Chapter 169: Nine Rings

"Luo Sheng, you said the same, let's go to the White Tower first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Hearing Rason's response, Hatchel sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything more, but responded with a smile.

Although Luo Sheng has not yet stepped into the silver level, he is considered a small person in the bronze rank, but when he got the emblem given by Quinil himself, to a certain extent, Luo Sheng's identity was already the same as that of Hatchell, and they were all Quinil's personal disciples. Therefore, on the issue of the path related to Rason's future development, Hatchell, as a senior brother, can put forward his own suggestions. But whether Rashon adopts obedience or not, Hatchell has no right to interfere. If you force it, it will be easy for Luo Sheng to have a knot, and the relationship will not be easy to get along with in the future.

"I'm tired of my brother. Seeing that Hatchell did not continue to 'persuade' himself, Luo Sheng was also slightly relieved.

Hatchell's line of thinking is actually the choice of the vast majority of professionals. Basically, every professional who has the ability to challenge for a higher rank will make promotion the first priority. Things like the development of affiliated forces are generally 'side businesses' that are only run when there is still a long way to go before they are promoted, or when there is no hope of promotion.

For ordinary people, Hatchell's exhortation is not wrong, but can be regarded as 'golden advice'. In the Emir Continent, which Weili has returned to itself, the promotion of personal rank, especially the promotion to the Legend level, has extraordinary significance for professionals, and it is far more cost-effective than operating power.

For professionals, every promotion represents a different state of life. Below the bronze can only be used as the base layer, and the silver level can be regarded as the backbone. Only when you step into the golden level can you become a real manager, qualified to hold some of the power. But if you want to really step into the top of the mainland and become a real decision-maker, you must be promoted to a legend. This is the law that must be followed within that top power.

And once promoted to legend, the identity and status of the professional, the strength and prestige will immediately change essentially. Especially in a top-level organization like the Nine Rings White Tower, once you are promoted to a legend, you will immediately gain a large amount of resources and permissions, and you will have a power far beyond the ordinary gold-level operation. Like Bob, the newly promoted legend of the 'Dragon Slayer', he did not manage any forces before he was promoted to the legend, but after being promoted to the legend, he pulled up the 'Ring of Flames' that was almost comparable to the 'Green Spire' in a very short period of time, and the energy was not known to be many times greater than Milu.

Therefore, like Hatcher, Lennon, and Feige, who are expected to hit the peak of the Golden Rank of the Legendary Rank, although they can all run a huge force like Milu, few people really do it. In addition to retaining the core power of the members of the Nine Rings Council and taking out the necessary energy to complete the tasks assigned by the highest level, the rest of his time and energy were basically spent on his own cultivation and looking for opportunities to break through the legendary level.

But in the opinion of Rason, who understands the general trend of the world in the next few decades, Hatchell's idea is actually a bit out of place.

The reason why the Legendary Rank was able to have such a transcendent status before was because the magic power of the Ymir Continent was low and the laws were strict, and it was extremely difficult to promote to Legendary. Any legendary rank is enough to influence the general trend of the world.

However, in the context of the surging tide of demons, in the next few decades, the laws of the Ymir Continent will be loosened, the difficulty of advancing to the Legend will be reduced, and the Legendary-level masters will continue to emerge like mushrooms after a rain. Just inside the Nine Rings White Tower, there will be nearly ten legends born, and the number of legends added from the outside is not less than this number.

In this case, although the Legendary-level master is still the top level of the continent and has a huge influence, it is actually impossible to easily obtain a huge amount of resources and establish a relatively independent huge force like the current 'Dragon Burner'. Most of the new legendary masters can only continue to be attached to the organization, and use the power of the organization to gain power, and their independence is greatly reduced.

And due to the significant increase in the number of legendary masters, the fierce competition between them, and the suppression of the old legendary professionals, the rights that new legends can obtain and exert their influence are actually quite limited, and under the constraints of many conditions, the legendary level is greatly restricted.

Therefore, for Luo Sheng, who has always wanted to be independent and control powerful forces, completely relying on the Nine Rings White Pagoda is not the best path. After all, Luo Sheng started late, and in the competition for promotion to legend, there was no need to go through Lunnon, and Hatchell had already reached level 20 and had an extremely deep foundation at the golden peak. Even if you are promoted to a legend in the future, you will not be able to get much resources and power, and you will lose most of your independence because of this.

On the contrary, if now Luo Sheng maintains his independence from the beginning and runs his own power base. Although it will be hard at the beginning, with the improvement of Luo Sheng's strength, his power will be stabilized step by step. After being promoted to a legend in the future, Luo Sheng's power will naturally rise and grow rapidly.

And compared with starting to build up power after being promoted to a legend, Luo Sheng has two advantages to laying a foundation first, one is that he does not need to intrigue with many new legends in the future and compete for power and profit. After all, after having his own foundation, what Luo Sheng needs in the future is only the platform of cooperation in the Nine Ring White Tower, not to directly seize the actual interests and resources within the Nine Ring White Tower, which will have a lot less contradictions.

Another benefit is that the power is managed in advance, which can save a lot of time for Rasen. You must know that the establishment of a solid force requires not only resources from all sides, but also time precipitation. Even if he is a legendary-level master, it will take years, or even more than ten years, to pull up his own power. But in the future when the tide of demons is surging, and the situation is changing drastically, there is not much time for people to slowly develop their forces. Therefore, if Luo Sheng wants to have independent forces, it is an inevitable choice to take root in advance.

Of course, these trade-offs in Luo Sheng's mind will not be explained to Hatcher. Even if it is explained, the other party may not believe it. Masters who can reach the pinnacle of gold, everyone has their own path and beliefs, which cannot be changed by others just by saying a few words.

But fortunately, although there were some differences in philosophy, Hatchel did not 'slack off' because of this, and still introduced the situation of Truth Island to Rasheng very responsibly. And although Luo Sheng has been on Truth Island for a long time in the future, he is still quite unfamiliar with the current Truth Island, so he listens to it with relish.

The topography of the Isle of Truth, if viewed from above and from above, resembles a huge circular cone, not like a product of nature. In fact, according to some gossip rumors, the formation of the Island of Truth is related to the experiment of 'shaping the land' in the later stage of the Arcane Empire, but the high-level of the White Tower of the Nine Rings has been secretive about this, so there has been no authoritative answer to the reason for the formation of the Island of Truth.

And at the core of the Island of Truth, that is, at the very tip of this large cone, stands the most famous mage tower of the Nine Rings White Pagoda - the 'White Tower'. This mage tower, which does not know the specific level, but has at least reached the immortal level, is both the symbol of the Nine Rings White Pagoda and the core of the power of the Nine Rings White Tower. The 'White Tower Contract' signed by Luo Sheng has its roots in this mage tower. It is also by relying on this powerful mage tower that the Nine-Ring White Tower survived the crises of the Dark Calendar and the Pioneer Calendar under the fall of the Arcane Empire, and developed to its current scale.

In addition to the core area of the White Tower, the Island of Truth takes the White Tower as the center of the circle, and draws nine circles of different diameters according to the different distances from the White Tower, dividing the entire Island of Truth into nine circular areas. The most marginal area, the ring-shaped area near the coast, is named the First Ring Area, and so on, one ring after another, inward, upward. The second ring area, the third ring area, and the ninth ring area until the edge of the White Tower.

In fact, this simple and crude naming, with almost no aesthetic and artistic naming, is the source of the name of the organization of the Nine Rings White Tower. Over the years, there have been countless complaints about the way the original builder was named, but it has not been possible to change the name of the organization.

The nine rings of the Isle of Truth have been divided again after years of development. The 9th, 8th, and 7th rings near the perimeter of the White Pagoda, which is the top area of the cone of the Island of Truth, are generally referred to as the Inner Ring Zone. This is not only the place where the high-ranking members of the Nine-Ring White Pagoda gather, but also the center of power of the Nine-Ring White Pagoda. The various agencies responsible for handling practical affairs, and the headquarters of various organizations, such as Quinnier's 'Green Spire', Bob's 'Ring of Fire', and the two journals 'Legacy' and 'Discovery', are all in this area.

Outside the inner ring area, the outer ring area is formed from the second ring road to the sixth ring road. Home to the Truth Academy, the Career Training Base, the Magic Legion Station, the Trade Area and the Residential Living Area, it is the most lively place in the entire Truth Island. The students of the Truth Academy, the members of the Magic Legion, and the professionals of all departments who have been recognized by the Nine Rings White Pagoda basically live here.

Outside the outer ring area, the largest and most marginal ring area is called the defense area. Not only are there all kinds of defenses for the Magic Legion, but there are also all kinds of powerful mage towers.

As a mage class, there is a great demand for mage towers. However, due to the limited area of the Island of Truth, in addition to the legendary mages who are qualified to use the small half-plane, only the best gold-level mages who have made great contributions and cannot inherit the existing mage towers can build their own independent mage towers on the island of truth, and they can only be built in the most marginal ring area.

But even so, after thousands of years of accumulation, most of the First Ring District has been occupied by the Mage Tower, and it has become a veritable 'Tallinn'. These Mage Towers, which have reached at least the Golden Rank and form a mana network with the White Tower, have greatly strengthened the power of the Truth Island's Mystery Lock, and also formed the first line of defense to guard the Truth Island.

Rason and Hatchell chatted all the way, and soon came to the side of the towering white tower. Bringing Luo Sheng to a light gate, Hatchel smiled and said: "Go in from here, the emblem will automatically take you to the place of certification, and the matter of certification depends on Luo Sheng and yourself." ā€
