Chapter 88 Shelter

  "Kaa, Karin... I'm not what you think I am." This time, Raven stuttered.

  Karin's eyes sparkled as she giggled: "Brother, I was thinking of a certain woman who doesn't know her limits and doesn't know the rules, trying to entangle you, but being directly rejected by you. Then... what does 'it's not like that' mean?"

  Although Raven wanted to give a thumbs up for Carlin's cleverness, he found that when Carlin said it to this extent, he was completely speechless!

  On that side, an even more exaggerated thing happened. Sains actually sheathed his sword and knelt down in front of Karin: "I... can I call you sister?"

  Leiwen suddenly thought of death... The sound of countless crows cawing echoed in his ears.

  Even Karin was at a loss for words.

  As for age, Sains is also not very old, but he is absolutely several years older than the Raven siblings. Faced with such a messy requirement, Karin was also suffocated for a moment.

  Leiwen rubbed his temples. It's really chaotic since ancient times. How many mountains and rivers will the Phantom Goddess exhaust before she will force her few fanatical believers to do this?

  "Alright, alright, you go back and tell Leila that if she has anything to say, she can say it tomorrow. If the price is right, I might be willing to help."

  Lavin's words made Sains feel like he had been pardoned, and it seemed that only now did he realize how exposed he was. "Ah" he cried out, covering his slightly revealed privates.

  "Er, should I slap you?" Sains asked.

  "Please don't."

  "Oh." Then Sains disappeared.

  Over there, at the corner of the corridor, a certain red-haired woman was laughing so hard she couldn't catch her breath.

  Karin was startled and hastily bowed her head in greeting.

  “……Miss Fire, is this really suitable?” As soon as Raven entered Sains' room, she felt that something was off. In a place like this, it wouldn't be possible to deceive Shuni, the master of the house. It's possible that Shuni had deliberately let Sains in to make fun of Raven.

  "How lovely!" The embodiment of the goddess of love and beauty, unashamedly showing off her full and perfect figure to people, while lightly tossing her fiery red curly hair.

  Lei Wen was speechless.

  "I just want to see what kind of person this young man is, who can push the great Murder God Shriek into a desperate situation with such low strength." Sunny's fiery red lips unconsciously licked.

  "It's visible now."

  "It's seen, yet unseen." Shuni seemed to be speaking in riddles. With a wave of her hand, the scene before them changed. Raven and Carlin found themselves transported by Shuni to a sumptuous room they didn't recognize.

  “……”

  "I have to admit, you are the most formidable young person I've ever met. No one has ever been able to influence so many gods with such a low level of power."

  What can Leif say? He could only remain silent, quietly gazing at this beautiful goddess.

  "I don't like you because there's an aura of evil around you. My faction and yours are in a state of absolute hostility."

  "Lord God..." Karin panicked, but was stopped by Shuni's hand gesture.

  Sunny wasn't wrong, she's chaotic good, Raven is lawful evil.

  "But I also like you, because your people and what you do are very much in line with my aesthetics. However, one of the high-ranking priests under me has proposed to destroy this evil existence that is you. So, what should I do with you?"

  Lei Wen didn't answer directly, instead saying: "Huofa lady, you've always been a goddess who follows her own heart, haven't you?"

  Shuni was taken aback, then burst out laughing uncontrollably.

  Some beauties' smiles can overthrow cities and countries.

  But the smiles of these beauties are absolutely incomparable to Shu Ni's. It was a kind of smile that could infect people. Watching Shu Ni laugh, one would unconsciously become infatuated with her, and even have the thought that dying for her would be worth it in that instant.

  Leiwen barely managed to hold on.

  Levin's strong will earned Shuni a few more approving glances: "I sense the aura of fate on you. I don't know what it represents, but losing one child of fate doesn't do me any good. You can go, whether you help Laila or join the evil camp, as long as you don't harm my church's people, this place will be your eternal sanctuary... until..."

  "Until when?"

  "Until I am sick of you."

  Levin only felt that dealing with the chaotic camp was exhausting. However, no matter what, having a reliable backing was ultimately a good thing. Xiliek himself ran out of the divine domain, unable to receive the power of faith from his followers or grant them divine magic. It's estimated that on the continent of Azeroth, he would lose many of his followers.

  One thing is certain, Shrek's twelve most loyal priests, especially the eight remaining ones (excluding the traitor Flan), will definitely come to trouble Raven whenever they have a chance.

  It can be said that having more and more powerful backers like Shu Ni is better.

  Shuni didn't say much more and let Raven leave.

  It was getting late, and Raven felt it would be a bit improper to go to Carine's bedroom. What if he had to face the choice of being a beast or worse than a beast again?

  "Carlin, actually I just came to see you. Then tell you, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. Uh, here, this is for you."

  The gift to Karin was a golden-tier magic shortsword with the spells 【Scorching Ray】 and 【Sunlight Ray】, one of which could cause burns to enemies, while the other could blind them. It's considered a fairly practical weapon.

  Karin was overjoyed. She could already imagine the envious glances from her friends and classmates when they saw the short sword the next day.

  Taking advantage of Raven's unpreparedness, she was about to quickly leave a pink cherry lip print on Raven's cheek with a kiss. However, she was shocked to discover that behind Raven, an eerie misty female figure had appeared out of nowhere.

  "Ah?!"

  Lei Wen also sensed something was off, turned around and drew his sword, then froze.

  He suddenly found out that the comer was the Phantom Goddess Laila.

  "Raven, I have something to ask you."

  Lei Wen glanced around.

  "Laila said: 'Shu Ni knows I'm coming, I won't mess around, she won't bother me. I don't fit her aesthetic, nor will I be hated by her.'"

  “……”

  "Can we find somewhere to talk?"

  The goddess had begged to this extent, Raven could only nod his head.

  "Carine, talk to you next time. Brother, I'm a bit busy..."

  Karin's eyes were filled with admiration, she thought Raven was so awesome, he had just defeated that annoying Sherryk, and then he received the favor of Goddess Shuni, in no time, the Phantom Goddess came to him. Those emperors of the great empires weren't as cool as him!

  "Yeah, bro you're busy, but if you have time to visit me, I'll be really touched."

  Leiwen gave a apologetic smile.

  Outside the dormitory, the carriage with the altar was standing again. Sains had changed back into his formal attire and resumed his cold demeanor. When Raven walked by, she still bowed to him.

  Enter in, and Raven sat down, with Sains serving tea beside him.

  Laila gets straight to the point.

  "I have to admit, you're a very capable young person. To be honest, I'm in a terrible situation. I was on the verge of despair, but it was at that moment that I thought of you first."

  As for this high hat, Raven was exempt if possible, and had no special reaction. He waited for Laila to continue.

  "Shrek was banished from the divine realm, I temporarily don't have any direct danger. But I'm also about to fall."

  "Oh?"

  "My followers have all run away. Not just the superficial believers, but even some of the devout ones have chosen to leave my church. Now I'm left with only over 300 followers who fled from the Holy Land, and together with over 100 followers from the Kingdom of Galilee, I don't even have 500 followers."

  Casual followers are very basic followers. Devout followers are more devout followers who recruit new followers for a particular god. A higher level is brainless die-hard fanatics.

  Laila laid her cards on the table with Raven.

  "In fact, before Shirek left the divine domain, I was ambushed by Shirek and the thief god Maesk in a joint operation. I suffered heavy injuries and had to sacrifice most of the praying souls within the divine domain to heal myself. Now I am extremely weak, having almost lost all my divine powers. If I lose these last four hundred or so followers as well, I will surely fall."

  Lei Wen did not answer yes or no, but instead asked: "What is your problem now?"

  "The Princess of Eiffel in the Kingdom of Colen Paise is my devout follower. The King of Colen Paise is not. He refused entry to my followers and expelled every specter follower he could find, and ordered Eiffel to renounce her faith. Eiffel is a good kid, I don't want to implicate her. Although she appeared to obey the king's order on the surface, in secret she prepared food, drinking water, tents and other living necessities for my followers."

  Leila sighed and continued, "Now the biggest problem is that my followers have nowhere to go. Most of the surrounding countries are hostile to my followers. Although Lady Sha'ril expressed willingness to accept me..." Leila smiled bitterly at this point: "If I really went under Sha'ril's command, I would be eaten alive."

  Levin thought to himself: Fortunately, you're not stupid enough. Dealing with that cunning female demon Sharu, with your IQ, you'd be sold out and still help the other person count their money without even realizing it. Alas, letting you act cool, not even one ally... When a god is mixed up to this point, your followers are truly unfortunate.

  Lei Wen listened and thought for a moment: "Do you want me to help find a place for your followers now?"

  "It's best if it's a humid and complex terrain, so I can also use divine power to create an elementary puzzle lock to protect my followers."

  Leiwen took a sip of tea: "Your demands are quite many. Speak, what price can you pay to exchange for such a territory."

  "Really!?" Laila and Sains simultaneously lit up. The followers of this batch were all in the territory of the human kingdom, and the fiefs of various nobles were connected together, almost to the point where a needle could not be inserted. Letting them cross borders to migrate would be even more dangerous.

  Now looking at Raven with a playful expression, Layla was almost ecstatic.

  "Whatever." Raven calmly took another sip of his tea, he really couldn't think of what else Leila, who was as poor as a church mouse, had to offer that could move him. To put it bluntly, once Leila left the Divine Kingdom, she would be ambushed by Merske, and the remaining forces were not even a match for Raven.

  Levin quietly waited for Laila's offer.

  Unexpectedly, Leila dropped a bombshell, leaving Raven stunned and reeling...
