"So, how do you think master?"

After listening to what Li Lin told her, Anjie narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking, and as if she was observing the man in front of her.

"Why are you so sure that the gods did not intervene in this war? According to your story, the power of the magic empire is so powerful that they can be on par with the gods. So, won't those gods deal with them because of jealousy or threats? I've read a lot of novels on this aspect. Those gods eliminate objects that may hinder themselves in order to eliminate potential threats. Although these novels are just the result of human beings' bored delusions and add their own selfish desires, they might make some sense."

“That’s impossible.”

Li Lin shook his head firmly.

"Because the arcane mages are familiar with the gods, as long as there are gods involved in it, we can definitely feel their power. And for some reasons, we can be sure that God will not intervene in it. You must know that since it is a war, there will be prisoners. We have captured a lot of people and tortured a lot of information. If there are really fanatical believers, then we can also get this information. But in fact, there is no trace of gods in all the information we get. Although some people claim that they have obtained the God metaphor, arcane mages have ways to judge whether they have contacted the gods. Not to mention, the interests of some gods are closely related to the magic empire, and our failure is by no means the scene they want to see."

"Although you said that, I think you won't lie. But..."

Angela looked at Li Lin quietly and pointed out the most important point.

"I have never seen any of the gods who have a close relationship with the magic empire. Apart from the previous pair of dogs and men, I have not seen any clergymen outside the Temple of Justice, and I have never seen the temples of those gods along the way, and even the temples of the very familiar goddess of dawn you mentioned, I have not even seen the shadows."

That's exactly that.

Angela's words are simple and clear, but they are unacceptable.

Except for the temple of the God of Justice, no trace of other temples was seen in the city where everyone was traveling. Li Lin was always suspicious and confused. However, he felt that this idea was too ridiculous. Did the God of Justice really kill other gods? Not to mention how crazy and feasible the plan is, just having such an idea will make people feel difficult to understand.

What is this good for the God of Justice?

"So, no conclusion can be made at present."

He said to Angela.

"We still have to move forward with doubts."

“And then resolve all the questions.”

Angela showed a cruel and complacent smile.

“As you wish.”

After a brief discussion, Li Lin fell into silence again. He knew very well that he was a person from this world, so he always had preconceived ideas from the standpoint of looking at problems. Just as people in that world always tried to find answers through scientific research after encountering mysterious phenomena. After Li Lin encountered questions, he would first apply his own experience, experience and knowledge to make judgments. Therefore, he needed Anjiela to help him analyze these problems from another angle. She was not clear about, did not understand the magic empire, and knew nothing about the world. Sometimes, it was this kind of ignorance that could see the real answer.

The mountain road was a bit rugged, but the solid carriage only had some slight shaking. This irregular shaking seemed like a gentle cry, almost causing people to fall asleep. Li Lin stared at the scenery outside the window, and he had a bad premonition, as if something was walking with them and was quietly peeking at them. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes.

"wrong!"

Li Lin was shocked suddenly. He no longer cared about hiding his strength and reached out to take a step forward. Soon, magic runes flashed, and then a harsh scream came. Several translucent figures jumped out of the carriage. They were thin all over, looking like an old woman, but the dark holes in their eyes were full of death, without any desire for life, only deep surrender and curse.

"It's a banshee!!"

The knights riding on the horse were also a little drowsy, although theoretically, moving forward on such a dangerous road should have been a little bit energetic. But for some reason, the knights completely ignored this point. Except for Duncan, who had been vigilant to survive, almost everyone was stunned by this harsh scream. Although the horses were also a little flustered by this sudden fright, they were well-trained and quickly returned to peace with the quick reaction of the paladins. Duncan, who first reacted, shouted loudly, pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sacred light instantly enveloped the knight's body, making him look sacred and inviolable.

"Get out of here, the ghost of death, the evil seducer!"

He shouted, and the pure white light grew a little more.

"Don't appear before us again in the name of the God of Justice!"

With Duncan's angrily shout, the banshee surrounding the carriages began to retreat gradually, but they did not leave, but still hovered around, seemingly unwilling to disperse.

"What happened?"

Mina and Fina seemed to have woken up at this moment. They walked out of the carriage and soon saw the banshee hovering nearby, and their faces were pale.

But at this moment, there was another scene in Li Lin's carriage.

"I have already shown my purpose, Guardian."

Li Lin reached out and pressed it in the air, and under his palm, a transparent banshee was staring at the human in front of him coldly.

"Why are you still attacking us?"

"Human... die... order..."

The banshee struggled and tried to escape from Li Lin's palm, but failed. Her answer made Li Lin's eyes soften slightly.

"That order has been abolished, Guardian..."

He continued.

"Thank you for your protection."

""

The banshee was silent, she stared at Li Lin, her dry eyes were filled with nothingness. Then, she spoke again, her voice still hoarse.

"……remuneration…………"

"According to the agreement, of course I can give it to you, what do you want?"

Faced with Li Lin's questions, the banshee was silent again, and Li Lin did not speak. At this moment, they had given up language communication and changed to ideological communication.

"I want those paladins, the controllers, I want their souls, their desperate souls."

"I can give it to you, but not now."

Li Lin replied carefully, considering his words.

"I want those two girls..."

"This won't work."

This time, facing the Banshee's request, Li Lin refused without hesitation.

"This is my companion's toy, I can't give it to you."

"Master, why bother talking nonsense with her!"

Angela's sweet, crisp and equally vicious voice, perhaps a hundred times more evil than a banshee, also appeared in the communication of thoughts.

"For such an ugly woman who is old and yellow, and who is dry and only has skin left, it is the best way to eliminate it directly, isn't it?"

Perhaps he noticed Anjie's power, or perhaps he thought he had received enough reward, the banshee, after watching the two of them for a moment, did not say anything more, but quickly disappeared into the ring on Li Lin's finger. Perhaps, even the banshee, who lured others to die and gave despair, could easily feel the powerful power of the two people in front of him.

"Master, why are you helping this old woman?"

Angela complained a little dissatisfied.

“This is what I should have done.”

As he said that, Li Lin opened the car door, his expression instantly became solemn, and then he returned to his original expression.

"Because... I summoned them out in the first place."

When Li Lin walked off the carriage, the paladins and the priests were confronting the banshees. Although their sacred power could ensure that the banshees would no longer approach them. However, the paladins who lacked the means of ranged attack could not expel the banshees hovering in the distance, and could only stand there with staring blankly. Although the two priests were praying in a low voice, they did not help.

The moment Li Lin opened the car door, the banshees seemed to have received new instructions. They circled and wailed again, then jumped away, and returned to the endless void.

"Everyone cheer up!"

It was not until the Banshee disappeared that Duncan breathed a long sigh. He wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and shouted angrily. It was obvious that Duncan was a little dissatisfied with the reactions of these paladins. Although this time due to the special situation, he had to find some inexperienced chicks to participate in the exploration, the current situation still made him very angry.

"Put your spirits, don't be confused anymore! This is the capital of the magic empire, the center of evil forces! Even the road here may bring danger, and even the shadows can become the deadliest enemy! This is not to deal with wolves and bandits in the wild, as relaxed as before, will only bring death!"

Under his anger, the paladins lowered their heads in shame. After all, they almost used the magic of the banshee just now. If they continued to maintain the half-sleeping consciousness, then it can be foreseeable that their final destination was to fall into the bottomless abyss. And their desperate souls would also become the sweetest food for the banshee.

Anyway, sooner or later you will only face death.
