Chapter 128 The Secret Society
"Baron Sean, I am here to invite you to join on behalf of the Arcane Society."
After a simple courtesy, Holkins directly explained the purpose of his visit to Greenfield Town.
"Arcana?"
When Sean heard this new term, he was a little confused. He really didn't know that there was such an organization.
"The Secret Order is a loose organization of wizards. Its purpose is to protect the inheritance of wizards and create a platform for wizards to exchange knowledge and exchange resources. Its original birthplace is the Kingdom of Mestor, which has a history of three hundred years. .”
Seeing Sean's confusion, Holkins opened his mouth to explain.
In the early days of the Black Iron Age, the demonic tide retreated further, knights dominated the world, and wizards completely lost their glory. Most of them chose to hide behind the scenes, leaving their inheritance in unknown corners or dying silently, while some others chose to Go to the far north and build a kingdom of wizards in the then uninhabited and permanently frozen land. This is the origin of Mestor.
Today, Mestor still stands in the far north, but due to the harsh climate, few people from other countries have been there. For many people, it is a legend, similar to most monarchs of the Old World. The countries are different. There is no king or nobility in Mestor. The highest power there is the Wizards' Council. Therefore, in addition to being called the Kingdom of Frost, Mestor is also known as the Kingdom of Wizards.
Although the harsh environment restricted the development of Mestor, it also allowed such a special country to continue smoothly when the knights took charge of the world. So far, although the national power of Mestor is not as good as those powerful kingdoms, it is by no means There is no doubt that this should be the country with the most complete inheritance and management of wizards in the world, and it would be somewhat special for the Secret Society to originate from such a place.
"Master Holkins, if I join the secret law, he doesn't know what I have to pay and what I can get?"
After a moment of silence, Sean asked, and upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Holkins' face. He knew that Sean was tempted.
"Baron Sean, the Secret Society is a loose organization. What you can get after joining it corresponds to what you pay."
After Holkins' explanation, Sean understood how the Secret Order operates. There is no clear upper and lower classes in the Secret Order. It is more like a simple platform through which everyone can post tasks and provide rewards. Others can access it and upload their own knowledge or research results for others to use for free or for a fee. In this process, in order to facilitate settlement of rewards, learning points are generally referred to as credits. Of course, in order to maintain the normal operation of the organization, members need to pay a certain membership fee to the Secret Society every year, which can be offset with knowledge and resources.
It can be said that from the perspective of an extraordinary organization, the Arcana Society is really very loose. The only restriction may be that when the interests of the Arcana Society are seriously threatened, members need to respond to the call of the operator of the Arcana Society and contribute a certain amount of strength. Of course, depending on the seriousness of the matter, The Sexual Mysteries will give corresponding rewards.
"Thank you for the invitation, Master Holkins. I would be happy to join the Arcanum."
Considering the nature of the arcana, Sean agreed to Holkins' invitation.
"Welcome to join us, Wizard Shaun."
Crossing his hands in front of his chest, Holkins performed an ancient wizard's salute to Sean. Holkins was very happy that Sean could agree. After all, absorbing suitable new blood has always been the top task of the Arcane Society. .
"This thing belongs to you now."
After Sean agreed to join the Arcanum, Holkins handed Sean a silver chain bracelet.
"This is a thorium bracelet. It is a special second-level rare item, a product of ancient wizards. Of course, now the Mystery Society has completed its analysis. As long as the resources are sufficient, it can be copied. You can use it to publish tasks. Browse knowledge and other operations.
"
Listening to Holkins' words, Sean became a little curious about the thorium bracelet in his hand. It was like a magical version of a network terminal, albeit a simple one.
After learning about it carefully, Sean gained a more specific understanding of the Thorium bracelet. This thing is similar to a network terminal, allowing people to communicate over long distances, but the user needs to continue to consume their own energy when using it. Spirituality is fine for a short period of time, but it is really too much for ordinary wizards over a long period of time. In addition, due to geographical factors and other factors, there will be a certain delay in operations such as publishing tasks or uploading knowledge. Of course, no matter what, In this day and age, this strange object has considerable advantages.
The mission was completed, and Holkins did not stay longer in Greenfield Town. His time was also very tight. Before leaving, he just told Sean that he could go to Lenz, the pioneer city of the Business Alliance in the New World, if he had time. There is a branch of the Arcana there.
The Thorium Bracelet is indeed more convenient to use, but its cost is not low and it has a threshold for use. If you want to use it flexibly, you need a second-level wizard. Therefore, for better communication between members, the secret method will be set up in many places. A branch was established, chaired by a wizard of the lowest second level to act as a communication bridge.
After Holkins left, Sean spiritually sank into the Thorium bracelet and browsed it carefully. He saw a lot of knowledge that was useful to him. Of course, he could only take a look at it because he had no credits. Of course, In addition to paid knowledge, there are also a lot of free ones, but here they are more bizarre, with all kinds of information available, such as "On the Eighteen Ways to Use White Mouse".
Time passed unknowingly, and Sean actually looked at these things all night. In the process, he found a bit of the feeling of surfing the Internet in his previous life. This is a kind of sentiment, but it is a pity that the Thorium bracelet The delay is too severe to allow instant communication between people.
After relaxing for a day, Sean took on some suitable tasks in the task module to earn points, such as answering questions. In addition, he also selectively uploaded some knowledge, but it still took a long time to convert this into points. A certain amount of time.
There are many kinds of tasks in the Secret Society, and the rewards include many other things besides the most common points. In fact, whether it is tasks or knowledge, after reaching a certain level, it is rarely measured purely by points. Take Sean. In terms of the knowledge in it, many of the browsing requirements are not points.
Of course, Sean is not in a hurry. At present, he only needs to accumulate a certain amount of points first. After all, the knowledge in the secret society is just a supplement for him. He is a person with a complete inheritance. This knowledge can be obtained Naturally, it’s good. It’s not a big problem if you can’t get it or it’s too troublesome.
