"A little over a month ago, I was with a few 'old friends' on a quest for a ruin on an island to the east and found this staff, which resulted in a great deal of fighting between magicians and warriors...... In the end, I got him, but everyone was a strong man, and although they fought badly, they all left alive. I'm sure they'll come back once they've healed. There aren't many artifacts left in this world, and this one seems to be quite special......"
"Hmm~ This is easy to understand, so the teacher must figure out the power of this artifact and master it before they come, right? But I had a business trip while researching this artifact, so I came here?" Lu Chen didn't want to listen to the old man's nagging story, so he could only interrupt his narration in this way.
"Uh~ Yes, some powerful artifacts have their own will, and over time, they may produce energy bodies with independent consciousness and similar to intelligent life souls......"
"Machine spirits?"
Well, that's a fitting name. The old man glanced at Lu Chen thoughtfully, and then continued: "So I arranged the summoning array, if there is that ~ instrument spirit, it will be easier to control this staff, and I don't know what kind of person the previous owner of the artifact was, in case it is a bloodthirsty maniac and uses this staff without any preparation, it is very dangerous, and the user's soul is likely to be eroded, or even replaced." β
"But just when the magic array was activated, the spar suddenly fell out, and what was even more strange was that the spar without the slightest magic reaction actually exploded, which caused the turmoil of the summoning array, and drained almost all the magic power on my body at once; Not understanding the effect of the magic wand made the old man's tone look very helpless, and deepened his self-blame for mistakenly summoning Lu Chen.
β...... What the hell is that spar? Is it also an artifact?Why didn't you put him in the space ring?" Lu Chen asked with a pretending to be a little angry, he wanted to know the origin of the black gem, but he didn't want to attract too much attention from the old man, so he could only ask questions like this, and set out the information he wanted.
The old man didn't care about Lu Chen's tone, as an eighth-order law saint, he naturally wouldn't bother with a child, he shook his head and replied: "I don't know what it is, I found it next to the magic wand, I thought it was related to the magic wand, so I secretly hid it, and after I came back, I studied it for a long time, but I didn't see what it was." There weren't any mana fluctuations, it looked like a fist-sized, unprocessed piece of dark crystal ore, but just in case, I took out the space ring and put it in my pocket, and the result was ...... I don't know where it blew up now, and with no mana fluctuations, it's almost impossible to find it again. β
There was no particularly useful information in the old man's words, Lu Chen could only guess that the spar was the disguise of the black gem, and its energy should not belong to the category of magic power, at least others could not feel it, just like the inexplicable unknown energy on his body;
"Alas~ little guy, you don't have to think about it anymore, as long as ~ strong enough...... Even if your hometown is in the divine realm, you can easily go back. Seeing Lu Chen frowning, the old man spoke again and comforted.
It's just that the so-called strong enough, what Cheng DΓΉ is, he has no concept of himself, and Lu Chen doesn't have the talent to become a magician; Also, he is already 15 years old, but he doesn't even have the strength of a first-order warrior, but looking at his etiquette and what he said, it seems to be inherited from an isolated ancient family, such a combination is really strange.
"Could it be that this little guy was not in good health when he was a child, so his family didn't let him cultivate?" the old man finally came up with this answer in his heart.
Hearing the old man's concern, Lu Chen paused his thoughts, raised his eyes to look at the old man, and said, "Well, teacher, don't worry, even if I can only be a warrior, I will definitely work hard." Hmm~ Can you tell me about this...... The outside world?" The old man's words, of course, Lu Chen understood that they would not be true, but there was no doubt that he wanted to become stronger, because through the old man's words, he was sure that this should be the other world of magic and fighting spirit, so it must be the world where personal strength is supreme.
"O world, where do you start...... The land we live in is called 'Hids 6', which is a trapezoidal shape that is narrow in the north and wide in the south, and there are six powerful nations, of which we human beings occupy most of the fertile land east of the middle of the Great 6, the orcs have established kingdoms in the barren wilderness to the west of the Great 6, the elves occupy the forests in the south, and the dwarves control the Vulcan Mountains in the north...... We are now in the human country in the east of the Great 6, the Kingdom of Finaeus, out of this forest, all the way to the west is the king of the capital of Wells......"
The old man tirelessly talked about some common sense, and his eyes were aimed at Lu Chen from time to time, wanting to see more information from his reaction.
"Uh~ Teacher, you said before that I have a senior brother who is a warrior and is already a swordsman, can you tell me about this? For example, in addition to warriors, are there archers, knights and the like? Also, how powerful is a swordsman?" Hearing the old man explain geography to himself, Lu Chen could only interrupt him.
For the current Lu Chen, it doesn't matter at all which country he belongs to, and he won't have any sense of belonging from the earth. At the same time, Lu Chen also talked to himself very much about the identity of the old man's student.
It's just that this time, the old man is more convinced of his identity as a member of the ancient family, because anyone who comes out of an ordinary village will feel new to the outside world, and it is impossible not to be interested in the distribution of countries and forces, only those who have studied systematically and know these will be unwilling to listen to it; and for Lu Chen's desire to know the detailed classification of occupations, it also shows from the side that his family may not let him participate in cultivation for some reason, so he is so anxious to know.
With such a guess, the old man smiled: "...... Hehe, so you want to know about the classification of occupations. Okay, then I'll talk about that. β
As for Lu Chen's unauthorized determination of his student's identity, the old man did not mean to blame or refuse, and he had the intention to acquiesce to Lu Chen's positioning of his identity.
The seventy-three-year-old man had already confiscated students for ten years, and Lu Chen was summoned here because of his mistakes, coupled with his fear of the artifact at the beginning, and the very natural title of "machine spirit" and other factors, it was logical to accept this Lu Chen as a student, even if he might be the most mediocre one in the future.
After sipping his saliva and moistening his throat, the old man began to explain in detail.
"The personal power on the Great 6 of Hids is divided into nine levels, each level is divided into three levels, and each profession has different names for different ranks; Take the magician as an example, the basic professions are: squire, apprentice, monk, mage, elementalist, magician, archmage, law saint, law god; different departments only add an attribute name in front, such as fire squire; and, when breaking through to the fourth order, according to personal expertise, there will be alchemists, scroll masters, summoners and other sub-professions, but these are very few. β
"There are many classifications of warriors, and the degree of freedom is also very high, for example, a ranger, as long as his strength is strong enough, he can be a knight on a horse, a swordsman when he gets off the horse, and an archer when he pulls out a longbow, but fortunately, his personal specialty will be stable in the later stage, so the first six orders of the warrior are uniformly represented by a six-pointed star, and one is the first order when one is lit, and the seventh order is honored with a specific name......"
"Of course, now everyone at the fifth or sixth order can determine their cultivation direction, and many people even use specific names from the beginning of the fourth order. Take your sword-wielding brother as an example, others call him a sword master, and his professional basic classification is: junior warrior, intermediate warrior, senior warrior, swordsman, swordsman, swordsman, great swordsman, sword master, sword master, sword god. β
"Unlike magicians, warriors can be classified in the second order, such as archers in the second order, and some are more special independent professions, such as the magic knight profession in the seventh order of knights, most of these people are people from the Holy See, they can use some simple auxiliary magic, and increase their strength in a short time......"
"Uh~ Teacher, please stop for a moment, my head is a little messy. Lu Chen interrupted the kind old man again, in fact, he already understood that the classification of occupations here is similar to the transfer of classes in the game, but there are more types and ranks. Then it's a question of which profession to choose for himself who has no magic power, and he will definitely not choose the meat shield, but he can't let the magician in front of him teach him a bow and arrow, even though he has a sword master student.
"Hehe, I'm talking too much. Okay, lunch is almost over, then you can go back to the room to rest for a while, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, my room is on the other side of the corridor. The old man said kindly.
Just crossed, no matter how rational Lu Chen thinks he is, he can't receive too much information in a short period of time, no matter which world it is, it is not easy to choose the path to take in the future, not to mention that there is a black gem that only he can feel differently, and that inexplicable illusion, it always makes people feel that this qiΔ is not accidental.
