Ultimately, Donahue accepted Liens's 'gift.' Not only him, but Balder and the others also temporarily put aside what they were doing and rushed over to receive this bestowal.
After all, such an opportunity was rare; experience at Liens's level was not something one could easily obtain.
Even for Balder and the others, it was a significant opportunity that could greatly increase their chances of entering the Grandmaster Realm.
Thus, a scene unfolded in the corridor of Charles Manor where all the high-ranking members of the Rebel Army gathered, standing still with dazed expressions.
After some time, Lucrezia, who had received the 'gift' first, was the first to awaken. She quietly walked over to Liens's side, careful not to disturb the others who were still receiving the 'gift.'
Liens's voice sounded in Lucrezia's ear.
"This is a very valuable gift… With the insights I just gained, my understanding of the path I've chosen has become much clearer."
"Perhaps it won't be long before I can attempt to establish a connection with the world."
Lucrezia replied via telepathy.
The smile on her face deepened, looking very satisfied with this harvest.
The key to entering the Grandmaster Realm is to establish a connection with the world, which is actually very much about fate.
Some people clearly understand what is needed to enter the Grandmaster Realm, so they continuously enhance their understanding of the world to increase the probability of establishing a connection with it.
Just like Lucrezia now.
Others are highly talented, or perhaps lucky, and through serendipitous opportunities, they achieve goals that many pursue their entire lives without success.
One is deliberate, the other is spontaneous; it's hard to compare which method is better. One can only say that no matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat.
As for Balder and the others, Liens had considered whether he should give them this 'Grandmaster gift package.' Understanding too much might make them pursue the Grandmaster Realm more deliberately.
But then he considered that each of them was a powerful Second-Tier expert, not as ignorant as he was back then, and had more or less already come into contact with the Grandmaster Realm.
Therefore, taking the 'deliberate' path might be more suitable for them.
After some more time, Isabelle regained her senses. Upon waking, her first action was to look at Liens with a complex expression.
That night, Lucrezia said that what Liens would explain would be very 'miscellaneous.' At the time, she didn't quite understand how 'miscellaneous' it truly was.
It wasn't so much 'miscellaneous' as it was too profound and involved numerous fields.
From body structure to magical elements, from phenomenological principles to spatial concepts, it could be said that the information Liens transmitted to them could already form a very thick treatise on world analysis.
Facing this 'treatise,' she experienced her own ignorance for the first time.
Many concepts, she was learning for the first time, such as the 'Causal Anchor Point' and 'Belief' recorded within.
Although Liens had provided detailed explanations and methods for perceiving and capturing such conceptual information, it was difficult enough just to understand the explanations, let alone perceive those concepts.
The more similar content she saw, the more she wondered if she was a fool.
Thoughts raced through her mind, and Isabelle quickly suppressed her self-doubt. She also quietly walked to Lucrezia's side, silently waiting for the others to wake up.
Not long after, the others also woke up one after another; some were deep in thought, while others looked troubled.
Uria walked up to Liens, his face pale, and placed his hands on Liens's shoulders, looking at him earnestly as he said:
"The information is excellent and incredibly beneficial, but you think too highly of us."
"Next time you want to give something to others, you should first check their level and try to compile a corresponding simplified version."
Uria gave a bitter smile.
"Aside from a few contents related to the body and fire elements, I couldn't understand most of it. It felt like knowledge was passing through my mind, glancing at me, and then disdainfully walking away."
"Some things I completely didn't understand, which was fine, but understanding just a little bit was the most unbearable; it felt like being rubbed into the ground by knowledge."
"For most of the latter part, I completely gave up resisting, feeling like I was being overwhelmed by all that constantly flowing knowledge."
Donahue, Cruz, and the others, who also looked distressed, nodded frantically in agreement.
They never expected that at nearly forty years old, they would one day experience the pain of a child learning basic education.
"Then would you like to try again? This time, I'll give you the simplified version."
Liens raised his sword-finger, making a gesture as if to transmit information to Uria again.
Upon hearing this, Uria repeatedly backed away, shaking his head wildly: "Please leave this blessing for others. I feel that today's gains are more than enough for me."
Seeing this, Liens smiled, amused by Uria's reaction.
"With so much content, let alone you, even I, who have studied a variety of subjects, cannot fully understand it in a short amount of time."
"Much of the content is just to familiarize you with relevant concepts, so that you have something to refer to when making choices in the future, making it easier to take the first step."
Liens explained his intention to everyone.
It wasn't that he couldn't provide targeted content based on their respective professions, but this 'Grandmaster gift package' wasn't about teaching people how to do things, but rather about broadening their horizons.
"Thank you, Liens. With this gift from you, everyone's strength should improve in the future, and our chances of success will also become greater."
Balder solemnly expressed gratitude to Liens on behalf of everyone.
"I'm glad I could help everyone…"
Liens was about to politely say it was nothing, but a faint killing intent from a distance instantly made his expression serious.
Almost simultaneously, Lucrezia said gravely, "They've arrived."
As her words fell, the others immediately saw the circular wooden pieces they carried light up with dazzling white light, and at the same time, red arrows appeared on the wooden pieces, pointing northwest.
This was a simple warning device Lucrezia had made based on the previously arranged warning ritual, its purpose being to receive the signal when the ritual was triggered.
It was mainly prepared for the others. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net
After all, if the ritual was triggered, they naturally needed to understand the situation immediately and rush over quickly; waiting for Lucrezia to transmit an explanation might be too late.
Without hesitation, everyone quickly headed towards the suburban area in the northwest direction.
Seeing the sudden magical light, Alfred knew they had triggered the magical ritual and exposed their whereabouts.
"Lord Alfred, this is just a simple warning magic, it has no offensive power, and the magic power within it carries Lucrezia's aura."
Ralph immediately analyzed the situation of the magic ritual and reported to Alfred.
"A very clever design. It seems her magic has improved significantly."
Alfred surveyed the surrounding environment, a hint of surprise on his face.
He wasn't surprised that the other side had set up warning measures, but being able to step into the magic's range without him noticing truly astonished him a bit.
"They're here! Lord Alfred."
Grover, who was beside him, suddenly shouted.
And as he spoke, Alfred looked up into the sky.
He saw a figure rapidly rushing towards them from the sky, moving at an incredibly high speed, already exceeding the speed of sound, yet there was no sound whatsoever during its movement.
In just a few breaths, that figure blocked the path in front of the three of them.
