous thief of Middle Land and it was none other than the person who he hated the most, Sky Stealer! 

First, he didn't dare to believe that someone could escape the sky-changing border alive, but when he saw the same owl mark in the wanted poster, Vance nearly had a stroke. 

Without even thinking, he goes to the organization branch in the Golden Hammered Kingdom and told the Pill Master there everything, included the information about Blood Rose and that thief in front of his eyes vanished inside the low sky changing border. 

The Pill Master first didn't believe him and thought Vance has gone nuts but when Vance bring Green Flame into the conversation and demand to confirm with her. He finally moved!
