If the former Holy Daughter Dali still had some childishness, she now exuded a strong youthful aura.

"Mr. Duke, it really is you!" Dali's voice carried a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, with a glimmer of surprise in her sapphire eyes.

Duke smiled slightly, "I went to some distant places to handle some unavoidable matters. It seems you've developed well along with the Light Sect this year."

A faint blush appeared on Dali's face, unsure whether it was due to excitement or some other reason.

She gestured for him to proceed, "Let's not stand here talking, please enter the Divine Hall."

Duke nodded and followed Dali into the Divine Hall.

He noticed that the clergy along the way would all bow respectfully when they saw Dali, but when they saw Duke, they showed expressions of curiosity and respect.

Many of them were unfamiliar faces, probably people who had joined Light Sect in the past year.

Only a few still vaguely remembered Duke, and upon seeing him, recalled that he was an important figure in the Light Sect.

"It seems there are many newcomers," Duke said as they walked.

Dali slightly tilted her head, exposing a graceful and fair neck, "It's all thanks to you. After you left, we developed the sect according to the suggestions you left, especially with the help of those blessed by the heavens. They helped us solve many issues, greatly expanding our influence."

The two talked as they walked, sunlight filtering through the stained glass of the Divine Hall, casting dappled shadows on Dali.

They arrived at the rear of the Divine Hall, where the Divine Statue of Light was located.

"Mr. Duke, are you going to stay for a while this time?" Dali asked, looking at Duke with some anticipation.

Duke shook his head, "I have many busy matters recently and have come back only to take care of a few things before leaving again."

There was a hint of disappointment in Dali's eyes, but she understood and then asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Dali knew well that Duke, being someone chosen by the will of the God of Light, was not simple and would not stay in Azure Vault City for long.

She also knew Duke was mysterious; once he disappeared, there was no trace, and now he suddenly reappeared.

"Yes, I need some Level 1 Magic Spells and information about the Light God Ruins," Duke said.

Dali replied, "Level 1 Magic Spells are easy, but as for the information on the Light God Ruins, there are some, but most of them are uncertain and pose potential dangers."

"No problem, just tell me everything you know about the Light God Ruins," Duke said.

The God of Light, being a deity continuing for so many years on the Oracle Plane, would undoubtedly have many related relics.

Dali nodded obediently, then took out an old thick book and began to share information on the God of Light with Duke.

Duke listened carefully, memorizing each piece of information completely without missing anything.

A few hours later, he had summarized over twenty pieces of information, all possibly related to the God of Light.

These places were scattered in various locations, some very far, others relatively close.

Some, particularly far places, were temporarily set aside by Duke, intending to investigate the closer ones first before moving on to the distant locations.

Investigating these places alone would naturally consume a lot of time and effort, as just traveling back and forth between these locations was time-consuming.

By the time everything would be investigated, who knows how long it would take, and Duke did not have the time to delay here.

For him, it wasn't difficult; he just needed Robert to arrange for some people to investigate each location and then compile the information to determine which places might contain the Light God Ruins.

These players didn't even need to return to report the news but could simply update Robert directly in reality, which was the advantage of the players.

Dali quickly prepared twelve Level 1 Magic Spells for Duke, all core content of the Light Sect.

She didn't have full mastery, and since the God of Light lost contact, the Light believers could receive less and less heritage.

As for higher-level Magic Spells, Dali had not accessed them yet.

From Dali, Duke also learned that the Light Sect currently had only one Magic Master-level individual, who remained in retreat most often and rarely appeared.

Unless the Light Sect faced major issues, like some crisis, this person would stay beneath the Divine Hall of Light.

A Magic Master equates to a Level 2 Mage, while a Great Mage equates to a Level 3 Mage.

Apart from the Light Sect, every Four Gods Sect had a Great Mage.

But these Great Mages also rarely act or appear, supposedly to extend their lifespans.

These individuals are significant figures in each sect, underpinning the sects; they cannot easily perish.

This led Duke to think that the lifespan of mages in this world was probably shorter than that of wizards.

Due to differences in progression and casting systems, these Magic Masters and Great Mages did not have the long life spans of Level 2 and Level 3 wizards.

The same was true for Level 1 Mages; the lifespan of a Level 1 Mage on the Oracle Plane generally did not exceed three hundred years.

While a Level 1 Wizard's lifespan was five hundred years, far exceeding the lifespan limit of mages on the Oracle Plane.

It could be seen that the same might be true for higher-level mages.

Duke carefully kept the paper recording information on the Light God Ruins and gave Dali a gentle smile, "This information is very helpful, thank you."

Dali's cheeks flushed with a light blush again, and she shook her head gently, "I'm glad to help. If you need, I can send some sect personnel to assist with the investigation..."

"No need," Duke interrupted her, "I have arrangements; I will send those blessed by the heavens to do it."

As the players could resurrect after dying, if Light Sect suffered personnel losses from helping him, he would feel somewhat guilty.

Duke stood up, ready to leave to handle matters.

Dali stood with him, eyes full of reluctance, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, some matters need arranging swiftly." Duke nodded and took out a Space Ring, "Inside are some gifts for the Light Sect. I hope they can help you. If the sect runs into any trouble, feel free to tell me, and I'll do my best to help."

As the development of the Light Sect was closely tied to Duke, the better the Light Sect developed, the more Power of Faith would be generated, allowing the Light God Court to grow faster.
