in the name of the queen

Chapter 96 How many steps does it take to weigh an elephant?

"What did you say?" Alina looked at Roland in surprise.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and asked softly, "Why?"

"The deep sea is too dangerous. We are friends."

"I have a spy friend from Jin Yuan Kingdom?" Alina asked with a smile.

"I have a friend named Alina who I can trust with my life and death." Roland replied seriously.

Alina was stunned, her eyes gradually softened.

"Thank you. In fact, I don't want to give up astrology. My love for the starry sky is far greater than the deep sea, and astrologer is a high-level profession. If there is a way, how can I be willing to give up."

"Higher profession?" Roland was a little surprised.

Alina was stunned and realized that Roland was not pretending to be stupid, but really didn't know, so she smiled and said:

"That's right. You don't have a teacher to teach you carefully and you don't have a family inheritance. You are a wild transcendent. It's normal not to know these things."

"Let's go to the study. Let's talk slowly."

Seeing half of the dishes left on the table, Roland felt a little distressed. He hurriedly ate the remaining steak and threw the big snail that had written delicious food with its life on the spot.

study.

Alina sorted out her thoughts and said softly: "The history of extraordinary beings starts from the third era of natural era in ancient times. The natural era is the oldest era with recorded history, and the older eras of chaos and gods are also It’s hard to believe ancient legends.”

"The natural era gave birth to two intelligent races in human form, elves and earth spirits. The earliest magic and extraordinary abilities were also born in this era. Earth spirits and elves are both highly hierarchical races, so magicians and extraordinary beings also have a strict hierarchy. .”

"In addition to rank promotion, extraordinary professions are also divided into upper and lower professions. The upper profession must be the main profession, and the lower profession can be the main profession or a secondary profession."

Alina thought for a while and said calmly: "Astrologer is a high-level profession, and traveler is a low-level profession. The high-level profession has greater potential. As long as you can choose to be high-level, who would choose to be low-level?"

Roland asked curiously: "Writer, knight, lady and chef, which ones are considered high-ranking professions and which ones are considered low-ranking?"

"Writer is a branch of [Erudition] and is a higher-level profession. Lady is a branch of [Authority] and is also a higher-level profession. Knight is a special upper-level profession, and the Paladin branch is one of the very few upper-level professions that can be used as a secondary profession."

There was only one cook left, which made Alina hesitate.

She carefully opened the secret compartment behind the bookshelf and took out the dark black box. With a "click" sound, the box opened. She took out a small book from inside, read it carefully, shook her head and sighed:
  "Chef is probably a new extraordinary profession that has not been classified yet. But don't worry about it. The upper and lower positions are mainly divided according to functions. The lower ones may not be the opponents of the upper ones."

Alina's comfort made Roland more clearly aware of the difference between upper and lower professions.

But he didn't want Lisa to go to the battlefield and fight her best. It didn't make much difference whether she was in a high position or a low position. It is easier to advance to a lower-level career, which may be more suitable for her.

Alina asked curiously: "These professions you mentioned?"

"I am the writer and knight. I can't say anything else for the time being." Alina did not hide her extraordinary profession, and Roland naturally would not hide it.

But Sif and Lisa didn't necessarily want to say that.

Alina's eyes lit up.

"You also have two cards? Writer and Knight are both high-level professions, no matter which one you choose, it's good. Unfortunately, the method of merging professions and dual professions has been lost, and one must be given up when promoting."

"I really don't want to give up being an astrologer."

Roland suddenly thought of the elf Sif, and his heart trembled.

He wanted to help Alina, but he couldn't do it, and he couldn't expose the existence of Elf Sif, so he could only remind her with a smile.

"Who knows, since people in the past were able to do it, we may not have a chance."

The sea of ​​flowers and the spirit Sif are secrets that cannot be shared with anyone.

Especially the elf Sif. Although she said that her triple death was hopeless, Roland still longed to meet her in reality one day.

Everyone's promotion path has their own set of ups and downs and opportunities. Elf Sif is his opportunity, and it can only be his.

Alina just listened to Roland's words casually. She shrugged and said:

"The teacher also said that in the new era of magic, there has not yet been a strong person who combines professions. Although dual professions exist, they all died on the way to promotion."

"Having too much is not necessarily a good thing. Putting aside this, you said you wanted to help me observe my destiny. Do you also know astrology?"

Alina's eyes were burning with blazing flames of anticipation.

"I don't understand." Roland extinguished her expectations with a basin of cold water.

The hand Alina just raised froze in the air, and she didn't even know whether to continue the joyful gesture or take it back.

She was a little angry.

But in the end there was only a sigh, "I knew it."

"I mean, I don't know how to observe my fate directly, but I can speculate indirectly."

"Huh?" Alina's brain was about to burn.

“Have you ever heard the story of the clever boy who called the elephant?”

"No, come on, come on." Alina's curiosity dispelled her disappointment, and she motioned Roland to sit down across from him, resting her chin with her hands in a listening posture.

"You must have seen an elephant, right?"

"I have seen them. Not only have I seen savanna elephants, but I have also seen woolly mammoths. I know they are very heavy, and I can only speculate that they cannot be weighed." Alina was very excited.

"Weighing elephants is easy."

Roland told the famous elephant-weighing story in history. Of course, Cao Chong’s children’s names have been localized.

Alina suddenly understood.

"Use displacement to calculate weight, that's it." Having crossed the sea many times, she understood instantly.

Roland said calmly: "Yes, it is displacement. My destiny is that elephant, which cannot be directly measured. But you can observe the people around me to calculate the trajectory of my destiny."

"People with close relationships can provide a wider range of trajectories, while those with distant relationships can provide less range. As long as there are enough samples, the trajectory of my fate can be roughly determined!"

Alina's eyes bloomed with moving brilliance.

Roland had never seen such a look in her eyes.

Like the brightest star in the night sky.

Touching.

After a long silence, Alina stood up, walked outside the desk, and bowed abruptly to Roland.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Roland quickly stood up and stopped Alina.

"Thank you, Roland. The ideas you provided are very good and worth a try. No matter whether I can break through the eighth level, I will always remember this kindness."

"Don't be so exaggerated. We are friends. We need to help each other when we have difficulties."

Roland shook the old ticket in his hand and said half-jokingly:
  "If I were in trouble and needed you to take me and my friends out to sea in a big ship, you would definitely not refuse, right?"

"I swear on my life. As long as you need me, I can be your captain at any time!"

Alina put her right hand against her chest and spoke seriously.
