Chapter 929 - 7: Divine Grace of the Goddess of Joy (2)
During the struggle for the throne of the god of murder, Baal, the number of legendary heroes who perished could fill a truck.
"As soon as events involve the level of the Divine Spirit."
"Legendary heroes appear out of nowhere, one wonders where so many legendary figures were hiding."
Thinking of this, Duncan couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
Other Divine Churches have accumulated a variety of powerhouses over hundreds or thousands of years, but after enjoying pleasures for centuries, the Joy Church under the Mother of Great Bliss doesn’t have many acclaimed legendary figures.
No wonder the Lady of Love, the Lady Joy, the Lady of Wealth, and other Divine Spirits living in the Bright Water Realm must form alliances to address major crises.
The night deepens.
Duncan took some time to organize the intelligence. Currently, he sees two battle groups with strength.
One is in the hands of the Five Fierce Women, the Golden Battle Group of the Wealth Church. Its strength isn’t top-notch, but its equipment is absolutely luxurious, filled with powerful curiosities capable of shaking the various forces of the Starfall Sea.
The other is in the hands of the Mother of Great Bliss, the essence of the Joy Church, the Scarlet Performer Sect, small in number but not weak in overall strength.
"These two sects."
"If I acquire one, it would be enough to influence the situation in Sargant."
Duncan never considered developing in another place. Everywhere on the continent of Ferren has its masters, be they local forces, Divine Churches, or Dark Creatures. Not to mention other places, even stepping out of Sargant’s range would mean entering the activity area of the Dragon Worship Sect.
Understanding the Witch Demon a little.
Without a background or divine backing, it’s tough to gain a foothold when mingling outside.
A crisp bell sound rang out.
Duncan pushed the door open and saw several Joyful Priests coming out of the lounge. The leading middle-aged man was handsome, the Grandmaster of Revelry of the Joy Church - Cordo, he and the Joyous High Priest are the right and left hands of the Mother of Great Bliss.
The gaze directed at Duncan carried a hint of caution, seemingly due to Duncan’s rise affecting his power.
"Lord."
"Please come with me."
Vera, along with another priestess in a light purple long dress, came to greet him. The priestly robes of the Joy Church were colorful, and during revelry celebrations, they dressed like a rainbow, loving bright colors.
Duncan nodded calmly, following Vera to the villa behind the Divine Hall.
The Joyful Priestess in a light purple dress beside her walked in a catwalk style, her slender waist swaying gracefully, her full hips swaying slightly, occasionally glancing back at him, with a flirtatious glint in her eyes.
As a hot new favorite of the Joy Church, Vera rose directly to the rank of priestess for becoming his lover.
In front of a garden courtyard paved with marble.
When Duncan and his entourage arrived, the Mother of Great Bliss also emerged from the villa, having changed back into luxurious and brightly colored attire, with a skirt slit up to the thigh, and a top exposing almost half of a sphere. On both sides, the Joyful Priests wore tight-fitting clothes, regardless of gender, mainly in red, orange, and yellow.
The members of the Scarlet Performer Sect were the most flamboyantly dressed, with one leg in yellow, the other in red, one sleeve in orange, and the other in yellow, with the front of the outfit in orange and the back in red.
All the Joyful Priestesses wore low-cut, sleeveless cheongsams, embroidered with yellow, red, and orange patterns on the front.
Everyone was in grand dress.
Both men and women wore exquisite earrings, gem bracelets, ankle chains, waist chains, and full makeup. Many male members even had long hair, styled in a fashionable hairstyle.
A series of heavy footsteps sounded.
When Duncan’s robust and handsome figure appeared, unsurprisingly, without any adornment, still in a sleek outfit, with a greatsword on his back and a solemn expression, he drew many eyes.
Hehe.
From the corner of the garden courtyard came the light laughter of Joyful Priestesses, and many brightly and charmingly dressed figures stared at the heroic figure striding into the courtyard, causing the priestesses to whisper among themselves.
"That must be Duncan-Starfall."
"He is indeed as the rumors say, so rigid and uninteresting. This is the Mother of Great Bliss’s banquet, yet he’s dressed like this."
"And he’s carrying a weapon."
As expected, the next second, two revelry messengers stepped forward, stopping Duncan. At the hint of the Grandmaster of Revelry’s eyes, the two male attendants gestured for Duncan to remove his sword, or else he couldn’t enter.
Vera looked somewhat nervous, hurriedly stepping forward, whispering in Duncan’s ear, "There will be the church’s sacred ritual ’Unsheathing the Sword’ later."
"It’s best for you not to bring weapons inside, my lord."
Duncan stopped in his tracks, frowning silently, just staring at the men and women inside the garden courtyard in their grand attire.
Unsheathing the Sword, stripping armor?
Speechless.
Duncan didn’t know how to comment, he even thought of turning around and leaving directly.
"The Mother of Great Bliss has instructed that Lord Duncan does not need to unsheathe the sword."
At this moment, a bright young girl approached quickly, smiling friendly at Duncan, and scolded the revelry attendants beside her, "Why aren’t you moving aside quickly?"
The Grandmaster of Revelry’s eyes darkened at the side, his expression somewhat sinister.
One should know that "Unsheathing the Sword" is a sacred ritual of the Joy Church, yet today an exception was made for an outsider.
