Chapter 1162: Chapter 82: BOSS Alliance

Askatla, Waukeen Market.

Inside a lavishly decorated Divine Hall, a radiant woman in a blue and gold priest robe slowly walked out.

"Lady Helena," a nearby priest hurried forward to greet her.

Helena-Jasha, High Gold Bishop, one of the Five Fierce Women.

She once had a brief marriage, considered a union of strength, but during the turmoil in Am, her husband was killed by a rival, which weakened her position among the Five Fierce Women. It took her a long time to gradually recover some of her strength.

"Has Lord Duncan returned?" Helena-Jasha’s eyes flickered with a gleam.

She had clearly dressed up carefully, wearing her rarely donned High Priest robe named "Heart of the Sea," with intentions that were obvious—to get closer to Lord Duncan.

Helena had heard about the Sargantas incident, especially Sharella’s rise, which could not be separated from this man’s influence.

The trade in the Starfall Sea was keeping Sharella well-fed.

Even Della-Isgier, who was originally exiled and not in the core circle of the Wealth Church, now seemed to be establishing her own base, nearly overshadowing the other Five Fierce Women.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure.

Whoever has money, has power, and thus has a voice.

The current prosperity of Starfall Sea trade, with Dragon Bay connecting to other continents and the business extending eastward, even the Goddess of Wealth Waukeen is increasingly focusing on that area. How could the High Gold Five Fierce Women fail to notice the anomaly?

Am is the stronghold of the Wealth Church, both because of the trade around Sword Bay and because it is a commercial empire.

A nearby priest cautiously chimed in, "Not yet."

Helena-Jasha clearly showed a hint of disappointment; Duncan is the true Divine Favored, capable of conversing directly with the Goddess of Wealth, second only to the Holy Coin Archbishop. And in a certain sense, if a major event occurs, even the Holy Coin Archbishop must heed his command.

Throughout history, how many followers have achieved the grand feat of rescuing their faith goddess from the Bottomless Abyss?

Whether Duncan’s faith is devout or not, his authority is unquestionable.

In short, Duncan could seek immortality at any time, becoming a demigod, sub-god, or divine member in the Divine Country, selecting any position he desires—it’s just a matter of whether he appreciates gaining immortality within another’s Divine Country.

Such a figure, even in Sargantas, is carefully attended to by both Sharella and Della.

At that moment.

A hurried pace was heard, followed by an attendant rushing over and saying, "Madam."

"Lord Duncan has returned."

Upon hearing this, Helena-Jasha tidied her appearance and hurried out to greet him.

Outside Waukeen Market.

As Duncan returned, he immediately saw a brilliantly dressed and radiant woman approaching him—Helena-Jasha, one of the Five Fierce Women. Their relationship wasn’t very close, but she had been quite amiable to him recently.

Given his astonishing achievements, it was normal for people to curry favor with him. Even if he stacked the Five Fierce Women together, the Goddess of Wealth Waukeen probably wouldn’t object.

"The insights you wanted have surfaced."

Helena knew her role well; she’s a local influencer, and Duncan needs her intelligence network.

As she spoke, Helena cast a glance at the exotic-looking man beside him, whose handsome appearance initially suggested he was a Dragon Vein Mage, known for possessing this peculiar charm.

But with a second glance, Helena was instantly shocked.

A dragon!

A powerful Red Dragon!

Just transformed into human form, yet she could see through his transformation spell.

Firkraag was also looking at the glamorous woman, his eyes brimming with greed, not for beauty, but for treasure.

Truly wealthy.

An array of luxurious gear, richer than his Dragon’s Nest.

Divine Hall of Wealth.

Firkraag’s gaze was restrained, yet when looking at the magnificent hall ahead, his eyes were akin to a bandit eying the vast safe of a bank.

If only he could infiltrate the place, wouldn’t he strike it rich?

"Firkraag,"

Duncan calmly introduced, "My attendant."

"A member of the order."

The Wealth Church secretively raised some dragons, but none as strong as Firkraag, as overly powerful dragons are difficult to control.

Upon hearing this, Helena inhaled sharply, preparing to order strict surveillance of the vault.

Indeed, this lord is brazen.

Could such a dragon truly be tamed?

When an expert makes a move, you can tell at a glance; Duncan returned with an extraordinary Red Dragon.

"You stay here and wait for me," Duncan turned and said.

He chose not to bring Firkraag inside. If a dragon enters the Divine Hall of Wealth, it’s either a thief or a robber, better not to provoke it.

Firkraag appeared a bit disappointed but nodded obediently.

This boss must be quite wealthy.

Knowing Duncan’s identity, Firkraag was less resistant, more concerned about rewards and wages for his work.

Inside the Divine Hall.

Helena handed Duncan a piece of intelligence, her expression holding a trace of intimacy: "My lord."

"This pertains to Airenicas’s situation."

"Information indicates he secretly built an underground city in the slums."

Mages of an evil alignment enjoy carving out underground cities.

They possess the ’Fossil into Mud’ spell; given time, they can dig out entire city foundations.

Finally unearthed.

At this point in time, Airenicas remained fairly hidden, after all, he is a banished elf.

The intelligence was provided by the Shadow Thieves.

They even detailed the general structure of the underground city, including the numerous layers of space.
