Chapter 449 - 18. Run fast_2
Balzac glanced at Helldor beside him and said with some doubts,
"Hey, are you serious? That guy is clearly not associated with those tomboys from the Sardinia Female Country, and he’s also interested in scrolls... You dare to ask for his help with such a dubious character?"
"Sss... It’s Valentina who makes the decisions, not me. I’m just expressing my opinion. I’m powerless against the magic curse of the Phoenix, and so are you."
"Tch..."
Balzac sat impatiently on the beach, folded his arms, and looked out over the silent sea.
Perched in the tree, Fisher quickly sketched out his own envisioned new rank system, listing the factors that affected an individual’s rank and arranging them according to importance.
Firstly, what definitely plays a decisive role in rank is an individual’s strength, which is mainly composed of two parts: the strength of their Constitution and the additive effect of special abilities. If we don’t consider abilities like Fallen Resistance and Water Breathing, then the factor determining his current rank would be the strength of his Constitution, which could be referenced from the ancient ranking system.
Next, consider a few external factors like Magic, relics, and so on. These enhancements should all act as boosts on top of the individual’s inherent strength. Among them, if we disregard the cost and time consumed during engraving, Magic should be the most obvious boost to a rank, and the corresponding ring number can also be well-planned to determine the extent of the enhancement.
As for relics, these items are too numerous and their effects too diverse for Fisher to calculate all at once. He vaguely felt there were different levels among the relics, but even after asking Emhardt, who said he did not know, could only tell Fisher that the quality gap of relics was mainly determined by the materials, purpose, and forging skills used.
Emhardt did not know how he had been created, and, moreover, the Holy Descendants kept the methods of forging relics a closely guarded secret; it wasn’t clear how Mu Xi had learned these skills. Anyway, Emhardt could probably clarify the grading of these Holy Objects.
The lowest grade would be relics forged from ordinary Magic Materials, similar to Moli’s hairband, with even combat-type relics not exceeding the Extraordinary Rank in strength.
