How can you become stronger if you don't build up bonds?

Nado Wallis is a monarch whose appearance, personality, daily conduct, and handling of government affairs perfectly match Lin Wei's concept of a "wise ruler."

He is only one year younger than his older brother Eugene, and just turned 49 this year.

Black hair and black eyes are the most distinctive physical characteristics of the Kreddy lineage of the Wallis royal family.

Nado removed his crown ahead of time, exposing his meticulously styled, neatly trimmed short black hair to the air.

Kings generally do not have short hair; long hair makes them look more dignified and noble.

But Nado went against the grain, not only not growing long hair, but not even growing a beard, which contrasted sharply with his older brother Eugene's wild and unrestrained image.

This is quite in line with Lin Wei's aesthetic.

Nado's eyes were always full of insight and genuine concern. He looked at people with focus and peace, and even in front of his subjects, he did not have much of a condescending attitude.

Aside from formal occasions such as political discussions and meetings with guests, he lived a very simple life, sometimes even wearing clothes made of linen.

In fulfilling his duties as king, he was a true workaholic, handling government affairs and visiting people's homes from morning till night every day.

In short, Lin Wei could list many of Nado's merits in one breath.

That's why Lin Wei was so shocked when he heard that Eugene and his uncle had fought over the throne.

The shocking point is what Eugene's motives were for wanting to seize the throne.

In Lin Wei's eyes, Eugene's life as a duke was definitely much more comfortable than that of a king.

Just considering the women he has taken in, Nado has only had one queen so far, and not even a concubine.

While historical kings weren't as devoted as Nado, based on the information Lin Wei had, they typically married no more than three wives.

Furthermore, this world possesses a contraceptive magic without side effects, ensuring that all previous Kings of Wallis only had children with their principal wife, the Queen.

Don't you know what kind of person you are, Eugene?

It wasn't that Lin Wei was deliberately siding with his uncle, but rather that Nado was a really hard person to fault, while his own father, Eugene, was sometimes really hard to judge.

Upon meeting Nado face to face, Lin Wei bowed slightly and addressed him as "Your Majesty" out of respect for his status.

After being relieved of the pressure to survive, Lin Wei's style of doing things became more carefree, and he no longer needed to worry about small details.

Based solely on Nado's outstanding political achievements over the past twenty years and his benevolent treatment of the people under his rule, Lin Wei was willing to call him Your Majesty.

But before Lin Wei could even look up, Nado appeared before him as if in a flash, warmly grasping Lin Wei's hands:

"We're family, you can always call me Uncle, anywhere. Didn't Miss Luya come along today?"

"Well, Lucia has some things to take care of today..."

During the pleasantries, Lin Wei activated his "Card Selection" ability and first looked at Nado's "Affection Value" for him.

Admiration rating (Nado Wallis): 68%

To be honest, Lin Wei was a little surprised by this data.

He felt it was too high.

In Lin Wei's understanding, the word "dress" is the core of the word "love and respect".

Therefore, this data will naturally be higher when a person of lower status is facing a person of higher status, and lower when the situation is reversed.

Nado was both a close relative and an elder, as well as a king of noble status.

The idea that "the king loves others" sounds very incongruous.

Even with the "Chosen One" title, Lin Wei's estimate was just over 50%, and if Nado had a deeper inner world, that number would be even lower.

But now the facts are clear: his uncle really did "give him plenty of face."

There were also several unexpected things in Nado's data panel.

First of all, his level is 60, and his level cap is also 60.

In other words, he is currently at maximum level.

Even after removing the buffs, all the data points are still very high, making it a truly high-level character.

According to Lin Wei, Eugene's current level is close to 50 but not quite 50.

It's counterintuitive that a king who deals with state affairs day after day could be of a higher rank than a commander who frequently leads troops to hunt monsters!

In terms of synergy attributes, Nado also has three.

These are 'Wallis', 'Nature Mage', and 'Faith Builder'.

There were neither 'humans' nor 'kings'.

Currently, neither Luya, Tina, Grin, Nado, nor he himself possess the "human" affinity tag that they should have.

After a night of reflection, Lin Wei gradually gained some understanding of this phenomenon.

The inspiration for this understanding mainly comes from Green's eccentric statement: "A rigid sense of racial identity is an obstacle in the process of spiritual practice."

Lin Wei thought that the generation of a person's bond attributes might be strongly related to their sense of self-identity.

Green felt that rigid racial identity was an obstacle to spiritual practice, so he subjectively downplayed it.

Tina's deep-seated hatred stems from humans, so she doesn't want to share the same racial identity as her enemies.

Nado is because he focuses more on the nation; national identity is far more important to him than racial identity.

Luya might simply be too innocent; as for him...

Or do you prefer to believe that you are a human from Earth?

Matter determines consciousness, and consciousness, in turn, acts upon matter—that's roughly the logic...

Lin Wei couldn't think of a better explanation.

The "Faith Builder" on Nado's body looks very similar to the special bond of the "Creator Mage".

Unfortunately, his "Affection Value" is less than 70%, so Lin Wei can't see the effect of his blessing on this bond for the time being and can only speculate.

Faith is usually the exclusive domain of gods, and in many worldviews that Lin Wei is familiar with, the power of faith is a very magical force.

Does "faith builder" mean that Nado already wants to acquire the power of faith for his own use?

Lin Wei's first reaction was that this was a good road.

Because the presence of gods on the continent of Alama is not very high.

Greene has repeatedly hinted in conversations that most of the gods in this world may no longer exist.

But the power of faith does exist, and some of that power can automatically transform into various miraculous blessings; there have been such examples within their Holy Church.

Lin Wei himself is taking a wait-and-see approach to this viewpoint because he couldn't find anything similar in his own panel.

As the revered Prince Lin Wei, surely he could exchange his accumulated faith power for a small blessing?

But in terms of physical sensation, Lin Wei only felt that he was lucky, and didn't really feel anything else.

……

After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Wei, Nado respectfully bowed as a disciple towards the upper staircase.

"Your Majesty need not be so polite," Green's voice rang out from the surroundings.

Then, Nado looked at Lin Wei again with an extremely loving gaze:

"Nephew, you specifically sought me out; it must be related to the deployment of the Third Legion, right?"
