The Misty Grand Canyon battle didn't bring Raven much profit from a personal gain perspective.
It wasn't easy to get rid of Shrek and Benn's armies, and even the legendary strongman was turned over, but Raven didn't have much direct gain.
It's not about killing others, so there's no need to talk about experience in slaughter.
Most of the corpses of the Monster Legion were handled by the subsequent troops of Mulan City, which was somewhat similar to a parliamentary system. Although the city lord had great power, mobilizing the Crazy Wind Magic Arrow Team for such a big thing without gaining anything in return would be unacceptable.
The dead dragons' scales and skin of the White Dragon Legion were cleaned up by the Holy Warriors. The Holy Warriors and priests of the Tom Church mostly wore heavy armor, while the white dragon skin-made leather armor was mainly supplied to those wandering knights. These lightly armored knights who traveled across the continent generally served as the eyes and ears of the Tom and Til Churches.
The oldest legendary Saint Warrior left a note for Raven, which was the list of this time's spoils.
"According to the established rules on the mainland, whoever provides accurate information can receive one-tenth of the spoils as a reward. It will take us about a week to count and clear the spoils, and once Harken's death is confirmed, you can collect your reward at any Tom or Till church in a major city on the continent within a week."
How much money can there be? Raven doesn't know, but definitely a lot.
Mulan City also made a promise of one-tenth of the spoils of war. The monster corps of Harken is quite capable, but unfortunately, they are all low-value monsters. Can dragon skin be as valuable as dragon skin? What good things can those poor goblins have with only a broken weapon and a loincloth? Anyway, Raven didn't expect much from this side either.
The most worthwhile comparison is the reward of Phantom Goddess.
Haraken gained another point of Murderous Intent. The Phantom Goddess recovered 8 points of Divinity and also increased her income, so she happily rewarded Raven with a bit more Phantom Divinity. What's even more ridiculous is that Laila actually wanted to pull Raven into the Phantom Church, promising him a spot as a reserve candidate for the Chosen of God.
For this kind of fallen god, Leila, Raven really looked down on her. As soon as she refused, Leila let out a cold snort and never bothered with Raven again, short of sending the phrase "ungrateful" to Raven.
Divinity is a good thing after all, especially when there are no side effects.
The divinity of each deity is elevated in a different way for human beings.
If it's the divine power of the god of war, then it would greatly enhance physical attributes such as strength, agility and physique. As for Phantom Divine Power... it hardly enhances basic attributes at all, 1 point of divine power only increases perception by 1 point.
As Phantom is an attribute type, its greatest effect is that Raven gains the ability to create and copy phantoms at will.
It was Raven's masterpiece that ambushed Harkeen earlier, the shadow of those mechanical monsters. The closer it is to oneself and the more one understands it thoroughly, the more realistic the shadow created will be, and naturally, the spiritual power required will also increase.
Most importantly, thanks to Phantom Spirituality, Raven finally officially had his first lifesaving skill.
Two points of Phantom Spirituality, Raven only used one point, and the other point he saved for upgrading Black Moon Blade. He also considered using both points of Phantom Spirituality himself.
Thought about it and gave up.
Having a bit of divinity is still a transaction. Two points? Except for the high priest or the chosen one of God, I've never heard of any god being so generous.
If you really use the two points of phantom divinity, it's like mud falling into your pants, and no matter what you say, it won't be clear. The name Raven will definitely be labeled as a Phantom Goddess by outsiders.
The foggy Grand Canyon has been dealt with, and now it's time to collect Haruken.
The third day of the Battle of Grand Canyon in the Misty Empire of Mosha.
Duke Daenerys is not doing well, he's going crazy, for 4 hours in a row, he's been drinking wildly, indulging in his concubines, it's just like that.
He couldn't imagine how furious Bane would be; he only knew that after losing nearly half of the White Dragon Knights, Bane absolutely wouldn't let him off lightly.
If, before this important battle, Duke Dasnil hadn't gone ahead to inform Bane of the sacrifice in advance, he would have offered a Sharrak priest as an offering, and perhaps tonight on Holy Day could still appease Bane's previous anger with holy warriors, unicorns, children or heavenly creatures that Bane likes.
But it's all over now.
Duke Dasniel really didn't know why he was suddenly excited and chose to inform this **** god in advance.
Mao's head is completely useless.
Bane prefers Shriek priests who are alive and have souls. This way, Bane can more grandly demonstrate his power and brutality.
Now, everything is over! Benn completely cannot tolerate any failure and will unhesitatingly throw loyal but failed servants into terrible severe punishment to ensure that others will continue to fully obey his demanding doctrine of submission.
The duke could imagine the spectacle of himself being tortured to death being transmitted through divine revelation into the mind of every Baptist.
At this moment, the duke's wife and children are all locked up in a secret room downstairs by him. Tonight, before the midnight ceremony of Saint Day begins, he will execute them first. At least they can have a decent death by the duke himself, and their souls won't fall into Benn's hands to suffer that eternal torment.
This ending is chilling just thinking about it.
But the duke had no choice.
He took a big gulp of wine, but the fine wine that used to be so delicious now tasted bitter no matter how he drank it.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency..."
The dazed and confused duke suddenly realized that the one calling him was his most loyal guardian, he had no doubt that if he were to die, this guardian would absolutely follow him into hell.
"Blast it all! Didn't I say no one was to disturb me?" A wine cup smashed open, the bed's silk curtains whipping over the guard's head.
Although he was drenched from head to toe, the guard showed no resentment, but instead had an undisguised look of surprise in his eyes: "The person who calls himself Dark Raven has arrived. He says that Harke is in his hands and is alive. He hopes to make a deal with Your Excellency."
The duke's eyes shone brighter than a hundred billion stars in an instant. He burst through the lovers' limbs and jumped out of bed at once.
"Hurry! Hurry and invite him to the living room. Oh, yes, let my wife and daughter wait in the side hall. And move all my treasures to the side hall as well."
Suddenly hearing the savior's arrival, the duke was like finding his ultimate redemption in the depths of despair, without a moment's hesitation, he directly prepared to stake everything.
A few minutes later, the Duke, hastily dressed, saw Raven, no, to be precise, Raven's newly acquired shadow clone, wrapped in a black robe, in the magnificent reception hall.
The duke and his strongest guard standing beside him didn't mind this at all.
"Is it true that 'Black Will' Harken is in your custody? Is he still alive? Hasn't his soul been taken away?" The duke hastened forward, without even sitting down. If it weren't for being too impolite, the duke wouldn't mind directly grasping Raven's phantom clone to ask him everything he wanted to know.
"A crippled Hierophant is of no use in appeasing the Black King, I am well aware of that." Raven's doppelganger replied with a smile.
"Good! What do you want?" The duke strode to the side of the drawing room, pushed open the large door leading to the side hall, revealing his frightened wife and daughter behind the door, as well as box after box of rare treasures guarded by the guards.
"As long as you give me Harlken, all of these are yours. No, everything I have can be given to you. Fame, status, women, land... even if I don't have them now, I'm willing to wage war for you to seize!" Duke Dasniel had clearly gone mad, his eyes were bloodshot, with a dense network of red veins covering the entire eyeball.
The duchess and her ladies, suddenly confronted with Raven's phantom clone, were initially terrified and uneasy. Under the duke's overwhelming pressure, they all realized that this mysterious black-robed man was extremely important to the duke, even to the point of sacrificing everything.
In the past two days, the duchess and the young ladies had had enough of that inexplicable fear, they more or less heard about their own fate.
In the face of a fearful future, they resolutely chose to submit to their fate. Without waiting for the duke's summons, they walked up to Raven and knelt down before him with tears in their eyes.
A cluster of white flowers almost dazzled someone's golden retriever eyes.
Unfortunately, he was just a phantom clone with only a small piece of Raven's soul fragment, and could do nothing but exchange information with the main body. If the main body was present, it might have been possible to hold on, but now it was too late...
"Duke, you're being too polite. I'm willing to offer Halkein unconditionally, as long as I can gain your friendship."
Free lunch? The Duke of Dastenyil wouldn't believe it even if you killed him. He was saying things like "From today on, you're my best friend" and other meaningless clichés while waiting for Raven's offer.
"Now that we're good friends, I hope the duke will grant me a small favor."
"Go ahead and say it."
"I want to get that 'Ultimate Frostguard'."
Even if the duke was prepared to pay any price, he still felt a few points of heartache. 'Ultimate Frost Guard' is a full-body leather armor made from the skin of a white dragon of ancient dragon grade. Just this one piece of armor can be exchanged for a real dukedom in any empire on the continent.
Duke Dastanil also got this thing by virtue of Bane's favor.
But since they had to buy their lives, they had to be willing to part with it. The duke immediately ordered the guards to hand over the "Ultimate Frost Guardian" to Raven. Not even showing any concern that Raven would take the item without paying for it.
As an aside, Raven reluctantly agreed to accept 1,000 Divine Gold Coins after delivery.
"Lastly, I have a small request. There are some black-robed kings who do not wish to meet with friends that I hope will witness the downfall of Harlken. Would it be possible to arrange this?"
The duke agreed at once.
Time went to midnight, on an open obsidian altar, the lights were shining brightly.
Haruku, who had originally given up on life, finally began to struggle violently when he saw the altar that only Bannett had, after having his blindfold removed.
"Damn it! Do you know what I've paid for you? But it's all worth it."
