《Emperor's Reign》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Aeron did not choose to [Relocate] the village as new buildings and walls would not be produced after placing it down again. So, instead he decided to make use of the walls that had already formed to protect the [Origin].
Therefore, he left Kay to guard the village and bring any villagers that spawned to Rising Sun Village. It would be an inconvenience to leave him here, however, it was better than taking the risk of someone finding an unprotected village or a beast destroying it.
Aeron and his soldiers escorted the villagers back to the main village. The [Militia] were made temporary army members and the warrior, Bellona, was given command of a patrol.
The village they captured also had a tailor who was assigned to work in the [Tailor] building and trade techniques with the Rising Sun Village's original tailor.
Bellona changed profession to a [Berserker] and the militia temporary helped out the villagers with construction and gathering activities until the next military reorganisation.
Bellona was given a Stage 1 tattoo of strength and some [Boar Hide Armour] as well as one of the copper grade greatswords the blacksmith had been making for the Berserkers before being sent to replace the defending patrol's leader.
That leader was assigned the newly returned patrol of soldiers, that had taken down the village with Aeron, and was immediately sent out in a new direction to hunt and scout.
After getting back, Aeron found out that Edmund had come by yesterday afternoon to drop off the 6 new villagers from the Celtic village. They had already settled into new roles in the village.
Today, Aeron was expecting two C Grades to spawn, and they did, along with 19 others.
He brought along the two C grades to the temple since the Nature Spirit had told him about a power it would be able to use today.

They walked into the temple in time to witness the birth of the second fairy. It was not as strong as the first as it lacked the [Firstborn] title, but it nevertheless added its strength to the blessing the village was under.
The Spirit of Nature looked more solid since he had first seen it, having condensed the leftover [Nature Power] from the ritual into its form.
"Greetings Your Majesty."
It said as it bowed.
Aeron nodded in acknowledgement.
"These two are C Grades, they should hopefully be enough."
He introduced.
"Yes, Your Majesty, though only for the lowest level. Which is fine as it is all I can manage to bestow with my current strength."
It replied.
Without further hesitation, the Spirit got the two to kneel in front of its altar, sending instructions into their mind by laying its incorporeal hand upon their heads.
"We are willing to serve the Spirit in its goal of aiding His Majesty."
The chanted in union.
They repeated it twice more and on the final utterance they were lifted into the air by a mysterious force.
"I accept you as my priests."
The Spirit said.
Green light radiated from the two floating villagers as the fairies looked on in awe.
The light condensed, covering the two like a cocoon.
The cocoons gradually shrunk until they disappeared into the bodies of the new priests.
Their old clothes had disappeared, being replaced with flowing green priest robes.
Just when they thought it was over, a pink radiance covered the room, coming from the Fairy Flower.
It bathed the priests in its light, and flower patterns gradually formed on their robes as some of the light was absorbed into their bodies.
The pink light gradually faded and the ceremony was over.

The two descended to the ground as the mysterious force disappeared.
They bowed to Aeron and then to the Spirit, showing deference to their Spirit and its master.
Curious, Aeron checked out the profession they had both gained.
[Nature Priest of Flowers] C+ Grade Civilian
Grants [Nature's Essence] Cultivation Technique, [Nature Power], [Fairy Familiar] Skill, [Nature Magic] Skill, +50% intelligence, +5% agility.
'Damn that's powerful.' Aeron thought.
However, it was not a profession without drawbacks.
As a civilian profession, the priests could not learn any weapon technique skills or benefit from any soldier buffs like the village speciality provided or the bonus stats from the army flag.
However, the benefits to having it definitely outweighed the negatives.
The cultivation technique would allow the priest to start on the path of cultivation with a technique that suited their profession and [Nature Power] would allow their magic to be a lot more powerful than druids of the same intelligence stat.
The [Fairy Familiar] Skill was already showing its worth as the new born fairy had bonded with one of the two priests whilst the [Firstborn] refused to do so. With the priests being able to order around the fairies effectively, Aeron could see the Flower Fairies' [Telepathy] being a crucial method of passing orders and reports across the battlefield.
Aeron had one try channelling the power and determined it was about half as strong as the King Boar's cultivation power.
Since the King Boar had been Stage 1, and the priests were currently Stage 0, Aeron determined that their [Nature Power] was half a Stage stronger than they were, allowing them to cast spells stronger than they should otherwise be or bend nature itself to their will.
Aeron looked forwards to their strength on the battlefield.
He turned to look at the Nature Spirit who was noticeably more transparent than before the ritual.
"You've done well."
He said.
"It's nothing Your Majesty. Making them priests may have exhausted a lot of my power, but any excess [Nature Power] they generate will go to me so it’s worth it in the long run."
The Spirit explained.
"Good. Make sure you train them well; I'll need to make use if them when the time comes."
He said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Spirit bowed.
"We live to serve."
The priests bowed as well.
He had noticed both of their Loyalty stats rapidly rose as they underwent the ceremony, becoming completely loyal at 100 points by the end of it.
Aeron nodded in acknowledgement and left the temple, leaving them behind to focus on their training.
