186: Initiation Charter

"It's nothing, this is normal. Just go to a secluded area outside the royal capital later and get used to it!"

Arthur then gave some instructions, telling Abergh and the others not to rush back to their fiefs. They should wait two days until they had completely mastered their power and wouldn't accidentally expose it before returning.

Only by hiding well could they catch their enemies off guard when facing danger... After Abergh and the others went out to adapt to their new power, Arthur moved on to another grand hall.

Gathered in this hall were the people Arthur had summoned, each possessing strength above that of a Sky Knight.

Veteran figures like Victor and Wilson, and Legendary Experts like Joao and Melita, were all present.

Adding the five newly summoned Silver Dragons, there were a total of twenty-three people.

Arthur stood in the center of the hall, surveying the crowd arranged in four rows.

"Everyone, I have gathered you here today to share some good news.

After the Lionheart Kingdom unified the Doreen Peninsula, the Portable Shop gained a new function: Instillation. It allows me to use gold coins to enhance the strength of others.

This also includes all of you!"

As soon as he spoke, except for the five Silver Dragons who had just been summoned and already knew this information,

everyone else's faces showed joy, even excitement.

Although they were all summoned individuals, loyal to Arthur, they still had their own personal feelings, and they also had aspirations for improving their strength.

Especially veterans like Victor, who had always guarded Arthur but now had to leave him due to his strength, his heart was filled with pain and torment.

Now that he could improve his strength, Victor's excitement was definitely among the highest present.

Seeing everyone so excited, Arthur was equally happy. After all, he didn't want the old companions who had been with him to gradually fade from his sight due to their strength.

After everyone's emotions had been stirred for a while, Arthur raised his hand, signaling that he had something to say.

The hall immediately fell silent.

"Everyone, I am equally excited about the appearance of this function, and I have gathered you all today precisely to enhance your strength.

This is a reward for all your efforts!"

"Praise be to you, great Your Majesty! We will definitely work harder to make Your Majesty the most dazzling person on the Continent!"

Seeing Arthur about to enhance their strength without a word, everyone knelt down one after another!

Seeing everyone kneel again, Arthur could only sigh inwardly. High loyalty had this disadvantage: they would kneel at the slightest provocation.

He could only say with a hint of helplessness:

"Get up first and prepare for the Instillation."

After everyone was ready, Arthur directly spent 1.7 billion gold coins to purchase a Legendary Rank Instillation for each of them, according to their respective races.

(The six Silver Dragons had already undergone Instillation, so only seventeen people temporarily needed Instillation!)

After the Instillation, two Water Element Dragons, including Joao, advanced from Late Stage Legendary to Legendary Peak.

Three merfolk, Melita and others, advanced from Mid-stage Legend to Late Stage Legendary.

Elwin, being human, also advanced from Mid-stage Legend to Late Stage Legendary.

The remaining eleven Sky Knights, including Victor and Wilson, all advanced to Mid-stage Legend.

After this wave of operations by Arthur, the Lionheart Kingdom now had over twenty Legendary Experts!

It could be said with certainty that no other kingdom on the Continent of Gods had more Legendary Experts than the Lionheart Kingdom!

The current Lionheart Kingdom could truly be called the strongest kingdom!

...Arthur looked at the excited crowd whose strength had been enhanced, nodded in satisfaction, and instructed:

"Your positions will remain as they were."

He then remembered that the Silver Dragon Emily was truly worthy of being someone who could roam the Continent freely.

Besides her strength, she possessed many special abilities, such as a secret technique to conceal her aura, preventing others from discovering her Dragon identity.

This secret technique was exactly what Arthur needed now, otherwise, if there were other experts in the Lionheart Kingdom, they might discover the abnormal number of experts within the kingdom.

And the Silver Dragon Fiore and others were duplicates of the Silver Dragon Emily; they also mastered the secret technique of concealing their aura.

Upon learning that Arthur needed such secret arts, they immediately revealed them, giving Arthur a pleasant surprise.

So Arthur had one more thing to instruct:

"Additionally, you all need to learn a secret technique to conceal your aura, the Aura Concealment Art, from Silver Dragon Fiore.

This secret technique allows us to only display the Realm we want others to see during combat.

It won't be like before, where as soon as you leak your aura, others can discern your Realm.

Therefore, the Aura Concealment Art is very important for our low-profile development strategy. Everyone must learn and master it!"

"We obey Your Majesty's will!"

By this point, Arthur's task of helping everyone with Instillation and enhancing their strength was complete.

Or rather, temporarily complete. He would certainly perform Instillation for them again in the future, and also for those below Sky Knight Rank.

The number of people and times requiring Instillation was significant, but it definitely couldn't be like today, where everyone was instilled at once. There had to be a set of regulations.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at the merfolk, France, the Chancellor of the Lionheart Kingdom, whose strength had already reached Late Stage Legendary.

"Instillation is a big deal that can help everyone improve their strength.

Except for special circumstances, such as today's significant increase in the kingdom's foundation, where multiple people will receive free Instillation at once, at other times, Instillation must have a set of regulations.

Regarding these regulations, I have already discussed the outcome with France, and she will explain it to everyone!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, France stepped forward from the crowd, then turned to face everyone.

"To ensure that everyone can benefit from Instillation,

Your Majesty and I have introduced a new concept: Merit Points.

All summoned personnel under Your Majesty will receive a large number of Merit Points when they achieve great deeds.

They will also receive an equivalent amount of Merit Points when their monthly salaries are distributed.

Based on your current salaries, Instillation of the same Rank can be performed approximately once every two years, and Divine-Grade Instillation can be performed approximately once every fifteen years.

Of course, considering that the salaries of summoned personnel below Earth Knight Rank significantly decrease,

Golden Rank and Silver Rank Knights will receive ten times their salary in Merit Points each month.

This amounts to five thousand and five hundred Merit Points respectively.

This is the temporary arrangement. If there are any improprieties, they will be changed later!"

Everyone recalled the measures Arthur had introduced: as long as they were summoned personnel, on average, they could advance one major Realm every fifteen years or so.

This speed became even more exaggerated the higher one went; it was an excellent measure!

They all nodded in agreement.

"We have no objections!"

And so, all matters regarding Instillation were resolved!
