Chapter 43: Selling at a High Price

Before the Phantom Goddess came out, there was actually a discordant voice.

A voice that was almost a high-pitched male voice crossed the void and went straight into Raven's mind.

"No—you can't! I launched the Shadow Festival, and this man's soul is mine! Give him to me, and I will make a contract with you......"

"Get out! No matter how funny I am, I won't be wronged by what kind of contract I signed with a shadow orb! Raven decisively ignored the howl of the Shadow Orb.

Raven's guess was right. This Shadow Orb has become self-aware, and it has been preparing to enter the Legendary Rank early, and even the old thief has been bewitched by it, and then it has provoked so many good hands to come to the Shadow Plain.

In other words, it's almost finished.

Raven is going to be the boss, of course he won't find a emperor to come back and and pee on his head.

Before the Shadow Orb could say something, a faint mist rolled out of the Red Knight's strategy chessboard and flew into the distance, and within a few seconds, Raven heard the screams of the Shadow Orb.

He knew that the doppelganger projection of the Phantom Goddess was about to come out.

"For this unexpected sacrifice, I took a moment to make sure that I was safe around me." Accompanied by a cold female voice, a fair female figure wrapped in a thick fog emerged from the chessboard.

"Hello! Ms. Mist. Raven stood up and saluted the Misty Girl. The Mist Lady is another name for the phantom goddess Leila, and is generally out of respect, and mortals do not call her by her first name, often using the other name of the god as an honorific title.

"This is your sacrifice?" The Mist Lady's cold gaze scanned the audience, and finally focused on Ellison, whose body was still twitching slightly.

"That's right! I heard that you are fighting a divine war against Ciric. I think you'll love my gift. ”

"Oh oh! Priest of Ciric...... He turned out to be a priest with the qualifications of the elect. Ha! It also comes with 1 point of divinity. He's one of the twelve priests under Ciric, right? I'm sorry, but the identities of Ciric's priests are a mystery, and I only know the names of a handful of them. ”

Despite complaining about the unreliability of the Phantom Goddess, Raven respectfully added, "He's Ellison Stinger." Although his strength is only at the Silver Rank, he is a new priest that Ciric values very much. ”

The light mist of the Phantom Goddess brushed over the dead Ellison, and with it took his soul, and Lyra spoke again: "The trickery of the Lord of Lies has made me a little nervous. I have to be very cautious. May I hear how you made this priest lose his divine favor? Oh, wait a minute...... Ha ha! I could sense that Shirek was calling out to this Ellison in a hurry. ”

When Raven heard this, he struck a spirit: Fortunately, I killed Ellison when Ciric was hot-headed and withdrew from the gods, otherwise Ciric's attention will come back, and with the qualifications of Ellison's God's chosen people, once he forces Ciric, he will play God Descent every minute. Even one incarnation of Ciric is enough to play me to death 10,000 times.

"Nothing, I happened to get a dagger with a map of the floating islands in it. Unfortunately, the location of that little floating island is Bane's lair. ”

In front of the gods, there is no point in lying unless you have Ciric's lying powers as a cover. You may be able to hide it, but you must not lie. The gods have an uncanny intuition and can easily tell the truth of your words.

So Raven just said it.

The phantom goddess Leila was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, before she suddenly burst into a joyful laugh: "Hahahaha! I'm laughing to death! I'm laughing to death! Are you saying that the map of the floating islands that Ciric managed to get his hands on actually only pointed to a small island, and that island was on Banne's territory? ”

Bane, the god of tyranny, is another bitter enemy of Ciric. Some of the priesthood of death that Shirek now holds is inherited from Bane. On one occasion, when many of Bane's followers joined Ciric, four of the twelve priests of Shirek had been Bane's priests.

Later, Bann unscrupulously sacrificed his son and resurrected him through his body. Then Bane, who tried to reclaim the believers and the priesthood, was carried with Ciric.

The two gods fought on and off for years.

Of course, most of the time, Bane, who is a powerful god, is beating Ciric.

Now hearing Cirek deflated, Layla of course had to laugh out loud.

"Yes!" Raven's affirmative reply provoked a new round of laughter from Lyra.

"Hahaha!" With the sound of silver bell-like laughter, Leila smiled forward and backward, and the flowers and branches were spreading. Raven even suspected that she was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her eyes.

It's no wonder that the divine war between her and Ciric is in the first phase, and their followers are fighting each other. Killing the opponent's followers to weaken the opponent's divine power base is the most common method in divine warfare. When it comes to frontal combat, Leila's followers are nothing short of Ciric's men.

The problem is that Ciric's men have always played stealth. Many of the believers have dual identities, and outsiders can't tell who is a follower of Shirek, let alone catch their important priest.

As a result, Leila's followers were almost assassinated.

After a few months of divine warfare, Leila was already exhausted.

If it weren't for Raven's appearance, it wouldn't be long before Lyra would have been like in the previous Raven game, because a large number of believers were killed and her divine power weakened, and then when she was forced to let go, she encountered Hiric and the god of thieves Mess teamed up to plot and was killed by the God Eater Sword that Messe had turned into.

Raven doesn't know if his presence will change Lyra's fate.

But he wouldn't mind using Lyra's hand to pit Ciric.

"Dear Lady Mist, I'm glad you're so pleasant."

Leila clutched her stomach and replied for a long time: "I am very satisfied with your gift, let's say, what kind of reward do you want." I'd be happy to offer a fair reward to anyone who deals with Ciric. ”

"That'...... I want to get your 1 point of phantom divinity, Lady Mist. ”

Leila was stunned for a moment, as if biting her lip: "I ......"

"Lady Mist?"

Leila's hesitation made Raven a little upset: Hey, hey! I'm the one who killed your opponent and sent it away. And the divinity is one for one, you are hesitant?

In his heart, Raven has already labeled the Phantom Goddess as a miser.

"One-for-one, that's numerically fair. But to take away my divinity and digest the divinity of Ciric is not cost-effective for me, who has far less divinity than Ciric. ”

When Raven heard this, he almost wanted to summon the divine beast Grass Mud Horse on the spot to greet Lyra.

As if aware of her unkindness, Lyra hesitated for a moment and then proposed a second plan: "In this way, as long as you sacrifice another Priest of Shirek or bring 1 of his divinity, I can give you 1 point of phantom divinity." Of course, Ellison won't do you any wrong......"

Lyra glanced around, "Your Soul Golem is ruined, right?" ”

It's okay that Leila didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Raven's heart was broken. The strangled golem that was finally signed back was burned into a pile of rope ashes by Ellison's faith**, and the three nearby Shadow Steel Golems were completely destroyed. If Leila doesn't give a satisfactory return, Raven swears that he will definitely open champagne to celebrate Leila's fall.

"I can help you reforge the Soul Golem, dispose of the Shadow Orb here, and give you a superb dagger."

As soon as Raven heard it, there was a play!

"Is there anything else I could ask for?" Raven asked greedily.

Leila was visibly annoyed: "No! Doing this has already consumed a lot of my divine power. ”

"Okay, deal!" Raven nodded, and Leila threw a small sacrificial plate to Raven, and the whole figure disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? That's it? ”

Just as he was about to say something, Raven noticed a light mist rushing towards him.

Raven didn't dodge, letting the mist get into his nostrils.

And then...... He was killed by a series of system prompts.

"Lady Mist's Blessing: You have been favored by Ms. Mist, a blessing with divine powers that grants you permanent +2 Charisma and gains the Weak Cold Resistance feat."

"You have gained the passive specialization Mist Haunting: When you are physically attacked, Reflection Gain Permanent +2 and Self Armor +10. All your skills involving Fog and Phantom gain +2 modifiers. When an enemy uses Recon on you, gain -5 Penalty Judgment. Due to the presence of a slight mist on your body for a long time, lightning is vulnerable to +1. ”

"The Mist Lady used her divine powers to protect the soul of your soul servant Rope One and placed it in a repaired Shadowsteel Golem."

"You've got a large Shadowsteel Golem!"
