Chapter 12 The Chosen Guardian
During the meditation process, the power purified by the bloodline also began to repair the dark wounds and damages on Richard's body, Atlas was different from the ordinary holy domains behind, and indeed had the strength of the Heavenly Sacred Domain, which made Richard also pay a lot of price.
But this time there was something peculiar, and there was always an itchy feeling in Richard's right chest, as if something was growing. The bloodline core seems to have sensed the thirst for energy from the new organs, and began to provide it with a steady stream of energy. In this way, a new organ began to take shape.
Richard scanned the inside of his body and found that on his right chest, a brand new heart was growing!
The next two days were spent in dull meditation. The newborn heart needs a lot of energy, and the daily power from the four stars, the well of the stars, and meditation is supplied to this heart, which is enough.
Before Sanctuary to Legendary, there was a small chance that a second heart would be generated for each level level, which was equivalent to a second energy power source.
The stronger the physique, the more likely it is to produce a new heart. And the new heart will also bring a significant increase in physique, magic or fighting spirit, and it will also increase the explosive power during battle. Therefore, the difference in strength between the powerhouses of the Sanctuary can be very large, and one of the important reasons is the number of hearts.
At least half of the Sanctuary didn't generate a new heart until they reached the legend. And they have no hope of hitting the legendary realm at all. Most of the remaining sanctuaries will also have an extra heart in their lifetime. Such a sanctuary can be called a strong person, but if you only have an extra heart, if you want to impact the legend, it is equivalent to a spring dream.
Only a very small number of people can grow a new heart every level after entering the Sanctuary Realm, or an energy power core with a similar function to the heart, can they have a certain certainty of rushing to the legendary realm.
Finally, there are a few true geniuses who are able to cultivate more than three hearts or cores before stepping into the Legendary Gate. Such a person will not only be able to enter the legend, but will also go further on the road of legend.
Legendary powerhouses, whether warriors or mages, need very strong bodies in order to carry the power of terror. That's the meaning and value of more heart.
So when he noticed that a new heart was beginning to sprout, Richard was pleasantly surprised and immediately cultivated it with all his might, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
Two days passed, and there was no more armed clashes, and the turmoil that swept almost the whole of Faust came to an end. But the real storm has just begun.
The two days of calm almost made people forget what had just happened. Only the heated debates that take place every day in the House of Lords are a reminder that the ownership of the Blue Moon has not yet been legally determined. Although it seems almost impossible to get Akmund to spit things out now, there is always a little hope as long as the debate continues.
Richard was so focused on cultivating the newborn heart that he could hardly afford anything else. As for the safety of the floating island, Richard is not particularly worried at this moment, most of the constructed knights in the outer territory have already gathered in the Black Rose Castle, as long as an order is given, you can be teleported from the Black Rose Castle to the floating island in a few minutes, and you can gather an army of more than three hundred constructed knights in an instant. With such an army in hand, Richard was not afraid of the legendary powerhouse at all.
In the turmoil two days ago, it was because of Richard's thunderous methods that Akmund actually suffered very little damage. Now Richard naturally has no blood feud eager to take revenge, but there are a few guys who have jumped very well have been firmly remembered by him, and they will be uprooted together with their family in the future. In this regard, Richard was never a good man, and no wealthy family would be compassionate after being provoked by such a provocation.
On the third day, it was time to agree with Nolan again. Richard temporarily slowed down the cultivation of the new heart, counted the sacrifices in his hand, gathered fifty knights in armor, and went to the Eternal Dragon Hall to sacrifice.
The journey was peaceful, with the occasional glare at Richard by minor nobles or samurai, most of whom had friends and relatives who had died in the turmoil of the day. But now, too, they can only express their anger with their eyes.
In the Eternal Dragon Palace, Grand Priest Nolan had been waiting for Richard for a long time. Her expression looked a little haggard, which was quite rare for someone of her level of strength. For the past three days, it seems that Nolan has not had a good rest at all. The preparations for this sacrifice were not as light as she had originally said.
Nolan straightened the messy hair in front of his forehead and asked directly, "How many sacrifices did you bring?"
"It's equivalent to two top-level sacrifices, plus a few more fractions. Richard said.
Nolan's eyebrows widened a little, and he said, "I didn't expect you to have so many sacrifices, yes! ”
"Is the Chosen Guardian of the Lightless Realm really that important?"
The payment of the top sacrifice, Richard couldn't help but ask more. Nolan's preparation, it can be seen that it also took a lot of energy, and she probably paid an unknown price behind her back. Now that Richard has an in-depth understanding of the sacrifice methods of the Eternal Dragon Palace, he naturally understands that behind any special option, there is a huge contribution from the priests.
Nolan replied with only two names: "Io, Nayu." ”
Richard immediately understood that the two Chosen Guardians of Quicksand seemed to be from the Lightless Realm. Needless to say, the Combat Priest and Soul Shepherd were powerful, and this was not a level that any publicly recorded Chosen Guardian could achieve. On that day in Faro, the trio of priests composed of Quicksand, Nayu and Io already had the ability to reverse the outcome of a war on the scale of 10,000 people.
However, the number of followers around Richard is not small, and there are many guys with great potential, such as the Ogre Lord, who has received a pass to enter the legendary world. He doesn't even need to deliberately cultivate now, as long as he eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, his strength can continue to grow.
Although after Quicksand's departure, Richard's followers did lack a strong Restoration Priest. However, in Faro, a group of young priests such as Sisoka are growing rapidly, and there are also a large number of priests of the three goddesses to call on. Even if they can't be compared to Quicksand, Io, and Nayu, but looking at the whole of Norland, in addition to the church, how many priests can be compared to ordinary families, even if they are owned by wealthy families?
Adding another unknown Chosen Guardian may not be the best choice. Richard was impressed by the quality of Io and Nayu's independent traits, and it would be a waste to emerge from the Lightless Realm as a killer. After all, Richard already has two top killers in his hands, Splash and Scarlet, and Zong Hu can also make a cameo appearance as a killer when necessary.
Two top-tier sacrifices, if both used to strengthen followers, have a chance to increase the potential of a follower to the level of legendary. This is a very safe income, and it is actually more attractive to Richard than the gambling of the Chosen Guard.
Richard directly told Nolan of his thoughts, and now these sacrifices were the last stock in his hands. Once all of them were used, Richard lost his deterrent against turbidity currents. In addition, Richard now believed that the crisis in the Blue Moon had eased for the time being, and it seemed that there was no need to immediately use up the only remaining sacrifices in his hands.
Nolan, however, said to Richard, "No, you don't understand the true face of the Lightless Realm. And in the current situation, this Chosen Guardian will be very important to you! you need a lot of power that you can use right away, the more the better. ”
Richard's face also became solemn, and he asked, "What is the current situation?"
"Holy Alliance. Nolan wasn't going to explain any further, and it seemed that there was something she couldn't explain.
"Okay, then sacrifice!" Richard decided.
Nolan and he can be said to have shared interests now, and they will definitely think about him as much as possible. It was only after in-depth contact with Quicksand that Richard knew the true strength of the Great Priest of the Eternal Dragon Palace. So even though two top-tier sacrifices were involved, Richard was willing to trust Nolan's judgment.
The ceremony had already been prepared. Richard, who had sacrificed an unknown number of times, was also very familiar with all the processes. He placed the sacrifices on the altar one by one, and then waited quietly for the power of time to condense the divine grace.
One sacrifice after another disappeared on the altar, but the power of time did not jump out of options, but gathered together one by one to condense the divine grace. Originally, a sacrifice would receive a single charism, which could not be added to each other. But this sacrifice, the power of time obtained by each sacrifice can be gathered, which should be the result of Nolan's intervention behind the scenes.
Richard stood in front of the altar and watched the air as a large and tumbling ribbon of time. From the band of light slowly hung a figure condensed by pale golden light, the figure gradually revealed its silhouette, and it was still changing, switching back and forth between several images, there were priests in robes, and warriors with shields and swords.
A beam of light shot out from the transfiguration and shone on Richard's eyebrows, and Richard immediately received a message of sacrifice in his consciousness: "Divine Grace: Chosen Guardian." You will have a chosen guardian who will always be loyal to you, and throughout your life, they will obey your orders, defend your dignity, and carry out your will. The Chosen Guardian's talent cap can be increased by another sacrifice. ”
What follows is a series of choices for the Chosen Guardian.
Since the Chosen Guardians are essentially condensed from the power of time, they can be tailored to the wishes of the sacrificer. And according to the additional instructions, as long as an additional mid-level sacrifice is put in, the details such as appearance, skin color, gender, and body of the Chosen Guardian can be readjusted in the most detail.
It can be said that what kind of Chosen Guardian the sacrifice wants, he can create what kind of Chosen Guardian comes out. Even if he made the Chosen Guardian exactly the same as Su Hailun, he could do it.
