Evil God? My servants are players!

"Really?! That's wonderful! I'll tell everyone the good news right away!"

Then, Veronica turned around to tell the others the good news, but she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh no, I forgot how badly I was injured," Veronica thought to herself, clutching her wound.

"No, we have to stand up. We can't let the townspeople see us like this, or the momentum we've just built up will vanish again."

"And we absolutely cannot let those goblins see us in this weak state. What if they get any bad ideas? Goblins are the epitome of cunning and treachery!"

It seems Veronica knows those goblins very well.

However, the hyacinth, which was very close by, immediately noticed Veronica's injuries.

After all, the clothes Veronica used to cover her wounds were soft, and a slight sway of her torso would reveal obvious dents.

Therefore, the hyacinth behind Veronica released a spell to heal her.

Veronica was caught off guard by the hyacinth's sudden healing and let out a strange cry:

"Ah~"

The itching, the swelling of flesh, the fullness of an empty abdomen—these sensations combined, coupled with the suddenness of the feeling, made our Paladin unable to hold back.

Fortunately, only Hyacinth and Veronica were present, and no one heard Veronica's strange cries.

However, Veronica still glared at the hyacinth, her face flushed, perhaps thinking that the hyacinth had done it on purpose.

Hyacinth was completely baffled by Veronica's strange expression.

However, Veronica was surprised to find that the hyacinth's treatment was exceptionally effective, and the cavity in her abdomen had been largely filled.

It's estimated that Veronica's injuries will be fully healed in no time.

However, Veronica no longer had the face to ask Hyacinth for treatment, after all, she had just glared at Hyacinth in a fit of embarrassment and anger.

Once Veronica calmed down, she realized that Hyacinth was simply acting out of kindness.

Veronica felt even more ashamed, but thinking of the townspeople still suffering on the surface, she had no choice but to bow her head and ask the hyacinth for help.

"Lady Hyacinth, will you be able to treat me again later?"

"Of course," Hyacinth nodded in reply.

At that moment, the hyacinths seemed like angels descended from heaven to Veronica.

After sincerely thanking them, Veronica returned to the townspeople.

Having recovered considerably, Veronica no longer needed to feign illness, and she spoke with a strong voice:

"Those goblins are our allies! They even brought us food! Now we can go get our food!"

As she spoke, Veronica pointed to the goblin caravan, and the townspeople all sprang into action upon hearing her words.

The townspeople ran towards the goblins, knowing they had experience receiving food before, just like the Holy Light Church distributing supplies; if they were late, there wouldn't be any left.

Seeing the townspeople suddenly go crazy, Veronica said anxiously:

"Queue up in an orderly fashion to get your food! We can't lose face in front of our allies!"

But the townspeople ignored Veronica's words and just kept charging forward, while the goblins immediately raised their weapons.

Some townspeople stopped in fear when they saw the goblins raise their weapons, but many others still charged forward blindly.

"Stop! I order you to stop! Anyone who runs any further will not get anything to eat!" Veronica shouted anxiously, but she accidentally aggravated her wound again.

But the townspeople didn't listen to Veronica, just when Veronica was about to ruin things.

The townspeople suddenly stopped and began to line up in an orderly fashion. The townspeople at the front of the line wore smug expressions.

The residents at the back of the line had expressions of utter despair.

Seeing this, the goblins also put away their weapons, but still stood around the grain wagons to prevent the townspeople from falling ill again.

"Gibberish! Gibberish!" A goblin said in a language the townspeople couldn't understand as he handed them two loaves of bread.

Then, the goblin waved, signaling for the next one.

The townsman happily left with the bread in his arms.

Veronica breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Don't worry, Lady Veronica, this is how they always are. It's always like this when the church distributes supplies. Haven't you seen it before?" the priest explained, leaning closer to Veronica.

"No, ever since the church discovered my talent, I have been improving my strength under the church's guidance," Veronica replied.

"Take another rest, your wound has reopened," the priest said, pointing to Veronica's abdomen.

Veronica looked down and, sure enough, large sections of her clothes had been stained dark red.

"No, I still need to go find hyacinths."

"Hyacinth is over there," the priest said, pointing to the Ice Adventurers' campfire.

Hyacinth was with the Ice Adventure Team and handed Sasha something that looked like a tool often used by mages.

After confirming that the townspeople were alright, Veronica nodded in agreement: "Okay then."

Then Veronica and the priest went to the campfire of the Ice Adventurers.

But the atmosphere around the campfire seemed a bit off; everyone was stiffly warming themselves by the fire, and no one was speaking.

"I never imagined Hyacinth was such a big shot," Sashagan said with a smile.

Hyacinth simply shook her head upon hearing this and said:

"I'm not a big shot."

After Hyacinth finished speaking, the group fell into an eerie silence.

Although Hyacinth said that, no one present believed her, after all, Hyacinth's entrance was too unique.

Moreover, the clothes Hyacinth is wearing now are incredibly expensive, and she looks like she's not ordinary at all.

Veronica's arrival did not ease the awkward atmosphere; instead, it made it even more awkward.

"What brings you here, Lady Hyacinth? Do you know the Frost Adventurers?" Veronica asked, trying to make conversation.

"Didn't we meet at the manor?" Sasha asked before Hyacinth could answer.

"I have met her, but I've never met Lady Hyacinth before?" Veronica was momentarily stumped by Sasha's question.

"Wasn't there a ratman there? She was Hyacinth!" Sasha replied.

"Huh?!" Veronica stood up in shock, then sat down again, clutching her wound.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Although Veronica still remembered the ratman from that day and had a very deep impression of him, she found it difficult to reconcile the two images, since one was an adventurer and the other was a richly dressed important person.

It's true that clothes make the man, so it's normal that Veronica didn't recognize him.

However, after repeated confirmation from the Ice Adventure Team and Hyacinth's affirmation, Veronica had no choice but to admit that the Hyacinth before her was indeed the ratman from back then.

"And what happened after that? Your friend was buried..." Veronica, who was trying to make conversation, realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.

"She didn't..." Just as Hyacinth was about to say something, she remembered what Luna had said: some things shouldn't be said everywhere.

Luna deliberately avoids talking about the Ice Flower whenever she video calls her sister, clearly indicating that the Ice Flower is something she can't discuss.

Seeing that the hyacinth had fallen silent, Veronica quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"It's nothing, let me treat you first." Hyacinth shook her head and reached out to begin treating Veronica.

"What are your plans for reclaiming the surface? Even I can't defeat that giant monster," Veronica asked Hyacinth after a moment of silence.

"We'll figure out how to deal with that monster, but you'll need to hold it off," Hyacinth replied, having already been informed of the plan by Shen Yuan.

"Really?!" Veronica seemed very surprised.

"Yes, but we still need time to make arrangements and preparations. The resurrected ones will be in charge of this."

"That's good. How long will it take you?" Veronica was already pleasantly surprised to learn that she could handle the monster.

"I don't know, these were handled by the resurrected ones," Hyacinth replied, shaking her head.

"Really? Then after the treatment is over, we'll start rescuing the townspeople. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know," Veronica replied solemnly.

"Okay." Just like Veronica chose to be assertive in negotiations, Hyacinth chose to be indifferent in daily interactions, which is the legendary "three-no girl" (no feelings, no attitude, no attitude).

Because she doesn't know what expression to make, Hyacinth always wears a calm expression when talking to strangers.

Hyacinth only reveals its true personality and hidden thoughts when communicating with Ice Flower, Luna, or praying to Shen Yuan.

Perhaps this is the result of emotional trauma.
