Pale Emblem

Chapter 22
The swordsman's weapon is a sharp sword, the bow warrior's weapon is a strong bow, the shield guard's weapon is a heavy blunt weapon, and the animal trainer's weapon is a pet, what is the sage's weapon?
Although Alliance Sage is just a title, not a career path, Maine believes that Sages also have their own weapons.His weapons are the tongue for debate; the quill for writing; learning, thought.It should spread like the plague; be silent like dew; shine like the sun.It can transform the souls of half-elves, it can make barbarians lay down their weapons and pick up hoes; it can determine the rise and fall of city-states.It can break through the limitations of life, and even surpass the confinement of time and space. The weapons of any professional cannot be compared with the knowledge and thinking of sages, but knowledge and thinking also need a carrier.

Paper can be the carrier, and the ultimate carrier can only be intelligent life that is good at learning.

The greatest punishment for a sage is to exile him to a distant city-state border, to be neighbors with the Tagu people, only to be surrounded by a group of barbarian slaves, plus a group of vulgar guards who do not like to learn.

Few understand the torment the sages of Maine endure.He now dreams of a satisfactory student.Therefore, when Vertok, who was like a blank sheet of paper and full of spirituality, appeared in front of Maine, no one could understand how ecstatic this learned old man was.

"Curved script is an ancient script, it appeared much longer than the history of the Disa Alliance, so far that we can't verify the source of the cursive script. We only know that before the establishment of the alliance, the sect of the Mother Earth was prevalent. During the period, the Tagu tribe prohibited the half-elves from disseminating knowledge, and the cursive characters were once lost. Fortunately, the great sage Marv was born more than 1000 years ago, and he concluded a covenant with the dragon king Feirumat. Of course, the dragon king at that time was still the same An ordinary dragon beast cub. The great sage used extraordinary means to cultivate him into a real dragon. With the assistance of Feilumat, the great sage gathered a group of half-elf servants and taught them valuable lessons knowledge, and jointly established the Earth Goddess Sect, laying the foundation for the revival of the half-elf civilization."

"In the ancient ruins of the Dark Land, there are many ancient slates engraved with cursive characters, but the cursive characters commonly used by the Alliance are a variant sorted out by the great sage Marv. Oh, I forgot to say, cursive characters Chinese characters are easily deformed characters, and the font is composed of symbols and lines that resemble 'vines', and as long as regular slight changes are made to the structure of the 'vines' lines, they express completely different meanings."

"Those oldest pillars have their own unique cursive characters, called secret scripts, which are specially used to record some things that are inconvenient for outsiders to know."

"Look, I can spell your name Vertok five different ways."

Mayor Mayen picked up the quill pen and wrote a group of names on the cotton bark paper in succession, with the tip of the pen on the first name, and said triumphantly: "This is 'Vertoc' written in universal script, and the other three The first is the secret script, and the last one is the ancient script of the ruins. Few professionals from the Coral Academy can understand these secret script and ancient script, how can they teach you?”

"Come on, let's start with general characters. You have to pay attention to the posture of holding the pen..."

Maine taught very carefully, and Vertok didn't hear a word of what he said.The text symbols seen by the eyes correspond to the specific meanings, so that the "golden light group" in the conscious world feeds back a lot of memory information.They are all scattered, and it takes Vertok to spend all his mental power to prompt the "knowledge puzzle" to sort out these written memories, causing him to be confused.

Obviously, the sleepy Vertok was not a good student.But Mayor Maine is in a state of amusing himself.He didn't expect a "big baby" to concentrate and learn to write with him.

It doesn't matter if Vertok is in a daze, as long as he stays beside him honestly and listens quietly, Mayor Maine will be satisfied.This is better than those half-elf soldiers who can't sit for a while and find all kinds of excuses to avoid studying.Maine decided that the stupid, greasy brains of the Guardsmen couldn't hold a shred of knowledge.And Vertok can at least get an education.

The mayor wrote large paragraphs on his own, and read them out.The nib of the pen rustled across the dry cotton paper, and the squiggles appeared one after another. Coupled with the old man's reading sound, the memories in Vertok's mind kept surging, and the mere 10 o'clock mental strength began to make ends meet.Gradually, he finally couldn't take it anymore. As soon as he closed his eyes, with a "pop" sound, he lay directly on the floor, like a big toad.

Captain Huck, who was sitting next to him, was shocked and quickly got up to check Vertok, "What's going on? Well, why did he faint? Old man, what did you do?"

Mayor Maine was also startled, and subconsciously defended himself: "I didn't do anything, I just wrote dozens of words, why did he pass out? Hey, this child seems to be asleep."

After checking, Captain Huck found that Vertok really seemed to be asleep, and he was immediately amused, "Haha, this kid is not as good as me, he fell asleep after learning a few crosses... Mayor, you can't teach it, right? ?"

"Go away, how many words can you recognize?"

Vertok slept very deeply. Seeing that Maine could not wake him up, he called to serve his slave girl and moved him to the bed in the guest room.Vertok was unaware of these processes, and his whole mind was immersed in the world of consciousness, witnessing the "golden light group" continuously feeding back written memories.

Words are the carrier of knowledge as well as the carrier of information and memory.Literal memory is connected to a huge and complex information system, including but not limited to pharmacy, there are many more kinds of academic knowledge.It was like pulling the end of a thread and pulling out the clump behind, and Vertoc's ten-point mental attributes simply couldn't accept so much content.

Therefore, this recovery of memory is different from any previous time, at least Vertok slept much longer than the previous few times.It wasn't until noon the next day that he woke up from the wonderful state of the golden toad's secret shape.

However, he did not open his eyes in a hurry, but continued to lie in bed to check the gains brought by memory recovery.

Spiritual strength increases by 5, and the upper limit of spirit attribute reaches 15 points.

The current mental attribute is 15 points, the physical attribute is 12 points, the perception attribute is 12 points, and the life attribute is 15 points.

Stage goal: Make the three attributes of physique, perception, and life match the current 15 points of mental attributes, reaching 18 points of physique, 22 points of perception, and 25 points of life.

Master the dexterous hands, the third-level learning talent; master the three forging methods of barbarian, spirit monkey and golden toad; master the fighting skills of the lion and lion, and the skills of the wolf; master the secret method of origin blood from the 1st to the 3rd level.

The ultimate goal: unlock the knowledge puzzle and find yourself.

Method: Use the forging method to improve the four attributes to the upper limit; use the learning talent to collect all kinds of information, and continue to get feedback on the knowledge puzzle.

With the improvement of mental strength and the recovery of memory, Vertok has a further understanding of his own situation.

First of all, he remembered that spiritual attributes correspond to a life grading standard. Below 10 spiritual attributes, it represents the level barrier of ordinary people, which is the black iron rank; from 11 to 15 spiritual attributes, it is the bronze rank, which represents the apex of mortals, and is the limit that ordinary people can reach.Once you exceed this limit, you will enter the realm of the extraordinary.Spirit Attributes from 16 to 25 are also called Silver Rank; Spirit Attributes above 25 and below 35 are higher Gold Ranks; Spirit Attributes above 36 are Legendary!
What level of realm after the legend, Vertok can't think of it now.Maybe there is, maybe not, because ordinary people spend their whole lives trying to break the bronze rank, and it is extremely difficult to set foot in the transcendent realm, not to mention the golden and legendary ranks in the back?

Vertok did not know how the alliance professional level corresponds to the concept of life in his memory, but he has now reached the apex of a mortal, the upper limit of the bronze rank, which is only one step away from the extraordinary realm of the silver rank.

The upper limit of mental strength of 15 points means that the upper limit of the three major attributes of physique, perception, and life has been improved.If he now has 18 points of physique, 22 points of perception, and 25 points of life, he can easily lift a ton of heavy objects, walk for tens of kilometers, and see birds thousands of meters away on the way. The sound of mud scorpions digging holes within 200 meters.

Simply put, Vertoc became smarter, able to afford greater strength, sharper senses, and a stronger body.

Of course, it is not as simple as before that he wants to increase the strength of the three attributes of physique, perception, and life to the upper limit.In particular, if the perception and life attributes exceed 20 points, you will also encounter a solid barrier, but as long as you can cross the barrier, you can get some extraordinary talents.

All of these were also expected by Vertok. He was convinced that it would be difficult for him to break the attribute barrier with the three basic training methods. At the same time, he also determined that practicing the secret method of Origin Blood was the right way to obtain gluttony, regeneration, and life tenacity. Three extraordinary talents.This means that the source blood secret technique can push his physique and life attributes to the peak, and can also break the 20-point attribute barrier.

Only the perception attribute how to break through 20 points, he still has no specific method.

In fact, the most difficult thing to break through is the upper limit of spiritual attributes.Vertok has no trouble in this regard. His spiritual power is unfathomable, but most of the spiritual power is entangled with broken memory information, forming the "golden light group" of the world of consciousness, which cannot be called.

If the "knowledge puzzle" in the "golden light group" has sorted out and stored all the broken information.Vertoc can restore full power and memory.

Before that, his memory was chaotic.

This time, by watching Mayor Maine write the text, "Knowledge Puzzle" sorted out Vertok's text memory, and there is room for him to give back 5 points of spiritual power.Vertok was not happy.

Word memory involves a lot of knowledge and information, and the knowledge of pharmacy alone would take about two to 30 years for ordinary people to study thoroughly.In addition to pharmacy memory, Wiltok now also has learning memory of blacksmithing, architecture, surveying and mapping, etc.However, the "knowledge puzzle" sorted them all out, and the rotation speed of the "golden light cluster" only slowed down a little.

God knows how much broken information is in the "golden light cluster", but it's frustrating enough.

Fortunately, Vertok's mind is smarter than before. It is a matter of course that his learning talent has reached the third level, and his learning ability will become stronger. The most obvious change is that he can use the brain in a relatively awake state. "Knowledge puzzle", no need to concentrate on "reviewing" the past.

The recovered text memory and learning memory are all in the "knowledge puzzle". As long as Vertok thinks about it, he can remember it.Vertoc can also hand over some difficult problems to the Knowledge Puzzle.

For example, a simple calculation such as one plus one equals two can be solved by himself. If the problem that needs to be calculated is a hundred times more difficult, he will hand the problem to the "knowledge puzzle" and wait for the answer while doing other things.

All in all, the "smart" Vertok is less likely to be fooled by others than the "dumb" Vertok.

When Mayor Mayne taught him to write, he talked about some things that Vertok couldn't pay attention to at the time. Looking back now, he thinks those things are quite important, especially the name of the great sage Malfoy makes him seem familiar. Feel.

If it is said that cooperating with Physician Cole, refining the source blood potion, and the language spoken by the female shaman Sina are clues to unlock memory, then the great sage Marv, the earth goddess sect, and the earth mother sect are also a few clues. new clues.

Vertok immediately jumped up from the bed, and the movement he made brought John, who had been guarding the door, into the room.

"Vertok, you're awake...do you feel any discomfort?"

The head officer of the training camp in Braun opened the door and saw Vertok wearing clothes. He was pleasantly surprised and worried: "You fell asleep suddenly when you were learning to write cursive, and we can't wake you up, Captain Huck. Send someone to Braun and find Dr. Cole overnight. After seeing you, Uncle Cole said you're just too sleepy. If you feel something is wrong, I'll go to him right away..."

"I'm fine, I'm in good spirits now." Vertok put on his clothes, picked up the sheathed long sword leaning against the corner, pulled it out and looked at it, secretly slandering the long sword made by Captain Huck. Sophisticated.

There are several methods in his mind that can forge a better quality long sword, such as steel swords, fine iron swords, fine gold swords, the forging methods are relatively simple, and more advanced forging techniques need to spend some time. Think.But if he wanted to forge a long sword according to the method he remembered, he had to practice at the blacksmith for a while.

This sword is enough for now... Victor flicked the edge of the sword with his fingers, returned the sword to the sheath, put it back into the wall, and ran out the door excitedly.

"Vill, where are you going?" John asked after him.

Vertok hurried up to the second floor and said without looking back, "I want to learn to write from Mayor Maine."
