"Ah..." A chorus of sighs filled with disappointnt echoed through the crowd.
"But rest assured, everyone, I will make proper arrangents for you all." Anna imdiately took off the Regeneration Necklace from her neck and handed it to Marina beside her, saying, "High Priestess, the regeneration of the severed limbs shall be entrusted to you."
"This is truly too precious." Marina waved her hands repeatedly.
She deeply understood the value of such magic equipnt, starting at no less than a hundred thousand Gold Coins.
Unlike the hundred thousand gold bars Anna donated last night, which were for all those in suffering, this belonged to personal equipnt.
Anna said solemnly, "This is not for the High Priestess, but for those in need of help. Moreover, it cos with a condition: all those whose severed limbs are regenerated through this must sign a limb-severance contract with the City of Faith to repay the regeneration debt.
Soti in the future, once the High Priestess has mastered the Regeneration Technique, I hope it can be passed on to more kind-hearted hands who need it."
To give such expensive equipnt away was, of course, not sothing Anna could decide but was orchestrated by Gaven behind the scenes to have her do so.
He saw an opportunity to gather more limb-severers for the City of Faith through this.
Compared to the effects of self-promotion and sending people out, what could be more convenient than cooperating with local healing priests with outstanding reputation like Marina?
Especially for Transcendent Priests like Marina, who occupy a middle ground in professional level; the Regeneration Gems have the greatest effect in their hands, even effectively boosting the speed of their professional level advancent.
It’s a classic example of mutual benefit.
As for whether they would fulfill the contract.
Gaven was not worried in the slightest.
They worshiped a lawful and good True God, and a Transcendent Priest is a role model of piety, their mindset highly assimilated with their True God, viewing helping those in suffering as their life’s mission.
This kind of faith constraint is more effective than anything else.
Moreover, Gaven had great confidence in the City of Faith; those who signed the limb-severance contract would enjoy better treatnt there than the contract stated— as it was a rapidly developing place.
He could even use this as an opportunity to hold a God of Tears’ sermon or dical exchange conference in the City of Faith, to attract more believers in the God of Suffering, and take the chance to form cooperative relationships with more of the God of Tears’ priests.
This will be decided after considering the effects from Marina’s side.
Having said this much, and with a dozen limb-severers looking at her eagerly, High Priestess Marina could no longer refuse and had to accept it solemnly, promising, "I will certainly not fail Anna’s trust."
"Little Anna is still the Anna we know, as kind and compassionate as ever."
"Thank you, Little Anna, thank you, High Priestess. May the Gods bless you both."
"It is by the rcy of the Gods that little Anna, an angel, was sent to us."
The villagers of Green Nest Town praised Anna and Marina with heartfelt admiration.
Amidst this praise, Anna and her companions were enveloped in a Transmission Magic Light, embarking on their journey to Battle Valley.
Gaven did not follow Anna and her companions back to Battle Valley but set out directly to return to The Eastern Desolation.
Once they returned to Battle Valley, there would be countless people to handle the Brown Family’s affairs. He wouldn’t need to make an appearance; never underestimate the influence and rallying power of any strong healing priest, especially one who is kind and helpful.
Anna’s prestige in Battle Valley was extrely high, ranking among the top three, second only to Lord Gaven and Chancellor Veranika.
Gaven granted Anna a five-day leave to settle her family and to take High Priestess Marina and Mayor Dehava on a tour of Battle Valley and the City of Faith.
Anna had already proven with her actions that although she still retained her kindness, she now had her own boundaries, understanding the importance of prioritizing the territory’s interests.
This is not contradictory to her original beliefs; only with a prosperous territory can there be ample financial and material resources to support more good deeds.
It would be foolish and short-sighted to undermine the territory’s foundation due to excessive compassion.
Anna was kind, but not foolish.
Returning to the Far East Territory, Gaven set about resolving a key issue directly affecting the entire territory’s agricultural developnt— the frequent ravaging tornadoes.
"These natural phenona have started occurring in the last two centuries, reaching a peak in the last fifty years.
This is not naturally ford but is a side effect of the Kingdom of Ser’s extensive use of magic to transform the Ser Plateau.
The imbalanced elents periodically sweep from the Ser Plateau, forming the tornadoes that ravage Ashanas."
Explaining this to Gaven was the Wind Spirit Witch, the most adept at manipulating the Wind Elent among the Haslan Witches.
These witches have been entrenched here for over a thousand years and have extensive knowledge of the local conditions.
Consulting them on these frequent and unnatural tornadoes was precisely a professional match.
The answer given by the Wind Spirit Witch was unexpected yet made perfect sense.
It wasn’t due to the enmity between the Laiserman Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ser, where bla could be conveniently laid on those evil Red Robe Mages.
Rather, in the world of magic, there already existed similar theories, which were endorsed by the Magic Goddess.
Magic is caused by elental instability.
If the elents were super stable and ceased to flow easily, it would be a Magic-Free Zone, where magic simply would not exist.
When the elents are unstable, magic begins to appear.
Depending on the degree of elental instability, there are low magic areas, high-level magic areas, and wild magic zones.
In other words, higher elental activity is not necessarily better. Once it exceeds a certain threshold, the difficulty in control will greatly increase, thereby causing casting chaos.
When a region begins large-scale use of magic, it ans disrupting the elental balance, leading to the frequent occurrence of various magic disasters.
