Chapter 15: Choosing the Way
"Violence doesn't solve everything, but violence can solve the people who create it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It is impossible to verify who originally said this sentence, but the fact that this sentence has been circulated so widely proves that it is at least regarded as the truth by some people.
Rorschach is not a person who likes violence, but now that violence has come to the door, reasoning with the other party........ no matter how you look at it, this is not a peaceful society under the rule of law.
If you don't have enough protection for your own "violence", you can only shrink behind others and become a drag.
I can't even protect myself, and looking for clues to Luo Li is naturally empty talk, so it's better to roll up and go home.
"I have to have enough strength to protect myself in a short period of time. ”
In fact, Rorschach had this idea for a long time.
After all, from the moment he was ready to come here, he had already been mentally prepared to deal with the dangerous future, and the MP5 submachine gun that was smuggled into........ regardless of the customs treating it as a toy, after determining the lethality of the firearm to the strong, Rorschach also sold it to a toy store.
"The dwarven muskets of the ....... 500 years are more powerful than the firearms of World War II, and the world is really not scientific at all. ”
Despite the setbacks from the start, Rorschach had no time to stop. ,
These days, his time has not been in vain, although he is still in the novice period of hitting walls everywhere, but gathering intelligence is the basis for making judgments.
In fact, you can get a lot of useful information just by attending classes normally, chatting, and asking tutors and seniors every day.
Just by integrating into this society, becoming a member of this society and team, there will naturally be information flowing through you.
Although there were a lot of jokes, the naughty "bad student" was particularly memorable, and he made a few ugly invitations, which accelerated Rorschach's integration into this society and this school.
It's been almost a month, and Rorschach has gained some understanding of the common sense of this world.
"Warriors, mages, thieves, priests, knights, paladins, this is really a traditional fantasy world, although it is not fantastical at all. ”
Every civilization has its own trajectory, which is the history of the past, but it is also the starting foundation for the future.
Every profession is the path that the predecessors have walked, and it is also the most orthodox and stable way to grow along the career route........ after all, the predecessors have pointed out the difficulties, advantages, and disadvantages, which is easier than their own blind journey.
Every profession includes a number of skills and skills that must be mastered.
Just like the driver profession on the earth, you will definitely drive, and Maozi drivers will also have to take the drunk driving test........ It's not me messing with blacks this time, they really have a DUI license.
Ahem, to get back to the point, if Ash had a thief who wouldn't pick locks, pickpocket, or sneak in the shadows, he would also be laughed at.
The system of professionals, one order at a time, has grown slowly and zigzagically and always forward, and has matured quite well in Ash's long history.
Even in the cosmic age, the growth of the individual is still rooted in the soil of the past.
But the more he learned, the more chilling Rorschach became, because he found that the gap was already in front of him.
This is a relatively complete pyramid-shaped growth stage, and the strong people in this world are not "magical" at all, they are all explored step by step, step by step.
Magic, martial arts, and science and technology need to be honed and specialized, and time and talent are all nutrients for progress.
No matter how talented you are, it's just that the starting line is a little better than others, and you can run a little faster per unit of time.
The accumulation of what should be paid, the price that should be paid, and the detours that should be taken are still indispensable.
And what Rorschach lacks most now is probably time, and your opponent can't stop and wait for you to grow.
Well, the hard truth is in front of Rorschach, the normal way is too late, and the only way to do it is to use extraordinary methods.
".......At least, there are three more roads, no, I should say only one. ”
When the path of normal growth is denied, the rest of the path can be returned to the road.
"The only way to do this is to rely on external forces. ”
But with the help of external forces, we must also pay attention to methods, the most obvious is naturally with the help of equipment.
"Fortunately, this is the era of magic armor. ”
During the Dawn Holy War, the development of magic mechanics not only made it possible for ordinary people to use and learn magic.
But in a sense, it has widened the gap between ordinary people and professional combat power, because magic mechanics allows professionals to have stronger equipment and auxiliary props.
In the past, it was better to say what kind of ability a person has mastered, than to directly say what kind of profession he has.
"He's a qualified healer druid with a secondary profession as an alchemist. ”
Oh, then he basically has more than three healing abilities, and he should also be able to refine herbs and alchemy medicines, so he is really a good team support talent.
Today, however, the evaluation of its armament is often added.
"He's a Black Iron Shield warrior, and his skills aren't bad, but the Magic Armor is a product of the last century, and the defense module is the latest Black Rock Type III, but don't expect the old model to last long. ”
Oh, the individual strength is okay, the instantaneous output of the equipped force field shield should be good, and the short-term defense ability is worth looking forward to.
But the Mokai model is too old, the power is insufficient, don't count on a protracted battle, and there is a possibility of falling off the chain at a critical moment.
Comprehensive combat power = individual strength + equipment (magic armor), in fact, there is no essential difference from the traditional fantasy world in the past.
The magic armor is just a special magic weapon that can be mass-produced and customized in the new era, and the user's personal strength is still the core.
But it is obvious that the growth of individual strength takes time and sweat to polish, and on the premise that the baseline is not much different, the quality of the magic armor is becoming more and more important.
At this time, Rorschach vaguely knew the reason why Luo Li asked him to come to this school.
This Star Riding Academy, which teaches skills related to magic armor, is probably the most suitable academy for the blank earthlings of their own land to master their self-preservation ability.
"Demon armor is the external force I need the most. It allows me to have the fastest ability to protect myself. ”
Silently put his studies in the more important place in his heart, but in fact, nothing has changed.
With the stacks of grammar, word notebooks, and bookmarks on the table as evidence, and Sunana's malicious conjecture, after determining that the current course study was very helpful to him, Rorschach had worked hard in private these days.
But in less than a month, even the language barrier is not closed, how can you take care of the more and more headache-inducing professional knowledge.
Rorschach initially estimated that under normal circumstances, he would probably take half a year to pass the language barrier, and as for the dragon language and elven language that were more difficult and had to be learned by the Demon Armor Sect........ Rorschach chose to die.
"Headache, do you really want to accept Sunana's advice, go to the temple to worship a god, and then cheat to get some language pack, common sense pack, I can't trust those inexplicable things, and I don't want the self-proclaimed god thing to mess around in my head. ”
Yes, as a young man receiving modern education....... well, it is because he has watched a lot of comics, novels, movies with gods as villains since he was a child, as well as various popular science books to break feudal superstition education, and it is difficult for Rorschach, who is accustomed to atheism, to maintain a good impression and trust in the so-called gods of Ash now.
Shaking his head hesitantly, Rorschach knew that he had no choice, and he was afraid that when he had no choice, he had no choice but to try.
"The second external force is money......
Money is not everything, but it can buy high-level magic armor and high-level components, and can hire thugs and detectives.
If Rorschach is rich and rivals the country, he can do everything without making a move.
But Rorschach silently calculated the cost of living, marked this one, and then added a sentence.
"........ in order not to starve to death, I have to prepare to work. ”
As for buying magic armor, hehe, the weather is really nice today.
"That's not enough, even if you have magic armor and related skills, you must also have a professional ......."
In the end, things returned to the original point, after all, the magic armor is only an arm to increase personal strength, and personal strength takes time to polish, can it take ten years to start from the basics.
“...... No, I remember that some professional growth itself can be done with the help of external forces. ”
The information at hand is complete, which is also Ash's common sense, but Rorschach, who is sure that the conclusion in his memory is correct, is more and more annoyed.
"With the power of gods and demons?"
As long as they receive the Divine Favor/Demonic Favor, these extraordinary beings are willing to pay the price, and the growth rate of classes such as Paladins, Priests, Demon Warlocks, and Summoners is staggering.
But this obviously comes at a price, trading with demons will pay souls, trading with gods...... What is the difference between eternal loyalty, the rule that will dwell in the kingdom of God after death, and giving one's soul?
"In the end, I still can't get around. Tomorrow, let's go to the temple area and determine the language pack first. And even if you are destined to find a boss, you must at least find one that is pleasing to the eye. ”
