Chapter 981: Chapter 24: Duncan’s Authority! (Part 2)
The Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat shook her head again.
As if feeling it was indeed difficult for these believers, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat finally said, "He is the embodiment of darkness, the shadow of death. Once he reveals his traces, there is bound to be upheaval."
"Find a way to locate his incarnation and then tell me."
Some sort of intuition told the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat that the terrible existence had also entered this world.
And that existence had some connection to her origins.
However, the other party would not easily reveal their traces, as this world had too many Divine Spirits and the existence of the God of Gods. He would most likely choose to ’secretly sneak in,’ perhaps by embodying his will into a mortal, or possibly creating a human form reincarnation in secret.
But no matter what, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat hoped to find him.
After arranging all this, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat looked in the direction of Eunser, flames of revenge burning in her pupils, a hatred towards Jilga.
The Year of Turmoil had ended.
However, the Saint’s Calamity had not completely ended, as the battle among the gods was still ongoing. Especially as the connection between the gods and faith grew closer, her violent enemy Jilga significantly lost power due to insufficient faith.
Now was the opportunity for her to become a Godslayer!
The last time the Five-Colored Dragon Queen fell after losing an incarnation, she secretly planned her resurrection. She ultimately chose Charthra, an ambitious Ancient Purgatory Red Dragon wanting to become a god.
After lurking in the shadows for several weeks, she finally decided to complete her ’resurrection’ at this moment and begin her revenge plan.
The Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat opened her mouth and swallowed Charthra’s soul.
This soul was still useful.
Perhaps one day in the future, she would attempt to revive it and use it as her tool, a dragon champion in Ferren’s domain, a prepared Divine Chosen.
Storm Mountains.
A young man dressed as a minstrel arrived at Alabé, a bustling lakeside city.
The Shadow Dancer Kevin, disguised as a minstrel, quietly arrived at this place once ravaged by an ancient Red Dragon. Traces of Dragon Breath still lingered here, but it had not become desolate; on the contrary, there were more unfamiliar faces from afar.
Those ambitious adventurers.
In many adventure tales, slaying a dragon is undoubtedly the most commendable feat, one that can earn immense wealth, astounding fame, and even attract the attention of Divine Spirits.
"What’ll you have to drink, mate?" a bartender asked.
The Shadow Dancer Kevin set down his lyre, snapped his fingers, and tossed a Silver Coin, saying, "A glass of your strongest drink."
His handsome features were quite striking.
Members of the Pleasurable Sect were mostly handsome men and beautiful women, perhaps due to his distinctive aura. The tavern maid even cast a flirtatious wink his way, but Kevin was uninterested, for the Pleasurable Sect hardly lacked beauties, and how could common women compare to those pampered noble ladies.
Nonetheless, he engaged in some friendly banter with her and slipped a Gold Coin into her ample bosom, from which he gleaned details about the recent dragon attack.
In fact, it was hardly an attack; the Red Dragon had merely breathed fire once and left.
Before long.
A merchant with a refined demeanor quietly appeared outside the tavern. Upon seeing the Shadow Dancer Kevin, his eyes brightened, and he quickly approached, lowering his head, "Lord Kevin."
A High Tier member of the Scarlet Performer Sect.
A major figure of the Pleasurable Sect.
Chirco was a well-known merchant in Alabé, mainly dealing in art pieces and offering custom services. He had some connections with the elves as well.
Upon seeing the Shadow Dancer Kevin, he immediately recognized his opportunity.
This was a figure one rarely gets to meet!
With a fawning demeanor, he was nearly speaking without reserve, doing everything possible to please Kevin, providing any valuable information. To him, if he could gain the friendship of this lord, he could soon connect with the church hierarchy and perhaps gain the hidden support of the Wealth Church, given that many knew the Wealth Divine Position was currently overseen by the Joyful Goddess Lierla.
In the tavern’s corner.
A number of adventurers from the West were whispering among themselves. One tall roamer glanced this way and said to her companions, "That minstrel is not simple."
"Seems like he’s a big shot."
Next to her, a few companions sneakily turned around for a peek, and the bearded Dwarf said in a deep voice, "How can you tell?"
The roamer lowered her voice, "You guys forgot."
"Alabrá employed a large number of adventurers this time to clear out the raiding orcs in the Storm Mountains. One of the patrons is Chirco, a merchant of considerable repute here."
"The elven curiosity used to reward adventurers, the Echo of Moonlight, was offered by him."
"Someone who would make him bow and scrape."
"What else could he be but a big deal?"
The adventurers present were thoughtful, and one whispered, "Should we try to make contact?"
For grassroots adventurers like them, even if they had some ability, it was difficult for them to make a mark without fame. Typically, local merchants and nobles were indifferent to them, even seeing them as potential trouble, discarded after use. If they could align themselves with the church, there might be an opportunity for change.
At this time, throughout the Comer Kingdom, many new and powerful faces had appeared.
