Chapter 1323 Lorraine 11
As for divine artifacts and territories, none of these exist.
"Is this still favoritism? This is practically spoiling her!"
Are all gods this generous?
"This favoritism is too blatant!"
"So enviable!"
"Is it too late to worship the God of the Abyss now?"
"Look at other people's gods, and then look at our own!"
"The gods themselves have stepped in to support us!"
"He personally bestowed upon him the crown and scepter!"
"Personally issue the divine decree!"
"Personally proclaim it to the world!"
"He also declared that he would protect Lorraine for life!"
"Why are other people's gods so biased?"
For a time, all the bishops of the Church of Light felt bitter, for comparison brought hurt.
The more successful Tan You became, the more Tartarus valued her, and the more jealous Paget Dubot became. How could he dare to force Tan You to stay any longer? If he were to intervene now, her gods would be watching from above.
Tartarus glanced at Paget with a nonchalant air: "Let's get to the Land of Exile soon. These little things are giving me a headache. I'm really worried that one day I'll end up locking them in my cage."
Bound to the ground, Chris flinched, a hint of fear showing in his volleyball-sized eyes, clearly terrified of this so-called cage.
Tan You saw the fear in Chris's eyes, and she understood that Chris was not convinced at this moment, even though she had subdued him. Since that was the case, she was determined to completely terrify Chris.
Nobody wants a troublemaker in their territory who's always going against them, right?
Thinking of the cage Tartarus mentioned, Tan You closed her eyes slightly, and as her ten fingers flew, streams of source energy flowed, and a huge cage appeared at her fingertips.
Tartarus raised an eyebrow, a hint of amazement in his eyes, then laughed. The more outstanding his chosen ones were, the happier he naturally was.
Just as the cage of life was fully formed, Tan You smiled. She suddenly opened her eyes, and Chris, who was lying on the ground, disappeared instantly. In front of her, a red dragon appeared in the cage of life.
"It's so big, it's not easy to take it with me," Tan You muttered. She stared at the Life Cage for a couple more times, then started making hand seals again.
All they saw was the cage of life gradually shrinking until it became the size of a birdcage. Correspondingly, Chris also shrunk to the size of an ordinary small bird, and now looked more like a lizard.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. She could subdue such a massive dragon; how could anyone else possibly defeat her? Wasn't she just awakened? How could she be so powerful?
Tartarus laughed: "You are very clever. I am more at ease entrusting the land of exile to you."
“Lorraine Houston, rebuild the Houston family in the land of exile. I look forward to the Houston family’s return to glory.”
Tan You nodded slightly: "Of course, Houston's glory will shine again, because I am still here." Tartarus was also infected by Tan You's confidence. After giving a few more instructions, he and the God of Light disappeared completely.
With the two deities gone, the long-quiet crowd erupted into noise once more, their discussions even growing louder. But no matter what they said, the main subject of their conversation was always Tan You.
Ignoring everyone's comments, Tan You playfully poked at the "birdcage" floating in front of her. With a slight tug, Chris swayed and staggered inside the cage, no longer the unruly person he had been when he arrived.
Louis watched with envy. He jumped up and down under the throne a couple of times and raised his little hand high: "Big sister, big sister, I can help you carry the cage!"
Upon hearing this, Tan You casually tossed the birdcage aside, and Louis caught it with lightning speed, holding it tightly to his chest. If no one knew that the birdcage contained the dragon Chris, they would have thought it was just an ordinary child parading around with a small bird.
After entering the Cage of Life, all the ropes binding Chris disappeared, and it could speak again. But no matter how much it struggled inside the Cage of Life, it could not break free of its restraints.
Tan You joked, "This prison of life has the property of suppressing magic."
Chris's wings trembled slightly, and it obediently lay down in the birdcage. The only thing it regretted was its impulsive decision to challenge the new master. Now, it had been thoroughly humiliated by the new master, losing all face and dignity.
The mere mention of the term "magic ban" caused another uproar. At the same time, everyone paled at the thought; if they were imprisoned in this cage of life, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others?
Chris, ever the flexible fellow, immediately knelt down: "My lord, I was ignorant and arrogant. Please forgive me this time. I wish to become your most loyal mount, and in the future, I will follow you to conquer all directions and rule the land of exile."
Tan You chuckled: "Just express sincerity verbally? I'm the kind of person who wants tangible benefits."
"I want you to sign an equal contract with me. If I advance to the level of a God of Law in the future, you will regain your freedom."
Louis blinked, rummaged through his family ring, and finally pulled out a scroll of equality contract: "Elder sister, I have a contract scroll."
Tan You raised an eyebrow: "You have all of these?"
In her memory, when the original owner of the body took Louis to seek refuge with the Dubot family, they were penniless. After all, the beast tide was fierce, and after the city was destroyed and the family was wiped out, they had nothing left.
“Hehe, it was given to me by the gods,” Louise said with a big smile, “the gods put it in my ring when they left.”
“Look, the gods have given me the contract scroll, which proves that what I’m doing is in accordance with their wishes.” Tan You stepped down from the throne and squatted down in front of the Cage of Life.
Chris turned his head away. How could he be willing to sign any contract with Tan You? Not even an equal contract.
The dragon race has never made a contract with a human. If it sets this precedent, wouldn't everyone want to make a contract with a dragon in the future? What would become of the dragon race's reputation then?
Seeing that Chris didn't respond, Tan You wasn't annoyed. She moved her little finger and said, "I won't force you if you don't want to. You can just stay in this birdcage forever."
"When we reach the Land of Exile, I will build a huge city. I will hang you at the city gate, so that everyone who goes to the Land of Exile can admire the heroic figure of the Red Dragon Chris."
"That's ruthless!" The God of Light and Tartarus, who hadn't left either, couldn't help but sigh upon hearing Tan You's words.
Tartarus grew to like Tan You more and more as he looked at her, and retorted, "That's called having a method. Chris offended us first. We should use him to establish our authority. Look at the state of my exile land that they've ruined."
Chris froze. Faced with the choice between losing face in front of the tribe and losing face in front of everyone, it seemed he already knew the answer.
It had no doubt that Tan You would keep her word; she was clearly not someone easy to talk to.
