Chapter 422: Chapter 422
"I knelt on one knee in front of her, asking how to proceed on the Path of the Holy Grail. She said she didn’t know where the Path of the Holy Grail was, but mentioned that those who aim high achieve mediocrity, and those who aim for mediocrity fall below. Perhaps if I look further ahead, I will find that the Path of the Holy Grail is already beneath my feet."
Falken looked at Lin Rui with a hopeless expression: "You still haven’t figured it out? Haven’t you felt that sense of sudden enlightenment when you looked up? When I saw such a perfect goddess, I realized that protecting her is the true way of aiming high! The Path of the Holy Grail is just a winding sheep path. With my transcendental state of mind, any enchantment is trivial to me, thus the Path of the Holy Grail is already behind me! Do you understand?"
"I don’t understand!" Lin Rui felt a toothache and asked, "Haven’t you considered that this so-called perfect goddess in your eyes might be a gentle hero from our domain?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Falken said firmly: "This isn’t a question of being the best in the world! She is... she is the kind of perfect Holy Spirit body that doesn’t exist on earth nor in the heavens. Indescribably pure and unsullied goddess. What enchantress, what unparalleled charm, cannot even describe one-tenth of her aura. Only when you, my Lord, see her in person, will you understand that there truly exists such a pure and immaculate goddess in this world."
"Alas, it’s a pity, my Lord, you’re not a knight; you’ll never have the chance to see her. Believe me, my Lord, this will be the regret of your life."
"Then turn around and see if the Empress in the luxurious Twelve Flower Goddess Palace Attire is the pure goddess you’ve described."
Falken scoffed: "My Lord, you’re simply unwilling to believe. Such Holy Spirit goddesses could never appear in this world. If our domain had a hero of such caliber, I’d give you my knees."
As Falken turned his head, the next moment his voice stuck in his throat, his eyes widened larger than eggs, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a basketball!
Before he could say another word, he collapsed to his knees before Lin Rui, fully offering up his knees!
Wutong maintained her usual noble and majestic demeanor, her epic red dress forming a stark contrast with the world, giving her an aura that seemed ready to ascend to a higher realm at any moment.
Her usually cool face now had a slight blush, feeling somewhat awkward from being praised and flattered so directly in person.
Flicking her long sleeves, Falken immediately bowed his head in acquiescence, humbly crawling back and retreating quickly.
His mind was now a whirlwind; this perfect, pure goddess was indeed a hero of the domain!?
Might he be commanded by her in the future?
Oh heavens, is this earthly paradise?
Once Falken left as if floating on clouds, Lin Rui smiled and said: "I was wondering how I could get you to come out."
Wutong’s eyes lowered indifferently, without saying much. Seeing a knight enter for the trial, she easily deduced that Lin Rui had returned to the domain.
Raising her right hand, her pale palm opened, and then the Taboo Object, Devil’s Golden Balance, slowly emerged from her palm, floating before Lin Rui.
As her gaze shifted with the Taboo Object to Lin Rui, a brief furrow crossed her brow, her voice cold: "I’ve researched it; the fairness law cannot be altered, but I can help you distort the trading rules to achieve true equivalence."
"True equivalence? Meaning whatever unit I draw, I pay the corresponding price?"
Wutong nodded slightly, her demeanor exceedingly concise.
Lin Rui pondered for a moment and asked: "Isn’t that more dangerous? What if I draw a Holy Spirit level? I can’t afford the price."
Wutong looked at him silently.
"...Haha, haha, I’m just kidding, right?"
If it were possible to draw a Holy Spirit level, the Goddess of Fortune would spare no expense to help him pay the price. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by nοvelfire.net
If there were two Holy Spirit level units in the religious force, the Goddess of Fortune would be the most dazzling figure in the world.
Punching the Chaos Gods, kicking the skyful of Divine Spirits, no problem at all.
She would be the most dazzling queen... goddess in this world!
If both Holy Spirit levels were drawn from the Taboo Object, in a single night, the Imperial State Religion would immediately change faith, becoming the most loyal followers of the Goddess of Fortune.
Lin Rui put away the Taboo Object, turned to Wutong, and asked: "Are you leaving the domain now?"
With the domain’s army having conquered the Green Skins’ wagghhh under her command, and countless soldiers clearing nearby monsters hanging under her command this cycle, she had ascended to Tier Three, gaining an extra Holy Spirit Level Trait.
[Moonlight of Jade: Holy Spirit Level Trait (Glazed Color): Witness the star of jade, spanning the moon like a rainbow. This is an auspicious sign, responding to my Saint Monarch. Every day a certain number of Paladins of the same tier will respond to the Saint Monarch’s summons. The number of summons is Charm Value * Tier Value, summon quality (minimum Heroic Spirit Level, maximum Epic-level). Duration 2 hours * Tier Level (Note: summon quality increases with tier, maximum tier not exceeding Divine Spirit Level)]
Wutong’s current tier is Tier Three, capable of bringing forth Epic-level!
This trait is the ultimate enhanced version of Audrey’s Netherworld Key trait.
Meaning she could easily summon over three hundred Epic-level powerhouses to encircle Lin Rui.
What a concept, three squadrons of Holy Grail Knights immune to Spiritual Damage, surrounding Lin Rui and striking him.
Lin Rui is now only one tier higher than her, truly no match for her!
Holy Grail Knights, perhaps a Knight Kingdom’s history only has over a thousand.
Even the Golden Pansy Domain could not gather a single squad.
Now Wutong alone could rival a kingdom.
Her combat power at ceiling level, leaving Lin Rui unable to even gasp in amazement.
He was now curious about one thing, wondering what kind of world would be left after igniting the Divine Fire.
The Divine Spirits seem to be very busy every day, what exactly are they busy with? Surely not listening to the voices of believers!
However, facing the question Lin Rui put forth, Wutong didn’t bother to respond, simply turning to leave, her voice cold: "Discuss this after some time."
"After some time?" Why after some time? Lin Rui scratched his head, puzzled.
But looking down, his face instantly flushed with embarrassment!
No wonder Wutong didn’t want to say another word to him.
His behavior was indeed unbearable. That damned willpower decline. Did the Empress think he was fantasizing blasphemous things about her?
Yet Wutong was too gentle, not killing him for it. No wonder her brow seemed to furrow slightly earlier.
Lin Rui decisively pulled out a bunch of scrolls, holding them in his arms to cover his embarrassment.
This wasn’t his fault. As his Physique increased and his willpower decreased, seeing one peerless beauty after another in the domain, he simply couldn’t control himself.
After all, faith may deceive oneself, but physical desire doesn’t lie.
Lin Rui then hurriedly calmed himself, ready to open all the Recruitment Orders.
The Recruitment Orders have an extremely small chance to recruit high-quality units, covering units of all talents.
There was no need for Lin Rui to enhance them. Enhancing could only slightly increase the recruitment probability of each grade, insignificant for the domain, completely a waste of resources.
After all, 15.00001% and 15.000000001% are the same for Lin Rui. It’s just a numbers game.
Lin Rui directly tore open the first Recruitment Order.
[Ding, successfully used Territory Cultivation Order, obtained civilians*8, Excellence Level Armored Attendant*1, Elite-level Ranger Archer*1]
Lin Rui’s eyes lit up. This "small" probability was quite good, one order summoning two high-quality units.
Lin Rui immediately tore open another.
