Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1023: Chapter 146: A World Like a Pile of Crap and the Origins of the Green Knight (2)

Su Li nodded: ”So this Knight actually aligns quite well with the responsibilities of a Wanderer.”

”Exactly, Lord!” Demster nodded enthusiastically, ”Knight Carlos is our Church’s top ’Tomb Explorer’ and ’Secret Digger.’ His core abilities are not in battlefield combat but in insight and communication.”

”If it weren’t for him not being adept at fighting, his strength enhancement progress wouldn’t be slow, currently only at an elite level. Given Mole’s favor towards him, he could easily break through to the Divine Chosen tier.”

”But I think his shortcoming is negligible for our Territory. Because of various opportunities in our Territory, his weakness can easily be compensated for, rapidly boosting his strength to the Divine Chosen tier.”

This is certainly the case!

Su Li nodded with a smile. In Hesse Territory, as long as you have value, Su Li is relatively easy-going when it comes to helping individuals enhance their strength. Achieving the Divine Chosen tier might be difficult and requires waiting for opportunities, but reaching the Champion tier doesn’t have significant barriers. It all depends on whether the Territory is willing to invest in him, and whether he can demonstrate enough value.

In this regard, all Knights in the Territory have formed a deep-rooted impression.

The five Divine Chosen Knights of the Territory and dozens of Champion Knights are a strong testament to this.

That’s right, five Divine Chosen Knights!

Besides Lion King Oerstein, War Saintess Hilude, Raven Dominator Demster, and Holy Healing Hand Dietrich, the Territory gained another Knight during this period of rest.

That is the Blazing Sun Saint Knight Rong’en.

Actually, Rong’en Priest’s promotion was entirely a matter of course, as everyone anticipated.

Even before abandoning Shalya’s faith, he was already a Divine Chosen Knight, but after turning his back on medicine and choosing the military path, he was burdened with the Curse of the Goddess, causing his strength to decline.

During the war in Hesse Territory, he obtained Shalya’s forgiveness, allowing him to swiftly recover his strength.

Before the Hesse Territory attack on Blue Mirror Territory, he was already a High Tier Champion Knight, and this period of rest and recovery helped him gather sufficient strength to break through to the Divine Chosen stage in one fell swoop.

In reality, Su Li didn’t assist him very much; it was all due to his own cultivation.

However, it is obvious the entire Territory does not see it this way!

In the eyes of all Knights in the Territory, Lord possesses powerful abilities that can help the Territory’s Knights quickly break through tiers and continuously enhance their strength.

Otherwise, how would a small Border Development Territory in Hesse, typically only having Baron-level strength, have so many Divine Chosen Knights? Five Chosen Ones! Even in the Duke’s Territory, this is considerable.

Furthermore, except for Demster, the remaining four achieved breakthroughs shortly after pledging allegiance to Su Li, within a mere year and a half.

If one were to say this is a coincidence, none of the Knights would believe it.

One or two might be coincidences, but three or four still coincidences? Now, there are five Divine Chosen! Clearly, there must be some special opportunity involved.

Thus, the Knights all believe, by following Lord, they will surely gain their own opportunities, allowing them to break through rapidly.

Even Demster, Mole’s Chosen One, is no exception, as he continued to explain in detail: ”Knight Carlos’s abilities are outstanding. Firstly, his perception of the Aura of Death and soul traces is unrivalled. He can sense the slightest, even deliberately concealed echoes of death, akin to a Hunting Hound sniffing out scents. This enables him to pinpoint hidden tombs, forgotten battlefields, or regions like the bottom of Blue Mirror Lake, saturated with intense and twisted Soul Energy. The activities of Ghost Cavalry in the lake’s submerged nest, seen by others as mere abnormal water flow, are perceived by Knight Carlos as a ’clamorous’ whirl of souls, with the central point as clear as a torch in the night. This was crucial in swiftly locating their lair with the Crimson Pearl — all thanks to Knight Carlos’s guidance!”

”Secondly, his most potent ability, akin to an enhanced version of [Mole’s Words]. This isn’t simple Spirit Communication Technique; it’s a Divine Grace bestowed by Mole, a rare gift enabling profound communication with the undead. He requires no complex rituals, often merely touching an ancient tombstone, an artifact, or simply standing in a specific spot quietly sensing, he can establish contact with lingering, yet to fully dissipate Spiritual Body consciousness.”

”With [Mole’s Words],” Demster emphasized, ”Knight Carlos can ’listen’ to the undead’s last obsessions, unfinished wishes, or crucial pieces of information witnessed in their lifetime. He not only understands but can guide dialogues, soothe resentments, and even aid lost souls in finding their path. This communication allows him to unveil truths buried by historical dust, lost clues, and even dangerous warnings from the deceased. Communicating with those slain by Ghost Cavalry or bound on the lakebed would be pivotal for Blue Mirror Lake exploration — imaging how much intelligence we could gather about the enemy’s lair structure, weaknesses, or even the mastermind behind them?”

Su Li was fully intrigued by this Knight: ”So, he isn’t a Sharp Sword for charging in battles, but a beacon and key for unraveling mysteries and illuminating Darkness.”

”Absolutely correct, Lord!” Demster confirmed joyfully, ”Knight Carlos’s combat capability is more reflected in his extensive tomb survival experience and knowledge in countering undead traps. He’s familiar with various ancient mechanisms, curses, and traits of the undead, leading teams to avoid dangers. As for combat, he excels in maneuvering or self-preservation through utilizing the environment and knowledge, rather than engaging vast armies directly. But in terms of exploration and intelligence gathering, he’s an indispensable treasure!”
