Chapter 398: Chapter 398

At the same time, other books can also nurture a large number of different production professions, which absolutely meet the needs of a small town.

The books are too chaotic, so Lin Rui can only put them away first and organize them when he returns to the territory. There are a total of more than twenty-three thousand books, quite a large number.

Exiting this craft area, Hanna took another book from the shelf and tossed it over: "Here, your favorite one."

[Ding, Obtained ’Book of Wisdom’ *1]

Lin Rui smiled, indeed, this was his favorite artifact.

[Book of Wisdom: Not only is there Yan Ruyu in the pages, but also the nutrients necessary for the strong! Use it to add +1 Wisdom. (Note: This effect remains effective even at the Divine level. Young one, do you want to become strong? Go read! ps: Active points, cannot exceed tier limits)] This update ıs available on novel•fire.net

Although it cannot surpass tier limits, this item remains effective even at the Divine Spirit level. Lin Rui had no hesitation, directly pushing his Wisdom Value to the Tier Four limit, 200 points. Next was to wait for the opportunity to breakthrough.

No wonder the ’Revelation Sound’ was rated Epic-level. This strong lucky breakthrough trait is indeed extremely important to some powerful forces.

Similar books to the ’Book of Wisdom’ include ’Steel Will’, ’Bloodline Baptism’, which enhance willpower and physique. However, their numbers are extremely rare.

The Templar Order consists mostly of close combat knights, whose demand for these books is extremely large. There are hardly any left behind.

Lin Rui thought about it and directly gifted these books to Su Xi.

Distributing these books among the entire army is like a drop in the bucket. It’s better to accumulate them on one person to form the territory’s power pillar.

Clearly, Su Xi is the power pillar of the Golden Pansy Domain.

With the ’Sacred Artifact: Army of Justice’, the command value she consumed was halved and smoothly included under Lin Rui’s command, with enhancements from the Heroic Commander attribute successfully applied to her.

This drastically increased her combat power, bringing the difference from enemy Tier Seven soldiers down to possibly just a few dozen attribute points.

"Besides this, the most important thing is this."

[Holy Light Knight Breathing Method (Middle Tier): Based on the holy light, when the user breathes, they emit purifying holy light around their body, capable of clearing all darkness and malign influences. Cultivating it can greatly enhance the user’s soul and will and can release effective purification attacks, removing the enemy’s darkness and malice.]

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up, this breathing technique provides a method for the territorial knights to continuously enhance their attributes.

From what Lin Rui knows, knights seem to be able to cultivate multiple breathing techniques.

For instance, the Sun Flame Knight’s breathing method increases life value, sometimes also enhancing physique and will.

This Holy Light Knight breathing method enhances soul and will, and seemingly also strengthens attack power.

Lin Rui immediately gathered all the knight breathing techniques, totaling 2758 copies.

It seems that within the Templar Order, only knights with higher talent can cultivate breathing techniques.

Hanna glanced at Lin Rui and smiled: "This number is enough to supply the territory’s knights for now. But what about when there are new knights in the future?"

Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "If we end up lacking them, we can only, like the Templar Order, let Rare Level and above knights learn the breathing techniques."

Hanna laughed and asked: "But can you accept that?"

"I can’t, what’s the solution?"

Hanna bit her lip, looking at Lin Rui with dreamy and yearning eyes: "Come on now, beg me. Beg me, and I’d even give you my life, let alone a solution?"

"..." This woman has really got me trapped!

However, seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, Lin Rui could also be certain that she really had a solution.

Lin Rui replied grumpily: "You’re a Sadomasochism Hero, not a Tzeentch Hero, stop going around in circles. If you have a solution, then spill it."

"Alright. How can I resist when you’re my dear young lord?" Hanna turned and walked to the deepest part of the library, carrying a sacred scroll back out.

Momentarily, everyone was captured by the scroll, with its mysterious mana-hued patterns. Crafted from legendary dragon scale material, the scroll bore swirling deep blue and gold motifs, resembling countless brave knights symbolizing mysterious power, evoking mystery, divinity, majesty. The edges were fashioned from precious materials, radiating beams that were dazzlingly resplendent on the scroll’s surface.

Traditional black ink was absent, replaced by bright, flamboyant colored flame writing. The flames burnt vigorously, conveying its expression of the fantasy world, impacting every viewer.

The scroll recorded the Knights’ past glories and achievements, embodying the essence of wit, resilience, and glory, showcasing strong sanctity and historical sentiment.

Hanna laughed and asked: "My dear Lord, you’re already a powerful force leader as well as the Divine Champion of the Goddess of Fortune. Haven’t you planned on establishing a subordinate knight order?"

"Gush~" This enchantress really knows how to stir the heart.

Lin Rui was instantly moved to consider it through her provocation.

And the ambition overflowed, an unstoppable surge.

In this world, knight orders are one of the most important military organizations. They are an indispensable part of human civilization with immense roles.

Due to the frequent threats from beasts, robbers, Green Skins, and Demons to imperial towns and villages, the knight order’s main tasks are to eliminate these enemies, protect these towns and villages, ensuring the territory’s safety.

Moreover, as knight orders are usually under some form of faith control, another duty is to maintain the sanctity and honor of their faith.

Furthermore, if a knight order has a base, it is inevitable that its members mainly come from the territory of a family, implying they must guard the family’s honor. Fight for respect and honor for the family, bringing glory with their courage and fighting prowess.

But if the knight order is founded by a prestigious lord or a religious leader, its most vital purpose would be to serve this monarch.

For example, the empire has its Inner Ring Knight Order, each Duchy and Earl’s Domain has its knight orders.

Not to mention various religions, usually having their Defender Knight Orders. The God of the White Wolf has the White Wolf Knight Order, other deities have the Divine Academy Knight Order, Green Forest Knight Order, Starflame Knight Order, etc.

Lin Rui alone perfectly fits these two identities.

The Golden Pansy Domain needs no introduction. Although just an exploratory territory, far smaller in power compared to Earl’s Domain or Duchy.

But Lin Rui is wealthy!

Wealth brings freedom. There’s no rule that says an exploratory domain can’t establish a subordinate knight order, right?

As long as Lin Rui can afford the knights’ expenses, provide them with high-quality gear and mounts, even if the territory only hosts a small town, it can still maintain thousands of knights. Even establish a massive order with numbers exceeding ten thousand.

On the other hand, it’s even more reasonable.

The Goddess of Fortune ought to have her own knight order, safeguarding the sanctity and honor of the faith.

Theoretically, this knight order should be formed by the Goddess Priestess devoted to the Goddess of Fortune, then commanded in battle by the Divine Champion, Lin Rui.

But...everyone knows the Goddess Priestess of their own is quite unreliable.

Forget about the goddess’ doctrine, many in the territory can’t even remember this Goddess Priestess’s real name.

Lin Rui himself remembered she was called Yueqian, but Lin Rui couldn’t believe her soft, lazy shoulders could bear such a heavy burden.

Hence, ultimately, it’s Lin Rui’s task to form a knight order for the Goddess of Fortune.

Moreover, with Lin Rui establishing this knight order, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

The knight order would be loyal to the Lord of the Golden Pansy Territory and the Saint Hall of the Goddess of Fortune.

This would avoid the messy affairs prevalent elsewhere of monarchs fighting with Church Court bishops for knight order’s control.
