Chapter 4: The Way of the Knight and the Way of the Sorcerer
"It seems that the next direction is to start with improving our own strength and gathering intelligence......"
Hodge muttered softly and wrote down two words in Chinese with a wave of his pen.
【Knight】
【Magician】
If you want to become stronger quickly in a short period of time, taking a potion is the best choice.
This is the promotion method that belongs to this world, and it is necessary to use potions to complete each major stage of promotion, and in each sequence, it is necessary to digest the power of the corresponding potion and fully grasp the power that accompanies madness and mutation.
There are two paths in front of him.
The Knight Path and the Mage Path.
This is the official occupation of the Salom Empire, and it is also the sequential path supported by the Empire and the three major churches.
Hodge doesn't know much about the specific sequence names, only knows two classes, which are divided into nine sequences, from sequence 9 to sequence 8...... All the way up to Sequence 1.
The name of each occupational sequence is different, and there is a big difference between the ancient name and the current name.
"Just now my father let him choose the corresponding potion, and he is also letting himself choose the path of the future......"
"Before the coming-of-age ceremony, each heir basically took the corresponding potion, and he was relatively late."
Hodge is actually not averse to taking potions to improve his abilities.
After all, the requirements of the inheritance law are here, and if Hodge wants to inherit the title and inherit the power and status of the marquis, he must meet this prerequisite.
After an almost nightmare event, Hodge's desire to become stronger now is extremely urgent.
"Sequence 9 of the knight's path, called knight, can strengthen the physique, improve one's ability to control mounts, blades, firearms and weapons, reactability, speed, and strength can be significantly improved, and you can also have two special abilities."
"One is madness, quickly secreting adrenaline, making the blood vessels and muscles in the body congested, and in a short period of time, it has the power of rage, which is enough to sweep several soldiers under sequence 9, and even be able to dominate in hand-to-hand combat in the same sequence."
"The second is weapon mastery, the essence of potions is to grab the power of a special existence from the potions, after becoming a Sequence 9 Knight, on the back of the hand, there will be a pattern of swords, shields and guns intertwined, with the ability to perfectly control all weapons, and can easily control any type of weapon, including guns, machinery and other special weapons."
Hodge thought for a moment, opened a book called "General Knowledge of Magic", looked at the record on it, and muttered: "The magician path, sequence 9 is called a pharmacist, after taking potions, he will also have two abilities, namely alchemy and medicinal material identification. ”
"If the knight's path is a physical strengthening, then the magician path is the strengthening of consciousness and spiritual power, through the awakening of spiritual power, to achieve the power of the natural elements, and then through the language of the mysterious power, the corresponding magic is cast."
"Alchemy, can dissolve, combine, and change the essential structure of matter by quickly connecting the alchemy array, so as to achieve attack, defense, etc., in short, it can change the material structure of items, turn stones into iron swords, and complete the effect of "turning stones into gold". ”
"But the only pity is that substances like gold seem to be contaminated with some special power, which is difficult to transform with alchemy, otherwise the stone will be transformed into gold, and the magicians will all be top rich."
"Of course, if that happens one day, the gold system will collapse. Moreover, the empire has long decreed that any alchemist is forbidden to participate in gold-related refining, and once discovered, he will be immediately imprisoned in the imperial prison, and the whole family will sit together, the nobles will abolish their titles, and citizens will be demoted to commoners, and commoners will be directly reduced to slaves. At the same time, any gold with traces of magic contamination will be rejected by various banks, which is also a kind of vigilance and precaution of the empire against alchemy. ”
"Medicinal material identification, as the name suggests, is to be able to identify a variety of complex and diverse medicinal materials, and magicians are almost natural pharmacists."
"Sequence 9 of the magician path, for the improvement of strength, is not very helpful, but it is very functional, many people who pursue stability, will choose to become a pharmacist, work in pharmacies, hospitals and other places safely, and get a good weekly salary."
"Only from Sequence 8 - Magic Apprentice can you cast the corresponding magic array, use battle magic, and send out fireballs, ice picks, winds and other abilities."
Hodge silently closed the book, and thought silently in his heart: "In the current form, the magician is not very suitable for me, if I can't solve this crisis, it doesn't matter what way." ”
Hodge was already planning to choose the knightly path, but he was not in a hurry to go to his father and ask for the corresponding potion recipe and potion materials.
Because since I said that I would think about it again and give an answer tomorrow, there is no need to go to my father so quickly.
After all, there is no essential difference between becoming Sequence 9 one day earlier and one day later in resolving the current crisis.
In fact, from beginning to end, Hodge did not intend to be a lone hero and solve this matter by himself.
Hodge is not an idiot, he doesn't need to be the heir of the marquis, he doesn't need to have fiefdom soldiers, imperial foreign aid, and church assistance, he doesn't want to fight alone, this is not a hero, this is a brain.
Whatever you are, you should behave in any way.
Whatever identity you have, you should use the power of whatever identity.
Hodge's current identity, but the only heir of the marquis, his father, Marquis Bach, is one of the nine marquis of the empire, his position is prominent, the power he can use, and the connections he has are extremely amazing.
The way to break the game is naturally to use all the power that can be used to give the enemy who comes to attack with all his strength.
The hungry tiger pounces on the rabbit, and there is still full strength, let alone him.
In the face of such a powerful enemy with a mysterious origin, it is impossible to pay too much attention to it.
After all, I've already been killed once......
Hodge refocused his gaze on the paper where the information had just been laid out, and he was keenly aware of something wrong.
"The date of the attack was the end of the dinner seven days later, why seven days later?"
"Not tonight?"
"It's not tomorrow night?"
"Just a coincidence?"
Hodge shook his head, thinking it wasn't that simple.
There is no hate for no reason, and there is no love for no reason.
To be able to make such a crazy and evil heretic, such a reckless invasion and slaughter of the Marquis's entire family, must have a greater purpose and reason.
It is really unreasonable for a church that believes in evil gods to provoke the empire and the church so blatantly.
You must know that the Salom Empire is one of the three most powerful empires in the world, and the Holy Church is also one of the best in the six Churches of God.
Their family is a believer in the Holy Church and is protected by the Church of the True God.
Even if it is a cult, it would not dare to blatantly provoke such a huge force!
Hodge felt that his father must have done something in the past seven days, and then angered a certain force in the empire, or a certain family, that led to this crazy attack.
So what exactly is this reason?
Hodge was lost in thought, and in light of what he knew, he gradually came up with a guess.
There is only one reason why the enemy can be so unscrupulous......
