Volume 1 Chapter 61 Promotion
"What are you thinking?"
Back at the bottom of the well, Lorton saw that Thor had been wandering and couldn't help but ask.
"I wonder if I had used the Blood Charm correctly that night against that skeleton warrior with green flames in his eyes, if it would have been destroyed in a short instant. ”
Thor thinks that if the spell works, not to mention that a blood spell is only worth five silver coins, even if it is worth several times, after all, the powerful skeleton warrior that night left an indelible impression on Thor.
But now that things have passed, time will not go back, he is just thinking.
Lately, Thor has been wandering alone in the cemetery, and he is in a mood of being in a bit of a troubled mood.
On the one hand, he was eager to see a green fire skeleton warrior suddenly appear in the graveyard, but he was afraid that some kind of skeleton archer, mage, or other enemy would come that he couldn't deal with.
If he encounters the Skeleton Warrior again, Thor is confident that he will replicate the battle that night and finally obtain the Demon Soul. After all, people are always more sure about what they have done once.
As it turned out, he thought too much, and the enemy that night should have attacked a special enemy, and then the cemetery was restored to its original state, with only a few ordinary skeletons roaming all day long.
Even those ordinary skeletons Thor spared no effort to knock them apart, but they never found any demon spirits, and they never saw a single flame.
"Actually, I admire you for blocking a slash from that skeleton warrior. Lorton said suddenly.
Thor looked up and cast an inquiring look at Lorton.
After the night of the enemy attack, Thor had a few small talks with the crowd. The skeletal warrior's slash was a tough one, but it didn't seem to be enough to impress Lorton.
"It's not easy for you to resist the blow of a first-order monster with the physical fitness of an ordinary person. If it were me, I might not have the courage to face it if I had a choice. ”
Lorton's tone was sincere, not a joke or sarcasm.
"Wait, how do you know Thor...... No, how do you know that skeleton warrior is a first order?"
Hearing Shogoth's question, Lorton's expression became a little strange, and his gaze swept over Thor and Shogoth.
"Don't you know? In the Dark Wilderness, only demonic beasts or some special monsters are hunted and demons appear. The extended meaning of this sentence is that if a demon soul appears, it means that the strength of this monster must be at least at the first order, or even above. ”
After listening to Lorton's words, Thor and Xiugus glanced at each other, and at the same time, they were both shocked,
Especially Saul, he thought of the information about the Saimir brothers brought by Xiugues before, two first-order.
If the two brothers possess the monster-like savage strength of the First Order, combined with the wisdom and dexterity of human beings, then the battle is really no suspense.
It seems that his final revenge has not yet begun, and he has already entered a predicament.
Shoggers obviously thought of this joint as well, and he said with a somewhat low expression:
"Forget it, stop talking about these pointless questions, we won't be able to go to the wilderness ...... anyway. ”
"It's not a big deal to go into the wilderness. Lorton added blandly.
"What did you say?"
Thor and Shogues jumped to their feet at the same time, and they suddenly remembered that Lorton had actually followed his father and a group of mercenaries for a long time in the wilderness, and that Lorton himself was not the kind of person who was arrogant and arrogant.
Still, the phrase 'wilderness isn't a big deal' shook them a lot.
Thor and Shogues are in the stage of their greatest thirst for power, but the various dangerous legends of the dark wilderness are like a huge abyss in front of them, insurmountable.
Suddenly hearing about the wilderness at this moment is not a big deal, like suddenly hearing that the dragon is just a lizard crawler, uh...... Although it seems to be.
"With our strength, are we going to die in the wilderness?" asked Shogues.
Lorton looked down and thought about it carefully before replying:
"No, in fact, with your strength, you can already rank among your peers in the town. ”
"As long as you have a certain amount of hands-on combat ability, really going into the wilderness has nothing to do with strength, and the most critical factor from beginning to end is luck. ”
"An ordinary person can already enter the wilderness with a certain amount of skills, but he wants to train hard for a while longer, accumulate more strength, and make more preparations. ”
So ten years later, the man went into the wilderness, and in the end he still died in the wilderness. ”
"There is definitely a difference between him 10 years ago and 10 years later, he is stronger, he is faster, he has more reflexes, he has more experience. But in fact, as far as the odds of entering the wilderness itself are concerned, it does not increase for him in the slightest. ”
"The main purpose of entering the wilderness is usually to obtain demon souls, which means that you will always face enemies of the first order or above, from the beginning until you are defeated and die. ”
"Let's put it this way, an ordinary person and an ordinary person of the first order are actually two kinds of people, and the difference in strength is too huge. Even if an ordinary person exercises his body to the extreme, he will die as quickly as he would after entering the wilderness. ”
Hearing this, Shoggers interrupted with a sneer:
"Then according to what you said, as long as a person is lucky enough, wouldn't he be able to advance all the way to the ranks, the third-order, the fifth-order, the eighth-order, and finally be invincible?"
Hearing Shoggers' words, a mysterious and dangerous smile suddenly appeared on Lorton's face, which startled Shoggers.
"You...... What do you do?" asked Hughes.
Lorton looked up slowly.
"Entering the wilderness and advancing to the rank are two different things, even if you are given enough demon souls, you will most likely not die in the wilderness, but die on the way to the ranks. For an ordinary person, only the process of promotion to the first rank is safe. ”
After listening to Loton's words, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Thor's mind, and he remembered that the nameless old man had said something similar before teaching himself, 'Any combat profession can be safely promoted to the first rank'.
It's just that at that time, Thor himself didn't have any specific concept of promotion, and he didn't study it deeply.
Now it seems that if this sentence is understood in reverse, it becomes that it will no longer be safe to promote up the first order, so what does this insecurity refer to?
After Thor asked the question, Lorton shook his head.
"Have you noticed that in Grey Curtain Town, no, it can be said that all the towns including this territory only have a few first-order powerhouses, very few second-order, and then only the mayor Elton is third-order. ”
"In fact, the fundamental reason is not the demon soul itself, but the process of advancing to the rank is unstable, and people will die, and from the first order to the second order, the mortality rate will always exist. ”
"Oh, to be exact, not dead, but rather to say that they go into a deep slumber and never wake up again, for unknown reasons. ”
"Just last year, there was a sleeping first-order professional at the foot of Bat Mountain, and I heard that he failed on the road to the second-order from the first order to the second order. ”
That person was lucky, he had a wife who never left him, who had been silently taking care of him for eight years, and his family had fallen from solid to destitute in the end. ”
It wasn't until last year that his wife died of a serious illness and no one would take care of him anymore, that some people in the town stepped in and sent him to another world after some discussion. ”
So, there doesn't seem to be much difference between this perennial slumber and death. And I've heard some similar examples on and off over the years, and that man is not alone. ”
"So at the end of the day, going into the wilderness to get a demon soul and advancing to the two things, the danger goes both ways. It's like two levels, you pass the first level, and you have to pass the second level. ”
After listening to Lorton's words, Shogues and Saul's thoughts were a little confused for a while, as if they had inadvertently suddenly gained insight into some big secret of this world.
