Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 434 - 197 - Miracle Building: Divine Ancient Dragon Library_2

[Ding, you opened a gilded treasure chest, the gaze of the Goddess of Fortune once briefly lingered here, you have received the favor of the goddess!]*4

The brilliant golden light instantly solidified into reality, with four golden beams shooting into the sky.

Even the majestic Holy Temple couldn’t contain this light, as the beams converged above the goddess statue on the Holy Temple, enveloping the entire enormous statue in divine radiance.

Within a hundred miles of the territory, everyone could witness the scene of the goddess statue shining brilliantly. Countless subjects spontaneously offered devout bows in this direction.

The light dissipated, all four gilded treasure chests were opened, but this time, unlike before, there weren’t three resplendent treasures floating in golden light above each chest.

Instead, only four items were floating! Each chest corresponded to one dazzling golden item.

These were a ring, a skill scroll, a building plan, and a small statue, respectively.

The building plan was the slowest to convert into strength, so Lin Rui first took the building plan.

[Ding, obtained Epic Wonder Building Plan: Divine Ancient Dragon Library]

[Miracle Building: Divine Ancient Dragon Library]

[Level: Epic]

[The library is a place to collect and protect all the spiritual wealth of the world; its spirit should be as greedy as a dragon, relentlessly collecting and cherishing all precious documents, knowledge, culture, and historical relics. This epic-level magnificent building not only collects all the spiritual wealth of the territory but also carries the sediment of history and the heritage of civilization. A dragon hidden in the long river of history, it possesses endless wisdom and knowledge, inviolable, and exudes a historical grandeur, allowing people to appreciate the inheritance and continuation of civilization.]

[Building requirements: One Epic-level Super-Tier Dragon Crystal, 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 Tier Three Spiritual Gems, 10,000,000 lumber, 10,000,000 ore, 100 artisans, taking 108 hours.]

[Trait 1: After completion, it can collect all books of the territory and randomly duplicate 100 of them daily.]

[Trait 2: Automatically records each subject’s contribution to the territory and evaluates contribution value. Subjects can exchange all books in the library with their contribution value.]

[Trait 3: Daily generates universal experience books equal to one ten-thousandth of stored books (each universal experience book increases 500 universal experience points)]

[Trait 4: Can set learning traits; all subjects in the territory staying in the library for sufficient time can master them (mastery time depends on individual Root Bone, current territory level can set one trait, maximum Elite-level)]

Can a trait be added for all subjects to master?

Lin Rui almost chose without hesitation, it must be [Heroic Faith].

[Heroic Faith: Elite-level Trait: Courage is the most important virtue for Knights to defeat the enemy. Firm willpower will give the Knights more heroic performance. Knights who firmly believe in victory will have a 20% increase in attack power, with attacks carrying 10% piercing damage. Vital attacks will undergo a willpower test; passing the test will turn it into instant death damage. Knights who firmly believe in holding until dawn will have a +20% blocking rate; blocking will undergo a willpower test, passing the test improves damage reduction by 10%, lasting 10 seconds.]

This is a trait only Elite Knights have. If all soldiers in the territory could be equipped with this trait, the combat power of the soldiers would significantly increase.

Especially against low-tier troops, almost every attack would become instant death damage.

This will further complement the territory’s army’s attack power shortfall.

At present, the territory’s army has always been stronger in defense than attack.

Facing strong enemies, this is undoubtedly an incomparable advantage, but when it comes to crushing ordinary enemy units, it’s undoubtedly slower.

With this trait, at least the Black Banner Guard won’t have to engage in bloody conflicts with the enemy anymore.

Whether the long-range troops can activate this Heroic Faith still needs to be tested.

However, Lin Rui estimates it’s difficult, since it’s hard to demonstrate heroic faith while shooting arrows from a distance.

But perhaps an interesting scene might occur, where a unit of Light Cavalry encounters a unit of Golden Pansy Domain archers, and during long-range exchanges, both sides are evenly matched.

As the Light Cavalry charges toward the Golden Pansy Domain’s ranged troops, the Holy Hall Maid Guard is forced to draw short swords to counter-attack, and in close combat, they swiftly and efficiently defeat the enemy army.

Aside from this rather special trait, the other three traits are very much in line with the library’s positioning.

Every day, it randomly selects a hundred books to duplicate and generates a certain amount of "Basic Universal Experience Books" based on the number of books.

As long as books are constantly added to this library, there will be a continuous harvest of wealth.

Sure enough, a library is one of humanity’s greatest treasures.

Lin Rui had just gathered a large collection of books from the Templar Order, including 163,521 copies of the Experience Book.

Besides the Experience Book, there are many valuable books that increase attributes, master skills, and train professions.

With the books obtained from treasure chests, Lin Rui’s collection has about three hundred thousand volumes!

He had previously been thinking about how to distribute these books; with this Miracle Building, it saves effort and worry.

However, building this structure is not easy, mainly because of the lack of Dragon Crystals.

Only Super-Tier or higher Giant Dragons can produce Dragon Crystals.

And the requirement is a Dragon Crystal from an Epic-level Giant Dragon.

Where can one be found?

Epic-level!

These are not commonplace units found on every street. Dragons are already relatively rare, and Epic-level Dragons are even more so.

It’s necessary to know that the Golden Pansy Domain’s Epic-level units are merely less than ten in number.

Audrey glanced at the building requirements, immediately crossing her arms and solemnly said, "You better not get any ideas about Death’s Wings. Even though it’s a bit stupid, it’s more useful alive than as a Dragon Crystal."

Lin Rui didn’t bother to reply to her. That stupid dragon is indeed a bit stupid, but not to the point of slaying it for a Dragon Crystal.

After pondering for a while, Lin Rui put away the [Epic Wonder Building Plan: Divine Ancient Dragon Library].

For the Epic-level Dragon Crystal, he indeed thought of a potential place to obtain it.

Then Lin Rui looked at the other three treasures next to the plan. He promptly picked up the small statue, which he had never seen before.

[Ding, obtained Divine Item: Hymn Statue]

[The hymn of humanity is a hymn of courage; the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage. It is precisely courage that allows humanity to unleash incredible creativity; it is precisely courage that enables humanity to overcome the fear of death, accomplishing one achievement after another; it is also courage that has left countless epic stories worthy of song and praise.]

[Activation requirements: 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 Gems, 10,000,000 ore.]

[Each cycle transforms the territory’s noble spiritual will into substantial wealth. Worthy of song and praise throughout the long history, epics are one of the most important wealths of the territory.]

The effect is very vague and blurry; spiritual will is not an intangible thing, but solid wealth.

Each cycle is able to transform the noble spiritual will of the territory into substantial wealth. What will it transform into?

Resources? Treasures? Troops? Or traits?

Anyway, this should be the most important wealth opened from the gilded treasure chest. Whatever it yields should surpass a gilded level Earth Mother Statue.

This statue doesn’t require construction but requires a certain amount of resources to activate.

Lin Rui directly handed it over to Audrey: "Find a main crossroads to place it, preferably at the future city gate, so the territory’s subjects can see it every day."

Audrey immediately took it, confidently patting her chest: "Lord, rest assured. I guarantee to place it in the most conspicuous position!"

I would have been at ease if you hadn’t said that. With you saying this, now I’m somewhat worried.
