Chapter 382: Chapter 267 Fire Hall_3

Chucher’s face, filled with flesh, showed a look of longing.

"You know how stifled we feel just struggling to survive? Do you know how many things we have done against conscience and belief for the sake of survival? It is hard to compare the importance of survival and dignity, but without a doubt, every ambitious human being wants to live with dignity on this land, wants to walk proudly in the sunlight, just like in the countless years of the Fire Epoch."

"And you, a novice who has just stepped into the ranks of the Fire Holders, have done just that, such swift and fierce progress is the dream that we have harbored for so many years. Just by witnessing your deeds, our spirits are uplifted. When we battle in the boundless darkness, reading of your exploits becomes our spiritual sustenance."

He patted Rod’s shoulder vigorously.

"If I were thirty years younger, I really would like to join you in your fight."

Rod’s eyes lit up as he said eagerly, "It’s not too late, Chucher, teacher."

Chucher shook his head with a smile, "Young Rod, you don’t understand what the real Royal City is like, you haven’t entered the domain of High Rank Combatants, you are not strong yet, you cannot touch the true dark and cruel world, and your territory cannot possibly have a Guardian."

Rod scratched his head and tentatively said, "I have money..."

Chucher laughed, "It’s not about money. Besides, your territory is rather special, needing to pay a weekly salary. And the weekly salary for a Guardian... well, referencing it should be more than a million, right?"

Rod’s eyes nearly popped out, "A million?"

Chucher laughed, "It’s just an estimate. At our stage, money is no longer important. The Royal City wouldn’t give us so much money. What’s important is resources."

Rod asked curiously, "Our stage?"

Chucher nodded slightly.

"Yes, our stage."

"You know, 9-7 level Combatants are Low Rank, 6-4 level Combatants are Mid Rank, also known as aspiring High Rank Combatants, and 3-1 level Combatants are High Rank."

"When you reach High Rank as a Combatant, your soul has become very strong. At this time, growth is almost like a transformation."

"Among them, level 2 Combatants are referred to as Transhumans, meaning they have left the human constraints and have become Transhuman powerhouses."

"Level 1 Combatants are called Transcendents, meaning you have surpassed ordinary mortals and stepped onto the threshold of gods."

"Special Level Combatants are referred to as Commanders, lifting their own characteristics to the utmost, completing quantification, merg their souls with the laws, controlling the power of laws with human’s will, which is obtaining..."

Rod and Chucher said in unison.

"Source."

Chucher said approvingly, "It seems you know quite a bit."

Rod smiled. Both the King and the Book of Knowledge had shared this information with him, or else he would never have fathomed such profound fundamental concepts.

Chucher continued, "The power controlled by Combatants above Transhumans is extremely mighty, our souls must undergo many dangerous mutations to control it, and to maintain such a state, we consume many special materials and potions. Behind every High Rank Combatant is a complete production process, requiring Alchemist Masters, Production Masters, the Mechanical Research Institute, the Jinwoosi Society, the Mansys Factory, Byron Alchemy Pharmaceutical Workshop, and the existence of the Holy Church."

"Only a powerful Royal City can support so many High Rank Combatants."

"Despite some decay, despite being sometimes unfair, despite some maggot-like creatures mixed within, I still hope a complete and strong Royal City exists."

"Because only then can we battle the darkness better, and protect more people to live happily."

Chucher’s bell-like eyes stared intently at Rod.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Rod nodded.

"I understand."

Chucher slapped his back powerfully, making a resounding thump.

"Little Rod, get stronger quickly, and become a High Rank Combatant soon. We can hardly wait to fight alongside you."

Rod wondered, "Haven’t we fought together before?"

Chucher shook his head, "That was a special mission. Without entering the Fire Hall, you won’t see the true face of Trolian, nor will you be able to join us in battle."

"The Fire Hall... what is it?"

"It’s a combat department made up entirely of powerhouses, the topmost level within the Military War Department. Once you step into the ranks of High Rank Combatants, you’ll know."

"Alright, I have to go or else Elder Palos might suspect that I’m colluding with you. Rod, you must work hard. We all wait for you in the Fire Hall. Trolian needs your strength. Together, we can surely annihilate all monsters!"

Suddenly, Rod felt a surging passion and said loudly, "I will, just you wait!"

Chucher laughed heartily, "Good, fantastic!" He pounded his chest a few times and strode away.

But the fervent atmosphere in the air lingered for a long time.
