Chapter 985: Chapter 25: The Smile of Lady Luck (Part 3)

Even the goddess of joy has changed, linking domains such as family, joy, and happiness together, and formulating new doctrines, trying to expand their influence to grasp the domain of ’protection’.

These people are strictly chosen, even their future advancement training has harsh templates, to prevent church members from progressing haphazardly, resulting in uneven battle prowess and becoming jack-of-all-trades.

They are the first batch of chosen ones, using nearby beastmen, half-beastmen, and gnolls as whetstones.

After Lord Duncan-Starfall rose to power, the joyful sect abolished the ’Abandoning Ferocity’ ritual, with the branches of charm and joy controlled by the Mother of Great Bliss, while the reform faction is led by the Joyous High Priest.

This is doctrinal reform.

No one knows whether Lord Duncan-Starfall received some oracle, or if he secretly persuaded Lady Joy, but now even the Mother of Great Bliss within the sect almost regards him as the leader.

These people will not leave the surrounding areas of Sambia, their activities supported by the Wealth Church, as long as they don’t act recklessly, casualities won’t be large.

"Are they people from the sect of joy?"

"They seem quite active lately."

At this moment, in another direction in the marketplace, a beautiful girl with light purple long hair was curiously observing the celebrating people.

The eldest daughter of Prince Yasang, Princess Tinalasta.

She is known as the Crown Princess, and is the first in line to the throne of the Comer Kingdom.

An attendant beside her said softly: "They are the joyful envoys, and the doctrine they are spreading now seems to be a bit different from before."

"They have indeed been very active lately."

"These people..."

At this point, the attendant next to her wanted to say more but hesitated.

The young Princess Tinalasta couldn’t help but curiously ask: "What’s up with these people?"

The attendant replied in a low voice: "We have secretly sent people to follow them."

"Their strength is not much to speak of."

"But they have been gaining impressive battle records recently."

Average strength but glorious battle achievements?

Could such a thing happen?

Princess Tinalasta raised her head in confusion: "Hmm?"

The attendant said in a low voice: "They are very skilled in social connections, these joyful envoys just arrived here and have already gained the friendship of the Valley of Dragons."

"Even, they have a good relationship with the mighty Gold Dragon, Sun Embracer Oren."

At this, the attendant added: "To my knowledge, these joyful envoys have not seen through the disguise of Gold Dragon Sun Embracer Oren."

"They still think they’ve befriended a local amiable noble."

Still as naive as before.

However, their network expands particularly quickly, especially those kind-hearted creatures, who are easily infected by their joy.

This explains why they have average strength but magnificent achievements.

Someone (a giant dragon) is helping them.

An elder attendant said in a low voice: "As far as I know, Sun Embracer Oren greatly dislikes the incessant raids by beastmen around here, and secretly offered substantial help when the Joyful Guards were dispatched."

"Additionally, they also have a good relationship with the lady disguised as Bronze Dragon Tailinya."

Upon hearing this, Princess Tinalasta’s charming face couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

What is this?

Fools getting lucky?

In Tifvanton, many people look down on them, but no one wants to provoke them either, for they have the support of the Wealth Church and the friendship of two giant dragons, and they frequently spread joy and treat everyone to feasts.

The saying goes ’Don’t hit a smiling face’, locally many still like them.

Moreover, since Lord Duncan took power, the joyful sect’s sayings have changed, daily greetings became "Wish you joy and health" and "May joy always be with you", basically all auspicious words.

No choice.

If you’re not good, say more pleasant words.

Only those who are fierce say less.

Duncan stood up strong in the joyful sect, stepping up over the Mother of Great Bliss, and has many admirers within the church, must think a bit.

While speaking.

Outside the marketplace came the sound of galloping hooves.

Soon, someone saw the ruler of Tifvanton, Adam, proactively greeting with people, dozens of fully armed guards hurriedly heading towards the main gate.

"It should be Lord Duncan arriving!"

Liyana Flameheart appeared excited, quickly went to meet him, she had participated in the battle to besiege Pain Lord Malasses, but she was just a small fry then, rarely got a chance to actually fight.

But this doesn’t affect Lord Duncan-Starfall’s position as an idol for many joyful priests and joyous priests now.

This man is so tough!

Tough and strong.

In some unreliable private rumors, even the Mother of Great Bliss trembled under his toughness and strength, thus gaining insight into the true domain of joy.

Liyana Flameheart hurriedly got up, then saw not far away an elegant noble woman, and proactively said: "Lady Tailinya."

"Would you like to join us to meet Lord Duncan?"

The lady’s face was beautiful, her demeanor graceful, though she appeared young, she carried a majestic elegance, filled with the wisdom of having seen the world, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile, knowing that these young humans were indeed full of energy.

Outside Tifvanton, Duncan reined his horse.

His gaze inadvertently looked forward, quickly glanced at the burly man in the lead, then cast his eyes towards the elegant lady among the crowd.

——Adam (Ruler) (Five-star silver-gray).

This is not the focus.

——Bronze Dragon - Tailinya (Five-star gold).

A hint of surprise flashed in Duncan’s deep pupils, he had no idea when these joyful envoys sent out had befriended the dragons.

Dragons?

Among the crowd, Liyana Flameheart was excited, she knew nothing about dragons, she just saw how nice Lady Tailinya was, pretty and elegant, felt very close, and became friends with her.

The joyful envoys have recently freely repaired roads and gardens, invited many people from the market for feasts, even helped many poor people.

Their earned reward was mostly spent in these areas.

These people won’t save money for retirement like other adventurers, with the church guaranteeing everything, the joyful sect internally calls themselves brothers and sisters, of course it can’t be completely equal, but better than other sects.

"That man saw through my identity."

Lady Tailinya showed a hint of surprise, but wasn’t too shocked, being a well-known divine favored, seeing through her transformation magic wasn’t strange at all.

Duncan quickly met with ruler Adam, and when passing through the crowd, nodded respectfully towards Lady Tailinya.

Beside him, Liyana Flameheart thought Duncan was greeting her, blushing with excitement, proactively lifted her skirt to perform a lady’s greeting.

Lord Duncan is looking at me!

He acknowledged my achievements during this time.

This is wonderful.
