Chapter 282 Destiny and Influence
DeLand City.
This morning was particularly noisy, with patrolling sheriffs everywhere.
Gentlemen, ladies, workers, and laundry women walking by all cast curious glances and whispered about what had happened last night.
With such a loud noise, of course they heard some of it.
At this point, one can't help but speculate that perhaps the public security office has organized an operation to crack down on "gourmets".
Just looking at the results, it doesn't seem very satisfactory.
In front of the attacked Miller Manor, the old man of the 'Silver Swordsman' looked at the ruins with obvious anger on his face.
Next to him was the senior executive of the Special Section, Audis Genier, with a very grim look on his face.
Last night's action can be described as a complete failure.
Even though he teamed up with the Silver Swordsman, they were unable to capture the 'Lord of Gluttony' and the 'Necromancer', allowing the two to escape successfully.
In addition, the "Corrupted" took advantage of the Miller family's guardian's absence and raided Miller Manor!
Audis was silent for a long time before he spoke: "The bounty for the three [Silver of Order] including the 'Corrupted' will be increased to more than 100,000 gold per person... The Special Department will also carry out targeted actions against the 'Gourmet Association' within the country."
"The Miller family's affairs will resolve themselves."
The old man, the 'Silver Swordsman', whispered and slowly walked away.
…
At this time, Fang Xian had already met Yi Rui at the main entrance of the train station.
"These black dogs are simply crazy."
Yi Rui had been checked three times, and her face was full of anger: "I want to protest. Why are you checking me so strictly..."
"Because the headquarters of the Gourmet Association is said to be in the Narnias Empire, so... you know." Fang Xian shrugged his shoulders: "Also... the plan has changed . I will not go to the Narnias Empire in the near future. In other words, you are free!"
"What?" Yi Rui didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, she asked nervously, "Where are you going?"
"Maybe it's the New World..."
Fang Xian answered.
Most of the Miller family members who Dick mentioned as having acquired advanced knowledge were in the New World, and... that secret realm was also there.
Fang Xian actually felt that he was more suited to being an explorer of a new world.
After all, most secret realms have restrictions such as 'absolute magic'.
"But I owe you twice!" Yi Rui said seriously.
"You can continue to collect information about the inheritance of the 'Warlock Tower' for me. You don't need to get it. One confirmed piece of information is enough to compensate me."
Fang Xian smiled and said goodbye to Yi Rui: "It's best not to take the steam train. Today's inspection will be extremely strict... I plan to rent a carriage and go to the nearby city to transfer."
He waved his hand and blended into the crowd.
Yi Rui bit her lip, looked at Fang Xian's back, stamped her feet, looked at the several sheriffs who had already looked over, and also blended into the crowd and left quickly.
…
A carriage was speeding along the road.
Fang Xian took one last look at the city and lowered the curtains.
Although he was still subject to inspection when entering and leaving the city, it was aimed at zombies, so he had no need to be afraid.
After leaving the city, he couldn't help but close his eyes and silently recalled the information he got from Psychic Dick.
As an important member of a big family and a mysterious person, Dick knows much more than the average extraordinary person.
The most important of these is the description of the fourth and fifth steps.
'The fourth level, [Silver of Order], is a mysterious internal circulation system formed by domain or authority, which can resist the influence of the absolute demon to a certain extent. This is already quite terrifying.'
"And the [Golden King] is a truly powerful person! Promotion requires 'permission from fate'!"
'The so-called 'permission of fate' is more like a kind of 'destiny', or 'predestined destiny'... For example, if the 'Lord of Gluttony' wants to be promoted to the 'King of Ghouls', he needs to control a large group of ghouls and become the true king!'
"This... is a bit like the job change missions in the game. Each profession has different missions."
"Let's just call it a 'mission'... If the 'Gluttony Lord' wants to become the 'King of Ghouls', he needs to become the true king of a large group of ghouls. If he doesn't have enough ghouls, he needs to transform himself and gain the true loyalty of most of the ghouls. He needs to maintain this for a period of time before he can complete the pre-tasks for taking office..."
"This is actually quite easy. In Dick's memory, the gold-level 'Test of Fate' for some special professions is called a huge pit... For example, taming a golden dragon that has completely disappeared?"
'Various tests of fate... in the final analysis, it's all about the impact on the world and the feedback you get! The deeper and longer-lasting the impact, the more feedback you get, and the greater your chance of success in becoming a [Golden King]!'
"So... the essence of 'Fate's Permission' is to do something big, the bigger the better, so that the world will remember you deeply?"
"According to this line of thought, there is an explanation for those strong men in Dick's memory who successfully advanced to the fifth level despite having extremely difficult 'job missions'... They all had ways to bypass the harsh conditions!"
"If you want to do something big, have a profound impact on the world, and last for a long time, and it has to be simple and convenient... the best way is to spread faith!"
'Buildings may be destroyed, people may die, but only spirit and faith can last forever! '
"And... it's also relatively simple. As long as you're willing to put in the effort, you can also establish a subsidiary organization with yourself as the main body... So many fourth-tier [Silver of Order] will secretly establish some secret organizations as a backup for promotion?"
'No wonder I feel like this world is a little murky... According to this line of thought, there are probably a lot of mysterious organizations hiding in the dark... What I've seen is only a small part.'
"But...what about 'Dreamland'? If I can control it, I can directly influence tens of thousands of extraordinary people, and how many people will they indirectly influence? As long as I do something a little bit, the 'feedback' it brings will definitely be stronger than ordinary secret missionary work..."
Fang Xian felt like he had discovered a golden road.
Once you succeed, the road to becoming the [Golden King] will be extremely smooth.
At this moment, he had a thought and seemed to see the white jade pillar in the "Dreamland" before his eyes.
Under his own 'crow' mark, there was an important message.
It was from Mr. Pocket Watch, who said that there was a clue about the inheritance of the Warlock's Tower.
'That's a good thing!'
Fang Xian looked around and the carriage continued to move forward.
He casually set up a spell that would wake him up if disturbed, closed his eyes, and arrived at the 'dreamland'.
