Chapter 27 Lowering the Threshold
Pate initially thought that this was a difference in treatment from the God of Knowledge, and that he and Reina enjoyed different treatment.
After a second thought, I reacted.
"Oh, no."
The few spells he learned, [Hatha's Hunger], were life-threatening at the time. With the help of his survival potential, he didn't think too much and succeeded in one try.
Later, in the interrogation room of the police station, the [True Name Knowing] spell was not complicated, and he learned this non-offensive spell in one go.
Later, whether it was [Arcane Missile] or the divine spell of the God of Justice, he never failed in these, and they were all successes.
The so-called practice progress is to let people know where they failed this time and how far they are from success.
If you have no failure experience and succeed in one try, of course you don’t need to see any progress bar!
That’s okay!
Peter now even feels a little uncomfortable with this feeling of learning it instantly.
In the past, when he believed in the goddess of magic, his spiritual path was a stumbling block!
Because the goddess of magic is not as generous as the god of knowledge, she is willing to break apart a spell and crush it into pieces, and all the mysteries and details in it are clearly displayed.
At that time, if he wanted to master a spell, Pate often had to spend a lot of time and experience many failures for which he could not find the reason.
Now he has Novan, the god of knowledge, as his faith.
Spell?
That thing is not something that can be learned instantly!
Just have some hands!
Because he had actually been caught in the rain before, Pat could really feel how important this help provided by the God of Knowledge was to his believers.
In one night, Peter witnessed Lena's practice process with his own eyes.
At first, Reina could only barely make her body become illusory for a moment, and could not achieve the effect of [stealth] at all;
Later, the effect of blurring the figure became better and better. If you didn't observe carefully, you could hardly find the location of the other party.
Finally, when a ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, Lena was able to rely on the power of gathering shadows to make her body completely transparent and illusory, completely integrating into the surrounding environment to an extent that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.
After a night of practice, Lena, who had made great progress, was in a happy mood and happily shared her experience with Pet: "Mr. Pet, the god of knowledge told me that 70% of the progress has been completed now."
"Whenever I can keep the stealth effect while moving, I will consider my practice a success!"
Peter smacked his lips.
This efficiency, even if he had expected it, was still a bit astonishingly fast.
Taking the first step from an ordinary person to a professional is very difficult.
This difficulty is not only the difficulty of practice, but also includes various external conditions and channels.
If you want to become a professional, you don't just need to pray to the corresponding god and then "I wonder if I can do it this way" to learn the relevant spells, combat skills or divine arts.
If there is no correct method, the truth is that it will be difficult to succeed after a lifetime of hard work.
The formal method requires you to go to the corresponding church, college, or training ground, and then pay a large fee as "tuition", and there is a limit on the number of places for a period of time.
The church deacons responsible for guiding the way arranged a special place and provided various precious items to assist in spiritual practice.
The most important point is that high-level professionals regularly come to use divine spells, ask the gods to cast their gaze, and help newcomers become professionals, so as to reduce the difficulty of taking the "first step" as much as possible.
However, just the “significant fee” that needs to be paid before starting the first step will tie up large numbers of ordinary people.
The Baron Manor of the Pet family is in a small town near the dark forest in the east of the Kingdom of Leyak. An ordinary family in that town works hard for a month, and after deducting various living expenses, the top At most, there will be a balance of more than a dozen silver coins.
After working hard for a year, the deposit was worth one gold coin from the Kingdom of Reyak.
Greenport's economy is more developed, and the conditions of ordinary people in Xiacheng District are better, but the savings they can save each year are basically less than 2 gold coins.
The entry fee for a professional, even the most accessible and cheapest warrior profession, is 5 gold coins. This does not include the expenses for soldiers to exercise and purchase weapons, armor and other necessities.
You know, buying a small house with a yard in the Pet family's town only costs a dozen gold coins!
Ordinary families who want to support a professional start with half a house, and there is no guarantee of success.
This threshold is enough to deter most ordinary people.
But here at the God of Knowledge, the situation has changed dramatically.
The first step in the Rogue career path is to fully master the [Stealth] combat skill.
"While moving, the Stalker can still remain invisible from a distance of 5 meters, and it can last stably for at least 1 minute."
If you meet these criteria, you have mastered this combat skill.
According to Reina's progress, Peter estimated that she might be able to reach the target after practicing a few more times!
During this period, did she pay any other costs besides practicing hard?
Not at all!
No money spent!
No need for a guide!
Norwin, the god of knowledge, has already taken on the role of guiding the way, and the effect is better than the deacons in the church who are responsible for bringing in new people!
The reason why the nobles of the Kingdom of Reyak are superior to the common people, apart from the so-called "bloodline", is that the nobles often have enough property to learn to become a professional.
Civilians often can only work day after day and earn little remuneration to make a living.
Descendants of nobles become professionals, and according to the noble law of the Kingdom of Reyak, they can still become nobles.
The descendants of common people are still ordinary people, they are still common people.
But the appearance of Novan, the god of knowledge, seems to be breaking this rule.
Pat was thinking.
With his status, if he wanted to maintain the status of the nobles, he should do everything possible to curb the spread of the sect of the God of Knowledge.
Otherwise, if commoners can become professionals, then they can naturally be made new nobles by the king.
What superiority did the original nobles have?
…
But there was another voice shouting in Peter's heart:
It's true that he was born into a noble family, but there are also different levels of nobles!
A small border aristocrat like him can’t actually get into those core aristocratic circles!
Those nobles in the royal capital had better family backgrounds and higher strength than him. When they mentioned the descendants of minor nobles like Pet, they would often say "from the border" with disdain.
The gap in all aspects could not be made up by Pat's hard work.
So he decided to settle down and come to Green Harbor to get certified as a third-level mage, then go back to inherit his father's title and wait to die.
However, after gaining strength from Norwin through faith in the God of Knowledge, Pet felt his mentality was gradually changing.
Just become a level 3 mage and stay at the border in despair for the rest of your life?
The channel to obtain power was clearly right in front of him!
As long as you work hard, you can reach it!
An emotion called "ambition" is quietly rising in Peter's heart...
"I think I was too conservative before. Our black market money-making plan may be a little more aggressive."
Peter raised his head and said seriously to Lena, who was about to go upstairs to do morning prayers after finishing practice.
