Chapter 30 Defining Extraordinary
Dock area.

Xiao En swung the rod forward, and only put down the rod after seeing the float stabilize.

He's not really good at fishing.

After memorizing enough knowledge in the Library of Alexandria, he prepared to follow Daisy to the dock area for a walk and relax.

Unexpectedly, he met Hank Brandt, the investigator in charge of the market area. He was fishing to relax, and when he saw Sean, he enthusiastically invited him to fish with him.

"Are you here in Dorne on vacation?" Hank stared at the water intently.

He is a fisherman, an old hand.

Because he had a lot of catches from fishing, as Xiao En remembered, it was called a big catch. This was the happiest thing for a fisherman, so he was in a very good mood.

"Yeah." Xiao En nodded.

Hank's vacation should have started today. His mental state is much better than yesterday, and his tired and listless look has also dissipated a lot.

The fish float on the water moved.

Hank pulled the rod directly, and a small white scale about the width of a finger emerged. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he threw the fish back into the river.

He picked up the kettle and took a sip, then asked casually, "Where are you from?"

Xiao En was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Hank turned his head and looked at him and said, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

"I've been to many places on vacation before, but the most comfortable place is Horn Island. The beach there is very comfortable, you can sunbathe, and there are a lot of fish."

“The local residents are very welcoming and there are many interesting pubs.”

"hey-hey."

After saying this, Hank showed an expression that all men understand.

Xiao En smiled and nodded, showing a smile of agreement that all men understood.

Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.

Hank didn't ask anything else, but told Sean about the good places for investigators to go on vacation, and taught him how to reimburse expenses. There are many expenses that can be reimbursed with some tricks. In addition, Hank recommended him a legendary gold-spending cave, a salon club called "Roman Palace" in Dorne.

When talking about the Roman Palace, even the experienced Hank had an expression of endless aftertaste on his face.

Two men chatting while fishing.

Daisy squatted on the side, concentrating on fishing, her little ears pricked up.

Is this something a child can listen to?
Hank is actually a very talkative investigator, but the extraordinary people all have their own small circles and rarely communicate too much with outsiders. He always looks expressionless and indifferent when facing ordinary people.

In fact, very few investigators live to retirement.

The two of them had a very pleasant time together. Hank knew many interesting stories. Sean finally caught a small fish that looked a bit like a black carp, which Sean released directly.

While packing up, Hank casually asked, "Would you like to have dinner together?"

Xiao En smiled and shook his head, thanking him, "No. We have other plans tonight."

Hank didn't care. He lit a cigarette for himself and raised his hand to ask Sean if he wanted to smoke. Sean shook his head, and Hank squatted down to pack his things and said, "Diagon Alley in the dock area, about a hundred meters south from the fork in the road."

"There is a restaurant that sells delicious lemon grilled fish. You can go and try it when you have time."

Investigators have their own way of getting along with each other.

What they talk about most in daily life is how to restore rationality through normal means, which is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. They mainly rely on leisure and relaxation to keep their mood happy and slowly restore rationality.

In fact, every investigator is very secretive about the strange events they encounter in their work.

There are some things that you cannot tell your colleagues because it will cause them trouble.

On the pier steps.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Sean turned to look at Daisy beside him.

Daisy tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "I want to eat grilled fish."

Well.

Xiao En took her directly to Diagon Alley in the dock area. Sure enough, about a hundred meters south from the fork in the road, they saw an inconspicuous grilled fish restaurant.

The taste is very good.

After grilling the fish, they sprinkled it with a little lemon juice. It’s hard to describe the specific taste, but Sean ate the whole grilled fish plus some side dishes.

The cooking method is a little different from the local cuisine and it is said that the chef is from the Sharon area.

Legend has it that the cuisine there originated from the Halflings.

The final bill was 12 dinars and 6 ses for two people, which was not particularly expensive. They also gave us two extra drinks, which were freshly squeezed juices. They were much more delicious than the gorgeously decorated restaurant Sean visited last time.

Daisy enjoyed her meal. She loved fish, Sean observed.

The way back for the two of them was relatively quiet. The street lights in the dock area were turned off at 10:30, and in the city center at about 11:30. There wasn't much nightlife here at night, and generally there weren't many people on the street after 9 o'clock.

The big boy selling cigarettes was seen again at the small theater, but he didn't come over this time. He just nodded and greeted Xiao En.

He probably still remembered this respectable man who had made such a generous contribution.

Building 3, 12B.

After Daisy sent Sean to the entrance of the apartment, she waved and said, "See you tomorrow, Mr. Sean."

Xiao En smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, Miss Daisy."

Also.

The grilled cheese rolls she brought today were awful!
An exclamation mark is required.

When Xiao En returned to the room, the door opposite opened. A middle-aged man in a business suit appeared. He looked very elegant and greeted him in a friendly manner. Xiao En nodded in response.

This is a high-end apartment, and many employees rent rooms here.

Placing his coat on the hanger, Sean poured himself a cup of tea.

on the balcony.

Sean placed the recliner and put his legs on the railing. A glass of red wine, a pen, a notebook and a lighter were placed on the small round table next to him. Then he looked at the city of Dorne in the distance under the quiet night and slowly lost his mind.

After a while.

Sean slowly closed his eyes and began to understand and digest the knowledge he had recently remembered. Because Ms. Hecate had entered his dream, Sean's negative state seemed to have disappeared.

The orphan of Kirishima never appeared again.

But the butcher did not notify him to return to the weird country, and the holiday went on as scheduled.

Career sequence.

Sean must rediscover the extraordinary ways that define this world in his own way.

"There are such a group of weird monsters."

"The extraordinary relics they left behind after their death, after being successfully integrated and digested by humans, can allow extraordinary people to possess amazing strength, strong physiques, and beast-like fighting instincts. Therefore, the extraordinary sequence of the warrior path was born."

"For all extraordinary paths, the Weird Kingdom first has a corresponding extraordinary essence with specific powers, and then there is a systematic promotion sequence."

"Warriors are not real warriors, and wizards are not real wizards." (Compared to the professionals of the old times.)
"These promotion sequences are just tools to help people understand these strange and extraordinary powers, and to classify them into a career system that is easy for people to understand." (Finding an order system that humans can understand from chaos and disorder.)
“The order of this is very important.”

"Because there is no corresponding extraordinary essence, some promotion sequences cannot be further improved, and even gradually die out."

If it were a normal fantasy kingdom, warriors would not disappear, but in a grotesque kingdom, once this original extraordinary essence was cut off, the warrior profession sequence would no longer exist.

"When encountering this situation, the only option is to advance across sequences and paths."

"But the pollution would be more serious."

"If it's not a particularly unique and powerful extraordinary path, it's not worth the risk of losing control of the fusion promotion."

…………

"The power of sequence is already a subordinate concept."

"If mid- and low-sequence transcendents have such powerful abilities, then how strong are the high-sequence transcendents?"

"And... the Legend of Destiny!..."

“Once a transcendent has crossed the barrier of the fifth stage and set foot on the road of destiny, he is only qualified to enter the food chain of the weird kingdom.”

“What a hopeless country this is!”

On a small round table.

The notebook automatically turns to a page.

The pen hovered in the air and wrote a paragraph on the blank paper.

“A country of despair, a people of hope.

People here are well protected.”
