Section 3: The Road of Blood (Part I

In this process, the Jacques branch president smiled silently, not in a hurry at all.

"I heard you're going to rush back to your hometown?" Jacques led Townsend into his yard, turned around and went straight to the point, "Haven't you really learned any other sub-abilities besides Su Feng?"

"That's true, it's a bit of a rush, a miscellaneous. Townsend nodded: "Other abilities are not good, Su Feng has also seen too much, and he has practiced it himself, so I can't explain it clearly." ”

"Your perseverance is very valuable, and even if you have achieved success in your studies in the future, you should not give it up easily. Jacques didn't dig deeper, just nodded, and then took out two xiǎo booklets from the room: "This is what the guild has assigned to you, one is the foundation of the ability, and the other is your personal note." In addition to the badge, these are two other status symbols that you must not lose. ”

"Yes. Townsend nodded in agreement.

"In this ability foundation, there is a more comprehensive introduction to the sub-abilities, from beginner to tripolar. You do your research and find the best faction ability for you. Otherwise, it's not good to get twice the result with half the effort. Jacques continued: "After studying a chapter, you write down what you have learned in your ability notebook and send it back to the club once or twice a year for check-in as proof of continued promotion. ”

"Don't you need to lead anymore to continue to be promoted?" Townsend breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, it was too laborious to lead.

"The promotion from beginner to tripolar is not harsh, the branch training institute will review your notes to understand your mastery of the abilities of each department, and the combat group will test your actual ability, and there may be some promotion tasks, but it is not too troublesome. ”

Jacques explained: "There is no special promotion ceremony until the fourth level, you don't look at this hurdle, above the fourth level, that is the real difficulty. It was here that Berner was stuck for more than a decade...... It's a pity. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the reminder, I will try" Townsend didn't want to be dragged into this troubled water, and he didn't even pick up the topic about Bernard.

"You just challenged Berner, do you really have the strength to defeat him?" Jacques still couldn't help but ask this sentence, but before Townsend could react, he shook his hand and said: "Forget it, I shouldn't ask this kind of thing, you shouldn't have heard it, don't be pressured." ”

"Yes" To such a clever branch president, Townsend could only smile bitterly: "Thank you, Your Excellency, President, for your magnanimity." ”

"Our West Coast chapter isn't as strong as other clubs, and the reputation for being free and loose has long since spread, but at least we don't restrict people from traveling. A smile reappeared on Jacques' face: "Your return home to run errands can be regarded as a kind of travel, as long as you have advanced in your abilities and achieved results in your studies." But if you can't get a result by then, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."

"Oh, Uncle Jacques, you're talking too badly" Marcia lifted the window and stuck her head in halfway: "Don't bully newcomers"

"I want to bully, but did you give me a chance?" Jacques pointed at Namacia angrily: "You, and your father, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and I am unlucky to meet your family." ”

"Who cares about you. With a little complacency, Marcia came in by detouring through the Mén entrance: "Uncle Jacques, what happened to Bernard ......"

"Townsend is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Jacques scoffed: "Townsend, you handled this matter generally well today......

"Your Excellency, please allow me to say that if there is anything like this in the future, my procedure will not change. Townsend smiled: "I'm too xiǎo to play a big game, as long as someone comes out to stir up trouble, they will be pestered by me until they vomit blood-Your Excellency, President, I don't think about the inside story, background and the like, because my fight is very simple, that is, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out." ”

"I know what you mean, this might fit the Jing God of your badge. Jacques smiled: "If you are direct, then I will be direct, this kind of thing will be difficult to happen in the future, and there are not many Bernard in our branch...... Rest assured, we won't ask you to do these things. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Now that the meaning is clear, Townsend will not say more, Jacques has a rough appearance, but in fact he is very delicate on the inside, and he has accurate vision, under + passion and hatred, which is the talent that is most needed by the party.

"Let Marcia tell you about the badge, she knows more about this stuff than I do. Townsend, other rewards and supplies are still sent to your house as usual, you pay attention to them when you go back, and Salevi will contact you for other things. ”

"There's nothing else to say, your xing grid is too hard, but the path of the ability is not easy, don't think about it if it's smooth sailing. It's normal to suffer losses and be angry, and run to others to chase them. Jacques stood up and patted Townsend lightly on the shoulder: "You have to remember, no matter where you are, no matter what time it is, the most important thing is to save your life." ”

Townsend nodded as if he didn't understand, he must have understood this, but why did President Jacques suddenly talk about this?

Walking out of Jacques's mansion, Townsend was truly relaxed.

He knew that it was not easy to be promoted to a special promotion, and a simple gift could be difficult and tortuous to such an extent, it could be regarded as a rare encounter in a hundred years due to fate, right? It was also funny to say, it was clearly his own special promotion party, but he was completely out of the matter, and at this time, all the people who were messing around in the promotion hall were other ability masters.

Townsend could feel that with his status as a Psychic Master, the attitude of the branch members towards him had eased. This change is very good, the Thorn Rose is rooted on the West Coast, and it will definitely develop outward in the future, and with them to take care of it, things will go a lot smoother.

"The Anomalies stationed in the Guild seem to be beautiful, but there are few opportunities to relax. Now that we have one more partner, it's worth celebrating no matter what. Marcia saw through Townsend's suspicions, "You're officially in the realm of abilities." ”

"I got a junior ability master, and I lost a level 4 ability master. Townsend shook his head: "They're losing, aren't they?"

"If you think about it, it's not a loss. Marcia smiled and shook her head

"Now that Berner has made his decision, he will explode with or without you, you just bumped into his good days - you crushed him in the face of a stronger god than yourself, and minimized his damage to the chapter. That's the most important reason why everyone applauds you afterwards. ”

"So don't look at yourself, Bernard may not be more important than you. ”

"Huh?" Townsend asked, "I'm just a beginner, what else can make people look at me except dare to work hard?"

"What kind of garlic is in it? You, and the Quelsa Plains under your control, have a variety of abilities and resources produced, and the Quelsa Plains are an important geographical node in the northwest. Marcy understood Townsend and glanced at him: "In the past, it was tinghunluàn over there, so it was not valued, but now with you, it is different...... You are not at the banquet, and the training faction and the combat group can do jiāo wading. ”

"In that case, Thorn Rose is going to be ready to receive guests, and we need to build a few luxury hotels. Townsend was relieved at this time, compared to a simple nodding jiāo, the realistic benefit sharing can be said to be solid. The Anomalous Masters need the produce of their own territory, and they will inevitably support themselves more firmly - for the Thorn Rose, this big tui is thick enough

He flicked the badge in front of him: "What else do I don't know about this badge?

"The Adeptist badge is fundamentally different from the apprentice badge, it is always made exclusively in Mén, and the materials used are very valuable, and it reflects certain characteristics of the Anomalous Master himself. "When you choose a badge, it changes its face, which is really a test of your ability." ”

"Detection?" Townsend was sensitive to this matter.

"The Adeptist is the best match for that kind of ability, and the badge can be tested. ”

"Well, what does the red sè mean?" asked Townsend.

"Red sè is relatively rare, and it does not represent the power of the supernatural system, it is called the path of blood within the guild, and there is also the path of transparent contemplation and the glorious path of golden sè. "The path of blood doesn't mean you're a combat ability, it just means that your ability is more practical and your release is more powerful than the average person, which is an excellent trait." ”

"What's the use, I know. Townsend couldn't help but laugh: "It still hasn't chosen the right branch for me." ”

"Be content, you've got the ability basics, and this book is very comprehensive. What ability is suitable for, try it yourself, and you will soon be able to verify it. Marcia couldn't help but shake her head: "People who don't have enough abilities can't see the face of your badge, but those who can see it, such as those from the training department, generally won't come to provoke you, because your badge says that you are good at fighting."

"This function is not bad, the war-free card. Townsend nodded with satisfaction: "By the way, Marcia, I want to ask you something." ”

"You say. Marcia stopped, whenever Townsend spoke in such a tone, there must be something serious to discuss, and sure enough, Townsend went straight to the point: "What do your father and President Jacques seem to be doing, are you going to participate?"

"They're on top of the box, and they don't even take me with them what they're going to do, and I'm not interested in knowing. Marcia shook her head: "I have already talked to my father, and I will continue to stay in Thorn Rose, so don't think about the good thing that no one is in charge of." ”

"I'm so grateful. Townsend smiled and nodded: "Since you are still the leader of our Thorn Rose, then these days when I go back, I will trouble you to put up this mess." ”

"This errand is not allowed by Sister Xiǎo. Marcia snorted, "You're gone, I'm better than the First Leader's addiction." ”

"I'm not worried about other things, because it's all planned in advance, you know the details, and if something happens, you won't be out of the way if you go according to the plan. Townsend lowered his voice: "There is only one thing I am most worried about at the moment. ”

―――――― the following does not count as words:

In response to the comments on the forum, xiǎo clearly explained that the beginning chapter of each episode will have a paragraph that connects the past and the future, which is a special decision that xiǎo said, and it can't be deleted, right?

Each chapter is actually about 6,000 words, divided into upper and lower parts, it is possible that there are more dialogues or descriptions in a certain part, and I will try my best to correct this drawback, but there are some parts that I can't do ...... Let's try to look up and down together as much as possible (laughs.)
