Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 472 - 7: Do You Have a Dream? (3)

Now that Alse has really succeeded, Bain doesn’t know how to face Luo De.

Faith is everything, what if he accidentally says the wrong thing?

Luo De, seeing Bain’s cautious demeanor, could understand his feelings.

"It’s fine, you’ll get used to it."

Luo De consoled, "Wolfhoof Tucson and the others call me their Saint Master, but we interact normally, dining at the same table."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Luo De gave Bain some time to digest.

"Alright, okay, my Lord."

Bain retreated nervously, nearly knocking over a hammer onto his own hoof.

Luo De shook his head helplessly.

The Yak People truly value their faith highly, unlike the Lizardman Great Shaman who wants to seize the faith in the White Dragon.

"Oh right,"

Luo De turned and instructed softly, "Have Avril investigate the information about believers gaining power through prayer."

"Understood."

Vivian nodded in response.

Luo De then returned to his forge to continue crafting Armor-Piercing Arrowheads.

Alse’s prayers seem to recover energy slowly, not ending until dusk.

Additionally, Luo De thought about giving Alse time to familiarize himself with the runes.

Therefore, Luo De didn’t wait long, instructing Bain to test again tomorrow before returning to the manor.

When Luo De, with Vivian, entered the lord’s hall, they saw Avril already seated at the table, holding a teacup, quietly reading the classics.

Even though she held a wooden cup, she looked like an elegant noble lady, full of knowledge.

"So early today?"

Luo De was somewhat surprised to see Avril.

"Yes, yes, after letting them meditate on their own, I just came back to check data."

Avril pushed the classic onto the main table, explaining:

"There is indeed some information you mentioned, about training through prayer or spirit communication, typically it’s priests or shamans."

"Hmm?"

Luo De asked with some confusion, "Shouldn’t there also be Evil Mages?"

"No, dear, these are completely different."

Avril explained, "Evil Mages rely on the gifts of powerful beings, while priests and shamans depend more on self-prayer."

"Although priests and shamans can also grow stronger due to blessings, that’s just an added growth."

"Wait, are you saying that priests and shamans can gain power just by praying?"

Luo De was a bit surprised, "Where does the energy come from?"

"This is very mysterious, wizards speculate, it comes from spiritual power, willpower, and latent potential, such as awakened bloodlines, lingering blessings, etc."

Avril pointed to a passage on the page,

"That power is not bestowed directly by gods, but is the spark buried in blood and bone."

"Praying is not pleading for the mercy of gods, it’s telling oneself—"

"If I still believe he has never left, I can force myself to take the next step."

Luo De nodded thoughtfully, "Interesting, like the potential of the creature itself being triggered?"

"You could understand it that way, this trigger process draws from one’s Power of Faith and free energy."

Avril explained:

"When a person submits absolutely and devoutly to a great image, the extra distractions in the mind are suppressed, allowing them to focus intensely on one task."

"According to wizards, the essence of prayer is basically the same as the principle of meditation, but prayer requires an anchor to focus the will."

"Like a deity."

"Additionally, the most devout believers can establish a connection with the deity through prayer, using the deity as a spiritual anchor point to connect with other believers, drawing on their Power of Faith."

"They are generally called Saints."

Avril explained with a smile, "And the deities can naturally also absorb the Power of Faith from these believers."

"Yes, I know that."

Luo De pondered.

Therefore, he is not a deity, but Alse can still meditate with him as a spiritual anchor.

However, Luo De himself cannot absorb the Power of Faith emitted by Alse, only picking up a little through the connection with the natural seed.

"Yes, yes, so it’s not surprising that Alse’s prayers to you could succeed."

Avril nodded, and then a look of doubt appeared in her eyes,

"There’s only one thing puzzling, why was he able to successfully establish a spiritual anchor point with you as the target? Logically, the target needs a very strong spiritual power to establish a connection, or a closer connection..."

"Like between us?" Luo De inquired.

"Not just that."

Avril explained, "It’s a spiritual connection, like the telepathy of twins."

"This..."

Avril’s words instantly made Luo De more enlightened.

The natural seed he planted strengthened his connection with Alse, making it easy to establish a spiritual anchor, and added to the fact he treats the Yak People well.

That’s why the other party would think to pray to him, and it succeeded.

Luo De couldn’t say this, just smiled,

"Perhaps it’s because I care for the people of Frost Leaf Town, and they have me in their hearts too."

"Then can I also pray to you?"

Avril rested her chin on her hand, looking at Luo De with sparkling eyes.

"Of course, but it depends on the timing."

Luo De sat down and put his arm around Avril, his smile somewhat mysterious,

"I will surely respond, but sometimes fiercely, sometimes gently."

Avril was clearly stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding Luo De’s words.

Vivian leaned in and whispered a few words, Avril’s cheeks instantly turned red.

Just as the three were about to say something, a knock on the door suddenly sounded,

"My lord, Knight Durant requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Luo De released Avril and sat upright, Durant then walked in.

"Baron, the Night Language Association has sent a message back."

After saluting, Durant quickly presented the wooden tube to Luo De.

Vivian took it and opened it, presenting it to Luo De.

Luo De quickly read it, a look of delight on his face,

"Things are on their way back."
