Many roads

Walking along the corridor, Firtsar decided to immediately explain everything to them:

- While we are walking, I will tell you in more detail. This is the Green Department. Here everything related to living nature, such as herbs, food, fruits, vegetables, plants, trees, bushes and so on

- There are several professions in the Green Department, namely Doctor, Poison Doctor, Potion Maker, Alchemist, Pharmacist, Tea Brewer, Gourmet and Herbiologist

- Let's look at the professions of the green department

- Doctors and Poison Doctors were actually two sides of the same coin. They used healing herbs, but the former used them to save lives, while the latter used them to take life.

- They could both heal everyone with both herbs and poisons, but the latter were simply more aggressive in terms of what they could use in battle. Doctors treat, create medicines, poisons, tinctures and various healing decoctions

- The potion maker creates Elixirs and potions for: treatment, energy replenishment, enhancement of various qualities and destruction. He also creates healing baths, various powders and explosives for battle.

- The alchemist creates pills for a sharp increase in energy, for treatment, for a breakthrough in development, for cleansing the body, for long-term saturation from food, and others

- The pharmacist creates various tablets, ointments for quick healing of wounds, for women all sorts of things for their beauty, well, naturally, for men, as well as ointments for hardening the body

- Potions Maker, Alchemist and Pharmacist, they are all very similar in themselves and those who develop at least one of them usually begin to develop all three. We can say that this is one profession, but three guilds do not agree with this and do not agree to unite into one

- Tea brewers brew tea from a wide variety of herbs and plants. They use tea in different ways, for treatment, battle, to stabilize the spirit, soul, mind and consciousness, increase energy and the like, quite interesting

- There were even magicians who used many illusion spells through the smell of tea for battles. According to rumors, there were even those who made tea from blood... the details of those events are quite creepy

- Gourmets are the same chefs who prepare food, but gourmets cook from wild creatures making dishes truly amazingly tasty. Although the masters of Ascension do not need to eat much, why deny yourself such pleasure, and they also act as elixirs and pills

- There are such dishes that, by eating them, you can restore a very large amount of energy or you can increase your strength by several levels. Also, with the help of food you can even create different killer formations during battle, amazing isn't it?

- Herbiologists are essentially farmers. They grow herbs, bushes, trees and various crops, as well as sometimes wild creatures, such as various insects and bees. In short, they are like farmers, but the scale of their farm depends on the wealth and status of the Herbiologist himself

- Although Alchemists, potion makers, gourmets, tea brewers, pharmacists and doctors also have their own gardens or fields for growing herbs, they pale in comparison with the gardens of Heribologists

- All professions require a high level of Ascension. For example, in order to cure a complex disease or a higher poison, the doctor himself must have a high level of

- To make a high-ranking pill, an alchemist needs to better control the heat of the cauldron, the properties of medicinal herbs, the collision of different energies within the cauldron, and without strong energy this is impossible to do

- Although these professions will not help you much in battle, they will help you in your development and will also help you earn extra money. If you are a good herbiologist, you can simply grow herbs and sell them to certain individuals, and they will help provide you with protection and income

- Also in each profession there are ranks that showed your skill and status. The higher your rank, the more privileges you will receive in the Guild of this profession, as well as in the world itself

- So I will be respected?

Erald immediately asked, to which Firzar nodded:

- That's right, and with a high rank you will be able to receive more resources from the Guild in exchange for fulfilling a few of their simple requests. After all, nothing is free, but it's worth it

- There are Ten ranks in total, when you choose a profession, I will tell you about the ranks in it, because in each profession the ranks were distributed differently, because they didn't want to all look the same

Next, Firtsar showed the office of each of the professions, as well as their equipment with which they work. Potions makers used flasks and special devices, Alchemists and Pharmacists used cauldrons, gourmets naturally did everything that cooks, doctors also did all that.

Haldar and Erald found everything very interesting and understood little, for Erald only knew how to fight, and Haldar could plant flowers and bushes. Erald liked the gourmet, but when he learned that he would have to cook there first, and then eat, he refused and decided to choose something else.

- Now let's go back, I'll show you other departments

Firzar led them back to the hall from where they were about to move to the next department. Entering the hall, they saw a small group of students appear in the previously empty hall. There was Gracus with his company and Torkrim with Fiana.

Firtzar, seeing such a situation, quickly came up with a solution and decided to leave:

- Well, go say hello to your comrades, and I'll go away for a minute and continue

- Fine

Haldar and Erald bowed and went to their classmates.

- Torkrim, Fiana, how are you?

- Oh Haldar and Erald, you also came

Torkrim immediately said hello, but when Fiana saw them she did not react in any way and was simply busy with her thoughts.

- Yes, we also decided to look into the fourth building to see what professions we can choose for ourselves.

- Hmm, I see. I see you have already met the elder, but where did he go?

Torkrim nodded, and then asked with interest where Firtsar, who had just been there, had disappeared. Haldar and Erald turned and saw that the elder had disappeared, but promised to return.

- He said that he would go away for one minute and then continue the tour

- Clear. Hey Fiana, go say hello to your comrades

Torkrim thought for a moment and then noticed that his sister did not show due respect to her comrades at all. He quietly chided his little sister, who stood silently behind him.

- Haldar, Erald, excuse my younger sister, she's a bit of a rebel and a hooligan

Torkrim smiled and helped Fiana come out from behind him and stand next to him.

- Aaah, brother, no need. Don't want

Fiana did not want to greet them or even communicate. Torkrim looked at her smiling, to which Fiana shuddered and turned to them. After a second, she lifted her nose and arrogantly greeted:

- Hello, but don't think that I truly consider you comrades. Hmph

- Little one, make sure you don't burst during training.

Erald laughed cheerfully, but the lights played dangerously in his eyes. Fiana immediately looked at him furiously:

- Who did you call petty!?

Fiana was about to attack Erald, but Torkrim stopped her in time:

- Let it be, everyone, cool down

- I hope we can become good comrades

Haldar, ignoring Fiana, looked at Torkrim and asked:

- Have you already chosen which profession or professions you will choose?

- Yes. I'll choose Friend of the Wild, and Fiana has been studying the ghost dancer and musician for some time, so will continue her training here, but we'd like to take a look at everything

- I see, but we haven't chosen yet...

- Hmm!

Haldara was abruptly interrupted by the suddenly arriving Elder Firzar, who was no longer alone. Next to him stood a graceful female wyvern from whom a great medicinal smell emanated.

- Hi all. Who doesn't know me, Elder Firtsar, and this is Professor Yuvetta, she is one of the professors of the Green Department, she will show you in practice what potions, pharmaceuticals and alchemy are, and will also tell you about other professions of the Green Department, and after that I will show you everything else

- So boys and girls follow me, those who want to see the green department, and those who want to see the rest first, follow Elder Firtsar

- Okay, I see it's time for us to go. See you later, Haldar, Erald

Torkrim, seeing that Yuvetta had started gathering, quickly said goodbye to Haldar and Erald in order to be on time. He, Fiana and Grakus's team soon went deep into the green department. Fiana didn't even spare them a glance and simply left after her brother.

- Let's good luck

Haldar waved his hand at them, and Erald frowned.

- I don't like her, she puts herself too highly

Erald liked Torkrim and his calm and dignified attitude, but Fiana's arrogance infuriated and alarmed him a little. Haldar smiled and said quietly:

- Well... don't consider them comrades, but just an additional shield or a mercenary whom you don't mind leaving behind. You know what I mean, right?

- Ha ha, that's right

Erald smiled knowingly. During training, they had already worked with such "comrades", and none of them survived.

- Well, let's move on, everyone else went with Yuvetta

Thirzar led only the two of them, for everyone else followed Yuvetta.

The elder led them to the second corridor, which was marked White.

- This is the White Department. There are several professions in the White Department, namely commerce, teaching, enchantment, rune enchantment, appraiser, philosophy, tactician, speaker and explorer

- In Commerce, all merchants learn very subtle mathematics and use it for their own purposes. For better construction of various schemes and formations, logistics, budget and so on, as well as better management of lands, assets, things and division of resources, money from an economic point of view. To build the most complex formations you need to know mathematics very well.

- In Teaching, the teacher educates students, but he must cultivate in his students not only strength, courage and intelligence, but also correct moral values ​​and try to guide them on their own path

- In Charomancy, enchanters enchant various equipment, buildings, things, artifacts, cauldrons and the like. Enchanters can cast up to fourteen different enchantments on things, but how many enchantments they can cast depends on the strength and understanding of the enchanter. The largest number of enchantments was 15 on one sword

- This is a delicate matter, because the object itself must be able to calmly withstand the power of all the spells placed on it at once. And the charmer himself must balancese charms so that they do not conflict with each other and do not create unnecessary accidents

- In Rune Enchantment, the same as in enchantment, only here instead of enchantments, runes are used on various equipment, buildings, things, artifacts, cauldrons and the like. Runes also have a wide variety of effects and meanings. Runes and enchantments can be combined to make weapons truly monstrous

- But the main thing is not to overdo it, because the weapon may not withstand the power of all the spells and runes and even the injection of your energy and may begin to crack, and then completely break or explode

- Appraisers. The main task of appraisers is to identify artifacts and a variety of things. Valuation is not just about identifying a thing and its origin. It is much more important to understand the thoughts of the creator, only then can you understand the meaning of things

- Appraisal is a very multifaceted subject and covers many areas - culture, history, painting, antiques, equipment... All this requires unusually deep knowledge

- They are also philosophers and historians; they record the history of our world, and also prove and disprove various truths. Their calligraphy can subjugate, kill and change everything

- Tactics are those who maintain contact with everyone, supply information and lead individual detachments or entire armies on the battlefield. Through various magical, runic or spiritual communications, they can transmit information from one place to another

- Speaker. Their most important formula for success is knowing how to communicate. Speakers with their speech increase morale, spirit, and also convince different masses that they are right

- The main factor in all world negotiations has always been oral speech, and not words written on paper. A speaker speaking before the masses reads on the faces of the audience how much they understand what he is saying, how much they sympathize with him

- The audience immediately makes certain corrections to what the speaker says. The speaker needs to feel the contact between him and the audience. A writer cannot say anything like this about himself

- A brilliant orator, as a rule, will also be a good writer, and a brilliant writer will never be an orator, unless he has specifically practiced this art

- Researchers are masters of search and research. They possess a lot of ancient knowledge and deftly explore various ancient dungeons, ruins and places. Ideal hunters, killers and mercenaries

Firtsar took Haldar and Erald into each office and showed them what it was like inside, and then led them to another department, which was marked Brown.

- This is the Brown department. There are several professions in the Brown Department, namely blacksmith, builder, celestial mechanic, masker, artist and sculptor

- A blacksmith, his main purpose is the manufacture of weapons and various equipment, as well as the repair and restoration of broken parts of the previously mentioned. One of the most profitable and in demand professions, after all, war has always been and will be

- The builder stands, strengthens and creates. Strong builders can build a huge fort in half a day if not less. They are very useful in building, conquering and strengthening positions

- Instead of a destroyed and captured city, the next day a sudden mighty castle can be erected, completely fortified with magical spells and runes with a strong garrison. Well, of course, a few builders cannot do this, but thousands of strong ones are quite

- Celestial Mechanic, they are masters in creating various mechanisms, traps and devices for communication, energy transfer and so on. They always make incredible things like coffins, by filling them with energy you can slow down aging while in them, as well as mechanical Colossi that are enchanted with magic and runes

- Masker they are able to disguise everything like body, soul, spirit, heart, ascension and everything else to make themselves a completely different creature. There was one basilisk that ran away from the High Ancestors simply by hiding in a crowd in one of the cities

- He was constantly transformed into different creatures, and the ancestors could not distinguish between them and could not catch him, and the Higher Ancestors have a truly terrifying consciousness with which they can easily sense anyone within a radius of more than a million kilometers

- Artistry. Those who have chosen this profession are all masters of changing masks. They never show their true feelings, which makes them truly unpredictable. Ideal officials, negotiators, disguisers, assassins, scouts and spies

- A sculptor must feel the beauty of life. And to display in your sculptures not only appearance, but strength, soul, and all other qualities. Sculptors can create the most extraordinary things with the help of sculptures. Strengthen yourself by breaking your sculpture, turning into a sculpture, making yourself a completely different creature, although this is the same disguise and much more

- Now the last section. This is the Red Department. There are several professions in the Red Department, namely Friend of the Wild, Artist, Musician, Ghost Dancer, Formation Master and Spiritual Master

- Friend of the wild or Tamer. Tamers tame, subdue or become friends with dwhat creatures and spirits. Your overall combat power will be much stronger than alone

- Masters of this profession can also mutate and gain the power of their subordinate wild creatures, becoming truly monstrously strong. One of the most powerful professions, so I ask for your attention

- Artist. Painting is different from magic, skills and techniques. It's not something you can achieve just because you have talent. You need to accumulate a lot of experience and emotions in order to comprehend life in order to paint good pictures.

- In the Arkham story, he not only had talent, but also perseverance, thanks to which he continued to draw and improve every day. Just think about it, because thoughts can change you

- Artists use paintings and calligraphy. Paintings by strong artists can stop armies of millions, and even destroy them, as Arkham did

- Musicians are able to use music to captivate hearts and distract them, so that they can be killed or injured at that moment. Great musicians can even use the sound of wind and footsteps as a way to kill

- Musician was a profession that specialized in mental attacks. Having reached a high level, with a light sound a musician could create an entire army or a destructive storm, the power of which would be difficult to resist

- In ancient times, one Ancestor 9-rank musician was surrounded by enemies, namely several Ancestors, as well as Sages. By playing the instrument, he brought out the demons of their hearts, which later killed them, and then, unfortunately, him

(The Demon of the Heart is your Fear. It can be anything that you are afraid of. For example, a very powerful opponent that you could not defeat and in your mind he is forever stronger. A great being made a random contemptuous comment in your direction, and you Just the mention of it makes you tremble)

- Phantom dancers, at their core, try to turn their dancing skills into murder weapons. The world trembles with dance, and the next moment souls die. Dancing is the Phantom Dancer's medium to attack the souls and consciousness of the enemy.

- Phantom Dancers use their dances to subjugate, enchant, damage, or even kill the souls and minds of other beings. Steps are movement, which means one of the ways ghost dancers attack

- Phantom dancers are usually also musicians, since their attacks are similar in nature. Dancing, as well as singing and playing an instrument, is very beautiful; many masters come to the pavilions to watch their performances

- In most cases, girls become ghost dancers because it is easier for them to charm with dancing than for men. Thus, with the help of dances they attract all attention to themselves and it looks like they have stolen their minds

- Dance that can steal the world... It is truly a formidable profession

Haldar shuddered a little and nodded.

- Formation Masters create and set up different formations. They use set formations

- The established formation is used for strengthening, teleportation, ambush, hiding, collecting energy, killing and so on. There are many types of installation formations, they are installed at a specific place for a specific purpose

- Or these formations can be placed on a Formation Disk and by activating the disk, the formation that was sealed in the disk is activated in a small area. Although it will be much weaker than the one installed, speed is important here

- There are also Joint Formations, but they can be used by anyone who learns them. If the installed one needed knowledge of mathematics, terrain, understanding of the surrounding energy and the formation itself, then the joint one just needed good coordination and knowledge of the formation itself

- A joint formation is used by multiple masters to combine their power against powerful enemies. Such formations always use different armies to fight very strong experts or another army

- For example, a joint formation of three Highest Ancestors can kill the Eternal Raisai of the initial levels, or a thousand like you can kill one Highest, it all depends on those in the formation and the enemy

- Spiritual masters can create, possess, summon and resurrect different spirits. For example, when a spirit leaves a weapon, that is, the spirit of a weapon dies, spiritual masters can summon, create or infuse another spirit into the weapon, or resurrect the deceased, thereby giving the weapon new life

-They can also create spirits in different things. For example, the main building of the Guild of Spiritual Masters is alive; there is a spirit in it, which was created by the Head of the Guild of Spiritual Masters. At first, the guild, when it came to life, tried to escape because at that time, the head was only practicing the ability to create high-level spirits and did not expect that he would succeed

- But when the guild saw the Head, she became the most obedient, because the head was for her like a mother who gave birth to her. Spiritual masters can also: heal wounded souls, develop, purify and harden them. Many of those who have wounded their souls go to them, for they are also called Doctors of Souls

- Doctors and Poison Doctors heal bodies, and Doospiritual masters (Doctors of souls) heal souls, and consciousness or intelligence can only be restored over time

- During battle, some spirit masters infuse different spirits into weapons and use them to fight. But the creation or infusion of a spirit spends a lot of energy, so you can't fight for that long

- And so we come to the end

Firtsar completed his little tour of the fourth building by returning to the Hall.

- When you decide on your chosen profession or professions, come to me. I will give you sheets with the schedule of classes for the selected professions, and I will also enroll you in the guild and give you the first rank of the selected professions

- Although even to earn the first rank you must already prove your knowledge in your chosen profession, but with us it's a little simpler. Next, to get a higher rank you will need to pass tests from the Professor

- Okay, thank you Elder for showing and explaining to us. We will definitely come when we decide

- Will wait

Having said goodbye to the Elder, they went to the dormitory to rest and gain strength for tomorrow, because a practical lesson awaited them, as they heard it would be in the morning, but no one knew exactly when.

In the dorm, everyone had a personal room, and it so happened that Haldar and Erald's rooms were next to each other. Whether it was a coincidence or not didn't matter to them. They went to their rooms and went about their business.

Haldar began arranging his room for maximum comfort and convenience, and also laid out all the necessary things. He had a lot of different books and notebooks with notes.

Haldar, while studying with Elam and Meris, also studied the history and cultures of this world. Various simple tools and things were alien to this world. This world also had a rather strange fauna, which Haldar had been actively studying with Denfor over the past few years.

Thanks to Ascension, they could get enough sleep in a couple of hours, but Haldar still preferred a full night's sleep after an active day. However, this time he decided to leaf through a little of the books he took from the library today.

The night passed unnoticed. For masters like them, every day passes instantly because their life expectancy increases many times over as their level increases, and they soon stop noticing how the days fly by.

In the morning, Haldar always woke up as if by an alarm clock at 6 am. He woke up sitting at the table. He remembered that he only wanted to leaf through the books, but they turned out to be very difficult to understand.

"These mortal spear masters are real monsters, I didn't know it was possible."

Reading the first book, "The Heart of the Spear," Haldar was amazed by its content. Many spear techniques, reflections, thoughts of the master and his research. This book was a whole Heritage.

- Elder Banlak showed it to me for a reason

Having placed the book in his spatial ring, Haldar began to warm up, and then lay down on the bed to sleep a little more.

He slept peacefully until an hour later an envelope flew into his room.

Boom

Haldar jumped up and looked in shock at the envelope from which the letters flew out that formed a message.

Practical lesson
