After hesitating for a long time, Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, kneel and offer our faith to the gods!”
He spoke, and everyone, including the leader of the knights, knelt and hit their heads on the ground.
Li Yu did the same, but he did not lower his head. He needed to see how the gods would react to his actions and whether they would show any disgust.
What made him sigh in relief was that the god did not seem disgusted, but neither did he seem joyful. The god was still looking at them.
The leader of the Knights secretly raised his head and reminded him softly, “Your Highness, we have only offered our own beliefs. There is no sacrifice to express our feelings, so we are unable to make the god happy and accept us. It is said that if this continues, the god will turn from neutral to disgust.”
Li Yu quickly asked, “Sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice is qualified?”
“I am not too sure, but I think that the rarer the sacrifice, the happier the god will be, and he will even build bridges with his believers.”
“Rarer the sacrifice?” Li Yu frowned slightly. He had been on the run, so he did not bring any other items with him.
The only thing that could be counted as rare was the world item passed down from generation to generation in the Bauhinia Kingdom, the Book of Wisdom. It was the nation’s treasure, but it had not had a new owner for more than a hundred years because it did not meet the conditions for it to recognize its master.
The Kingdom of Fire had been chasing after him all this time, and they were also eyeing this nation-protecting treasure.
The Book of Wisdom had been carried by Li Yu.
Could it be that the god was eyeing it?
Should they sacrifice it?
Li Yu did not hesitate for long. From the moment he had been able to live until now, it was all because the god had not killed him. There was no point in hiding it. Moreover, with his current ability, he could not take back the Bauhinia Kingdom.
The god would take care of their believers. Perhaps he would help him restore his kingdom.
Seeing Li Yu take out the nation’s most important treasure, the Book of Wisdom, the Knight leader was shocked. He could not help but say, “Prince, this is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Bauhinia kingdom. Are you going to sacrifice it?”
Li Yu nodded. “That’s right. I have thought it through. No matter how important the treasure is, even if we lose our lives, it will still belong to the Lord God. Even the 50,000 elites of the Kingdom of Fire were not a match for the Lord God. What else can we do?”
“Take the initiative to sacrifice and leave a good impression. You can also save everyone’s lives. I’m a prince. Listen to me.”
“This is for the sake of your lives.”
The members of the Knight Regiment did not say anything. However, Li Yu had heard his words and was even more loyal now.
Li Yu raised the Book of Wisdom above his head and, recalling the sacrificial books he had read before, said loudly, “Respected Lord God, as the heir of the Bauhinia Kingdom, I, Li Yu, am willing to become your follower. I will always spread your name and pray that the Lord God will accept the sacrifice of your followers. This is a world item, the Book of Wisdom.”
Everyone bowed again in unison with respectful expressions.
Luochuan had always been paying attention.
Seeing them turn around to communicate, he was very happy. This meant that these minions were intelligent.
However, it was difficult to understand their actions after that. First, they knelt on the ground and said something. Then, the leader of the minions and the minions behind them talked about something. Everyone knelt again.
This time, the leader of the minions held a small dot in his hand. Luochuan wanted to see what it was.
A voice sounded in the depths of his mind. “The heir of the Kingdom of Bauhinia, Li Yu, has brought the members of the Knights to pray to become your believers and sacrifice the world prop, the Book of Wisdom. Do you accept their faith?”
