Chapter 29: What is a legend?
After learning from two tragic examples of Dora and Punk that blessings have quite negative energy, Gaia was surprised and turned her eyes to the Demon Twins:
"Then... Miramichi, how long have you been here? Do you feel that you are about to awaken your blessings?"
Shaking their heads, the Demon Twins answered with a smile:
"Not really!"
"Mila and Mickey,"
"There is no need for this,"
"Something with an unknown price."
"After all, we are abyss species."
“Everything is clearly marked with a price!”
As they spoke, the Demon Twins proudly puffed out their flat chests, causing Gaia to look away unbearably:
"That means that blessings are unique to creatures in this world... Ah, I'm sorry, can monsters also receive blessings?"
After hesitating for a moment, Dora thought hard and replied:
"It is true that ordinary monsters do not have any special abilities. They rely on their innate gifts of physical fitness. However, monsters that are wise in their age and can at least communicate seem to have some unique abilities, but after all
It’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or not, because everyone thinks it’s a unique gift given to the species of wisdom…”
"In other words, if you put aside your prejudices, you can at least know that blessing is a unique ability of intelligent creatures, right?"
Touching his chin, Gaia quickly made a judgment.
"Well, Mr. Gaia, it's okay if you think so. I don't know if other people, especially the stubborn scholars in the royal capital, agree with it or not."
Directly spreading her hands, Dora's words were full of disdain for the scholars of the royal capital.
Hearing this, Gaia muttered how these scholars had offended you, but it was hard to ask directly, so she steered the conversation in another direction:
"I don't need their approval. I don't need the approval of others in this world. More than this, I want to know more. You seem to have been talking about an existence called legend. What is it?"
Regarding Gaia's question, Penk and Dora first looked at each other, and then Dora, not Penk, explained:
"Let me, a person closer to a legend, explain this issue.
The so-called legend is not actually a classification of strength, but an adjective for the truly strong people in modern times."
There is no strength rating...
I thought there would be some level classification of low-level, mid-level, high-level, and then legend, demigod, and god.
Realizing that the world around her was indeed different, Gaia immediately gathered her thoughts and began to listen carefully to Dora's explanation.
"There is no doubt that legends are strong, but strong people are not necessarily legends. This is because if you want to truly enter the ranks of legends, ability awakening, magic content, and even blessing abilities are not the reference standards. The real
The reference standard——"
While speaking, Dora stretched out a hand and pointed to the endless mountains in the black forest outside the window:
"It is the ability to destroy a hill in one attack without any external force. Only such a strong person can be called a legend."
Oh, that's about the same power as the magic missiles of previous civilizations.
It's just that there were tens of thousands of magic missiles in previous civilizations, and there are probably far fewer legendary powerhouses in modern times. Otherwise, legends wouldn't be given such a rare title.
only……
Thinking of the weapons of previous civilizations, Gaia began to feel melancholy.
Do you want to introduce the technology of previous civilizations into the modern world?
Although they have been separated from each other, they have also developed their own unique technology tree. If the experience of their predecessors can be given to them, not only can they avoid many detours, but the time required for technological progress will also be greatly shortened.
but……
I think of the overwhelming magic bomb cleansing in the observer's replay, as well as the devastation after the war, the painful cries of children who lost their parents, and the desperate wails of parents who lost their children...
Gaia has never been able to decide whether to promote the faster growth of modern intelligent creatures.
"Mr. Gaia?"
What should I do? Although I am in this world now, judging from my initial experience, it is extremely difficult to control these wild horses.
"Mr. Gaia?!"
If you cannot control them, the consequences will only be more terrible than now. Not only will it be the demise of a civilization, but you will also be more likely to be involved in it, or it will cause even worse consequences...
"Mr. Gaia!"
A shout that was almost close to Gaia's ear made him come back to his senses immediately. Looking at Dora who was fuming next to him, an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his face:
"I'm sorry, I was mainly thinking about one thing. I was so obsessed that I couldn't hear your call, Miss Dora. My fault, my fault."
"Really, what are you thinking about, Mr. Gaia?"
Pouting her lips and sitting back down, Dora looked depressed:
"This is a beautiful girl standing next to you. What could be more attractive than a beautiful girl?"
After taking a look at Dora's scaly dragon-clawed hands and thinking about her true age, the demon twins suddenly let out a sneer.
"Ah, Miss Dora, I still have a problem here."
Quickly attracting Dora's attention to prevent her from fighting with the demon twins, Gaia asked with a smile:
"If blessings are good and bad, but can generally be regarded as gifts to intelligent creatures, then do those who cannot give blessings, or are not suitable for use, still have a chance to become legends?"
Gaia originally asked casually, but she never thought that Dora would nod readily:
"Yes, I have!"
"ah?"
This time, Gaia was stunned.
Seeing Gaia's expression, Dora immediately forgot her unhappiness with the demon twins and said with a smile:
"The Mother Goddess is fair and kind. Even if the blessing effect cannot be used in battle, there is still a precious existence of magic in the world.
Since the demise of civilization in the last era, scholars have begun to study ways other than blessing. After all, there is no guarantee that something like this that falls from the sky will disappear out of thin air one day, right?"
After talking so much, Dora suddenly felt a little thirsty. Just when she wanted to ask the beverage department to bring something to drink, Penke had already handed her a glass of silky-tasting beer.
After thanking Punk with a smile, Dora took a sip like a lady, licked the beer foam around her mouth with her forked tongue, and continued to explain to Gaia who was waiting patiently:
"So, over time, scholars finally developed a method that can rationally use magic elements according to different purposes - that is, spells.
According to the proficiency and number of spells mastered, from weak to strong, they can be divided into street performing magicians, magicians with a certain degree of attack power and functionality, and magicians comparable to legends."
