Chapter 68 Silver Secret Realm
"Among thousands of ordinary people, there will always be some outstanding ones who stand out because of factors such as blood talent, hard work, and even luck. They are elite soldiers on the battlefield, and they are lone rangers in adventures. They are reputable leaders in the team. This type of powerhouse is collectively referred to as the Bronze Rank, because their power is far superior to that of ordinary fighters, and they use this to reflect their own value."

"This is the origin of the phrase "blood of black iron, power of bronze?" El scratched his head, thinking of his past, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "It turns out that the great knights, great hunters and commanders conferred by the lord are all based on this Is it judged by the standard? I thought I had already left this level, but I didn’t expect that I was still a frog at the bottom of the well.”

"Don't underestimate yourself, dear junior brother, the teacher has always been very critical." Laurana shook her finger, and something gleamed in her eyes: "According to my understanding, judging only from your skills, you are already A mature Bronze-level powerhouse. Even in the Knights of Istaron, there are not many great knights of this level."

"Rare doesn't mean it's rare." El recalled the scene when he was recruited by Captain Kesen. The bearded man was wearing armor and holding a two-handed epee. Formidable enemies such as the double-whip monster can also be dealt with calmly.With his ability, he must belong to the bronze rank, but he can only be a small captain of the security force in the Istaron army.

During the assembly, there were dozens of small captains like Cosen, and El also discovered many soldiers who were stronger than them. This is just a hidden force in the security forces and reserves, Is The actual combat power of Tarun's army can be seen.

In fact, the small captains of these security forces are all retired veterans of the regular army, but El doesn't know this, so he always feels a lot of pressure.

"But you did what they couldn't do." Laurana smiled: "The monsters chasing and killing you that night were the guards of the king worm, also called Mantes scouts. Every adult Mantes scout He was an elite Bronze-level powerhouse, but you completely killed him. The military didn’t know much about the battle sequence of the Landwalker Legion, so they didn’t pay much attention to it, but the teacher keenly noticed that it was unusual.”

"Master Stephen said that I have had a 'first glimpse of silver', is that what he meant?" El's face darkened: "The so-called silver rank means being able to fight ten bronze warriors?"

"Of course not, do you think you are stronger than anyone else?" Laurana poked El's head angrily: "The division of ranks is like the rune system. Human beings are constantly improving themselves. The cognition of the world, more precisely, should be exploration.”

"To use a simple analogy, there is a young man now. When he takes up a weapon and learns to fight, he is considered a qualified black iron warrior. After he has accumulated a wealth of experience in combat, he knows how to use his hands. Only when you can deal more damage with your own weapons and can stand alone, can you barely enter the bronze rank."

"Bronze warriors possess power beyond ordinary people, but they still can't understand the essence of power. It's like fighting with a weapon but don't know why. They are eager to seek breakthroughs, but it is difficult to form a complete understanding of the world .Mages possess knowledge and have a very complete understanding of the world, so it is easy to be promoted. But it is also because there is no solid foundation, it is easier to make mistakes."

"The process of the rune master in this book to establish the rune cycle is very similar to the process of the warrior's promotion to the silver rank. This is like a traveler on a boat in the sea. There is no road on the sea, so the route everyone travels They are all very different. Only a very few lucky ones can open up their own waterway and cross the storm to reach the other shore, so the silver level is also called the silver secret realm."

When it came to theoretical knowledge, the girl immediately showed her professional level. Knowing that Er's cultural level was not enough, she brought out various metaphors and explained clearly from the inside out.

"Wait a minute, why do you understand so clearly? Could it be..." El narrowed his eyes and stared at Laurana suspiciously. He had long suspected that the girl was hiding something.

"Didn't I teach you that it's rude to rashly ask a lady a private topic, my dear junior." Laurana chuckled lightly and avoided the topic.

How can you get along with a lady!El's face was blank, and he slandered desperately in his heart.

"I estimate that when you build a rune cycle, you can directly step into the Silver Secret Realm. Only then will you become a real strong man, a real high-ranking person. The gate of the kingdom will be open for you, and the noble lord will Treat you as a guest of honor, a girl who has endless gold coins to spend and endless fun..."

Laurana slammed on the desk, pulling El's fantasy back: "So dear junior brother, for the sake of a better future, shouldn't you focus on the books now?"

"Who's talking nonsense to me?" Al cried angrily.

In fact, he could also feel that all these knowledge about ranks were told by Laorana to himself on purpose. Although the girl had a deep mind and couldn't see what her intentions were, she was still thinking of herself after all.

The next reading work was much simpler. After confirming El's rune construction idea, Laurana directly skipped the large chapter discussing the first cycle, and started directly from the life rune.The girl always has doubts about her teacher's behavior, and firmly believes that the so-called three-day agreement is by no means a convulsion for no reason.Time is tight, and the most efficient way is to grasp the key points and get straight to the topic, and be prepared just in case.

Laurana's worry soon became a reality. Master Stephen really didn't have the patience to wait until the agreed time, and returned to the tower late that night, taking the girl away without saying a word.

"Master Stephen, what do you want to do?" El only rested for a while, and then heard the girl's screams in his ears. He opened his eyes and jumped up, seeing that Laurana was held hostage by a constructed gargoyle Fly to the top of the tower.

"This has nothing to do with you, go back and rest." Master Stephen waved his hand impatiently and said.I haven't seen him for two days, the old man's face is full of exhaustion, he looks much haggard, and his tone is anxious and irritable.

"You seem to have said that you want Laurana to teach me to read this week." Al pretended to be confused on the surface, and asked tentatively. "Although I don't know the exact time, it's not the third day you mentioned, right?"

"That's right, I said so." Stephen coughed awkwardly and glared at El: "But as far as your level is concerned, I think it's a bit too wasteful for Laurana to teach you. I will teach you tomorrow." Change your teacher."

"But you also said that as long as I can memorize this book within three days, you will reward me with Laurana?" El blinked, and continued to pretend to be stupid. "It's not yet the third day, so you don't count your words?"

"Why don't you want to wipe your neck with a knife and kill yourself now?" Stephen snorted coldly, and smiled angrily: "Don't worry, as long as you have the heart, this agreement is still valid. As compensation, I can extend the reward time limit to seven days. "

After a few perfunctory words, Stephen stopped talking to El, turned around and disappeared into the teleportation light.In his tower, the Great Alchemist has the ability to teleport freely, which is really enviable.

After the old man left, the puzzled expression on El's face instantly darkened.He walked out of the reading room without a word, and looked up at the dark mist at the top of the tower.

After a long time, an inconspicuous little thing fell silently from the sky.When approaching the top of El's head, he suddenly spread his body, pulled out a pair of wings and fluttered a few times, counteracting the impact of the fall, and accurately fell into El's arms.

"Yeah, yip." Little Langa hid in El's arms and let out a coquettish cry, and El pinched her face to comfort her.Just now he pretended to be in a daze and didn't wake up to attract Stephen's attention, just to let his pet secretly follow and look for Laurana's trace.

The great alchemist's powers of observation were extraordinary, he saw through almost all of his hole cards, but he didn't notice at all that the sleeping ground larvae had evolved the ability to fly.

"My partner, tell me what you saw?" El whispered to little Langa.
