The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 74: My five months in the academy (3)

In these five months, things are going very well, at least on the surface. Things would not be fine if I pulled out the cover. There are many undercurrents happening that could be a problem for me in the future.

When I obtained the Cosmic Market, I saw that the worlds that were connected were not just medieval magical worlds but also advanced ones. The only prerequisite is that the world is based on magic.

Don't think about Ragos as an advanced world. Though there are many modern facilities like on Earth, there is a lot missing here. It can be only said that this world is better than the medieval world, where there are mobiles, the Internet, etc...

Magic is something...how shall I put this... magical. Anything can be achieved through this but there are many avenues that were not even touched. They might touched such avenues in the past but lost in the subsequent wars.

It happens. This was not unique to this world but to all worlds. Wars destroy knowledge. The knowledge that was gained by working for centuries.

The knowledge that was gained through hard work would disappear when a war breaks. Of course, it was not easy to make that happen. To make such a thing happen, the war has to be a huge war that consumes countries and races.

On Earth, these types of wars happen. Though not always huge, there would be many barbarians who would rather destroy and plunder, rather than create. There was much knowledge that was lost on an insignificant planet like Earth, which has a very small history cycle.

Ragos on the other hand, has a history that goes back thousands of years. Many civilizations rose and fell in this world. Though all the knowledge was not preserved, from time to time there would be someone who unearths the ancient knowledge that was lost ages ago.

Most of the time, the knowledge would be incomplete but even incomplete knowledge from ancient times was said to be much more profound than the present knowledge.

If others had found that he obtained such knowledge, they would have taken it from him without paying a single coin but when he returned from that ruin he was not the same Jonas that everyone knew.

His talent was considered average. It was estimated that he would only reach Tier-5 at best by the end of his time but when he came of the ruin, he was already Tier-5. From then onwards he progressed faster than his peers.

This trend continued till he reached Tier-8. Once he reached that rank, his progress slowed down.

He only showed that he has the knowledge after he reached Tier-7. After Tier-7, it was not easy to kill each other, if the other party wanted to run away.

If they do something to the family of the escaped one, then there would be nothing holding them down. One day they would definitely return to seek revenge and would burn everything that they built.

So normally, the families of Tier-7 and above aren't touched unless that person is killed first. Until then the family would be just suppressed and controlled, so that they a have bargaining chip, if the escaped Tier-7 or above one has exceeded their strength.

This was why I decided to show my true talents only after reaching Tier-7. I won't put out everything but from that point, I don't need to hide myself much. I can easily defeat or defend myself at that point.

I would openly show some power but would keep some trump cards for myself. No matter what rank you achieve, some trump cards are always necessary.

Wait, where did I go?

Sorry, I was saying that...
