116. Harvest
The White Tower, fourth level.
Orchi moved very quickly.
After fulfilling his promise, Sulu handed him a signed contract, and the two reached a deal.
At this point, Sulu's points skyrocketed, and he was directly promoted to the level of a member of the Three-Leaf, reaching the fourth level.
Compared to the first three floors, the space here is smaller, but every book on the shelves is a gem.
There are also some 'forbidden books' that would drive outside believers mad if they saw them!
For example, the book that Sulu is holding in his hand is titled "The Path of Church Professional and Some Speculations"!
"The radiance of the Seven Gods envelops the world: light, earth, sea, fire, war, storm, knowledge... These seven Church the True God all share the same path: [Acolyte], the professional path of believers!"
"Besides, the Church of the Goddess of Light's influence is mainly concentrated in the New Continent, and they also control the [Witch Hunter] route!"
"The worship of the God of War flourished in the Old Continent, and its representative profession was [Warrior]!"
"However, regardless of one's profession, it is extremely difficult to advance to the fifth rank... it's as if a chasm was carved out by the gods."
"The fifth rank... is the beginning of the legends, but according to my statistics, the probability of Legendary Professional appearing within the Church is much lower than that of extraordinary individuals outside... except for a very few specific 'popes' or ' Archbishop '..."
"Therefore, I speculate that those high and mighty gods do not wish for too many powerful beings to emerge among mortals, even though a sixth-order mythical being is nothing in their eyes..."
"And within the Church professions, there are many traps hidden... Leaving aside the [Witch Hunter] who must mark the soul twice, even the [Soldier] branch, the [Warrior] profession, will face the problem of ' Dragon Blood Baptism ' in the later stages!"
"In all professions within the Church, except for the path of [Acolyte], those at higher levels will encounter significant difficulties... This is proof that the gods do not want mortals to be too powerful!"
After reading it, Sulu flipped through the book and found that it was unsigned.
"On the fourth floor of the White Tower, information on the fifth and sixth tiers has already been made available to readers? And if such remarks are dared to spread outside, needless to say... they'll be sent straight to the Religious Inquisition!"
Sulu walked toward the bookshelf of career information.
As far as the eye can see, there are many professions from the first to the third level displayed in front of you, which is very complete. Although there is no information on the master level of the fourth level, it is enough to drive many people outside crazy!
He scanned it several times, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a book:
"<Shadow Warrior Advancement> requires 400 points to read and may not be taken out of the White Tower!"
The White Pagoda Spirit's hint immediately appeared.
"Fortunately, Orchi contributed, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to afford it."
Sulu pulled hard, and the points on the Three-Leaf Badge decreased drastically.
He picked up the book and eagerly began to read it.
[Ding! Third-tier job information detected - Shadow Warrior. Requires a second-tier prerequisite job: Rogue, Agility 4.0, Constitution 3.0!... Requirements not met! Unable to accept the job!]
After an unknown amount of time, a message appeared on the Attribute Panel.
This means you've been accepted into a profession. In the future, as long as you meet the requirements and spend experience points, you can instantly become employed.
"So much career information, it's a treasure trove... what a pity..."
Sulu returned the books, looking at the full bookshelf with great regret.
If I can view all of them, with the recording function in the Attribute Panel, it won't be long before I can master all this professional information!
He wandered around the fourth floor and picked out a few more 'original' books full of rich experience, but unfortunately, he didn't find any clues about the [Dream Master].
"This is... troublesome..."
Sulu looked toward the spiral stone staircase steps.
That's the entrance to the fifth floor of the White Tower, requiring Four-Leaf clover perk, which represents a terrifying 2700 points!
Even some mentors within the Inner Circle haven't met this requirement.
"But... I must go once, whether it's to find the [Dimensional Walker], the successor to [Shadow Warrior], or to find the [Dream Master]..."
As for obtaining it by invading other people's Mind World?
Sulu basically had no hope.
Those who have access to this master-level professional information are mostly professionals of level three or above, with strong mental instincts and defenses that he cannot break through in his current state.
Unless... we find a second-generation extraordinary being, but that also raises the issue of violating the contract and being discovered by the White Tower.
"It's best to avoid the kind of situation where you grab something and run until the very last minute... After all... I also have a contract with me, a surveillance contract from Arcane."
Arcane!
This was originally just a concept, equivalent to 'truth'!
But through the efforts of generations of [Arcanist], it has been sublimated into a mysterious existence.
It's too early to say it's personified, but it has indeed begun to materialize, possessing certain powers and the ability to witness vows, among other things!
Sulu even suspected that the Tower Spirit of the White Tower was related to this ' Arcane '.
Upon entering the Inner Circle, he signed a contract under the witness of Arcane.
Although the binding force is not very strong, the key is that once it is violated, the White Tower will immediately know about it!
Arcane cannot directly punish him, but an [Arcanist] can!
"Four-Leaf's permissions..."
Sulu pressed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Without a doubt, if one wants to take the orthodox path and enter the fourth level, it will be a very troublesome matter.
Reaching the level of Four-Leaf member definitely places one in the middle to upper echelons of Green Tree Castle.
This can be seen from their ability to access master-level professionals.
As for the Five-Leaf and Six-Leaf, to put it bluntly, they already have the qualifications to compete for a place in the Green Tree Council!
For example, apart from the Speaker, the Attending Councilor, who holds the highest authority of the Seven-Leaf, is mostly at this level.
"In other words... the Inner Circle members of Four-Leaf are second only to those councilors... the difficulty of promotion has increased significantly."
However, the allure of the Planeswalker made it impossible for him to give up the Dimensional Walker!
"It seems... I'll have to stay in Green Tree Castle Keep for a long time before slowly releasing my research findings and upgrading my original privileges?"
Sulu thought calmly.
He had a general understanding of the strength of the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle.
The highest level, of course, is the top nine seats in the Green Tree Council. Among these holders of authority at the Five-Leaf or above, there are definitely legendary-level professionals!
The others must be extremely powerful fourth-tier professionals, such as [Grand Arcanist]!
Not to mention the defenses of the Inner Circle Mist Lock and the support of the Federation!
The thought of fighting such a behemoth is disheartening.
Therefore, it's best to just exchange it honestly.
Sulu sighed, feeling the passage of time, put down his book, and walked out of the White Tower.
The [XP:350] message on the Attribute Panel indicates the success of this project.
