The very center of Kabro City is where the Light Temple is located, and it is the most core and sacred area here.

By the time Duke landed, the grand pilgrimage and blessing activities had already begun, and people dressed in white traditional attire could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Followers of the God of Light have no uniform dress code, only the color is consistent, all in white, with many styles.

The few circles of districts outside Kabro City are relatively spacious, the roads are very wide, enough to accommodate a dozen carriages side by side.

However, there were no carriages on the street at the moment, everywhere was crowded with people, leaving no space for carriages to pass.

A large, impressive procession lay ahead, all dressed in white robes, bowing every three steps on the broad street.

They were all followers of the God of Light, expressing their devout faith in this manner.

This practice would continue for many days, with people constantly joining the procession, leaving only after completing a circle around the outer city.

Some particularly devout followers would even continue without eating or drinking until the end of the Blessing Festival.

These people were either Wizards or Knights, with extraordinary physiques, so going several days without food would not drain their strength too much, and starving to death was out of the question.

Duke naturally would not join this procession and quickly stepped aside to the edge of the road, giving way to these people.

Seeing the extreme devotion of this group, he even suspected that if he did not step aside, they would ignore him and just collide into him directly.

The pilgrim crowd was vast and mighty, estimated to be in the thousands, filling the wide street.

While Duke, Shari, and Nina moved aside to watch, a skinny, gaunt old man glanced at Duke, then approached and handed over a wooden plaque.

"Do you want to see the true God?" the gaunt old man rasped in a hoarse voice.

"True God?" Duke frowned and glanced at the wooden plaque in his hand, which was carved with an eerie idol.

For some reason, upon seeing this plaque, he instinctively felt some disgust, as if some malice emanated from it.

The gaunt old man continued, "If you want to see the true God, just hold onto the plaque and wait on the street tonight."

"No need." Duke directly pushed the plaque back.

At a glance, this old man seemed suspicious, and Duke could hardly be interested in meeting any so-called true God, suspecting there was something fishy behind it.

The gaunt old man hunched his shoulders, looked at the returned plaque, and sighed, "What a pity, yet another foolish person rejecting the true God."

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that if he didn't want to cause trouble, he would've slapped him away.

The old man was just an ordinary person; a little force from him would easily do him in, yet Duke dared not act rashly.

After the gaunt old man left, Duke gradually came around and recalled what Bell had previously mentioned, starting to understand something.

On the Wizard Plane, the spreading of any foreign gods' faith was forbidden, yet many foreign gods continued doing it secretly.

Such gods were generally referred to as Evil Gods on the Wizard Plane, and their followers known as followers of Evil Gods.

Though not all Evil Gods were harmful, many were inclined towards a lawful demeanor.

Nonetheless, most Evil Gods spread their faith for selfish gains, subtly causing negative influences on the Wizard Plane, with their followers' souls potentially becoming nourishment for these Evil Gods.

These Evil Gods are like worms, stealthily infiltrating various planes to spread their faith, extracting sustenance from them.

Duke felt that the gaunt old man just now was a follower of an Evil God, knowing that on the East Coast, there was no such thing as a true God belief; only the God of Light was legal.

Yet he couldn't be bothered to intervene, being an outsider himself, merely holding a Knight Hall identity.

Being new here, he couldn't tread into troubled waters, or it would only add unnecessary trouble to himself, as long as it didn't involve him.

…

Kabro City was immensely vast, and following Bell's previous directions, Duke arrived at the location of the Knight Hall here.

He needed to visit the God of Light through the Knight Hall to have a chance to comprehend the Light Attribute Breathing Technique.

The Knight Hall here was even more grandiose and towering than the one in Torch City, with the entire hall reaching a height of hundreds of meters, and its entrance supported by a dozen extraordinarily thick white columns, imparting a sacred and awe-inspiring aura.

The people at the Knight Hall were far fewer compared to other places in Kabro City, and it was particularly quiet.

After Duke arrived, he was politely blocked at the entrance by a Knight and allowed inside only after presenting his Knight Hall badge.

Upon entering the Knight Hall, a Knight named Jack attended to him, displaying a troubled expression upon learning that Duke intended to visit the Light Temple.

Jack pondered for a while and said, "Since it's the Blessing Festival, the spots to visit the Light Temple are limited and almost entirely booked. If you wish to visit, you'll have to wait at least a month."

The Blessing Festival attracted nobles from all sides, most of whom came to visit the God of Light.

The Light Temple was not spacious enough to accommodate too many people, nor could everyone be let in, as that would lead to chaos.

Thus, visiting the God of Light was quota-limited, and these spots had long been distributed among various parties.

Some were for personal use, while others were resold; externally, numerous people sought to obtain this opportunity at a high price.

Especially those devout followers of the God of Light, willing to give everything they had for this spot, making the Blessing Festival a lucrative time for all sides each year.

Though Jack did not explicitly state, Duke quickly understood the underlying situation.

Human nature is the same everywhere, he thought, even with the God of Light, some are leveraging it for business.

Were it any other time, the Knight Hall could directly arrange it, but being a special time now, even the Knight Hall couldn't intervene, as it involved many interests, extremely complicated.

Duke felt a bit helpless, realizing that if so, he might have to wait a month, wasting some time.

However, Jack thought for a moment and said, "But there is a way; during the Blessing Festival, Kabro City is overrun with people from all sides lacking manpower. Our Knight Hall personnel are mostly deployed everywhere to maintain order."

"If you are willing, I can arrange for you to go over to the Light Temple to help maintain order just during the few days of the Blessing Festival. Once there, you can conduct the visitation yourself without occupying a spot."

Duke thought about it; this wasn't a bad option, at least it could save some time.

As for maintaining order, he could just handle it casually; in a place like Kabro City, someone of higher rank would take care of it if anything happened, no need for a heroic effort.
