“The hierarchy of miracles isn’t indicative of the miracles’ own strength,”
Uncle was still so knowledgeable, he explained to Bailuo, “It’s more like a potential evaluation, the level of power they can bring to people, not a combat level.”
“What do you mean?”
Bailuo didn’t understand, and Uncle thought for a moment, pondering on how to explain.
“Put simply, the lowest-rank miracles generally don’t bring any special power,” Uncle used the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch as an example, “like our Miracle Pocket, which can pour out a variety of crops, greatly boosting our agricultural development.”
“For any country, food is a critically important strategic resource.”
“With food, people can grow, and the country can increase its population and continuously expand.”
Thus, the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch helps with the development of the nation’s population and the abundance of its produce.
If it were placed in the ancient past of Bailuo’s former life, even calling it the god of agriculture wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“But the Miracle Pocket, it won’t bring any special abilities, it can only change our way of life.”
The least-tier miracles are such things.
They can make life more convenient and efficient for people, but it is hard for them to bring any special power.
“Next is the lower miracle, like our Sherri.”
“Sherri is a Pegasus; she possesses magical power, and this power is not only hers but can also be granted to others,” Uncle took a drag on his cigarette and continued, “And those who receive her grace will gain the same magical power.”
“In time, an entirely new race will be born.”
“Most Miracle Creatures have such power,” Uncle said, “And being able to birth a Miracle Race is the standard for a lower miracle.”
“By comparison, middle-tier miracles are somewhat stronger.”
Uncle said, “Middle-tier miracles can bring about an entirely new system of power, like the ‘magic’ you, Xiao Luo, talked about before, and their ultimate path is to establish a nation and civilization of miracles.”
It’s no longer about creating a race, but establishing an unprecedented country. “What about the upper tier?”
“The upper tier…”
Uncle didn’t know how to express it, he said, “The Iron Eagle Kingdom doesn’t have any superior miracles, and the miracles of the Iron Eagle King are all middle tier.”
“So, I don’t know much about superior miracles, the only thing I know is that they possess unimaginable destructive power, and they can destroy a nation with their power alone!”
Superior miracles, capable of annihilating nations!
“I heard that the Far North Empire up north possesses a superior miracle.”
“But as towhat it actually is,” Uncle shook his head, “I don’t have a clue.”
The essence of miracles, too mysterious.
It’s hard for outsiders to deduce whether someone is a Miracle Creature or a Miracle Object from the manifestation of miracle power.
“Speaking of which, are there only two types of miracles?”
The miracles Bailuo had got so far were Miracle Objects like the pocket, while Lilith and Sherri were Miracle Creatures.
“There are many kinds of miracles, as far as I know.”
Uncle said, “There are Miracle Creatures, Miracle Objects, Miracle Persons, Miracle Structures, Miracle Resources, Miracle Races, and so on.”
“The miracle of the Iron Eagle King, that stone he found, is a type of middle- ranked Miracle Resource,” Uncle continued, “It formed a mine filled with extraordinary energy, and the Magic Ore mined from it brought them incredible power and energy.”
The use of the ore, should be easy to understand.
Forging weapons, inlaid on various items, used in numerous ways.
“The reason why the nobles of the Iron Eagle Kingdom covet the People of Yatun mainly consists of two factors. One of them lies in their exploration of Miracle Power,” said the uncle.
Uncle told Bailuo, “I heard that the Iron Eagle King would have people mine Magic Ore, then crush and grind it into powder, forcing others to consume it.”
Miracle Power wasn’t a tonic.
Whether this substance was beneficial or harmful varied from person to person.
Those who could adapt were bestowed with a heaven-sent opportunity.
But for those who couldn’t tolerate it, it would be more terrifying than the most toxic poison in the world.
“Our constitution is superior, so the Miracle Lords are very fond of capturing us for experimentation.”
Bailuo had thought of many reasons why the Miracle Lords would persecute the people ofYatun.buthe never imagined it would be for such a reason.
“Cruel, isn’t it?”
Uncle shookhis head and lamented, “Those Masters of Miracles, they’re no longer human. They lack humanity.”
Uncle, in his youth, had also encountered quite a few Masters of Miracles. He was all too clear about their ways of thinking.
“What about the other reason?”
“It’s for the power of the Yatun Clan.”
Uncle didn’t go into detail because Bailuo couldn’t possibly awaken that, at least not now.
“With Lilith, we finally have the power to counter the Iron Eagle King.”
Uncle continued to describe the might of Lilith to Bailuo: “A Lower Miracle and a Middle-ranking Miracle are not much different inherently, but the Miracle Power bestowed by a Lower Miracle can’t compare to that of a Middle-ranking Miracle.”
To illustrate with a funnel, the aperture of a Middle-ranking Miracle is larger than that of a Lower Miracle.
So in the same amount of time, the Miracle Power overflow from a Middleranking Miracle naturally far exceeds that of a Lower Miracle.
Previously, the people of Yatun had acquired Sherri.
Relying solely on Pegasus Shelly, they could indeed battle the Iron Eagle King, but there was still a certain gap.
The output of Miracle Power and the speed of its recovery after wartime losses.
Even one-on-one, with a Lower Miracle Creature against a Middle-Ranked Miracle Resource, the people of Yatun really had a hard time challenging the Iron Eagle King.
Not to mention, there were other Miracle Lords by the Iron Eagle King’s side, ready to make their move.
But now, the arrival of Lilith will usher in a whole new landscape for the Yatun Clan, and also significantly enhance the production of Yatun Miracle Power.
With the current quantity and quality of Miracles that Yatun possesses, even if not on par with half of the Iron Eagle Kingdom, one-third is still feasible.
What’s more important is that these Miracles belong entirely to Bailuo alone!
They are incredibly united, with no room for internal strife or betrayal.
“Unity is our greatest advantage!”
Uncle was very much looking forward to how Lilith, being a Middle-tier Miracle, would impact the Yatun.
“Boss, grandfather!”
At this moment, Nors came over. He spoke with some urgency, “Look at this, both of you, quickly.”
After speaking, Nors raised his hand, “Grandfather, do you know what this is?”
There was a strange creature, the likes of which had never been seen before, struggling in Nors’s palm.
It was a mushroom the size of a fist, resembling a matsutake. But unlike ordinary mushrooms, it had hands, feet, and eyes.
“Eek, waa waa.”
The little guy was grabbed by the head by Nors, only flailing arms and legs about, unable to break free.
You’ve got to admit, it’s kind of cute.
“What is this? A Fungus Person?”
“I don’t know.”
Nors quickly said, “But suddenly a whole bunch of them ran out of the forest, hundreds of them, and they surrounded us!”
Bailuo could feel the Miracle Power from this little mushroom person, which belonged to his own Miracle Power.
With a thought, Bailuo retracted the Miracle Power from the mushroom person.
“Huh?”
Nors watched as the mushroom person in his hand reverted back into an ordinary mushroom, puzzled, “What in the world is going on here? What is this thing? A Miracle Creature?”
“Miracle creatures, by the hundreds?”
Uncle was speechless and said, “It’s more like a Miracle Race, but it doesn’t seem like a Miracle Race, rather, it seems more like a derivative of a miracle.” “Miracle, derivative?”
Nors didn’t know what this meant: “Anyway, boss, you better go take a look.”
“It must be Lilith’s doing.”
Bailuo sensed the Miracle Power, which was Lilith’s Miracle Power.
So, Bailuo immediately took the three people and left the tent, but as soon as they came out, they were stunned by the sight before them.
Densely packed mushroom people surrounded the perimeter of the camp, countless as the ocean.
“My goodness!”
Bailuo did not expect it to be so exaggerated, and he quickly called for Sherri and Lilith in his mind.
“Master?”
“Master!”
Lilith was sitting on Sherri’s head. Bailuo hurriedly asked, “What is this? What are those things? Did you make them, Lilith?”
Although Bailuo was Lilith’s master, he was unaware of the extent of Lilith’s abilities; there was so much for him to uncover.
“It was me.”
Lilith showed no sense of bragging, as if she had only done something very ordinary.
Bailuo inquired about the cause and effect and soon, he understood why.
It turned out that while Bailuo was discussing with Uncle and his senior sister, Jiera had picked some mushrooms from the forest to use as a side dish for the rice porridge to make it even more delicious.
Just at that moment, Little Helen, who had been curiously watching Lilith, said she ‘loved mushrooms the most.’
“Mushrooms, is it these?”
Lilith asked Little Helen, “You like these?”
“Yeah!”
Little Helen innocently replied, “Mushrooms taste very good.”
Then, under the watchful eyes of the children, Lilith waved her finger and said, “Here come the mushrooms!”
Everyone was puzzled, but soon, they heard cute footsteps.
It sounded like plush, springy shoes stepping on the ground making a ‘squeak squeak’ noise. The people first were stunned, then realized the sound was multiplying.
By the time they came to their senses, they saw a large group of mushroom people running out of every corner of the forest.
They were colorful, edible, inedible, poisonous, non-poisonous, all emerging.
“This…”
Bailuo looked towards Lilith, “Is this your Ability?”
“Yes, master. Lilith brought back all the yummy mushrooms.”
The mushrooms were brought back, but whether they were edible or not was another matter, and it seemed that most contained poisonous mushrooms, right?
“What kind of Ability is this? Can you make them go back?”
“lean.”
Lilith had just been born and was still very simple.
She fluttered around Bailuo for a bit, then waved her hand, and all the mushroom people neatly turned around and actually went back.
Not only that, Bailuo even saw many mushrooms run near the tree roots, and then, like humans, straighten their clothes, squat down, and revert back to their unharvested state as ordinary mushrooms.
The magical scene was just like the fairy tale scenery from a story Bailuo had told the night before.
“They, they went back.”
“Why did they go back? They were so cute!”
“Yes, some of them were bigger, what’s that word called again?”
“Adorable?”
“Right right, that’s it, so adorable.”
The girls seemed to particularly like these magical little creatures and were a bit reluctant to see them disappear.
“I really want to keep one.”
Bailuo heard the girls’ voices and looked at Lilith, the little guy tilting her head and asking, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No, not at all.”
Bailuo quickly said, “It’s just a bit unexpected.”
After speaking, Bailuo checked the time; it was getting late. “Everyone start packing up. As for just now…”
“Let’s get moving first, and during our rest later today, I’ll tell you all about it.” Bailuo couldn’t explain it well, since he himself wasn’t clear on what had just happened, so he decided to have everyone move on and inquire privately with Lilith.
The People of Yatun, especially the children.
Their hearts were filled with curiosity, looking back every three steps on the way, all to watch Bailuo and Lilith.
Obviously, the creatures from fairy tales had hit right on their curiosity, leaving them unable to let go.
As for Bailuo, he pulled Lilith aside.
Only now did Bailuo have a chance to inquire about Lilith’s specific abilities. “Lilith, what exactly did you do earlier? Why did those mushrooms, how did they start moving on their own?”
Bailuo felt really stupid for asking this question: “Magic, of course! What else could it be but magic?!!”
Bailuo: After being in this world for twenty years, I, Bailuo, have finally seen magic!
