Chapter 993: Chapter 28: Dragon Knight Duncan (Part 2)

"He’s given too much!"

The Elf Maiden, Celinea-Silverglow, hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I could lend a hand."

"But whether to let him ride, I must think carefully."

"After all, I’m not confident facing an ancient Red Dragon in close combat."

However, with the Sun-Chaser Oren around, it’s not so dangerous, but Golden Dragons have always been unwilling to be mounts.

The leader of Metallic Dragons is just that proud.

At that moment,

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and then a man dressed as a butler came in, saying respectfully, "Lady. Lady Lianna-Flameheart is here."

"Lord Duncan has sent some items."

Lady Tailinya stood up, with Celinea-Silverglow following curiously.

Soon.

Seeing everything before her, she couldn’t help but gasp.

Truly extravagant.

The gift here was in two parts, one from the Wealth Church, and the other privately from Duncan, composed of expensive golden jewelry, together with exquisitely crafted Elven Curiosities. She couldn’t help but glance at the gemstone brooch on Lady Tailinya’s chest, likely also a gift from Lord Duncan.

Winning favor with two Giant Dragons.

In future trade along the Golden Route, they would need the dragons to look after it a little, not to manage it—that wouldn’t be reassuring—but just hope they could help clear the trade route.

Usually offering some benefits, at a critical time, a Dragon Breath could save the Wealth Church a lot of trouble.

Duncan has always been generous and willing to spend money.

Looking at the array of jewelry gifts before her, Celinea-Silverglow couldn’t help but say sourly, "This Lord Duncan is truly willing to spend."

Even for an adult Giant Dragon, to accumulate such wealth to fill one’s Dragon’s Nest would probably take many years.

Even dragons aren’t that wealthy; their wealth is built over time.

Lady Tailinya’s cheeks blushed slightly, her eyes shining with a golden light, subtly signaling the servants to put away the treasures, as dragons aren’t willing to share their treasures, even if she and Celinea-Silverglow are considered quite good ’girlfriends.’

This won’t do.

It’s all mine.

She was already somewhat shaken at this moment.

Forming a friendship with this man brought so much, she felt she might even become one of the ’wealthier’ dragons.

Celinea-Silverglow didn’t stay long, quickly returning to her temporary residence.

And when she returned, she immediately saw a team of servants, as though realizing something, her steps quickened a little.

Indeed.

She also received a gift from Lord Duncan, all gemstones that Silver Dragons favored, and even a unique earring forged from Mithril by ancient Elves. Just this one High-tier Marvel was worth a fortune, making her gasp inwardly.

Is this man really so wealthy?

Could he have looted the great vault of Waukeen, the goddess of wealth?

Inside Adam’s residence.

Sharella sat by the window, her expression carrying a hint of intrigue as she looked at Duncan, teasing, "You’re truly willing to spend."

"Just for these three dragons, you sent out half a fleet."

Duncan mortgaged the ships of his trading company, along with coins he pushed out of the Mother of Great Bliss’s vault, this lavish spending even secretly surprised Sharella, one of the Five Fierce Women.

Opposite the desk, Duncan calmly poured himself a cup of tea, saying lightly, "They can choose not to accept."

"But if they take the money, they have to work."

"No one can renege on my accounts!"

Duncan’s splurge had a precondition, which was to help deal with that ancient Red Dragon. Only by taking it down can the investment he’s made today yield enough return.

Sharella stared at the man in front of her, saying seriously, "You are truly a gambler."

Duncan smiled without speaking.

Asking others to risk their lives yet unwilling to pay, that’s hardly reasonable.

This is just the beginning.

In the future, he will become even more generous.

Because when the reputation of Lord Duncan’s immense generosity spreads, when he ventures into the Bottomless Abyss, will true powerhouses be willing to lend a hand, and he will also be willing to share the foundations of the Wealth Church.

After pulling off this job, he would never have to worry about money for life!

Those truly powerful legendary figures aren’t that easy to get to risk their lives, let alone venture into the Bottomless Abyss. What Duncan is doing now can only be considered an appetizer.

"The mage you’re looking for, I’ve already contacted one."

Sharella hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "But he does have a little problem."

"Do you think you can accept that?"

Hmm?

A Legendary Mage? With a little problem?

Duncan raised his head with a solemn look and said, "Tell me."

Sharella said cautiously, "His name is Shadow Eater-Victor."

"Once studied further at Candle Castle."

"A very formidable mage, but word has it that he’s a bit mentally off."

"He studies cloning."

"It’s said he’s created quite a few clones of himself."

"Even..."

Saying this, Sharella observed Duncan’s expression for any change, saying softly, "In some rumors, the real him has already been killed by his own clone."

"That’s why he seems a bit crazy."

"But this man, as long as you’re willing to pay, he dares to do anything."

Mad Mage.

It’s actually not surprising, as there are many mages in Ferren who are quirky and mentally unstable.

Duncan paused for a moment in silence, then said slowly, "Bring him for me to meet."

Mages are the hardest teammates to recruit.

Even for the Wealth Church, it’s not so easy to drive a Legendary Mage to risk their life.

But since there is one, he might as well use him.
