Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 338 The Cunning Deoras

The moment Deoras said this, all the high rankers almost sighed.

They all knew beforehand what Deoras was going to say.

Well, Shin was leaving behind everyone because of the large number. This meant that they had to listen to the orders of other higher rankers who were by no means stronger than Shin.

Deoras, even if tried, couldn't possibly defeat Shin. He knew this very well and thus because of that, he instantly realized that by staying back, his chances of dying would only increase!

The Supreme celestials cannot take any direct actions, but this didn't mean that they couldn't summon storms or earthquakes to harm Shin and his men.

Therefore, Deoras, after thinking for a while, thought of this plan. He would accompany Shin with the proposal of protecting him, but in return, it would be him who would get the protection from Shin in case anything were to happen.

As Shin had the inventory, Deoras almost absolutely sure that he had nothing to worry about.

'Guard?', Shin was surprised by what Deoras said.

For a second, Shin thought that Deoras was being considerate. Every lower ranking being there thought the same.

They thought that Deoras' loyalty couldn't be measured. He would accompany Shin in all the dangers despite his life being in danger - just thinking about this made chills run down their spines.

But guess what, this was precisely why they were called lower ranking beasts and beings with less intelligence.

Shin, who thought the same for a mere second, realized that Deoras' purpose was entirely different.

He asked, "Deoras, do you think you can guard me against the Supreme celestials?"

Deoras remained mum the moment Shin asked this.

Other higher rankers, who thought that Deoras somehow stole their idea, snickered.

Deoras calmly replied, "Your Highness, I may not be able to protect you against the almighty Supreme Celestials, but I think I can at least be the first beast to die for you in case they attack you directly."

These words moved many hearts, but of course, none of these belonged to that of the High rankers or intelligent ones.

"Sigh...", Shin sighed visibly.

He then said, "Stop the act."

"Yes, your highness.", Deoras merely bowed his head as Shin seemed a bit annoyed.

Some lower-ranking beings had started to talk amongst themselves when they heard Deoras' statement, but after seeing Shin annoyed, they shut their mouths too.

It was completely quiet for a minute or two. Shin was thinking about something important during these two minutes. The same was true for the High ranking beasts who kept asking the same questions to themselves - why is his highness leaving us behind when he can accommodate us and take us with the spatial magic?

No one exactly asked that but they surely had the question in their minds.

Well, Shin read their thoughts with ease.

He knew that the higher-ranking ones seemed somewhat displeased and then moved ahead to explain why he was leaving them behind.

"The dwarves have built us such a wonderful place..."

"This was supposed to be our home. In fact, I think it is our home..."

"However, right now, I don't think it is safe."

"I would be going to ask the Heavenly Wolf Family for help and if they decide to, then we can probably go there and stay safe."

"Also, if I could grow as strong as the Supreme celestials while staying there, then we can return to this wonderful town of ours..."

"But, if we all leave, then this town might be in danger."

"All the things that have been built will go to waste. It could be invaded by the beasts of the forest or might be attacked by other outsiders."

"That's why, to defend it, I am leaving behind the higher ranked ones."

This explained why Shin made such a decision. While not all of them were satisfied with this explanation, they finally at least understood what Shin wanted to do.

He then said, "Since Deoras came forward and told me his opinion, I will let only him accompany me."

The moment he said this, all of their expressions changed. Especially, Deoras. He was on cloud nine.

Shin further added, "Don't get me wrong. If anyone else had asked me about it, especially someone that wasn't Deoras, I wouldn't have taken them."

"But since it is specifically Deoras, I am letting him accompany me."

Now, this statement only added to Deoras' respect. Other higher beings were confused and surprised as to shay Deoras had that they lacked.

And on thinking, they realized that it was quite simple.

Deoras was a Shadow Wolf. This meant that he could hide in Shin's shadows without any trouble. This would only ease Shin's task as he wouldn't require to spend any excess mana - this was what everyone thought and this was what Shin wanted them to think!

He wanted to make sure that everyone wouldn't take his inventory so lightly.

He wanted to let it be known that his inventory too cost something and wasn't just free while in reality, for now, it was just a free feature of the system that let him store things.

Regardless, he made it clear that Deoras was going to come with this and what he was planning to do next.

No one had any objection. Everyone felt that Shin's reasons were justified. Yes, everyone except Aella!

One look at her and you could tell that she was upset.

Shin, without turning everyone's attention towards her, dispersed the crowd. Of course, he did ask at the end if anyone had any questions, but no one asked anything.

They all went back on a tour around the town to see various buildings and structures.

As for Deoras, he approached Shin and bowed a bit.

'Forgive me for my impudence, your highness."

"I-"

"It's fine Deoras."

"Who doesn't what to live? Your actions weren't wrong."

When Shin said these things, Deoras wad finally confirmed that Shin was aware of Deoras' plan.
