Chapter 658 The Essence of Rules

"Avis, you said you want 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 a college cloak and white gloves, and looked calm, his pale blue eyes slightly narrowed.

After the civil war in the empire really started, it was not only the warring Karlas Province and Canglong Territory that were affected, but also the entire empire's top leaders.

There is no treaty between the two sides that prohibits attacking the children of the other family. Except for safe areas like Pamir Academy that are guarded by ninth-level masters and maze locks, other places are in danger of being attacked.

And Avis did not 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 question something you want to ask yourself, or does anyone want to know?"

While asking this question, an invisible pressure emanated from behind Duke Carrot and filled the entire study.

The air seemed to have a little stagnation, making it difficult to breathe.

But what surprised the Duke was that under the pressure he suddenly exerted, Avis's calm posture 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 standard smile, 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 have at least the strength of the eighth level now, even if I am willing to tell you, you can't understand it at all."

Hearing Avis's answer, Carrot frowned even deeper, and touched the Hengjin cufflinks with his index finger, instinctively wanting to reject Avis's question.

However, just as the words came out, the Duke's fingers suddenly stopped, and a somewhat terrifying guess flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Wait... Avis, what level is your real strength now?"

Facing Duke Carrot's question, Avis smiled, and when he was about to answer, the Duke suddenly stopped him.

"No, wait, don't answer me... Some secrets, once told, are no longer secrets!"

After looking deeply at Avis, Duke Carrot leaned forward slightly, as if to judge whether the Avis standing in front of him was himself.

"I know you very well, Avis. 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 really helps you."

As he said, the Duke stood up and walked to the tall arched window, looking out the window at the majestic and steep snow-capped mountains and the lush 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 method 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 fighting method of the nobles? I think it is to buy more advanced equipment and strange items with a lot of money, and then rely on stronger equipment to kill the opponent."

Anvis immediately answered.

"You are right, but this is only a small part of it."

Carrot nodded slightly, without denying Anvis's answer.

"You need to understand another thing first, that is, what is the meaning of the word 'noble'?"

"Before becoming a noble, our status comes from strength.

But when we become nobles, our power comes more from status."

"So, Anvis, have you ever thought about how status brings us power?"

As he said, 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 in my study, but now there is a high mountain blocking my view.

If I am not a noble, then if I want the mountain to disappear from my sight, I must do it myself and use the power of a spellcaster of at least level seven.

Not only will it consume a lot of my own power, but it may also leave a large area of ​​potholes and hills that do not block the view but are very unsightly.

But now, I just open my mouth to issue an order, and even a civilian who can speak can do it.

But the people below will mobilize their power without hesitation to completely flatten the mountain, and even completely flatten the land and plant silver roses on it.

Anweisi, tell me, in the process of issuing the order, did I use my power?"

Looking at Anweisi who was lost in thought, Duke Carrot smiled.

"The essence of the aristocracy is to make rules that are beneficial to us, and then take the lead in abiding by them, and let everyone abide by them.

When everyone abides by the rules that you have made and are beneficial to you, then you have mastered the power of rules in human society."

"You mean, the essence of the power of rules for ninth-level professionals is..."

Listening to the Duke's words, Avis seemed to understand something in his heart.

"Yes, the essence of the power of rules is to abide by and use the rules that already exist in nature.

The process for eighth-level professionals to break through to ninth level is to find the rules that already exist in the world and are 'most beneficial' to us through various methods 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 ninth-level professionals cannot create rules out of thin air, they can only use them. The deeper the understanding of the power of rules, the stronger the strength. "

Soon, the Duke extracted a ball of light from his memory and fused it with Anvis so that Anvis could directly check the process of his breakthrough.

"thanks for your help."

After hearing Duke Carrot explain the information about the ninth level, Anvis chose to resign.

Obviously, it is better for the rule force to choose the one that it is best at and the one that is 'most beneficial' to itself, rather than choosing one randomly.

For Avis, the nature of the power of desire is quite ordinary. If there is no other choice, he may take the path of desire and break through to the ninth level, but now, he still only uses it as a tool against the Holy See of Holy Glory.

At the same time, Anvis has one more thing to do recently.

The mission he had previously assigned to Bomiya to try to construct a pseudo-eternal core has been successful and is currently waiting for his acceptance.
