Chapter 212 Are you watching? (5K)
"Praise my Lord!"

"Please allow me to pray to you faithfully!"

On the scorched earth, the man with the broken arm knelt devoutly and prayed loudly with a hoarse voice.

Calling out to that unknown great being.

Steven didn't know how long he had been here.

How many days and nights have passed?
He can't remember.

Ever since I saw the miracle that day, my concept of time has become chaotic.

Can't tell the difference between day and night.

Here he knelt, praying day after day.

He seemed to hear an indescribable voice whispering in his ears, teaching him the truth of the world.

He didn't understand, but he could feel the greatness of God from it!
God!

A God who cannot be blasphemed!
Great power!

A power that cannot be looked at directly!
……

Steven's mental state is getting worse and worse, but he feels that he is becoming more and more energetic!
Some ancient stories even began to emerge in his mind.

It was as if someone was whispering in his ear, and he followed along and repeated it softly.

Later, Steven got an epiphany.

Great enlightenment!

He felt that he was chosen by God to be His messenger!
Become His mouth, and spread His name to the world!

He gladly accepted the offer and was willing to take on this important task.

However, it is far from enough for him to do it alone.

He needs at least some helpers and needs to escape from here successfully.

So Steven prayed to God to send His messenger to save him.

At the beginning, he directly hoped that God would send his apostle to lead him out of the difficulties and become a helper to protect his safety.

"I pray that you will let your apostles appear! Let those apostles who are given special missions bring me life and hope, take me away from here, and become my helpers!"

But the god did not respond.

But Steven was not discouraged. This request was indeed a bit abrupt, and it was normal to be rejected by the gods.

So he lowered his request and continued to pray, hoping that the gods would send an angel.

I don't even want to be his bodyguard, I just want the angel to take him away from here.

"I also pray that you can send your angel! Let the angel with white wings and full of holy light take me across this ocean."

But...there was still no response from the gods.

Steven's heart wavered a little, but he still didn't give up and continued to pray.

This time, he fully understood his position and humbly pleaded:

"If all else fails, then I pray that you can send your heroic spirits down! Let those legendary heroic spirits that possess great power and fearless courage lend me a helping hand in this time of crisis!"

He doesn't want apostles, he doesn't want angels, and he doesn't want to be taken away from here directly.

I just humbly hope that a heroic spirit can provide a little more help.

A little help goes a long way!
however……

No matter how humbly he prayed, no matter how he lowered his demands.

There was still no response from the gods.

He seemed to be abandoned by the gods.

At this moment, Steven suddenly felt dazed, as if he had woken up for a moment, and began to doubt whether the "miracle" had really happened.

Could it be that I actually built the building and then forgot about it?
Do you mistakenly think it is the work of God?

Could it be that the god never existed in the first place?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Steven became.

Just when Steven began to doubt himself and even the authenticity of the gods... he heard a whisper.

"who are you?"

!!!

Steven had already understood long ago that there was no one else in this place except himself.

But now, he heard a second voice.

what does this mean?
This means that he has finally been noticed by God!!!

"Me! I'm Steven!"

"I am my Lord's most loyal servant!"

Steven shouted excitedly and suddenly turned his head to look behind him, trying to see the appearance of the person sent by God.

!!!

"This……"

And when Steven turned around, he saw what he had prayed for!
An angel with blood-red wings, a beautiful apostle with a human body and a fish tail, and a centaur hero wearing armor.

All appeared.

All that I prayed for appeared before me.

Gods do exist!

He has not forsaken me.

He sent all these beings to me!
"Praise the Lord! Praise..."

Steven shouted excitedly, and then felt the last bit of strength being drained from his body.

He rolled his eyes and fell heavily to the ground.

Fainted completely.

……

"What's happening here?"

Freyme casually cast a healing spell on the unconscious Steven, then asked curiously, "Did you arrange this?"

"Of course not."

Herbert tilted his head in confusion as he looked at Steven, who had fainted after shouting something to himself.

What are you doing?
This refreshed character doesn't seem normal.

Is it because I didn’t charge any money?

As expected, I have no money to play with you... eh.

After thinking about it, Herbert shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

"No, I don't know who he is either. But don't worry about it. Let's wait until he wakes up."

No matter who he is or what his purpose is, you will know when you wake up and ask him.

With the support of two legends and himself, Herbert still didn't believe that this guy could really rebel.

After having Sophia drag Steven aside to guard him, Herbert took Freme's hand and took her around the territory.

Of course, even though it was just a stroll, there wasn't really anything to see.

Apart from a scorched earth, there was only a wooden pile and a dilapidated shed.

To say that there is a lot of work to be done here is an exaggeration. There is absolutely nothing to do here.

Freyme looked around, observed curiously, and asked, "Herbert, is this the place you are talking about?"

"Yes."

“Although I own the land, I haven’t had time to develop it yet.”

Herbert seemed very calm about the current situation here. He had no intention of hiding anything or deliberately trying to brag.

The facts are right in front of us. They are what they are and cannot be hidden.

“The last time I came here, I just asked Valentina to help clear the trees and land.”

He briefly recounted the work they had done last time and described the plan for this place.

After that, he smiled, winked and asked: "Are you disappointed when you see the situation here?"

Having said that, he suddenly had a strange feeling and couldn't help laughing at himself.

It's like I'm bringing my newly married wife back to my hometown. I've coaxed and lied to her about the place before, but when we got there, I found out it was just a remote mountain village.

It's a bit immoral.

However, Herbert is not such a black-hearted person, and Freme is not the kind of brainless person who would be deceived... cough!

I don't mean she's not big.

Not really.

After hearing Herbert's self-deprecating laughter, Freme also laughed and shook her head slightly.

"Haha, how could it be?"

Miss Mermaid smiled lightly and said gently: "My home has always been by your side."

"As long as I have you, it is enough."

Freme really didn't think there was anything wrong here.

Although this place looks like a wasteland and there is no life.

But having no foundation also means having infinite possibilities.

She believed that with Herbert's ability and her help, it would not take long for this place to become a satisfactory residence.

It's just starting from scratch.

"Besides, I can smell the ocean. It's not far from here."

She sniffed gently, smelled the scent of the sea, and took a deep breath with some emotion.

Freyme blinked and smiled, "Is this specially prepared for me?"

"Ah."

Herbert nodded and said frankly: "There are many reasons why we chose this place, one of which is considering you and your ability." "This place is very suitable for building a port, and with you here, you will definitely be able to escort those ships in the coastal waters."

"Of course, you can also swim in the ocean on weekdays."

"You should like this place more than the fake sea water in the cage."

The Deep Water Prison has now been changed under Herbert's enhanced authority and has been transformed into a very suitable residence where Freme can swim freely.

However, that false ocean has its limits after all; it is just a larger fish tank.

The real ocean is where she should belong.

Just as Herbert was about to continue introducing Freme, he found his cheek suddenly being gently held.

Ok?
I turned my head blankly and saw the mermaid's gentle expression, which looked a little happy but also a little resentful.

"What's wrong... um."

Before Herbert could ask the reason, Freme kissed him gently.

This time, their kiss was not as passionate as before, but unusually gentle.

It's like they are hugging each other.

After a moment, the two slowly separated.

"Herbert, I have said this many times."

With a slightly flushed face, Frey stared at Herbert's blank eyes and said softly:

"It doesn't matter to me where I am, what matters is you."

"Whether it's the ocean or the prison, as long as I have you here, it makes no difference."

What is important is never the environment, but the people.

For the mermaid princess who has been lonely for too long, nothing in this world can compare to the partner she has chosen.

"But I'm happy that you can consider this for me."

She smiled shyly and wanted to sneak a kiss again to express her joy...but was hugged by Herbert.

A Saint Seiya will not be defeated a second time by the same ultimate move!
Before Freme was ready to attack, Herbert had already predicted her move and took the initiative to kiss her.

Just as the two were kissing again, Herbert suddenly noticed a prying gaze.

Um! ! ?
who is it?

He suddenly let go of Freme and turned to look at the source of that gaze - he saw Sophia who was staring at him secretly with wide eyes.

"Well!!?"

After noticing that he was exposed, the Centaur Heroic Spirit shrank back in embarrassment and tried to hide himself behind a tree, but his ponytail was exposed in panic.

"what happened?"

Freme was still a little dazed and didn't notice that she was being spied on - and even if she noticed, she wouldn't care.

She doesn't care if others are watching her and her partner's intimate behavior.

Humph, let them be envious!
"nothing."

Herbert looked a little strange, retracted his gaze, and smiled: "Maybe I'm not used to being stared at by others."

I'm just overthinking it.

Hearing this, Freme giggled, pinched his cheek, and teased, "Haha, you are really innocent~"

Herbert raised his eyebrows, then moved sideways to block Sophia's sight, and stretched out his fingers to gently touch Freme's lips.

“Uh…Ah!!?”

Freme, who was suddenly attacked, was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly retreated more than half a meter.

She covered her mouth with her hands and stared at Herbert with a blushing face.

"you you you!"

What are you going to do!
Herbert just spread his hands and shrugged. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.

Guess what I'm going to do?
He smiled, turned around and shouted to the other side: "Sophia."

!!!

Sophia shuddered, then poked her head out from behind the tree trunk and smiled awkwardly, "...What do you want, my Lord?"

"hehe."

Herbert laughed at her unnatural expression, thinking it was a little funny, and deliberately asked, "Are you satisfied with what you saw just now?"

satisfied?
Sophia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Satisfied, quite... Uh, no, I didn't see it, I really didn't see anything!"

Facing her expression, Herbert shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, don't worry about it. I have something to tell you."

"You keep an eye on him here. I'll take Freme to the beach to have a look."

Sophia wanted to remain stubborn at first, but after seeing Herbert's eyes that saw through everything, her voice became lower and lower, and finally she lowered her head obediently.

"I really didn't see it, I really didn't... cough! I understand!"

"Ah."

Herbert nodded and waved at the shy Freme: "Aren't you coming over? Then I'll go alone? Or do you want me to go with Sophia?"

"……snort!"

Fleme moved her lips, glared at Herbert, then grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the sea.

Just go, I'm not afraid of you!

With the practical experience from last time, combined with the knowledge from the book, this time, I will make you lose your weapons and surrender early!

"..."

After Herbert and Freme left and their figures disappeared into the mist, Sophia slowly raised her head and let out a long breath.

"call……"

She thought she would be punished for peeping, but she didn't expect that the master didn't seem to care about it.

so far so good……

She didn't know why, but she subconsciously wanted to observe it carefully.

It was a strange feeling.

It was as if she had been longing for that kind of thing for a long time and had never had the chance in the past.

What did I forget?
What kind of life did I lead in the past?

What Sophia didn't notice was that when she was looking towards the east with emotion, a clod of earth slowly sank not far behind her.

On the coast, Freme did not rush into the sea she had not seen for a long time. Instead, she took a deep breath and looked at Herbert seriously.

"Okay, come on! I'm ready!"

Her expression was solemn and dignified, as if she was facing a difficult challenge.

come on.

I'm ready!

This time, I will definitely not fail as miserably as before.

However, at this time, Herbert, who invited her to meet privately at the beach, did not get to the point, but asked an irrelevant question.

"Did you want to notice?"

Notice?

"Noticed...what?"

Freme blinked, not understanding what Herbert meant for a moment, and said strangely:

"I've already remembered the problem with my teeth. I will definitely not make the same mistake again..."

She bared her teeth at Herbert and gave him a sullen look.

Who do you think I am?

Can't you even remember something like this? Do you need to be reminded so many times?
After saying that, Freme lowered her head, intending to prove herself with practical actions.

Let me show you this!
Then, her forehead was gently touched.

"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry, no one is competing with you for it."

Herbert said helplessly: "Although the matter of teeth is also important, this is not what I want to talk about."

He was afraid that Freyme would get angry and embarrassed if she misunderstood him, so he quickly explained, "Did you notice someone was spying on me just now?"

Ok?
"You mean Sofia? Didn't you already scare her...wait, there are others?"

Freme didn't care about the embarrassment at this time. She realized the seriousness of the problem and her expression became serious: "Are you sure? I don't feel any danger at all."

Just when they were laughing and joking, there was actually an outsider watching everything in secret.

What kind of existence could escape the perception of these two legends?
Legend? More than legend?
"About 90% sure."

Herbert shook his head, not daring to guarantee it 100%, but he didn't think his perception was wrong, and said lightly: "The other party did not show any malicious intent, he was just watching from the side."

"Just from the current situation, we don't know who is the enemy or who is the enemy."

Freyme frowned, suddenly feeling a little nervous: "So what should we do next?"

She was about to stand up, but the palm that was against her forehead just now fell to the back of her head.

Ok?
"How to do it is something we can consider later. Now is an important thing to do."

Herbert gently touched Miss Mermaid's hair, chuckled and asked, "Did I say I won't do it anymore?"

"Don't worry, I don't feel that person's sight right now, so I'm still safe... but that may not be the case in a while. Do you want to keep dawdling?"

Then, Herbert smiled and revealed a little secret.

"Besides, knowing that you might be spied on must have made you feel more excited."

"Isn't it?"

Freme thought of everything she had done in the endless maze, her face flushed and she rolled her eyes at Herbert.

However, the eye roll she gave at this moment had no lethality because of the blush on her face, but instead revealed an amazing charm.

"……snort!"

A moment later, by the coast.

A gentle breeze blew across the beach, causing the hanging wind chimes to tinkle slightly.
