Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

After sacrificing the [Long Halberd and Fierce Armor], Sunx Ce planned to use all the [Knight's Heart] in one go.

Although with the Awakening Medal of the Valkyries in the Heroic Spirit Hall, Knights above Elite-level can transform into Heroic Spirit-level.

But there's never too many Heroic Spirit-level knights. Each additional Heroic Spirit Knight that appears in the sacrifice process can leave an extra slot for awakening in the future.

Moreover, in this sacrifice, not only is there a chance for Rare-level and Heroic Spirit-level to appear, but there might also be a chance for another Knight King to appear.

There might only be one Empress, but no matter from which angle you look at it, there's destined to be more than one Knight King.

Lin Rui organized the scrolls and was about to make the sacrifice, when the private chat channel suddenly chimed with a notification sound.

Lin Rui didn't have many friends added, and generally no one would disturb him without reason, so if there were messages in the private chat channel, they were basically valuable information.

Lin Rui took a glance and found it was a message from Sunx Chen. This young man who secretly admired Audrey, had moved to the Golden Pansy Domain after his territory was destroyed and hadn't interacted much with Lin Rui, so his message was quite unexpected.

Sunx Chen: "My Lord, are you busy? Someone entrusted me to deliver a message to you, hoping to complete a trade with you. It seems to be something our territory urgently needs. Do you have the time to look into it?"

Lin Rui appreciated this way of speaking; he didn't start with "My Lord, are you there?". Instead, he succinctly explained the situation and highlighted the value within. Lin Rui was immediately intrigued.

"What trade? Why didn't he talk to me directly?"

Sunx Chen: "My Lord... you've set friend requests to be rejected. He saw the purchase request in the trading shop of our territory. Then he asked on the world channel if anyone could help him contact you."

Lin Rui chuckled, there was no way around it — if he didn't set friend requests to be rejected, he'd be swamped by millions of friend requests.

Lin Rui: "Alright, I'll temporarily enable friend requests, have him add me."

After a moment, Sunx Chen replied: "He said he's afraid, fearing you'd trace his name and kill him."

Such concern suggests that this person is not far from the Golden Pansy Domain.

Lin Rui didn't know where he was, but every Explorer in the world knew where Lin Rui was. His coordinates were displayed as a large scarlet red dot to everyone. Just like a treasure map, his domain was a giant dragon's cave hiding abundant wealth.

But Lin Rui wasn't one to abandon a proper trade to go killing and looting. Not to mention if it's worth wasting precious time, just some wealth isn't worth Lin Rui giving up his principles and bottom lines.

So Lin Rui directly replied: "Tell him, under the name Lin Rui: Golden Pansy, I assure him he's safe. He should stop hiding and speak to me directly."

The name Lin Rui: Golden Pansy still carried unmatched prestige in the Azure Realm.

Just based on that name, many trusted its assurance.

At least up until now, there hadn't been any negative rumors about Lin Rui spread in the world.

Of course, there were quite a few accusations. After all, much like playing with thrills, nobody knew when this guy would strike like lightning, propelling the process of war.

The number of people wishing to kill him could line up from Bloodbath Mountain to Dragonbone Plain, but very few actually spread slander against him.

So a moment later, a request appeared.

[Ding, Explorer Cheng Ying: Lone Race requests to add you as a friend, do you agree?]

Lin Rui chose to agree, and the other party immediately sent greetings.

Cheng Ying: "Hello, sir."

Lin Rui: "Hello, what trade do you want to discuss?"

Cheng Ying: "It's really a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't dare to presumptuously disturb you. I saw you purchasing Recruitment Scrolls [Long Halberd and Fierce Armor] and [Knight's Heart] in the shop, and I have both scrolls."

Lin Rui: "You're not satisfied with the purchase price in the shop?"

Cheng Ying: "No, no. It's mainly because I can't use the resources you offered as a bounty. Can we negotiate specifically? I have two [Long Halberd and Fierce Armor] and eleven [Knight's Heart]."

Lin Rui was immediately taken aback, this guy was indeed very close to him. The blast fall overlapped so much, and quite significantly!

Although it couldn't compare to the army of the Golden Pansy Domain, gathering so many scrolls showed he indeed had strength.

Lin Rui was now truly curious about the main composition of his troops.

The [Knight's Heart] basic version, although it could only summon a Tier One level 1 Excellence Level Knight, equivalent to roughly a green quality knight.

However, with serious training, raising them to Tier Three was also feasible, especially since their Traits, once twelve knights were gathered, increased physical defense by 50%, with a 70% probability of gaining 300 points of spiritual shield every 5 seconds.

Even at Tier Four, they were quite powerful. The Silver Shield Runes equipped on all soldiers by Lin Rui altogether merely increased damage reduction by 500 points.

Twelve knights having a 70% probability of gaining 300 points of spiritual shield every five seconds, the sturdiness was already remarkable.

The only drawback of this troop type might be that when at low quality, they had no strong offensive abilities.

Also the starting [Knight's Heart] recruited at too low a rank, making training them relatively troublesome.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't bear to sell these scrolls to Lin Rui. He likely needed some rare resources to cultivate his core troop type.

So Lin Rui directly responded: "Just say what you want?"

Cheng Ying immediately replied: "I know there's an item called a Strategic Treasure, can I exchange these for one?"

Lin Rui couldn't help but chuckle, replying: "Brother, do you want to reconsider what you're actually saying?"
