Chapter 982: Chapter 24: Duncan’s Authority!_3

Meanwhile.

A fleet consisting of more than ten large ships set off from Seargant, travelling through Dragon Lake to the capital of Comer Kingdom, Suzail.

The two major churches simultaneously exerted their strength.

More than ten teams of ears and eyes spies were sent out, but compared to the pleasure sect sending out these individuals, the Wealth Church had already scouted the surrounding situation before their action.

Heading west from Tyrton, towards the rocky region.

A hulking human warrior pulled an axe from the head of an orc marauder, heedlessly wiped the blood from himself, then plopped down beside the body and said to the nearby half-elf companion who was scavenging the battlefield: "Bazell."

"Why are there so many missions targeting orcs lately?"

Beside him, Bazell-Pipe sorted the loot into a storage bag and replied without looking up: "Maybe there’s some big figure up there who wants to clean up these marauding orcs."

"Why worry about that?"

"We only take missions within our capability."

At that moment, a female mage not far away spoke up: "I heard the Wealth Church provided the funding for this operation."

"All places around the Storm Mountains capable of posting mission commissions,"

"have simultaneously released scouting missions."

"And the commission’s reward was increased by twenty percent."

This mage evidently had more channels for gathering information, explaining: "Comer Kingdom fell into financial crisis due to turmoil, but their crown prince Prince Yasang seems to have gained the friendship of a major figure in the Wealth Church."

"Funds should be provided by them."

"These mission commissions mainly target the marauding orc warlords, and the rumored giant dragon’s whereabouts."

"If we can find that dragon’s trail."

"No need to slay the dragon."

"We could still make a fortune!"

The Five Fierce Women at this level of existence are like legendary figures to common adventurers.

The surrounding companions seemed intrigued upon hearing this, but the half-elf cautiously shook his head and said: "Let’s forget it."

"After all, that’s a dragon."

"I heard it’s breath spray melted the walls of Alabe."

"Maybe it’s an adult red dragon."

"No."

"It might even be a mature giant dragon."

The tall human mage shrugged upon hearing this: "I’m just saying, maybe we’ll get lucky and see it fly over, and it just happens not to notice us?"

"Who can say for sure about such things?"

"Don’t forget."

"After all, I once won [Taimola’s Smile]."

Normally, the luckiest in adventurer groups are half-elves, because they are favored by divine spirits, having unique luck, but this adventurer team was an exception, as this human female mage had seen the saintly destruction embodiment of the goddess of luck, Taimola and also won her smile.

She mentioned this whenever she had the chance.

Specifically, it was during the year of the Saint’s Calamity outbreak, when Taimola descended in tumultuous times to Alabel City, the place where the shadow dancer Kevin had arrived earlier.

She built the [Lady’s Hall] in the local divine hall, openly accepting worship from believers at that place.

In that chaotic moment when magic was rampant and uncontrollable, making it seem like the gods had abandoned mortals, Taimola’s descent and subsequent actions not only soothed the panic and bewildered hearts of people but also made everyone aware that gods still cared for their mortal believers.

During that desperate moment, ’being able to directly converse face-to-face with the revered goddess herself’ not only attracted a lot of new believers (of course, one must first donate a suitable amount of wealth to be able to meet the goddess), but also greatly elevated the status of her followers and the divine position personnel.

There was a curiosity in the material plane called ’lucky gold coin’, which appeared at that time and is said to be blessed by the goddess of luck - Taimola.

As she spoke, a shining gold coin appeared in the hand of this human female mage, and she tossed it proudly, making the nearby half-elf full of envy.

She not only saw the goddess of luck but also received the smile of the goddess.

Since then, her luck had been excellent; even several times the group turned danger into safety all because of her good fortune.

At this moment.

The hulking human warrior widened his eyes in astonishment, looking toward the direction of the distant mountains, then lowly shouted: "Hide quickly!"

All were seasoned adventurers, their reactions were quite swift, and they immediately concealed themselves.

The human female mage even directly activated the invisibility spell on her ring.

The wind howled!

A gigantic red dragon swept down from the sky, whether by luck or not, that terrifying and hideous red dragon unexpectedly didn’t notice their group.

Only after its dreadful silhouette had left did the others stand up weakly.

"This is definitely not an adult giant dragon."

Bazell-Pipe showed a fearful expression, patting his small frame and saying, "It should be a mature giant dragon."

"No!"

"It might even be an elder dragon!..."

As for any further, it would be a bit too much for them to handle, such dragons are disasters wherever they are.

"Enough talk!"

"The goddess of luck is smiling at us!"

The human female mage exclaimed excitedly: "Let’s hurry back! We’re going to make a fortune!"

This is a lot of money.

They estimated that they were the first adventurers to discover the dragon’s trail, and its lair likely is nearby.

This human female mage kissed the lucky gold coin in her hand and placed it closely against her chest as a treasure; during the outbreak of the Saint’s Calamity, she spent all her savings to meet the goddess of luck, which was probably the wisest investment of her life.

The goddess of luck’s smile shines so bright, she decided to convert to the goddess of luck in the future.

.........

During the outbreak of the Saint’s Calamity, the goddess of luck - Taimola gained the favor of mortals by receiving their worship and helped the local church alleviate the financial crisis.

One of Taimola’s amusements is teasing the serious and stern god of guardians - Helm, along with the god of justice - Tyr.

Besides inheriting all the benevolent traits of the previous goddess, she also inherited the fickle nature in love of the goddess of fortune - Tyche, since her creation she has seduced many deities and countless mortals, although her romances rarely lasted longer than two years, most were just playful teasing to indulge her mischievousness.

That’s just how luck is.

In the Bright Water Realm, the places where the female gods descended were relatively close; apart from her sister the unfortunate lady, barely anyone troubled her.

Her church is quite loose, the great divine hall is in Alabe’s Lady’s Hall, the goddess of luck rarely bothered to manage the church.

With such free time, she’d rather tease a mortal or toy with her sister for a bit of fun.

Her embodiment usually appears as a human female dressed in a luxurious robe, exuding a graceful noble demeanor and wearing a simple golden crown over shoulder-length platinum hair.

In the goddess alliance of Bright Water Realm, she keeps a distant relationship, almost rarely intervening personally.

The goddess of luck is indeed as fickle as mortals perceive.
