Chapter 46: The Mystery of Promotion
Kabbalah Tree of Life.
Grade charts.
William heard the term familiar to him again from Liam's mouth.
Francis the Brave also said it to him, but he was vague and limited by his background, and the education he received made it difficult for him to understand, let alone explain it to him.
"Lord Liam, can you tell me about this Kabbalah Tree of Life?"
William asked curiously, this was knowledge that William and even the brave Francis had access to.
In this medieval era, the Church had a monopoly on knowledge and education, even though many of the great nobles were illiterate.
When it comes to the occult, then this knowledge is simply secret.
Scholars who have mastered astrology and alchemy are the objects that the church needs to exterminate, and if women have mastered magic, they are witches who should be burned at the stake
Of course, although the great nobles are illiterate, it does not mean that they have not received education, and a lot of knowledge is passed down by word and deed of their elders, and many of them have become the secrets of their families.
Most of this knowledge is about holy seals, magic, gods, saints, and holy relics, which can be said to be known only to the church and nobles.
If it is for a great nobleman or a high-ranking monk of the church, it is undoubtedly very easy to know this knowledge, but for ordinary people, because of their background, it is simply difficult to get in touch with it, so Francis, who is not from a noble background, will be vague when explaining to William.
Because Francis himself couldn't figure it out, it was likely that the original explanation to William was mixed with Xia Jiba's understanding of the brave man himself.
"It's not something you can know now, and it's useless for you to ask."
Liam poured himself a sip of wine and wiped his lips with his hand, "Not to mention that this theory is too cumbersome to explain. ”
"The Knight of Ryan who canonized me as a knight is a first-order knight, why is he a first-order, and you are a second-order, the Evil Dragon will be a third-order, and what rank is Francis the Brave in the level chart?"
William didn't give up, his questioning seemed extremely persistent, and he didn't even care if it caused Liam's displeasure.
This is a real medieval fairy tale world, and it is not like online games or novels, where the strong have obvious levels, such as 1-100, or black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and diamonds.
However, the level map of the Kabbalah Tree will undoubtedly allow him to understand the world better.
"You've got a lot of questions."
Liam muttered, and he was too embarrassed to refuse when he saw William, who looked like a curious baby, and stared at him with longing eyes.
Knowledge of the Kabbalah Tree may be hard to find in the human world, but it is not a big secret in this other world.
Thus Liam reluctantly explained, "According to the corresponding view of this theory, we are in the kingdom of the material realm, and each of us has our own place in the kingdom, and we all have our own corresponding persons. ”
"In understandable terms, since this material world is a kingdom, then in the political spectrum of the kingdom, there are naturally kings at the top, and dukes, marquises, counts, barons, and knights of the lowest rank below it. The knight who canonized you is in the first-order position, and I am in the second-order position, and the evil dragon is in the third-order position, so if you convert to each other, then the Ryan knight is the knight, I am the baron, and the evil dragon is the earl, of course, I am just describing it in words that you can understand, it does not mean that we are this title, it just shows the different positions we are in the kingdom. ”
"What rank is Francis the Brave?"
William nodded, he roughly understood the level chart.
Since the evil dragon is a third-order, if you want to defeat the evil dragon, as a brave man, you naturally need a third-order or even a fourth-order, and the failure of the brave Francis shows that the rank of the brave is not as good as the evil dragon.
"First order." Liam replied.
"What, it's only the first order, isn't this just the same as Knight Lane?"
William opened his mouth wide, feeling a little incredible, the brave Francis is certainly a parallel hero, but after all, he is a brave man who goes to slay the dragon in person.
If it weren't for the evil dragon as an opponent, then it would be able to afford the strong no matter what.
The Knight of Ryan is just as powerful, but it is obviously not comparable to the Brave and the Dragon, and William has defeated the Knight of Ryan before.
Therefore, he estimated the strength of the Ryan Knight, and then tried to convert the strength of the brave, and finally thought of the third-order personality of the evil dragon, and a black line couldn't help but appear on his head.
"The brave Francis dares to slay the dragon at the first order!"
William was a little speechless, he really didn't know if the brave Francis was overblown, he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had, or if he was a real "master of art and bold", confident that he could slay the dragon.
Isn't this just sending people to death?
"The difference in rank does not mean the difference in strength, have you forgotten? Before Francis slayed the dragon, he recruited a mercenary group and received the blessing of the archbishop to possess the holy sword. The Holy Sword Dawn is a canonized holy sword, even if it is a secondary weapon, it can also reach the third order. Combat is not determined by rank, weapons are important, luck is also important, even if they are of the same rank, the difference in strength between each other is very different. ”
Liam saw through William's mind and explained it for the hapless former brave Francis.
This world is not a game world, this is the real world, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat, strength is important, but it is not so important.
The success of many heroes depends not only on their own strength, but also on their own wisdom and even luck.
The battle between the two sides is not one-on-one, whether it is luck or equipment is part of the strength.
Speaking of which, Francis seems to have failed a little, got the dragon egg and obtained the power to slay the dragon, got the blessing of the archbishop to be able to become the master of the holy sword, took out the wealth accumulated over the years to hire the entire mercenary group, worked hard to make all kinds of promises, and the final result was still a failure, and he failed to slay the dragon, but was slaughtered by the dragon.
The meaning of rank lies in the spiritual personality, not in the body, but in the soul.
"So, how can you get promoted?" William asked.
Liam glanced at William, his gaze met his, as if he wanted to see through something, and after a moment he withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "If you temper your will, improve your abilities, and establish your own merits, then you can leave your name, legends, and deeds in history and legends, then you can achieve eternity, and even after death, you can get out of the realm of the human soul." ”
"In Norse mythology, a great warrior is taken to Valhalla by Valkyries to become a heroic spirit after death, and as you can see, the soul of a strong person can exist in the form of an elf even if he dies, and if he is a Christian, he can become a holy spirit without even canonization."
