Chapter 30: Miracle Person
“The level of a miracle doesn’t determine its strength.”
The old man is as knowledgeable as ever. He slowly explained to Bai Luo,
“It is more like a potential evaluation. It’s simply an indication of the degree of power they can grant to other creatures and their impact on the world. It isn’t a battle ranking.”
“What do you mean?”
Bai Luo still didn’t completely understand. The old man pondered for a moment before speaking again.
“Simply put, a bottom level miracle usually doesn’t have the ability to grant other people special powers,” the old man decided to use the basic sacred pouch as an example,
“Just like our sacred pouch. It can pour out various crops, which can greatly enhance our agricultural development.”
“For any country, food is a vital strategic resource.”
“With food, people can live, the population can grow, and a nation can prosper.”
Therefore, the basic sacred pouch can help boost any country’s population, and provide a variety and abundance of products.
Putting it in the ancient times of Bai Luo’s past life, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to become a god of agriculture with it.
“However, although the miracle pouch can have a great effect on our life and even the population of an entire country, it can’t grant us any special ability.”
This is the limitation of bottom-level miracles.
It can make people’s life more convenient and comfortable, but it can hardly grant people special powers.
“Next is the low-level miracles, such as Shirley.”
“Shirley is a Pegasus, she possesses mystical power. Moreover, not only does she have power, but she can also bestow it on other creatures,” the old man took a deep whiff of his pipe and continued,
“The beings who receive her gift will also get the same mystical power. Of course, the scale would be completely different”
“Over time, a whole new race will appear.”
“Most miracle creatures have the ability to gift power, and being able to create a miracle race is the standard of low-level miracles,” said the old man,
“In contrast, medium-level miracles are even more powerful.”
Saros seriously said,
“Medium-level miracles can create a whole new power system, just like the magic you mentioned before, and its ultimate path is to build a miracle country and civilization.”
This is no longer just creating a new race, but creating an unprecedented nation, with countless individuals capable of superhuman feats.
“Then, what about high-level miracles?”
“High…”
Saros was unsure of what to say. After a few moments, he opened his mouth.
“The Iron Eagle Kingdom has no high-level miracles, even the Iron Eagle King’s miracle is only medium-level.”
“So I don’t know much about high-level miracles. The only thing I know is that a high-level miracle has unimaginable destructive power. It’s capable of destroying a country by itself!”
“…”
A high-level miracle can wipe out a country!
“I heard that the Great Northern Empire in the north has a high-level miracle.”
“However, I don’t have the slightest clue on what it could be,” the old man shook his head and said,
The essence of miracles is too mysterious.
It is difficult for outsiders to reversely deduce whether the original miracle is a miracle creature or item simply through a display of their miracle power.
“Speaking of which, are there only two types of miracles?”
Of the three miracles that Bai Luo got, the basic sacred pouch is a miracle item, and Shirley and Lilith are miracle creatures.
“There are many types of miracles, as far as I know…”
The old man took another whiff of his pipe before continuing,
“There are miracle creatures, miracle items, miracle humans, miracle buildings, miracle resources, miracle races, etc….”
“The miracle of the Iron Eagle King, the stone that I told you about before is a medium-level miracle resource,” Saros calmly said,
“It has formed a mine filled mystical energy. The miracle ore extracted from that mine brought them unparalleled power and almost endless energy.”
It’s not difficult to understand how ores are used. Whether it’s forging weapons or items, getting imbued on various objects, or using it as an energy source, there are various uses for ores.
“There are two main reasons why the nobles of the Iron Eagle Kingdom covet us, the Ardennes. One of them is for research about miracle power and its effect on creatures. More specifically, humans.”
The old man solemnly said,
“I heard that the Iron Eagle King orders his subordinate to excavate magic ore, then grind it into powder and force others to consume it. “
Miracle energy is not an elixir. Its benefits and dangers vary from person to person, depending on their physiology, character, talent, and other characteristics.
Those who can adapt to it are blessed. However, to those that are unable to adapt, it’s the most terrifying poison in the world.
“The physique of the Ardennes is much tougher than ordinary people, hence many miracle masters like to capture and use us for experiments.”
“…”
Bai Luo had often wondered why miracle masters like to persecute the Ardennes, but he never imagined that it would be for such a reason.
“Cruel? Inhuman?”
The old man shook his head and emotionally said,
“Those miracle masters have long stopped considering themselves human, they are more than inhuman.”
Saros encountered many miracle masters during his youth. He knew too well about the way of thinking of these people.
“What about the other reason?”
“It’s for the power of the Arden clan.”
The old man didn’t explain in detail, because Bai Luo can’t awaken the power of the Arden clan. At least he can’t do it now.
“With Lilith, we finally have the capital to fight with the Iron Eagle King.”
The old man continued to portray Lilith’s power to Bai Luo,
“A low-level miracle and a medium-level miracle might not be much different in terms of combat power and miracle energy reserve, but the miracle power that low-level miracles can grant other creatures is no match for medium-level miracles.”
Using a pipe as an example, the size of the pipe connecting the energy reserves of a medium-level miracle to the outside world is much bigger than that of a low-level miracle.
Hence, during the same period, the miracle energy overflowing from a medium-level miracle is much greater than that of a low-level miracle.
Previously, the Ardennes just had Shirley.
Relying on just Pegasus Shirley, they might be able to fight against the Iron Eagle King, but there would be a gap after all.
The production speed of Miracle energy, and how quickly it is restored after a war are very important factors.
Even one-on-one, with a low-level miracle, it would be difficult for the Ardennes to challenge the Iron Eagle King.
Not to mention that other miracle masters from the same camp as the Iron Eagle King would definitely take action.
However, things have changed now, Lilith’s appearance has created a whole new path for the Ardennes, greatly increasing the Ardennes’ output of miracle energy.
With the quantity and quality of miracles that Arden now possesses, even it can’t be compared to half of the Iron Eagle Kingdom, it should be able to compare with a third of it.
More importantly, these miracles belong to Bai Luo alone! They are extremely united, cutting off any possibility of infighting or betrayal.
“Our unparalleled unity is our greatest advantage!”
The old man was looking forward to what kind of changes Lilith, the medium miracle, would bring to Arden.
“Boss, teacher!”
Noel suddenly ran over, his face filled with anxiety,
“Look at this!”
Noel raised his hand and asked,
“Teacher, do you know what this is?”
An extremely odd creature was struggling in Noel’s hands.
It was a fist-sized mushroom just like pine mushrooms, but unlike ordinary mushrooms, it had hands, feet, and eyes.
“Whoa, ahh, ahh…”
The little creature constantly waved its limbs around, thrashing in Noel’s hand, but it couldn’t break free.
Looking at it, it’s actually a bit cartoonish, making it look quite cute.
“What is this? A mushroom man?”
“I don’t know.”
Noel quickly said,
“But a large number of them suddenly ran out of the forest, hundreds to thousands, and they all surrounded us!”
Bai Luo could feel the miracle energy flowing through the little mushroom man. It’s his.
With just a thought, Bai Luo took back the miracle energy from the little mushroom man.
“What?”
Noel watched the mushroom man in his hand turn back into an ordinary mushroom with wide eyes. He was a bit confused,
“What the hell is going on? What is this thing? A miracle creature?”
“Hundreds, or thousands of miracle creatures?”
The old man said speechlessly,
“At that point, calling it a miracle race is more appropriate, but it’s not like a miracle race, but more like a miracle derivative.”
“Miracle derivative?”
Noel didn’t know what this meant, “Anyway, boss, you must take a look at this.”
“It must have been made by Lilith.”
Bai Luo sensed the miracle energy flowing around. It was Lilith’s miracle energy.
Hence, the three of them immediately left the tent, but after coming out, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
They saw countless mushroom people around the camp, like a mushroom ocean, almost endless.
“Holy crap!”
Bai Luo didn’t expect their number to be so exaggerated, he quickly summoned Shirley and Lilith through their soul connection.
“Master?”
“Master!”
The two of them suddenly appeared next to them in just a second, and Lilith was sitting on Shirley’s head. Bai Luo ignored this and quickly asked,
“What’s going on? What are those things? Lilith, did you make them?”
Although Bai Luo is Lilith’s master, he doesn’t know much about Lilith’s abilities. There are too many things that need exploration and experimentation.
“Um.”
Lilith didn’t seem proud of what she did, taking it as if she did something ordinary.
Bai Luo inquired about the circumstances and soon learned what happened.
It turns out that while Bai Luo was talking with uncle Saros and Issafeiya, Jerah picked some mushrooms from the forest and used them as a side dish in the rice porridge to make it more sweet and delicious.
At that time, little Helen, who was curiously following Lilith and pestering her, said ‘I love mushrooms’.
‘Are those things mushrooms?’
Lilith asked little Helen, ‘Do you like these things?’
‘Mmm!’
Little Helen replied happily and innocently said, ‘Mushrooms are delicious!’
Hence, Lilith waved her hands and said under the eyes of the children, ‘Here come the mushrooms!’
“…”
The crowd was puzzled, but soon, they heard the sound of cute and crisp footsteps.
It was like the sound of fluffy and elastic shoes. The ‘chirp chirp chirp’ sound it made when stepping on the ground stunned the crowd, but soon they found that the sound source was getting more and more numerous.
By the time they reacted, they saw a large group of mushroom people running out of every corner of the forest.
They came in all colors and shapes, edible and inedible, poisonous and non-poisonous, all hopped out from the forest.
“This…”
Bai Luo looked at Lilith, “Is it your ability?”
“Yes, master, Lilith called all the delicious mushrooms!”
Well, she did indeed bring mushrooms back, but, putting aside their taste for the moment, aren’t most of them inedible or poisonous?
“So this is your ability, can you make them go back first?”
“Okay.”
Lilith had just been born, she is still very pure and naive.
She happily fluttered beside Bai Luo, then waved her hand. All the mushroom people neatly turned around neatly and quickly retreated.
It wasn’t just that, Bai Luo even saw a lot of mushroom people running near the roots of the tree, adjusting their clothes just like humans and squatting down in front of the tree roots before finally transforming back into ordinary mushrooms.
“…”
This magical scene was something straight out of the fairy tales that Bai Luo recounted yesterday.
“They headed back.”
“Why did they leave? They’re obviously so cute.”
“Yeah, the bigger ones can be perfectly described by a word big brother Bai Luo used yesterday, what was that word again?”
“Moe?”
“Yes, yes, that’s it! They’re really moe!”
The girls seemed especially fond of these little creatures. They were very reluctant at their disappearance.
“I would really like to keep one.”
Bai Luo smiled wryly at the enthusiastic chatting. He looked at Lilith, and the little one tilted her head and asked,
“Did I do something wrong?”
“No, no!”
Bai Luo said with a smile, “It’s just a bit unexpected.”
After speaking, Bai Luo looked at the sky, it was getting late,
“Everyone quickly packs up, as for the things just now…”
“I’ll tell you later when we rest today.”
It’s hard for Bai Luo to explain because he didn’t know what happened just now, hence he could only tell everyone to continue their journey first. He will ask Lilith in private later on.
The Ardennes, especially those children…
Their hearts were full of curiosity. They constantly turned back along the way and looked at Bai Luo and Lilith.
Obviously, the appearance of creatures from fairy tales in the real world picked their curiosity, filling them with wonder and intrigue.
As for Bai Luo, he called Lilith aside.
It wasn’t until this time that Bai Luo had the chance to ask Lilith about her specific abilities.
“Lilith, what did you do just now? Why did those mushrooms become like that and move on their own?”
Bai Luo felt that his question was a bit retarded,
‘Magic! ! What else could it be but magic?!!’
‘Twenty years after transmigration, I, Bai Luo, had finally seen magic!’
