Chapter 967: Chapter 19: The Love Church’s Network of Connections! (Part 3)

The storm is brewing, the wind fills the tower.

Lady Sestha White’s expression slightly changed, as if something came to her mind, and she murmured, "My lord’s Rose Knight Order has already reached the land of gold."

That’s three knight orders.

The main force of the Wealth Church is in the Golden Hall of Amn, and the Archbishop of Holy Coin is there too. Holding cards like two 2s and an Ace, going head-to-head with the two Evil God churches shouldn’t pose much problem.

Prince Yasang clearly wasn’t interested in the banquet arranged by the Mother of Great Bliss. Upon hearing Duncan’s words, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Lord Duncan."

"What is the current situation?"

"The Comer Kingdom has been in turmoil recently. Although I have agreed to the pleas for help from the Love Church, I cannot stay here for too long."

"These Purple Dragon Knights also need to return to their station quickly."

Neserigil is a formidable enemy, and those beastman warlords are no simple matter. His kingdom has long endured invasions.

Duncan pondered for a moment, motioning his silver dagger wanderer to roll out the map. He pointed to several locations and said, "Intelligence suggests that the enemy might be lurking in these areas."

"There are even financial tycoons offering them assistance."

The Mother of Great Bliss approached opportunely at this moment, glanced at the map, and her eyebrows furrowed, her chest heaving with rage, and she said harshly, "Feq-Silver Tongue!"

"That old thing actually betrayed us!"

Adults are speaking; kids should stay out of it.

Go sit aside.

Duncan cast a faint glance at the Mother of Great Bliss, who immediately put on an awkward expression and tactfully fell silent.

The Joyous High Priest’s reputation plummeted alongside the heavy losses of the Joy Church. Now seeing Duncan made her somewhat anxious, if not for her being the lover of the Joy Goddess, Lierla, she would’ve long abdicated the position to someone worthier.

A high probability is that the Joyous High Priest would take the position.

Without strength, there is no respect. She could still frolic and revel during peaceful times, but today, Duncan severely damaged the Bloodstain Cult, slayed a Divine Favored, and his prestige outstripped the Mother of Great Bliss who has led the church for over a decade.

But given the current situation, the Mother of Great Bliss occupying this position aligns with the interests of all parties, including Duncan’s own interests.

The ambitious Joyous High Priest cannot ascend anymore.

"He has deep ties with the Red Robe Mages’ concessions," Lady Sestha White whispered.

The Red Robe Mages had concessions in many places, which were later gradually revoked, but now is precisely when they are active.

Duncan slowly nodded, saying in a deep voice, "There’s a mole!"

Prince Yasang showed caution, remained calm and, after contemplating, said, "We can deal with this Feq-Silver Tongue, but we mustn’t go to war with the Red Robe Mages."

The Red Robe Mages are too vast.

Even the Necromancy School alone possesses power surpassing ordinary countries, and the undead armies they summon are troublesome.

Duncan glanced at him with a hint of approval, saying in a deep voice, "Then we must act quickly!"

"Before others react, hammer down the decision!"

Leave no excuse for the Red Robe Mages to engage in war.

Directly suppress them.

Nail Feq-Silver Tongue to the pillar of shame for colluding with the Evil God Church, then immediately announce the outcome to intimidate other financial tycoons and force concessions from the Red Robe Mages.

"This guy has hired a lot of spellcasters!"

The Mother of Great Bliss, sitting aside, murmured softly, "He is himself highly skilled in necromancy spells!"

With so many priests present, can’t they disperse a bit of undead?

Duncan rose, scrutinizing the Mother of Great Bliss before him, slowly saying, "Then the High Priestess should join the operation tonight as well!"

Hearing Duncan’s words, a fleeting excitement flitted across the Mother of Great Bliss’s eyes.

The group quickly split up to carry out their tasks.

As they were leaving, the expression on Prince Yasang’s face was a bit complex. He glanced at Lady Sestha White beside him and said subtly, "The Mother of Great Bliss seems to fear Lord Duncan?"

Lady Sestha White hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, choosing to shift the topic, saying, "Lord Duncan has close relations with the Wealth Church."

"Your Highness Yasang."

"Have you not always been troubled over how the goods of the Comer Kingdom can be shipped out after the beastmen sealed the Storm Mountains?"

"Once this battle is over."

"I believe Lord Duncan will be more than happy to assist you with this small favor!"

The female priests of the Love Church are not merely ornaments.

They are the most top-notch brokers.

Upon hearing Lady Sestha White’s words, a sudden gleam flashed in Prince Yasang’s eyes, as if he had realized something, and he immediately commanded, "Summon the Purple Dragon Knight Order!"

"Let us fight against evil!"

Only interests can be the ultimate driving force.

At this moment, Duncan’s standing in his eyes even surpassed that of the Mother of Great Bliss, for the Joy Church could not offer any aid to the Comer Kingdom, mired as it was in difficulties. It might even corrupt the kingdom’s virtue, causing the fierce and warlike nobles to become pleasure-seeking.

But Duncan, along with the Wealth Church behind him, was the powerful ally the Comer Kingdom had longed for amidst the flames of war.

Lady Sestha White noted the excited expression of Prince Yasang, the corners of her mouth tugging into a slight smile.

These female priests are not only skilled in soliciting help.

Without mutual interests, after one or two times, others would shy away, but Lady Sestha White knew how to nurture these connections.

The Love Church is a vast network, and they survive by weaving this network.

——"Women are like vines, they always need a tree to cling to."

As the proverb inside the Love Church goes, only some female priests branch out their vines so much that they cling to more than one tree.

Lady Sestha White was among the best, she was not just clinging, but weaving a vine network of her own, from the towering trees of Cormanthor Forest to the newer forces on the ground, all were part of her woven web.

Now she had a new significant target to influence—Duncan-Starfall, aiming to at least make this man owe her a favor.
