Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Problem of the Soul Master

With the release of Demon Fighter and Soul Master, the new class system has attracted everyone's attention. And almost all of them are starting to try to find these two new careers. After all, the 'new spellcasting system' and '100% strength' are very attractive to Ryan now. Whether it's the low tide of magic or the erosion of the Breath of Destruction, it is an urgent problem for Ryan.

The two new classes launched this time are almost to the point of addressing these two issues. Many people are pinning their hopes on these two new careers. And the Demon Fighter and the Soul Master did not disappoint the people of Ryan.

Through the Magic Pattern Device, mages can spend less mental energy to cast spells of the same level more easily and quickly. It can be said that even in the non-Demon Tide period, the Demon Fighter will not be inferior to the traditional mage, let alone in this special period.

According to incomplete statistics, after taking up the position of Demon Fighter, the casualty rate of the two most dangerous outdoor jobs, repairing the cracks in the bedroom of the Breath of Destruction and hunting Warcraft, dropped by 30%. According to the people's optimistic analysis, the casualty rate of outdoor workers will further decline after the inauguration of the magic fighter.

And the profession of the Soul Master, which is based on the breath of destruction, did not disappoint people, although the strict employment conditions have not allowed the number of Soul Masters to grow rapidly for a long time, but every Soul Master after the inauguration has played a huge role in the dark side of Ryan. They are needed for Dark Side Exploration, they are needed for Dark Side Anchor Points, and even for beginner and intermediate mages to learn Dark Side spells, they need them to maintain safety.

According to the Parliamentary Research Institute, the Soul Masters have now postponed the date when Ryan was completely defeated by the Breath of Perdition by two years. If the number of Soul Masters doubles several times, the chances of Ryan being able to escape this catastrophe completely will be much higher.

Almost everyone who got their hands on this statistic was overjoyed. Those who know are almost all worried about the impending end of Ryan, and it can be said that the repeated attempts, whether it is exploring the dark side, transforming the elemental plane pool, or the new class system, are almost all in order for Ryan to have a greater confidence in surviving this difficulty.

And now they seem to see the hope of victory, and they don't have to wander in the astral plane on the Hope, and they don't have to risk being lost forever to smuggle in the dark side.

"Sean, Morris. The Soul Master, led by you, has played a huge role that we never thought of before. If Ryan survives this catastrophe, you will be more than all of us, and you will surely become the greatest arcanist in the Fourth Arcane Empire. Douglas congratulated Sean and Morris in his office.

"No, Your Excellency. The Soul Master is not as good as you think, and I'm about to ask you to react to the situation of the new week. Sean didn't take the congratulatory words, but said a little solemnly.

"What's the problem, Sean?" Douglas asked.

"There are problems with the psychological condition of many soul masters." Sean said straight to the point: "The threshold for the inauguration of the Soul Master itself has been raised, but this is not enough. According to our statistics. At present, the soul master who has been exploring the dark side for more than 100 hours has more or less some psychological problems. And the soul master who has been exploring for more than 150 hours has even developed the problem of cognitive impairment caused by overdose of Breath of Sinking in the early stage. A total of 805 soul masters who have explored the dark side for more than 150 hours, as of this early morning, a total of 117 have been judged to be no longer suitable for dark side-related work, and the remaining 688 are also required not to be in contact with the dark side of Ryan for more than 4 hours a week for one to three months. At present, an emergency rule has been issued that the soul master shall not explore the dark side for more than 50 hours per week. But in the long run, the psychological condition of the soul master is still worrisome. ”

"After all, the Soul Master is a newly developed profession that didn't exist before. Such a problem was not expected by anyone. So do you have any remedies? Douglas asked.

"We've raised the entry requirements for the Soul Master to that of the Eighth Ring Mage, and we're asking for the Dark Side A-level exploration qualification. And the psychological problems that the soul master has to face that have been noted in the employment instructions. In addition, regardless of whether the soul master is exploring the dark side or not, he must have a psychological examination once a week, and if he explores the dark side, the frequency of the examination will be increased to once every three days. Sean said.

"That's all there is to it. Later, the two of you will come with me to the Mobile Mage Legion again, and tell them that the plan to postpone the Mage Regiment's appointment as a Soul Master. Douglas said.

The Mobile Mage Legion is a mage group that was reorganized by Extreme Flame and Crystal Water after the last Elemental Riot, with Brown, the former leader of the Extreme Flame Legion, as the leader. Now there are only three mage legions in the Empire. Two permanent teams are stationed in the Floating City and the Dimensional Elemental Pool, and this Mobile Mage legion acts as a firefighting unit.

When the Soul Master first came out, Brown had proposed that some of the Mobile Spell Legion be appointed as Soul Master, but the Council refused on the grounds of stability. I have to say that this prudent decision is very wise.

Subsequently, Douglas and his party explained the matter to the Mobile Mage Legion, and fortunately, the mages of the Mage Legion generally expressed understanding. After leaving the Mage Legion, Douglas returned to the council to handle government affairs, and Sean and Morris returned to their resting place to continue refining and modifying the Soul Master. According to Douglas, he would report the situation to the council to see if he could get one or two archarcanists to assist with the study.

The next day, Douglas took a break after taking care of his business in the morning, as usual. However, this was interrupted by Dawn's urgent report soon after. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you have just received news from the 'Ethereal Wind' mage legion. A total of 13 Soul Masters were judged to be unfit to explore the Dark Side, attacking the Plane Elemental Pool of the Wind Elemental Plane. All of them have now been captured. ”

Douglas was even a little stunned when he first heard the news, wondering if he had heard the fake news. Even at such a critical juncture, Ryan has never had any chaos except for the last Elemental Riot that suffered the loss of Breath of Destruction's lack of cognition, and there has never been any internal turmoil. Douglas, who reacted, was simply angry. He couldn't understand what the thirteen soul masters were thinking.

Indignant in his heart, Douglas even used teleportation techniques that were considered inappropriate for outdoor use during the low tide of magic to get to the first scene faster.

Soon, as the ripples in space subsided, Douglas appeared at the headquarters of the Ethereal Wind Spell Legion. The scene appears to be very peaceful, with no visible signs that there was a recent riot of thirteen people.

"Ben, tell me what the hell is going on!" Douglas asked the Legion Commander of the Ethereal Wind Mage Regiment.

"Your Excellency, according to the information we have just obtained. The thirteen Soul Masters all believed that the Dark Side was Ryan's future, and now they believed that the Plane Elemental Pool was a waste of resources to provide light and heat to the Floating City. So they decided to 'correct' the problem themselves. They demanded that the Dimensional Elemental Pool power the Dark Side of Ryan, and that all Ryan members be engaged in exploring and building the Dark Side. The mages suspect that they have been eroded by the Breath of Destruction. Identification is ongoing. This is a transcript of the previous interrogation. Ben handed the report to Douglas.

Douglas hadn't stopped shaking since he got his hands on the report, and he was so angry.

"Bastard! I'm going to meet the thirteen soul masters who think they're guided by Ryan, and see if they can really bring Ryan 'hope' and 'future'!" Douglas gritted his teeth when he said this, and he decided to hear for himself what the mob had to say. Douglas had a feeling that this time things might not be as simple as they seem.
