The wind howled outside, but the endless research in the workshop left Ron feeling both exhausted and fulfilled.
Clearly, in this Extraordinary World, true security could only be achieved through mastering power.

He rubbed his sore shoulders after six hours of continuous work.
On the workbench in front of him, dozens of metal plates were neatly arranged, each engraved with runes in different configurations.
