Chapter 144 Bishop Leila (25)
On the outskirts of the slums, Herbert saw a temple whose decoration was not very magnificent, a three-story building made entirely of ice and snow.

Compared to the gods of other pantheons, who like to build dazzling temples with marble and gold, the temple of the Ice and Snow Goddess has the style of the natural pantheon and appears quite simple.

But in fact, if you look closely, you can discover the truth - simple but not simplistic.

The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess is not poor.

As explorers in the winter ice and snow, their believers can discover many rare and hard-to-find ingredients and materials, which can be easily sold at high prices in many places.

In addition, there are not many believers, so there is no need to spend a lot of money on alms.

The main walls of the temple are made of thick, opaque blue ice, which is cut from the purest lake water and transported from hundreds of miles away.

The ice blocks are joined together seamlessly, forming a seamless whole. There are also some naturally formed lines on the ice wall, which look like traces carved by the wind, or like mysterious runes left by the goddess of ice and snow.

The dome was covered with a thin layer of snow, like white satin sliding down, with a few icicles sticking out from the smooth tip.

The church's holy emblem is a petite woman made entirely of ice and snow, with a cedar tree standing behind her.

Herbert turned his eyes away from the woman on the holy emblem and took a closer look at the cedar tree - one of the incarnations of the God of Winter.

The meaning of this holy symbol is simple, indicating His image, the camp He belongs to, and His nominal patron.

Herbert bowed slightly to the holy emblem and walked into the temple with another young priestess - the one who had spoken earlier ran away with a red face after realizing that she had said something wrong, and could not be stopped even by shouting.

The young priest stopped after entering the temple, turned around and gently lifted the hem of her skirt to Herbert, and saluted, "Your Excellency the White Dove, please wait here. I will inform the bishop of your purpose."

"Okay, thanks for your help."

Herbert nodded and smiled, then turned his head and signaled with his eyes to Valentina, who wanted to touch around, not to cause trouble, and shook his head slightly at her.

Don’t touch it if you don’t want to buy it!

"Humph!"

Miss Hungry Dragon, who was caught red-handed, rolled her eyes at him, pouted, and moved her hand away from the ice sculpture of the mini ice dragon - if she had been a step later, she would have broken it off and eaten it as a popsicle.

"..."

Sister Kaplan watched the two's silent interaction and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Although there was no substantial evidence, she felt that the relationship between the two people... seemed to have become much closer during the half month of disappearance.

There is really no evidence, but it’s just a subtle feeling - a woman’s feeling!

Sister Kaplan didn't know that although Valentina's back looked fine, she was smiling charmingly at Herbert and licking her red lips with her tongue.

She is full now.

But she was also hungry.

During the ten days when Herbert did not return to Frost Crystal City, everyone thought he was making plans in secret, lurking in the shadows like a poisonous snake.

But only he himself knows how much hard work, effort and energy he put in during that time!

I spend the whole day thinking hard and discussing the scriptures, just to... make sure that the final plan is flawless.

This has one advantage. His physical body has been significantly improved under the high-pressure training, and he has become more proficient in the use of various techniques.

But there is also a disadvantage, which is that Miss Hungry Dragon, who already likes to be close to him, will become completely attached to him after getting a taste of it.

Whenever I have time, I'll stick glue everywhere, making it full of... saliva.

It is normal for people to like to suck cats, and it is normal for dragons to like to suck people, and it is normal for dragons to leave some saliva when sucking people. It makes sense!
Herbert's brows twitched as he watched Valentina becoming more and more presumptuous. He forced himself to keep a poker face and managed not to let his hesitation be exposed in the eyes of Sister Kaplan.

I’ll suppress this guy later!

This torturous wait did not last long. After a moment, the young priest returned to the hall and nodded at Herbert.

"Mr. White Dove, please follow me with the two Excellencies."

Passing through the hall gushing with a holy water fountain, the three followed the priest to the prayer room at the back of the Ice and Snow Temple.

Below the gigantic statue of the goddess of ice and snow, a figure kneeled respectfully. A ray of sunlight from the skylight above her head shone on her, making her beautiful figure look particularly holy.

She has long ice-blue hair like frost and snow. Even when she is kneeling, her graceful figure can be seen. The thin clothes are tightly attached to her slender body, outlining a beautiful curve.

The material of the robe was extremely thin and light, as if it was woven from silk threads of ice and snow, revealing a large area of ​​skin on the fair back.

If the young priestess was just like an elf girl walking out of ice and snow, then the bishop in front of him was a real elf.

Yeah, it really is.

Herbert's eyes swept over the other person's pointed ears and confirmed the other person's identity - this was a snow elf.

"Your Mightiness."

After hearing the call from behind, Bishop Ice and Snow slowly stood up and looked at the three people behind him. His gaze stayed on Herbert's face in the front for a moment, and soon fell on Valentina.

"This person should be His Excellency [Scarlet Wing], right?"

Valentina: ?
She blinked, not knowing why the other party suddenly spoke to her.

What?

That’s right, [Scarlet Wings] is not actually the name for Herbert, the pastor girl just thought of it for a moment.

That was the title given by everyone to Valentina, or more precisely to the terrifying dragon that appeared in Frost Crystal City that day.

After nearly a month of fermentation, the legend of Valentina has gradually moved in a very strange direction among civilians, and the content has become more and more exaggerated.

Some even said that the scarlet dragon wings could cover the entire kingdom!

Compared to the arrival of the white dove, the bishop of the Ice and Snow Goddess was actually more interested in the Scarlet Wings.

Seeing that Valentina ignored him, the bishop did not get discouraged. Instead, he smiled and looked at Herbert again, nodded to him and said, "Ice and Snow Goddess Church, Bishop, Leila."

"Mr. White Dove, I have always wanted to meet you."

Hey, woman.

What are you talking about wanting to meet someone? You were clearly just looking at my hungry dragon!

"Sir Leila, haha, I have always wanted to meet you."

Herbert smiled and nodded, and gave a brief introduction to the three people in a very polite manner.

After a brief greeting, Bishop Leila asked without further ado:
"I wonder why the three of you came to see me today? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We're here to help you."

Herbert smiled confidently and said softly:
"We came here this time to reach a cooperation with you."
