Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence
Chapter 669 - 52: Forging Alliances and Networks of Interest (Part 3)
"The most powerful Heartless Priest can make a knight immune to shock, immune to fear, and even feel no pain and despair during battle. Once its effect is activated, the knight can become a Living Saint, never tiring."
Never tiring, never fearing, and even feeling no pain from injuries!
Indeed, once activated, a Divine Chosen Knight can become a powerful Heartless Grand Priest.
Su Li decisively grasped Hilude’s right hand and placed the ring on her slender finger, smiling as he said, "Although I’ve never given you a ring before, this time it should make up for it. Let me see the effect... It truly suits you well."
Hilude raised her palm, flexing her ring finger as the golden gemstone glittered in the candlelight. She then stroked the red Dragon Blood Gemstone at her fair chest, smiling brightly, and said, "My Lord, you’ve already given me many gifts."
This Rare Level ring is worth at least tens of thousands of Golden Crowns.
More crucially, its significance can’t be measured in money. With this ring, Hilude already possesses Rare Level talisman, Rare Level weapon, and Rare Level ring.
She now only lacks Rare Level armor and Rare Level clan emblem. Even her advanced mount is above Rare Level.
Once she is fully equipped with Rare Level gear, ordinary Divine Chosen Knights are likely no match for her, unless it’s the military backbone of the Duke’s Territory or the Knight Commander of high-level Knight Orders like the Flame Sun Knight Order, who might gather a set of Rare Level gear, more luxurious than Hilude’s.
Su Li is also striving in this direction, so he smiled and said, "Our equipment will become more and more complete. We currently only have one ring, very soon there will be two, and even your entire gear will be replaced by Rare Level."
Then Su Li picked up the deep blue-colored Deep Blue Oath and asked, "What is the effect of this jewel?"
Silvana replied, "Jewels aren’t equipment and don’t possess such powerful attributes, but as a Rare Level jewel, besides being dazzling, it has additional characteristics. It can make the wearer more attuned to water element, which is why elves and mages prefer such splendid jewels. They allow them to possess stronger magic affinity and appear radiant and attractive. If you hand it to President Elle tomorrow at the auction, it can definitely fetch an astounding price."
"Hmm~ That’s a reasonable point," Su Li pondered for a moment, then decisively stood up, fastening the necklace around Selanweir’s fair neck. The gleaming gemstone hung elegantly at her fair chest, making her appear especially voluptuous and enticing, full of nobility.
If no one mentioned it, no one would think this graceful and dignified girl, whose eyes are as mysterious as an icy abyss, is a slave.
Su Li glanced over her and her decorations, nodding with satisfaction, and said, "That’s much more perfect, it really suits your temperament."
Selanweir’s eyes widened with shock as she asked, "This is... for me? No... No... Master, I-I can’t accept such an expensive gift. If auctioned, its value might reach tens of thousands of Golden Crowns."
Su Li’s eyes flashed as he said, "If I give it to you, then accept it. I’m very dissatisfied with your attitude, showing you haven’t adjusted your position yet! I give gifts to other female courtiers, and they only appreciate them; who refuses a gift from their beloved?"
Selanweir’s momentum instantly weakened, feeling indeed a bit wrong in her actions, no wonder it upset the Lord enough to show displeasure.
When a lover gives a flower or a piece of jewelry, how could the other party disappoint by refusing and suggesting they sell it instead!
She nervously clenched her fair hands inside her sleeves, anxiously hoping Su Li wouldn’t be angry: "Master, I realize my mistake. I-I will serve you wholeheartedly."
She couldn’t actually think of any special trait of hers worth the Lord’s generous treatment, so the only reciprocation she imagined was her body. Perhaps it was the only aspect worthy of the Lord’s kindness?
This brought a satisfied smile to Su Li’s face. It indicated the girl had finally, from the depths of her heart, prepared herself, ready to offer her pure, untouched, slender and graceful body to him on the bed, willingly to endure his embrace, allowing him unrestricted freedom on her body.
Thus, this Rare Level necklace exhibited its maximal value!
To completely win the heart of a Legendary Level Female Knight, one must approach it from daily, minor gestures.
Su Li smiled, gently brushing her silky hair, and said, "Then you return to your room and wait for me. I’ll arrange the follow-up matters and find you shortly."
Selanweir’s cheeks blushed instantaneously like fiery clouds as she was still an innocent girl, thinking of cleaning herself up and waiting in bed for the master to come intimately and spiritually before feeling her cheeks shamefully burn as though on fire.
Which girl doesn’t harbor such thoughts, though when the moment truly arrives, it feels extraordinarily shy.
She dared not lift her head, responding in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, then quickly excused herself back to her room.
Luckily, few people were paying attention to her now since Rusted Sword Knight Algernon had been brought into the room.
This knight despises evil and refuses to associate with corruption. If the day ever comes when a knight must step forward, igniting his own flame to kindle others’ will and purify the army’s corruption, undoubtedly he is the one first to stand up, a military pillar igniting himself to illuminate the world’s darkness.
Su Li greatly admires such character, acknowledging that it is the existence of these noble young men and righteous knights that keeps the Empire standing indomitable in this dark and despairing world.
