Chapter 785 The Transcendent

Chapter 785 The Transcendent

Lu Chen observed the old man in front of him. Archbishop Guerra was obviously an extraordinary person.

He is not a night watchman, but he can be a provincial archbishop, and of course he has a certain degree of strength.

But in fact, Archbishop Guerra's attributes were not as good as Father Anderson, who was serving tea and water for the two of them. His main attributes were only about 140 points.

"Archbishop, have you ever served in the Night's Watch?"

Lu Chen asked.

Archbishop Guerra was not surprised that Lu Chen asked this question. They are all people who have mastered strange powers and have a certain sense of the abnormal powers in others. Maybe ordinary people can't see it, but as a transcendent, Lu Chen will definitely be able to feel it. The power within oneself.

Archbishop Guerra shook his head, "This aspect is a little different from what you think. The way I obtain this power is the same as the Night Watch, but I have never served in the Night Watch. If we fight, Father Anderson can beat me a lot." indivual."

The old man gave a humorous example. Anderson stood behind him like a sculpture, his expression unchanged.

"Kid, you may not understand, but this world is not just about whether you can fight or produce weird abilities. Management, deployment, and decision-making are more important in a broad sense."

As he said that, Archbishop Guerra smiled and said, "Our people always prefer elders who look kind, not murderous night watchmen."

"After all, people only want to see what they want to see, what they crave light."

Lu Chen nodded. The old man in front of him spoke very straightforwardly and made sense.

To put it simply, clergy in high-level positions always need to bear the image of the church when facing the public.

"This is just one aspect, in addition..."

Archbishop Guerra paused and smiled: "...I have the hereditary title of Marquis."

Lu Chen laughed dumbly. In the final analysis, this may be the most important thing.

Archbishop Guerra took a sip of tea and continued: "After briefly introducing the classification of night watchmen, let's talk about what a transcendent is."

Lu Chen listened attentively. It must be said that the Archbishop Guerra in front of him was very charming, good at communication, and gave people a sense of comfort.

In the eyes of Wu Daotian, Archbishop Guerra's charm value is as high as 153 points, breaking through the level of a sixth-level explorer. This is also his highest attribute, although it is of little use in combat.

In fact, in the eyes of Archbishop Guerra, Lu Chen looked very vicious. When he first saw him, he thought he was a madman who had been completely corrupted by the ancient god's will, but he could communicate normally.

He was confused. From the information, this child was an ordinary boy ten years ago. How did his temperament change to this?

But he didn't ask questions. He only blamed it on the divine disaster that changed the other person. After becoming a transcendent, his personality would change more or less.

"I mentioned the classification of night watchmen just now. Correspondingly, the degree of danger of weird, mysterious and other events or items can also be applied to this level. Regarding transcendents, they are only those who have extraordinary talents hidden in them."

Archbishop Guerra said, "You must know that not everyone can become a night watchman. Usually among those students who have graduated from the seminary, after they enter the church, we will conduct a more basic and obscure screening, from which Retrieve those children who have special needs and create special courses for them.”

"Under a systematic education method, we bring them into initial contact with the world in the dark, allowing them to learn the corresponding knowledge. After going through multiple screenings, they are finally promoted to candidates for the night watch."

"At this stage, candidates have to undergo three years of spiritual training to sharpen their minds. If they cannot endure it, they will sign a confidentiality agreement and return to their original job. If they perform well, they can become a normal priest. Those who insist on completing the training can contact the origins hunted by the Night Watchmen, accommodate them, and finally, under the supervision of the church, become an official Night Watcher after stabilization."

Archbishop Guerra was introducing the birth process of the Night Watchmen at this time, which seemed to have strayed away from the topic of Transcendents, but Lu Chen did not interrupt. He knew that people like Archbishop Guerra would not talk nonsense, and besides, he did have a deep understanding of the Night Watchmen. Interested in the specific birth process.

Archbishop Guerra continued: "I say this to tell you that the selection of Night Watchmen is harsh, but even with such careful selection, most of the Night Watchmen do not have real 'talent'."

He pointed at himself, then raised his hand and pointed at Father Anderson, "After we become extraordinary beings, we are very cautious in every step of improvement, because we are not gifted people, and our ability to withstand the will of the ancient gods is limited, but some people are different."

He looked at Lu Chen, "For example, Mr. Lu, you are different."

"About the gift of endurance?"

Lu Chen asked rhetorically.

Archbishop Guerra nodded, "It can be roughly understood this way, but so far we can't explain how to define that kind of talent. We only know that people with talent, even if they have not received any systematic training, are suddenly exposed to those There is a high chance that the mysterious events will survive and will not be destroyed by the will of the ancient gods.”

He took out a document, "This is a sacred disaster event that happened on the outskirts of Ocalan ten years ago. The original was burned, but I made a rubbing."

Lu Chen picked up the document, glanced through it, and frowned.

"What a surprise? This document didn't say anything about the inside story, and it didn't even indicate the source of the disaster. When I saw this document, I was also very surprised, because I clearly remember that this was an event that had a great impact. How could such an important record contain only a few words and no 'truth'?"

Archbishop Guerra's eyes were dull and he continued: "What exactly happened that year? Because I was not serving in the Diocese of Noah Province at the time, I don't know very well, but one thing that is certain is that it was definitely caused by something above the high-risk level. , among the people involved, a total of 128,643 people died."

"Isn't there more than 30,000 people?"

This is inconsistent with what Lu Chen learned in his memory.

Archbishop Guerra shook his head, "You should understand that the number that is known to the public will always be less."

He continued: "If a special night watchman had not passed through Ocalan City at that time, the scale of the disaster would have been much greater, and within the scope of the disaster's spread, theoretically no one would have survived, but when he arrived, you are still alive."

"How did the others die?"

Lu Chen asked. The official statement was that it was a fire. There was indeed a fire at that time, but you must know that it was a suburb. It was impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to be burned to death in the wilderness with nowhere to escape.

"I have no idea."

Archbishop Guerra said, "Don't look at me like that, there may be more complexity behind this matter than you think."

He personally picked up the teapot and helped Lu Chen pour new tea. "The only thing we learned, and only learned a few days ago, is that there were survivors in that disaster, and that is you, Mr. Lu."

The old man held a white porcelain teacup in his hand, and the light of the candle reflected in the black tea, also showing his old face. "So I judge that Mr. Lu may be a transcendent. You have talent."

"possible?"

Lu Chen noticed the keyword.

"Yes, we have no way to detect that kind of person's natural invisibility talent. It is impossible to introduce a large number of civilians into disasters for the purpose of screening. Moreover, Mr. Lu, your ability to survive only proves that you have a special talent, and It may not necessarily be a transcendent.”

Archbishop Guerra paused, "... Transcendents refer to talented people who survived being exposed to dangerous events far beyond ordinary people's understanding and were contaminated by ancient gods. After a long struggle, they finally mastered themselves. The conscious man is transcendent, for he transcends himself and transcends death.”

"As far as I know, after the transcendent successfully regains himself, he will have at least a dangerous level of power, and because he has transcended himself, he has developed a tough mind that is beyond ordinary people's understanding, and he can later absorb weird or When it comes to the origin of mysterious things, its adaptability is far beyond that of ordinary night watchmen, and it has a higher upper limit."

Archbishop Guerra said, giving an example: "Currently in the Sistine Empire, there are a total of seventy-three transcendents that I can know about, and forty-one of them are currently high-risk night watchmen. Among these people, Most of them have awakened in the past twenty years, and as for the other thirty-two, they are currently special-level."

Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at the silent Father Anderson, "Then what level is this Father Anderson based on the hierarchy of the night watchman?"

Archbishop Guerra smiled, but Anderson remained silent and said nothing.

"Anderson is an outstanding member of the high-risk category. In ten years, he should be promoted to a special category."

Archbishop Guerra said slowly.

Ten more years? But Father Anderson is now over fifty. People in this world don't live long. Even these extraordinary people's lifespans are no different from ordinary people. Even because of the torture of the ancient god's will, they often live longer than ordinary people. Ordinary people from wealthy families live shorter lives.

But based on Father Anderson's strength, Lu Chen probably judged that the special level should belong to the seventh-level explorer level.

Based on the upper difficulty limit of the world and the number of special-level night watchmen, and roughly estimating their strength range, Lu Chen felt that they should not exceed him.

As for the divine envoy level, he might be stronger than himself, but Lu Chen couldn't tell without having fought against him.

The Church of Morning Embrace in the Sistine Empire only has two divine envoy-level powerhouses in total, and the possibility that he currently wants to see them is very low.

"I'm a little off topic, please allow me to continue."

Archbishop Guerra returned to the topic, "As I just said, Transcendents have extremely strong potential. If you are willing, you can receive training within the church and absorb new powers, and you will soon be promoted to a high-risk level. Correspondingly, The church will also give you the treatment you deserve."

Obviously, after Lu Chen restrained his aura, it would be difficult for creatures below his level to judge how strong he was.

Archbishop Guerra is currently just judging based on common sense that Lu Chen should be a dangerous level extraordinary person.

Because he didn't know the details of ten years ago, he only heard that the special-level... was actually Red Archbishop Kural, who easily solved the commotion, so what appeared at that time should not be up to the special-level level.

The initial strength of the transcendent after awakening is related to the source of pollution, so Archbishop Guerra believes that Lu Chen is definitely not at the high-risk level.

"Salary? How high is it specifically?"

Lu Chen grinned and said, "Please tell me about the treatment of night watchmen at each stage."

Archbishop Guerra had obviously received some information before, and knew that Lu Chen had proposed a "salary increase" and the difficult living conditions of the siblings in the past few years. He did not judge this very tacky statement.

Archbishop Guerra has met countless people and knows how to communicate with what kind of people. It is difficult to convince Lu Chen by fooling believers about mysterious matters. Lu Chen's reality is a good thing for him, and money is good for Chenyong Church. It is the most indispensable.

"The security-level night watchman, the person who picks you up, should have said that he is the same as an official priest, while the dangerous level, in addition to still being allocated housing, has a weekly subsidy of forty pounds. If you agree to join the night watchman, I can make the decision to distribute subsidies to you according to this level."

Archbishop Guerra smiled and said that even in the royal capital, few staff could get a weekly salary of forty pounds.

Lu Chen roughly calculated the purchasing power, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of 320,000, which is really high. It can be seen that although the night watchman is a high-risk profession, as the strength level increases, the salary is also very consistent.

On his way here, he had already received settlement allowance from the church, which was considered a sign of sincerity from the Morning Support Church.

This money was recognized as regular income by Origin Space, and Lu Chen also used this to check the purchasing power of the exchange certification.

He experimented with Bleus's fish. After he had currency that could be used for certification, the certification price appeared under the prop, which was priced in currency.

The certified price of a Feiko bass with an epic full score was one thousand pounds. When Lu Chen saw the certified price, he felt a little awkward. This fish could only be sold for eight shillings and sixpence in the market.

Based on this estimate, a fully rated sacred item should cost over three thousand pounds, and a mythical item should cost around ten thousand pounds.

As for the fairy-level props, Lu Chen couldn't judge, but the items he liked were conservatively estimated to be above the 30,000 list. Thinking about it, he felt that the salary was not that much.

Based on the monthly salary of a dangerous-level night watchman, it would take more than ten years of work to obtain a piece of fairy-level equipment.

And these are just preliminary inferences. They are simple conclusions that Lu Chen drew based on the items of various grades in the space. In fact, it is impossible to determine how much formal currency it takes to authenticate high-quality equipment and props.

"What about the high-risk night watchmen?"

Lu Chen asked about the follow-up treatment.

Archbishop Guerra took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The weekly subsidy for high-risk night watchmen is one hundred and twenty pounds, and they are awarded the title of baron. They can choose a mansion in any area of ​​the Sistine Empire, and the ownership of the mansion is permanent. Belong to your family."
