Chapter 1047 - 502: First Encounter with the Forest Goddess
But upon reflection, He didn’t think He said anything wrong.
His earlier words were not out of malice or arrogance, but rather a completely natural assumption.
No matter how you look at it, following the Master of the Pantheon definitely offers more prospects compared to following a Legendary Level Paladin.
"It’s nothing, thank you for your kindness, My Lady."
Herbert had no intention of explaining further, just smiled and added at the end: "However, if there’s a chance in the future, I would invite you to witness it firsthand, perhaps by then you might have a different thought."
Hmm?
Fulingya immediately sensed the problem, frowning, wanting to refute Herbert’s naive thoughts.
But in the end, He didn’t argue, just nodded lightly: "Is that so... Then I’ll be looking forward to it, hoping you can give me some surprises."
Both felt there was no need to argue, believing the truth would prove everything eventually.
By then, He (he) would understand how foolish His thoughts were.
Herbert didn’t dwell on this unpleasant topic; since the other side didn’t need his help, there was no need to insist on working, so he asked instead:
"By the way, do we need to secretly form a contract? To prove I’ve become an ally of the Natural Pantheon?"
"No, that won’t be necessary."
Fulingya shook his head, also showing a gentle smile, and said softly: "From the moment you first actively helped Nature, you were already an ally of Nature."
"And this invitation of mine is to hope you can become my personal companion."
He winked at Herbert, once again slightly bowed and curtsied, lifting the corner of his skirt, and said earnestly:
"Once again, welcome, Herbert Albert, young Godslayer, ally of Nature, my companion."
"I hope you can always stand by Nature."
Thunk.
Herbert too looked serious, raised a hand to thump his chest, and replied: "It’s my honor, Lady Fulingya."
"I will always stand on the side of justice."
As for how I define "justice," well, that’s not for anyone else to criticize.
I only know that I am always a partner of justice.
So, the answer is already clear.
Indeed.
I am justice.
...
...
"Truly an interesting mortal, an impressive little fellow."
"Under the disguise, what kind of person is he really?"
Watching Herbert leave, Fulingya mused, stroking the little cat lying on his knee.
Yes, the icy little kitty ultimately couldn’t escape, left behind to be bullied, unable to leave with Herbert.
"Mmm—"
Hecayas didn’t respond, just lazily yawned and slowly closed his eyes.
Fulingya needed no response, lost in his own thoughts, recalling the young man from their first meeting.
"Proud, excellent, resolute... truly a collaborator worth looking forward to."
"Most importantly, he has a very special aura about him."
That aura was so faint, Herbert probably wouldn’t even notice it.
Yet, this faint aura reminded Fulingya of... his father.
"Why does he have my father’s aura on him?"
He naturally wouldn’t think Herbert is the reincarnation of the Master of Nature, but wondered if he was the chosen inheritor.
Is it because he awakened the Heart of Nature?
A new Tree Shepherd?
Or perhaps, will he be the Guardian of Nature?
...
...
Meanwhile.
["What do you think?"]
The youth, seen by Fulingya as an excellent collaborator, after hearing the question, calmly replied without hesitation: "Methods are naive, character is innocent, lacks experience..."
"Should be pretty easy to fool."
