"From a commoner to a major-general … Gail will definitely get a title. That's from a commoner to a noble …"
Joel's eyes were filled with desire.
To him, Gail was his dream!
"Is there no other way besides the army and the church?" Lady Lily was very disappointed.
"Not necessarily. There's a huge underground market in Carlston … It's very common to trade in the first three ranks, but you have to keep your eyes open. It's full of fake knowledge and shoddy products. For example, some of the ranks with no future like to be sold, hoping to earn back research funds and collect more experimental data …"
Chris exhaled, "Furthermore … Strictly speaking, that is illegal and not protected. Even if you are cheated, or even lose your life because of it, you won't be able to find the person responsible … Another thing to say, private research on mysteries requires strong financial support. Very strong, because the price of the secret of the first rank is about 100 pounds!"
Gold pounds were the highest unit of currency in the Clement Kingdom, a type of gold coin.
There were many of these little cuties lying quietly in Chung Shen-soo's pocket.
On the front was the portrait of the founding king, Clement, and on the back was a double-headed dragon with a circle of sawteeth to prevent scratches. It was not light, and was very rich in gold.
The gold pounds in Chung Shen-soo's hands were of course not stolen or robbed, but forged.
After all, which cultivator did not know how to forge weapons?
Moreover, he was sure that these gold pounds were real. After all, they were all forged from Eastern gold, and there was no difference in the content.
It was just convenient for circulation.
He had already taken 20 gold pounds with him to use. If he needed more, he could even build a mint in the Wuji Pearl. After all, he had to find something for so many people to do.
"100 gold pounds, 100 gold pounds …" Joel fell into a daze.
Joel entered a state of absent-mindedness. From the moment he was born until now, he had not even seen a single gold pound. After a long time, a hint of a bitter smile appeared on his face. Originally … I was planning on working while saving up the money needed to buy some mysterious knowledge …
Chung Shen-soo could not help but roll his eyes. "Working to buy mystical knowledge? Do you think you're playing a game?"
"And this is only the most basic. If the secret medicine needed is very advanced, or if the ritual needs gems and other precious materials, it will be a very heavy burden …"
Kerry's voice was low, because even he couldn't afford it.
Lady Lily also let out a poor sigh.
"Although we can't enter the mysterious hall immediately, just lingering at the entrance and admiring the light is enough to excite us, isn't it?"
Chung Shen-soo chuckled and broke the awkward atmosphere. "According to Mr. Chris, there are many paths to the mysterious sequence, but most of them have huge flaws. The complete paths are in the hands of those big forces or ancient families?"
"Indeed, so joining them is the best solution." Chris sighed. "I've received an acceptance letter from the Medici Royal Academy. I'm going to Carlston to study for three years. I believe that as long as I perform well enough, I'll definitely be chosen."
"Hmm, the university students of this era can't even be described as God's favored ones …"
Chung Shen-soo was not surprised to see Ms. Lily's admiring gaze.
"I still want to know more about mysticism."
He thought for a moment, took out five gold pounds, and placed them on the table. They were lined up in a dazzling luster, immediately attracting the gazes of Joel and Lady Lily. "And knowledge has a price, so I choose to buy it. For example, information on the various great families and the hierarchy of the churches."
"Although it's an honorable thing for a superior to give money to a subordinate, why does he think he's nobler than Mr. Chris?"
Ms. Lily looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little angry.
The West's concept was different from the East's. Accepting a gift from a superior was a very honorable thing, but the premise was that the other party was really a superior.
"No problem … I've always been a fan of mysticism, but unfortunately, the highest public knowledge is only up to the fifth sequence …"
What Chris did next made Ms. Lily very disappointed. He smiled and accepted the gold pounds. "Regarding the complete chain of control of the major families and the Church … Hmm, first is the royal Medici family. It and its branches control a series of very scary professions. Those Beyonders can perform divination, torture souls, enslave evil spirits … I only know that its first sequence is — [Spirit Child]!"
"I can roughly guess that its fourth sequence is — [Herder], and the first sequence is probably spiritualist …"
Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"In that case, the fifth sequence in the West is known as a legend, equivalent to a Primordial Core? And that Primordial Core adept just now was easily captured by the Primordial Soul of the sixth sequence. The remaining unlucky Divine Ability adepts were besieged by even more fourth sequence Beyonders and all died … "
"Hmm, the first sequence can roughly correspond, but the sixth sequence might not correspond to the Primordial Soul … The East and the West are originally different cultivation systems, how can they strictly correspond to one another? Perhaps the sixth sequence and the seventh sequence here are equivalent to the complete Primordial Soul stage, or perhaps its seventh sequence is equivalent to the Undead Immortal stage? Without experiencing it personally, who can say for sure? "
"And 'equivalent' and 'corresponding' are very vague concepts. The true strength can only be known after a fight …"
"The [Herder] that I obtained back then was obviously in the sequence controlled by the Medici family … If I was here back then, perhaps I would have climbed along the mystical system …"
He saw that Joel was a little restrained and could not help but smile. "Sharing is also a virtue. Let us listen together …"
"Actually, although I have studied many public classics, mysticism is too vast, and the information above the legendary level is even more strictly sealed and confidential, so I only did some insignificant summary and summary work …" Chris was slightly ashamed and continued.
Chris was slightly ashamed, and continued, "The mainstream of the military is the [Soldier], which can be promoted to the second position of the [Warrior]. It is said that there is a branch here, the [Warrior] is in the third position, and has two choices, [Knight] and [Swordsman] … Yes, the chain is not a single line, but like a big tree, there are branches. As for the fourth position, I don't know much about it, it was only because of the matter with Major General Gail that I knew that the [Knight] branch can be promoted to the fifth position, which is the [Dragon Knight]!"
"In addition, the Traveler's Church controls the sequence of believers. The first sequence is called [Servant], the second sequence is [Believer], and the third sequence is [Deacon]. There may be a [Bishop] after that, but I don't know its specific level …"
