Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 211: Placement play? (5K plus 45 46)
After receiving the comment "Damn it!" from Miss Mermaid, Herbert was not angry but secretly delighted.

"After seeing this with your own eyes, you just said that I deserved to die...Fleming, you are too kind-hearted."

Sister, you scold me like you're acting like a spoiled child~
Herbert initially rejected Sophia for two reasons.

For one thing, as Herbert said, he didn't need anyone's loyalty.

Even if the true identity of this loyalty was Nenasha, there was no difference between the two of them now, and he didn't need it.

Although this somewhat awkward action made Nenasha complain in her heart, Herbert was still determined to die.

Loyalty that is not absolute is equal to absolute disloyalty.

Herbert did not need a loyalty mixed with other emotions.

What is mine is mine. I don’t need you to give it to me, and no one can take it away from me.

It's not mine, even if I get it, I will lose it one day.

The other reason is not so noble.

Herbert was doubtful.

It's not that I doubt Sophia, her current state has indeed been reset.

It's not that he doubts Nenasha. He doesn't think She is deceiving him. He still has some trust in Her.

Herbert was doubting the whole Misty Mountains.

After meeting Sophia today, Herbert became more wary of the Misty Mountains.

Nenasha had been completely unaware of her existence before.

This is indeed the remains of His kingdom of God, but He has been away for too long and has long lost control.

He no longer has any perception of the heroic spirits who originally obeyed him... This is a very dangerous signal.

Miss Harmony's control over this place might be even less than she thought.

And there are definitely more heroes like Sophia.

There will be more creatures of the Kingdom of God, more heroic spirits, holy spirits, and even angels...

As a brave and warlike Centaur hero, Sophia's strength should not be underestimated.

A legendary Mist Ghost Wolf, even with the addition of these wolves, even with restrained attributes, can it really force Sophia to the current level?

He had a slight doubt about this.

And if the truth is really as he thought... in this mountain range, at this moment, are there other prying eyes?
Is there anyone watching me?

If I admitted from the beginning that I was related to Nenasha, and even said that I was her messenger...how would the other heroic spirits react?

After so many years of freedom, would they still be willing to become followers of Nenasha?

Will you bow down after you reveal your identity?
Herbert didn't think so.

People's hearts will change.

A long time is enough to change so much.

A hundred years is enough to change the world, turn the vast ocean into mulberry fields, and change the color of the world.

What's more, these heroes have existed in the world for far more than a hundred years.

So Herbert chose to take a detour and deliberately take a longer route.

I am definitely not the master you imagined. All I did was just couldn't bear to see you disappear like this, so I reluctantly accepted your loyalty.

This action may seem like taking off pants to fart.

But at least it can make those who are observing secretly hesitate and give him some time to develop.

And for him now, every bit of time is very precious.

Maybe you are fighting a battle of wits and courage with the air, but it is always right to be more cautious.

After venting for a long time, Sophia finally calmed down, let go of Herbert a little embarrassedly, lowered her head and said:
"My Lord, please forgive me for my offense."

Perhaps it was a remnant of instinct, she did not call Herbert "Master", but used the tone she used to serve God in the past.

"It's nothing, don't be nervous."

Herbert did not bother to correct her - after all, there was a real god hidden in his body.

Just after Sophia let go of Herbert, before he could even stand firmly, Freme hugged him in her arms.

She floated in midair, letting her weight rest on Herbert's head and wrapping her tail around his waist.

Herbert: What's that? Blushing?

After doing all this, Fremehai looked at Sophia demonstratively and smiled triumphantly.

As a result, Sophia bowed her head respectfully.

"Lady Freme."

Such an honest reaction made Freme feel that her actions were somewhat embarrassing, as if she was a small animal competing with her owner for favor...

"...Ahem!"

She coughed, pretended nothing had happened and let go of her hand, wanting to let go of Herbert just like that - but she couldn't bear to do it.

She floated down from Herbert, then lay on his back and put her arms around his neck from behind.

I also sniffed it secretly out of habit.

Herbert did not stop Freme and let her do whatever she wanted.

Anyway, she was not heavy to begin with, and now with the floating magic, she was almost as if she was nothing.

Well, just think of it as carrying a salted fish.

Herbert observed Sophia. Her injuries were still recovering slowly. At this rate, it would take some time for her to reach her peak condition.

Anyway, with Freme here, he doesn't lack bodyguards.

Now that this unexpected surprise has been preliminarily resolved, the only thing left is the other original goal.

Herbert looked at the completely frozen lake and couldn't help but be amazed.

"hiss……"

Miss Freme, did you eat the Ice-Ice Fruit?
What a big battle!

Finally, feeling the amazement in Herbert's heart, the mermaid lady on his back smiled triumphantly.

"Hum~"

The expression of the other person present seemed a little strange. Sophia frowned slightly as she looked at the frozen lake.

Herbert saw her look and asked, "Do you remember anything? Do you know it?"

"…No, I don't recognize it now."

Sophia thought hard for a moment, but finally said with regret: "But I feel like I should have known it before?"

"Do you have any impression of it? Feelings are also fine."

The Centaur Heroic Spirit touched his chin and said uncertainly: "I feel it is... very friendly?"

"Although I feel a little annoyed with it, I don't hate it. I just find it troublesome... Deep down, I feel more dependent on it, as if it once gave me a warm feeling."

She tried her best to organize her words to describe the special feeling in her heart.

Although it seemed to have helped him a lot, it was still a little annoying sometimes, and the relationship between the two did not seem to be very good on the surface.

But even so, deep down in my heart, I still rely on it.

"From your description, it sounds like a problem between mother and daughter."

Herbert sighed with a smile, intending it only as a joke, but he didn't expect Sophia's expression to change.

“It seems to be really like this…”

Ok?
"Really?"

Herbert was stunned for a moment, looking at Sophia's tall and agile figure, and recalled the childish cry of pain he heard from the Holy Grail before.

...It can’t be a loli mother, right?
Ok?
No, that's not right.

The Holy Grail should be in the form of an octopus right now...right?
Until now, he has never really seen the complete form of the Holy Grail, and has only seen a few tentacles.

Does it really look like a giant octopus at this moment?
Octopuses can’t scream!
Herbert was thinking about this, and his expression suddenly froze.

He frowned as he looked at the lake, then shook his head with some regret and said softly, "Flemme, remove the spell."

Freme: Hmm?
Miss Mermaid blinked, not knowing why Herbert suddenly said this: "Huh? It hasn't returned to normal yet. Let it go now, but you need to suppress it again."

I had used heavy hands the first time I suppressed the water elemental spirit; there was no other way.

She is kind-hearted.

I don't want to beat the water elemental spirit a second time. That's really... a bit too inhumane.

"No, it's not necessary anymore."

Herbert waved his hand and said, "Listen to me and untie it."

Since Herbert insisted on doing so, Freme finally did not insist.

Anyway, she has already figured out the strength of the water elemental spirit and can easily suppress it.

"All right……"

But when Freme took the initiative to untie the Glacier of Sorrow, her expression was stunned for a moment and she let out a light exclamation.

"Eh? What's going on... Why is it gone?"

Herbert's reaction to her was very calm. He shook his head and said, "Don't look for it. It's gone."

I was so busy trying to capture Sophia that I didn't notice it. When I tried to feel it again, I found that the Holy Grail was no longer there. It had slipped away.

Herbert was not surprised by this at the same time. After all, the Holy Grail was not the real spirit of the water element but a creation of the gods.

"This……"

Herbert didn't care about it, but some people did care very much.

!!!

After Freme realized that the other party had deceived her and escaped, her whole body turned red.

"It actually dares to run!?"

I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to hurt you. I don't know how much effort I have put in to help you suppress it.

And you just ran away without knowing what's good for you?

run!
Where can you run to!?

Don't let me find you again!
The mermaid princess was extremely angry and snorted angrily.

"Humph!!!"

The Holy Grail simply didn't know Freme's character, otherwise it might have thought more before running away... and run further away!
"Don't be angry, we will have another chance to encounter it in the future, hehe."

Herbert calmed the furious Freme and said softly, "However, it is quite timid. I'm afraid we scared it this time."

I encountered it twice in a row and scared it away both times... I wonder if this novice and playful guy will come to me again.

I guess so.

However, this third time, Herbert would not give it a chance to escape.

"Be good, don't be angry."

To be honest, after getting used to the terrifying pressure from Valentina’s rage, Herbert now felt that Freme’s angry look was just like a spoiled child…

"By the way, it still left something behind in order to deceive you."

How easy is it to escape silently?
In order to escape the Glacier of Sorrow, the Holy Grail deliberately left some breath to get away with it.

Just as Herbert finished saying this, a huge golden bubble floated up from the bottom of the lake.

The bubbles were filled with a wine-like liquid. Although it came into contact with the water, it did not mix with it and bounced gently on the surface of the lake.

"what is that?"

"The wine of oblivion, the favorite drink of heroes." Herbert signaled Freme to pull the bubbles of the wine over.

"Wine of Oblivion? That's... Oh! Wait, how come this thing is here?"

Freme was educated, so it was quite surprising that she remembered what the Wine of Oblivion was after a little thought.

Why would the fine wine from the Kingdom of God appear in such a mountain range?

Thinking of this, she recalled many things.

Yes, I forgot to ask just now, why does a Centaur appear here?

"Wait, where exactly is this place!?"

Seeing that she realized it late, Herbert smiled meaningfully and said, "Why are you asking here? There are many names here. Which one do you want to hear?"

"The Misty Mountains are a forbidden area for gods... and also the remains of a fallen god's kingdom."

!!!

After finally realizing where she was, Freme's whole body shook.

She is not the ignorant and foolish Valentina. She knows clearly what the word "Misty Mountains" means.

She only knew that she was imprisoned in a monastery, but she didn't know the exact location, and she had never asked other warden.

And now, she suddenly realized where she was.

Misty Mountains outside Misty Abbey.

I also understood what I was doing when I rushed around here with Herbert... Were we so brave?

"Wait! Herbert, you said before...you want to build your own power here?"

Herbert's smile grew wider and he nodded, "Yes, any questions?"

Freyme nodded vigorously: "Yes, and it's very big!"

Herbert laughed and gently held her hand and squeezed it: "Don't worry, believe me, there will be no problem here."

“This is the most dangerous place, but also the safest place.”

"Although the Divine Forbidden Zone is dangerous, it also means that the gods cannot spy on this place."

"As for the threats outside of the gods...don't worry, I have a way to deal with them all."

After hearing Herbert's confident assurance, although Freme was still a little hesitant, she finally chose to believe it.

In short, believe first.

The hero I choose shouldn’t be that crazy...right?

"Well, let me put away those wines of oblivion."

Herbert poured out the water from the water bag, and then poured the wine of oblivion into it little by little.

Although the Wine of Oblivion has a strong side effect that can make people forget the past, as a legendary potion, its healing effect is also amazing...

The most crucial point is that it also works on creatures other than heroic spirits!

The effect of forgetting the past is halved, and the healing effect is also halved, but it can still save lives at critical moments.

Although Herbert himself did not need such a therapeutic potion, he could not guarantee that others would need it.

[“Don’t worry about the side effects. I have a way to make it only have the therapeutic effect.”]

"That's even better."

Nenasha's assurance made Herbert feel relieved and his confidence became stronger.

[“By the way, you can let the pony drink some first. Her injuries will recover soon.”]

"Hmm? Is it okay to just drink it? Won't it make her forget what happened before?"

I finally finished the guide, please don't make me start over again!

[“Don’t worry about that. A Heroic Spirit of her level needs to drink a lot of wine of oblivion in order to forget the past.”]

This is quite reasonable.

If the Wine of Oblivion is really that effective, it can be used as a means to deal with heroic spirits.

As long as the wine is spilled on the heroic spirit during the battle, the opponent will completely shut down and become a blank sheet of paper - this is obviously unrealistic.

[“Not to mention, her memory has just been reset, and now the wine of oblivion is just a delicious drink for her.”]

After getting the assurance, Herbert handed the water bag filled with wine to Sophia and said, "Drink it. It will be good for your current injury."

"But I feel like after drinking it... I'll forget a lot of things."

Although Sophia has been reset at this moment, her state has not completely returned to that of a baby. She still remembers a lot of knowledge, but she just can't remember it all at once.

"As long as your loyalty to me is strong enough, you will never forget."

Herbert smiled and put the water bag into her hand: "Come on, prove your loyalty to me."

"……I see."

Sophia was silent for a moment, then nodded with a firm look, took the water bag with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "I will prove my loyalty to you!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head.

Tons, tons, tons!
"Very good, Sophia, you've proven to me that your... Hey, hey, hey, don't drink it all!"

Herbert managed to snatch the wineskin back from the drunk Sophia.

Really.

What a greedy little cat!
Click. Click.

The regular sound of horse hooves could be heard in the fog. It was hard to imagine that someone would gallop in such an environment.

And if they could see the scene on horseback, they would probably be even more surprised.

The white-haired boy was sitting on the back of a female centaur, with a mermaid on her back... It can only be said to be a very strange combination.

"How much longer?"

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon... huh?"

As Herbert was speaking, his expression suddenly froze, and he patted Sophia on the shoulder to make her stop.

"My Lord? What is the matter?"

Freyme, who was sitting behind him, also leaned out and asked in confusion: "Herbert, what's wrong? Did you take the wrong road?"

"Yes, the road is correct, but... something seems to be wrong."

Herbert looked at the scorched earth in front of him and the extra buildings on the ground, and blinked continuously.

Eh!
I really just said that casually before, and you actually grew something on your own! ?

"Strange……"

He looked at the strange figure who was constantly worshipping the wooden stake, and couldn't help but think:
"How can this land grow buildings and produce new humans?"

"Am I playing some idle web game?"

"No, I didn't charge any money..."
