Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 574: Holy Enhancement

"Yikes!"

Li Wei gasped!

He had previously felt that he had obtained too many benefits this time and didn't know how to consume them all. But as it turned out, his horizons were still too low; he hadn't seen the world.

So Sky Griffins were exchanged like this?

However, Holy Enhancement was also very attractive.

These clearly belonged to two different paths.

The Seven-Star Holy Origin Bow was obviously used to enhance an individual, while exchanging for Sky Griffins was to strengthen the team...

Sigh, it's very hard to choose!

Li Wei frowned. He wasn't in a hurry to make a choice. Instead, he exited the exchange Platform, pondered deeply for a long time, and then sought out Hathaway for advice.

"So there are actually so many hidden tricks to exchanging Eight-star Golden Cards. If I had known earlier, I would have left some for you," Hathaway couldn't help but feel annoyed."There's no need for that, I'm not lacking these few cards. How do you think I should choose?" Li Wei asked. Because this time he was truly indecisive; he wanted both choices and both paths.

"Eh, to think you are actually troubled by this... But I can't help you with this, because this is something you, as the Lord and the team leader, must decide yourself. Besides, no matter which of these two choices you pick, it will be exceptionally good. You are only conflicted because you are too greedy."

Hathaway actually took some schadenfreude in his situation. But after being solidly slapped by Li Wei, she hurriedly begged for mercy, saying: "There is a Specialization of Skills, or rather, 'when three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher'. Ask Sister Yue, then ask Second Aunt. If that really doesn't work, you can also ask Falcon Karl. Speaking of which, I'm more curious about how Falcon Karl feels now that you've become so powerful. In addition, I think that if I were Tyrant William, I would have already dispatched sufficiently capable pacifying envoys on their way by now."

Hathaway's words made a lot of sense; Li Wei was indeed too greedy.

However, there was no need to ask Falcon Karl about this matter.

"Then what advantages do you think Sky Griffins have compared to Adai? I saw on the information description that the combat power of a single five-star Sky Griffin is comparable to a Six-Star Hunting Pet."

"Well, I do know about this. The difference between Adai and a Sky Griffin is that he can only Upgrade to six stars. Six stars is practically the Upgrade limit for the vast majority of Hunting Pets. Take Warhorses, for example; five stars is actually their limit. Only a very small number of Warhorses can Upgrade to six stars, and that's only because the masters they follow are too powerful and have fought many battles without ever having Fallen in Battle. In short, basically don't count on it."

"If, after several hundred years, you still haven't Fallen in Battle, Adai might just quietly turn into a beautiful woman as delicate as a flower and slip into your bed one day. I'm not joking. Above six stars, conventional enhancement methods can no longer be used; it requires accumulation over a long period. But as for this, you can just think about it."

"However, Sky Griffins can continue to Upgrade, all the way from five stars to seven stars. Of course, the difficulty of Upgrading to a seven-star Sky Griffin is too great. Without an Empire under your command, it would be very difficult to accomplish. Because as far as I know, the vast majority of Duke Will's Sky Gryphon Legion are five-star, with only a small number being six-star. But exactly how many there are falls into the realm of intelligence, which I don't know."

"Aside from this, the greatest characteristic of Sky Griffins is their ability to cast powerful wind magic from the sky at long range. If there is a large-scale group of Sky Griffins, a massive Wind Blade coming down could harvest hundreds or thousands of people. If paired with Gryphon Knights, their power can be made even stronger."

"However, the daily cultivation of Sky Griffins is also very extravagant. Five-star Sky Griffins only eat five-star food every day, and the food intake of one Griffin is a hundred kilograms per day, and five hundred kilograms during wartime. Trying to feed them is just too difficult."

"Hmm, speaking of which, we harvested at least ten thousand tons of five-star essence flesh and blood this time. That could probably feed one Sky Griffin for a very long time."

This cost was indeed great.

After listening to Hathaway's explanation, Li Wei instantly calmed down. He had originally hoped to exchange for at least ten five-star Sky Griffins to form a Gryphon Legion. Now it seemed his foundation was still too shallow; he couldn't shoulder this bottomless pit.

"What if we cultivate Sky Griffin juveniles ourselves?"

"You'll have to ask Second Aunt about that, she's best at this. But I'm guessing that if you ask her, Second Aunt will definitely be wild with joy. She'll pat her chest and tell you to hurry up and exchange for them. To Second Aunt, the more Dragon Eggs she can hatch, the better!"

"Alright, I understand."

Li Wei nodded, having already made his choice in his heart. Although Sky Griffins were good, his foundation was too shallow, so he shouldn't bother with these. He didn't want to proclaim himself king and fight for hegemony. Ultimately, snatching the identity of an Imperial Myriarch or a Flame Duke would be pretty good.

One should only sing a play as big as their ability allows.

Right then, he first asked Second Aunt. Sure enough, just as Hathaway expected, Second Aunt's confidence was overflowing. Let alone Sky Griffin juveniles, she would even dare to wholesale hatch and cultivate Dragon Eggs for him. A 3rd-Tier Alchemist still possessed quite a bit of skill.

Next, Li Wei quickly found some Purple Cards that might drop Origin Particles. He called over some Royal Guards or Blaze Knights who were suitable for opening cards to open them, while Hathaway was responsible for security.

After a bout of tossing around, forty-five Purple Cards were opened, successfully gathering enough for 100 Origin Particles.

That's right, using Eight-star Golden Cards to exchange for Origin Particles was still a loss; opening Purple Cards was sufficient.

At this point, Li Wei reopened the exchange Platform and prioritized selecting Holy Enhancement. In an instant, fifty Eight-star Golden Cards and 100 Origin Particles were cleared out, but there was no reaction. His Artifact Bow didn't immediately undergo enhancement either. The next second, he was ejected from the exchange Platform, and nothing happened.

Wait, what's the situation? Where's the Holy Enhancement?

Just as he was puzzled, a line of text silently surfaced.

"Please proceed to any four-star Divine Temple, guided by a Temple Knight of at least six stars, and under the witness of the gods, complete the Holy Enhancement of the Six-Star Artifact Bow."

Good Heavens, it's this complicated? It even has quite a bit of ritualistic sense.

Li Wei sighed with emotion, then asked Hathaway if she had exchanged for a mage robe just now. She indeed had. In addition to that, she also exchanged for a Magic Crest. The rest of her exchanges were all higher-level Magic Cores. She was truly single-mindedly focused on Upgrading the Mage Tower.

At this time, Li Wei still had 30 Eight-star Golden Cards left. He felt that he first needed to exchange for two Magic Crests with built-in Sequence Six Abjuration Magic. Preserving his life was very important, and it just so happened that he could embed one into his Light Armor and one into his Heavy Armor.

Then, naturally, he had to exchange for a set of six-star Light Armor and a set of Six-Star Heavy Armor. A set of Plate Armor included five parts: the head, torso, legs, boots, and arms; gloves were unnecessary.

Therefore, these two sets of six-star Plate Armor would require ten Gold Cards.

At this time, eighteen Eight-star Golden Cards remained. Li Wei hesitated for a long time, but ultimately chose to exchange for ten Sky Griffin juveniles, while exchanging the remaining eight entirely into Magic Crests.

The Griffin juveniles would then be handed over to Second Aunt for cultivation, but the Magic Crests were not kept for personal use. Instead, they were distributed to the commanders of the various legions.

Jocelyn and Victor each received one; He Yibo received one; A Su received one; Tucker received one; Zhao Xuanxuan and Thomas each received one; and the final one was given to Li Yue.

These could save lives at critical moments. Although one could undergo Resurrection after having Fallen in Battle, fleeting combat opportunities disappear in an instant. On the life-and-death Battlefield, being able to withstand a fatal focus-fire strike might just reverse the situation of the battle.

In short, it was better not to aim too high blindly; being down-to-earth was the right answer. There was also no need for blind expansion. With his current Legion Organizations consisting of the Blazing Legion, Ice Legion, Ranger Legion, and Royal Guard, it was enough to give him the right to sit at the table and eat.

Just as he was pondering, Li Wei felt a wisp of purple energy rise up from his Troubled Times Pioneering Card and disappear in a flash.

Following closely, lines of messages surfaced.

[Because of your outstanding Charisma and invincible prestige, the Loyalty Level of your subordinate legion commanders He Yibo and A Su, and Advisor War Mage Tucker towards you has risen to the maximum level. As long as you do not commit any deranged, insane, unforgivable, universally condemned, or conscience-destroying evil deeds, their Loyalty towards you will never change. Furthermore, their Loyalty will also extend to your heir, starting with 95 points of Loyalty towards your heir right from the beginning.]

[Congratulations. The Loyalty Level of all Soldiers in the Blazing Legion towards you has reached 100 points. They have become your diehard loyalists.]

[Congratulations. The Loyalty Level of all soldiers in the Ice Legion towards you has reached 95. They are deeply loyal to you.]

[Congratulations. The Loyalty Level of all soldiers in the Ranger Legion towards you has reached 96. They are deeply loyal to you.]

[Because you have the support of powerful legions, you are invulnerable to all evils; Sanity +2. Your current Sanity is 23. Because you currently belong as a direct Advisor under Falcon Karl, and possess a 5% Founding Share in his Pioneering Card, therefore, Falcon Karl will also additionally obtain +4 Sanity because of you.]

——

Good Heavens, Karl ended up becoming the biggest winner instead?

Li Wei was very shocked. This old boy was probably feeling quite a mixed bag of emotions right now, right! He must be so conflicted.

Because at certain times, Li Wei could truly relate to Falcon Karl's headache.

Just as he was pondering, Falcon Karl had already sent a formal military order through the Faction Channel.

"Li Wei, congratulations on winning this battle, but I imagine you must have also suffered heavy losses as a result. Now, in the name of the Marshal of the Will Legion, I order you to lead your troops back to Liwei Keep to rest and reorganize. You do not need to participate in the upcoming war!"

Well then, the +4 Sanity had taken effect.

Orders received!

Without another word, Li Wei immediately assembled everyone. Braving the heavy rain and hail, they took a detour towards the three mountain passes built by Duke Will. Passing through here, they safely crossed the Tindal Plateau and entered the Dusong Plains. Then, Rushing Through the Night, they rendezvoused with the Ice Legion and the Ranger Legion. The three groups immediately turned around and headed back to Liwei Keep.

This result was exactly what he had been praying for, and at the same time, it was an advantage they had fought for. Because if they continued to fight, Tyrant William's Special Envoy would probably arrive. Once Li Wei was won over by Tyrant William, it would be More Loss Than Gain for Duke Will and his son.

Now, by using the excuse of suffering heavy casualties to return and rest, they could properly control the situation.

But there was one thing Li Wei was now certain of: Duke Will and his son truly wished for the Locke Mountains to collapse!

And just as they had returned to Liwei Keep, no one knew that a squad of mysterious people had also suddenly visited that already empty small Fortress on the Tindal Plateau—they were one step too late.

And almost on this very day, the Ni People Army finally engaged in their first fierce battle with Tyrant William's army along the Dindal Snow Mountain line.

But this great war truly had nothing to do with Li Wei anymore.
