Chapter 228 The Situation of the Saints

He suppressed the urge in his heart to look down on Lucilla, and forced a peaceful smile on his face: "Miss Lucilla, I didn't mean to drag you into the water."

"You don't have to test me anymore."

"My words are my truest thoughts."

Lucilla was still hesitant.

She didn't believe the old fox in front of her.

If it were a war without becoming a god, facing her ability, there is a high probability that he would expose his truest thoughts out of arrogance.

However, now the two of them are no longer on the same level.

Her internal strength is not that easy to use anymore.

Shadow saw Lucilla's worry.

He understood that Lucilla did not want to offend the gambler.

But the bribe had been established, and it was only a matter of time before Lucila was instigated by him.

So he is not in a hurry now.

Just when Lucila was silent, Lu Xiao behind him couldn't help it.

He came closer and stood next to Shadow.

Lu Xiao's eyes fell on Lucila's delicate and small face.

He stuck out his tongue and licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said to the shadow: "Is this your friend?"

Shadow smiled and nodded: "Yes, this noble lady is my friend."

Lu Xiao nodded regretfully and sighed in his heart: "Friends of friends are friends, friends can't eat, alas~~"

Then he looked at Lucilla.

He forced out a smile that he thought was handsome and said, "This beautiful lady."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Lu Xiao, with a smiling face."

After introducing himself, he rubbed the corners of his clothes a little nervously.

"You smell so good, can you let me take a lick?"

Lucilla: "???"

Those beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the arrogance on his face became more obvious.

The tall Qiong nose twitched slightly, and then said with an arrogant face: "Provoking a noble with words is a capital crime!"

Shadow only felt a headache at this time.

At this time, he had a deeper understanding of the director's words, "Be optimistic about Lu Xiao."

But no matter how much headache he had, he couldn't let Lucilla take action against Lu Xiao.

Now he doesn't think Lucila is Lu Xiao's opponent.

He was deeply afraid that Lu Xiao would tear Lucy into pieces, which would affect his plan.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and broke off a finger again and handed it to Lu Xiao.

He smiled at Lu Xiao and said, "Protect He Shang and don't let him be in any danger."

He made a double entendre.

Since Lu Xiao could be prevented from taking action against Lucy, He Shang could reasonably be prevented from being in danger.

Lu Xiao naturally didn't know what Shadow was thinking. He patted his chest and made a "bang bang bang" sound.

"Wrap it around me."

Lu Xiao knew very well that if you accept someone's benefit, you should do your best to help them.

So he didn't worry about licking it anymore.

He turned around and trotted to He Shang's side, looking around cautiously, as if on guard.

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then looked at Lucilla with an apologetic look.

"Sorry, this friend of mine rarely interacts with people, so his words may be a little incomprehensible."

"You should have noticed that he didn't mean any harm."

Hearing Shadow's words, Lucila turned her head and snorted.

Obviously he was very dissatisfied with what Lu Xiao said just now.

But due to Shadow's strength, even as arrogant as she is, she has to compromise.

Shadow continued to persuade: "Don't worry, I will never compete with gamblers for the position of chief."

He knew Lucilla's concern was a matter of taking sides.

In the past saints, Nick Ryder was the only god, and there was an unknown master above him, so naturally there would be no problem of taking sides.

Even if everyone has their own thoughts, they cannot show them in front of Nick Ryder.

At most, it can be done secretly.

But now it's different.

Nick Ryder fell, and the gambler and the Pope became gods.

The two people, who already have their own thoughts, will naturally compete with each other.

As for Cthulhu, whom they openly believe in, they don’t know whether they are dead or alive.

The remaining people naturally need to choose a team.

But the gambler punished the Pope in front of everyone. This was to prove that he was the most powerful god among the saints.

As long as they are not stupid, no one will join the Pope's team.

And the current situation has become even more complicated because of his becoming a god.

Shadow went through the rites of passage and became a god on his own, at least in Lucilla's eyes.

Then the character and situation of the saints will definitely change.

If you stand on the wrong team at this time, the consequences are self-evident.

But Shadow couldn't clearly explain his dealings with gamblers.

Who would have thought that the two leaders of such a cult organization are both rebellious people with ulterior motives.

Lucila didn't rush to answer, but put the fingers handed over by Shadow into her mouth.

She sucked it gently for a moment, then chewed it and swallowed it directly.

The flesh and blood of gods is still very useful to her.

Although it can't make her become a god directly, it can make her god-making ceremony go more smoothly.

Now that Nick Ryder has died, he has lost the possibility of being endowed with divinity and becoming a god. If he wants to become a god, he can only complete the god ritual on his own.

This is why she hesitates now.

Because the shadow used the flesh and blood of the gods to buy her, she couldn't refuse.

Of course, she could also go to the gambler and ask for his flesh and blood.

But according to the gambler's temperament, Lucilla was sure that the gambler would gamble his life with her on the spot.

Shadow looked at Lucilla's enjoyment and knew in his heart that the deal had been made.

It was nothing more than increasing the bargaining chips.

As long as He Shang could join the Saints, any price would be worth it.

As expected.

After a while, Lucilla looked at Shadow, and the arrogance on her face faded.

"Mr. War, can you tell me why you asked him to join the Saints?"

Shadow nodded. There was nothing to hide about this.

Because the next thing would inevitably be known to other members of the Saints.

He said calmly: "I want to start the godhood ceremony for my students."

Hearing Shadow's words, Lucilla looked at him deeply and said.

"Mr. War, I hope you didn't lie to me."

"Otherwise I will be very vengeful."

Shadow nodded, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Beautiful Miss Lucilla, how could I bear to lie to you?"

Seeing that his ability had no effect on Shadow, Lucilla also gave up the temptation.

She knew that the most important thing she should do at this moment was to ask for more.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

She raised her hand to put her hair behind her ears, and said, "Mr. War, my godhood ritual has also reached a critical step."

Shadow nodded, indicating that he understood.

He pointed to the direction of the plane crash in the distance and said,

"Go there and look for it. You won't be disappointed."

As Lucila's psychological defenses relaxed, Shadow activated his ability.
