Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 229 Peepers (4K)
"He is blessed by the gods!?"

"Yes."

Herbert looked at Steven with a raised brow, and chuckled, "I thought you had already discovered it. After all, his features are so obvious."

"Besides, let's not talk about anything else. Don't forget where this is."

"Without the blessing and guidance of the gods, a guy like him would never have been able to get here safely."

Although Herbert's statement of being safe and sound is questionable, Steven has indeed survived and has not died suddenly until now.

"You can try again. Don't just use your eyes to see, but use your heart to feel it. Maybe you can feel the fluctuations in him."

obvious?

Ok……

Sophia frowned and stared at Steven for a long time.

She looked at Steven so hard that his back went cold and the back of his head ached. Not knowing what had happened, he reluctantly looked away.

He bowed his head deeply in front of Herbert and said dejectedly: "My Lord, I am too stupid and didn't find anything."

In Sophia's eyes, the other party was indeed a person with no special features worthy of praise. He was just an ordinary mortal.

Not worthy of attention.

Especially it is not worthy for the master he serves to pay too much attention to him.

However, in Herbert's view, it was a different situation.

Steven is special.

In fact, his soul has always radiated a special brilliance - in a bad sense.

His soul showed obvious signs of erosion, but was then gouged out and replaced by another soul.

Steven now seems normal, but he is actually more like a patchwork of souls. It is a miracle of life that he can live healthily.

It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve such a high level of spiritual attainment.

And this means one thing - Steven was once transformed by a being from the divine realm.

Moreover, that existence is still watching him until now, treating him as its eyes.

He is watching here.

A lucky person who survives by chance may not be of much value.

But the value of a guy who has been watched and favored by the gods is very different.

As for the fact that Steven was "being spied on and thus exposing Elda", Herbert didn't really care.

My action was not small and was bound to be noticed by the being in the fog.

In other words, as long as I want to liberate the Misty Mountains, there will inevitably be a day when I will have to confront them.

Exposure is a matter of time, it’s just a matter of earlier or later.

At least from the surface, the other party's attitude is not kind, but it is definitely not malicious either.

In addition, the existence in the dark has a somewhat subtle attitude.

Herbert had not forgotten the prying eyes he had noticed earlier.

He is nearby.

In other words, His "eyes" are nearby, secretly watching every move of the Eldar territory.

Although he did not interfere with the development of the farmland on his side, he did not provide any help either. He just watched with the cold eyes of an outsider.

What is He waiting for?
Want to confirm something?

In addition, Nenasha had no way of confirming the identity of the peeper.

[“There are indeed several subordinate gods in my kingdom of God, but they either died in that battle or chose to escape at the last moment. No one should take the initiative to return here.”]

The identity of the peeper is unknown and his strength has not been revealed. The only thing that is certain is that he is in the realm of gods.

However, since the other party's attitude was uncertain, Herbert did not take the initiative to drive Steven away. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and kept him as his first subject.

In Herbert's opinion, it was not a bad thing that Steven was used as eyes by that being.

As long as it is used in reverse, it can also be used as a reminder device.

As He looked upon Elda, He was also looked upon by Herbert.

It's mutual.

Herbert considered himself to be very patient, and he wanted to see how long the other party could endure before showing up on his own initiative.

"Lord, Lord!"

"Ok?"

After a simple cleansing, Steven returned to Herbert, mustered up his courage, and said with difficulty: "Can I...can I choose to leave?"

Oh?
"What did you say?"

Before Herbert could speak, Sophia took the lead, pointed her spear at the rude mortal, and said angrily: "You ungrateful fellow! You actually want to reject the kindness of our Lord!?"

"Uh!"

Steven was startled and took a step back, but still said reluctantly: “I, I’m not, I just want to go home.”

"Sophia, don't be rude. Put the gun down and don't do this again next time."

Herbert waited for a while, intentionally or unintentionally, before lightly "criticizing" the impulsive Sophia.

After "reprimanding" the Heroic Spirit, he turned to look at the uneasy Steven and asked gently, "You mean, you want to leave here?"

Seeing that Herbert was not angry, Steven relaxed his tense spirit and whispered, "Yes, sir."

"That's it..."

Herbert nodded, but didn't say whether he agreed or not. He asked curiously, "Can I ask why? You don't like it here? Do you think there is something wrong with it?"

The bad part?
Steven, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and looked around blankly. Looking at the empty and clean land, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

This question should be asked, what is good about this place?

"You think this place is not built?"

Herbert also understood his look, shook his head and smiled:

"This is not a place you need to worry about. Someone will come here soon and it will become a different place soon."

Steven blinked, wanting to speak the truth in his heart.

No matter how well you build this place, it has nothing to do with me...but this obviously cannot be said.

Finally, Steven bowed his head deeply and pleaded:
"...My Lord, I beg you to let me go. I just want to go home. My daughter is waiting for me to return."

He begged humbly, hoping that the other party would be merciful and let him go.

Then, Steven heard the boy's calm words.

"You can leave."

!!!

"Sir!" Steven raised his head excitedly. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.

"But let's make it clear, once you choose to leave, you can never come back."

Herbert looked at Steven, whose eyes widened, calmly and said softly, “Besides, I won’t provide you with any help.”

"If you want to leave, then leave on your own."

Leave on your own?

The excitement on Steven's face froze.

He turned his head and looked towards the mist outside the Eldar territory.

The deep fog that swallowed everything was like a nightmare that he would never forget.

“I…” “Okay, think about what you want to do.”

Steven wanted to say something with a dry voice, but was interrupted coldly by Herbert.

The opportunity is given to you.

Life or death, it's your choice.

Respect the fate of others.

But Herbert did not act heartless. He said sympathetically: "But before you make up your mind, you should take a good rest here."

"Even if you want to leave, you have to heal your injuries first, right?"

"Alas! It's all my fault that I am kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see you die miserably in this fog."

Herbert sighed, moved by his own compassion—but Nenasha despised him in her heart.

Steven looked at Herbert with mixed emotions, not knowing how to thank this adult.

Not only did he not stop me, but he also provided me with help.

What a kind person!
Steven became even more humble and asked gratefully, "Lord, can you heal my wound?"

"I can't, but there are people who are good at this."

Herbert thought about the priest group that the Ice and Snow Goddess mentioned before, and smiled: "Calculating the time, those people are already on the way, and should be here soon."

Frost Crystal King City, Temple of the Ice and Snow Goddess.

This is the extension of the Ice and Snow Goddess' power in the mortal world, and can be considered a part of the kingdom of God. Naturally, besides providing a place for believers to pray, it also has some uses that outsiders are not aware of.

Under the Ice and Snow Temple, a secret place made entirely of ice was built.

At this moment, a dazzling light lit up in the underground secret place, and a huge magic circle slowly emerged.

hum-

Along with a slight hum, the formation emitted a faint blue light, and the space above it distorted slightly.

After a while, a team of ten hooded men slowly walked out of the teleportation array.

They all wore blue and white priest robes with delicate ice and snow runes embroidered on the hems, gleaming in the reflection of the ice and snow in the temple.

Nine of them looked like young girls, with pretty faces, graceful figures, and eyes that showed purity and piety, as if they were exquisite dolls that had not been polished by the world.

In front of the nine girls was a royal lady who looked to be in her early thirties. Her priest robe was trimmed to fit her more closely, highlighting her graceful figure.

She has a mature and charming smile, and her eyes sparkle with confidence and calmness, which is the composure that comes from having experienced many things.

Before the leader spoke, the Snow Elf Bishop Leila, who had been waiting here for a long time, called out excitedly:
"Joanna."

Bishop Leila looked at the leader of the group, whose eyes were shining with joy, and took a few steps forward and hugged her tightly.

"It's been so long since we last met, and you come to see me again so soon!"

Joanna, who was being hugged, gently hugged back, shook her head, and said helplessly: "Leila, what are you talking about? We haven't seen each other for more than 40 years."

"It wasn't long then?"

"Short? Sigh, you elves have a really bad sense of time..."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you also a half-elf?"

"We are not as confused about time as you are... hehe." At the end of her complaints, Joanna laughed helplessly.

After the two separated, Joanna bowed to Leila and said respectfully, "Bishop Leila, thank you for your help."

Leila nodded in response, then turned to the other young priestesses and said with a smile:

"Well, you are all sisters of the church. You don't need to thank me. The temple has arranged food and shelter. Please follow me."

After Leila gave her orders, the temple guards who had been waiting came forward to lead the way, and only two people were left in the underground secret place.

After everyone else left, Joanna was visibly more relaxed and took the wine glass Leila handed her.

Ding.

The two of them clinked their glasses gently and drank the fruit wine made from ice raspberries.

The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess does not prohibit alcohol.

On the contrary, He encouraged believers to collect ingredients from the winter snow and brew the most delicious fruit wine to offer to Him.

"what……"

Leila let out a long sigh, looked at her half-elf friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

The Snow Elf Bishop only accepted the task from the church to open the teleportation array to welcome this group of priests, and she did not know what they were going to do specifically.

We have suddenly come to this remote place, the Frost Crystal Kingdom. What action will the church take?

Do you think I didn’t do well before?

But in response to this question, Joanna shook her head and smiled apologetically:
"I'm sorry, we are on a secret mission. I can only tell you that it has nothing to do with Frost Crystal, but I can't reveal the specific information to you."

Leila also realized that her question was somewhat offensive and understood her friend's dilemma: "Is that so... That's such a pity."

Just as she was about to change the subject to talk about her experiences over the years, especially her recent "great achievements", a nightingale-like voice sounded in her ears.

"Why not? We are going to the Misty Mountains."

! ! ?

Leila was stunned for a moment, then looked aside suddenly and found that a young girl had appeared in the secret place at some point.

No, that's not right.

It was that the young priestess just now did not leave with the guards at all.

"How did you...uh."

Leila was about to ask why the other party stayed to eavesdrop on their conversation, but suddenly realized something, changed her attitude, and asked tentatively:

"you are?"

Before the girl could speak, Joanna coughed lightly and took the initiative to answer for her:

"Laila, I forgot to introduce you just now. This is the new one blessed by the goddess, Lady Yuniel."

He is indeed a person favored by God!
The status of those favored by God in the system of the God's Church is very transcendent. Even if they are weak, they have an extraordinary status because they are favored by the gods.

"Ms. Yuniel..."

Leila wanted to salute the other party, but was stopped by the girl with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a question."

"I heard that you met a white-haired boy not long ago? And you got some help from him?"

Leila was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "...That's true. Is there any problem with that? I have already reported the specific matters to the church."

She was a little confused and didn't know what the other party meant.

Did the church think that she was not doing well and wanted to investigate her?

"Oh, it's nothing, don't be nervous, I just want to ask what you think of him."

Yuniel waved her hand, smiled, and asked slowly, "I just want to ask what you think of him. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"You can express whatever you want, feel free to do so."

What do you think of Herbert?
Leila blinked, tilted her head to glance at Joanna, and received an affirmative nod.

There was no other meaning, that was really all she was asking.

"..."

She frowned and thought, then quickly came to a conclusion.

Leila recalled the embarrassing situation when she was frightened by the saint and even forced to let the goddess come in person, and gritted her teeth and said:
"In my opinion, he... is just a guy who relies on the strong to show off his power."

"A weak, but arrogant human!"
