Chapter 26: Chapter 21: The Battle of Revenge (4000 words, combined)
The people of Yatun formed a circle, and under the leadership of the elder uncle, they once again carried out the Miracle Oath ceremony.
Yes, that's the one. The ceremony where one kneels on the ground for three minutes.
"..."
Dressed in the Silver Mane Coat, Bailuo watched the devout crowd. He didn't quite understand the significance of the ceremony, but for now, he could only stand still like a statue, playing the role of the mascot.
Everyone was so serious, and Bailuo had to read the room.
However, most people would not encounter this kind of ceremony in their lifetime, and if they did, it would be at most once.
Yet the Yatun Clan had conducted the Miracle Oath ceremony twice in just half a month.
The elders who understood the significance of the miracle were inexpressibly excited at this moment.
The second item, the second one!
Bailuo found the second miracle!!
Soon, the ceremony concluded, and everyone was talking excitedly.
Compared to the elders, other people who did not know how rare the miracle was paid more attention to Shelly.
They saw Shelly carrying Bailuo on her back, surrounded by four horses kneeling with their heads bowed, touching the grass, as if vassals were worshipping a high and mighty queen.
Bailuo was the King of Yatun, and Shelly, she was the king of all horses!
"What is this?"
"A horse, but with wings."
"How amazing."
"Brother Bai Luo said this is called Pegasus, Pegasus Shelly."
"A flying horse, but is it a bird or a horse?
"..."
Shelly was surrounded by onlookers, but she didn't mind because the eyes of the people of Yatun were filled with reverence and admiration.
This was like when celebrities and important figures made an appearance, and the common folk craned their necks in anticipation, cheering and shouting.
Look at Inya, how envious she was! She so wished she could be in Shelly's place.
"Shelly, you've become a big star."
"Star?"
Bailuo didn't explain, he only said, "They are my vassals, and from now on, they will also be your vassals."
Miracles not only protect their king but also guard the king's nation, the king's vassals.
"Shelly will protect them!"
Shelly's feelings toward the people of Yatun were not bad; during the week she was recuperating here, Miya and Shuster often picked mountain fruits for her to eat.
The people of Yatun rarely had horses, apart from Shelly, there were only four.
"I heard this is a Miracle Creature. Are there so many kinds of miracles?"
Jiera and her brother John looked at Shelly from a distance, both of them filled with wonder: "What an extraordinary steed, I have never seen such a magnificent horse."
"And if it can fly, how should one deal with it?"
"Bow and arrows?"
Not just the siblings from Lu Lin, but also Nors and Fiona from the Baiying Family, were admiring Shelly with immense reverence.
Although they had encountered many monsters on their mountain adventures, none of them could compare to Shelly, not even Silver Mane.
Especially Nors, as a warrior, one of the strong members of the Yatun Clan, he could faintly feel the gap between himself and Shelly.
'If she were an enemy...'
'I would die!'
This wasn't just Nors's thought but the intuitive feeling of everyone present.
Shelly was very strong.
But just how strong, neither Bailuo nor Shelly herself was sure.
"A Miracle Creature, the second miracle, incredible, utterly unbelievable."
The elder uncle, rarely unsettled, clenched his trembling hand holding his pipe, looking at Bailuo with increasing happiness, even more thrilled than when Bailuo obtained the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch.
Because Bailuo had found the second miracle, he once again proved himself; he was the King chosen by fate!
Who else could win the lottery twice if not chosen by destiny?
Stumbling upon one miracle was one in a million.
But for the same person to find two miracles was unheard of, even to the elder uncle.
Perhaps in myths, but among the living, the elder uncle really did not know.
But now, Bailuo had done it, achieving what only kings in myths could do, and the elder uncle was proud of him.
Of course, there was another more important reason, which was that Bailuo's second miracle was a horse.
Even a fool knows that horses can be used in war!
This was a miracle with the power to fight!
"Great, this is just fantastic!"
The elder uncle excitedly slapped Bailuo's shoulder, saying, "With the Pegasus, oh, her name is Shelly, right? With this girl, we can develop a type of soldier and an army unique to Yatun."
"Type of soldier?"
Bailuo was familiar yet unfamiliar with the term: "But there's only one Shelly..."
Bailuo had heard the elder uncle say that Miracle Creatures are unique, irreplaceable.
"That's not a problem."
The elder uncle said, "Miracle Creatures are sources of Miracle Power; with the first one, a second and third will be born, eventually forming a new race."
"You mean to have Shelly produce offspring?"
"No, that's not called reproduction."
The elder uncle, knowledgeable about Miracle Creatures, said, "Miracle Creatures mostly do not have the ability to reproduce, but they contain extraordinary Miracle Power within them."
"By blessing ordinary species with Miracle Power, they become Offspring of Miracle, and even the more powerful Miracle Race."
Miracle Races and Miracle Creatures are interconnected.
Obtaining a Miracle Creature will surely lead to the development of a Miracle Race, sooner or later, and obtaining a Miracle Race also carries a chance of giving birth to the king of the race, the Miracle Creature.
However, Miracle Creatures are unique; there are no two identical Miracle Creatures in the world.
"So Shelly..."
"I still need to do some research," the elder uncle said, "Different Miracle Creatures have different ways of generating Miracle Descendants. We need to observe and see what the situation with Shelly is."
