"Ahem." Bobo cleared his throat and stood on the bench, looking very official.
"The ’Night Watcher’ is the organization we belong to, and its meaning is..."
As Bobo narrated, the two gradually understood, and even their eyes sparkled with "light."
"To become one of us, you must swear an oath, an oath..."
Clearly, Bobo had the procedure well-documented in books, and whether it was narration or the oath process, everything seemed very orderly.
Kana watched from the side.
He had to observe from an outsider’s perspective to see what needed to change.
As the oath proceeded.
The entire process had to be formalized, but it was indeed currently impossible, so this was only temporary.
Ideally, there should be a fixed venue for the ceremony, and it must have a sense of ritual.
Such oaths and actions highly emphasize the sense of ritual, swiftly allowing the person swearing the oath to identify with the ideology of the ’Night Watcher.’
To see themselves as one of them.
It would be best to have a solemn venue that fits, and according to the oath, it is best conducted at night.
Furthermore, there should be a professional narrator, a drill sergeant for newcomers.
As he observed, Kana’s mind became filled with more thoughts, yet all he could do was dream for now, as the conditions were what they were.
As Kecha and Rein took their oaths.
The first sensation they felt was being watched by the world, a feeling that was utterly "lethal" to them.
Their entire bodies trembled with excitement.
It seemed that the world understood far more than they did; just this alone was enough to firmly set the people who swore the oath on their path.
This was an ineffable sense of mission.
It made Kecha and Rein feel that they were chosen by the world.
"I will grant you power, which will transform into the sword and armor in your hands, into the torch you hold high."
As Kana approached, Kecha and Rein knelt half-bowed to the ground.
Kana extended his index finger, touching their foreheads.
Then he looked at Bobo.
The implication was clear; the systematic narration was left to Bobo to handle.
With the narration, Kecha and Rein were naturally astonished.
Kana glanced at the attributes of the two.
It could be said that their attributes were remarkably close.
[Characters: Kecha/Rein]
[Experience: 36/1000]
[Status: Oath of Salvation]
[Blood Volume: 24/24][24/24]
[Magic Power: 10/10][12/12]
[Constitution: 12][12]
[Evaluation: The pinnacle achievable by an ordinary human, verging on elite.]
Aside from some differences in agility and spirit, everything else was the same.
After the two calmed their excitement.
Kana smiled and said, "We’ll study it later."
He knocked on the table, addressing the map on top: "The settlement is building a village, and during this period we can’t help much.
Let’s take this opportunity to explore the surroundings and get a sense of the situation."
Saying so, he pointed to a section of the map with his finger: "This time, our goal is here; if everything goes as planned, there should be a relic.
By then, we’ll see if there’s anything we can gain from the relic."
Having said that, he pointed to the prairie again: "Ideally, we can finish exploring within a week so that once George returns, we can work on solving the issue with the prairie relic."
No one objected to Kana’s arrangement; they had no understanding of the place.
"So, let’s prepare individually now; at noon, we’ll prepare to set off, bringing food and water.
Blake, go find Yara and ask if there’s any antidote left in stock and bring some."
"Antidote?" Blake was a bit puzzled but nodded.
"Kecha, Rein, you both prepare some flammable materials."
After leaving the tent, Kana hadn’t made it far when he heard the sound of hooves.
Raelia approached them, occasionally turning to glance at the camp.
"You guys are quite efficient in your actions; it won’t be long before a village rises here."
After all, how much time has passed? At most one day.
Some foundations and frameworks of various houses were already being constructed.
I must admit, those two ogres were incredibly useful.
Many soldiers and villagers internally praised Kana’s foresight.
"Of course, they need a home after all."
"I didn’t expect you to understand anyway, so why did you suddenly come looking for me? Let me say upfront, I’m busy now; I don’t have time to spar with you." Kana said directly.
"Heh, I didn’t come voluntarily. Abis thought you might need help, so he sent me to assist you."
"Help?" Kana furrowed his brow, vaguely understanding.
Did Abis have such an ability?
Abis died too soon, not showing much strength, and was sacrificed within the seal of the relic.
Raelia glanced at him, snorted softly, and with some pride said, "The wind will bring information to Abis."
Understood, the Shaman works this way.
It seems Abis was highly gifted in the way of the Shaman, even more than Kana had imagined. Thinking back, without such talent, she couldn’t have sealed the relic shortly after becoming a Shaman.
"Can the wind speak?" Alyris asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The wind is everywhere."
