The little fox’s words were not subtle at all; it was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of Brut’s departure to the western paradise and the leaderless state of the temple to pull Mizuno, the gifted priest family, into Florentine’s ranks.
Even if Mizuno’s priests were to choose the Sumr Palace warrior as their lifelong guardian, they wouldn’t leave the Red Earth Highland even if they didn’t want to join Florentine. Not gaining the priests but getting a few halo-covered super warriors wouldn’t be a loss.
This is where Fawkes’ cleverness lies.
"The Mizuno family has contributed to the kingdom," His Majesty the King smiled noncommittally. Of course, he caught the underlying aning of Helen’s words. From his perspective, this action couldn’t have been better.
The fourth movent of the "Spirit Communion Song" invented by Tevis is even more significant than the "Illusionary Battle Song" invented by Mihai, this new generation genius priest. The ergence of war pets completely fills the long-standing deficiency of Beamon priests needing close-range protection from followers.
Currently, eighty percent of Beamon priests can’t afford too many followers. It’s not because the priests lack influence but because resources and finances are far behind.
The food, clothing, living quarters, and weaponry of followers must be provided by priests. Taking four followers as a minimum: the equipnt for two heavily armored warriors alone requires over four hundred pounds of fine steel, which is nearly equal in value to silver. Adding a thief and an archer’s equipnt, not to ntion food and drink, the equipnt alone for four followers would cost priests several hundred gold coins!
Though Beamon priests are nobles with territories and mining villages, the poverty of the Beamon Kingdom is notorious. Priests unsupported by powerful families and large clans would not accept too many followers, as Beamon warriors have an insatiable appetite, and too many followers would bankrupt the priests.
Wild pets are different; these battle pets can be put into hibernation badges to sleep without eating or drinking for two to three months. Plus, the fourth movent "Spirit Communion Song" can summon a lifelong guardian knight. With these two strong lee fighters, even the poorest Beamon priests need not worry anymore about recruiting followers for protection.
With long-range double pets and lee wild pets, Beamon priests now have the hope of reaching Rexa’s number of battle pets in the future. Though the Silk Continent’s language is obscure and it’s not easy to popularize the fourth movent "Spirit Communion Song" quickly, the Beamon Kingdom now has a good relationship with the Tang Zang Empire, and at most, Fifth Highness can send a few ntors to specifically teach Beamon priests the Silk language!
"I just had a thought that startled myself. What if soday, our priests could be like Jose..." Sal couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "...whether magical pets, plant pets, or wild pets, all of them being twin battle pets, what a spectacular scene that would be?"
"Boss, plant pets aren’t likely to appear as twins, are they?" Liu Zhankang laughed himself to death. "Also, how can the combat power of a priest’s pet be solely judged by quantity? It’s not asured like that."
"I know what you’re saying makes sense, but this logic is for star priests like you to hear. For ordinary priests, the more magical pets, the greater the advantage! Plus, Mihai’s "Illusionary Battle Song" can develop beast affinity abilities, and soon our priests could have four pets. Just thinking about this number makes want to cry..." His Majesty the King, thinking about these endless good fortunes, felt his heart’s bitter sadness mostly fade away, "I’ve finally seen Beamon’s hope for growth and rise!"
"The show has just begun." Liu Zhankang was genuinely happy for the kingdom’s ergence of talents like Tevis and Mihai. He rembered lanting the quick generational replacent of human youth in the Southern Cross Star Forest, while Beamon seed to have a lack of successors. Now it seems his compassion was a bit laughable. As long as it’s a wisdom race, how could there be a lack of new blood erging!
Though these two priests didn’t co from Liu Zhankang’s team, his joy was from the heart. For this reason, he even rejected Helen’s suggestion quietly proposed earlier—he didn’t want to incorporate all the remaining high priests from the temple into the War God Sumr Palace’s ranks.
"With a catfish, sardines beco more vigorous." Liu Zhankang used an Aquatic Race Beamon saying to clarify his intention of maintaining the competitive and motivating "catfish effect." In his view, since the priest system is now divided into four, continuing to foster such factional mountainheadism where they compete might not necessarily be a bad thing.
The deeper aning of this statent made His Majesty the Beamon King doubt his ears.
To hear such words from the mouth of the country’s biggest military leader, academic leader, and financial leader, Richard Zhankang Liu, was truly surprising.
Parting for three days warrants new consideration.
After experiencing certain special impacts, the shallow, narrow-minded, and limited mountain king thought has gradually left Liu Zhankang’s mind. Apart from His Majesty the King’s exemplary teaching and subtle influence, there’s also the reason for his continuous improvent in personal qualities.
As Prince Richard and Brut, those forr political adversaries one by one sacrificed themselves for the country under Liu Zhankang’s watchful eyes, he suddenly realized how ridiculous and naive those past grievances and grudges were.
