At the banquet, being the unquestionable center of attention, how Leo Ray in his emperor robes accepted the admiration and reverence of the princes and nobles needs no further description.

Leo Ray also took this opportunity to further deepen and solidify the loyalty of non-subordinate nobles, making everyone feel grateful.

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Ariel Watson suddenly ran over with excitement, saluted Leo Ray, and said, "Reporting to Lord, we just received news that the three unconscious Stones of God have awakened!"

"Is that so? That's indeed good news."

Leo Ray put down the champagne glass, his eyes brightening involuntarily.

The role of the Stones of God is self-evident, and the corresponding Stone Spirits each have their own strengths, undoubtedly providing significant support.

"Earlier, I entrusted those three Stones of God to Gideon Black for careful guardianship; after so many days, they've finally awakened?"

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then nodded at Ariel Watson and said, "No wonder Gideon Black left the banquet halfway; he must have sensed something. As soon as the banquet ends, we will head over."

Before long, Leo Ray, Ariel Watson, and their main force subordinates appeared in a resting room not far from the Banquet Hall.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Just as the door opened, a slender and mature mage resembling Ariel Watson immediately stepped forward, the new image of Gideon Black.

As the subordinates of a subordinate, Gideon Black still maintained the respectful title from the Master-Servant Contract to Leo Ray.

Behind Gideon Black stood three unfamiliar figures, who immediately rose from the sofa with faces full of reverence.

"No need for formalities, you've worked hard."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, looking toward the three unfamiliar figures, and from the extremely special and familiar aura, they were indeed the transformed Stone Spirits.

These three figures were each quite special, one being a muscular man in gray mage robes, appearing extremely robust, almost tearing the robes apart.

The other two were identical delicate female figures, each with a pair of shining starry eyes on their refined faces; one wore a white robe with long hair, the other a black robe with short hair, clearly a pair of Twin Stone Sprites.

"Greetings, benefactor!"

Before Leo Ray could speak, the three Stone Spirits had already knelt before him.

"Please rise."

Leo Ray helped the Stone Spirits up, nodding, "So, you already know the whole story?"

"Reporting, benefactor, although we were imprisoned at the root of the Forbidden Tree and couldn't appear or speak, we were aware of everything happening outside."

The expression of gratitude on the face of the muscular Stone Spirit grew deeper, responding, "If it wasn't for you dispersing that profound and mighty darkness, we would have become kindling for the devastating blaze."

"Indeed, thanks to the benefactor's ability to avert disaster, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Our Stones of God are keys to truth, not cornerstones of destruction."

The starry eyes of the short-haired black-robed Stone Spirit equally reflected gratitude and respect, echoing.

As for the shy white-robed long-haired Stone Spirit, evidently a bit introverted, she expressed her deep gratitude by nodding fervently, conveying her thoughts through actions.

"A muscular hulk, a pair of twins—one introverted, one extroverted—though differing in many details, they seem as if carved from the same mold."

Leo Ray first glanced at Gideon Black, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark, then inquired about all details concerning the three Stone Spirits.

They were found by the Black Abyss Brotherhood, naturally not needing further explanation.

Upon discovery, they were completely imprisoned by the strong Malevolent Deity's Chosen Son and forcibly used as the foundation of the Forbidden Tree.

Considering the Malevolent Deity's Chosen Son stands opposed to the deities, he naturally wouldn't sign a contract with such special Divine Creations and become their owner.

In other words, the three Stone Spirits are currently ownerless.

Among them, the muscular Stone Spirit specializes in spiritual attacks, especially adept at interrogation and lie detection.

The extroverted short-haired black robe twin is skilled in shadow spells of stealth and destruction, while the introverted long-haired white robe excels in holy spells of healing and purification.

"Interesting, the muscular Stone Spirit, except not wearing glasses, is just like Gideon Black, like a new pair of twins."

"In comparison to Serena and Stella, the differences between the Twin Stone Sprites are obviously much greater."

After completely understanding the situation of the Stone Spirits, before Leo Ray could speak, the muscular Stone Spirit knelt on the ground again and said, "The benefactor not only saved us, but also gathered so many Stones of God companions, proving your extraordinary nature. Please recruit us under your banner!"

"Please recruit us under your banner!"

This time, the Twin Stone Sprites agreed simultaneously, echoing in unison.

"That's my intention."

Leo Ray nodded candidly, stepping aside to reveal Gideon Black, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark.

Regarding the choice for signing the contract, these three long-following old subordinates are undoubtedly the best option from every aspect.

"Thank you for the Lord's trust."

Gideon Black first saluted with a hand on his chest, pushing his gold-rimmed glasses while directly approaching the muscular Stone Spirit, examining him with great interest.

The Stone Spirit mirrored the expression, even imitating Gideon Black's gesture of pushing glasses.

After a while, the two muscular men laughed heartily together, patting each other's shoulders, clearly having found a mutual understanding.

As for the extroverted Serena with the short-haired black robe Stone Spirit, they naturally quickly familiarized themselves with each other.

The introverted Stella with the long-haired white robe Stone Spirit had a somewhat quiet atmosphere, though both sides several times wanted to speak first, they ultimately refrained due to mutual understanding.

Having noticed instances of unease, as Leo Ray considered whether to intervene to ease the awkwardness, the other pair of extroverted twins had evidently noticed.

Serena and the short-haired black robe Stone Spirit first saluted to Leo Ray, then joined Stella and the long-haired white robe Stone Spirit, beginning mutual introductions.

Although the Stone Spirits didn't have names, making introductions somewhat challenging, everything proceeded smoothly nonetheless.

Stella and the long-haired white robe Stone Spirit quickly found common topics, such as how to maintain elegance and avoid shyness in front of strangers.

Witnessing the scene, Leo Ray lightly raised his eyebrows.

With everything prepared, the next important moment was signing the contract.

Before long, accompanied by three dazzling golden lights shining one after another within the spacious resting room, as the radiance gradually faded, the three newly awakened Stone Spirits successfully became subordinates of Leo Ray's subordinates.

"Thus, after Little Jie, Little Illusion, Yoyo, and Gideon Black, I've obtained seven Stones of God now, undoubtedly a milestone achievement!"

Leo Ray watched his three subordinates giving names to the Stone Spirits, feeling cheerful and uplifted.

"It seems I've taken another big step towards the truth of this world."

As Leo Ray's excitement peaked, a prompt from mind talk quickly sounded.

Upon connecting, Asher Porter's respectful and urgent voice reached Leo Ray's ears: "Reporting to the Lord, the date on the Shadow Market invitation card has appeared, it's one week from now! After the date, the specific location for the assembly is marked as the entrance of the Inverted Gorge in the Outer Region!"

"Oh? It's really good news gathering together. I'll head over shortly."

After hearing Asher Porter's report, Leo Ray's face instantly showed joy.

Just as needed on the Commander Stage earlier, this is undoubtedly the key to further restoring several Land of Divine Favor locations.

In the midst of joy, Leo Ray's starry eyes revealed a trace of contemplation.
