Chapter XVII: The Meaning of Rank
"This ...... It's so precious, me. Arthur wanted to shirk it, but he was a little reluctant, even if it was only used to summon, the effect of this negative energy stone was far more precious than a dozen pieces.
"Keep it, it doesn't do anything to me, it was originally reserved for you talented young people, except for age, only negative energy can open that channel." Melissa didn't have any nostalgia.
The reason why the negative energy magic stone is rare is simply because it is not produced on the surface, but in some special places, at the forefront of the abyss invasion, there are still a lot of remnants.
However, most of the negative gems are collected by those warlock families as a medium to summon high-level demons and even lord-level demons.
Melissa's negative energy magic stone in her hand still has a lot to do with Arthur after all.
When summoning demons, some demons will come to the Overworld with these negative energies in their bodies, but the difference is that in most cases, these power stones will become the energy mediums of the demons in the Overworld.
If the summoner dies, the contract will disappear with it, and the summoned demon will also be kicked out of the main world and returned to the abyss according to the contract.
There is only one way to get negative gems from demons, and the summoning fails!
Arthur didn't know the source of this power stone, but he still accepted it, he felt that it contained surging negative energy, as long as he opened the wooden box, it could affect the surrounding magic elements, causing it to fall into a flower and become a part of the negative energy elements unique to the abyss.
"Thank you then." Putting away the wooden box preciously, Arthur's right hand was spread flat on his chest, his left hand stretched forward, and he nodded slightly in a ritual between warlocks.
Melissa understood the meaning of Arthur's etiquette, which is often only done between those close to her, with her right hand revealing her heart and her left hand making an invitation, implying that I can give my life to you.
"Go back, don't forget to go to that tower, the wizards have gathered, it will never be meaningless, I have been to this town for decades, and I have only seen it twice, there must be some meaning to this, I hope you can use your wisdom to solve this answer." Melissa finally revealed the truth and sent her blessings.
Only twice in decades? Arthur was shocked as he walked out of the pharmacy, not because the half-elf had revealed his age, but because it meant that this year's Ascending Festival would probably have a different meaning from the past.
"No wonder I haven't seen these wizards in the past, it's not that it's too rare, but it doesn't appear at all." Arthur then understood.
The small town of Morado is not large, and the actual population living in the town is less than 500, more civilians live in simple houses next to the fields outside the town, and the number of homesteaders is only about 200.
Even if you don't know each other, most of them are familiar with each other, and strangers will cause some rumors, magicians, powerful professionals, even if they pass by bigfoot dwarves with pots and pans on their backs, will attract a few days of discussion.
Of course, in Arthur's view, this is definitely a typical symptom of the lack of spiritual civilization and entertainment, just like going out a few decades ago and seeing a foreigner who can get involved with his neighbors for days.
However, this also has the advantage that Arthur often uses these opportunities to 'exercise' his data eye, which is ultimately to increase his knowledge, and at the same time add some data eye comparisons to confirm the meaning of these unknown letter values.
"The conclusion is vague, but it basically sets a boundary." After years of comparison and collation, Arthur finally came to some definite conclusions, which he also used as a division between the professional and the ordinary.
And this first boundary is that all below B are ordinary people, which may be difficult to understand, but according to the comparison, it is found that except for a few talented 'young people' like himself and Ade.
Most of the professionals who travel by, even if they have a B- attribute, are at least the apprentice class of a certain profession, studying, but not yet mature, if they can't reach the threshold of B-level, even if they put on armor, they are just an emperor in new clothes.
Most of the common attributes are between c or d, and the respective characteristic tendencies can usually be seen from the attributes.
For example, poor Uncle Vinnock is an ordinary person with ordinary intelligence and a physique inferior to his wife, and because of his age, his legs and feet are no longer as good as those of young people.
Aunt Ledna is a strong and sturdy female man, don't look at just taking care of the housework at home, but when she does it, she is not even inferior to the average young man.
Well, Arthur doesn't want to admit that he will not be the opponent of his aunt except for the method of bullying women with his feet outside of flying a kite, but from a certain point of view, these letters, which could only be used as a comparison, do have their own meanings.
B- and B are both apprentices, if you want to distinguish them, it is the difference between an immature apprentice novice, and a trainee veteran, Arthur can skillfully draw a summoning circle and complete the summoning ritual independently, obviously has stepped into the level of B-level, which is very in line with his current state, but it also means that he is still a long way from becoming a low-level demon warlock.
B+ level can almost be used as a watershed to distinguish whether or not a real professional at this time, steel knight, low-level demon warlock, magician, swordsman almost all professions are called by this class, and it can also be used as a starting point to become an adventurer.
However, this class also tends to get stuck with a lot of untalented professionals, don't look at B+ to A - there is only a small class threshold.
It's almost a matter of whether you qualify to be called the new homesteaders of an inland town, or whether you can only go to a newly opened and dangerous town in the wilderness, carve out your own land, and risk your life to defend your wealth.
Earthwalker Knight, High Priest, ** Master, Great Swordsman, these titles will be respected wherever they are placed, except for the more special profession of Demon Warlock, almost crossing the A level is equivalent to crossing the Dragon Gate.
However, it does not mean that a demon warlock is weak, on the contrary, the bloodline is often the key to determining the potential of a demon warlock.
In the huge population of low-level demons in the abyss, there is also a great distinction between strength and weakness, summoning the same low-level demons with their own bloodline, there are also strong and weak, the strong ones can even be on par with several advanced professionals, and the weak ones can even deal with the heavily armed trainees alone.
"Arthur, you're back?" Before the boat could be tied, someone behind him patted Arthur.
"Well, you're back, what's the matter, are you going into the city?" Arthur saw Vic behind him and smiled, except for Ade, Peter Ryder's family was the closest to Vic and the smartest.
