Chapter 944: Chapter 12: Archmage? Arcane Lackey!

A faint divine radiance appeared.

Just as Duncan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, a faint glow suddenly emerged on his body, followed by an atmosphere of joy spreading in all directions. Even the others nearby couldn’t help but feel elated, instantly forgetting their worries and only feeling a surge of courage, unafraid of any challenge.

"It is the Lady’s divine grace!"

The jester’s expression lit up with joy as he knelt on one knee in front of Duncan, who was enveloped in the glow of joy. Following his lead, other members of the Scarlet Performer Sect hesitated for a moment before also kneeling on one knee, chanting ’Praise to Lady Joy’.

This one battle had brought the blessing of the Goddess of Joy.

Lady Sestha White stood by, her expression slightly anxious, as she had not yet had time to inform the Love Church. Although the Goddess of Love, Shunni, possessed mighty divine power, in the eastern part of the continent, only the Kormanthor area had a Great Divine Hall of their church, and that was the territory of the elves.

As for the nearby regions, such as the Vale, Sambia, and Dragon Bay, the Love Church had only small-scale sects in the major cities, their influence unable to overpower other church forces.

Lady Joy acted too swiftly.

Lady Sestha White hadn’t even had time to contact the church hierarchy, yet she wouldn’t give up easily. As soon as she could contact the bishop in Kormanthor, she was ready to poach from the other side.

"Recently, there has also been unrest in the former territory of the Neser Empire."

"The Vale is not safe either."

"The church needs such powerful individuals to maintain order."

The Saint’s Calamity was a chain reaction; although it had ended, it wouldn’t be long before the Shadow City returned—a floating city from the Neser era, a legacy of the Neser Empire. The Love Church, although rumored to be short-sighted among the populace, has influence throughout the upper echelons of society, with aristocratic connections, allowing them to see more and feel the turbulent times more keenly.

Duncan’s location, Sellragante, is geographically unique.

To the north lies the largest elven nation, the Kormanthor Forest, a place both protected by enchantments and ravaged by demons.

To the west is the largest desert, the Anoroch Desert, once the domain of the Neser Empire, where many floating cities fell.

Further down is Dragon Lake, where countless dragon eggs were said to have fallen from the sky like meteors. It is said to be one of the hatching sites of the many dragon eggs cast down by Ayo, the Nine-faced Dragon God, and a sacred site from the Era of Giants.

Further west are the Sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate, Deepwater City, and many other famous cities.

From the port of Sellragante eastward are the Pirate Isles, the shattered isles of the overseas archipelagos, the largest pirate stronghold in all of Ferren.

Further northeast lies the land of the Red Robed Wizard, the legendary evil realm, the stronghold of the Red Robed Wizard, Thay.

If you go southeast along the coast, you’ll reach Mulhandor, the landing place of the Earth Gods.

This is one of the gateways of the Fallen Star Sea.

Land of four battles!

The incarnation of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, Tiamat, after entering the Material Plane, headed east, seemingly intending to settle accounts with Jilga, but no one knew when she would act.

In such a critical location, neither the Joyous Faction nor the Wealth Church would give up easily.

The Wealth Church later moved to the Amn region because they simply couldn’t compete anymore.

They were driven from sea trade to land trade.

A massive defeat forced the future goddess of joy and the goddess of wealth to retreat to the west.

Lady Sestha White serves the Main God of the Bright Water Realm, active in major cities around the Fallen Star Sea to expand influence and maintain the interests of the Bright Water Realm Goddess Alliance in the east. From Dragon Lake to Dragon Bay, from the Eastern Bay to Alanbo Sea, it can be said that the trade routes around the Fallen Star Sea determine more than half of the trade flow across the entire continent of Ferren.

At the current time, the Sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate, and Amn can’t compare with the Fallen Star Sea.

Not to mention Lady Sestha White’s secret anxiety over how to poach key players.

At this moment, Duncan, bathed in the glow of divine grace, felt a stir of mana within himself. Soon after, on the projection page within the Dimension Space, a Magic Book extended from the position of his Mana Bar. The page opened to mark the divine spellcaster branch—Paladin’s Magic Book.

"Is casting a spell really this troublesome?"

Duncan opened the Magic Book before him and instantly felt overwhelmed as he saw a series of tables, which were the manifestation of the magic web; even priests relied on the magic web to cast spells, except they used a regional network, ultimately connecting to the Divine Spirit they believed in.

Mages use the public network, and priests use the private network.

Priests and spellcasters of the divine magic system make use of the magic web’s convenience, but they do not rely entirely on it.

"Is this considered a master mage?"

"Isn’t this more like a mage grandchild?"

"This isn’t just catching your throat; it’s like having a dog’s leash around your neck too!"

Duncan glanced at the Magic Book, his brow furrowed instantly.

As a divine magic system cleric, casting spells with the borrowed power of the divine spirit was so restricted, even more so for mages.

In the rumors among the populace of Ferren, mages are overwhelmingly powerful.
