Chapter 986: Chapter 26: Showing Strength!

"Please come in, Lord Duncan."

The regent of Tieventon, Adam, warmly welcomed Duncan’s arrival. He was a follower of the War God, an old-fashioned traditional warrior, yet very strategic, having achieved numerous glorious victories and repelled the invasions of beastmen warlords.

The world’s War God is strong and quite wise because He, to some extent, protects the ’Peace Goddess.’

A Weak Divine Power, equivalent to a Demigod goddess.

War God Tempus considers the Peace Goddess, who is entirely opposite to Him in essence, too naive and weak. However, out of respect for her firm belief, He commanded His followers not to offend the priests, altars, or divine halls of the ’Goddess of Springs and Peace.’

Because without the contrast of peace, war seems utterly meaningless.

The Gold Lord has arrived.

Adam had evidently researched the Joyful Cult in advance, and immediately arranged for a grand banquet upon Duncan’s arrival.

Tiventon’s strategic location is very important.

But because they lacked support from the Comer Kingdom, their days were not easy. Some strategic materials could only rely on backing from the Gold Lord at the rear. Undoubtedly, the Wealth Church is the gold lord that could support them through difficult times.

Duncan wasn’t particularly concerned about the banquet.

After a brief greeting, Sharella Tebron immediately took over the negotiation part. As a seasoned supreme bishop and one of the Five Fierce Women, no one could easily gain a copper of advantage from her hand.

Her visit wasn’t solely to help Duncan; she also aimed to open the trade routes of the Enoak Desert.

Ruins of the Neser Empire frequently yielded good finds.

Valuable ones.

If she could control this line, her influence would soar, and she could collect many rare items. (But she didn’t know that Shadow City would return in a few years, one of the few floating cities in Ferren.)

At this moment, Duncan also approached Liana Flamesoul.

"Lord Duncan."

The former circus leader enthusiastically stood up to greet him.

Duncan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Lady Tailinya next to him, gently saying, "Won’t you introduce this lady to me?"

Liana Flamesoul looked surprised. She wasn’t truly foolish, and seeing Duncan greeting proactively, she realized the friends they made recently might be somewhat unusual.

"Nice to meet you."

"Lord Duncan-Starfall."

Lady Tailinya elegantly rose; she was wearing a pale green elf gown, showcasing graceful curves, with lucky clover adorning the hem—a distinctly elf style.

This lady offered him a glass of red wine and softly said, "Sir."

"Shall we talk outside?"

Duncan smiled and nodded, patting Liana Flamesoul’s shoulder encouragingly, suggesting that they were doing well.

The two headed towards the garden outside the banqueting hall.

Adam’s mansion wasn’t luxurious, just having a symbolic courtyard. Under the bright moonlight, Lady Tailinya admired Duncan, saying, "I didn’t expect the renowned Lord Duncan-Starfall to be so young."

Legendary Level.

In this world, it’s a reputation that could truly make one a deity.

Duncan smiled silently, his deep eyes fixed on the elegant woman in front of him, quietly asking, "Is the lady from the Comanso Forest?"

Lady Tailinya nodded, as if reminiscing, saying, "I’ve indeed stayed there for hundreds of years."

A mature bronze dragon, possibly even in its prime.

Lady Tailinya is a Legendary Unit, and the standard for dragons becoming legendary is maturity. She seemed adept at spells, perhaps nearing her prime.

"Why is the lady here?" Duncan asked curiously.

Lady Tailinya didn’t hide it, stating calmly, "It’s said that there is evil hidden underground at Thunder Peak."

"I, along with Sun Embracer Oren, were ordered to guard here."

Got it.

Duncan immediately thought of the ancient shadow dragon witch demon. The real guardian should be Sun Embracer Oren, a powerful old gold dragon. The Wealth Church’s intelligence mentioned it and pointed out that acquiring its support would make subsequent actions much easier.

Gold dragons are wise, silver dragons are passionate.

Two main faces of metallic dragons, among which the bronze dragon’s combat abilities aren’t weak, while the brass dragons can be annoying, chatterboxes among chatterboxes, like Tang Monk from A Chinese Odyssey.

Duncan inquired, "Where is Lord Sun Embracer Oren?"

Lady Tailinya softly replied, "Lord Oren went to Comanso Forest and will return in about two days."

Gold dragons are natural leaders.

They could even lead elves because elves are willing to forge alliances with gold dragons.

Duncan seemed thoughtful, looking at Lady Tailinya with a rather warm gaze. These were two very powerful potential allies.

Reality is different from slaying dragons in games.

When gaming, dragons would actively land and engage in melee with you; you could even repair the claws of a dragon. But in reality, dragons wouldn’t land at all; they fought aerial battles, descending from the sky with a Dragon Breath Spray; otherwise, they would crush with an offensive. If you cast a flying spell, it’s extremely challenging to confront dragons in the air.

Making a dragon land isn’t an easy task, and as for meleeing you on the ground, the best chance is to corner it in its Dragon’s Nest.

Lady Tailinya seemed quite interested in Duncan because she knew the man had risen within just half a month. There were many rumors about him, most of which related to killing the Divine Favored of Torture Goddess Lavita.
