Chapter 43 Selling at a High Price
Before the Phantom Goddess came out, there was actually a discordant voice.
A voice resembling a sharp male voice crossed the void and directly entered Raven's mind.
No—you can't do this! I launched the Shadow Ritual, and this person's soul is mine! Give him to me, so that I am willing to sign a contract with you...
Get lost! No matter how funny I am, I won't wrong myself to sign a contract with a shadow orb! Lei Wen decisively ignored the howling of the shadow orb.
Raven's guess was right. This shadow orb already has self-awareness, it is ready to step into the legendary level early, even the old thief was bewitched by it, and then so many experts were provoked to come to the Shadow of Absolute Plain.
In other words, this product is about to become fine.
Lei Wen is going to be the boss, of course he won't find an overlord to come back and shit on his head.
The Shadow Orb wanted to say something, but a thin mist rolled out from the [Red Knight's Strategy Board] and flew into the distance. Within a few seconds, Lei Wen heard the scream of the Shadow Orb.
He knew that the clone projection of the Phantom Goddess was about to come out.
For this unexpected sacrifice, I took some time to confirm the safety of the surroundings. Accompanied by a cold female voice, a slim female figure wrapped in a thick fog emerged from the chessboard.
Hello! Lady of the Mist. Raven stood up and saluted the Mist. Lady of the Misty is another name for the phantom goddess Laila. Generally out of respect, mortals will not call her by her name directly, and often use another name of a god as a respectful title.
This is your sacrifice? Ms. Misty's cold eyes scanned the audience, and finally the focus fell on Ellison, whose body was still slightly twitching.
Yes! I heard you're in a battle of the gods with Cyric. I think you'll like my gift.
Oh, oh! Cyric's priest...is actually a priest with the qualifications of the chosen people. Ha! He also has 1 point of divinity. He is one of the twelve priests under Cyric's command? Sorry, Cyric's priests The identity of the priests is a mystery, and I only know the names of a few priests.
Although he complained violently about the unreliability of the Phantom Goddess in his heart, Raven added respectfully: He is Ellison * Stinger. Although his strength is only silver-level, he is a new priest that Cyric values very much.
The mist of the Phantom Goddess brushed over the dying Ellison and took away his soul. Lyra spoke again: The tricks of the king of lies make me a little nervous. I must be very careful. I can listen to you How did this priest lose his favor? Oh, wait a minute... haha! I can feel Cyric calling anxiously for this Ellison.
When Raven heard this, he shuddered: Fortunately, I killed Ellison when Cyric was hotheaded and withdrew the gods, otherwise Cyric's attention came back, and with Ellison's aptitude as the chosen one of God, once forced to In a hurry, Cyric played God's Fall every minute. Even one avatar of Cyric is enough to kill me ten thousand times.
It's nothing, I just got a dagger with a map of the floating island in it. Unfortunately, the location of that small floating island is Bane's lair.
In the presence of the gods, there is no point in lying unless you have Cyric's power of lies as a cover. Maybe you can hide it, but you must not lie. The gods have extraordinary intuition and can easily tell the truth of your words.
So Raven just said it straight.
The phantom goddess Laila was stunned for two seconds before bursting into joyful laughter: Hahahaha! I laughed so hard! I laughed so hard! You mean the floating island that Cyric managed to get. The map actually just points to a small island, and that island is on Bane's territory?
Bane, the god of tyranny, is another bitter and bitter enemy of Cyric. Part of the priesthood of death in Cyric's hands is inherited from Bane. Bane died once, when many of Bane's followers joined Cyric, four of the twelve priests of Cyric were once Bane's priests.
Later, Ben unscrupulously sacrificed his son and resurrected with his son's body. Then Bane, who was trying to regain the believers and priesthood, was carried on with Cyric.
The two gods fought off and on for many years.
Of course, most of the time it was the powerful Bane who was beating Cyric.
Now hearing Cyric deflate, Lyra of course had to laugh out loud.
Yes! Raven's affirmative reply provoked another round of laughter from Laila.
Hahaha! Accompanied by a silver bell-like laughter, Laila leaned forward and backward with a smile, showing off her beautiful branches. Lei Wen even suspected that she burst into tears from laughing.
It's no wonder that the god war between her and Cyric is in the first stage, and their followers are attacking each other. Killing the opponent's believers to achieve the purpose of weakening the foundation of the opponent's divine power is the most commonly used method in the battle of gods. In terms of frontal combat, Laila's disciples are no match for Cyric's men.
The problem is, Cyric's men have always been occultists. Many believers have dual identities. It is impossible for outsiders to tell who is a follower of Cyric, let alone capture their important priests.
As a result, Leila's followers were almost overwhelmingly assassinated.
After several months of battle, Laila was already exhausted.
If there is no Raven, Lyra will probably be like in the previous Raven game, because a large number of believers were killed and the divine power was weakened, and then when she was forced to give it a go, she ran into Cyric and the god of thieves, Mai Musk joined forces to conspire and was killed by the God-eating Sword transformed by Mask.
Raven didn't know whether his presence would change Laila's fate.
But he wouldn't mind giving Cyric a hard time at the hands of Lyra.
Dear Ms. Mist, I'm glad you're having such a good time.
Lila clutched her stomach, and it took a long time to reply: I am very satisfied with your gift, tell me what kind of reward you want. I am happy to provide a fair reward to anyone who deals with Cyric.
Then... I hope to get 1 point of phantom divinity from Ms. Misty.
Laila froze for a moment, seeming to be biting her lip: I...
Ms. Mist?
Leila's hesitation made Lei Wen a little upset: Hey, hey! I'm the one who killed your enemy and I packed it up. And divinity is one for one, you still hesitate?
In his mind, Raven had already branded Mirage Goddess as a miser.
One for one, this is fair in terms of value. But in exchange for my divinity, I have to digest Cyric's divinity. For me, whose divinity is far less than Cyric, this is not worthwhile.
When Lei Wen heard this, he almost wanted to summon the mythical grass-mud horse on the spot to greet Laila.
Seemingly aware of her unkindness, Lila hesitated for a moment and proposed the second plan: Well, as long as you sacrifice another Cyric twelve priest or bring his 1 point of divinity, I can give you 1 A bit of phantom divinity. Of course, I will not treat you badly about Ellison...
Lyra glanced around: Is your soul golem destroyed?
It was good that Laila didn't mention it, but Raven's heart was broken when he mentioned it. The strangled golem that was finally signed was burned to a pile of rope ashes by Ellison's [Faith **], and the three shadow steel golems nearby were completely destroyed. If Laila didn't give a satisfactory return, Raven swore that he would definitely celebrate with champagne when Laila fell.
I can help you recast the soul golem, deal with the shadow orb here, and give you a top-quality dagger.
When Lei Wen heard it, there was a joke!
Then what else can I ask for? Raven asked greedily.
Laila was visibly sullen: No way! I've already consumed a lot of energy after finishing all this.
Okay, deal! Lei Wen nodded, and Leila dropped a small sacrificial plate to Lei Wen, and the whole figure disappeared without a trace.
Huh? Are you leaving now?
Just when he was about to say something, Lei Wen found a cloud of light mist blowing towards him.
Raven didn't dodge, and let the mist penetrate his nostrils.
Then... He was so excited by the series of system prompts.
