Li Yu returned to Bratis and tried out his new abilities.
He summoned the Commander Onund and Deputy Commander Jude of the Black Hound Guard and blessed them with strength individually.
Both n knelt on one knee, Li Yu extended one hand on top of Onund’s head, and the other hand pressed on the "Prophet Book".
The latter was a book compiled by the Sabbath practitioners of the Double Rest Sect to record Li Yu’s daily words and actions, but it was not yet complete, with the latter half of the pages still blank.
Still, Li Yu decided to use it first.
Afterward, Onund placed the "Holy Sword" before his knees and made a solemn oath, willing to protect the Church with his life, adhere to its precepts, beco the sharp blade in the hands of Prophet rlin, and never betray him.
And when he finished his vow, Li Yu also spoke, "In the na of my Lord Saturday, I bestow upon thee the blessing of strength."
Li Yu proceeded in the sa manner and bestowed the blessing upon Jude as well.
When the two n stood up, they swung their fists and legs a few tis, then lifted their Holy Swords, with an expression of surprise on both their faces.
Being masters themselves, they were very sensitive to changes in their own strength and could clearly feel an increase after receiving the blessing.
In contrast, a certain Lord, upon learning of Li Yu’s capabilities, imdiately pestered him to give himself a buff as well.
However, he couldn’t feel much of a difference from before.
Li Yu noticed his new student Quintus standing to the side with a look of skepticism on his face, seeming to have difficulty believing what was happening before his eyes.
So he beckoned Quintus over, laid a hand on his forehead, and said, "In the na of my Lord Saturday, I bestow upon thee the blessing of the Dragon Slayer Seal."
Quintus, shocked, quickly said, "Prophet, I am not a follower of the Double Rest Sect, nor am I a warrior, and I haven’t joined the Black Hound Guard... Such a precious blessing would be wasted on ."
"It’s okay, the blessing I give you is different from theirs, it’s just temporary, mainly for you to experience its power," replied Li Yu.
Quintus then relaxed slightly. Although he ca to learn from Li Yu, deep down he still considered himself a follower of Pisya, and before making a final decision, he did not want to accept too many benefits from the Double Rest Sect.
He then turned his attention to his body, and almost the mont the blessing was bestowed, Quintus felt a very strong sensation.
The Dragon Slayer Seal, though a temporary blessing, was a strong buff that improved all three attributes by fifty percent.
Even soone as ordinary as Quintus could imdiately feel the difference after being buffed; he felt lighter, yet stronger at the sa ti.
Afterward, Quintus tried running a couple of laps on the open ground in front of Teacup Castle and, to his astonishnt, he didn’t feel tired like he did before.
He was utterly shocked because the Silver Moon Church also had blessing ceremonies, but each ceremony required a significant expense, generally only affordable by Nobles.
Furthermore, the blessings of the Silver Moon Church were mainly for warding off evil spirits and averting misfortune; not every ceremony was successful, and even after holding a blessing ceremony, many people still perished afterward.
Quintus himself was actually not fond of such elusive matters until he experienced the blessing of the Double Rest Sect.
Only then did he realize that such straightforward and potent blessings existed in the world! Upon receiving Li Yu’s blessing, Quintus imdiately felt strength surging from within his body.
Moreover, according to Li Yu, the blessings he bestowed on the two leaders of the Black Hound Guard were permanent.
In other words, the Double Rest Sect can certainly use blessings to raise a powerful army.
And it seed Li Yu did indeed plan to do this. He told Onund and Jude, "After you return, help choose a group of devout warriors with martial arts skills, well, martial arts are not a strict requirent, loyalty is the most important thing, and additionally, those with military achievents will be given priority."
"I will also bless them later, let’s start with three hundred people for the initial phase."
Li Yu can cast over ten buffs in one day, but if he really went through with this, he would spend most of his ti on the Bratis Continent sleeping.
To not delay other matters, Li Yu temporarily set the quota for blessings at seven people at a ti, and with his frequency of about once every three days, he could bless seventy people in a month, plus sotis the weekends would co into the count.
To complete three hundred people would probably take about half a year.
Furthermore, when Li Yu had blessed Onund and Jude just now, he tried sothing; the effects of the sa blessings cannot stack, but different blessings can.
For example, combining a strength blessing with the Dragon Slayer Seal can unleash a more formidable effect. But if one harbors the idea of creating a super warrior by continuously bestowing blessings upon a single person, then they might as well wash up and go to sleep.
Later, Li Yu took out an electronic dictionary and also simulated the fate of the Lady.
However, the result made Li Yu frown.
"What’s wrong, what’s wrong?" Miss Rabbit, unable to read Chinese characters, could only ask Li Yu, "What’s going to happen to in the next four months?"
"Nothing much, just focus on developing your territory," he replied.
"You saying it like that makes it seem even more suspicious." The Lady said discontentedly, "After all the hardships we’ve been through together, is there anything else you need to hide from , or do you think I’m too fragile to handle a little pressure?"
"Alright," Li Yu said, "the simulation predicts that in one month’s ti, the ten thousand Wing Tribe mbers in Lion Heart Castle will march out in full force to attack Green Field."
Upon hearing this, Miss Rabbit’s legs suddenly gave out, and she almost sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, Li Yu was quick to react and steadied her in ti.
Hearing her own teeth chatter, the Lady asked, "How many are coming?"
"Ten thousand. Excluding those responsible for staying behind, this should be their entire force."
"Why? Didn’t you say earlier that the western border isn’t a strategic location and they wouldn’t concern themselves with us for the ti being?"
Miss Rabbit’s complexion was terrible. Ten thousand didn’t sound like a lot, especially since she had previously led five thousand n to defeat a thirty-thousand-strong Dwarf Army in the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.
But the problem was that the Wing Tribe’s military exploits were even more spectacular—they had conquered Crab’s Corner and Lion Heart Castle, not to ntion decisively defeating the Empire’s one hundred thousand Allied Forces at White River City, and their own casualties were not significant.
Their terrifying flight ability was a nightmare for all adversaries, rendering the high walls and fortresses that nobles had once prided themselves on completely useless.
Besides, they also had three dragons.
Li Yu said, "Strategically speaking, the western border indeed isn’t that important. So there must be so other reason why the commander nad Solomon decided to attack us all of a sudden. Fortunately, we still have ti. I’ll get Redio and Kieren to investigate."
The Lady was still grappling with the bad news. After a mont, she pointed to the electronic dictionary hopefully, "You said this thing could be wrong, right?"
"Correct," Li Yu said, "the Life Simulator is not one hundred percent accurate, and fate itself is filled with uncertainty. The Life Simulator just observes one of many possibilities."
