Chapter 115 The Cultivation Method of a Full-Powered Hero!

Louis finally understood where the secret manuals of heroes left behind after the passing of past heroes went.

The human kingdoms have a long history, and logically, with generations of heroes passing down their secrets, the five kingdoms should possess many heroic manuals.

But the result was that even a princess like Erisil couldn't get the Hero's Manual from the kingdom's treasury; she had to eliminate her fellow heroes.

It seems that all those old hero manuals have already been used as materials for new heroes or level four professionals to become stronger.

After a moment's thought, Louis asked a crucial question: "Lord Ignis, may I ask how many Heroic Codexes a Hero or a Level 4 professional can absorb?"

The bald archmage assumed Louis was just enjoying stories and casually said, "As far as I know, you can absorb at least four, but there are requirements regarding the level of the secret manual."

"Let's take a level four professional as an example. Theoretically, they can absorb a maximum of four Heroic Codexes, and these four codes must be Heroic Codexes of levels one to four. They can't absorb more than that."

"After absorbing the four Hero's Secret Manuals, the probability of a Level 4 professional breaking through to demigod can increase by 20% compared to normal circumstances."

Louis's lips twitched slightly.

During this time, he had read many stories of heroes. Even the heroes who went down in history, the vast majority of them only reached level four, and very few could become demigods.

In other words, the four Hero's Secret Manuals, from Level 1 to Level 4, represent the culmination of a hero's entire life's work.

Is it possible that exhausting the legacy of a hero can only increase the breakthrough probability of a level 4 professional by 20%?

It seems that becoming a demigod is extremely difficult.

If you can't break through, then these four secret manuals will have been wasted.

How many heroes can emerge in an era? On average, there might not be one in a hundred years, while there are consistently dozens or even hundreds of Level 4 professionals.

There are too many monks and not enough porridge; it's simply not enough to go around.

"Speaking of the consumption of the Hero's Codex, the heroes themselves are actually the most extravagant, because theoretically, there is no limit to the amount of codex they can absorb."

Ignis's words immediately captivated Louis's attention.

Unlimited?

Then the bald archmage spoke eloquently: "Let's take Princess Erisil as an example. If she can collect nine level 1 Hero's Codexes, then she can steadily push the upper limit of her magic adaptability and eight other ability values ​​to 30 points."

"At this point, the Level 1 Hero's Codex has no effect on her, but the Level 2 Codex is still effective."

"For each level two secret manual she fuses, the maximum value of one of her random abilities can increase by 5 points from the base value of 30."

"After acquiring nine level-two secret manuals, if she obtains nine level-three secret manuals, the upper limit of each of her abilities will increase by another three points."

"Nine level four secret manuals will increase all her ability values ​​by two points."

"In other words, after digesting the thirty-six Hero's Codexes, even if she is only a level 1 professional, her maximum attributes will reach the level of a level 3 professional, and with each job change, her maximum attributes will increase by another 10 points."

"Once she becomes a Level 4 professional, she can rival a true god in some aspects and do incredible things."

"As for what changes will occur after fusing with the Hero's Codex of Demigod and True God levels, I have no idea."

"But what is certain is that a hero can indeed fuse the secrets of demigods and true gods."

Louis nodded in astonishment.

The hero's upgrade system is just too unfair —

Even without considering the divine-level secret manuals, it would take a full thirty-six hero manuals to cultivate a super fully-equipped hero.

This heroine will undoubtedly be invincible in her time, but if she fails to become a god, she will only have a hundred years or so to live.

With the hero's death, only four of the secret manuals he left behind remained.

The round trip cost a whopping thirty-two Hero's Manuals. Who could afford to support that?

Whether to increase the probability of nine level-four professionals reaching demigod status, or to grant a hero the power to slay gods and demons, is indeed a question worth considering.

No wonder the Secret Tome of the Heroine Molly couldn't be pre-selected for Erisil, but was given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Perhaps in the long history of mankind, at some point, in order to fight against a powerful enemy, the kingdoms joined forces to raise a fully-equipped hero.

The enemy may be defeated, but the invincible hero of the era may not necessarily obey.

A hero with 70 points in all attributes is truly terrifying.

It's important to know that the quality of magic and the increase in attribute points improve continuously as the numbers increase.

Later on, the difference between 50 points of strength and 51 points of strength may seem like just a small difference, but in reality, it's a world of difference, not to mention the overwhelming lead of 20 points in all attributes.

Even a fully-equipped hero who has grown to their complete form might not be able to defeat a legendary true god, but it shouldn't be difficult to bring down a demigod.

Put yourself in their shoes; if Louis were a royal from any human nation, just thinking about it would send chills down your spine.

Alas, it's hard to be a hero; one must guard against assassinations from both foreign enemies and one's own people.

Becoming a fully-equipped hero is even more difficult; not only do you need to collect thirty-six different levels of hero's secret manuals, but you also have to endure the fear and apprehension of various factions.

It's obvious that even a so-called true god wouldn't stand idly by and allow a fully-equipped hero to reach demigod status; otherwise, wouldn't the hero's base stats surpass those of a true god?

Louis sighed inwardly.

He speculated that royal families in various countries might not lack even a single "Hero's Manual," but simply keep it hidden away.

They would never allow any extra Hero's Manuals to fall into the hands of a new hero unless absolutely necessary.

After a long while, Louis shook his head, suppressing all sorts of thoughts.

These things have nothing to do with him, who can't even get his hands on a Hero's Manual.

He changed the subject, saying, "Lord Ignis, you said that it would take about three days for a level four professional to arrive. Does that mean that before then, there's no one who can cure Molly?"

The bald archmage shook his head and said, "There's no other way but to let Captain Lorenzo and the other level-three professionals hold on."

"With the experience from the previous three times, he should be able to command the city's defenses well and prevent irreparable damage."

Lorenzo is the name of the Black Rock Legion Commander, a powerful warrior with a Level 3, 5-star rating, the same as Colin's rating during his lifetime.

Judging from the rating alone, this is a rare profession, but Louis doesn't know which rare class of warrior he is.

The person Louis and his group just visited was this commander.

This is definitely a figure even more powerful than Sir Carenno.

Louis nodded solemnly, feeling a sense of relief.

As long as we can hold on, that's fine.

If Ignis's serious injury leaves Blackrock City without anyone to lead it, Louis will have to consider packing his things and leaving.

After chatting with Ignis for a while, Louis and his teammates prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But at that moment, Colin, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "You guys stay behind, I have something to tell you."
