Chapter 933: Chapter 8: Seizing Control! Duncan Rises to Power_3
As long as Duncan looked up, he could see her entire dressing process.
But Duncan didn’t move at all, maintaining a serious expression, standing there quietly and waiting.
A radiant young girl was dressing the Mother of Great Bliss, sneaking a glance at Duncan who was standing silently with his eyes closed, and whispered a few words by the Mother of Great Bliss’s ear.
The Mother of Great Bliss shook her head slightly and soon came out with a less revealing outfit.
However, she still didn’t wear anything underneath.
If it weren’t for something, she basically wouldn’t go out in the morning; the whole Joy Church didn’t have the habit of morning prayers, these revelers would appear at least in the afternoon.
"What’s the matter?"
After changing into a luxurious gown, the Mother of Great Bliss resumed her slightly arrogant and superior demeanor.
Duncan glanced at her, his gaze sweeping past the protrusions, shaking his head inwardly, but with a serious expression, he said, "The assassination by the Suffering Church won’t give up easily."
"I suggest we strike first!"
There’s no reason to guard against thieves every day.
Duncan’s principle of action is to repay grudges. If you don’t hurt or scare the enemy, things will not end easily.
Hearing Duncan’s words, the Mother of Great Bliss was slightly stunned.
Hit back?
Do they really have this strength?
If it weren’t for the Joyful Church’s inadequate combat power, Duncan would have wanted to eradicate it by directly wiping out the Suffering Church’s stronghold in this area.
Clearly, Duncan guessed the Mother of Great Bliss’s thoughts, and he said in a deep voice, "If the Great Mother gives me the Scarlet Performer Sect."
"I am confident in severely damaging the Suffering Church’s forces near Segert."
"However."
"During this period, it’s best if the Great Mother does not leave the Temple District."
Lest he goes out to kill the enemy and the Mother of Great Bliss is attacked at home.
To be honest.
Though the Mother of Great Bliss is a legendary priest, Duncan feels if he prepares in advance, manages to rush to her side, not giving her a chance to cast spells, with her current combat literacy, and coupled with her habit of wearing long gowns, Duncan could chop her head off in less than a minute.
With her physical condition, even if she gets chopped, she wouldn’t survive to heal herself with a divine technique.
Unless the Mother of Great Bliss changes into a priest’s heavy armor and prepares divine spells in advance, then she could last a few rounds in Duncan’s hands.
The Joy Church is so rich, yet barely any priests wear armor when going out.
Form-fitting clothes? Evening gowns?
What a joke.
How much defense can form-fitting clothes provide?
The Mother of Great Bliss fell into deep thought upon hearing this, seemingly hesitant. She values Duncan’s ability greatly, but she’s quite clear about her own limitations. The biggest trump card of the Joyful Church is the Crimson Performers.
If things go wrong, losing too many people can shake the foundations of the entire church.
"Are you confident?" The Mother of Great Bliss gradually grew solemn, staring at Duncan and asked.
Duncan nodded without hesitation.
At this moment, he has to instill confidence in the Mother of Great Bliss. If he’s not resolute, she’ll definitely waver.
The Mother of Great Bliss pondered for a while, then looked up and said, "How many people do you need?"
Duncan calmly replied, "Four people."
Just these?
No, that’s wrong!
What he’s asking for is the main team of the Scarlet Performers.
The Mother of Great Bliss instantly understood that Duncan didn’t want any small fry, just the main battle team of the Scarlet Performers, that is, the likes of the joker and other experts.
If something goes wrong, the Scarlet Performers could disband on the spot.
The whole hall fell into dead silence.
The Mother of Great Bliss thought for a long time, eventually gritting her teeth, and looked up saying, "They’re yours!"
Being attacked like this.
It’s a major blow to the Joyful Church’s prestige. Even though they don’t have much prestige, if they don’t retaliate immediately, they’ll be looked down upon.
Good!
There’s hope.
Having obtained the Mother of Great Bliss’s promise, Duncan’s face instantly brightened. He even had the free time to glance up and down at the shapely figure of the Mother of Great Bliss. She’s there to look at, might as well take a look.
The Mother of Great Bliss noticed his change of expression, even feeling a bit amused, but she wasn’t intimidated at all. Instead, she straightened her graceful figure and elegantly and calmly returned to her room.
She needed to give Duncan the sacred emblem of the Joyful Church. Only then could he mobilize the Scarlet Performers.
Before leaving.
Duncan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the Mother of Great Bliss, hinting, "Before setting off, I need to visit the Grand Treasury."
The implication is both a hint and also seeking the support of the Wealth Church.
Allies are still allies.
The goddesses of the Bright Water Realm still maintain a united front outward before turning against each other.
The Mother of Great Bliss responded absentmindedly, "Mm," but from her expression, she didn’t seem as calm as she appeared.
The Joyful Church is really not good at fighting.
If Duncan wants to win fully, he also needs the Wealth Church’s golden support, that is, the support of the Five Fierce Women.
Meanwhile.
In a secret chamber in the Joy Divine Hall, the Revelry Master Kovor also received a confidential report, his expression beamed with joy, exclaiming, "I knew Duncan-Starfall must be an undercover agent for the Wealth Church."
"He has secret dealings with the Five Fierce Women."
"Immediately send someone to inform the Mother of Great Bliss."
"No!"
"Hold onto it, and at the critical moment, deliver a fatal blow to him!"
Now that he holds Duncan-Starfall’s secret, he can pinch him however he wants in the future, and even publicize it, leaving him no place in the Joyful Church.
Duncan’s rise directly threatened his power and status.
