Chapter 742: Chapter 478: Legendary Talent, Divine Favorer

"None of you are exceptions."

"Once the territory has more intermediate water mages, I’ll consider reorganizing you."

Upon hearing Zong Shen’s words, Molly and Hayes frowned slightly, and their smiles vanished.

It’s unprecedented for a prestigious Tier Four mage to follow the orders of a Tier Three mage.

Ultimately, however, they nodded and said nothing further.

Zong Shen watched Milani lead them back to the ranks, his expression unchanged.

Just two Tier Four mages were not enough to make him change principles.

Although Molly and Hayes are higher tier, they’re newcomers, and Zong Shen would never easily grant them authority.

He wasn’t interested in catering to the loyalty of these newcomers like offering tribute to a Bodhisattva.

Even when Sangui Yingshu mistreated subordinates, nothing terrible happened.

Zong Shen wouldn’t engage in mistreatment, but he wouldn’t deliberately please them either; everything would proceed normally.

Based on his experience, maintaining normality steadily increased subjects’ loyalty.

Providing food, friendly conversations, and frequent battles together—all these interactions can enhance loyalty.

As for gifting rare, compatible items and equipment, that’s effectively taking a shortcut.

Additionally, different types of warriors, personalities, and experiences result in varied loyalty shifts.

Zong Shen only needed to grasp the overarching direction; deliberately pleasing every subject was unrealistic.

Especially now, the core team within the territory was gradually taking shape.

The newcomers needed to prove themselves with actions and abilities to earn Zong Shen’s esteem.

After rejoining the ranks with the two intermediate water mages, Zong Shen turned his attention to Kangnijiya.

The resourceful intermediate wind mage looked at the demoted water mages, a gleeful expression on his face.

Their aloofness and reticence displeased Kangnijiya, and now Zong Shen’s command under a Tier Three water technique was akin to a slap in their faces, bringing Kangnijiya comfort.

Seeing Zong Shen’s gaze, his smile widened, and he subtly gave Zong Shen a thumbs-up with his robe-covered right hand.

Kangnijiya was quite optimistic, having come to terms with everything when sealed in the Other Dimension.

Through a contract as binding as a life-deed, he learned some secrets about the world and seized an opportunity to extend his life.

Since he’d already sold himself, finding an interesting Lord was a welcome outcome.

Due to some special circumstances and certain experiences from the past era, he possessed resilient nerves and a sunny disposition, unaltered even by contract.

Given the current situation, Kangnijiya was very satisfied with the Lord Zong Shen.

But Zong Shen didn’t ponder this much; he was curious about what unique qualities this distinctive wind mage possessed.

As Kangnijiya’s detailed attributes appeared before him, even with Zong Shen’s seasoned insight and calm demeanor, he was briefly stunned.

[Intermediate Wind Mage (Wind Spirit Divine Favorer): Kangnijiya]

[Level: lv10]

[Attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Hunger Level: 80]

[Loyalty: 82]

"Wow... There’s really a Wind Spirit Divine Favor suffix."

"Most incredible is the talent; it’s the first time I’ve seen someone with Legendary Level talent."

Zong Shen’s mouth hung slightly open, inwardly clicking his tongue; despite his unchanged expression, he was profoundly shocked.

Legendary Level talent meant this guy was one-in-a-million—a super talent possibly even rarer.

Even the sealed ancient hero Wenresa merely had a Rare Level talent.

Zong Shen could imagine this guy’s terrifying background from the past era; he wasn’t just a simple Tier Four wind mage.

Ignoring the so-called Divine Favorer, the Legendary Level talent alone elevated Kangnijiya’s Basic Attributes to a terrifying degree.

Based on Zong Shen’s experience, each talent upgrade increased corresponding Basic Attributes by approximately 25%.

What Zong Shen anticipated most were the skills mastered by this anomaly; it wasn’t excessive for him to comprehend powerful wind magic.

Excited and curious, Zong Shen clicked to view detailed attributes.
