"We've done nothing, yet we have to pay such a huge price. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Chancellor Sanchez stroked the scepter in his hand and chuckled softly.
Lancelot tossed the Genesis Ovary up and down, his gaze indifferent, saying nothing.
He had this "I've got you all figured out" attitude.
Seeing this, Chancellor Sanchez chuckled and shook his head, "What you have is indeed of great use to the empire, but you seem to be overestimating its importance."
"Oh? Is that so? Never mind then, goodbye."
Lancelot didn't waste any words, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Chancellor Sanchez did not stop him, but simply watched quietly. However, just as Lancelot was about to step out the door, his previously calm expression suddenly fell, his lips twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Alright, I agree."
As Lancelot retreated, no smugness appeared on his face. He knew he had to save face for the old man.
"You will definitely be glad you made this decision in the future. There is no doubt that the power of Nine-Star Miracle Divine Artifact far surpasses that of Eight-Star Miracle Divine Artifact!"
Lancelot said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Chancellor Sanchez's expression softened considerably.
How long does it take to upgrade a magical artifact?
"Probably two or three months, if we have enough materials. But before that, I need to collect some auxiliary materials and Primeval Stone," Lancelot Earth Dao casually.
Chancellor Sanchez sighed. "Since I can give you the Umbilical Cord of the Mother of All Things ahead of time, a few materials and Primeval Stone are nothing. Make a list."
"Good."
Lancelot nodded slightly, then handed a list to Chancellor Sanchez.
The latter's face twitched after reading it. He thought that the auxiliary materials and Primeval Stone combined wouldn't amount to much, but it turned out to be quite a sum as well.
The total value, converted into Knight Badge, is over a thousand.
In other words, this little guy from the Earth Guardian lineage, without doing anything, has seized high-end resources worth over two thousand Knight Badge from the Knight Empire.
For so many years, I've never let go of such a sucker.
However, having witnessed firsthand the extraordinary power of the Genesis Ovary, Chancellor Sanchez understood the importance of this Miracle Divine Artifact to the Knight Empire.
Moreover, upon closer examination, compared to a vast empire, no matter how precious some resources may be, they are merely fleeting wealth.
As long as the empire exists and its territory remains, it will be able to continuously produce resources.
Thinking this way, Chancellor Sanchez felt much better.
"I will have the resources you mentioned allocated to you immediately. However, before that, you need to use this Guardian Blade to revive the true Barbarian Soul Sculpture, and then you must sign a contract!"
"Certainly."
Lancelot nodded slightly, offering no objection.
Seeing this, Chancellor Sanchez clapped his hands, and a guard entered. He whispered a few instructions, and the guard left.
Not long after, the guards returned and placed several barbarian soul statues inside the main hall.
Chancellor Sanchez stood up, gently patted the Barbarian Soul statue, his gaze distant, as if he had traveled through Space-Time and returned to a bygone era.
"Our Barbarian Soul Race was not originally the overlord of the Flame Frost Continent. We have achieved our current status through the selfless struggle of generations of ancestors, who fought bravely and risked their lives to come out of poverty and hardship, and encountered many enemies along the way."
"These enemies honed the Barbarian Soul Race ' claws and teeth, elevated Barbarian Soul Race minds, and also allowed us to evolve various unique talents."
"The Petrification Talent is one of them. Before death, the body and soul of any Barbarian Soul Race will transform into a special stone substance, fusing together to become a completely inanimate object, sealing away all remaining spirituality."
"In this state, the Undead Race's Undead Conversion Talent becomes ineffective, greatly hindering their ability to snowball and expand their forces on the battlefield!"
Lancelot listened quietly without interrupting, but he picked up on a few key words in his mind.
The Petrification Talent of the Barbarian Soul Race does not seem to completely turn them into lifeless objects, but rather to deeply seal away their remaining spiritual essence.
If that's the case, the effect of Genesis Ovary might be significantly reduced.
Of course, this is not important to Lancelot.
In any case, the Knight Empire should be responsible for whatever is consumed.
Give it a try.
Chancellor Sanchez stroked the last barbarian spirit statue, then turned to look at Lancelot.
The Genesis Ovary immediately floated up and landed above one of the stone statues, with wisps of Power of Genesis descending down, activating its "Spiritization" property.
The savage stone statue trembled, the outermost layer of stone powder fell off, and then the entire statue changed color, becoming vivid, especially the pupils, which were full of spirituality.
A low roar rang out, and a wild aura surged forth. This veteran of the Barbarian Soul Race, who had once fought on the battlefield, was reborn.
"Greetings to the Great Sovereign!"
Under Chancellor Sanchez's slightly changed gaze, the Barbarian Soul Race veteran respectfully prostrated himself on the ground, bowing to Lancelot.
Standard Barbarian Soul Race etiquette represents absolute loyalty and holds a rather unusual significance among the Barbarian Soul Race.
Although he had expected it, it was impossible for Chancellor Sanchez not to have some thoughts when this scene actually unfolded before his eyes.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
Lancelot seemed oblivious to Chancellor Sanchez's expression and continued reviving the other Barbarian Soul Race statues.
One by one, the warriors of the Barbarian Soul Race bowed to Lancelot.
He then ordered them to demonstrate their combat capabilities.
A dozen minutes later.
The resurrected Barbarian Soul Race warriors stood silently, with Lancelot at the center, their wary eyes occasionally sweeping towards Chancellor Sanchez, causing the latter's lips to twitch slightly, making him quite awkward.
However, putting aside his feelings, the fighting prowess of the resurrected Barbarian Soul Race warriors greatly satisfied Chancellor Sanchez.
It was much better than expected.
Although their life rank is a level lower than the average level of the Barbarian Soul Race troops, and there is very little room for improvement.
However, the combat experience he inherited from his previous life has been preserved almost completely.
Once you put on knight armor that can temporarily boost your life rank, your combat power might not be much weaker than when you were alive.
More importantly, the Empire has an endless supply of Savage Soul Statues.
Over the long course of time, even if a significant portion of the stone statues are damaged for various reasons, once the remaining ones are fully restored, they will be a force powerful enough to shake the Undying Civilization.
Chancellor Sanchez even couldn't help but imagine the scene of the Barbarian Soul Race army pushing back the Undying Civilization tide of the undead civilization.
Seeing this, Lancelot spoke up at the opportune moment, "If the Genesis Ovary can advance to Nine-Star Miracle, these resurrected Barbarian Soul Race warriors will be even stronger, and their resurrection speed will be even faster!"
"No need for further words, let's sign the contract now." Prime Minister Sanchez's eyes were piercing; that was his nature—once he made a decision, he wouldn't hesitate.
"What contract? The Four Eternity Contracts? Or...?"
"No, the Astral Realm Contract!"
Lancelot understood.
This was not unexpected.
It is indeed highly unlikely that the Knight Empire, a peak Astral Realm civilization, would sign any of the four Eternity covenants.
After all, the relationship between a peak civilization and a super civilization is not so friendly.
