Section 249: Promotion (1)
"Your Excellency! Why be so tolerant! ”
The old man was a little irritated by the questioning voice behind him, and the temple guard in front of him pushed open the door of the temple for him, he walked into the hall with his head down, and then turned his head to look at the young mentor standing there: "What about the Mercedesers." ”
"I made him think, Your Excellency, why don't you let our mentor play, how can the prestige of the God of War Church be trampled on like this."
"Did I let you go up and be beheaded by that kid?" The old man looked at the young man in front of him: "Conrad, the God of War Church asked you to take up arms, not to send you to death senselessly, Messel killed someone, this matter is not our fault, but we still have to protect our shortcomings, because we are mentors, we are the protectors of the apprentices, and my only mistake today is that I didn't consider that he would play." ”
"Your Excellency...... Why are you so afraid of him. ”
"A giant hybrid who can have more than 30 points of strength without any blessing spells, who among you can beat it." The old man looked at the young man and asked rhetorically.
The young mentor was silent for a moment, and then looked at his boss with an incredulous expression: "Your Excellency, how can he have more than 30 strength!" ”
"The Bishop of Carter Castle made a point of reporting this a month before the tournament began, and that's why we prevented the kid from joining the tournament as an apprentice, because as long as he was there, there would be only one winner in this edition...... The only mistake I made was that I didn't think that this kid would be in the ring, and that he should be with his little princess girlfriend or something, instead of standing in front of me! The old man coughed twice when he said this: "You are far away, you can't feel the pressure when I face him, obviously so much younger than me, but the killing intent in his eyes is not concealed in the slightest, my old friend is not wrong, he should have been a member of our God of War Church, but the luck of the Goddess of Harvest is too good, two days ago, he even reached an agreement with many guilds and organizations, and our church also participated." ”
"Your Excellency, what are we going to do?" The young man asked, looking at the old man.
"The problem with Messel is that he trusts his power too much, which doesn't bode well, Conrad, take care of him, don't let him get lost in power, I don't want you to cut off your apprentice's head yourself one day...... And me. The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I will resign from this responsibility and quit the church, there will be no place for cowards in the Church of the God of War." ”
"Your Excellency! Please don't! The young mentor looked unbearable.
"The kid named Marin came on the field with killing intent, I don't blame him, because the God of War Church is short-guarded, originally for a low-combat power church like the Harvest Goddess Church, we are nine out of ten, even if we give compensation afterwards, then we have to protect the child as soon as possible, but this time we made a mistake, he is the darling of the Anonymous Clan, and even the Sadistic Blood God has something to do with him, and his record along the way is obvious to all, not to mention you potions-taking children, even those low-level native professionals, It may not be his opponent. ”
"But he's only an apprentice" "No, when he played, he was already the ninth step up. ”
Interrupting the young mentor's speech, the old man sighed: "It's very strange, there is no improvement in strength, I just ...... Some of them didn't dare to look him in the eyes, maybe it was the sublimation of his inner ability, maybe it was the strengthening of his spirit or wisdom, and I heard that he had also learned a lot of the Five Ring Technique. ”
The old man's speech stunned the young instructor, and he looked at the old man in front of him and exclaimed in disbelief: "Five Ring Technique! I didn't see the spell badge on his chest at all. ”
"You forget, he is the apprentice of the Harvest Goddess, and even if he learns the Nine Rings Technique, as long as he doesn't go to the Mage Tower to register, he will never be an official mage...... Remember, if such a kid is in the Mage Tower, he is already a full-time mage, and he only needs to learn a six-ring technique to become a mid-level mage, and I heard that he is only fourteen years old...... How much protective power do you think such a child will have around him, you know, Conrad, he is already crushing his peers in this era, and in terms of his bloodline, this child of the people of silver will eventually be an existence that peers of the entire era will look up to, whether it is the Church of the Goddess of Harvest or the Lord of Justice, he will not let him die easily, and even I don't want him to die. ”
"Why?!" The young mentor's eyes widened in the face of his mentor's remarks.
"If he dies in the challenge just now, the Sadist will definitely give us a ton of gold medals, because he will receive the most powerful Chosen Champion ever, a Chosen Champion who knows the coordinates of our world and has a bitter hatred for our world and our God of War Church, he will definitely lead the Sadistic Legion to invade our world, and at that time, our life and death are no longer worth mentioning, and the whole world will pay the heaviest price for our stupidity...... Conrad, remember, the face of the God of War Church is not comparable to all the innocents in this world after all, and we don't need to fight with such children until one side sheds the last blood, and mortals' lives are already difficult, don't make their miserable lives worse. ”
"But sir, what would you think if you resigned and quit the church?"
The young man's speech made the old man pause, and then he smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm so old, I don't care about my reputation, as long as you can be safe, go and tell His Excellency the Archbishop, ask him to accept my resignation, this is the last thing I can do for the Church." ”
With that, the old man began to untie his bishop's robe, but in the next second, a light came from behind him, and the old man saw his apprentice who had grown up watching his eyes wide, and noticed the surprised gazes of the guards, he turned around and saw a shepherd staff standing quietly in front of him.
Pick it up, Mendelssohn.
A voice sounded in the old man's head.
The old man looked around and saw that everyone seemed to be frozen.
Pick it up, my shepherd, for war requires all kinds of strength, and your wisdom and heart are worthy of this power, and since you do not want to be my bishop, take it and shepherd for me the lost lambs, go Mendelssohn, and I will inform all the shepherds, that you will tour the world for me.
When he had finished speaking, the old man found that the world was beginning to flow again, and his apprentice exclaimed, and the guards were already kneeling towards the staff.
The old man was silent, and at last unbuttoned his bishop's robe, which he took off, carefully placed it on the counter, took the coat that the receiver had brought him and put it on, and then reached out and grabbed the staff.
In the increase in strength, the old man raised his head with a reverent face.
May the Lord have mercy.
………………
Marin only learned about his promotion on the way back to church, and Marin's first feeling about this was that he didn't feel anything at all - didn't he say that promotion was to feel the shackles of the next ladder, and then take potions to break through the locks of the ladder and get promoted.
However, Mentor Emmet Selke explained to Marin - first of all, extraordinary career promotion requires taking potions, but some transcendents can sometimes get rid of the shackles of potions and be promoted directly because they have accumulated a lot of experience in the next level.
Such a promotion is blessed, and the transcendent will be exempted from the dangers that come with this promotion, and it is a shortcut that countless transcendents dream of.
"Your transcendent sequence ladder nine is the author, and to be honest, you should be the fifth existence ever to be promoted without relying on potions, congratulations, Marlin." After Tutor Amet Selke finished speaking, he patted Marin's head: "The promotion of the author will give you the blessing of flexible mind, your intelligence and spirit will be improved, according to the calculation of the numerical table, it is to increase the intelligence of two to four, do you feel that your brain is much clearer." ”
As soon as Tutor Emmett Selke said this, Marin just thought about it and remembered the color of Matilda's pajamas the little fox...... Obviously, I added two nights of work, so I looked back.
"That's true." Thinking of this, Marin nodded.
"You see, that's the good thing about long sequences, and the detectives of short sequences, that's just a tool used by timid rich people to brag about themselves, and they will never say which ladder they are on." Mentor Emmett Selke glanced at Marin as he said this, "It's really curious how many stories you have in that head." ”
In this regard, Marin smiled a little awkwardly: "For the sake of the magic carpet in the hand of the Investigation Section, forget whether it is good or not." ”
To be honest, this thing is what Marin is most afraid of now, and its existence makes Marin really understand what it means to know more and more terrifying, and it also makes him understand the true meaning of the phrase fearlessness of the ignorant.
God knows how these goddamn oddities are generated.
"Then again, Mentor Kwasel, I feel like a lot of the transcendent ladder is public, and some are not, why?" Out of curiosity, Marin asked a question.
"That's a good question." Mentor Emmett Selke begins to explain Marin's doubts.
Under his explanation, Marin learned that in the history of the transcendental, the initial sequence of the transcendent was too dangerous, and many people who obtained the ladder would publish their own sequences and ladders in order to go further, and Potions came into being because of this, and later in the later stage of the great development of Potions, in order to avoid those mortals who could not become transcendent from taking potions (usually this is suicide, because the probability of aberrations is terrible), the churches, the Elven Council, the Mage Tower and the major organizations made the Transcendent Treaty together, All the transcendent apprentices will be freely selected and cultivated by the church and the mage tower, as well as the guild, so the newly developed sequences are usually only circulated in the transcendent organizations, and many ancient sequences are very transparent, but these potions are not possible to be prepared at will even if mortals know, even if they know the formula and obtain the corresponding raw materials, it is impossible to successfully prepare them without enough potions foundation.
Even if it was a coincidence, all the ingredients were available, the recipe was available, and the medicine was dispensed, but there was not enough talent, and the result of taking the potion was to become a living person, just like the merchant Marin saw at the harvest festival back then.
Being able to complete all the steps all the way through the level is one in ten thousand, and any one of them is like a child of the plane.
By the way, the only exception is short sequences.
After all, some potion materials that are not very easy to sell can only be sold through this sequence.
