Chapter 443 Authority and the Shell People
Underground cave.
Katarina paused as she rode down on the sand leopard. The information that emerged in her mind made her look a little serious.
She looked at the battle flag in her hand and thought highly of it.
When she just fought with the Shellman Demigod, she could clearly realize that with her strength that was one step short of Demigod level, she had no way to break the opponent's defense.
But with the blessing of this battle flag, she could easily defeat him.
If she waited until she had the strength of Demigod level, and added this battle flag, it would be hard to imagine how high her strength could be.
Even she had to admit that the man and woman she met in Piltover that year did have talents that she could not reach, as Ryan said.
Even if she had Ryan's cultivation, reaching Demigod would be her end.
And those two people could mass-produce Demigod-level combatants for the Empire, and such talents were even more important to the Empire.
Katarina sighed in her heart, but her expression was still firm.
The words that Ryan once said came to her mind one by one.
"Everyone has their own talents, and there is no difference between high and low."
She once recognized and practiced this sentence, but recently she had a new understanding.
There is no difference between high and low talents, but some people are born to change the world, while others are born to promote this process.
Ryan, Victor, and Orianna all belong to the former.
She obviously can't do the former, but on the road of the latter, she will not lose to others.
"Haven't you detected it yet?"
Hearing Katarina's urging, Ezreal shook his head helplessly:
"We haven't reached the deepest point that the explorers have reached yet. We have cleared out all the Shellmen in this area. Even if there are any, they should be below."
Looking at Katarina's serious expression, he continued to add:
"Don't worry, General Kekao. It's impossible for all individuals in a tribe to have master-level strength. They must have many other individuals."
However, Katarina shook her head when she heard this:
"You know too little about the Shellmen."
In fact, she didn't know much about the Shellmen, but she could connect to the Empire Central Intelligence Database through the battle flag, and she had taken a look at the Shellmen intelligence before coming.
"Blitz, call up the information about the Shellmen for Ezreal."
Ezreal was a little surprised by Katarina's words, but then he found that the screen in his hand had changed.
"Received a command from authority 3, and has transmitted relevant information about the 'Shell People' for you."
Hearing this smooth voice, Ezreal couldn't help muttering:
"Blitzcrank's voice is much smoother, authority 3, so I should be higher than this, I am authority 4?"
"You can ask Blitzcrank to check the authority, your screen should be connected to its intelligence. Also, above authority 3 is authority 2 owned by the councilors." Katarina replied indifferently.
"Oh, then I am also authority 3, definitely!"
Ezreal looked at the screen in his hand, ignored the information that popped up on it, and said directly:
"Blitzcrank, I want to check the authority. By the way, I also want to see how my authority ranks in the Empire."
He didn't know if there was any behind, but if there was, he would like to see it.
As far as he knew, the members of the Trifarian Council added up to less than 20, so he could be ranked in the top 30.
"President Ezreal, I have checked for you. Your authority is level 4. As the president of the Explorers' Association, you are ranked 100+ in the Empire."
Hearing this voice, Ezreal's eyes were filled with disbelief, "How is it possible? I am the president of the Explorers' Association. How can I only have authority 4? And how can there be 100 people with higher status than me."
"No data will be displayed after 100. As far as I know, there are more than 100 people with authority 3 or above."
Katarina's leisurely words hit Ezreal again.
"There are so many powerful people in the Empire?" Ezreal asked in disbelief.
"High-level Black Rose, the commander and deputy commander of the Empire's four-party army, the commander and deputy commander of the East China Sea and South China Sea Fleet, the administrators of Demacia, Bilgewater, and Ionia, and the commanders of various elite war groups"
Katarina listed a large number of military and political positions, which were obviously above Ezreal, the nominal president, in terms of importance and status.
The current empire has a huge territory, and this assessment authority even includes all regions and even allies.
The current queen of Demacia, the pirate queen of Bilgewater, and her ambitious sister in Shurima are all connected to this system, and they are all owners of authority 3.
Of course, their authority is obviously restricted by non-locality, and their ability to exercise may not be as good as Ezreal's authority 4.
And within the same authority, there is obviously a difference between high and low in the style of the empire.
There is only one factor that distinguishes high and low.
Strength!
Whether it is administration, generals or nobles, they will be ranked high and low by strength.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Even, everyone can check the ranking of others with the same authority through Blitz.
Of course, this also means that information about Noxus's top leaders will be revealed at any time.
But Noxus has never had the habit of hiding itself. In the empire, strength is a symbol of status.
Only by showing higher strength, strength in all aspects, can one finally stand in a higher position.
"Well, it seems that I have to quickly expand the status of the Explorers' Association."
After asking how to increase the authority, Ezreal shook his head helplessly.
If he wants to increase his authority, there are only two ways he can go.
Either become a Trifarian councillor directly and achieve authority 2 in one fell swoop.
Or run the Explorers' Association better and raise his position as the president.
In comparison, the second one is obviously easier to achieve.
Although he feels that he is strong enough to become a Trifarian councillor.
Putting the authority behind him, he began to read the information about the 'Shell People' carefully.
This information is not small, and there are even many folded details.
But just looking at the first few lines of information displayed, Ezreal already understood why Katarina said that he knew less.
[Shell People (Zuan name) - Skarner (Shuriman name)]
[Shell People, with a purple scorpion appearance, are one meter tall in childhood. After obtaining the crystal, they will quickly pass the childhood, have the strength of a master, and their body size will increase by more than ten times. ]
[The existence of their entire race is to protect a truly ancient and perfect consciousness, which may be one of the oldest existences in Runeland. (From the Shurima ancient book "Scorpion of the Desert", written by Ner'zhul)]
[Each Shell People has a magic crystal (shell crystal, original crystal) in their body, which preserves the memory, hope and dream of this ancient consciousness, as well as everything that keeps it self. ]
[After the body dies, the core of the crystal will be buried by the same tribe. In the burial place, the crystal waits for young new Shell People to come and inherit themselves and the mantle of all predecessors. ]
[In the records of "Scorpion of the Desert", through the biological research of the Shell People, it is known that they call the most potential or strongest individuals in the tribe Skarner. Therefore, Shurima named its population "Skarner", which is also translated as "Desert Scorpion"]
