"That human boy, he is the most arrogant human I have ever seen!"

In the underground secret room of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, the proud Snow Elf Bishop snorted angrily, bit his teeth lightly, and complained bitterly.

"Please believe me, I am not slandering him."

"Many fellows in the church were deceived by his appearance and thought he was really a pious and noble Paladin."

Many of those naive believers were deceived by Herbert and only thought he was a noble knight who knew etiquette.

That was not the truth!

"But I am different, I can feel his true thoughts!"

Perhaps because of her best friend, or perhaps because the girl in front of her made Leila feel relaxed, she said all the words in her heart that she had kept in her heart for a long time.

"He does have a handsome face that is no less handsome than an elf, and he also exudes a holy light... But those are just illusions, masks that cover up the truth!"

"Arrogance."

"Under that hypocritical face, there is absolute arrogance."

Since that day, Leila has been able to recall the details of the conversation with Herbert from time to time, and constantly review the original response.

"He seems to be seeking cooperation from us, but in fact he has been preparing to shock me through that saint from the beginning and embarrass me!"

"If he had revealed his identity at the beginning and told me what the saint meant, how could I refuse?"

"He would do that, there is only one explanation! He did it on purpose!"

Yes.

Those were all calculated.

He has been trying to set a trap for me.

Every step is to lure me into his trap.

Terrible human!

A man with deep scheming.

He made me lose face in front of the goddess and almost lost her favor!

After hearing this, the God-favored Yuniel blinked and asked curiously: "So you mean, you hate him? Do you think he is an untrustworthy human? Is he a low-quality being?"

Hmm?

Immersed in annoyance, Leila suddenly came back to her senses, blinked quickly, and said hesitantly: "Uh! No, I don't think so."

"Oh?"

Yuniel blinked, and suddenly became interested, and asked: "Didn't you just say you hate him?"

"..."

Lila's lips moved, hesitated for a few breaths, and slowly said:

"I really don't like his attitude towards me, and his character is indeed arrogant, but it's not to the point of being low-quality, that... really not."

"From the perspective of character, he is proud, and I even suspect that he despises us..."

She thought about the other party and looked at Seeing her teasing look, she couldn't help biting her lip and said unwillingly:

"Although this makes me feel very uncomfortable, to be honest, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant."

She paused for a moment, and explained softly to the confused two people:

"You don't know that during this period, the monks brought by Herbert have been helping the people of the Frost Crystal Kingdom."

"Herbert bought a lot of food and clothing and other supplies at his own expense, and let the monks distribute them to the weak in need for free, and help them treat diseases."

Even for this snow elf who has never lacked money, it can be understood that this is definitely a considerable expense.

"Moreover, Herbert did this not to gain the faith of those people, and he didn't even need their gratitude."

"Wait a minute, not asking for others' return? Why can you be so sure?"

Joanna took the initiative to ask, she felt that Leila seemed to be coaxed by Herbert, why did she keep explaining for him?

"Because..."

Lila smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Those who were helped didn't know Herbert's name at all, they just knew that the Mist Monastery was helping them."

The expenses of thousands of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation could easily drag down a small noble.

But after paying such a huge price, he didn't want anything.

Not many people even knew that he had done such a good deed.

"I... I don't understand why he did that."

Lila really couldn't understand Herbert's intention.

Just want to do some good deeds, without any other rewards?

Is it really just to let them survive?

Or is this a way for the Paladin to fulfill his oath?

But it should be clear that even the Paladins with high moral character rarely do such things.

Most of them have made a vow of poverty, and they will not keep overnight money except for the necessary needs, and distribute all to the poor.

This also makes it difficult for them to accumulate a lot of wealth and make such a move.

Unless some extremely powerful paladins exchanged the monsters for a large amount of wealth after hunting them down, and distributed them all to the people in need.

But such a situation is too rare.

There are too few noble paladins like Herbert who are financially strong and willing to share their wealth.

Yuniel listened for a long time and asked, "Do you mean that he is actually kind-hearted?"

"Kind? Uh! Maybe, not really..."

Leila shook her head violently, much more certain than before.

He is kind?

What a joke!

"Herbert is the planner of this kingdom turmoil. He manipulated everything and led us into the game."

"He is the biggest executioner."

"During this turmoil, at least thousands of people died because of him, including the royal heir and his blood relatives."

The nobles didn't know why this chaos started, and all the blood feuds were attributed to Herbert.

But he didn't care at all, and didn't think he would go to evil and degenerate because of this.

He even said a speechless but somewhat reasonable sarcasm:

"If what I did was wrong, then I would have fallen by now.

"But since I haven't fallen, it proves that they are the ones who have fallen."

If I am guilty, then the gods will naturally punish me.

Since the gods don't punish me, then I will punish them.

Joanna was also speechless after listening, and asked in a low voice: "...Will this style of behavior punish the Paladin? "

Lila shook her head, unable to give an accurate answer.

She was not familiar with Herbert, so she could not be sure.

"This man gives me a complicated feeling... He does not hide his arrogance when facing the strong, but he shows his compassion to the weak without hesitation."

"Is this hypocrisy? But it is not like that. I can't say which face is his true face."

"But I have to say that such a person can indeed attract the attention of others unconsciously."

After hesitating for a while, Leila unconsciously raised her hand and touched her ear, muttering to herself uncertainly:

"If I have to give a conclusion... Although he is arrogant and complicated, he is indeed the most charming human being I have ever seen."

Charming.

Compared to other characteristics, the last evaluation is actually such a comment.

Joanna raised her eyebrows slightly when listening to her friend's words. She suspected that Leila was bewitched by the other party and her heart was moved...

Yuniel's reaction was much calmer.

"Is that so? I think I understand. "

The innocent-looking girl said "oh" and smiled at the two of them.

"Okay, you two continue chatting, I'm going to find other sisters to play with."

She clapped her hands, waved at Leila, and turned to leave.

After watching Yuniel leave with her hands behind her back, Leila shook her head gently as if she had just woken up from a dream, and let out a long breath.

"Huh..."

Looking at her like this, Joanna was a little worried at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Leila, are you okay? You..."

"Wait a minute."

Leila raised her hand to signal someone not to speak first, and listened silently. After waiting for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and looked at Joanna, and asked with a very serious expression: "Joanna, before saying everything, answer me a question first. "

"And, you have to promise me in the name of your mother that you will not deceive me! I also promise you in the name of my disciple that I will not deceive you! ”

The atmosphere in the secret place suddenly became cold.

“…”

Joanna looked at Leila in silence and said slowly: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Leila nodded slowly and said firmly: “I’m sure.”

“Hehe.”

Joanna rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: “No, how many times are you going to tell this joke? Is it interesting?”

“Isn’t my mother your only disciple?”

The half-elf priest thought that the elf was probably confused and started to tell such tasteless jokes again.

Hehe, boring!

“Hahaha!”

Leila couldn’t hold back her expression, laughed triumphantly, and snorted: “Who made you look serious? I’m not as nervous as you.”

“Humph!”

After making her old friend laugh, Leila’s expression was restrained a little, and she lowered her voice and asked: “If I’m not mistaken, it should be…that adult, right?”

Joanna was silent for a while, tilted her head to look at the direction where the girl Yuniel disappeared, and nodded slowly.

“…Yeah. "

The two of them were silent at the same time.

Although there was no evidence.

But for the true identity of the God-favored Yuniel, both of them had a common candidate in their minds.

Qualified to become the God-favored of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church.

Able to sneak into the church silently.

That great existence.

Yes.

He is...

The loving mother who dotes on her own goddess and wishes to protect her forever - the Winter Goddess.

The two of them did not speak directly, but communicated in the most covert way.

'That adult has incarnated again?'

'Well, it is most likely him.'

Although there has never been an official record, "Winter Goddess The fact that the Winter Goddess often incarnates as the favored one of the Ice and Snow Goddess has been passed down among the high-level officials of the Goddess Church for many years.

The bishops who are qualified to know this secret have all remained silent.

That can't be said to be turning a blind eye, that is to close the eyes tightly.

We know nothing!

We didn't see anything!

You can play whatever you want!

Yes, for so many years.

The incarnation of the Winter Goddess has become the favored one of the Gods at least ten times, and no one has ever told the Ice and Snow Goddess the truth.

And the Ice and Snow Goddess has never disappointed them, and has never discovered the truth of the matter...

He still feels elated that he has discovered those geniuses with outstanding talents and has easily succeeded in acquiring them.

"……well."

Laila and Joanna looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, and silently clinked glasses and drank.

According to the teachings, these people have committed the crime of deceiving the gods, and no one can escape punishment.

But... sometimes, the problem doesn't look that way.

They can't afford to offend the Winter Goddess.

Besides, my own goddess is the most beloved pet of the Winter Goddess... The servants of these pets, that is, the servants of servants, how can they resist.

‘That lord really likes to dote on the goddess! ’

'Who says it's not the case...'

The relationship between gods is generally not that close. Many gods gather together just for profit, and their feelings for each other are very weak.

But the Winter Goddess's feelings for the Ice and Snow Goddess can no longer be regarded as favorable, it is completely excessive doting.

Laila sighed for a while and then stopped worrying about it.

No matter what the Winter Goddess wants to do, they are not qualified to interfere, just let her be.

Compared with the goddess, she was more worried about Joanna, who was watching her grow up, and asked worriedly: 'What mission are you going to perform? That adult actually wants to go there incarnate...is it dangerous? ’

Joanna nodded, then slowly shook her head and sighed:

"I don't know the specific mission content. I just know that we are asked to go to the outskirts of the Misty Mountains. Someone will pick us up when we arrive."

"The Misty Mountains..."

Laila shook her head with emotion, a little fear flashed in her eyes, and whispered:

"Joanna, you must pay attention to safety. If there is any danger, you must protect Yuniel's safety!"

"Well, I understand what you mean."

Joanna shook her head slightly: "But I am the leader, and the safety of the other sisters is also my mission. I will not give up on them."

Protect Yuniel? That was obviously asking her to seek shelter from the Winter Goddess.

"Tsk, your stubborn personality is exactly the same as your mother's."

Laila held her forehead helplessly and hesitated before saying:

"Joanna, if you really encounter a danger that you can't handle... you can ask Misty Monastery for help. They won't leave you alone."

Seeing her caring but confused look, Joanna said amusedly: "But I'm not familiar with them. I'm afraid the church's name is not enough."

"...Then you go to Herbert and ask him to come forward."

The corner of Laila's mouth twitched, and she said without confidence: "If he asks, just say that I asked you to go. If there is anything else, just ask him to come to me directly."

Joanna blinked and stared at Laila with a strange expression for a long time.

stare--

The explicit look in her eyes made Laila feel a little uncomfortable, and she said with evasive eyes: "...What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"

"No, it's nothing."

Joanna finally looked away, shook her head with emotion, and sighed:

"I'm just a little curious about how charming this man is to make you attracted."

Laila:? ? ?

"What are you talking about!?"

Joanna ignored Laila's defensive growl and continued to sigh:

"I really want to meet such a man! I wonder if I will have a chance to meet him this time."

Eldar collar.

Herbert looked at the empty territory, curled his lips, and said to himself: "There is nothing in such a big place, it looks a bit empty."

"How about asking someone else to borrow some?"
