Chapter 798 When the extraordinary becomes ordinary
“What does it mean to be a professional?”
Peter spoke softly:
"Important responsibility?"
"Great power?"
"Respected status?"
"A good life?"
"Or something else?"
Bacon blinked a few times.
His eyes were full of clear confusion.
He is only 15 years old, how can he understand this.
Peter didn't expect his brother to tell him the reason, so he just asked and answered his own questions.
"These answers are actually correct, but they are also incorrect."
Thoughts wander.
Pate thought back to the day he left home alone and took the airship to Greenport.
What thoughts did he have at that time that made him think about becoming a mage?
Looking back carefully, the reason is actually very simple.
There are also differences between professionals.
Both are level 3, so the status of mage is much higher than that of warrior.
Children who grow up on the border will see many professionals leading their temporarily recruited militia teams here every year, preparing to board the border defense line to resist the attack of monsters.
At this time, the "status gap" between mages and warriors can be clearly seen.
Warrior professionals also have to find ways to solve the problem of food and accommodation.
Either rent a room temporarily in a hotel for a period of time, or find a local friend to stay overnight.
The mage is different.
Under normal circumstances, they can go directly to the Countess of Ceylon's castle as a guest, where the guest rooms have been cleaned long ago.
For this, the fee they have to pay is just to help copy some magic scrolls or make some simple magic items.
It is precisely because of this obvious gap that was discovered.
After learning that he had affinity with the goddess of magic, all Peter could think about at the time was: He wanted to become a mage, even the worst and most stupid third-level mage!
The mage is valued by others and can be enjoyed wherever he goes.
As for actual combat capabilities?
Will mages be more powerful than warriors when facing monsters?
This is not the focus of Pat's attention.
He simply thinks that the mage will make his life better and more comfortable!
Over the past few years, especially the many things he has experienced in the past six months, Pete has gradually come to understand:
The fundamental difference between the status of mages and warriors is not just that things are rare but valuable.
What's more important is their "altruism".
As a level 3 warrior, when a monster attacks, he can put on armor, hold on to his weapon and fight the enemy, but other than that?
All their skills are related to fighting.
They are very powerful when dealing with monsters, especially warriors like Brandon who can advance to level 4. Monsters of level 3 and below no longer pose much of a threat to him.
If it's something like providing lighting to a dark basement, cleaning out an old room that hasn't been cleaned for a long time, or even cultivating a few pieces of farmland and sewing a few sets of clothes.
The warrior professionals could only stare.
They are not much stronger than ordinary people, at most they have some advantages in physical strength and strength.
The mage is different.
The simplest thing is that the magic scrolls they copied can be easily used by anyone!
There are also various magic items, or runic circuits carved on the magic circle.
Even non-professionals can enjoy the help these things bring to them.
The same is true for priests who master the magic of radiance.
The aloof status of the Radiant Priests stems from this respect.
So, why can warrior professionals also be canonized by the king? Why can you become a noble? Have a higher status than ordinary people?
Because the kingdom has always faced threats from evil gods and monsters.
Regardless of whether they are kings or ordinary people, everyone needs professionals, especially powerful warrior professionals.
This is a necessity.
"Viscount Tostin is a powerful fourth-level warrior. Even in the entire kingdom, the number of fourth-level warriors is only about a thousand."
"His strength used to be considered one of the few top players in Ceylon."
"He can contribute enough to border defense and regional stability, so he can enjoy various preferential treatment."
"Canonized nobility."
"The entire estate given to him as a reward."
"Every year he gets a dividend from the countess from the regional taxes."
"But... what if the number of level 4 warriors increases in the future?"

"His status will definitely be affected."
Listening to his brother's explanation, Bacon seemed to understand.
He grew up in Ceylon.
The main scope of activities is near the former Chimu Town, and occasionally I will go to Ceylon City for a few days.
In fact, he has not seen much of the world, and has never experienced the "real" aristocratic life at all.
Baron Chenard, strictly speaking, does not belong to the kind of manor nobles who live a particularly good life and have particularly generous funds.
After all, he had no way to make money. At most, he could only be regarded as a larger manor owner. His main source of income came from the livestock raised and the harvest generated by hiring farmers to cultivate land.
Level 3 professionals have the opportunity to be canonized as barons.
Although Baron Cynard has always been obsessed with the fact that "His Majesty Kenridin personally conferred honors", in fact, the king's attitude towards the barons who grabbed a lot of them was basically a free-range attitude.
When they are enthroned, they are given a sum of money as a reward, which they can use to build their own manor at a designated location, or buy a second-hand renovated old manor.
There will be no more benefits in the future.
Some barons even become so arrogant after being enthroned that they forget everything else, and they will soon become poor and even in debt because of their extravagant and ostentatious lives.
The circle of life that Bacon experienced and the friends he interacted with in daily life were almost the same as those of ordinary people.
This is not the case with Pete.
He has been to many places and seen many things.
Especially the trip to the capital.
Whether it is Rune Monger's manor or the various details and etiquette that the nobles demanded, he was greatly shocked.
Those people have become accustomed to this kind of "I have what others don't have" and "I am better than others".
All of this is based on their unique identity.
They are professionals.
Powerful professionals.
Professionals who can protect this kingdom when monsters invade.
This is something only they can do, this is something that "superhumans" can do.
So they can enjoy all this with peace of mind.
The establishment of Dawn City was driven by the believers of the God of Knowledge, Nowen.
Because they also have a "unique" identity.
They can be warriors, mages, priests, architects, farmers who are good at using harvest magic, animal trainers who are proficient in taming animals, appraisers who know how to identify ores, herbs, etc....
As long as they want, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can learn the corresponding abilities.
Any profession required to build and protect a city, even a kingdom, or a continent can be met by the believers of knowledge.
Moreover, their number is increasing.
