Chapter 339: Only want thoughts not to slide (5K extra update 116 117)

The situation of Herbert and the two monster girls is very abstract.

As an unserious Paladin, Herbert has never been a moral saint and has never claimed any pure love declaration.

On the contrary, he has never avoided his greed.

And Elisa and the others are also clear about this point and don't feel there is any problem.

Elisa herself is a latecomer, even if she wants to be angry, it's not her turn to explode first, and she still has to queue up to wait for the front to finish exploding.

But the problem is, the hungry dragon lady at the very front doesn't care about such small things at all.

So, Herbert actually doesn't have much guilt, and Elisa doesn't have much guilt either.

Clearly, even if everyone's relationship was exposed to others on the spot, it wouldn't matter; it's not a big deal.

However, such a relationship that could step into sleeping together at any time was forcibly made to have a sense of immorality by Sifanni, who hadn't officially succeeded yet.

Yes, it's the damn "sense of immorality"!

Elisa was positioned as the victim in this game, and was unknowingly stolen by Sifanni, who was the yellow-haired one, right in front of her face.

And as the object of being stolen, Herbert could only raise his thumb, indicating—you play really big! You really know how to play!

One can only say that the talent of the Dark Elf in this aspect is truly convincing.

The hard work that others are proud of is really not worth mentioning in front of true talent.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery over there, Elisa cleaned it up and bit it lightly with her teeth as if complaining.

It's just that the force was too small, almost like scratching an itch; compared to expressing dissatisfaction, the meaning of acting like a spoiled child was stronger.

It wasn't saying—why do you do this kind of thing?

But it was saying—why do you only do this kind of thing?

Herbert understood the meaning in her eyes, but didn't pick up the conversation at this time, withdrew his finger, and answered the previous question: "You ask about my relationship with Sifanni? That is of course different."

"We experienced such a difficult battle on this trip and solved the crisis together, so the feelings must have deepened."

Herbert added: "What's more, she was hiding her identity before, and I couldn't have too much communication with her."

He explained it logically, and it seemed to have reasons and evidence.

Although Elisa still felt that something was not quite right, she accepted this statement and went back to continue chatting with Sifanni.

And after dismissing the vampire lady, Herbert turned his head to look at the compartment of the carriage.

Click.

It seemed like a coincidence, and it also seemed like noticing Herbert's gaze, the small window of the compartment closed gently.

Herbert looked at this self-deceiving little action, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up lightly.

"Interesting."

The internal space of the carriage was expanded by a circle with the help of supplies Sifanni scavenged from Malagas City, allowing the Gray Dwarves to build six compartments.

And at this moment in that compartment... is Theresa.

This mixed-blood girl has maintained a snake-person state since her resurrection and is constantly trying to adapt to the power of her bloodline, actively transforming back into a human form.

The scene of him playing with Elisa just now seemed to have fallen into her eyes by coincidence.

It's just that I don't know how much of those little actions just now this little guy saw?

However, Herbert needs to complain about one point... although he habitually treats Theresa as a little girl, that is his wishful thinking.

After asking about her specific age, he helplessly discovered that the other party was actually a few months older than himself.

It's just because of the mixed-blood reason, she looks young, at most only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Damn it, it's a fake younger sister!

Of course, Herbert was just complaining casually; in fact, age doesn't matter to him.

Which of these monster girls he met is truly young?

Oh my, when it comes to the critical moment, they are all the same~

They are all my good younger sisters.

"Hehe~"

Herbert looked deeply at the compartment, then smiled and withdrew his gaze.

He didn't go to seal Theresa's mouth on the spot, but instead deliberately pretended not to notice—he really wasn't in a hurry.

Theresa can't run away.

She has lost her place to live and has no village to return to.

Although hearing Theresa's self-account that she still has a father, she doesn't want to see him for the time being.

Is it because she doesn't want to show her monster appearance to her relatives?

Or is the relationship between the two not good, and they are having a tantrum?

Herbert didn't know, and understandingly didn't ask more.

He allowed her request to stay by his side and invited her to come to his Eldar territory.

Since you can't find a place to live for the time being, do you want to come to my territory?

The girl's answer was naturally affirmative.

"I am willing... to join the Eldar territory." Theresa's happy expression at that time made Herbert happy for a long time.

"Ah, thinking about it carefully, in this way, she is the second official population of the Eldar territory?"

"Speaking of which, did that Shi Shi Diwen find his daughter? If he doesn't come back in the end... well, it doesn't matter if he comes back or not."

Herbert thought about that miserable adventurer and didn't take it too much to heart.

Opportunity, he gave it, which can be considered as having done his best.

It just depends on whether Shi Shi Diwen can grasp it.

Being able to connect with Herbert is definitely a big opportunity for Shi Shi Diwen that is enough to change his fate.

Shi Shi Diwen knew that this opportunity was extremely rare, but in the end, he still decided to give up this opportunity for his daughter.

Feeling his fatherly love, Herbert gave him an extra opportunity.

"I hope he can bring his daughter back as promised in the end, and don't let me down."

Herbert thought for a while, then threw Shi Shi Diwen to the back of his mind, and his gaze scanned the carriage.

Then, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Not counting, I don't know, counting, I'm shocked, there are so many women in this car...!"

There are six people in the car, and he is the only man.

"And, the human content is so low!"

Vampire, Elf, Mushroom Person, Mixed-blood... among the remaining five women, only Kui Nana is a pure-blooded human.

Kui Nana followed them back to the Misty Monastery to report, because she had consumed too much before, so she was resting in the carriage.

And the remaining mushroom merchant was coaxed by Herbert to go to the Eldar territory to open up territory.

For Miss Mise, the conditions given by Herbert were also generous, and he did not deliberately exploit her.

The two signed a contract.

Miss Mise will work for him in the Eldar territory for ten years, and Herbert will provide her with corresponding remuneration.

After ten years, if she is willing to leave, she can also leave on her own.

But during this period, she cannot go out on her own initiative.

Miss Mise agreed to Herbert's conditions after pondering.

Ten years, it sounds long, but for a Legendary Mushroom Person, it is not a constraint at all.

She even suspected that Herbert setting such a short time had some conspiracy—for example, intending to send her to a quite dangerous place.

Strictly speaking, Miss Mise's thoughts cannot be considered wrong; the Misty Mountains are indeed not a very safe good place.

But now the contract is signed, so she can't regret it afterwards.

As a qualified Lord (Capitalist), Herbert is not that benevolent yet.

And ten years is actually the goal Herbert set for himself.

If the Eldar territory after ten years does not have the attraction to make Miss Mise stay voluntarily, then his efforts can be considered a failure.

Herbert is still very optimistic and confident.

Transforming the whole world is very difficult, and he doesn't want to challenge it; let such things be done by the Destiny Heroes.

But transforming a territory and establishing his own pure land shouldn't be too much effort.

Holding so many monster girls, with their help, if he still can't do it, it's a bit unjustifiable, right?

"New territory people, new land, the Eldar territory is also going to get better."

Herbert sighed, but there was no blind optimism in his heart.

He is very confident, but not arrogant.

In the development of Eldar, there is actually one biggest limitation—himself.

Herbert is only one person, even if he can use one mind for two purposes, he is really physically unable to clone himself.

Territory construction is not an idle game; you can give an order remotely and wait for the harvest.

The reality is that he, as a Warden, is still trapped in the monastery and cannot go out for a long time without returning.

He can choose to give up the identity of the Warden and find a task of going out to practice as an excuse to leave the monastery.

But that doesn't make much sense.

He left easily, but what about Valentina and the others?

Can Herbert leave them here and leave by himself?

That is definitely impossible.

Herbert will not consider it at all.

Then...

"Learn the method of flesh and blood clone from Sifanni?"

It is a backup method, but Herbert is a bit resistant to this operation in his heart.

He hates getting lost.

According to Sifanni's statement, when she first mastered the ability of flesh and blood clone, she had a long period of self-loss.

She couldn't tell which one was her true body.

If the clone has the same bloodline, strength, and soul as the body... then is the clone still a clone?

At that time, who is the true body?

Sifanni finally walked out, but she also spent nearly a hundred years, and finally determined the only original heart.

She would get lost for so long, on one hand, there was the secret interference and trouble of the Nieyu, and on the other hand, it also proved the danger of the flesh and blood clone ability.

Herbert has the confidence to finally recognize the original heart, but he doesn't have much confidence in how long he will get lost.

Unlike others, Herbert has a huge flaw.

Because from a certain perspective, he can really be regarded as two people.

Past life, present life.

Although the two people are him, the reincarnated him has only one soul in his body.

But this life experience with too much difference between the front and back is very easy to produce a sense of fragmentation.

Even now, Herbert sometimes feels dazed at a certain moment, not knowing if he is just having a long dream.

Although he knows in his heart that those are just dazedness caused by fatigue, he still has doubts.

Herbert doesn't know if such a small flaw in his heart will be accidentally magnified by the clone—if something happens, it won't be fun.

Herbert, who has always been cautious in his actions, does not intend to let himself take such unnecessary risks.

"And if you don't clone, then there are two paths before your eyes."

"Either, I entrust the territory to someone I can trust to manage it, and check the progress from time to time."

Herbert pondered for a while, and finally helplessly denied it.

"... Sigh."

There is no one in hand!

There is a centaur spirit Sophia, but she is not a material for management.

As for those priests of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church... well, but let's guard against it.

"Either, think of a way to take them to Eldar... where they can live for a long time."

"But in this way, it is inevitable to give the Archbishop a reasonable explanation."

Herbert's relationship with the Archbishop, he himself can't explain clearly what kind of relationship it is.

The old man seems to know nothing, like a muddled old man.

But he also seems to know everything, just deliberately not saying it.

Can't guess, can't see through.

But he can't feel malice, and can even feel the intention of protection.

There is a feeling of... "ambiguous acquiescence."

But Herbert knows that even if it is really like this, this acquiescence must have a degree.

He cannot cross the line.

Just like some of his previous operations, it was obvious that they were all poked in his face, but he was still pretending to be deaf and dumb.

This is the tacit understanding between Herbert and the Archbishop that neither of them has ever mentioned.

Some things, Herbert can do, but he must give the Archbishop an explanation that can be justified on the surface.

Without a reason, the Archbishop will not let go.

"Go back and find an opportunity to probe the old man's tone..."

Herbert continued to ponder, changing to another roundabout idea that did not collide with the Archbishop head-on.

"Do a two-way teleportation array? I don't know if the resources collected from Malagas this time are enough."

"Where should that be set up? It can't be set up in the Third Commandment Office, right? Teleportation is forbidden in there... and this operation is a bit jumping in front of the old man."

Thinking about it, this plan was also ruthlessly denied.

Forget it, don't think about stimulating the old man.

If he really makes him unhappy, there will definitely be no good fruit for him to eat.

"If it really doesn't work, there is the last backup means, you can let Sifanni act as a megaphone connecting the two places, just prepare a figure version of the flesh and blood clone on both sides..."

After thinking repeatedly for a while, Herbert loosened his tightly locked brows and returned to calm.

He was not very irritable; temporary difficulties could not trap him.

As long as thoughts don't slide, methods are always more than difficulties.

And after not struggling, his thinking began to diverge, imagining some unrealistic solutions.

For example, if only the arbitrary door of the Third Prison could be expanded to the outside world.

"Tsk, if only there could really be some simple way to connect the two places..."

Thinking, Herbert couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, feeling helpless about his greedy greed.

"Well, I guess there shouldn't be such a coincidence in this world."

Third Commandment Office.

When Valentina excitedly finished telling Fuleimei about her mirror adventure on the fifth layer, she didn't see the other party's surprised expression—but was scolded.

Scolded!

The hungry dragon lady forgot that she had sneaked out to find Luka Luka Liya and did not follow the agreement with the mermaid lady.

Then, after she was scolded by the mermaid lady earnestly.

Valentina felt that Fuleimei was worried about her encountering danger, so she was even more ashamed and didn't have the nerve to bare her teeth at others.

Taking advantage of the gap when Fuleimei was changing her breath, she tucked her tail and ran back to the Endless Maze.

You said it very correctly, but I don't want to listen anymore!

Slipped away, slipped away.

After such a commotion, she didn't even have the mood to go to the Lava Hell to suck magma, returned to her little nest, and shrank into the little quilt with Herbert's scent.

In the corner where there was no one else, Valentina took out the little mirror Herbert gave her and pouted at herself in the mirror.

Whenever she was unhappy, she often took out the little things Herbert gave her to examine.

"I hope Fuleimei won't tell Herbert about this later, otherwise, I feel like he will also scold me..."

She closed her eyes and prayed silently, hoping that the mermaid lady would not secretly report.

Even if she really wants to say it, she has to confess it herself.

And just when Valentina was thinking about how to confess to Herbert to get the least scolding, she suddenly felt a white light flash before her eyes.

"Hmm?"

When Valentina suddenly opened her eyes, her smile disappeared instantly, and her vertical pupils contracted sharply.

She found that she had actually appeared in a strange space!

She was forcibly transferred without knowing it!?

Countless mirror surfaces made up the space she was in, and everywhere were Valentina's reflections.

"This is, where?"

After realizing the problem, Valentina immediately became serious.

Although she still maintained a human form, her body surface was covered with a large number of scales, entering a half-dragon battle state.

Although she did not feel the crisis, this feeling of being manipulated by others made her very unhappy.

Especially at the node after she had just been scolded and had no way to vent, she was even more unhappy!

Very unhappy!

Although she had restrained a lot in front of Herbert and endured in front of those who cared about her, but... Valentina was still her.

She is the 【Fury】!

The little good temper left is for friends, and those suppressed bad tempers... are exploded at this kind of moment.

Anger, instantly boiled.

Sss!

Her whole body emitted a dangerous aura that kept strangers away, and hot air waves gushed from her body surface, rapidly heating the surrounding air.

Valentina's cold gaze moved rapidly, looking for the mastermind who brought her, and said grimly:

"Get out!"

Just as she was about to explode, those reflections suddenly spoke at the same time: "Wait a moment, don't be nervous."

The "Valentina" in the mirror opened her mouth and smiled: "Relax, don't be so timid, I really have no malice towards you."

She spread her hands, expressing her friendliness, and smiled: "I just want to chat with you..."

Boom!!!

And responding to the kindness in the mouth of the "person in the mirror" was the roaring flame.

Dragon Breath!

As a dragon, Valentina has her own logic of doing things.

Encounter a sudden situation?

Don't panic.

Spray a dragon breath first!

Can't hold it, don't panic, it's already solved.

Can hold it, then chat properly.

In short, just one sentence.

Whatever you have to say, don't rush to say it.

Wait for me to spray a dragon breath first!
