The key is at this moment.
All Spirits whispered, they told this goddess—what Duncan spoke, represents their will.
As long as Duncan agrees, they would promote the corn goddess as the true agricultural deity!
Refreshing.
All Spirits certainly found a friend in Duncan.
In witch Gleya’s incredulous gaze, with a few words, before them stood the corn goddess—an existence surpassing a demigod, approaching weak divine power within the agricultural domain—subserviently bowed to the man before them, softly saying: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"
Don’t know why.
She suddenly changed her address to Duncan as Your Majesty, which made Gleya perceive something inexplicable.
"Very good."
Duncan nodded, saying: "From today, you are the agricultural deity of this land."
After speaking, he turned to leave.
But corn goddess Yolani suddenly blocked him, with a determined expression said: "Your Majesty, I have a way to cure the epidemic afflicting the nomads."
"But it will require a grand ritual of fertility."
"And a little time."
This is preparing to contribute.
Directly praying for Heaven’s grace in this matter is clearly not cost-effective. Corn goddess Yolani is expressing her stance. Since she chose a camp, she would stick to that path till the end.
Duncan pondered briefly: "What do you need?"
The corn goddess Yolani slowly replied: "Release my Priest, let the people hold a midsummer festival. They’re afflicted by a death plague—a curse born from blood sacrifice."
"I will grant miracles, converging the fruit that heals the plague."
Releasing people is certainly essential.
Duncan immediately decided: "Very well."
"I will arrange for people to collaborate with your Temple Priest to complete the ritual promptly."
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
In just a few days, the eastern nomads and local natives completed an initial merger because they now have a common faith, the corn goddess Yolani, accepted into the All Spirits Faith, and became a servant of Heaven’s will—an agricultural domain deity.
Likewise, with this faith emergence, the nomads are transitioning towards a semi-agricultural lifestyle.
