Understanding the Version Three Years Ahead
Hearing Barton's words, Iver raised his eyebrows with interest.
"...Path of Transcendence? Do you know what you are talking about?"
The true identity of the "knight" should be a reserve soldier of the Light Cavalry brigade. May be a student of Avalon Military Academy University.
He was born into an orthodox knight family, and at least one of his immediate elders in the family was armor-bearing. He also said that he might be promoted to Sky Knight... In other words, he had just embarked on the path to transcendence and had not yet completed his first promotion. The griffons given to him were pure-blood griffins without discounts.
In other words, his family background is at the top end of the Avalon Kingdom.
Even if he chooses not to become a transcendent, he can still live his life comfortably.
But such a person... now tells Iver that he wants to become Path of Transcendence? Iver was moved in his heart and asked, "Do you know something?"
"I'm serious."
Mr. "Knight" said extremely seriously, "It's not an impulse, nor a rebellious idea... I just learned some forbidden history with mysterious power... Then I was thinking, are we going the wrong way? Path of Authority is supposed to fit in with Path of Transcendence?" If the essence of Path of Authority is similar to power, then the core of authority is actually power. Power is from top to bottom, but power will also change, just like the positions of ministers will also go up and down. How can people who have no upward desire take their work seriously? "——I think the combination of top-down orders and bottom-up promotions is 'power'."
... interesting.
Iver raised his eyebrows.
The knight was really right, he was just a little too ahead of his time.
Avalon destroyed the country in the last small version of the first big version [Glass Staircase].
In Version 2.0, the player group solved the troubles of Theocracy and received the friendship and help of Pope and Saintess; Version 3.0 star turned to death and began an unstoppable split; Isabel also grew up after defeating Fallen Angel and gained lofty civilian prestige. With the help of the newly born Theocracy, a team was organized to recapture Avalon.
After defeating the bandits, traitors, and rebellious ministers of the old kingdom, as well as someone who was once a puppet of Star Antimony but was now independent, and summoned Shadow Angel, Isabel defeated Iris's conspiracy, took back the land of Avalon, and completed the restoration of the country.
At that time, a fire burned out the decayed things, and the reborn "Avalon" was renamed Kingdom of Flowers Camelot.
Iver still remembers the CG after killing the final BOSS Shadow Angel in version 3.4. It was one of the few CGs he didn't skip - of course because he felt numb after the fight and was so tired that he lay down to take a breath.
The shadow controlled by Shadow Angel was corroded, and on the Death Qi heavy land, buds grew again, dead trees regained their vitality, and flowers bloomed on the earth again. Half-Elf Isabel, who is wearing a flowery crown, still looks immature. She wears a white robe, a crown, and holds a royal staff, just like her Grandmother Queen Sophia. She delivers a speech in a city full of life, standing on a wooden platform wrapped with vines.
As the founder of the Camelot kingdom, Queen Isabel chose to voluntarily give up part of the royal power and transferred power to the cabinet and parliament. Convert Camelot to a constitutional monarchy.
This will lead to a complete change in the entire power system - the knight family will no longer be passed down by blood and be superior, and the knight will no longer become a de facto armored noble. This also means that since the establishment of Avalon, the mainstream authoritarian system that has been stable for more than 400 years and centered on "law" and "royal power" has been broken down, and the ban and resistance to other paths have also been eliminated.
It was not until then that the extraordinary beings of Path of Authority realized... It turns out that Path of Authority and Path of Transcendence actually do not conflict at all.
Even Silver Crowned Dragon itself has the characteristics of Path of Transcendence; like Weizhe of Path of Wisdom and Twin Mirrors of Path of Beauty, they also have some of the characteristics of Equilibrium Path.
Since the aloof Nine Pillar Gods is not a pure incarnation of the path, he also has his own will and tendency. Mortals are naturally even more so.
Everyone's experience, personality, and talents are different, and few people are "apostles of destiny" who are purely walking on a certain path. There is a great potential for any two paths to be combined, and examples of three paths being combined are rare but do exist.
——In the final analysis, seeking change, progress, and transcendence, and emphasizing the authority to control will, power, and lead others can actually be understood as two aspects of "power."
Its essence and core are still authoritarian, and it still has an element of dedication. Only after making up for a little bit of transcendence, the system finally came to life and was able to operate normally instead of aging and decaying.
Authority, dedication, and transcendence go hand in hand to finally reach the three apexes of the Avalon triangle. And Path of Beauty of Isabel is just outside the apex of this triangle and does not interfere with any party... Like the royal family who has withdrawn from the core power, it has become the emerald green gem in the center of the silver Avalon triangle.
This is probably why Silver Crowned Dragon ignored the demise of Avalon.
For him, Avalon is probably no longer the Knight's Country he originally wanted to build. This fire burned into Silver Crowned Dragon's heart.
Therefore, Barton's understanding is completely correct. Three years later, this is new common sense that everyone knows and recognizes.
But because his understanding is too advanced, surpassing the two major versions... If his words are released now, they will only be called crazy and heresy.
Moreover, his concept actually has no basis in practice.
Now in Path of Transcendence, new professions such as Great Sin Scholar and Moulting Warlock that are perfectly compatible with the revised Path of Authority have not yet been born. The most mainstream profession of Path of Transcendence is still Demon Scholar and its advanced Demon Avatar.
Even if you include Majin and Ritual Mage, there aren't many good things in total. Even if Iver himself is the transcendent of Path of Transcendence, he has to admit that Path of Transcendence is a real evil person.
Knight, who has an upright personality but is not very smart, if he comes into contact with Path of Transcendence at this time, I am afraid that he will be devoured and exploited to death by those people.
But the fact that the Cavaliers can think of this shows that he is indeed a talent - he will appear here now, and he somewhat wants to compete for Holy Lance. Even though he knew that he was absolutely unable to fight against Aleister, he did not want to sit still and wait for death; and after encountering Aleister, he did not beg for mercy or tremble, but just wanted to ask another question.
This tenacious spirit of being unyielding and daring to challenge the strong is exactly in line with the promotion needs of the profession "Moulting Warlock" in Path of Transcendence. It also happens to be a perfect part-time job with Path of Authority's melee profession.
But getting a job in this profession is very troublesome. Nowadays, Tiansi, who controls the transformation, has not been pulled down by Ouroboros Ring Ritual. It is too difficult for humans to shed their skin.
... Should I give him a chance?
Iver After thinking carefully, he decided to save him instead of destroying him.
He said seriously, "Actually, when you asked this question, you already had half a foot on Path of Transcendence.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Humans are Serpent Father and Child of Constant Self, a race born with the adaptability of Path of Transcendence and Path of Love. Everyone is greedy, wants better, and is always full of desire. This is the essence of human progress."
This is what Shadow Demon just said to him, Iver is now learning and selling.
"But the real question is, have you awakened and embarked on this path? Have you already thought about the career you want to work for, or is it 'anything will do as long as it's Path of Transcendence'? Or are you simply beginning to doubt Path of Authority, but have not thought about the way you want to go next? "Have you ever thought about what will happen to the extraordinary person Path of Transcendence? Have you ever thought about your family, your clan? Have you ever thought about the conspiracy launched by those who are also Transcender against you, their use of you, and their persecution of your family?"
Iver seriously advised, "If not, my suggestion is - you can keep this idea, but don't advance to Path of Transcendence for the time being.
"At least not for a few years. After you are truly on the right track in your career, if you still have such thoughts, it is not too late to change your mind.
"There are very few extraordinary beings who are compatible with three paths. For most extraordinary beings, two paths are the limit. And you are still very young now. Now you want to turn to transcendence. Maybe in the future you will want to turn to devotion. Later, you may adapt to it. When you get older, you will want to turn to dusk... If you can leave some room for your future self, it is better not to embark on the two paths as soon as possible."
Anyway, it will be soon, Iver thought. In another two years, when Butterfly Angel is ripped off, you can transfer it to "Moulting Warlock".
Now you First Path haven't reached Second Level yet, why are you so anxious about the second path? It's like when you're playing an online game, and you start thinking about adding equipment after you reach the level before the novice village is even out - we'll talk about that later.
