Chapter 241: Chapter 160: Clues of the Divine Creature, Secret Puppet Forged
The brightly lit laboratory.
Sunan looked at the winged statue in front of him, an odd expression on his face.
Having previously come into contact with the Divine Remains and the Holy Artifact of the Starfire Sect, he immediately sensed the presence of faith power within the statue.
Although extremely faint, not even one percent of the Divine Remains, it was indeed genuine faith power.
“This should be some kind of divine creature.”
Sunan mused thoughtfully.
The current environment of the Starlight Continent makes it impossible for new Divine Spirits to emerge.
And the ancient Divine Spirits have all existed for at least ten thousand years, and he knew them all.
The entity of the statue in front of him did not belong to any of them.
So it could only possibly be a divine creature.
In the multiverse, new divine creatures are born at every moment, and most do not belong to any specific race. They are new races themselves, so encountering a divine creature he didn’t recognize was quite normal.
“I just don’t know if this divine creature is a native creature born on the Starlight Continent or came across from another plane.”
Sunan was more inclined to the former.
After all, with the current environment of the Starlight Continent, no divine creature would be foolish enough to come here voluntarily.
A divine creature capable of planar traversal already has a life level way beyond that of a Wizard Apprentice, and entering the current Starlight Continent would be like humans entering an area with thin air — the longer they stay, the more painful it becomes.
“But all the followers have been wiped out, why hasn’t that divine creature appeared?”
“Or maybe it doesn’t care about those eye demon followers at all.”
This possibility isn’t off the table.
If it’s a naturally born divine creature, faith power would be more harmful than beneficial to it, and naturally, it wouldn’t need followers.
Perhaps the eye demons of Giant Eye City were blindly worshipping that divine creature without permission.
In any case, discovering traces of a divine creature near the Star Alliance shouldn’t be taken lightly, and its whereabouts must be found.
This adds yet another task for the exploration team.
Coming back to his senses, Sunan took out the Divine Remains finger, attempting to draw the faith power from the statue into the finger, but it failed.
After all, the faith power wasn’t meant for the Divine Remains, and they were entirely incompatible.
Helpless, Sunan could only let the faith power dissipate slowly.
Faith power that cannot be transformed into divine energy was of no use to him.
Fortunately, this faith power was too weak; even if converted to divine energy, it would at most increase his spiritual power by 0.02 to 0.03, so it wasn’t much of a loss.
Putting away the statue, Sunan went to the study.
Carolina and the Red Widow were already waiting for him there.
“Master.” The two women bowed in unison.
“You did well this time.”
After sitting down at the desk, Sunan praised the Red Widow.
“It’s what I should do, Master.”
Red Widow smiled subtly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light, casting an unnoticeable glance at Carolina beside her.
Carolina pursed her lips, quietly snorting.
Sunan turned to Carolina and asked, “The graduation assessment for the six Knight Academies is in two months. How are the preparations going?”
Carolina immediately replied, “Everything is prepared, Master.”
Sunan nodded slightly: “After the graduation assessment, all students will join the Knight Guard, and along with the new second-level Wizard Apprentices, form a new exploration team. You are to arrange it all; the Star Alliance needs to quicken its pace of expansion.”
Following Sherman and Cole, others like Attila and Ethan have also successively advanced to second-level Wizard Apprentices.
Now the student number at the entire base has reached 303.
Among them, there are a total of six second-level Wizard Apprentices.
This number will increase increasingly rapidly in the future.
Sunan initially intended to form a third small Golem Legion but has been too busy making Magic Pattern Armor lately, leaving no time to craft puppets.
Moreover, the costly Magic Pattern Armor has most of the Star Alliance’s revenue invested in it, leaving no extra cash flow to form a new Golem Legion.
The only consolation is the addition of three thousand knights, whose combat power, equipped with Magic Pattern Armor and Demonized Weapons, matches a small Golem Legion, serving the purpose of expanding military strength.
“After the graduation assessment, the Knight Guard will have 3,500 people, and will continue to increase annually. It is no longer appropriate to call it the Knight Guard; rename it the Demon Pattern Knight Order.”
Sunan made the decision.
From now on, the Demon Pattern Knight Order will become one of the most important armed forces of the Star Alliance.
…
In the year 1259 of the Starlight Calendar, in the month of Sarlon.
The six Knight Academies of Dragon Scale, Dragon Horn, Dragon Claw, Dragon Eye, Dragon Bone, and Dragon Blood welcomed their first graduates.
On the third day of the month, three thousand knight students gathered on the island of Ghost Lake City to prepare for the graduation assessment.
“This year’s scale is much larger than last year’s!”
Luger couldn’t help but exclaim as he looked at the sea of heads on the island.
Solano chuckled lightly, “After all, this year there are six Knight Academies.”
Sean, observing those students with expressions of excitement mixed with apprehension, also had a few more smiles on his face.
“After the assessment ends, our Knight Guard — well, now it should be called the Demon Pattern Knight Order — will expand in number by six times.”
“I guess we should call you Commander now.” Luger chuckled, “The larger the Demon Pattern Knight Order gets, the higher Commander Sean’s status in the Star Alliance becomes, almost rivaling that of the Wizard Apprentices.”
Sean chuckled and shook his head.
He wasn’t overly concerned about power but rather felt the heavy weight of responsibility.
