Chapter VIII Striving for and Responding

"Teacher, please give me a fair chance to fight!"

In a simple sentence, Moriah felt Duke's will and courage - sometimes, it takes courage to speak up and speak up about his opinions and demands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He looked at Duke in amazement, he didn't know when his student had changed so much, it was like a rebirth, but the more so, the more regretful he felt in his heart, he said: "Duke, do you know that strength is not only strong and weak, but also different levels and realms!"

What is the level and realm of power?

When Duke heard this for the first time, he couldn't help but look up at Moriah.

Moriah nodded slightly, and explained: "I won't talk about this knowledge, you will understand it when you encounter it in the future, now...... You should understand the division of power levels, it is simple and clear, it provides us with a standard to measure the strength of strength, and also gives us a step to forge ahead, but in fact it also contains a deeper logic of power: below the surface power level, each level is divided into a realm, which are apprentice, master, advanced, master, sanctuary, legend...... Level 4 is the beginning of specialization, so if you want to ascend to Level 4, it is not a simple two levels on the surface, but you have to cross one or even two realms!"

"Two realms?"

Moria said: "Yes, the process of pursuing strength is like climbing a mountain, each realm is equivalent to a mountain, the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain is the most difficult stage, you should also understand this, right?"

Duke nodded, only to realize that the improvement of strength was far from being as simple as he thought, he thought about it, and asked calmly: "So, is the improvement of the realm from one mountain to another?"

Moria nodded first and then shook his head, "It's right and wrong for you to understand it this way. The ascension of the realm is from one mountain to another, but the foot of the latter mountain is higher than the top of the previous mountain! This 'high' is the high level of strength -- just like the difference between a fish in the water and a beast on land, a beast on land and an eagle in the sky, so it is divided by realm. ”

After saying that, he made Duke think for a moment, and then asked, "So, do you still ask for this chance to compete?"

Duke looked at Moriah, and for a moment even wondered if Moriah had deliberately said this to dispel his thoughts, but he quickly gave up on this idea, because there was no need, in the White Lake Tribe, as the teacher of the Great Elder, he had the power to make a decision, so why deceive him into an apprentice druid?

As for whether or not I want this opportunity, I hardly have to think about this question: "Teacher, I want this opportunity!"

He believed what the teacher said, and realized that what should be put in front of him should be a very big problem, but even if it is a big problem, if he wants to go further, he doesn't have to face this matter? What's more, past experience also tells him that as long as the so-called problem is done with heart and perseverance, there will always be a solution!

Moriah's brows unconsciously furrowed, a determined student and clan member who was not afraid of difficulties was what he was happy to see, but thinking that this was a hopeless thing, he couldn't help but struggle, "Duke, as a teacher, it is my duty to remind you that the chances of success in this matter are very small, or almost impossible—my other three students, Farul, Angari, and Ursula, have been in the third level for at least two years! Moreover, this matter will have a certain impact on you in the future......"

He paused and said, "So, are you still going to hold on?"

Duke understood what the teacher's latter sentence meant, but he still said without hesitation: "Yes, teacher, I insist!"

The teacher's mention of his three classmates didn't put much pressure on him, and his first thought was that if the teacher didn't agree, he could call them to "petition" together, and the three of them would not be indifferent to such a life-threatening event.

Moriah was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "You go back first, I'll think about this matter!"

Although he did not receive a positive answer, such a result was a victory for Duke, so he took his leave with a sigh of relief.

Moria listened to Duke's footsteps coming downstairs with mixed feelings, thinking that he could have guessed the result, why didn't he simply refuse him? But thinking of Duke's performance during this meeting, that kind of firm will, and the courage to move forward without fear of difficulties, he himself felt the blood in his heart move!

This kind of Duke is different from any elf he has ever seen, and his performance has something to do with the fact that his family was once rich in warriors?

............

Returning to his cabin and closing the door, Duke rethought the matter again, and found that the way to let them compete for a place in the Moonlight Glade should not be opposed except for the impact on Thor, and considering the strength and face, Thor should not refuse, if nothing else, this matter can be passed.

Then, in the next six months, it is time for him to enter the rhythm of training that frantically squeezes his every potential!

Tonight was probably his last relaxing night, and he decided to relax, check in on his recent gains, reflect on his life in the previous world, and plan his training for the rest of his life......

Gradually, the outside of the house turned from noise to silence, only the moon under a large tree in the middle of the tribe emitted a bright and soft light, and before he knew it, the eastern sky gradually brightened, and the light of the moon well slowly became less obvious, and then the sun shone from above the trees and fell into his eyes.

He blinked, came to his senses, and pulled a money pouch out of his backpack.

Ninety-four gold coins were inside the bulging purse, and the pleasant sound of metal could be heard with a slight movement, these coins were enough for him to buy a normal staff, but now that he had thought of a new use, the staff matter could only be postponed - for him now, the level was the most important thing, and all the ways to increase the level would be at the top of the plan.

He went to see Wei An first and offered to buy two sets of forty bottles of "Intermediate Wisdom Elixir".

Wei An, who was combing his hair in front of the mirror, turned his head to look at him in surprise and said, "You are crazy! What are you doing with so many wisdom potions?"

Duke said: "The wisdom potion can improve my comprehension ability and mana recovery speed, which is very helpful to my cultivation. ”

Time is of the essence for him now.

Wei An glanced at him and said, "Do you know about the Moonlight Glade?"

Duke nodded, and didn't ask why she knew why she didn't tell herself, just asked, "How much does it cost?"

Wei An stood in front of him and looked at him for a moment, then said seriously, "Are you serious?"

Duke nodded and handed the wallet to her.

Wei An didn't take the wallet, sat down and frowned and thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Duke, there's not enough time - you don't have a chance!"

Duke was not angry, and said, "How do you know if there is a chance if you don't try?"

"Y-you're not buying a staff anymore?"

"More on that later. ”

Wei An looked at him with a headache, but seeing that he looked resolute, he handed the wallet to her side again, she took the wallet angrily, and said: "You can try it if you want, but the medicine money is not less, one group of intermediate wisdom potions twenty gold, two groups of fifty, I have to charge you at least forty-eight gold!"

She counted out forty-eight gold coins, glanced at Duke again, and saw that he didn't have the slightest intention of regretting it, sighed, put back three more, and said, "Forget it, for the sake of the bamboo spirit mushroom you found for me last time, I will charge you forty-five gold!"

Duke smiled, took the purse and potion from her, and left.

Wei An waved her hand impatiently and continued to comb her hair, but when he left, she felt a mess in her heart when she saw the pile of gold coins on the table, and she couldn't say that she didn't feel anything, only some inexplicable happiness.

After leaving Vian's place, Duke went to the blacksmith shop in the middle of the village, and offered to learn the art of blacksmithing from the blacksmith Old Aken.

The previous experience of learning cooking and alchemy made him understand that comprehending and learning new skills could greatly improve his mental strength, which was also the way he thought of improving as soon as possible last night.

For him, the forging technique helps to improve his mental power, and it can also improve his strength.

To learn the forging skills, Lao Ah Ken did not charge him much money, but only asked for a symbolic gold, but asked him to spare three hours a day to help in the blacksmith shop before mastering the primary forging skills, in fact, to receive training.

After coming out of the blacksmith's shop, he went to the west to meet Blind Gallo, the only appraiser in the White River Lake.

The identification of equipment is very important, especially for equipment that does not know the origin, only by identifying its attributes can it be better used and play its role, but for the current elves, most of the high-level equipment is left over from the original, and the newly generated equipment, as the manufacturer, must be aware of its attributes, so, basically, there is no need to identify this skill, and Duke is only ready to learn it if he wants to exercise his mental power.

Perhaps because he was usually fine, the blind gallo rarely left his room, and it had been so long since he came to this world that Duke had only seen him for the first time today.

I saw that Gallo was wearing a simple leather robe, with a black cloth belt wrapped around his eyes, and because he did not see sunlight for a long time, his complexion was sickly pale, and there were various equipment parts on the floor, table, wall and even bed in the room.

Hearing of Duke's intentions, Gallo turned to him and said, "Do you really want to learn the skills of an appraiser from me?"

Duke respectfully replied, "Yes!"

Gallo laughed a few times in a hoarse voice, and said, "This is rare! However, appraisal is all-encompassing, and you will definitely not regret learning it! You must know that in our era of elf power, appraiser is the most respected profession......

Duke patiently listened to him a lot, but the request he made later made him creepy: "The appraiser is the most fundamental to explore the power of all kinds of magic in the equipment, but the eyes are the most easily deceived, so you have to learn the skills of the appraiser from me, and if you want to get my true biography, you must also blind yourself like me!"

Of course Duke can't do it!

He wanted to just leave, but remembering his purpose, he quickly thought of a solution: "Mr. Gallo, what do you think of the blindfold when I was learning the identification skills with you?"

Gallo was dissatisfied, believing that he was not sincere in learning the art of identification, but, perhaps because few people wanted to learn from him, he finally agreed to accept Duke, but instead charged him fifty gold coins for "tuition".

It's a lion's mouth!

Duke thought for a while but agreed, in his opinion, a person who is willing to sacrifice his eyes for a certain skill must have real learning, and it is more important for him to improve his strength as soon as possible than anything else.

Leaving Gallo, he was left with only eight golds left in his hand.

There were also tailors and tanners in the tribe, but he didn't have enough gold and time, so he only went to the cook, Old Cook, to learn a few third-level recipes.
