Hero profession.
Even with what he saw, Joshua couldn't help but frown.
[Chaos Watcher], as the name suggests, should be the same camp profession as the [Light Order Holy Guard] of the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea and the [Balance Judge] of the Western Mountain Royal Court. Although rare, it is not impossible to find, at least among the gods. The paladin can be regarded as a half-camp profession, but not so extreme.
The real priority is this heroic profession.
Just like characters have templates to classify them, and items have levels to determine whether they are high or low, professions also have strengths and weaknesses.
Farmers and militiamen are the most ordinary [civilian occupations], while warriors who have received various trainings, thieves who are proficient in unlocking theft, and rangers who wander in the wilderness are [formal occupations], while wizards and priests are But spellcasters are different. Since the talents required are relatively rare, they are born as [Elite Profession].
Each profession can be advanced and changed. Militiamen can be promoted to warriors or transferred to mercenaries. If you are confident and talented, you can become a mage. In the continent of strife, people's choices are It is free, and everything you want to find a job depends on your personal interests. The five levels of civilian, formal, elite, excellence, and extraordinary are the advancement process for ordinary professionals.
But just like spellcasters, there are some special professions that can only be obtained through talent and inheritance. [Chosen One] and [Hero Profession] are such representatives.
A person who is born with the ability to control flames is so unique no matter what profession he advances to. He can even sublimate it with his own abilities. This is the so-called [Chosen One], but the [Hero Profession] is different from it. The difference is that what it requires is not talent, but some kind of inheritance that carries power.
Just like the [Brave] needs to hold the Demon-Destroying Holy Sword, and the [Earthshaker] needs the Great Map Teng Pole, each hero profession requires similar inheritance items and sufficient talents to take up the job. Obviously, [Seal Guard] is required The Chaos Watcher, who can only take up his post with a rare item of origin such as the Azure Orb of the Guardian, is also such a profession.
Opening his right hand, Joshua looked at the blue gem in his palm and couldn't help but sigh.
In his previous life, he completed at least ten complex task chains, and even had time to kill a dozen beholder elders in the process to gather the materials for the ritual. Only then did he get the opportunity to take up the heroic profession [Rune Swordsman], and use this to understand Extremely meaningful.
And now, an opportunity to take up the hero profession is right in front of him.
"System, identification."
Joshua rarely uses the system's abilities, even when facing gold-level enemies. It's not that he rejects things that cannot be mastered, but simply because his rich experience is enough to cope with most situations. After becoming a legend in his previous life, he had no habit of using the system, which caused the warrior to always forget that he still had such a thing.
But now, facing this strange object that he had never heard of in his previous life, he could only rely on its power.
[...Item identification is in progress... The judgment of origin knowledge is successful, the judgment of rare object knowledge is failed, and the judgment of historical knowledge is successful. You have received a piece of employment-related information.]
[Appraisal Report: Origin of Rare Object—Sealing the Guardian’s Azure Orb]
[Origin: As the sages said, even if you have sunk into the bottomless abyss of eternal chaos, there is still an initial fire. Maybe it cannot burn, but it can carry the power of order.]
[Strange object: As unburned fire, the azure orb contains... ]
[History: Thousands of years ago, the Sage found the Azure Orb buried in the mountains in the depths of the Abyss. He gave it to the Third Saint and gave him the mission of calming the tide of chaos and sealing the entrance to the abyss. . Since the Lost War, Azure's Orb has lost its trace in front of the world, but the inheritance of the Chaos Watchers has still continued quietly.]
[General: The orb contains great power of order, but it cannot be derived through conventional methods.]
[Job information: Blood of Chaos, source of fire.]
Joshua turned his head and looked at the silent Ying - this mysterious girl has been in a relatively dazed state since entering this cemetery. Thinking about it carefully, the warrior couldn't help but feel that what he did was too thoughtless. After all, there were so many remains of divine machines here. For Yingying, who had only been out of the Sealing Blade Chamber for more than a month, it was indeed a big shock to suddenly see so many remains of the same kind.
Turning around, he looked around. There was nothing in the pale sky, which seemed to be endless and pale without a dome. Correspondingly, it was the black earth with many tombs and stone monuments erected.
"The free hero profession seems to be fine. How could I not accept it... Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's evil or justice. It doesn't matter whether it's about guarding order or guarding chaos."
Breathing the stagnant, extremely dry air, Joshua stared at the inscription in front of him, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "Whether it's killing orcs or monsters, as long as it allows me to fight, fight with stronger enemies. … As long as that’s the case.”
Since this is the path you have chosen, it doesn't seem like a bad choice.
So the sound rang out.
"I, Joshua Radcliffe, swear that I will watch over all evil creation until the doom of eternity."
He closed his right hand and held the cyan orb tightly.
"Inauguration, Warden of Chaos."
—唏
The sound of wind, like a sigh, came from the windless world.
Colorless, without any color, just pure light came from Joshua's right hand. It had no temperature and no lethality. It was extremely gentle, as if it did not exist, but it truly illuminated the world.
Taking the warrior as the origin, the light began to spread rapidly like a semicircular cover, covering all the tombs in an instant. It reached the end of the narrow channel of time and space. The forces of chaos and order faced each other at the edge, but there was no Waves were made.
got windy.
Along with the flow of air, some blue-white light spots slowly emerged from under all the gray tombstones, and then floated, rushing towards the warrior's right hand in the direction of the wind, and gathered in the clenched palm.
Joshua seemed to see everyone's memories - men or women with black hair and red eyes. They were born and grew up on this land, learned to fight, fought, performed their duties, and protected their people. Then facing Aragami or Kuroshio, die calmly or unwillingly.
The secret of the evil god cannot be told to everyone, but the seal needs people to protect it. Those who choose to take on this responsibility are undoubtedly worthy heroes.
The aperture rotated and expanded to the limit. The colorless light surged and then shrank suddenly. The entire space-time narrow channel suddenly dimmed. This glow merged all the bluish-white light spots into the orb, and then enveloped Joshua's body.
Power continued to pour in, and the red text kept refreshing in front of his eyes, and finally settled into a dense subtitle.
[You have successfully taken up the hero profession - Chaos Watcher]
[Your professional level +5]
[warn! You have not met the unlocking conditions!]
[Professional talents: Order aura, camp detection, (locked), (locked)]
[Professional characteristics: Unburnt Fire, (Locked), (Locked)]
[Professional Skill Tree: Purification, Order, Protection (Assimilated into Ultimate Intention)]
[You need to complete a professional mission to unlock level rewards and professional talents and characteristics.]
[Mission: Purification Sacrifice]
[Using the blood soaked in chaos to trigger the initial fire, the azure orb longs for sacrifice.]
[Mission goal: Kill a chaotic camp target that is silver or above. 0/1]
Not paying attention to the unlocking task, Joshua just closed his eyes and quietly felt the power surging in his body.
Suddenly, the power transmitted from the azure orb fit perfectly with his bloodline, as if it was originally one body without any sense of disobedience. It had integrated into the body and became part of the warrior's original strength.
"So this is the resonance I felt at the beginning. The power of order accumulated by the ancestors of the Radcliffe family in the past generations returns to the Azure Orb after the death of the holder, and then the next generation inherits it through the blood... So that's the case, if If I die, this power should return to the Azure Orb and be inherited by my descendants."
Just like a bonfire passed down from generation to generation, even if the firewood burns to ashes, there is still fire left in it that can be passed on to the next generation.
Joshua opened his eyes, his red pupils as bright as flames. Now, all the light disappeared, and the narrow channel of time and space suddenly returned to its original appearance. He held the azure orb that had stopped emitting light in his hand and remained silent.
Turning his head to look at the cemetery, his gaze stayed for more than ten seconds. The soldier turned back expressionlessly. Then, without saying a word, he strode towards the door behind him and left here. The silver-haired Shenji also tightened his grip. Follow. When she walked into the space-time door, she looked back at the tombstones, and then they also disappeared in the blue light.
What should a warrior do when faced with the respectable dead
There is no need to pay tribute, because practicing their ideas is the best sacrifice. There is no need to remember, because their mission is with them.
…
Black earth, pale sky, gray stone monuments.
The faint blue door disappeared, and the wind caused by the azure orb also stopped, and the cemetery in the narrow passage of time and space returned to its original silence.
Fire brings light and heat.
The beginning of human civilization started with fire.
In that era when darkness enveloped the earth, human ancestors raised burning torches to disperse the darkness with light.
Passed from father to son, and from son to grandson, this fire has been passed on in the transition of civilizations from beginning to end. Even death can't extinguish it. There are always sparks hidden in the black ashes. And these fires will always light up again.
Descendants of mankind, we must let the light continue.
