Chapter 4 The Path of the Knight and the Path of the Magician
"It seems that the next direction is to start with improving one's own strength and collecting intelligence..."
Hodge murmured softly and wrote two words in Chinese with a pen.
【knight】
【Magician】
If you want to become stronger quickly in a short period of time, taking magic potion is the best choice.
This is a promotion method that belongs to this world. Each major stage of promotion must be completed with magic potions. In each sequence, you need to digest the power of the corresponding magic potion and fully grasp this power accompanied by madness and mutation.
Currently, there are two roads before him.
Knight Path and Magician Path.
This is the official profession of the Salom Empire, and it is also a sequential path supported by the empire and the three major churches.
Hodge didn't know much about the specific sequence names. He only knew about two professions, divided into nine sequences, from Sequence 9, Sequence 8... all the way to Sequence 1.
The names of each occupational sequence are different, and there are also considerable differences between the ancient names and modern names.
"Just now, my father asked me to choose the corresponding potion. He was also letting me choose my future path..."
"Before the coming-of-age ceremony, every heir has basically taken the corresponding magic potion. I am relatively late."
Hodge is actually not averse to taking magic potions to improve his abilities.
After all, the requirements of the inheritance law are here. If Hodge wants to inherit the title, the power and status of the Marquis, he must meet this prerequisite.
After an almost nightmare incident, Hodge's desire to become stronger is now extremely urgent.
"Sequence 9 of the Knight Path, called Knight, can strengthen your physique and improve your ability to control mounts, weapons, and firearms. Reaction, speed, and strength can all be significantly improved. You can also have two special abilities.
.”
"The first is madness, which rapidly secretes adrenaline, causing the blood vessels and muscles in the body to be congested. In a short period of time, it has violent power, enough to sweep away several soldiers below sequence 9, and even be able to fight in close combat in the same sequence.
, occupying the dominant advantage.”
"The second is weapon proficiency. The essence of a potion is to seize the power of a special existence from the potion. After becoming a Sequence 9 Knight, a pattern of intertwined swords, shields and guns will appear on the back of your hands. All weapons will be available to you.
The ability to perfectly control can easily control any type of weapons, including guns, machinery and other special weapons."
Hodge thought for a moment, then opened another book called "Magic Knowledge", looked at the records above, and murmured: "The magician path, sequence 9 is called apothecary. After taking the magic potion, you will also be able to
He has two abilities, namely alchemy and medicinal material identification."
"If the knight's path is about physical strengthening, then the magician's path is about the strengthening of consciousness and spiritual power. By awakening the spiritual power, you can connect with the power of natural elements, and then use the language of connecting with the mysterious power to cast the corresponding magic."
"Alchemy can quickly connect the alchemy array, dissolve, combine, change the essential structure of matter, and achieve attack, defense and other functions. Simply put, it can change the material structure of items, turn stones into iron swords, and complete the "point"
"Stone turns into gold" effect.
"But the only pity is that substances like gold seem to be tainted with some special power and are difficult to transform through alchemy. Otherwise, all magicians who can transform stones into gold will become top-notch rich people."
"Of course, if one day comes, the gold system will collapse. Moreover, the empire has already issued an order prohibiting any alchemists from participating in gold-related refining. Once discovered, they will be immediately imprisoned in the imperial prison, the whole family will be imprisoned, and the nobles will have their titles revoked.
, citizens are demoted to civilians, and civilians are directly demoted to slaves. At the same time, any gold with traces of magic contamination will be rejected by various banks. This is also the empire's vigilance and defense against alchemy."
"Medicine identification, as the name suggests, is the ability to identify various complex and diverse medicinal materials. Magicians are almost natural pharmacists."
"Sequence 9 of the Magician Path is not very helpful in improving your strength, but it is more functional. Many people who pursue stability will choose to become pharmacists and work safely in pharmacies, hospitals and other places.
, get a good weekly salary.”
"Only starting from Sequence 8: Magic Apprentice can you cast the corresponding magic circle, use combat magic, send out fireballs, ice cones, violent winds and other abilities."
Huo Qi silently closed the book and thought to himself: "As far as the current form is concerned, the magician is not suitable for me. If this crisis cannot be solved, no way will matter."
Hotch had already planned to choose the knight path, but he was not in a hurry to go to his father and ask for the corresponding potion formula and potion materials.
Because since I said 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 a Sequence 9 one day earlier and one day later in solving the current crisis.
In fact, from beginning to end, Hodge never intended to be a lone hero and solve this matter by himself.
Huo Qi is not an idiot. He has the status of heir to a marquis, and he has fiefdom troops, foreign aid from the empire, and church help. He wants to fight alone. This is not a hero, but a fool's errand.
Whatever your identity is, you should behave accordingly.
Whatever identity you have, you should use the power of that identity.
Hodge's current identity is that he is the only heir to a marquis. His father, Marquis Bach, is one of the nine great marquises in the empire. He has a prominent position, and the power and connections he has at his disposal are extremely astonishing.
The way to break the situation is to use all available power to give the invading enemy a full blow.
A hungry tiger still has all its strength when it comes to attacking a rabbit, let alone him.
Facing such an enemy with mysterious origins and powerful strength, one cannot take it too seriously.
After all, I have been killed once...
Hotch turned his attention again to the paper on which the information had just been listed, and he keenly discovered some problems.
"The date of the attack is seven days after the dinner is over. Why seven days later?"
"Not tonight?"
"Not tomorrow night either?"
"Just a coincidence?"
Hotch shook his head, feeling that things were not that simple.
There is no hate without reason, and there is no love without reason.
To allow such a crazy and evil heretic to invade so unscrupulously and kill the Marquis' family must have a greater purpose and reason.
It is really unreasonable for a church that believes in evil gods to openly challenge the empire and the church.
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 among the six true God churches.
Their family is a believer in the Holy Church and is protected by the True God Church.
Even a cult would not dare to blatantly anger such a huge force!
Hodge felt that his father must have done something in the past seven days to anger a certain force in the empire or a certain family, which led to this crazy attack.
So what exactly is this reason?
Hodge fell into thinking. Combining some of the situations he knew, he gradually came up with a guess.
There is only one reason why the enemy can be so unscrupulous...
