The sound of arrows shooting from the strings came from all around, and the hunting competition of the nobles had already begun.

Ofey briefly sorted out Helena's account, Finn's job was mainly to investigate or guard, and Finn's own judgment was basically used to carry out solo operations, and Helena and Cornelia could only help with some auxiliary work as apprentices to handle documents or carry tools.

Whether it is an investigation or a guard commission, it is necessary to use the three high-level power paths of extraordinary objects, runes or secret rituals, and the material of extraordinary matter is required to create extraordinary objects and runes, cast runes and secret rituals.

The apprentices' studies and work have little to do with whether the firm is carrying out specific commissioned tasks, in addition to learning the knowledge of dealing with secret rituals, they are also training their own combat skills, and ultimately to collect extraordinary substances for Finn, helping to make extraordinary objects and runes.

Ofiecher thought for a moment and asked, "According to the church advisors, Mr. Finn is usually entrusted with the protection of the town's secret rituals. Can I think that there is some kind of device in the office that can detect if someone is performing a secret ritual in the town, like the bell I heard last time in the office, and will sound an alarm when someone is performing it?"

"You guessed it, I used the properties of an extraordinary object to create a warning device. It can detect if someone is performing a Tier 5 or higher secret ritual within 5 nautical miles. ”

"At that time, Mr. Finn was not alerted because he was away from home, collecting supernatural substances?" Orfeucher said slowly, "but isn't that what the apprentices should do?"

Finn gave him a deep look: "You seem to be in a serious crisis of confidence. I remember a friend who studied psychoanalysis saying that people who are in danger of their lives are prone to mental trauma, and according to those theories, this is not the pollution caused by mental attacks. ”

Someone was much more serious than me, Ofeicher thought of Casey.

"Coming back to your question, that's purely because I judged that neither Cornelia nor Helena would be able to handle the commission. And......" Finn stopped talking abruptly, "in short, I can't put my apprentices in danger that they can't handle, and go with them." ”

"How does Mr. Finn know that they can't handle it?"

"Half of it is a risk rating, and the other half is experience, and when I heard the commission from the Chamber of Commerce, I made an analytical assessment of the situation described, and thought that the actual situation might be higher than the danger rating given by the other party. ”

"Danger rating?" This was not the first time the original owner had heard the word in his memory, but the original owner's attitude towards the world of extraordinary power was no different from that of ordinary people, and after realizing that it was a term that had nothing to do with his ordinary world, he ignored it and understood the exact meaning.

Finn glanced at the customers and sighed, "You'll know when you start training as an apprentice and training your motivation." But it doesn't hurt to tell you now, the distinguished guests, having scared away a few rabbits, are now clumsily trying to hide themselves from their prey. We don't have to rush to keep up, or we will anger them. ”

At this time, Ofeicher and Finn and the others were standing behind a small gently sloping bush downwind, crouching and watching the guests of the mayor's children not far down the slope hold their breath, bend down and move forward. As for the mayor's child, he walked out of this lowland early, and went further ahead with his entourage, and disappeared.

"You've probably touched the word 'tier', which means rank level, and the smaller the number, the higher the ranking. Finn took out a dried spice stem, held it in his mouth, and rubbed the two fingers of his left hand on the tip of the stem, and it was immediately ignited like tobacco, "This term should have been originally used by the Empire's transcendent affairs organs, so that experts in the transcendent realm began to use this word to classify the intensity range of transcendent affairs of the same source power energy level.

"In the same Tier rank, there is only a quantitative difference in the intensity of the source gas - if you want to quantify, the absolute difference in the strength of the source gas is probably within five times, and there is no qualitative difference. Across a Tier level, the difference between the strength and quality of the source gas will make it impossible for the two to compete.

"I know a lady who is dedicated to making extraordinary things that are practical. This lady has made Tier6 and Tier7 Rain-Calling Badges - oh, and by mention, Tier8 is the lower limit of the Transcendent Rank, and Tier8's Transcendental Objects can only barely achieve the effects that can be created by devices of the same value, which is also the dividing line between whether or not to choose Transcendent materials to make Transcendental Objects, and no one will spend more valuable materials to make items with worse results.

"Tier7's rain badge can specify when a house will rain on the second day in a cloudy and rainy area, during the rainy season, and support it for more than three minutes. ”

Ofiicher couldn't help but comment, "It doesn't sound meaningful. ”

Fein shrugged slightly, "At least the circle of Wonder Creators is a little excited and excited about this. I've heard that the mechanism and mechanism of the implementation of the Rain Summoning Badge is very ingenious, and this kind of peer effect realization that can achieve a similar effect without performing rituals or runes is an important branch of research by the Creators. But I think your assessment is very pertinent.

"However, the Tier6 rain badge can already make it rain in places that are not dry the next day. This caught the attention of many nobles, and as you can imagine, not all land was as rainy as Chahe or south of Chahe Town, and the vast majority of nobles earned their income from the output of the tenant farmers on the land they owned. ”

Ou Fei Yiche said that he had realized some differences in the Tier ranks, and couldn't help but ask: "Then did this lady later serve the nobles and gain fame and wealth." In this way, the extraordinary things of Tier 5 can already have a decisive impact on agricultural harvests. ”

Finn snorted, "She? she's been banished from the Empire. The reason is disrespect to the Lord God and the Church, and an attempt to create weapons against the Empire. ”

"Huh!?" Ofey was stunned.

"If her research continues, not to mention the extremely powerful Tier 2 and above creations, she can create the Tier 3 Rain Calling Badge, a supernatural artifact that can cause severe flooding in places where rivers flood. Even if some people react within half a month, believing that the flood disaster did not come naturally, and quickly solve the problem, the damage caused is irreversible. In the case of the town of Cha River, such a supernatural object can be used upstream of the river, using the terrain to destroy the town in a month. ”

Fein paused for a moment and continued: "At least that's what the Holy See thinks, and the Empire has approved of the Holy See's statement. You must know that the Church is the most important part of the Empire's transcendent organs, and the attitude of the Holy See that all supernatural powers that are not under its control, as well as all supernatural powers that are powerful but not from God, are potential dangers to the Empire and should be quickly controlled or eliminated. ”

Ofeichher suddenly remembered that Finn had at least Tier 2 level extraordinary objects, and at the same time, he was an expert in secret rituals, and it must not be easy for him to get along well with the church. Since the Holy See has such an attitude, the church in Chahe Town is very vigilant against Finn, and it is not because of the character of the clerks here.

Seeing Ofei's silence, Fein received his initial question: "Because of the large gap between the Tier ranks, using it as an unnatural hazard involving extraordinary forces, that is, a hazard rating, there are certain criteria that can be used to quantify, and can be used to plan how many resources to be deployed to deal with disasters or events - but often this rating will underestimate the actual situation, and more material is needed to further judge." ”。

"What kind of danger is the rank so bad that even the head paladin has to be dispatched?Tier2?" Orfiicher asked as if he were joking.

"Tier2 will have the Paladin Captain personally assemble a squad to carry out the mission, but the nest is out?" Finn sighed, "Of course it's Tier1." ”
