Chapter 658 The Essence of Rules
"Avis, you said you wanted to know the whole process of my breakthrough to the ninth level?"
In the study of Moon Castle, Duke Carrot sat behind the heavy black dragon blood wood desk, frowning as he looked at Avis, who was wearing an academic cloak and white gloves and had a calm expression, his pale blue eyes slightly narrowed.
After the civil war in the empire really broke out, it was not only the warring provinces of Karlas and Mosasaur that were affected, but the entire top leadership of the empire.
There is no treaty between the two parties that forbids attacking the children of the other family. Except for safe areas like Pamir Academy, which are guarded by ninth-level experts and maze locks, other places are in danger of being attacked.
And Avis didn't hesitate to risk the war and quietly ran back to Moon Castle from Pamir Academy just to ask him this question? "Before I answer you, Avis, you must answer me truthfully. Is this a question you want to ask yourself, or is there someone who wants to know?"
As he asked this question, an invisible pressure emanated from behind Duke Carrot and spread throughout the study.
The air seemed to be a little stagnant, making it difficult to breathe.
But what surprised the Duke was that under the pressure he suddenly applied, Avis's calm demeanor did not change at all, and even his body did not shake at all.
"This is entirely my own problem, Father."
With a textbook-like smile on his face, Avis gently touched his chest and saluted, as if the Duke's pressure was just a breeze.
"To be honest, it's too early for you to ask this question now. Unless you already have a strength close to the eighth level, you won't be able to understand it even if I'm willing to tell you."
Hearing Avis's answer, Carrot frowned even deeper, and stroked the Evergrande cufflinks with his index finger, instinctively wanting to reject Avis' question.
However, just as he uttered the words, the Duke's fingers suddenly stopped, and a somewhat horrifying guess flashed through his mind like lightning.
"Wait... Avis, what is your true strength now?"
Facing Duke Carrot's question, Anvis smiled and was about to answer when the Duke suddenly stopped him.
"No, wait, you don't have to answer me...some secrets, once told, are no longer secrets!"
After looking at Anvis deeply, Duke Carrot leaned forward slightly, as if trying to determine whether the Anvis standing in front of him was really him.
"I know you very well, Anvis. With your personality, you are not the kind of person who would do meaningless things. From childhood to adulthood, you have always been like this, and you have your own opinions on everything you do.
Although I don't know what you are planning, I can transmit the specific process of my breakthrough to you if it can really help you."
As he spoke, the Duke stood up, walked to the tall arched window, and looked out at the majestic and steep snow-capped mountains and the green plains in the distance.
"Anvis, before you went to Pamir Academy, I once asked you and Fiona a question in a practical class. What is the fighting style of the 'nobles'?"
Without looking back, Duke Carrot stared into the distance, as if talking to himself.
“Now, do you have a new answer?”
"The nobles' fighting style? I think it is to spend a lot of money to buy more advanced equipment and rare items, and then rely on the stronger equipment to kill the opponent."
Anvis answered immediately.
"You're right, but that's only a small part of it."
Carrot nodded slightly, not denying Avis' answer.
"There's another thing you need to understand first, which is what does the word 'noble' mean?"
“Before we became nobles, our status came from strength.
But when we become nobles, our power comes more from our status."
"So, Anvis, have you ever thought about how status gives us power?"
As he spoke, the Duke walked to a tall arched window on the side of the study and pointed to a snow-capped mountain outside the window.
“For example, I want to see the sea from my study, but now there is a high mountain blocking my view.
If I were not a noble, then if I wanted the mountain to disappear from my sight, I would have to do it myself and use the power of a spellcaster of at least level seven.
Not only will it consume a huge amount of its own energy, it may also leave behind a large area of potholes and hills that do not obstruct the view but are very unsightly.
But now, I just open my mouth and issue an order, and even a civilian who can speak can do it.
But the people below will mobilize their forces without hesitation to completely flatten the mountain, and even completely level the land and plant silver-leaf roses on it.
Avis, tell me, did I use any force in issuing the order? "
Looking at Anvis who was lost in thought, Duke Carrot smiled.
“The essence of the aristocracy is to formulate rules that are beneficial to us, then take the lead in abiding by them, and let everyone else abide by them.
When everyone is following the rules you set that are beneficial to you, then you have mastered the power of rules in human society."
"You mean, the essence of the power of rules of a ninth-level professional is..."
Listening to the Duke's words, Anvis seemed to understand something.
"Yes, the essence of the power of rules is to abide by and utilize the rules that already exist in nature.
The process of an eighth-level professional breaking through to the ninth level is to find the rules that already exist in the world and are "most beneficial" to us through various means such as perception, travel, and combat, and then abide by them. "
“If we are the nobles in human society, then the ninth level is the nobles of this world!
But a ninth-level professional cannot create rules out of thin air, he can only use them. The deeper his understanding of the power of rules, the stronger his strength will be. "
Soon, the Duke extracted a ball of light from his memory and merged it with Avis so that Avis could directly check the process of his breakthrough.
“Thanks for your help.”
After listening to Duke Carrot's explanation of the information about the ninth level, Anvis chose to leave.
Obviously, it is better for the rule power to choose the one that it is best at and the one that is "most beneficial" to itself, rather than just choosing one at random.
For Anvis, the affinity of the power of desire was quite ordinary. If there was no other choice, he might take the path of desire to break through to the ninth level, but now, he still only used it as a tool against the Holy Light Church.
At the same time, Anvis has something else to do recently.
The task he had previously assigned to Bomia to attempt to construct a pseudo-eternal core had been successful and was currently waiting for him to inspect and accept it.
