Hail the King

In the future, the military of Chambord could be equipped with a lot of [Combat Shrines]. If each small formation of 50 soldiers had a [Combat Shrine] with them, they could suddenly unleash 200% of their strength! How destructive and surprising that scene would be?! Just imagine!

That was only the beginning.

Except for the [Combat Shrine], the soldiers could use the [Stamina Shrine] to gain unlimited stamina, use the [Armor Shrine] to get double the defense, use [Mana Recharge Shrine] to restore their magic energy or warrior energy, and use all kinds of [Resistance Shrines] to be immune to lightning, fire, ice, and poison magic spells……

Furthermore, if these mysterious runes could be simplified and engraved onto smaller objects other than big stone pillars, they would be more mobile and could be used as strategic assets! During wars, the value of these shrines would be irreplaceable!

Even if it were just individual battles between masters, they could still provide a huge boost and potentially change the outcome.

This was the power of the shrines from Diablo World; they could turn a hurdle of powerless sheep into a crowd of hungry wolves.

To be honest, Fei thought Akara and Cain would take a long time to completely decrypt the mysterious powers of the shrines and recreate the powerful shrines, but they sure gave him a huge surprise.

For a moment, Fei almost wanted to hug those two mad scientists and kiss them on the cheek.

However, Fei could tell that these shrines were only prototypes. They were quite heavy, and they could only be used at specific locations. They were still far from the mobility that Fei was hoping to see. They had to be more refined and improved, and it was going to be a massive and tough project.

However, it had to start somewhere, and the foundation was now built.

There were three shrines on the Golden Leo Mountain so far – [Combat Shrine], [Skill Shrine], and [Experience Shrine].

Out of these three shrines, the first two didn’t provide permanent increases. Different from the time restrictions in the actual game, these two shrines could actually empower the user for ten minutes, but their effectiveness couldn’t be stacked together. The [Combat Shrine] could increase Lampard’s combat abilities by 200%, and the [Skill Shrine] could double the damage of Lampard’s combat techniques.

After use, these two shrines would need a full day to recharge before they could be used again.

However, the [Experience Shrine] surprised Fei a little.

For some reason, this shrine’s power got modified. Fei could tell that its actual effect differed from the game; it wasn’t for one-time use. Instead, it constantly released a mysterious power, and Lampard’s cultivation speed was increased when he was around this shrine. Even though it was clear that the increase in experience wasn’t as fast as it was in the game, it was still a great addition.

Fei didn’t stay on the summit of Golden Leo Mountain for too long. After he gave a godly herb from the core region in the Mythical Palace to Lampard and helped him to increase his strength, the king left this place.

……

In the next second, Fei appeared in the [Godly King Palace] that was situated on the mountain in the middle of the Sky Castle.

In the next moment, his spirit energy spread out into the city and scanned the area within five kilometers of Fei.

Fei saw people like Cech cultivating diligently in the side palaces, and he was very pleased with their hard work.

Even though the Sky Castle that was now inside the stealth energy sphere on the Azeroth Continent didn’t have as much nature elements as the core region in the Mythical Palace, it was a rare place where cultivation speed was greatly enhanced. After three days of cultivation, everyone who stayed in the Sky Castle made progress.

However, under the time pressure, the progress wasn’t enough.

Sitting in front of the mystic lotus on [The Throne of Chaos] in the [Godly King Palace], Fei thought about it and took out more than a dozen godly herbs which corresponded with the elemental attribute of the warriors of Chambord.

These godly herbs were all from the core region of the Mythical Palace, and they have been growing in there for many years. With abundant nature elements, these herbs were able to prosper and stack their medicinal effects. They were rare to see on the Azeroth Continent, highly spiritual, and extremely valuable.

To warriors and mages who cultivated warrior energies or magic energies, getting a godly herb that fitted their energy attribute was very beneficial. Since the godly herbs were comprised of a lot of pure energy, they could stimulate the energy inside the cultivators’ bodies and be converted into pure warrior energy or magic energy.

Fei learned herbology from Priestess Akara, and he had a good hang of all the godly herbs that he collected. Therefore, he didn’t need to worry about making mistakes in selecting herbs for different people, and he quickly got the proper supplements for each of the warriors of Chambord.

As long as the warriors of Chambord listened to him and consumed these godly herbs according to his instructions, their bodies would be greatly stimulated with no side-effects, and they could reach Moon-Class a lot sooner.

Fei’s wedding was in 12 days, and he was afraid that it wouldn’t go as smooth as he planned. Therefore, he had to prepare ahead of time to deal with all situations.

……

For the next few days, Fei primarily stayed at the Sky Castle.

Except for using the methods documented in the mysterious purple scroll to strengthen his spirit energy, he entered Diablo World to kill monsters with Valkyrie Elena. He wanted to increase his strength and reach Sun-Class as soon as possible.

The region within 500,000 kilometers of Zenit was experiencing some chaos.

Many wise people could already tell that the situation was about to get worse, and continental wars might break out. Therefore, Fei had to improve his strength if he wanted to keep himself as well as the Chambord Kingdom safe.

Of course, since there was still the daily time limit in terms of how long he could stay in Diablo World, Fei would sneak back into the Chambord Kingdom regularly to see what was happening on the ground level during his break time.

In the last few days, the number of people inside the city grew drastically.

The story about how the King of Chambord appeared in St. Petersburg alone and stunned everyone was being spread around the region by traveling poets, and more and more people learned about what happened that night. They all knew that the name, ‘King of Chambord’, was far beyond the prestige of the king of a level 1 affiliated kingdom of Zenit.

As soon as this information got around, various empires, noble forces, and powerful groups had to view Chambord in a new light. They re-evaluated the power of this kingdom, and they all wanted to figure out how they should communicate and live around this powerful king.

In many people’s eyes, the King of Chambord’s wedding was a rare and great opportunity to observe everything.

Perhaps, they would be able to inspect the Chambord Kingdom as well as the king to judge the potential of both, and they could express their friendliness if they wished to.

In the next couple of days, Chambord’s ministers and six departments were extremely busy. They had meetings with the various envoys from all kinds of forces within and outside the Zenit Empire every day.

The Marse Empire, the St. Germain Empire, the Maze Empire, the Soros’ Merchant Group, the Wind Horse Mercenary Group, Fire Blood Mercenary Group, the Imperial Mage Union…

These powerful forces that were far out of Chambord’s reach a year ago all lowered themselves and sent envoys to the kingdom, notifying Chambord that more prestigious representatives would come to the kingdom on the king’s wedding day to present gifts, and they wanted to keep a very friendly relationship.

Soon, the hotels at Chambord were packed to the maximum.

Therefore, the envoys who came late had to find other places or camp outside the city; some even offered a lot of money to the residents of Chambord to live in their homes! Even though this was the case, none of them dared to complain.

Many people in the city earned a lot of money from this, and they got a sweet taste of how tourism would benefit their lives.

Chambordians had never been this proud before!

As they sensed outsiders’ envy and counted the gold coins they earned in the last few days, many of the citizens of Chambord would wake up in the middle of the night while laughing. Greedier people even hoped that the king could get married every day!

When it was about six days until the wedding, the Revenue Department conducted a survey and found that the number people inside Chambord City had increased by three times.
