Chapter 3652 Shortcut
In a more hierarchical world, it is more difficult for the poor, commoners, nobles, and royals to advance in status.
If nothing else happens, if there is no chance in life, basically the same will be the same as one's birth.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that my acquaintance with Master Dewey was an adventure.
And becoming the adopted son of Master Dewey is even more unbelievable.
But that doesn't mean that one's birth will definitely determine one's life.
Although Zephyr Continent does not have the college entrance examination of Blue Planet, it does have the common and special profession of adventurer.
Becoming an adventurer, becoming a stronger adventurer, and then establishing a foothold on the Zephyr Continent is the most direct way for people to advance to a higher status.
Unlike the college entrance examination where you can falsify or even cheat, there is no possibility of cheating in the adventurer profession.
In other words, even if some rookie adventurers with special identities can be promoted to captains or even higher positions through the dark curtain, once an emergency occurs, not only will their true colors be exposed, but they will not even be able to save their lives.
After becoming an adventurer, you have to consider joining a guild. Once you join a guild, especially a large guild, your status will be completely different.
Even if they were poor people or even slaves before, as long as they become adventurers of a large guild, they will become adventurers with high status. Some civilians and slaves will not only respectfully call them "adventurers" after meeting them, but You also need to show a sufficiently respectful attitude.
However, the vast majority of adventurers who join large guilds will disdain this meaningless sense of vanity because of the changes in their environment.
What they pursue is stronger and higher status.
It is true that pursuing stronger strength and higher status is the right path for adventurers, and it is a road that no one can criticize.
However, in addition to this, there are also some shortcuts that may take risks but can indeed achieve a higher status.
One is to seek wealth and status. As long as you can get in touch with a person of high status, you can rely on the other person's identity and status to obtain the identity and status you desire in a very short period of time.
But on the contrary, this shortcut also has disadvantages, that is, you will owe the other person a favor. If the other person is stupid and sweet, it is easy to be controlled easily, but if the other person is scheming, then you can only ask for more blessings. .
In a good ending, you might just become a tool for the other party; in a bad ending, you don't even know when you will get your lunch.
Compared with the first shortcut, the second shortcut is much better, but it is relatively difficult and the probability is low, that is, offering treasures.
Just like this fight for the enchanted weapon, there must be adventurers who want to take it away and offer it as a treasure to Simmons Locke in exchange for status.
It is precisely because the opportunity is rare and there is no need to worry about any subsequent troubles that some capable adventurers will rush to compete for this shortcut opportunity.
For adventurers, this is a rare opportunity where risks and opportunities coexist, but for York Hancheng, it is not a good thing - it may not matter in the short term, but in the long term it will lower York Hancheng's strength.
Think about it, a group of adventurers who were supposed to be the mainstay participated in a dangerous war for this shortcut. Losing the war may be a small matter, but once they lose their lives, the country will be directly affected.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this relationship that Simmons Locke forcibly lowers the value of enchanted weapons. Even so, adventurers are still eager for the opportunity to take this shortcut.
On the day I set out, I heard from the human adventurer leader that the person who finally obtained the enchanted weapon was the most inconspicuous guy in a large guild. This guy was pretty good, but he had the least sense of presence. When the companion who obtained the enchanted weapon was careless, he took action and killed him with one blow.
After getting the enchanted weapon, this guy did not make any announcement, but directly quit the guild, and came to the palace overnight to present the treasure to Simmons Locke.
Although his backstabbing of his companion was despicable, Simmons Locke still kept his promise and granted the other party the status of the lord of a small city.
That small town is close to a public area. Although it will not be affected by the national war, it is likely to become one of the first choice towns for disaster invasion.
It can be said that this is both a reward and a punishment from Simmons Locke.
Taking the airship, we quickly arrived at the location of the next mausoleum.
According to the coordinates, find the approximate location. Next, it depends on the operations of human adventurers and experts.
As before, the experts successfully found the location of the tomb and opened the stone door using the old method.
The stone door of this mausoleum also did not contain enchanting materials and was easily destroyed.
After the air was released, it was still the team of human adventurers and experts that went first.
This time, Hathaway did not move with the team, but stayed in place.
"Every time I visited the tomb in the past, you took the lead. Why didn't you follow the team this time?" I asked Hathaway with a smile, leaning against the wall of the entrance.
"I just suddenly felt that the history of the Peruvian Empire was not as brilliant and prosperous as recorded in historical documents."
"This is normal," I said, "Historical documents always exaggerate the good side."
"I know this." Hathaway scratched her hair in distress and said, "But I just can't accept it. Why can't historians be upright and record things impartially?"
"Yes," I said, "Who said no?"
"Really?" Hathaway's eyes widened in anticipation and disbelief.
"Of course," I said, "the historians of the two major races in ancient times enforced the law impartially and would never write history indiscriminately."
Hathaway's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"What I said is true!" I said seriously.
"I know," Hathaway said disappointedly: "The historical documents of the two major races in ancient times are all written from the most objective perspective. However, the historical documents of the two major races in ancient times have never been observed from the most detailed perspective. Better than any other country at the same time!"
"After all, they are existences like gods. Looking at the world from an objective and macroscopic perspective can highlight their extraordinary qualities, right?"
Hathaway's head was a bit big, and she pinched the bridge of her nose. She said helplessly: "We historians study and discuss every fragment and every detail in history. Even if you give me the most objective and macroscopic view of the world, Historical documents, apart from correcting some historical deviations, have no meaning anymore!"
"Well, that seems to be the truth." I scratched my head and chuckled: "I have no research on archeology. The above words are all ignorant nonsense. I hope you can forgive me."
Hathaway looked at me a little surprised, as if she couldn't believe that a high-status person like me would apologize to a low-status noble like her.
