Watching Knight Connor’s body shaking with shock, Su Li furrowed his brow suspiciously.
What could be more precious than Vibranium Rune Armor?
But Su Li didn’t have to wait long before the secret was revealed.
Connor, escorted by a whole squad of Red Night Knights, returned holding a golden treasure box no larger than a dressing box.
Such a small thing, seemingly out of place with the rugged attributes of a knight, left Su Li wondering what could be inside that made all the knights so cautious.
Bauhinia Earl personally handed the treasure box to Su Li and said, "Open it and see; it’s a divine object capable of changing the fate of a power or the course of a war."
Such a powerful effect? Isn’t that like a strategic treasure?
He carefully opened the lid, revealing a palm-sized transparent talisman inside, crafted so exquisitely that it seed beyond the current technology of humans, dwarves, or even elves.
Because its shape was entirely that of a griffin spreading its wings to fly, its wings extended, feathers under the wings moving naturally as if by the wind, occasionally with teor-like glows flickering around it, looking almost alive.
Su Li raised his head in astonishnt, looking at his father, and asked, "What is this?"
"The Holy Relic of Glory! That’s what we knights call it; the beastn call it the Shiny Weapon, and vampires call it the Ancestral Blood Artifact. But regardless of the na, all races acknowledge one fact, this is a divine treasure bestowed upon us by the gods. When you please the divine spirit you serve, whether through an epic victory on the battlefield or a rich offering in ritual, you might be rewarded with such divine treasures."
"So rember, as a lord, you can delegate everything to your subordinates, but not the rituals and warfare!"
Su Li was truly astounded, not expecting to see this theory even in an otherworld, that the great affairs of state are in rituals and warfare.
This world has divine spirits, Su Li had always been aware of this fact.
Even knights had deities they believed in; the most famous gods Su Li had heard of included the Sun Goddess Violet, the Wolf God, and the Winter God Yurik. They all had nurous followers, and there were corresponding knight orders guarding their divine halls.
For example, the Sun Goddess Violet had the famous Fla Sun Knight Order; this deity encouraged worshippers to delve into the art of war and put it into practice. Her teachings required followers to achieve perfection in combat and also focus on their noble identity, strategic depth, and political and theoretical talents.
Thus, the Fla Sun Knight Order is very perfection-driven, with many mbers traveling far and wide, honing their abilities through contests and surveys, and by learning from various places, perfecting their own strategies. It can be said that every mber of the Fla Sun Knight Order has substantial knowledge in leadership, strategy, and martial arts, enabling them to erge victorious in the face of enemies.
On the other hand, the White Wolf God Yurik is quite the opposite, with a wolf skin cloak and dense fur as his and his followers’ iconic appearance. This god admired the courage and wildness of his followers, even encouraging them to fight in the most bloodthirsty and savage manner. Any powerful knight capable of smashing through a strong enemy might receive the blessing of the Wolf God. Therefore, he has the largest knight order in the Empire, with these knights wearing unique wolf skins on their shoulders, riding into battle without shields or helts, flaunting their long hair and beautiful braided beards. When they charge into battle, these knights roar out barbaric prayers to their Wolf God Yurik, with loud howls that cause many enemies to scatter and flee before engagent.
Su Li used to not understand why these knights had such a steadfast belief in a deity; now it seed not believing in gods was strange. It only showed how little he understood about this world before.
He quickly asked, "What does this Holy Relic of Glory do?"
"This Holy Relic of Glory is called the Phoenix Wing Talisman. When you carry it with you, it alters the wind’s direction, significantly boosting your army’s marching speed while dramatically reducing physical exhaustion, raising the daily march from 100 li to about 125 li with ease."
"Additionally, it has a powerful activation effect. In a fierce battlefield, you can activate it using Bloodline Power, causing a gust in the enemy’s direction, with flying sand and rocks blinding them. However, this effect can only be used once a month, and after use, its basic acceleration effect will be lost, so you must use it carefully."
Su Li took a deep breath imdiately; what a terrifying effect!
The base effect boosts march speed by 25%, and upon activation, you beco the destined child of the skies! Fortune falls upon you! An enhanced version of the Great Magic Master Liu Xiu in terms of situational advantage!
As far as Su Li knew, many legendary battles and major battles in historic records were altered by a gust, changing the course of wars and even affecting dynastic fortunes. For instance, during the twilight battle showcasing the great Han national pride in the Northern Desert, a sudden wind arose, dust covering the skies, rendering the two armies unseen. Taking advantage, Great General Wei Qing ordered a swift infantry advance, enveloping the Xiongnu main forces from both wings, leading to their demise with the Chanyu breaking out with only a few hundred cavalry, and leaving nearly a hundred thousand Xiongnu annihilated with over seventy thousand captured by the Han Army.
In this world, all of this can actually be controlled!
Exchanging a set of Vibranium Rune Armor for this Holy Relic of Glory is an absolute fortune for Su Li!
Subsequently, Bauhinia Earl gazed at Su Li with glowing eyes, "Our family’s eagle, it’s ti to spread its wings like this talisman and soar high."
Su Li imdiately bowed to Bauhinia Earl, saying, "Father, I will definitely make the Bauhinia family banner fly high in the wider skies."
"Very well, go prepare. With the hawk spreading its wings, I look forward to hearing your epic tales from the Border Prince’s Territory at Bauhinia Castle."
"Father, take care of your health as well; may you stay healthy. I will set out with the troops this afternoon and will not return to bid farewell."
"Mm, go on then."
Leaving the Bauhinia Earl’s study, Su Li exhaled deeply, putting away the Phoenix Wing Talisman. With this Holy Relic of Glory, his endeavors in the Pioneer Territory would be even more successful.
This magical item has opened a new door for him in this world. Perhaps with the help of the Daily Intelligence system, he could acquire more Holy Relics of Glory, allowing the developnt of the Pioneer Territory to soar even if he were to lay back and enjoy.
Thinking of this, he felt particularly joyful, humming a tune as he contentedly left the Earl’s castle.
His joyful deanor caused the castle to boil over.
If he had been serious, with clenched fists and an unyielding light in his eyes, others might have thought he was indomitable, possibly suspecting that Knight Oerstein was detained by Bauhinia Earl.
But he erged with a relaxed and joyful expression, arms behind his neck, whistling, leading everyone to imdiately conclude that Knight Oerstein was definitely not detained. That ant the probability of Young Master Suli succeeding in the Pioneer Territory skyrocketed!
A large number of knights and attendants imdiately surged forward, surrounding Su Li: "Young Master Su Li, I request to join your team, please take in!"
"Young Master Su Li, how can I join your team? I’m willing to undergo assessnt, I just ask you to give a chance!"
"Make way, make way, I’m a formal knight, Young Master Su Li, please take a look at !"
...
Su Li felt himself being engulfed by a powerful tide, countless people excitedly pulling at him, knights, attendants, everyone went crazy, surrounding him so tightly he stumbled left and right, dizzy and disoriented.
Are you all crazy! I just want to lay back and enjoy, what do you want?
In the chaos, Su Li couldn’t help but laugh, recalling a fitting joke.
Don’t force to leave my hotown, or the entire village will have no water to drink!
But no matter which kind of departure he’s chasing, these people following Su Li have already gone completely red-eyed.
