It's not that he is in love, nor is it that he cares that much about Valentina.
His current emotion is shock!
Oh shit.
She was sleeping before I went to bed, and when I woke up, why was she still sleeping
Are you the god of sleep?!
Although Herbert knew that Valentina had been sleeping all year round before he came to the monastery, she could sleep for a year or two at a time.
But ever since he got to know Valentina, she had never slept with him for more than a day at a time.
Especially after I started feeding her, she would wake up automatically at mealtime, just like a game character that automatically refreshes its daily status.
But what happened this time
Not waking up for three days
You are really full!
Aren’t you hungry now
no.
I haven't come to feed you for three days. Don't you worry about my safety
I feel cold and shivering.
When will the dragon breeder stand up! !
Herbert snorted unhappily and prepared to go directly to Valentina to settle the score and have a good discussion with her.
I forgot to feed you, it's my problem.
But you don’t come to me, that’s a problem of attitude!
Herbert coughed lightly and shook his head, throwing the inexplicable thought out of his mind.
“Ahem!”
I've been practicing reverse magic too much recently and I almost went crazy.
But jokes aside, Valentina really didn't care about him at all, which still made him a little sad.
—Really, only a little bit.
[“I suggest you don’t bother her now.”]
"Huh? Why? She—wait, she's in a special state now?"
Herbert was now a typical person whose brain was faster than his mouth. He had just said half of his words when several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
"She finally obtained the dragon's inheritance?"
[“That’s right~”]
Nenasha laughed twice and said meaningfully:
[“Congratulations! After your careful planting and cultivation, she has finally achieved what other young dragons can do naturally.”
Although he was congratulating, Herbert felt as if he smelled a strange sour smell.
Maybe...it's an illusion
"How long will she continue to sleep?"
[“That depends on her own talent and how much inheritance she can accept.”]
Nenasha gave a perfunctory explanation, then changed the subject and said:
[“However, rather than worrying about her condition, I suggest you check your own condition first.”]
"Um?""
Chapter 196 The Sky Is the Limit (3/5)
"Me? What's wrong with me—"
Herbert lowered his head and felt his body carefully, but found no changes.
Everything is normal.
I am still the same boy as before, without any change.
But he was sure that Nenasha would not say that without any purpose, so he thought about it carefully again.
But in the end, he still got nothing. In desperation, he could only raise the flag of surrender and asked:
"Give me some hints."
Request off-site assistance.
[“Hehe~”]
Nenasha watched Herbert fumbling around for a long time, and her mood became sunny again. She said with a smile:
[“Hey~ Did you say I want to help you? Do I really want to help you? It’s fine for me to help you, but why do I feel like your attitude isn’t sincere enough?”]
Herbert rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "You must play it this way, right? I warn you, don't force me."
God of Harmony, you want to start a war, right
If I really do this, you may not be able to withstand it!
[“Haha~”]
After successfully gaining the upper hand, Nenasha laughed triumphantly, and returned to normal while she was ahead, and prompted, "Don't you feel like there's something extra about you?"
"No, I've checked it carefully, and there's no change."
Nowhere is suddenly longer, and no where is suddenly shorter.
[“Really? Have you really confirmed everything?”]
Nenasha's voice was filled with a smile that she couldn't hold back, and she asked with a chuckle: ["Why don't you look back?"]
Look back
Herbert asked, and at this moment, he suddenly felt something.
Behind my back... it's so light!
He slowly turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes slowly widening.
At this moment, a pair of huge wings appeared behind him!
The base of the wing is connected to the shoulder blade, and like a bird's wing, it flutters gently with his movements.
There was nothing strange about the existence of the wings, and he didn't even notice it at all, as if he had been born with this pair of wings.
"this..-·
This pair of wings looked similar to the angel wings seen on Lucier, but the color was not the jet black of a fallen angel, nor the pure snow-white as described in the legend.
Scarlet as blood!
It is the same color as Valentina's scales, and is also covered with some light golden lines.
Herbert looked at the wings behind him with a stunned look in his eyes.
When did I grow wings
Could it be that I am also a monster girl
Nenasha felt the shock in Herbert's heart and laughed: ["Haha, how does it feel? Do you know what this is?"]
Herbert looked at Yuyi and shook his head slowly, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"Could this be—"
"External soul bone!"
["What?"]
Nenasha: What are you talking about
But before explaining to Nenasha, Herbert shook his head again, denying his previous brainless guess.
"No, that's not right!"
"It should be Dou Qi turning into wings!"
[“What is that?!”]
Although it was a joke, Herbert still took it seriously.
Although this pair of wings looks real, they are not made of flesh and blood in essence, but are composed entirely of holy power.
"Holy power? Does it come from the stigmata?"
[“Yes, your stigma has improved again, and you have finally succeeded in reaching the stage of transformation.”]
When reaching the legendary stage, the stigmata of the Paladins will undergo a complete transformation.
Each Paladin's stigmata are different.
Some people's stigmata can be transformed into weapons, some into protective gear, and some into props with special powers.
According to records, there was once a legendary paladin whose stigmata could be transformed into a bridle with the power to summon a celestial unicorn.
The transformation of the stigma is a transformation for the legendary paladin, which will greatly enhance their abilities.
According to records, some of the best Paladins can achieve this at a high level.
Their wills are strong enough, they are devout enough in fulfilling their oaths, and they have a deep enough understanding of the holy power.
When all the foundation has been accumulated, their stigmata can also transform into their own form before entering the legendary stage.
And now, Herbert has also come this far.
Although he himself did not have such a high understanding of the Holy Power, nor was he a devout practitioner of the oath - his Holy Power was special enough.
After receiving the infusion from Saint Nenasha, the quality of his holy power improved tremendously.
It's simply not comparable to anything else.
Herbert's stigmata had actually almost reached this final step before, but he still lacked some understanding of the holy power.
The Feather of the Fallen Angel completes this part.
Although Lucille fell and became a fallen angel, before her fall she was a war angel of high rank and a master in using holy power.
After absorbing her feathers, Herbert's last shortcoming was finally made up.
The holy scar transformed into scarlet wings behind him.
As soon as Herbert thought about it, the wings spread out just as he had imagined.
He raised his hand and touched the wings, feeling like he was touching his own skin.
Not only is it the simplest movement of spreading the wings, any movement can be accomplished easily with the wings.
It was as easy as using one's arm, without any awkwardness.
Just in terms of operability, it is far superior to Freme's alchemical legs!
After trying the most basic operations, Herbert lightly tapped his feet and jumped into the air.
Crash-
With the wings flapping gently, he rushed out, flew high quickly, and stopped suddenly before hitting the ceiling.
Herbert stared at the ceiling, which was only an inch away from his nose, with wide eyes. After being stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha!"
He didn't even know why he was laughing.
When he broke free from the control of gravity by himself, only joy surged in his heart.
He had flown high into the sky on Valentina's back before, but although that feeling was great, it was not as exciting as it was now.
What I feel at this moment is an unprecedented sense of freedom!
I am free!
