Chapter 968

There was no doubt that Shien's words made the already heavy atmosphere quite oppressive.

The crowd led by Nadur seemed to want to say something, but they didn't know where to start.

Artemis had a complicated expression on her face. She glanced at Lilith, who was still confused about the situation. After a long time, she sighed.

"That's it then."

After saying that, Artemis turned and left.

With the departure of the goddess of justice, the atmosphere seemed to warm up a little, but it also seemed to become even more silent.

Shien watched Artemis leave, and then he suddenly remembered that the main purpose of coming to the elven homeland was to ask this goddess.

Lidas and Anima said that Artemis, as the goddess of justice, had directly challenged the Demon King.

In other words, Artemis was someone who had come into contact with the Demon King, unlike Lidas and Anima, who had only seen the Demon King from afar on the battlefield and saw the heroes challenge him, but had never come into contact with the Demon King himself.

If he asked Artemis who the Demon King was, then Artemis should be able to say something that others didn't know, right?

Under such circumstances, it didn't seem right for him to ask her questions after making her lose face in front of her.

But there was nothing he could do. Who asked this goddess to confront Lilith and make such a declaration?

She dared to say that she wanted to kill Lilith in front of him. Shien was already very restrained by not directly making a move.

Now, Lilith had occupied an important proportion in Shien's heart. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was his family, his sister, and even his daughter.

Ever since the Kosmos incident, the two of them had basically been inseparable. After going through that incident, their positions in each other's hearts could not be compared to anyone else's.

Lilith herself also regarded Shien as her reverse scale. Even if someone showed slight hostility to Shien, this little goddess would react violently and even take action to crush the other party into pieces.

Shien would not lose to Lilith. Even if he was not as unscrupulous as Lilith, if someone wanted to touch Lilith, Shien would naturally not forgive them.

In the past, Mara touched Lilith and provoked Shien once.

Artemis, the transcendent realm, the top three Protoss, and the goddess of justice who could rival the demons, if she also wanted to touch Lilith, then Shien would definitely not be polite.

Even if his relationship with the Protoss was not bad, it would still be the same.

Therefore, Sean would not regret what he had just done, and he even dispelled the idea of dealing with Artemis.

It could only be said that the first impression was really not very good.

However, just when Shien made such a decision, Nadiah finally came over.

"Don't blame her." Nadiah hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Her sense of justice is innate. Something like a curse is the price she paid to achieve transcendence. Even the three of us are often targeted by her because of various things. The nature of Lilith is there, and she once brought such a disaster. If an evil goddess with such amazing power is also an existence like her own sister, it is inevitable that the child will overreact."

As soon as Nadiah's words fell, Sophie also came over with a group of elven girls.

"Goddess Artemis' sense of justice is both a good and a bad thing. For people, of course, it is what they want. But sometimes, that uprightness will cause trouble, and it is indeed inevitable." Sophie persuaded along with Nadiah. "In the past, Goddess Artemis has even killed well-wishers who have gone to the evil path, and she has even personally punished many goddesses of the same race. This time, she did not attack Goddess Lilith. I'm afraid she has really restrained herself, right?"

Sophie, like Nadiah, spoke up for Artemis.

What's more, Nadiah even said so.

"I think that child feels quite complicated about Lilith's current situation, right?"

Nadiah looked at Shien with a deep meaning.

"It was clearly her who had been accompanying the Hero in the past, and because of this, she was even known as another sword that was as famous as the Hero's holy sword – the 'Sword of the Goddess'."

As a result, this time, not only was the goddess accompanying the Hero no longer Artemis, but she had also become the evil goddess that Artemis was destined to oppose and be hostile to. This situation, for Artemis, would really feel complicated, and it was really inevitable.

Nadiah wanted to say so.

Unfortunately, Shien did not experience it.

"Are you afraid that I will attack that goddess?" Shien shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I didn't attack just now, so I naturally won't attack later."

Provided that the goddess didn't cause trouble.

Otherwise, Shien didn't care whether the other party was a righteous guardian or not. Now that they were at war, it was not appropriate for internal strife.

As long as the other party dared to attack, Shien would definitely fight back.

That was what Shien wanted to express.

Nadiah seemed to be aware of it and felt a little headache.

She did not expect that the first meeting between Shien and Artemis would end in such an atmosphere.

It must be known that the relationship between the Hero and Artemis in the past was very good, even better than that of the goddess who blessed them.

Artemis had always admired the Hero who was an impeccable hero in all aspects, and the Hero had always recognized and admired Artemis, who was loyal and abided by her own sense of justice. The two of them were like teachers and friends, as if they regretted not meeting earlier.

Some of those relationships even became popular stories, which were compiled into fairy tales by bards and passed down, and they could often be seen in books today.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between this Hero and Artemis was so tense from the beginning. Who could have expected it?

(This Hero, as expected, is very special in all aspects, different from the Hero of the past.)

Nadiah felt something in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Forget it, in any case, it's normal for this Hero to do anything to him.

In the past, the Heroes were the comrades of the Protoss, the companions of the Protoss, and they would only be close to the Protoss. However, this guy was not close to the Protoss, but to the Demons, and even became engaged to the demon, the pinnacle of the Demons.

In the past, the Heroes were accompanied by orthodox goddesses, but this guy was accompanied by an evil god.

All kinds of signs were on the surface, this Hero was different.

Therefore, it was better not to look at him with the common sense of the ordinary Hero.

Nadiah exchanged a look with Sophie, and they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Obviously, Sophie and Nadiah were thinking the same thing.

At that moment, the two chose to change the topic.

"Caroline said that the stone slab is with you, right?"

Sophie looked at La Xia.

La Xia immediately carried the package, walked up to Sophie, and handed it to her.

She looked like she was not the slightest bit reluctant to leave.

However, Sophie and Nadiah still glanced at La Xia vaguely, and then turned their gazes to the package.

"Are these the stone slabs you mentioned?"

Sophie asked Nadiah solemnly.

"It should be." Nadiah nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "In the past, your predecessor took one out from the ruins. I felt the magic there, and it's the same magic I feel now."

"Then what should we do now?" Sophie asked for Nadiah's instructions.

"Let's bring it in first." Nadiah did not hesitate, or perhaps she had already thought about it. "The things inside are not for people to see, and it's not suitable to open them here. Let's bring it in first."

As soon as Naduna finished speaking, Caroline and Genom took a step forward in acknowledgment.

"If that's the case, I'll take my subordinates and leave."

Caroline requested.

"We can't see what's inside at all."

Jenom, on the other hand, seemed a little unwilling.

"I … I also want to hurry back …"

"I really don't want to wear these clothes anymore."

"Let's go back and change."

"Yes."

The other elven girls also suggested this, and from time to time, they would look at Shien, their pretty faces blushing slightly.

"Ah, then I'll go with you, Genom."

Merica hurriedly agreed.

This girl was not very interested in the slate. Instead, she was very concerned about the situation in the elven homeland, as well as Genom's feelings.

She must be very eager to visit the village, go home, and have a good chat with Genom, right?

"I'm actually a little interested in those slate."

The one who said this was none other than Youlin.

The dragon girl had just returned to her human form from her dragon form, and landed beside Shien. Her gaze turned to the package in Sophie's hands.

"What about you?"

Sophie took the package and looked at Shien.

"Me?" Shien glanced in La Xia's direction, and then said, "Of course I want to see it."

Moreover, he wanted to take La Xia with him.

Sophie seemed to understand Shien's meaning, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

"I know what you want to say," Shien interrupted her. "If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

Shien made this promise.

"… Fine."

Sophie thought for a moment, and finally compromised.

Although she still did not want La Xia to come into contact with anything related to the Demon King, since Shien had said so, she would not show her thoughts even if she had any.

At the end of the day, her relationship with Shien was definitely not as good as the relationship between Shien and La Xia.

In this way, if she preached some principles in front of Shien, he might not be able to listen, and it might even make him feel disgusted.

Rather than that, it was better to go with Shien's intentions.

(What a difficult hero. No wonder he is closer to the Demons. It must be because his temperament is closer to the Demons who are both good and evil, and act freely and boldly, right?)

Sophie smiled bitterly in her heart.

"How about this."

Finally, Nadia made a decision.

"Considering that people without a certain level of power may encounter unknown effects if they look at the slate, except for Sophie and Miss La Xia, everyone else should disperse on the spot."

"Reiya, Niya, your levels are also a bit lower than Sophie's, it's best not to look at the slate."

"The people looking at the slate will be me, Shien, Sophie, Lilith, Miss You Lin, and Miss La Xia."

"I will also call Artemis and ask her to come over and take care of it."

"There will only be the seven of us looking at the slate."

"Merica, do you really not want to come?"

Nadia looked at Merica, and Merica shook her head.

"I … I want to go to the village to take a look …"

Merica expressed her wish shyly.

"Alright." Nadia nodded and said, "Then let's do it."

Everyone immediately nodded and obeyed Nadia's instructions.

Merica, Carol, Genom, and the others left one after another.

Only Shien's group of six was left. They entered the Queen's Palace together and disappeared under the night sky.
