Richard looked at Ulysses with some surprise.
"Ga, but this method needs a little Power of Faith. Do you want to see it?" Ulysses asked.
Richard's expression tightened upon hearing this. He didn't have much Power of Faith on hand, a kind of power that could save his life at critical moments, and he still didn't have a stable source to acquire it. It was literally a diminishing resource every time he used it.
"How much is needed?"
"Ga, not much, just a little bit."
Ulysses saw Richard's hesitation and then added, "Ga, those little guys have already started producing the Power of Faith; this bit of power will come back in a few years."
Richard's expression relaxed a bit, and he nodded at Ulysses.
A faint wave of energy emanated from Ulysses' body, and then, with a flick of his wing in the air, a complex Rune appeared.
