"Eh?"

What kind of hospitality is this?
Herbert felt he had learned something new.

He'd seen plenty of those exhilarating scenes, but this one was truly unlike anything he'd ever seen before.

"Wow, is this the kind of unique opening we're going for?"

Herbert felt that he was a man who had seen the world and experienced all sorts of great things.

No matter what kind of opening the goddess of the forest prepared for him, whether it was a show of force or a sweet talk, he was able to handle it calmly.

Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, bring them all on!
Then--

Herbert's brain was completely overwhelmed by the hyperexpansion.

Wait, no, this...

He had never seen such a unique opening before.

I was too naive.

Why are there two dogs?
Right, is that right?

This is wrong!

People shouldn't watch dog movies, or at least they shouldn't.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Herbert listened to the male hound's angry barking, his lips twitching. For a moment, he didn't know how to react, feeling as if he had unintentionally done something wrong.

No, I don't need to feel it; I just unconsciously did something immoral.

I, an outsider, have really gone too far.

Put yourself in their shoes; if you were interrupted by an intruder while you were passionately exercising, you might really be left with psychological trauma.

Oh dear, my apologies.

But the problem is, this time Herbert really can't be blamed.

He is truly innocent this time.

"It's not that I wanted to bother you, alright, alright, stop yelling at me! I can't help you push your butt if you keep yelling."

Herbert shrugged, offered a few helpless words of explanation for himself, and then turned to observe his surroundings.

"It's definitely a forest, but there seems to be something wrong with the location." He blinked, looking around at his surroundings with great curiosity.

He stepped through the vine-woven gate and entered an unknown forest.

The lush foliage blocked the scorching sunlight, casting dappled shadows and providing coolness. Even though there was no wind, it swayed gently, making a rustling sound.

The calls of various birds drifted through the woods, intertwining like a beautiful, almost ethereal melody.

Quiet and peaceful, just being here allows you to feel the restlessness in your soul being silently worn away by a gentle force, leaving only peace.

You can feel the kindness coming from all directions, from the small animals hiding in the shadows, and from the seemingly unconscious plants themselves.

They were all watching their intruder, but instead of chasing him away, they showed a faint kindness—except for the male hunting dog whose plans had been ruined.

"Wow wow wow!"

Seeing that Herbert was standing still, the male hound seemed to feel provoked and barked even louder.

They probably used even more vulgar language.

"Wang."

Even the female hound couldn't stand it anymore and barked softly. The male hound stopped, but still stared at Herbert with hostile eyes and barked softly.

"Wang..."

No, even your companions have forgiven me, so why are you still chasing after me?
Even she doesn't mind anymore, so why can't you let go?
"call……"

Hearing the defiant whimpers, Herbert turned his gaze away from the beautiful scenery and back to the two hounds piled on top of each other.

"Oh?"

Putting everything else aside, upon closer inspection, both of them are in really good condition. They are pure white with fluffy long fur, and they look and feel very nice to the touch.

And... hey, you know what?

It was my first time watching an animal movie, and I found it quite exciting.

He could sense that the two "hunting dogs" were not actually animals.

They... are actually heroic spirits from the divine realm.

Not all believers retain their physical form after death and entering God's Kingdom; some will voluntarily transform into animals, plants, humans, demons, and so on.

These changes were either based on personal preferences or were forced to alter their form in accordance with the mandatory requirements of the divine kingdom's rules.

In some divine kingdoms of beast-like deities who hate humans, one must transform into the form of prey and is not allowed to appear in any human form.

Even human believers, after becoming Heroic Spirits, must abide by this rule and be sealed in the bodies of beasts, becoming some special intelligent wild beasts.

Some of these intelligent beasts will get used to standing upright, wearing clothes, and living a proper life as they did in life.

Conversely, some wild beasts may take on human form in the divine realm but retain their animal instincts and need a long time to adapt to walking on two legs.

Herbert couldn't tell what race the two hound-like heroic spirits were in life, but they were certainly not pure beasts.

Because from those incessant barking dogs, Herbert could hear at least three grammatical errors!
Three places!
This isn't a natural dog; it's a fake dog that was made!
To be honest, Herbert didn't want to understand these swear words either; nobody likes being cursed at—well, excluding those with peculiar tastes like that shameful vampire.

However, a bored and humorous god insisted on getting involved and, unusually considerately, granted him the ability to translate animal languages ​​in real time.

Proficient in animal languages!
“Nenesha, if you think you have too much power, I can help you waste it all for free, leaving you not a single drop.”

Having already enjoyed her moment, Miss Harmony didn't care about Herbert's threat at all and only replied with two words.

【"Hehe~"】

What are you mumbling about?

I don't care about this or that.

You can take your revenge however you want later, I'm happy right now anyway.

That was so cool!
Herbert was somewhat helpless with Nenasha's stubborn and unyielding personality, and for the time being, he couldn't think of a way to retaliate. He could only keep this grudge in his heart for the time being, and settle the score when the time was right.

So, Herbert could only vent his frustration on other people.

Coincidentally, he soon found the lucky one.

"hehe."

Herbert looked deeply at the male hound that was still barking, and seeing that it was still barking oblivious to its own mortality, the slight sense of guilt in his heart dissipated.

However, he certainly can't bark at the dog directly right now.

That might indeed have been a form of retaliation, but it was somewhat abstract.

If a dog bites you, are you supposed to bite it back?

Well... it's not impossible, it can bite if it really wants to, the bite force of the terrifying upright ape is quite ferocious.

But it's somewhat undignified.

Herbert considered himself to be a respectable person.

Even when he killed someone, he would try his best to leave the victim with a complete corpse. If he couldn't leave it, he would choose to behead the victim directly, a thoughtful method that would make it easier to reassemble the body later.

This approach reduces the patient's final suffering without causing trouble for the family, truly demonstrating the benevolence of a doctor.

As for whether I'm bloodthirsty or not, and whether I can be considered a proper doctor with medical ethics... I'm a paladin, what medical ethics do I need?
Furthermore, judging from the current situation, they have completely adapted to their new identity, identify themselves as dogs, and can no longer even speak human language.

Some dogs are strange; the more angrily you bark, the more excited they are likely to become.

Herbert didn't want to make it feel good.

"Haha, got it."

After thinking for a while, Herbert suddenly had an interesting idea.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He calmly admired the two-headed hound that couldn't be separated because of the "mortise and tenon structure" for a while, occasionally nodding or shaking his head in a critical manner.

"Tsk tsk tsk, ha."

???

"Woof!?"

The male hunting dog was a little creeped out by Herbert's strange behavior and barked uneasily twice, instinctively trying to escape—but the Lock of Heaven was still there, and there was no way to escape.

Oops!

Family members, it seems like we've encountered a psychopath!

The male hunting dog suddenly felt like giving up.

Or, just forget it?

Can't I just ignore him?

It was not afraid that this intruder was a ferocious madman; this was the divine kingdom of the gods, and no outsider dared to run wild here.

But it's terrified that the other person is a mentally unstable psychopath!
hiss--

The male hunting dog tried to escape, but someone was determined not to let it go.

I told you to stop just now, but you didn't listen. Weren't you being very smug?

Now you realize something's wrong and want to leave?
It's late.

You can't leave now!
Herbert noticed the evasive look in the male hound's eyes, so his smile widened, and he took a step forward.

Although it was only one step closer, it caused the male hunting dog's psychological defenses to crumble on the spot, and it barked frantically.

"Woof! Woof—woof!?"

("You! Don't come any closer! Aaaaaaah!")
For some unknown reason, in his haste and confusion, the two dogs' mortise and tenon joints tightened even more as he struggled haphazardly.

Because of the male hound's panicked movements, the female hound became agitated and turned around to bite him without any mercy.

"Wang!"

After scolding her ignorant partner, the female hound kept her head bowed low, not daring to look at Herbert.

The male hound that had been bitten so badly didn't dare to dodge and could only stay obediently in place, not daring to move again.

Herbert had noticed long ago that the two of them... uh, no, the two of them were not equal in strength. One was mid-level and the other was high-level, a difference of a whole major rank.

That's why Herbert couldn't help but complain earlier.

You're always being protected by others, how can you be so ungrateful?

They've already forgiven me, but you, the one being taken care of, are still making a fuss. Don't you realize your place?

As I said before—since you're being kept by someone, don't talk about personal independence.
Now, although the male hound has been punished, Herbert certainly won't be satisfied with just watching it.

After thinking it over, Herbert decided to take matters into his own hands and give it the most humiliating punishment!

I'll come myself!

Herbert raised his hand and reached out to grab the two hounds.

However, instead of grabbing the male hound, it gently stroked the female hound that was pinned underneath, lightly stroking its head.

The female hound, recognizing Herbert's strength, dared not dodge, obediently lowering her head and letting out soft, ingratiating whimpers.

???

"Woof!?"

When facing a powerful opponent whom one cannot resist, and who is clearly invited by one's own god, doing this is certainly not a problem.

But it ignored the feelings of a person, well, a dog, and completely disregarded the incredulous look in the male hound's eyes.

At that moment, the male hound seemed to have forgotten how to speak, otherwise it would have certainly questioned him in a hoarse voice.

Forget everything else, it completely broke down in its defenses and let out a mournful howl. "Awooo—"

What the hell are you doing?!
That's my wife!

Right in front of me?!?
Don't you ever hide it from people?

Unfortunately, no one cares about these cries of grief.

Herbert was even more pleased after hearing the other party's loser's speech, and he rubbed the area twice more before letting go, feeling refreshed.

In a great mood, he even rewarded the well-behaved female hound by infusing it with some magical essence.

The rewarded female hound's eyes snapped open, and she began to tremble uncontrollably, letting out a whimpering cry.

"Woo——"

Meanwhile, the male hunting dog that witnessed this scene also barked, letting out a pitiful howl, with tears of humiliation welling up in its eyes.

“Woo! Woo woo woo—”

Herbert watched this scene, his smile growing increasingly twisted, admiring his work and nodding in satisfaction.

"Okay, that's about right."

He patted the male hunting dog on the head and shook his head, admonishing it, "I'll let you off this time. But be good next time, and don't be so unforgiving!"

At this point, the male hunting dog had completely lost the will to resist, its eyes glazed over and its head bowed, as if it had been stimulated by something.

Herbert looked at its dejected state, shook his head, and earnestly lectured it:

"Oh dear, how can you be so petty?"

"I'm just giving your wife a small reward, what's wrong with that?"

"And I'm doing this right in front of you!"

"You can't be so possessive and jealous!"

"After all, the most important thing between husband and wife is love!"

"Alright, I'm leaving. You should reflect on your actions... No need to see me off. Okay, you guys can continue with your work."

After venting his frustrations, Herbert strode away, feeling refreshed, and returned the private space to the loving couple.

"Wang-"

Hearing the dog barking behind him, Herbert's lips curled into a smile. He paused, turned around, and asked, "Are you sure you really don't want me to leave?"

"Woo..."

Herbert walked away contentedly amidst the weak, no longer hysterical barking of the dogs.

"Are you even human? You wouldn't even spare a dog!"

Even Miss Harmony, who witnessed Herbert's abstract operations firsthand, couldn't stand it anymore.

Even this evil god felt a little sorry for that poor male hunting dog; it really didn't deserve such a sin!
"Hiss...no, are you a dog?"

"Of course I'm not a dog, they are."

"Aren't you afraid it will hate you for doing this?"

"hehe."

Herbert smiled easily, not feeling at all that he had gone too far in doing so.

I clearly gave its wife benefits and taught it how to be a dog. It should be grateful to me, so why does it hate me?
If it really hates me... then the local gangs are really rude!

The little pleasant incident did not affect Herbert's mood; he strolled leisurely through the woods, interacting with his surroundings.

As he walked, he raised his hand, his slender fingertips brushing against the tree trunk and gently touching the flowers, but he did not pluck any of them.

His figure didn't resemble a lost intruder at all, but rather a noble young man on an outing.

As Herbert strolled along, his previously restless thoughts gradually calmed down, even more completely than before.

He seemed to have blended into the forest, becoming a part of it.

Herbert no longer needs Nenasa's help to understand the languages ​​of animals and to sense the thoughts of plants.

He is like a tree, a flower, a blade of grass, blending into them, becoming their companion and friend.

Listening to the chattering whispers, he suddenly realized that this seemingly peaceful forest was actually more vibrant than he had imagined.

Suddenly, he heard a long exhale.

"call--"

That was the breath of the entire forest.

Is this nature?

"Ok?"

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Herbert suddenly snapped out of that peculiar feeling and blinked in confusion.

"What does this feel like?"

That mysterious feeling reminded him of the legendary "unity of man and nature," but it didn't seem so mysterious.

"The Heart of Nature."

The older woman (who identified herself) offered to explain, exclaiming with some surprise, "Herbert, you always surprise me. I never imagined you had such talent."

"Do you know how many druids never reach this level of ability in their entire lives? And you, you just had a walk and suddenly you understood!"

"It seems your talents are more suited to being a druid than a paladin. Oh right, your hobby is definitely the kind that involves dealing with plants and animals..."

Upon hearing Nenasha's sudden realization, Herbert immediately retorted without a second thought.

"Nonsense, how could I be that kind of person?!"

I'm suing you for defamation!

Don't talk nonsense!
What do you mean by me attacking plants and animals?

In all honesty and justice, I have never laid a hand on any plants!

【"Um?"】

Nena was shocked by Herbert's lack of awareness and asked in surprise, "Don't you think so? But you've attacked so many monsters..."

"That's different!"

Herbert righteously severed ties with those dangerous druids, firmly denying, "I don't like every kind of animal!"

"I do like Valentina and the others' souls, it just so happens that they are monsters. It's definitely not because they are monsters that I like them! Please don't get cause and effect backwards!"

"Oh, I see... Heh, I understand now."

Nena gave a meaningful "oh," then stopped teasing and pulling, letting Herbert deceive himself.

However, this was not because He suddenly took pity on Herbert, but because someone came to Herbert.

"Herbert, you're too slow! How come you've taken so long?"

The long-awaited Ice Goddess leaped down from the treetop, landed on Herbert's shoulder, and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"I went to great lengths to bring you into the Forest of Enlightenment so you could experience nature, not just take a stroll!"

Upon hearing this, Herbert knew that his teleportation failure was not an accident, but rather a deliberate act by the Ice Goddess.

Although I don't know what special use the Forest of Enlightenment has, I can guess that this opportunity is not ordinary.

I'm afraid I was able to comprehend the top-tier Druid ability, "Heart of Nature," thanks to the kitten.

"Then I must thank you for taking care of me, madam." Herbert gratefully stroked the snow kitten's tail.

Good cat, good cat!

"Humph~"

The Ice Goddess wasn't really angry. After being petted a couple of times, she cheered up and asked, "So, what did you realize?"

"Speaking of which, rather than experiencing it, I've helped others achieve enlightenment, the kind that brings complete understanding."

Herbert thought of the hound he had provoked and remarked, "It should have been able to figure something out afterward."

?

What are you talking about?
The Ice and Snow Goddess blinked blankly, realizing she hadn't understood, but not wanting to reveal this, she coughed twice to change the subject:

"...Ahem! Alright, enough talk, let's hurry over there, we can't keep the lady waiting too long."

It grumbled as it adjusted its posture, lying down comfortably, its fluffy tail rubbing against Herbert's chin.

Herbert suspected that He was skirting the line, deliberately provoking him.

But lacking sufficient evidence, he could only endure the humiliation of the kitten riding on his neck, bearing the burden and moving forward under its guidance.

However, after a short while, Herbert did not leave the forest, but instead came to a clearing meadow in the woods.

In the center of the flowers and plants... Herbert saw the gods.

The elegant goddess stood quietly in the woods with her eyes closed, seemingly having waited there for an unknown amount of time.

Seemingly noticing their arrival, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the intruders.

The moment the Forest Goddess looked over, the kitten that had been lording it over Herbert's neck just a second ago immediately jumped down, transformed into a young girl, and respectfully bowed its head in greeting.

"Madam, I've brought him."

After saying that, He suddenly noticed that Herbert was standing there dumbfounded. His vertical pupils contracted sharply, and He hurriedly reminded him.

"Herbert, what are you waiting for? Bow now!"

You're usually pretty smart, how come you've suddenly become stupid?

This is disrespectful to Ms. Mori!

Should we bow?

Herbert tilted his head, winked at the snow kitten, and suddenly asked curiously, "Hecaias, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Meow?"

Seeing that He truly did not understand, Herbert explained softly:
“I respect the great Lord of the Forest, and His beloved mercy, but I am neither His believer nor a follower of nature, and He has no right to command me.”

"The reason I am here today is simply because I have come to meet the Goddess of the Forest at her friendly invitation."

"So, it is He who needs my help, not the other way around."

Herbert's smile was gentle, but the words he uttered were quite disrespectful.

他 说:

"If someone has to bow first, I don't think it should be me."

! ! ?

The Ice and Snow Goddess became completely serious, her beautiful hair all standing on end, like it had been poked and bristled.

“Herbert, you…”

But just as the snow kitten was anxiously trying to stop Herbert from talking nonsense, Freya, who was smiling, took the initiative to stop him.

"Hercaias".

Fulingya shook her head at Him, then looked at the boy whose smile remained unchanged, and whispered:
"Young godslayer, the Sanctuary of Nature welcomes you."

Then, to the astonishment of the panicked kitten, the Goddess of the Forest nodded slightly to Herbert.

He said:

"Freya, the goddess of the forest, pays her respects."
