Do I need to know you
I really didn’t lie to you!
"snort."
The goddess looked down at the boy with extremely cold eyes, while the boy spread his hands innocently.
"well."
He said helplessly: Even if you look at me like that, I won’t feel excited, I’m not that type.
During this process, he had been quietly trying to wake up Valentina in his arms - but unfortunately, Miss Hungry Dragon was sleeping soundly at this time.
No matter what Herbert did, her consciousness seemed unable to wake up, and she was completely immersed in a beautiful dream from which she could not wake up.
Herbert certainly didn't think that Valentina would fail at this critical moment. Although she was stupid, she was always very reliable.
Then, there is only one explanation for this scene: the person in front of him has controlled Valentina.
So that she couldn't wake up.
This discovery made Herbert's heart sink a little. The opponent's strength might be far stronger than he thought.
Epic? Saint? Or - Finally, an idea flashed through his mind, causing Herbert's heart to jump. He looked at the barefoot girl floating in the air in front of him and asked uncertainly, "Could it be - the goddess of ice and snow?"
"Humph! You finally stopped playing dumb."
The Ice and Snow Goddess snorted, thinking that Herbert had been pretending to be stupid and pretending not to recognize him.
Finally, he was exposed under his own majesty and admitted it honestly.
That's right!
How could anyone not recognize me
Herbert observed the woman's micro-expressions, saw some clues, and silently swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"I thought you were a fairy in the lake!" It's better not to say such things, as they can easily irritate people.
From the contact just now, Herbert has roughly analyzed some of the outstanding characteristics of the ice and snow goddess: pride -"
·—-But maybe not very smart.
So, Herbert first bowed respectfully, and then asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I wonder why the goddess is blocking my way here?"
Almost all mortals in this world will bow their heads before the incarnation of gods and prostrate themselves humbly at their feet.
But not Herbert.
Besides, as a paladin of the Misty Monastery, he did not need to bow down to this not-so-powerful god.
It is enough to show a certain respect.
Although the Archbishop is so powerful that he makes people feel powerless when he is an imaginary enemy, he is extremely reliable when he is an ally.
Herbert looked at the ice goddess quietly, waiting for her reply.
Miss Divine, please be careful with your words!
We will not take the initiative to attack, but we will definitely not passively accept being attacked either.
We will reserve the right to use the invincible Lao Deng when necessary!
"—.Heh, are you so sure that he can protect you?"
The Ice and Snow Goddess also understood the meaning of Herbert's eyes and smiled contemptuously: "Mortal, dare to use him to threaten me? You are very courageous."
"I'm not sure."
Herbert raised his eyebrows, shrugged, and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to try it?"
"Kill me right here and now, and then you will know whether the Archbishop will notice anything."
"See if he will avenge me on the murderer..."
Herbert smiled brightly, there was no fear on his face at all, and there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Come on.
Kill me!
Right now!
Herbert winked at the ice goddess, his smile full of sarcasm.
I dare to die.
But do you dare to do it
The ice and snow goddess was silent.
This place is not far from the Misty Monastery.
She is just an incarnation of ice and snow here, but the other party is the real one.
Losing an incarnation is not a big deal, but if I really become enemies with the other party, then---"-Should I seek the protection of the God of Winter for such a thing
What's more, he himself didn't want to do anything to Herbert.
If you really want to harm him, there is no need to show up. Just let him get lost in the wind and snow and eventually die in the Misty Mountains.
He just stared at the young man quietly for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said calmly: "Mortal, you seem to have strong malice towards me."
You're trying to put the blame on someone else, right
Herbert didn't care about the other party's petty tricks. Such petty tricks didn't irritate him at all, and even made him want to laugh.
That's low class, my friend.
He smiled gracefully and shook his head, "Dear Ms. Snow, I think you must have some misunderstanding about me."
"I have always respected you."
Herbert looked at the ice and snow goddess, and the knowledge he had learned later flashed through his mind.
[Ice and Snow Goddess Hekaias]
This goddess is also known as the "Snow Lady" or the "Winter Maiden".
The former implies more respect, while the latter may be unpleasant for some reason.
Herbert chose this title to show his respect for the goddess of ice and snow - at least on the surface.
He looked at the goddess and saw the arc on her brows. He knew that she was in a good mood, so he chuckled and continued:
"If I really had ill will towards you, I would not have entrusted the Frost Crystal Kingdom's faith to your church, right?"
"On the contrary, I have the utmost respect for you."
With a sincere look on his face, he hugged Valentina and bowed again, saying:
"I admire all your efforts to protect nature, and I am grateful for every ice and snow creature you protect. "All life has its value, and all life should not be violated. Nature has its own laws, and you are one of the guardians of order."
"You are the protector of frost and snow!"
"You are the guardian of the ice field!"
Herbert went on like this for ten minutes without repeating a word.
And when Herbert finished his set of exaggerated flattery, the Ice and Snow Goddess's expression softened noticeably - well, a lot, in fact.
He thought he hid it well, but in fact, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
Hehe~
He wrinkled his nose and raised his chin slightly.
It turns out that this is how I look in the eyes of others!
Um.
I didn't even notice how good I was.
"cough!"
He looked away, looked to the side, and then coughed lightly:
"Well, you are very good. I haven't heard a human being say such words for a long time."
Although she wants to gain more faith from humans, the Ice and Snow Goddess actually doesn't have much affection for humans.
Hunters always like to hunt those snowfield animals in winter, which already have an extremely difficult life.
In fact, it has always been believed that humans are disrupting the cycle of the law of winter.
It was really surprising that Herbert, as a human being, could say such heartfelt words.
Perhaps, well, it's time to change the way we think about humans.
"I say this because I am human. Humans are also part of nature."
"I think so only because you did everything right!"
Herbert straightened his back and said affectionately: "Not only humans, but all living things need to express their gratitude to you!"
The last sentence was spoken so loudly that his voice echoed across the entire lake.
The Ice and Snow Goddess finally couldn't stand it anymore, and waved her hands at him, saying awkwardly: "Ahem! Okay, okay,
You—don’t have to say any more.”
Okay, shut up.
Li himself couldn't bear to listen any more.
The ice and snow goddess was so embarrassed that she almost dug a hole in the ice beneath her feet.
But Herbert didn't intend to let it go.
He clenched his fists and shouted even louder: "No! As long as you still have misunderstandings about me, I will keep saying it! You are the most beautiful creation of nature, the embodiment of ice and snow, and -"
"Alright! Stop talking! I know you have no ill intentions!!!"
Quick, shut up!
"Oh well."
When he was sure that the ice girl's defense had been broken and that continuing would be too much, Herbert stopped decisively, nodded and smiled.
Oh.
I've only used 10% of my strength, and you're already unable to withstand it
You are very weak!
"Well, Ms. Snow, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, could you please tell me why you stopped me here?"
After Herbert's flattery, the ice and snow goddess could no longer keep a straight face.
He glared at Herbert first, then said helplessly: "I am here to give you a reward."
In this situation, he could no longer say that he was spying because of Herbert's disrespectful behavior in the temple.
I can only use this seemingly legitimate reason to explain my behavior at this moment.
"You mean—reward?"
"Yes, although the results have not yet been fully seen, the future of the Frost Crystal Kingdom is already foreseeable."
The scene of Frost Crystal City flashed before the eyes of the Ice and Snow Goddess. She saw Leila excitedly putting on the heavy armor and knew that the final outcome was already determined.
Whether those nobles survived or not would have no effect on the outcome.
From today on, with the help of this opportunity, my faith will be completely rooted in the Frost Crystal Kingdom.
It took a full hundred years longer than originally planned!
It won’t be long, perhaps within ten years, when the faith of the first group of believers is completely firm, and a rich sum of faith will be deposited into their accounts.
At that time, the Ice and Snow Goddess might be able to take this opportunity to gain promotion, or even successfully escape the protection of the God of Winter.
Although the Goddess of Winter has always been nice to me, her exaggerated maternal love really makes me feel tired.
He has always suffered from this, but due to his lack of strength he has no room to resist.
But now, the Ice and Snow Goddess can see hope.
And the source of all this hope is this young man.
