YM778.TV Chapter 250 Two Paths
"As I said before, in Epic Rank, you need to decide a path of Magic or Combatant. You should know about the two categories of species, Fighter and Wiser. These two categories are the deciding factor of someone\'s path in Epic Rank.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "In Epic Rank, a species undergoes an evolution according to their bloodline compatibility to either Combatant Path or Magic Path. The Fighter Species are 99% end up evolving in the path of Combatant. While the Wiser Species, 99%, end up in the path of Magic.
"These two paths are essentially different from each other and have their own pros and cons. The Combatant Path is the path of Battle in which a species evolved in the way toward fighting, like stronger physiques, melee innate abilities, Combat Magic, battle sense, and such.
"We called them Combatants and the Bank\'s mercenaries, and the Alliance is mostly filled with them.
"However, the path of Wiser Species is the pure path of Magic. Although they didn\'t have strong physiques or battle sense and couldn\'t practice Combat Magic which is only made for strong physiques, even Extraordinary Physiques aren\'t enough to practice Combat Magic.
"But the magic destructive power, superior analyzing abilities, natural talent in alchemy, larger mana reserves, and such are far more than enough to put a Wiser above those Combatants. They are known as Sorcerers, and I\'m also a Sorceress." Ellie proudly stated.
Jacob was in deep thought after getting this new information on the two categories. He always thought there was a huge difference between the two, and now it was quite clear.
\'So, the Epic Rank, in a sense, is a divided factor between two categories, and the difference between them becomes clear as day, unlike the Extraordinary Rank. Both sides had their own pros and cons, like a Combatant will be able to kill a Sorcerer as long as it closed the distance.
\'The same goes for Sorcerer if it spotted the Combatant before it could reach it. Furthermore, this Combat Magic seemed quite unique, and in a sense, my strength is purely in the physical department with no trace of magic whatsoever.
\'However, I appeared as a blanker back then, and even Immortika dropped some subtle hints at something then. I\'m missing an important piece of the puzzle, and it might be the key to awake magic….\'
Jacob couldn\'t help but think in this direction, as magic power was always a sore thumb in his heart. But he couldn\'t find the answer and always reached a dead end.
"Vice President, is there more information on Combatants and Sorcerers in the market?" Jacob asked. He didn\'t want to show his lack of magic knowledge in front of Ellie since she seemed well-versed in magic.
Because he was an anomaly because he had an Epic Rank Physique but not a corresponding magic core, he was pretty sure he would appear as a valuable test subject in many people\'s eyes if this fact were made public.
Besides, he wasn\'t sure if Ellie would even spare the time to give him more information than she had already promised. He had already sensed the change in her attitude after he accepted her invitation.
So, he didn\'t want to fall off with her, not before he consolidated his position in the Alchemy Guild, or he might repeat the same incident with Gunnar.
Furthermore, the Alchemy Guild President didn\'t approach him personally, so that guy was still a mystery, and his attitude toward him. So, he was quite careful now.
Just as he thought, Ellie seemed slightly impatient as she replied, "There is naturally all kinds of information in our private server. But it is bounded by the rank of a plain. So, you need to enter Epic Plains to see the information about Epic Plains. It is that simple.
"Now that you are already a reserve member, I want you to become an official member in three years. Because in these three years, including you, there will be 11 more alchemists joining you in the voyage toward Epic Plains. Someone will approach you in the alchemy guild in the dark city when the time arrives.
"The Rare Plains\' situation is getting worse as those Dark Beings are totally going for the annihilation of the Freedom Plains before the reinforcement from our side reaches the Rare Plains.
"But you don\'t have to worry. As long as you stay in the dark city, you\'ll be safe. I want you to focus on getting rid of the reserve member status in these three years. I\'ll give you 10,000 ZC. It should be more than enough for your studies and meet the requirement to become an official member.
"Don\'t disappoint me or slack off, or you\'ll regret it. My eyes are always on you!"
With this mysterious statement, Ellie ended the projection call, leaving Jacob frowning.
\'Why is her end goal? Whatever it is, it can\'t be achieved unless I reach the Epic Plains, it seems.\' Jacob thought as he felt Ellie was hiding her motives related to him.
Although she didn\'t have malicious intent, he could tell she was more like a control freak who wanted everything under her thumb and enjoyed suppressing people.
\'What a strange day.\' Jacob sighed as he felt too much had happened in one day, and it all started after he passed the Senior Grandmaster test.
If he knew so much trouble would follow, he might not even take the test. But he knew he needed the Alchemy Guild\'s Magic Smith Workshop, so this would\'ve happened sooner or later.
Since things were over, he now had some more information about the Epic Plains power structure. That place seemed completely under the control of three hegemonies, and their means were quite imposing.
Afterward, he opened the messages he received after joining the alchemy guild.
Like the Alliance, the first message was about the rules and regulations of the Alchemy Guild and their ranking system. There were Nine Stars Ranks for Reserve Alchemists.
He was again given two types of identity badges, one for Reserve Alchemist, which was his real identity. The second one is for the rare plains, and they were plenty of them. Even Magic Smith\'s badge was among them, and all of them could be shown up to Senior Grandmaster Ranks, so he was quite content with it.
In the third message, he received 100 Zodiac credits after entering the Alchemy Guild.
As for the fourth message, the moment he opened them, he received two promotions, and they were quite familiar.
\'You have successfully Joined the Private Star Server (Rare Alchemists)
\'You have successfully Joined the Private Star Server (Freedom Plains Alchemists)
Jacob scoffed and opened the last message, knowing what it could be. He saw a star network link and opened it without hesitation.
An application started to get installed in his star watch, and soon, he saw the emblem of the Alchemist Guild appearing in his star watch.
His lips curled up as he opened the Alchemist Guild\'s Application!
