"Is there any reason?" Lacey was also a little curious about the ocean sequence.
"This has to start a long time ago." Rachel told the family records while playing on the swing.
"Our ancestors were originally farmers by Lake Kemper. In their early years, they only made a living growing some food or fishing."
"Hundreds of years ago, there was a severe drought in this area and the lake dried up. Our ancestors caught fish and clams in the mud of the lake to survive. Then they accidentally discovered a heritage gem."
"This gem records the progression route from Ocean Sequence 1: River Fisherman to Ocean Sequence 5: Ebbing Ship, including the practice methods and required resources. In this way, the Yagtilin family was born."
"But starting from Sequence 4, the advancement of extraordinary people often requires some rare items or conditions to advance. To advance to Ocean Sequence 5: Ebbing Tide Ship, you need the skull of a sunken blue whale. But this strange whale lives in the deep sea.
Rarely shows up."
"Although we have been searching and collecting carefully, there have only been two occurrences of Ocean Sequence 5 in our family's history. It was only through the good luck of that generation that we obtained the skull of a sunken blue whale."
"So, are these rare resources the main factor limiting advancement?"
"Well, at least before Sequence 7, it mainly depends on talent, mentor, and resources. But Sequence 7 starts to pay more attention to personal talent and strength, and I don't know about Sequence 9. I just heard people say that it's all
A job agency like no other in the world.”
What Rachel said was something Lorraine Hill had read about in Trinasha's records, but she didn't feel it deeply because the extraordinary knowledge education in the Mercury Dynasty was extremely popular, and the resources required for advancement were also abundant. As long as you were talented enough,
, you can practice unimpeded, quickly, and rise straight up.
After listening to Rachel's description, she understood why there are so few extraordinary beings in the world today. One is the lack of relevant knowledge and education, and the other is the lack of resources.
As for the two extraordinary sequences she practiced, the natural sequence was deduced by the system and required very few follow-up resources. The fruit of amber red maple was enough. The demon sequence was even weirder and did not even require anything else.
Resources can be accumulated over time to break through the promotion limit.
If ordinary people's cultivation is like starting from a blank piece of paper, as the extraordinary core is later built, the strength of the paper is not enough, so they will find wood as a skeleton support, and then when they advance to a high level, they will find steel support to make up for it.
Innate lack of strength.
However, due to the influence of Lorraine Hill's own talent, it is as strong as a diamond from the beginning, and its hardness and sharpness have reached its peak. Naturally, there is no need for other resources to make up for its own shortcomings.
The deep red extraordinary core in the sea of consciousness of Lorraine Hill is absorbing the Mana around it all the time, and then converts it into the magic power of the demon sequence. After that, these magic powers are further purified and condensed into tiny particles.
of red particles.
These particles are continuously transformed and generated by the extraordinary core like an hourglass, and then slowly settle. When the hourglass is full, it means that Lorraine Hill can advance to Demon Sequence 4: Song of the Rose. This process takes about half a year.
Time, it's a pity that she fell into a complete sleep before, and the extraordinary core also stopped silently, otherwise she would have advanced a long time ago.
"Lacie, I'm actually a little envious of you." Rachel slowly stopped the swing, and finally sat on the wooden board of the swing, turning her head to look at Lacey.
"I will be getting married next year, and my partner is Pinell of Hopeland."
Lorraine Hill was a little surprised. Do you want to get married as soon as you reach adulthood? But then I thought about it, maybe it is a normal phenomenon in this world.
She raised her head and looked at Rachel: "Do you like him?"
"I have only met him once. He is a bit tall and doesn't talk much. I can't say I like him, nor can I say I hate him. My second brother is familiar with him. He is a member of Bailan Cross Sword and Master Helang's favorite.
apprentice."
The White Orchid Cross Sword is an extraordinary faction in Verga. It mainly practices the war sequence. The highest advanced route it has mastered is the war sequence 7. The White Orchid Sword is the hero of more than a thousand years ago, the White Flower Saint, and was possessed by Durlan.
Founded.
Extraordinary factions are different from family inheritance. They don't particularly value blood relations, but they value the master-disciple relationship and the consistency of ideas. If you are talented enough, pass their faction's assessment, and swear to abide by their traditions, you can become their disciple and learn this.
Extraordinary knowledge of the faction.
The advantage is that due to the wide range of disciples and the large number of members, the faction can always maintain the presence of Sequence 6 or above in each generation, and because the advancement route of the training sequence is the same, you can exchange experiences with other members without going astray or making big mistakes.
question.
But the disadvantage is that factions often only focus on one or two advanced routes, and not everyone is suitable for this route. If you are a genius who pursues higher goals, you will be at a disadvantage if you join the faction, unless he happens to be talented in this route.
Also, because of the relationship between oaths and traditions, faction members generally cannot change other sequences, otherwise it will be regarded as a kind of betrayal.
It's a bit similar to the sects in martial arts, but the factions are more free. They don't all live together, they only meet and communicate at specific times, and the members also have their own lives.
"Master Helang liked this disciple very much and gave him a blue-sunken whale skull he got when he was young as a betrothal gift. My father inspected his character and thought he was pretty good, so he agreed."
"Then what do you think, Rachel." Lorraine Hill noticed from the words of the girl next to her that she didn't seem to want to get married.
"Oh, it's not that I hate it. I will get married anyway. It's just that there are many things I have to do before I get married. I will give birth to children for others, take care of my husband and family at home every day, and then become an old man.
Woman, this kind of life sounds terrifying." Rachel pressed her two index fingers on her cheeks and made a bitter look at Lorraine Hill.
"Giggle... No way, the Yagtilin family is considered wealthy after all, and it's not your turn to do housework or anything like that." Lorraine Hill replied with a smile.
"That's what I say, but being restrained is inevitable." Rachel began to swing on the swing again.
"I want to experience the feeling of flying. I want to go to school in Emenas. I want to see what geniuses are like around the world. I want to be free to choose the extraordinary sequence I like. I want to become Sequence 7 and gain supreme freedom.
!”
Rachel sat on the swing, speaking out her heart's desire loudly, venting her inner depression for a long time.
Lorraine Hill looked at the girl who longed for freedom, and some memories from time slowly emerged in his mind. In that memory, which seemed like a world away, there was once a figure who had made the same cry.
