That evening, both Bevis and Skkrag received messages from the King that their requests had been accepted. Both of them had different reactions, with the former getting an indecipherable small smile on his face and the latter sighing with relief, hoping that his sect would finally be able to access the treasures their ancestors had left behind.
Leaving a munication trinket in the Palace, all three remaining envoys departed the Kingdom. Even Eldra had made sure to leave one, as each trinket had to be bound by blood, making it so that no imposter could access the munication channel.
Early the next morning, numerous people gathered at a clearing on the grounds of the Palace. The location itself was beautiful, with perfectly mowed lush green grass and carefully pruned round bushes. Yet, each and every member who gathered at the location had a crazy desperation and yearning in their eyes.
Almost 500 people had already gathered, with almost all of them being teens. Yet, they all made way when they saw a group ing over.
As they laid their eyes on the faces of those who were approaching, many broke into wide smiles, laughing with joy while they ran forward.
These had been the people who had trained them, when many saw them as dirt due to not having any money.
With the arrival of the group, the whole atmosphere turned exuberant.
But a few minutes later, a hush came over the place, almost as if someone had cast a mute spell.
Four people were approaching from the direction of the palace, and seeing them, the same yearning from before reappeared in the eyes of all those present.
These four were Daneel, Kellor, Faxul and Felix.
Reaching the clearing, Daneel first confirmed that there was no one surveilling this place using the system. Then, after everyone kneeled due to King's presence, he nodded at Kellor to cast the isolation spell.
An opaque barrier suddenly came into existence across the whole clearing, blocking anyone from viewing the place.
As soon as the barrier was up, Daneel started speaking.
"I have already sent you all the introduction of the training technique. What do you think?"
An old man from the group which had e later was the first to speak.
"My King, how could it be possible? Increasing the potential of our bodies and prehension of our mageroots regardless of age?! Can such a heavenly technique truly exist!!"
The rest started whispering as soon as the old man spoke, puzzling over the same even though they had already had multiple discussions about the topic
"My Lord, will we turn into horrendous beasts if we train in the technique?"
This was from a particularly timid kid who closed his mouth as soon as he uttered the statement. It was just that his mother had told stories about those in the nobility morphing into terrifying creatures when their training went wrong.
Daneel chuckled when he heard this, as he was reminded of the conversation he had had with the system a few days back.
"System, show me my present status."
This question was not one he asked often, as for some reason, he loved seeing massive jumps in level progression whenever he did check the statistics.
[Host status updating. Please stand by.
Host status:
Host Fighter Level: Human-4(19%)
Host Mage Level: Human-4(19%)
Host Body Potential: A
Host prehension Level: Gold
Host Condition: Nominal]
Just like almost every time he saw the status, a wide smile had spread across his face seeing that he had reached the peak in both body potential and prehension level. In the recent history of the Lanthanor Kingdom, there was definitely no one like him who was this talented in both paths and also did not waste the talent in either path, cultivating both equally.
The only disconcerting fact was that the numbers in the brackets, which were the progressions towards the next level, hadn't budged since the time he had entered the palace. He wished he could earn level progression from missions like before, but the system had told him that like the loan system, this was also only a small reward for those in the early levels from the backup energy left behind in the system.
"System, is there no way a technique can be developed to increase the potential and prehension of others?"
He had asked this question multiple times before and given up because the system's answer had always been "No
