That night-

  Rilden, Astrid, Erose, a hundred elite soldiers and champions, and Wolfgang's tier 5 adjutant, Nefstain, wielding a bow and arrows despite his bulky figure, stood on top of a hill, looking at an ancient walnut tree hidden between two hills.

  "My Hero, are you sure this is the tree you saw in your vision? We have waited for an hour now." Astrid asked, looking at an ancient walnut tree between two hills.

  "My husband's vision is never wrong, prophetess. Please remember that." Erose, wearing grey full pte armor, coldly reminded under her helmet.

  "I am not questioning the authenticity of his words, but rather if we misinterpreted the location of his vision," Astrid replied, her ruby eyes clear.

  "It is fine to doubt, but even if we are off by a mile or two, we would see the golden light in the night sky," Rilden said, looking at the moon. "Midnight will soon arrive."

  Hum*

  Suddenly, the tree began shining gold, its trunk, leaves, and thousands of walnuts turned golden! The light was dazzling, shining in all directions!

  The barbarian soldiers were immediately riled up and excited, shouting in their nguage.

  Of course, Rilden didn't understand their words, but shared in their excitement.

  "We got the right tree!" Rilden grinned.

  "Pretty..." Erose muttered.

  "My Hero, I sense a coming battle. The phenomenon attracted wild monsters. It is as you said." Astrid suddenly said, looking around.

  "Rush to the tree and prepare for battle! Don't let the damn monsters eat our treasure!" Rilden ordered.

  Astrid nodded and gave the order, riling up the troops. They all rushed down and surrounded the tree, preparing for battle. Astrid began chanting a ritual, taking two daggers, and danced.

  Mere minutes ter, under the light of the golden tree, monsters appeared one after another, covetously eyeing the walnuts before looking with hostility at the human defenders.

  "Lát gue vígsins leiea ?xar Qhiion blóetorsta!" Astrid cast a spell in her nguage, her daggers shining with red light.

  Everyone's weapons suddenly shone bloody red, improving their power.

  "Hoh... so this is magic?" Rilden looked at his glowing red axe with intrigue.

  It was once Audbjorn's hand axe, but now it belonged to him.

  While he was thinking about that, the monsters gathered their strength, and three tier 4 monster leaders appeared.

  "ROAR!"

  Under the command of the monster leaders, the lesser monsters charged at the human defenders. Some flying monsters also sneakily flew toward the tree, wanting to snatch some walnuts.

  However, any flying monster that approached received an arrow from Nefstein, killing it. On the other hand, the ground monsters cshed with the defenders.

  Cng* Crash* Ssh* Chop* Spt* Crack*

  Rilden looked at the bloodshed while standing in the back, his soldiers effectively fighting and dispatching the monsters.

  "Really. If I didn't have these men with me, I wouldn't have dared to try snatching these walnuts." Rilden emotionally thought.

  Once enough lesser monsters died, the three tier 4 monster commanders charged forward and fought with Erose and two other champion warriors, but under the multiple blessings on them, they made short work of the monsters.

  Throughout the battle, Rilden didn't lift a finger.

  After this skirmish, several soldiers broke through a small realm under the blessing of , and most of their wounds healed. There were no casualties in this battle.

  "It is an excellent victory, my Hero!" Astrid excitedly reported to Rilden.

  "I grew slightly stronger," Erose added while cleaning her sword. While her realm didn't improve, the feedback improved her strength and talent.

  "Hm. Have the men gather the Golden Wisdom Walnuts and handle the carcasses! Everyone here will receive at least 20 tonight!" Rilden announced.

  Astrid smiled under her veil and repeated Rilden's words, causing the men to cheer in excitement. Who wouldn't be excited to eat a natural treasure?! At the same time, they were thankful for Rilden's generosity.

  "Our new hero is such a considerate leader!" They all thought.

  Of course, Rilden wouldn't easily share these walnuts if they didn't have a short shelf life. It was also a question of how many pounds of walnuts he could eat before being stuffed. He wasn't sure he could eat 150 walnuts.

  And sure enough, after the men picked the 2,500 golden walnuts and started eating them, Rilden felt stuffed after 100 walnuts, forcing him to stop eating. Still, his Comprehension reached 3.5 points, a pure 1.5 point gain!

  On the other hand, Erose only ate 41 before stopping. It wasn't because she couldn't eat more, but because they stopped affecting her. Astrid didn't eat more than one, since her Comprehension was over 4, so the tier 3 Golden Wisdom Walnuts didn't affect her.

  Nefstain was the one who benefited the most, eating 150 of them in one go due to his rger build.

  The rest of the walnuts were distributed to the soldiers, each receiving a boost to their intelligence. Several of them received such a huge transformation that they started howling curses in the air while grabbing their heads in frustration, including Nefstain.

  "What are they saying?" Rilden curiously asked Astrid.

  "They are menting their previous stupidity." Astrid amusedly said.

  "I know that feeling... Welcome to the world of worries." Rilden sympathized.

  Soon, everyone ate their walnuts and finished handling the carcasses before leaving.

  "My Hero, are you sure we should leave the tree and not cut it down?" Astrid curiously asked.

  "It will turn to dust at sunrise. Ignore it." Rilden regretfully shook his head.

  Would he, Rilden, previously a poor fellow, not cut down the tree if he could benefit from it?! Too bad the tree was like a bright meteor in the sky, dazzling before vanishing.

  Rilden and his men returned with their haul to their camp on the main road and got well-deserved rest while others handled carcasses.

  Wolfgang and several men returned in the early morning, bringing a giant bck snapping turtle with a decapitated head. Its head looked strangely draconic, its legs were cwed, and its tail was longer than usual and covered in scales.

  They then opened the shell and took out its internal organs, cooking them in pans, pots, or over a fire for breakfast.

  Among the parts, internal organs were distributed among elite and standard warriors with dragon, water, and turtle bloodlines, while regur meat was given to regur soldiers and tier 1 Junior Warriors.

  In particur, the turtle's penis was huge, weighing about 7 pounds.

  Rilden first carefully mentioned to Erose that the penis was the second best part, not wanting to disgust her, but he unexpectedly received a positive feedback.

  "Monster penises and testicles are considered a delicacy," Erose expined with a smile. "This portion is rge, so I pn on sharing some with Astrid."

  "I would be happy to partake in it! It is said to make the skin prettier and improve sexual health!" Astrid happily said, also eager to eat it.

  "Really?!" Erose's bck eyes lit up. Her non-existent sex drive always concerned her, and while she gave up hope on having children, she didn't want a dysfunctional marriage.

  "Yes, of course! I learned it from my mentor." Astrid nodded before eagerly looking at Rilden and spoke without shame, "My Hero, the testicles of a male Dragon Turtle should be the best part. Please eat them, and it would not only make you stronger but also make you mightier down there! It would help you conquer many women in bed!"

  Erose's cheeks blushed, and Rilden became embarrassed.

  "Barbarians have no shame about sexual things..." Rilden warily thought.

  Soon, they were served breakfast, and Rilden ate Dragon Turtle Nuts weighing a pound each. Surprisingly, they tasted like high-quality chicken.

  While eating them, he felt his warrior realm improve, and he felt a warmth down there and couldn't help but look more heatedly at Astrid and Erose. He would have considered inviting them to his tent if it were evening.

  Hum*

  After digesting his gains, Rilden improved by a whole realm, his body growing several times stronger. And more importantly-

  [The Bloodline Ability, , has upgraded due to your increase in strength.]

  [You have awakened a new Bloodline Ability: ]

  "Oh? and

  didn't improve? Aw..." Rilden was somewhat disappointed but was still happy that he got a new ability and got a new charge!

  [: Can reveal 4 pieces of beneficial future news once a day(4 charge remaining).]

  "Every addition is welcome." Rilden broadly smiled.

  He then checked his new ability and was stunned.

  [: Your eyes are mystical! When you focus, you can see the auras of all objects, living things, and the supernatural, and see through lies and illusions. You can also see an illusory path toward a location, item, or person you seek. The more specific and closer it is, the higher the accuracy. Use can strain the mind, and higher Comprehension can lower the strain.]

  "This..." Rilden muttered, blinking his eyes and subconsciously looking around.

  Nothing.

  Carefully, Rilden focused.

  His vision suddenly changed, everything turning greyish, and Rilden saw different-colored auras on everyone.

  Looking at his hands, Rilden saw a transparent aura, covered by a red one. Then, looking at Erose, she had a powerful grey aura, but her heart carried a faint red mark that seemed close to him. However, he saw two deathly marks on her lower stomach, as if something was dead there.

  Turning to Astrid, her aura was blood-red, and she looked lively and healthy.

  He then looked at everyone in the camp and saw different-colored auras, some weak and some strong. But all of them carried a small red mark in their hearts. Trees also had faint green auras, and the turtle meat had a blueish color with the shape of a Dragon Turtle.

  "Wow..." Rilden thought, "I wonder what I can see... Hm... Tulens!"

  Suddenly, Rilden saw a white stable path leading in the opposite direction.

  "Oh! Amazing." Rilden thought.

  Then, after thinking for a bit, he tried something else, "Lead me to the one who loves me the most."

  A path suddenly formed, leading to Astrid.

  "Hah... that somehow doesn't seem right. Is it because of my identity?" Rilden thought and decided to reword it, "Who loves me the most for who I am?"

  Suddenly, the path changed, leading to Erose.

  "Aw... she is such a silent sweetheart." Rilden felt his heart warm up.

  He then thought about it again and changed his wording, "Lead me to the one who is the most loyal to me."

  The path suddenly split into two, leading to both Erose and Astrid.

  "Hah... So they are both equally loyal to me?" Rilden was surprised but still nodded.

  He then thought of something naughty and asked, "Lead me to the one who wants to have sex with me the most."

  The split path suddenly changed to Astrid.

  "I... should have known?" Rilden warily thought.

  Sensing his gaze, Astrid looked at Rilden with her ruby eyes, carrying an unhidden and amorous desire.

  Even as a virgin, Rilden understood that if he even mentioned it, Astrid would crawl into his bed. An especially tempting thought now that he had received an enhancement down there.

  "I... maybe I'll do that in the evening?" Rilden had that random thought and deactivated his vision.

  He then checked his status.

  "Yeah... I should probably do that." Rilden warily thought.

  Then, he checked his daily prophecies.
