Chapter 4 The vitality of a piece of driftwood (Part 1)()
For the next month, Yi Yun learned how to forge iron and make weapons from Baddeley during the day, and listened to Grandpa Pusius's lectures on various aspects of the Qiongwu Continent at night.
Compared to studying during the day, Yi Yun looked forward to Pusius's time at night. It was not because he was afraid of the various menial tasks of the blacksmith, but Pusius's lectures were much more interesting.
When Yi Yun was still in the Lanwell family, the only people he could talk to were his mother and a few children of the same age. In addition, due to his father's deliberate neglect, he did not receive a normal education, so
Yi Yun only knew that this world was the Qiongwu Continent and the country he was in was the Qiwu Empire. Other than that, he knew nothing else.
Only now did he know that in addition to the Qiwu Empire, there are two other major empires on the continent. Moreover, the history of the Qiongwu Continent is tens of thousands of years long. He was born in Qiongwu Calendar 10030, and it is now 10036.
Already.
Pusius said: "On the Qiongwu Continent, there are the Qiwu Empire, the Bethmon Empire and the Panyan Principality.
The total population of the mainland is nearly six billion, among which the Qiwu Empire has the largest population and the Panyan Principality has the smallest population."
Yi Yun thought for a moment and asked: "Our Qiwu Empire has the largest number of people, is that also the strongest?"
"In terms of military strength alone, our Qiwu is indeed the strongest country in the mainland, followed by Baymont and Panyan Principality is the weakest. But when it comes to overall national strength, it is not so simple to compare. It involves various factors
Religious power, topographic advantages of each country, diplomacy, etc. are all very complicated!" Pusius said, shaking his head.
Yi Yun also knew that there were three religions on the mainland at the same time, among which the God of Light believed in by the God of Light was the most powerful. In the Qiwu Empire, most people were also believers of the Light, and of course, so was Pusius.
, and very pious.
"Yi Yun, although we will all walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we are not afraid of suffering, because the God of light is with us, and God's rod and staff comfort us. The God of light is omnipotent and fair, and we
Everyone lives under the holy light of God." Pusius said softly.
"Really? Then why is my mother still dead? At least I have never seen the holy light shining on my mother!" Yi Yun disagreed in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
During the day, Yi Yun would hold a hammer in his hand and bang the iron on the stove again and again. Baddeley was very attentive to Yi Yun's teachings and would often rather slow down the progress of his work to teach Yi Yun well.
; And when night fell, he listened to Pusius tell wonderful and unrepetitive stories, which broadened his horizons. Yi Yun liked this kind of life very much.
Just like today, Pusius talked about the grading system of warriors and magicians on Qiongwu Continent.
"Both warriors and magicians are divided into four levels of nine stars based on their strength. There are different titles for each star level, namely: Warrior, Martial Disciple, Martial Madness, Martial Lord, Martial General, and Martial Lord."
Pusius said to Yi Yun.
"As far as warriors are concerned, one with three stars is called a warrior, four or five stars are called martial disciples, six or more stars are called martial madmen, seven stars are called martial lords, eight stars are called martial generals, and nine stars are called martial masters. Seven stars, eight stars are called martial masters.
Stars, nine-star warriors are all very powerful, especially nine-star warriors, it is difficult to find one among tens of millions of people."
"Each star level is divided into four levels, namely primary level, intermediate level, high level and peak level." Puxiuxiang explained in detail.
Yi Yun's eyes were filled with stars when he heard this. He had never heard of this before.
Pusius glanced at Yi Yun and continued: "Generally speaking, anyone who has achieved a five-star title or above can serve as a senior officer or above in the Imperial Army; those who have a six-star title can be directly named
Nobles; and as long as they reach seven stars or above, the empire will directly grant them a title, and in the army they will be generals commanding hundreds of thousands of troops."
General, title? As long as you ask for seven stars, you can get these? Yi Yun thought excitedly in his heart.
"So, the title of Seven Stars is due to this reason." Pusius said with a smile.
"You can get a title with seven or more stars? Grandpa, how many stars is my father a warrior? I often hear people call my father the Earl." Yi Yun suddenly remembered and asked immediately.
Pusius was stunned when he heard this, and then said disdainfully: "Your father? He is just a six-star junior martial madman, far from being a seven-star martial lord. He does not even meet the minimum threshold for a knighthood. If only
In terms of strength, not to mention the earl, even the viscount is not qualified."
"Then why did he..." Yi Yun heard the disdain in Pusius' tone, but he didn't have a good impression of his father, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Ah!" Pusius spat on the ground, and then continued with disdain: "The reason why he has the title of earl is all because of his father, your grandfather──Bernardon.
Lanville, he is a powerful eight-star general, and he is also the supreme commander of the Qiwu Empire's elite army, the Thunder Tiger Legion. And the title of earl can be passed down to descendants for three generations."
"Do I have a grandfather? Or an eight-star warrior?" Yi Yun asked in shock.
Yi Yun has been with the Lanwell family for six years, and he has never heard anyone say that he actually has a grandfather, and he is also a powerful eight-star general!
"It's not surprising that you haven't seen your grandfather. I heard that he led the Thunder Tiger Legion and was stationed at the junction of the Empire and the Baymont Empire. He couldn't go home for six years. That area was the most frequent war in the Empire.
One of the war zones.”
"Actually, Bernardon is indeed an outstanding person. Among the entire Lanwei family, he is the only one who can make me admire..."
Pusius sighed with a rare sigh and said: "It's a pity that the children under him are all people who can't be put on the stage. Their family's Crazy Thunder Art is still a first-class fighting qi technique, and those of his
None of his sons and daughters have mastered a skill. Bernardon spent a sky-high price of gold coins to collect various elixirs and magic cores, but he could only help your father reach the six-star preliminary level...,
Alas~~~, forget it, don’t mention this, he is still your father after all..."
Pusius obviously didn't want to talk anymore, but Yi Yun's heart was churning. He never knew that he had a grandfather, a general of a legion and a terrifying eight-star general?
Yi Yunping suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and asked again: "Grandpa, what I just talked about was about warriors. What about magicians? Are they the same as warriors?"
"The star titles of magicians are similar: one to three stars are called mage, four and five stars are called mage disciples, six and above stars are called mage madness, seven stars are called mage nobility, eight stars are mage generals, and nine stars are called mage masters.
.”
"But magicians are a little different. Although mages and warriors are similar in comparison at the same star level: in terms of attack power, magic is stronger, but in terms of defense and durability, warriors are much stronger than magicians.
.But those who are qualified to become magicians are only one in ten thousand, and the number is much smaller than that of warriors, so the status of magicians is also higher than that of warriors of the same level."
After Pusius finished speaking, he took another sip of wine.
What he is talking about now is common sense known to almost everyone in the Qiongwu Continent. Even young children can pronounce the star ranks in a catchy way. Yi Yun is completely ignorant.
