Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 5 Card Ring
McDonald Street, not far from the mutant locust tree.
Everyone present froze in place after hearing Elizabeth's words, until Roy let out a light cough.
"She has a point, when the people from the Summoners Guild come, they can try, and they should be there right away. ”
Roy said thoughtfully.
When he used the Purifying Light before, he originally planned to test some of the current situation of the mutant locust tree, but who knew that it had the opposite effect.
At this time, after careful consideration, he didn't dare to take any more rash action, and decided to wait for the people from the Fu Array Association to come, and after everyone had discussed, he would make a final decision.
In any case, when the people from the Summoners Association arrive, even if there is a situation at that time, with the Summoners Association and the combat power on their side, the worst can stabilize the status quo and prevent the disaster from spreading quickly.
After all, the closest residential building to the mutant locust tree was only a hundred meters away, and if something really happened, relying on the current number of people in the church alone, Roy was not sure that he would be able to stop it.
As for the early evacuation, it is even more unrealistic, as there are hundreds of households in the surrounding area, and if the church evacuates in order to be safe, it will inevitably cause panic.
At that time, I am afraid that all the residents of the entire Macdonald District will have to be picked up.
And even if the evacuation starts now, according to the current condition of the mutant locust tree, it will be too late, and the final result will only be to cause a commotion and worsen the situation.
Roy couldn't help but sigh lightly at the thought of his recent delicate relationship with Bishop Halma.
A hint of sadness appeared on his face.
If things really go beyond imagination, then everyone here today, and even the entire McDonald District and the surrounding area, will be involved.
Although Roy had already sent someone to seek the support of the headquarters of the Halma Church early, it was completely too late from the current time, and the strength of the seal could not support the arrival of the people at the headquarters.
Their only reinforcement is the upcoming Summoners Guild.
Elizabeth said a little uneasy when she saw that Roy and the church were suddenly silent.
"Excuse me, can I go?"
Roy finally remembered Elizabeth and smiled. "You can go back first, remember not to go out, the church will take care of it. ”
"Thank you. ”
Elizabeth bowed slightly in gratitude and was about to leave.
Roy looked at Elizabeth's back as she left, and suddenly remembered Elizabeth's previous conversation with the two missionaries.
He thought for a moment and stopped Elizabeth.
"What's your name?"
Elizabeth turned around and said with a smile on her face: "My name is Elizabeth, Holbach Elizabeth. ”
Roy secretly remembered Elizabeth's name, didn't say anything more, and watched Elizabeth's figure fade away.
......
Andu turned sideways a little tiredly, and the Ring of Origin that suddenly appeared before was quietly wearing on the ring finger of his right hand, without any abnormalities.
He rubbed his temples, forcibly dispelling the sleepiness he had just suddenly surged, and turned his head to focus on the Ring of Origin.
"Since this world is exactly the same as the setting in "Life", card rings and cards also exist, demons and demons are also wreaking havoc in the human world, and the undead in the south are still blocked in the realm of the undead, then the future road must be well planned. ”
"So far, from what I've learned, if you want to establish yourself in this world, card rings and cards are the foundation of everything. ”
In the world of "Life" in his previous life, Andu only died once, but it was that death experience that made him unforgettable.
Even after so many years, Andu still often recalls the scene at that time, and the scene is clear, as if it happened just two minutes ago.
It's just a game, but the realism of dying in the game makes him think that he is really going to die.
Since then, Andul has always adhered to a truth in the game world.
Staying alive is the most important thing.
"Unlike in the past, even if you die at that time, all you lose is the task and the reward. ”
"But it's different now, with the setting of such frequent emergencies in "Life", if the situation of the two worlds is really exactly the same, it is very possible for the heretics to summon the existence of the Great Demon. ”
"If you want to have the ability to protect yourself at that time, you have to make a lot of preparations!"
Andu carefully recalled the previous memories and the memories instilled later, and began to sort them out.
This world is basically the same as the "Life" in Andu's memory, and the strength is mainly based on card rings and cards, which is also the standard for dividing the strength of this world.
Andu used to be in the game, there was no need to learn, with the help of the system, he basically went all the way since he left the novice village.
As long as the level is reached and the promotion task of the system is completed, you can be directly promoted.
But now in the memory he received, there were some discrepancies in this situation, which was also the biggest difference between the settings of the two worlds that Andu discovered.
In the real world of Akmund, the acquisition and promotion of each card ring is much more complicated than Andu's imagination.
From the very beginning, it is common for every child to enter the academy at the age of 12 for four years of primary study.
In the process, they will learn about card rings and card principles, or other specialties.
Then they will go to different paths because of their different majors, and in addition to the combat department or drawing department that they must major in, they must also take a major course.
Students in different majors, attributes, and departments have different ways of improving.
For example, the warriors of the combat department are mainly to cultivate their fighting spirit and exercise their physique, the knights are guards, and the thieves are hidden, etc.
If it is a mage, it becomes meditation, a priest is a prayer, a rune master is a drawing of the understanding of the rune, and so on.
At the same time, the basic requirement for cultivation is that you must first obtain cards and card rings before you can officially cultivate, and you can't do anything without one, otherwise you can only learn theoretical knowledge.
Therefore, most junior college students can only learn theoretical knowledge before graduation, and the main reason is that there are no bound cards and card rings.
This is something that most students go through, and it's only when they graduate that it's most likely to change.
Before graduation, each student will be assessed according to their individual qualifications, and the highly gifted student will receive an official card ring issued by the college.
Apart from this method, there is almost no other way for children from ordinary families to be able to obtain a card ring.
Due to the control of the Empire, there is very little selling of card rings in the market, and it is a violation of the Imperial Code to steal card rings by private individuals.
There are only auction houses with the acquiescence of the empire, which can occasionally auction some, and as for the black market, it is basically a state of hiding, and with the government's ruthless methods for the black market, once discovered, it is basically a death sentence.
This is also Andu's plan before, facing the big exam that is coming in more than a month, this is almost the only chance in his life to turn over and get out of the status quo.
As for this kind of academy awarding practice, it is not only for the recognition of students, but also for the protection of students.
In Akmund, even if you have a card ring, you don't necessarily have to be able to bind it successfully.
The world of card rings is very dangerous, and if you don't have enough talent, even if you have a card ring, blind binding can have terrible consequences.
Among them, the binding of the first card ring is the most dangerous, so the college will set that only after passing the assessment will the student be issued a card ring.
In addition to the children of ordinary families, many students with deep family backgrounds and high talents will also bind the card ring in advance with the help of the family.
However, these are a few people after all, but the advantage of binding the card ring in advance also makes them tend to be better than ordinary students and go to cultivation and improvement earlier.
The graduation rate of junior colleges is very low, and usually not one out of a hundred people will make it to pass.
After four years at the college, most students have the option of doing some basic work.
Those who are lucky can also find a good job through their own major, while more people can only choose an ordinary career and put their hopes on the next generation.
After that, those lucky students who have graduated and received the card ring, as well as a few students with excellent grades in the department, will have the opportunity to advance to the provincial colleges, and finally the Imperial High Academy.
In the same way, every time you graduate from the academy, there will be a big exam, if you take the route of learning and pass the assessment every time, then congratulations, the students who graduate from the Imperial Academy will be excellent talents that every country competes for.
This also represents a bright, infinitely better future, because years of study, classmates, knowledge and knowledge around you will be a lifetime of wealth.
But behind these life winners, there are more losers.
Most people's learning and cultivation talents are basically difficult to pass the layers of examinations and selections, and even if they pass the assessment, the differences in relationship networks, family environment, and opportunities are the key to the results.
The reason why many students can't be promoted in the end is often because of completely unrelated reasons.
But the academy is not the only way out, many legends are self-cultivating, and as a result, through their own hard work and talent, they finally write their legends.
In the world of card rings, only those who have reached the three rings are considered to be real veterans, and they are only beginners before.
At the same time, the three precepts are also a new beginning, which means that if you truly step into the realm of this mysterious world, your own spirituality will be further awakened.
Andu, who thought of this, suddenly stopped, and he found a new word in his memory.
Spirituality, divinity.
For example, the cultivation of fighting spirit by warriors, meditation by mages, and prayer by priests are just a kind of practice, which is the improvement of one's own spirit and god.
The understanding and study of spirits and gods in this world has been quite profound, and it is believed that everyone is born with a certain spirituality and divinity.
Cultivating fighting spirit, meditation, etc., are all ways to improve one's spirituality.
By improving one's understanding of communication with the elements, and by maximizing one's potential, spirituality will be developed.
When this level of improvement is reached, you can wear a new card ring, so as to stabilize your own realm.
Basically, in the stage of the first to five precepts, all that is tempered is spirituality, and only then will divinity be involved.
At present, the level of Akmund's card rings, from low to high, corresponds to one to nine card rings, that is, the lowest is one ring, the highest is nine rings, and after that is God.
But no one has ever seen what God looks like, and God never seems to issue oracles, only the occasional miracle that makes it clear that God is always there.
Andu, who was tidying up, suddenly paused, for him, God was actually no stranger.
Thinking of this, Andu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, if the gods he knew in his previous life really existed in this world, then who was the creator of "Life"?
Andu stopped thinking about it, trying to recall some questions about the gods, and couldn't help but be secretly nervous in his heart.
This is a world where there may be real gods, and if the true gods in this world discover what is hidden in themselves......
Andu didn't feel like his fate was going to be much better......
Under the tension, Andu's right hand tapped the edge of the bed again without rhythm.
He lowered his head with a bitter face, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I've really been through a lot of ......"
