Chapter 14: Discovery of Runite
A few days later, The company split to head their own individual journeys. Siglim went with Jace to find more about the Elven Lands, while Siglim assured Zen and Nate that he would help them defeat Enakhra. Zen and Nate headed to the Edgville Dungeon to help Zen train. Nate gave Zen a Brass Key, which was used to enter a cavern of giants in the Edgeville Dungeon.
There were many giants in Gielenor and this particular type of giants were the hill giants, the weakest type of giants but still quite powerful. Quite tall and lumbering, these giants were menacing but less intelligent than humans. Carrying Axes and Swords of large sizes, they posed a threat to slightly weak adventurers like Zen. The giants were muscular and often had little or no hair at all. Gawping stupidly even when wandering, these giants were even less intelligent than Goblins. Many people killed these giants for their bones, which were in demand for worshiping the gods.
Zen honed his combat experience for a long time by slaying Hill Giants until he had the dexterity and strength to wield Runite Items. However, most of the Runite Ore, the ores which were used to make Runite equippment, are found in mysterious places and many locations are lost in time. The few people who had Runite Items either bought it at high prices or they were an ancestral item in the person's family.
Zen also managed to train a few other skills too. He learned to make Steel Items, he started to make Ruby Jewelry and he even had the strength to start chopping Willow Trees. He also learned a bit of Thieving and was now capable of stealing from Farmers.
Zen made some decent money and had 15,000 gold coins. Pleased with the money, he deposited it in the bank. During his training in the Edgeville Dungeon, Zen and Nate also visited the Grand Exchange, the biggest trading spot in all of Gielenor. Millions of items were bought and sold everyday in the Grand Exchange.
