Lierla, the joyous dancer, chuckled softly. She lightly bit Duncan’s ear, like an enchanting demon of the world, and giggled, "Co to tonight, and I’ll show you what a real magnate is."
Salgant is a bustling comrcial tropolis where the power held by the magnates is beyond ordinary people’s imaginations.
Waukeen is a bitch.
Lierla is a slut.
In the eyes of many who do not revere these two goddesses, the magnates of Salgant possess similar characteristics to these divine spirits.
The Queen of Revelry is transitioning from joy to ecstasy.
However, for the internal factions of the sects, the hedonists of Salgant have remained a formidable force.
Especially with the presence of the Mother of Great Bliss, the reformists within the church have always viewed her as an obstacle.
"There are people who want to assassinate the Mother of Great Bliss."
"Which is why the previous human form was prematurely eliminated."
By now, Duncan had completely absorbed the mories.
But what surprised him was the complexity of this human form’s identity.
"A spy within a spy? Infernal Affairs?"
As Duncan reviewed mories sealed by a spell, mainly to counter detecting lies, he saw five lavishly dressed, beautiful, and alluring won.
The Five Fierce Won.
The ’Gold Lords’ of the Wealth Church, equivalent to bishop-level priests. They are devout followers of Waukeen and are the masterminds behind the human form’s allegiance to the Gold Lord of the Joy Church.
These five ’Gold’ priests believed that the disappearance of the Wealth Goddess couldn’t be separated from the Joy Goddess Lierla.
They needed to gather information from the other church.
As for the human form itself, their attitude was sowhat ambiguous, not particularly loyal to the Wealth Goddess, nor easily tempted and recruited by the Joy Goddess.
After personally experiencing the ’Saint’s Calamity,’ the human form developed even greater ambitions!
Unfortunately, their strength was too weak.
Before their ambition could truly materialize, they had already fallen victim to an assassination, and Duncan captured the human form.
As for who killed the human form.
It’s currently unclear, but there’s definitely a connection with the Dragon Worship Sect.
This is the information Duncan has gathered from analyzing the human form’s mories: the Saint’s Calamity has just ended, the Wealth Goddess has disappeared, the Joy Goddess is poaching followers, the Dragon Worship Sect is conducting secret activities, soone wants to assassinate the Mother of Great Bliss, and the magnates of Salgant all wish to vie for the position of Grand Commander, among other things.
As he surveys all this, his human form, a skilled protector akin to a dark guardian, responsible for safeguarding a great treasury, is being courted by various forces.
Even the Mother of Great Bliss has sent her maidservants to seduce him.
If the Saint’s Calamity hadn’t just ended with so many formidable figures active, the human form might have truly made a na for themselves in this chaos.
And now, Duncan has taken over everything.
He coldly surveyed the crowd enjoying the revelry, his gaze finally resting on the extraordinarily beautiful Mother of Great Bliss, Clanana.
There are two most important matters at hand.
First, who assassinated the human form?
Second, who wants to assassinate the Mother of Great Bliss, Clanana, beloved of the Joy Goddess Lierla?
One must know.
The responsibility that the human form pledged to was to ensure the safety of the Mother of Great Bliss.
Currently, according to Duncan’s information, there are three potential enemies. The first is the Dragon Worship Sect, who have always wanted to infiltrate the comrcial city of Salgant. The second is the reformist faction within the church, who believe the Mother of Great Bliss is decadent and even tempts and influences the goddess Lierla. The third is the goddess of torture and pain, Lavita, whose followers have always wanted to sacrifice the Mother of Great Bliss to their goddess.
In joy and pain, the Mother of Great Bliss is the perfect offering.
No matter which enemy it is, it ans that Duncan is currently caught in a vortex of strife, amid the overt and covert struggles of many forces. He can’t even move around rashly, because the Saint’s Calamity left many dangerous monsters, and the Slaughter Divine Son was also sown during this ti.
The Mother of Great Bliss must not die now.
If she were to die, both the Joy Church and the Wealth Church would place the human form in a very passive position.
