In the Amazon Kingdom, the title of consultant was not a low status. For example, the "Military Consultant Group of the Amazon Queen" was almost equivalent to the General Staff of the Amazon Kingdom.
However, the consultant itself was just a title without any real power. Their power came entirely from the trust of the employer, which allowed them to share part of the employer's rights.
Feng Chou's title as the Arcana Consultant of the Seventh Princess was completely a fake title. He had stayed in the governor's office for two weeks, and except for the regular meeting every Monday morning, he basically had nothing to do.
Just when Feng Chou began to think about whether he should ask the Seventh Princess for a long vacation and explore the archipelago where the Bloodsail's nest was located, the Seventh Princess's personal attendant came to inform him that the Princess wanted to see him.
This time, the Princess did not meet Feng Chou in the hall that he had visited several times before. Instead, she met him in an office on the top floor.
Although it was called an office, in Feng Chou's view, this room was more like a military command hall.
The attendant pushed open the thick oak door. Inside was a spacious hall with exposed rocks. In the inner part of the hall, there was a huge table big enough to sleep more than ten people. On the table was a map as big as the table.
Princess Nala and seven or eight of her trusted subordinates were discussing something around the map.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked up. When they saw Feng Chou, they stopped what they were doing and nodded at him.
Although the Amazonian women discriminated against men, they worshipped power more. As a Legend, Feng Chou was undoubtedly respected in the governor's office.
Princess Nala invited Feng Chou to her side, pointed to the map on the table, and said, "This is the map of the southern continent that I bought from the tieflings at a high price."
Feng Chou looked down and saw that the map depicted an oval-shaped continent.
The drawing method of this map was very similar to the drawing method of the magic map of the northern continent, but it was much cruder. It used different shades to show the terrain, blue lines of varying thickness to show the rivers, and arrows to show the north, south, east, and west on the map.
Princess Nala pointed to the left side of the map, at the northern end of the oval-shaped continent, which occupied more than a quarter of the entire continent, and said, "This is the Amazon rainforest …"
Princess Nala's finger traced across the northwest coast of the continent on the map and said, "This is our Amazon Kingdom. Although the Amazon Forest is named after the Amazon, in fact, our Amazon Kingdom only occupies less than one-twentieth of this forest."
Feng Chou looked in the direction of Princess Nala's finger. The coastal area on the map had many cities and villages marked with circles and dots of different sizes.
Most of the cities and towns in the Amazon Kingdom were located along the coast.
Before the invention of magic power and steam power, the Amazons once had the best navigational skills. This was not only reflected in their ability to control storms.
Amazon warriors above the intermediate level had an extremely sensitive perception of the wind. In the age of sail, there was no better sailor than the Amazon warriors.
Their keen perception of the wind also allowed the Amazon shipbuilders to build the best sailboats.
The Amazons were extremely dependent on the sea. They relied on the sea to transport goods and trade. They obtained most of their protein from the sea.
However, this advantage on the sea was gradually lost after magic energy and steam power became widespread.
…
Just as Feng Chou's thoughts were wandering, Princess Nala suddenly changed the topic. She abruptly asked Feng Chou, "Sir Erik, do you know about the Amazon Holy God Ritual?"
Feng Chou asked, "Are you talking about the sacred ritual that the Storm Goddess bestows the power of the Amazon warriors?"
Princess Nala said, "Yes, but you may not know that to hold the Amazon sacred ritual, you need the corresponding ritual offerings."
"For example, the sacred ritual to promote to an intermediate Amazon warrior requires the horn and blood essence of a thunder horn lizard. In addition to the blood essence of a wind owl, you also need more than ten soul crystals."
Feng Chou heard this and suddenly had a feeling of realization. In the northern continent, no matter how powerful a god was, the number of divine professionals under their command was limited. This point, even the Paladins under the powerful God of Light, or the Silver Moon Knights of the Arcane Church were no exception.
However, the Amazon warriors of the Storm Church completely violated this rule. The Amazon warriors, the divine profession of the Storm Church, were almost as rampant in the Amazon Kingdom as the warriors of the northern continent.
This was very frightening. One must know that a considerable part of the power of the church's divine professionals came from the gods, and the power of the gods in the world was not infinite. If the Amazon warriors were like the northern continent, where most of them came from the gods, then the power of the Storm Goddess was too terrifying. Even the most powerful god in the northern continent, the God of Light, could not compare to a tenth of it!
This was obviously impossible.
Therefore, Feng Chou had always been confused about this, and now he finally had an answer.
As an expert in bloodline rituals, it was not difficult for Feng Chou to infer from the magic materials needed for the Amazon Holy God Ritual that the Amazon Holy God Ritual should have the components and effects of bloodline rituals.
If Feng Chou's inference was correct, it could explain why the Storm Goddess could maintain so many divine professionals.
Most of the power of divine professionals came from the divine power bestowed by the gods, but the power of bloodline professionals came from their own bloodline. If the Amazon Holy God Ritual was only the divine version of bloodline rituals, then the Storm Goddess did not need to bestow divine power to the Amazon warriors every day. Naturally, she could expand the number of Amazon warriors infinitely.
Feng Chou's thoughts were in a mess as he heard Princess Nala say, "I think you have already guessed the reason why I invited you here, right?"
Feng Chou nodded. "You plan to hold the Holy God Ritual to advance to legendary?"
"That's right."
"Then what ritual offerings do you need?"
Princess Nala said, "The pituitary gland and blood essence of an adult feathered snake, the heart and blood essence of an adult wind roc."
"Or you can use the dragon crystal and blood essence of an old blue dragon to replace the heart and blood essence of the wind roc. The effect will be better."
"You also need more than forty soul gems."
Feng Chou was speechless for a moment. These three creatures were rare legendary species. Fortunately, they were in the southern continent. In the northern continent, these creatures had long become legends.
Princess Nala's next words made Feng Chou's heart beat faster. "If you can help me get these offerings, I will provide you with the information of a master arcane spell."
Although tempted, Feng Chou did not agree. He asked, "How many legends did the Princess invite?"
If there were no other Legendaries involved and he was the only one hunting a legendary creature, he would not seek death even if there was information on all types of arcana, let alone one type of arcana.
Princess Nala said, "Including you, there are three in total. A level-22 Storm Priest and a level-23 Thunder Queen."
Feng Chou nodded. "Thunder Queen" was a branch of the Amazon warriors after they advanced to legendary. Another famous branch was the "Storm Lord".
If there were two senior legendary professionals working together, it was not impossible to hunt legendary creatures.
