Chapter 364: The Non-existent Dice
“The betrayer of huene sent Annan away, Nolan sat alone in the baselass of wine, andat it
His expression was coet information about Nicholas
Unlike the carefree attitude he had shown, Nolan was suspicious of Nicholas long before AnnanWater Port
Nicholas’s background was a blank slate
Nolan confirh various means
The Old Crow didn’t knohy Nicholas didn’t die, didn’t knohy he came here and didn’t kno he crossed the border He didn’t even knohat he possessed and was his strength stronger or weaker than before
But the Old Croas sure about one thing
This man was indeed Nicholas, who “died”with the information Annan provided, he had resolved many of the previous confusions:
Nicholas was a Gold Rank wizard, notably a wizard who specialized in the Alteration School Why were there no clues on his previous inventions, research results, and alteration products?
Even the Silver Rank Alteration Wizard would leave behind great inventions that would pass down for decades, not to mention Nicholas was at Gold Rank
Moreover, those without a “strong desire” that was determined and fir on the path of transcendence required alood wit and adaptability, to successfully clear at least one night to be a secret keeper
As for the advanceer had to accuh power For the final step of advancement, if the soul erosion by the curse was overboard, the part of “coughing out iht even be fatal
The benchmark that determined life and death was 65 soul purity
If more than ⅔ of the soul were already corrupted by the curse, the reh to support the soul
Thus, the soul would collapse directly and couldn’t even support the independent nighthter had recently purified
As long as the erosion rate was higher than 25, there would be a period of vulnerability and weakness after the rank advancement Then, it would take a few days for the recovery period to officially obtain the “pure power” of the Silver Rank — the so-called “third developmental period”
In this world, the transcendent scholars considered the process frorow up to four or five years old, being able to run, eat, drink, and learn to speak, as the “first develop of the mind”
The period from twelve to seventeen was considered the “second develop of the physique”
The third develop of the soul”
Just like thechild and the physicalinto the Silver Rank, the soul had just an at this stage
If the soul was not pure enough, it was ie safely
For the advance”, the h as 15
Although it was less than 20, it was actually a high mortality rate As a matter of fact, the advanceer could not afford to fail Thus, they would be well-prepared with confidence before co to it
What stood in the way of this benchmark was “desire”, or rather “obsession”
The source of the “hue” of the Dyed Rank was the challenger’s desire The direction of advancement must be the same as the desire If the desire were to obtain a perfect body, the challenger would not smoothly advance into the Gold Rank in the path of Alteration Wizard; if he desired true wisdom, he could not utilize the Berserker profession to attain the advancement
That was the true essence behind the “profession”
The desire itself was auous Even a true warrior, who desired to die in battle and desired battle and glory, had led in his mind
The purpose of “profession” was to have an “adobe” with a rough idea
Transcended had to translate the right desire into it, temper it, and refine it
In the process of advance fuel was one’s obsession
This was the literal process of “forging”
It was impossible to smelt iron in an ordinary oven To burn the soul and extract the elee
As the Cup-holding Lady said, “Hues” From ancient tihts in the streets, there must be the shadow of “desire” in any event
