The sigh in Olivia's voice almost escaped.
“I don’t have anything like that, so that’s where I’ll have to stop.”
"Are you saying that becoming a legend requires such a fate?"
Philomena stared at Olivia with an almost ridiculous look.
She didn't expect Olivia to believe this.
Indeed, there is a saying among professionals that legends become legends because they themselves have the destiny to become legends.
But to Philomena, this was ridiculous and a denial of those who had become legends.
Chapter 98: As Easy as Drinking Water
"Quite the opposite."
Olivia shook her head.
"If you want to become a legend, the most important thing is to transcend your own destiny."
"Are you serious?"
Philomena does not deny the existence of fate, because prophecy and astrology also exist on the continent of Enderol, and their accuracy is quite high.
But Philomena only knew of its existence, rather than fully believing in fate.
"Yes, that's the mentality I need from you. You have a better chance of becoming a legend than me."
The smile on Olivia's face was full of bitterness.
"I have a fear of becoming a legend, do you understand, Philomena?"
"I can see it now."
Philomena was silent for a moment before she spoke.
"why?"
"Like I said earlier, to become a legend you have to transcend your own destiny."
Olivia's voice got deeper and deeper.
"This also means that after becoming a legend, fate can no longer affect you."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Philomena didn't understand why Olivia was so afraid of this.
"You don't understand, Philomena."
Olivia was swaying, with a hint of drunkenness in her slightly narrowed eyes that shouldn't be there.
"If those with destiny are ordinary people who can only walk on a prescribed path, then legends are travelers who move freely and without restraint."
Olivia looked at Philomena.
“When you break free from the shackles of fate, it also means that you lose the protection of fate.”
"So what? Are you afraid? Afraid of losing the protection of fate?!"
Philomena and Olivia looked at each other.
If Olivia dared to say that this was what she was afraid of, then she would wake Olivia up.
"No, I just don't want to lose my identity."
Olivia's words stunned Philomena, and then a helpless expression appeared on her face.
"I remember when I said I wanted to become a Grand Duke, you said I was too rigid and that becoming a Grand Duke was a waste of time. Didn't you do the same? You held on to this excuse for so many years and didn't let go. You're just like a child."
When she first became the Grand Duke of the Duchy, Olivia lectured her, but now she is actually in the same situation herself.
“Time has taken away so many things. What I have left is not much anymore.”
Olivia drank the wine in her glass dejectedly.
“There are some things I really can’t let go of.”
Becoming a legend, let’s not talk about whether she can really do it.
If she did it, it would mean she would say goodbye to her current identity and everything that was left of her.
Olivia couldn't do it.
So she would rather say that she is not talented enough than to set out to become a legend.
It's not necessary or needed.
"You..."
Philomena finally understood what Olivia was thinking, but she didn't have any good solution.
After all, people always have some obsessions.
Especially someone like Olivia who has lived a little longer.
Olivia was just afraid of losing again.
"If she were here, maybe she could convince you, but I can't, so I won't say anything."
Philomena stretched and walked towards the door.
"My disciple may come to visit you in a while, so you must receive her well."
After saying this, Philomena turned into a stream of light and left through the crack in the door.
"..."
Olivia didn't say anything, but took another bottle of strong liquor from under the counter, opened it and poured it into the glass.
Although Olivia cannot get drunk due to her physical condition, if a person wants to get drunk, they can get drunk just like water.
So the next day, when Xi Ruiya woke up the earliest, she saw Olivia sleeping soundly on the table with wine bottles all around her.
Lisha and the others woke up very late, since they didn't come back until late at night the day before.
During the next six days, everyone had a great time.
Even Shirilla and Freya picked a day, made some disguises, and left Dragon's Breath to play for the entire day.
When the freshman week was over, White Rock Town returned to its previous atmosphere.
However, due to the heavy spending during the freshman week, many adventurers were short of money, so there were suddenly a lot more adventurers taking on missions.
Of course, Lisha and the other three also started to accept missions and commissions.
However, most of the second-level and third-level quests are difficult for Lisha and her friends to obtain. After all, quests suitable for the fine steel level can be said to be the most sought-after quests in the White Tower area.
The second level down is a semi-novice task, while the fourth level up is a task for silver-level elites.
It can be said that the third-level tasks are the most cost-effective tasks, especially for those teams whose entire team is Steel-level or Silver-level with Steel-level or Hematite-level teammates. It is a task that earns a lot but has little risk.
However, Lisha and the other three didn't really care whether they could get the third-level mission.
At this stage, they are mainly training themselves and developing tacit understanding.
The previous week of demonic disaster had already allowed Lisha and the other three to develop a preliminary understanding of each other, and now these tedious low-level tasks would further deepen their understanding of each other.
However, only half a month later, Lisha temporarily stopped her adventuring activities.
Because she is going to be promoted to the silver level.
Because of the loss of the front row and the person with the highest combat power in the team, the entire adventure team temporarily stopped its activities.
Ai Lan stayed in Dragon's Breath and became a cashier at the front desk.
Meililu became a temporary clerk in Bestie's store.
Before, when Xi Ruiya's plan was implemented, Bestie's store became a very profitable store, making a lot of money during the freshman week. Now Bestie attaches great importance to Xi Ruiya's words, almost to the point of obedience.
However, this also caused a lot of jealous people. Although these people would not take any overt actions due to Olivia's reputation, their small actions in secret were also very annoying.
Meililu's temporary presence was a warning to those guys that it was enough.
Elsa has been practicing hard. The precise breathing method is indeed a powerful breathing method, and it is also a breathing method that suits Elsa's physique very well. Now Elsa's improvement speed is much faster than before.
As for Lisha, when everyone else thought that Lisha was working hard to break through the bottleneck and advance to the silver level, in fact, Lisha was just staying in the room to speed up the furnace breathing method, eating, drinking, and chatting with Youze.
Lisha does not have any bottleneck. Lisha who has the system will not have any bottleneck except for the awakening ceremony of the golden level and achieving legendary status. As long as she has enough strength, she can be promoted smoothly.
Three days passed like this, and when Lisha appeared in front of everyone again, she had already become a silver-level professional.
Chapter 99: The Beginning of Extraordinariness
Several people who were originally gathered together to chat were all surprised when they saw Lisha coming out of the room - except Elsa, because Elsa knew that Lisha would definitely be able to break through. She had heard Lisha say before that except for the gold level and legendary level, she had no bottlenecks and obstacles.
"He actually broke through to the Silver Rank?"
Merilulu bent down and looked at Lisha carefully.
"Of course!~ Isn't it easy for me to get the Silver Rank?~"
Lisha put her hands on her hips proudly, looking like she was super awesome.
“Lisha is amazing!~”
Ai Lan pinched her sleeves with her little hands, looking very envious.
She also wanted to become a talented professional like Lisha.
Unfortunately, even though her improvement speed is still quite fast now, it is only because of the characteristics of the elves, not because of her talent.
There have always been a large number of silver-level professionals among the elves and dwarves. Even though their population is far less than that of humans and orcs, the proportion of silver-level professionals in their population is much higher than that of humans and orcs.
But this is not because there are really many geniuses among the elves and dwarves, but because of the elves' strong affinity for magic and the dwarves' naturally strong bodies.
And the most important point is life span.
If humans want to break through to the Silver Rank, it is best to do so before the age of forty. Once they are over forty, even for professionals at the Fine Steel Rank, their physical fitness will not decline, but it will be difficult to improve.
Even if one breaks through to the silver level, if one is just entering the silver level, then the lifespan will not be greatly improved, at most the strength will become much stronger.
But it is different for elves and dwarves. Their lifespan is several times longer than that of humans and their long youth allows them to gradually grind to the silver level even with the increase of age. After that, they can take one or two hundred years or even more to reach the peak of the silver level.
But humans can't do that.
Many human professionals who have some talent but not enough talent may not be able to reach the peak of the silver level until they die of old age, let alone touch the threshold of the gold level.
Ai Lan has also seen many of his fellow elves in the kingdom of elves who have no motivation to practice at all. They just improve themselves step by step every day. Anyway, with the elves' affinity for magic, as long as they don't have super strong talents or extremely poor talents, it doesn't matter whether they work hard or not.
Those elves who wanted to become stronger left their hometowns and came to the White Tower, so Ailan finally chose to leave her hometown and come to the White Tower. She also wanted to become stronger, so that those who ignored her could no longer ignore her existence.
And she also has a small wish in her heart, which is to find clues about her parents.
Although the hope is slim, she still holds a glimmer of hope.
But Ai Lan didn't know that not long ago, she received a gift from her "parents".
"Ai Lan is not bad either. You have already broken through to the Fine Steel Stage."
Lisha also heard it from Yuze.
After all, the system has a team-building module, so Lisha will be the first to know who has upgraded their level.
"So Ailan was promoted as well?"
Ilsa looked back at Alan, a little surprised.
She didn't know about this because Ai Lan didn't tell anyone.
"I was promoted not long ago."
Ai Lan scratched her cheek with her fingers shyly.
"It seems that we really need to have a big meal to celebrate!"
Lisha said while patting Alan's shoulder with a smile.
"If you want to eat, just tell me."
Ilsa didn't object. After completing many mission commissions, her team had saved some money. Although it was more difficult to buy rare equipment, daily expenses were no problem. Even for a super eater like Lisha, the team could afford it.
"It's mainly because I've been eating less recently, so..."
