Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 155 The Goddess's Peeping (Additional Updates 11 12)
Snowflakes are floating in the sky.

But those glittering crystals did not take away the thick fog of the Misty Mountains. The two were in clear contact without any blending.

Herbert held Valentina from behind to his chest so that she could sleep more comfortably in his arms.

"call……"

This is Herbert's tenderness.

There is absolutely no such despicable idea of ​​"wanting to use Valentina as a dragon meat shield or ramming horn"!

Not at all!
Instead of taking the safe path leading to the Misty Monastery, he rashly took another path and headed in another direction.

Perhaps because Valentina released the dragon's might at every moment, Herbert did not encounter any danger in the first hour or so.

To be precise, he didn't even encounter any living creatures.

All the creatures hiding in the thick fog fled and scattered after sensing the might of the legendary dragon.

For others, entering the Misty Mountains is an adventure, a risk of life, risking their lives in exchange for wealth.

But for Herbert, this exploration was just a walk.

It's like going home.

"Hmm~Hmm~Ha~Uh~Ah~Ah~"

He hummed a lullaby, patted Valentina's back gently, and staggered deeper into the thick fog while coaxing the child.

However, he did not blindly want to rush into the deepest part of the fog in one go.

That's pure suicide.

After so long, no one knew what kind of ghost things were hidden in the depths of the fog - not even Nenasha knew.

It is true that this is the remains of His kingdom of God, but He has been imprisoned for more than a thousand years and has long lost his perception of this place.

What remains the most in the wreckage of the Kingdom of God is His scattered divinity.

Divinity is the most magical energy in the world and the source of divine power.

It is the source of all divine power and the origin of all miracles.

It is like a special energy that contains infinite power and infinite mystery, and is the basis for driving the gods.

But it is not only gods that possess divinity. There are many creatures in this world that possess divinity.

When a mortal creature obtains divinity and is not destroyed by that terrifying power, but successfully merges with it... then it will completely transcend the level of mortal creatures and be promoted to another level.

Divine creature!
They possess strength far beyond that of ordinary beings, and can also create miracles to a limited extent.

Descendants of gods, those favored by gods, evil creatures, evil spirits, acquired divine creatures...

The divinity they obtained was either directly bestowed by the gods, or obtained from the corpses of some ancient beings, or they were lucky enough to pick up props containing divinity.

Destiny is magical and free, all kinds of things can happen.

It is even possible that the descendants of divine bloodline may accidentally revert to their ancestral bloodline at a certain point in time and gain the same concentration of divinity as the first generation of descendants of gods. Such a bizarre thing.

Before anything is determined, everything is possible.

Moreover, due to the differences in the nature of various divinities, the power that can be exerted by the possessors of divinity is also different.

Various elemental powers, combat abilities, spellcasting abilities, law abilities...

Well, now you can take a guess.

In a place full of divinity, what kind of monster can be bred in a thousand years?

The answer is – everything is possible.

Because gods themselves are the most unreasonable miracles, any strange things that appear are reasonable.

Although he had Valentina as his bodyguard, he knew very well that Miss Hungry Dragon was not invincible.

You can spend money, but not too much.

Herbert's purpose this time was actually to find another natural port in the Misty Mountains and set up the base there.

The cost of land transport is too high for the current situation.

If Herbert's base could have a port and transport resources from the sea, many things would become extremely convenient.

Although the Misty Mountains are surrounded by the sea on three sides, two of them are steep cliffs and the sea is full of reefs, making them unsuitable for ships to dock.

Only the sea on the side of the Misty Monastery is relatively calm and the water is extremely deep, making it a natural ice-free harbor.

But he certainly couldn't be so careless as to jump in front of the monastery. That would be just looking for trouble - at least not for the time being.

In fact, Herbert had always had a very dangerous idea in his mind, planning to absorb the entire monastery into the future Nenasha's divine church system...

There is a ready-made one, can we have it, ah, right?
Pretty bold, but doesn't seem completely impossible?

Of course, this is a long and arduous goal and cannot be easily attempted in a short period of time.

This kind of poaching from the monastery cannot be rushed.

In order not to irritate the archbishop and other high-level officials, Herbert could only slowly develop his subordinates.

The reformation of Sister Kaplan went quite well. Her attitude towards Valentina has improved a lot. I believe her attitude towards other monster girls will also change in the future.

As for the other paladins, Herbert did not deliberately instill in them the idea that "Monster Girls are not bad."

That's too deliberate and could easily cause a backlash.

Instead, he chose to strengthen his prestige in their hearts.

For the nun, you need to increase the favorability points; for the paladin, you need to increase the prestige points.

In the minds of those good Paladin brothers, Herbert has transformed from a "young Paladin with extremely high talent" into someone else.

Now, in their hearts, Herbert was a hero who "forced the evil nobles of the entire kingdom into a corner and made them struggle to death in just one month."

That's right, a hero.

Herbert had the paladins stay in the slums for more than half a month to help the people, just to let them witness with their own eyes everything that the residents of the Frost Crystal Kingdom had suffered.

He did not deliberately tell the paladins what the enemy looked like, but gave them a chance to witness it for themselves.

Look at the kind of lives these people lead to make them believe that all Frost Crystal Nobility are evil.

Herbert wanted them to understand that even though I had done something like slaughtering an entire family of nobles, my actions were completely just.

Everything I do is for the poor people, all for the purpose of giving them a better life.

Eliminate evil and safeguard justice.

To kill is to do the right thing.

In the name of justice, destruction is done.

As long as it is done well, there is no difference between the two.

This is only the first time, and we have achieved such results. There will be a second time, a third time...

After it happens enough times, they will naturally believe everything Herbert says without any persuasion.

They don't even think they are bewitched.

Because they witnessed it all with their own eyes!

If everything we do is just, then our hearts and actions will be as clear as a mirror.

Although there is no unified title yet, the name Herbert used among the paladins has begun to show signs of changing.

From "Sir Herbert" to Sir [Scarlet Knight], [Eye of Judgment], and [Wings of Vengeance]...

There is no definitive conclusion to those names yet, because Herbert has not done enough to come up with a name that convinces everyone.

But Herbert was not in a hurry about this. He believed that one day he would have the same awe-inspiring title as others.

Herbert strode forward in the fog without stopping, thinking about his future plans.

He took the fastest route, which was a straight line between two points, and headed towards his destination.

Although he could also let Valentina take him directly to the port, his main goal this time was to try to find a safe and reliable route first.

If he is the only one who can use a road, then it is of no use at all.

What he wanted to build was a paradise that could communicate normally with the outside world, not an isolated island hidden in the depths of the fog. After walking for several hours, after completing one-third of the journey, Herbert gradually slowed down his pace and frowned as he looked ahead.

"This is……"

An unexpected situation appeared in front of him.

lake.

A huge lake with no end in sight appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

The lake water was deep blue and there was no sign of life. The water suddenly deepened five meters away from the shore, turning blue-black and the bottom of the lake could not be seen at all.

"What's happening here?"

Comparing the map he had drawn earlier with his memory of the journey, Herbert was absolutely certain that the lake did not originally exist here.

According to his plan, the lake should be on his left side, but he deliberately avoided it.

Am I lost?

Herbert frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, denying his self-doubt.

"No, it's impossible."

"I don't get lost in the dark, so how could I get lost in the fog?"

"The trajectory is to the left today?"

Herbert laughed at himself and said casually, "But it can't be that the lake water grew legs and ran here? That's too ridiculous...hiss."

He was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Don’t say it, hey, please don’t say it.

This kind of outrageous thing does not seem to be completely impossible in this world.

"Nenasha, can you sense any living creature in the lake?"

【“…”】

The God of Harmony rarely became serious. He carefully felt it for a long time and said softly: [“There is something... It may be related to me, but I can’t sense its malice right now.”]

Herbert was also feeling the lake water, but he could only feel a sense of joy.

The water element here was extremely active, even more active than the water controlled by Freme, constantly calling out to Herbert, calling him to walk into the water.

(come over!)

(Friends, come here.)
(Come among us!)

(Come on!)

Herbert did not feel any malice from the water element, but he was a little resistant to this life-threatening call.

I always feel like this is going to be the start of a horror story.

"How about I just go back the way I came?"

【“…No, that’s not necessary. Hehe.”】

After hesitating for a long time, Nenasha finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled meaningfully: [“Oh~ So that’s it!”]

[“Okay, I know what’s inside. Go ahead and go. If you’re lucky, you might get a lot of benefits.”]

"Ah."

Herbert rolled his eyes and snorted, "You have to keep it a secret, don't you? You are such a mysterious guy!"

[“I’m not pretending. I am a god myself~”]

"Shut up, a sealed god has no right to speak."

【"Oh!"】

While Herbert was arguing with Nenasha, he gently and laboriously peeled the saurian off his body.

He gently put Valentina on the grass, took off his shirt and covered her with it.

"Hmm? Hmm, huh..."

Valentina was awake for a moment, but she smelled the reassuring scent that filled her nose and soon fell asleep again, holding her clothes.

Her reaction also made Herbert feel a little relieved.

She was able to sleep peacefully, proving that this strange lake did not pose any threat to the intuitive Valentina.

So, even if something does go wrong, it won’t have any impact, right?

Herbert took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, and then tentatively walked into the lake.

!!!

A powerful energy came from the cool lake water, rising from the feet, quickly passing through the legs and spreading to the whole body, causing Herbert to exhale uncontrollably.

"call……"

(friend!)

(good friend!)
(Go further!)
At the same time, feeling the more joyful call, Herbert's smile became more sincere, and he whispered: "Haha, don't be anxious."

He did not immediately follow the call of the water element, but stood where he was, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

What Herbert didn't know, and even Nenasha didn't notice, was that while he was standing in the lake quietly regulating his breathing, a pair of cold eyes had been staring at him for a long time.

Snowflakes are falling.

A petite human figure made of ice and snow appeared on a high mountain far away from the lake. Its sight spanned a distance of thousands of meters, penetrating the fog, looking down from above... secretly observing Herbert's every move.

When Herbert entered the Misty Mountains, fine snowflakes fell from the sky, and the dark cloud had been chasing him all the way.

If he knew more about the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess, he would have noticed this - the snowflakes are the eyes of the goddess.

"If He wants, every snowflake can be His eye and an extension of His domain."

The Ice and Snow Goddess set her sights on him!
"That mortal..."

On ordinary days, He would not come to this place because this place represents the existence of a certain taboo.

But at this moment, the Ice and Snow Goddess would rather take the risk and cast her gaze over.

The reason is simple.

He was a little unhappy.

In fact, without exaggeration or slander, citing historical records and without any prejudice, it can be seen that most female gods are quite vengeful.

As the most powerful females in the world, they are more delicate and pay more attention to the small details of some things.

The Ice and Snow Goddess was somewhat unhappy with the human boy who brought out a saint in her own temple to threaten her bishop.

But at the same time, He was somewhat curious about why He wanted to help Him expand His faith.

Provocative and dedicated, what do you mean?
Mortal, you have successfully attracted the attention of the goddess!

So He was willing to take the risk of being noticed by other gods and observe the young man carefully.

But unexpectedly, after this observation, he found that Herbert had actually walked into the Misty Mountains in such a suicidal way.

He wants to die?
"…What on earth do you want to do by coming to this dangerous place?"

As the Ice and Snow Goddess was thinking, she saw a huge purple tentacle emerging from the lake and rushing towards Herbert.

"mortal!!?"
