Chapter 908: Chapter 450: The Kitten Doesn’t Understand but Is Utterly Shocked!
Purr purr purr...
Herbert watched the little kitten who rolled its eyes and started enjoying the immersive experience, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Hehe."
Look, what’s the difference between this scene and "the fairy would rather die than submit" or "the female knight coos murder"?
Herbert chuckled lightly, gently stroking the Goddess’s back - although this scene wasn’t as alluring as it sounded; he was just petting a cat.
After playing for a while, Herbert finally felt satisfied with the petting and temporarily paused his actions, starting to ask about serious matters.
"Speaking of which, madam, did you have something important to discuss with me just now?"
As a result, although he stopped, the one being touched wasn’t happy about it.
The kitten actively nuzzled against his palm, squinting its eyes and grumbling: "Pet me a bit longer, don’t stop, don’t... hmm?"
No!
What am I doing!!?
Hecayas shook her head absentmindedly, coughed twice, and pretended nothing happened, finally barely recovering her "dignity".
"Hmm... How did you know I had something important to discuss with you?"
The Ice and Snow Goddess activated [Strong Posturing].
As long as I pretend not to care, no one can use this against me!
This approach wasn’t wrong - it’s just that she forgot her previous actions were clearly exposed to everyone, with no dignity left.
But fortunately, Herbert was a kind-hearted paladin who didn’t like to embarrass others.
Instead of teasing, he moved his fingers again.
Pet pet pet!
Ice and Snow Goddess: !!?
"You! You, stop moving! I... meow~"
Herbert didn’t really intend to force her into a corner. After teasing a bit, he stopped with a smile and casually continued the previous topic:
"Of course I can guess! After all, if there weren’t special circumstances, I don’t think you’d be seeking me out again at this time."
Indeed.
The Ice and Snow Goddess agreed with this view.
If it weren’t very urgent, the Ice and Snow Goddess intended to contact Herbert long after, pretending nothing happened.
But now, she didn’t have that time.
She had already boasted, and the entire Natural Pantheon was expecting her to produce actual results!
How could I let others watch me make a fool of myself?
The kitten only wanted to watch others make fools of themselves, not become the fool themselves.
"Ahem, since you’re asking so sincerely, I’ll mercifully tell you! For..."
Herbert was stunned upon hearing this opening, instinctively taking over the conversation: "To prevent the world from being destroyed! To maintain peace in the world! To uphold love and truth... ahem, never mind, madam, please continue."
I originally thought you were a noble goddess who could endure and fight.
But now you tell me you’re actually Meowth from Team Rocket!
So... what about the gold coins on your head?
"Hmm? What are you talking about?"
The Ice and Snow Goddess looked at the self-talking paladin curiously and glanced at him: "You... never mind, it’s not important, anyway, don’t interrupt me!"
"Hmm hmm, okay okay."
Hecayas adjusted herself after being interrupted, and successfully adjusted her emotions, proudly lying on Herbert’s arm.
Originally, after Herbert successfully became a Godslayer, she was a bit afraid of this "Divine Favorer (one-sided)" whom she admired.
But after a series of events, she had completely returned her mindset to the state of their previous interactions.
Herbert’s attitude hadn’t changed, so hers shouldn’t change — on the surface.
Internally, while holding reverence for the Godslayer, she didn’t need to think too humbly.
"Before I tell you the truth, Herbert, answer me one question... where are you going?"
"Where to?"
Herbert chuckled and asked back: "I’m a paladin of the Mist Monastery. Other than returning to the monastery, where can I go? Visit Frost Crystal for family?"
Seeing him not directly answering, the Goddess calmly said: "Well you could visit Frost Crystal, I’ve fulfilled my promise, those people’s lives have greatly changed since you left."
"At least, they won’t be starving to death anymore."
Herbert’s expression subtly changed, then he relaxed completely, smiling: "Quite a change? Well then... hehe, now I can rest assured, looks like it was right to hand it over to you back then."
"Hmph, of course!"
The Ice and Snow Goddess proudly tilted her chin up, signaling Herbert to not hesitate to pet, and proudly said: "I’ve done what I ought to, what about you? The place you mentioned to me before, how is it now?"
"If you need help, I can still..."
The Goddess got a bright idea, planning to perform a scene of "reluctantly helping upon hearing your difficulties".
She planned to use the Natural Pantheon’s favor, in her private name, to provide Herbert with some small assistance.
The money, you all provide.
The credit and favor, I’ll bear the hardship alone.
The kitten wins big!
Before finishing her words, she was directly interrupted by Herbert’s calm voice.
"So, the crux of what you want to mention is Elda."
He held the cat in one arm, casually stroking his chin with the other, raising his eyebrows: "And you... no, it’s you all, presently you don’t just represent yourself, but others behind you."
"Natural Pantheon?"
"Is it they who want you to convey the Pantheon’s attitude to me? Goodwill?"
"Goodwill alone isn’t enough, have to see their sincerity... So, tell me, madam, what are you willing to offer me?"
He squinted slightly, smiled and looked down at the stiff white fur in his arms and asked: "Resources? Money? Or... population?"
Ice and Snow Goddess: ???
No way!
What’s happening?
I haven’t said a word yet! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
How do you know everything!!?
"... Eh? No way! How do you know everything?"
The kitten didn’t understand, but was greatly shocked.
"I guessed."
Herbert’s expression stayed the same, smiling calmly and leisurely: "I believe you wouldn’t betray information related to Elda, but under pressure would admit to our relationship."
"If the people of the Natural Pantheon want to engage in friendly exchanges with me, then this first talk will show enough sincerity... and only you coming to find me, then the gift’s sincerity must be even higher."
"And what I need most right now, is population."
"So, according to the guess, you’re probably looking for an opportunity to send me a batch of residents?"
"I guessed, right?"
Right?
Hecayas wasn’t sure what to refute at this moment.
No, how do you know more than me!
She, as the person involved, wasn’t so clear on the true intentions behind the Pantheon’s friendly operations, yet this guy guessed everything based on a few details.
At this moment, the often brainless kitten realized the vast gap between his wisdom and hers.
This guy, is he even human?
In front of Herbert’s terrifying wisdom, the Ice and Snow Goddess became much more obedient, dared not to hide any small thoughts, and quickly explained everything in detail.
Then after hearing the Ice and Snow Goddess’s "confession", Herbert suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked a question.
"Actually, I’m willing to accept the goodwill of Natural Pantheon, willing to accept the cursed people, but have you completely overlooked a problem?"
"What problem?"
"Even if I’m willing to accept them, what about their own thoughts?"
Herbert squinted his eyes, speaking slowly in a tone that gradually tightened the spirits: "Do they wish to accept my goodwill?"
...
...
Forgotten Forest.
"No, you don’t need to thank me, these foods are what you deserve."
Cyril took a laborious breath, raised his hand to hold the still aching ribs, biting his teeth not to let his weakness be exposed to this group of excited children.
He looked at the Beastman Guard Captain and forced a smile: "If it wasn’t for you saving me before, I would have already died."
"In that case, I would have disappointed the lord again."
"Additionally, regarding the migration, my suggestion is... If possible, leave as soon as you can."
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and seriously said:
"I’ll leave here with you, help you until we find the next home."
