Three days later, with "No. 6 Dragon Cleric" returning alongside the meditative body of "No. 7 Blue Dragon Monk," and "No. 3 Gold Dragon Paladin" also back from Waukeen's Divine Kingdom, Li Wei used the two "relics" brought by Waukeen's Clerics before all his Retainers.
There were no dazzling light-and-shadow effects, nor any grand spectacle watched by the masses. Just like that, two more Legends were born.
In some smaller churches, this would have been a shining moment worthy of being recorded at length in their sacred scriptures.
They would proclaim to the world that another "Divine Favored" or "Saint" had been born among them.
Generally speaking, this kind of special advancement was itself a form of "Divine Power bestowal," and also represented indescribable trust and favor.
But a "bestowal" did not mean these Divine Favored were all empty shells.
Take Kaierben, the Blackstaff Mage of Water-Drawing City, the Seven Sisters of the North, and Hairuike, that guardian Cleric. All of them were renowned powerhouses of the Northlands.
Especially those Divine Favored who were not related through nepotism—before receiving divine grace, they were often either major figures in their own right or exceptionally gifted prospects.
Divine Favored were the gods' agents upon the Prime Material Plane; some were simply the popes or archbishops of weaker gods.
For example, Waukeen had Bishop Salanda Orem of the Holy Coin, stationed in the "Golden Tower" temple in Athkatla, Amn, as Her spokesperson—the very model of a working stiff.
Compared to that old bishop, who had served Waukeen day in and day out for a century, Waukeen really had not cursed the wrong dragon when she called Li Wei a heartless scumbag dragon.
After all, without comparison, there was no hurt. Compared with the former's tireless devotion, Waukeen more often resembled a working goddess
