Chapter 35: Carving Knife, Who is it for?

As he was strolling leisurely along the way, a somewhat strange team came into Wang Lin's sight from afar, and he couldn't help but look up.

The line was very long, and basically everyone in the line was an adult with one child. There were also people with two or even three children.

There was a young man in a blue and white uniform at the side of the line, maintaining order. The line was well-organized and there was no one cutting in line.

At the front of the team, there were also three young men in blue and white uniforms. The young man on the far left was holding a small soul guide device, and the young man in the middle was holding a pen and paper and writing something down.

The remaining young man was holding a box of... uh... eggs?

While Wang Lin was observing the team, the adult standing at the front grabbed the child's hand and placed it on the small soul guide device, and the small soul guide device immediately lit up with a faint light.

brush!
An ordinary sickle shadow appeared above the small soul guide device. The young man holding the small soul guide device shook his head at the adult in front.

Although the adult had his back to Wang Lin, Wang Lin could feel that the moment the young man shook his head, the adult's back became noticeably hunched.

At this moment, the young man holding the egg handed over the egg. The adult took the egg and left the team with his child.

"Master, are you awakening your martial spirit?" Wang Lin asked in surprise, looking at the team.

"It's awakening the martial soul. The process of giving gifts for awakening the martial soul is a process that the Sun-Moon Empire has only come up with in the past two years. It is to increase the enthusiasm of civilians to awaken their martial souls."

Long Xiaoyao nodded, not surprised.

"The Sun-Moon Empire actually awakens martial spirits for civilians and gives them eggs as gifts?"

Wang Lin was really surprised by this. Having lived in Xingluo City for such a long time, he also knew the character of these empires.

Take the nobles of Xingluo for example. Asking them to help the common people awaken their martial spirits is out of the question. Not to mention giving them eggs, they have to pay for the common people to awaken their martial spirits.

One gold soul coin per time, whether love awakens or not, sometimes there will even be blackmail.

"Awakening martial spirits for civilians has long been a common practice in the Sun-Moon Empire." Long Xiaoyao explained.

"The soul guide system is different from the soul master system. It doesn't care about the quality of the martial soul or the level of innate soul power. As long as you have soul power, you can use soul guides.

In the Sun-Moon Empire, as long as soul power appears when the martial soul awakens, no matter whether the martial soul is good or bad, it will be trained free of charge by the country. It is said that the Sun-Moon Empire also provides secret medicines for cultivation.

The Sun-Moon Empire also relies on these low-level soul mentors who come from the civilian population to compete with the three empires that originally belonged to the continent."

Wang Lin listened and couldn't help but feel a little confused. From this perspective, the Sun-Moon Empire is far superior to the three major empires.

Without the Spirit Hall, common people are nothing in the eyes of the nobles. And you still want the nobles to awaken the spirits for common people for free?

Only one gold soul coin is charged for awakening martial souls each time, which shows that the nobles still have a conscience.

No wonder the Sun-Moon Empire was able to win the war against the three empires with unstoppable force in the later period, almost crushing them.

If it weren't for a certain shameless god interfering in the lower world, the unification of the continent by the Sun-Moon Empire would have been inevitable.

If civilians were given a choice between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three great empires, anyone with a normal mind would definitely choose the Sun-Moon Empire where they still have channels for upward mobility.

The development of soul guides not only provides soul masters with another viable path, but also opens up a broader channel for civilians to rise from the original channels.

This is also the fundamental reason why the three major empires originally opposed soul guides.

After all, even if a commoner becomes a soul master, his life will be limited by his martial soul.

But it is different for soul engineers. This profession is not limited by martial souls, and the use of soul guides is not limited by cultivation. As long as there is soul power, it can be used.

How could the nobles not be afraid of a soul master, or a great soul master, who could rely on soul guides to fight against soul masters or even soul lords?
Wang Lin, who once lived in modern society, although he was also a noble in this life, had never had any good feelings towards the feudal aristocracy and cannibalistic system of the Xingluo Empire.

Although the specific situation of the Sun-Moon Empire is still unclear, if the Sun-Moon Empire unifies the continent, it will not discriminate against the civilians of the three empires. The attitude towards the civilians of the three empires is the same as that of the country, and there is no need to send eggs, but to awaken the civilians for free.

This is a good thing for civilians on the mainland.

At this moment, Wang Lin finally understood why the pedestrians in Mingdu were more energetic, because there was still hope for their future.

Even if you are not talented, the government will provide you with free training.

The civilian soul masters of the other three empires finally cultivated to level ten, but most of them died on the way to obtain their first soul ring.

Not everyone has the same luck as Huo Yuhao. The high status of soul masters has never been enjoyed by ordinary soul masters.

"Let's go, stop looking, Xiao Linzi." Seeing Wang Lin staring at the team not far away in a daze, Long Xiaoyao reached out and patted Wang Lin on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Wang Lin came back to his senses and stopped thinking about it. The old man and the young man continued to stroll on the street.

After walking a few more streets, I finally saw a shop selling hammers.

"What do you want to buy, bro?"

As soon as Wang Lin stepped into the store, a middle-aged man dressed as a boss came up to him.

"Forging hammer."

Wang Lin answered, and under the guidance of the boss, he went directly to the shelf with forging hammers in the store.

Seeing that the most expensive forging hammer was no more than ten gold soul coins, and with Zhang Peng's previous funding, Wang Lin of course chose the most expensive one.

Take the hammer, pay the money, and it's done in one go.

After purchasing the forging hammer, Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao walked around the city and found that there was more than one place to awaken the martial spirit, with an average of one place every five streets.

After seeing enough of the cultural landscape of Mingdu, the old man and the young man found a small restaurant on the street and had lunch.

After lunch, Wang Lin no longer had the heart to continue wandering around the city. He wanted to go back and look at the student rules and the textbooks for the basic theory course of soul mentors that he had just received in the morning.

Although Lin Jiayi allowed him to pass the exam for this course directly, he still had to take a look at it and get some understanding of it.

Therefore, the old man and the young man also changed direction and moved towards the street where the courtyard was located.

Passing by a relatively deserted street on the way, Long Xiaoyao suddenly took out a pure white rectangular jade box from his arms and placed it in Wang Lin's hand.

"Here, take it."

As soon as the jade box was in his hand, a chill spread to Wang Lin's palm. He was stunned for a moment, "What is this?"

"It's a carving knife. I'll keep it here for you first. It's not time to give it away yet."

Long Xiaoyao opened his mouth and answered.

"Who is this knife for?"

As Wang Lin spoke, he opened the jade box in his hand. Long Xiaoyao beside him just watched and did not stop him.

brush!
As the jade box was opened, an icy chill immediately spread out from the jade box, and an ice-white, graceful carving knife lay in the middle of the jade box.

"It's for a little girl who is one year older than you." Long Xiaoyao said.
