Chapter 880 - 440: The Cold Winter Goddess’s Decision
They knew they had no chance.
Whether it was identity, status, or strength, everything had long been stifled.
Unless Herbert actively invites them, none of them have the right to draw close to him.
Strictly speaking, in the entire territory, only a few distinguished adults currently have the qualification to entertain such "crooked thoughts."
First, it would undoubtedly be Lady Sofia.
That brave and strong Centaur Heroic Spirit possesses formidable strength, guarding the safety of the territory.
Although she claims to be the most loyal servant of the Lord, this statement can only deceive herself.
Who doesn’t see her true intentions?
Every time Herbert returns, the tenderness in the eyes of this Centaur Lord almost flows out!
Loyalty, you say?
You just crave him! Crave his body!
Next, it must be Lady Joanna.
However, Lady Joanna seems truly to have dedicated everything to the Goddess, having no interest in romance.
This is quite normal, as Joanna has always wanted to climb higher within the Church, having already abandoned all useless thoughts.
Hmm, quite a boring woman! (everyone whispers)
Then, there’s the mysterious witch who wears a black cloak all day.
Miser, although outwardly announced as a merchant and part-time Alchemist, everyone chooses to ignore this statement.
Which merchant looks like that?
In the residents’ eyes, Miser, who occasionally pulls out a strange potion and then uses various reasons to trick others into testing it, is nothing short of the "witch" who brews potions while cackling evilly, as seen in legends.
Yeah, Demon Witch!
But this doesn’t mean Miser has a bad reputation; it’s more like a teasing nickname.
On the contrary, she’s been highly regarded despite not being in Elda for long!
Various strange-tasting yet surprisingly effective mushroom potions have become essential in the residents’ lives.
Mushroom healing salve, mycelium seasoning, mushroom juice, Shade Fungus special potion... These absolutely aren’t expensive goods, but they add a splash of color to the residents’ mundane lives.
Not to mention, Miser has taken on the task of surveying the surrounding situation and even provides a ’life-saving mushroom’ to everyone going out, saving several people’s lives.
If a popularity vote among the three Legendary Strongman were conducted, Miser’s votes would likely leave the others far behind.
Apart from sufficiently strong figures, the remaining candidates are only two girls with special identities.
However, whether Lady Miser harbors special feelings for Herbert... others don’t know.
Anyway, there might be something going on, keep observing!
Snake Woman, Teresa.
This sensible and obedient girl was brought back personally by Herbert, their relationship assuredly isn’t ordinary!
Although she spends all day stuffing things into her mouth, as if she didn’t eat enough in the past.
When her human form can’t eat anymore, she shifts to Snake-man form, eating until her tail is several circles rounder before stopping, always drawing everyone’s attention...
But maybe Herbert likes this type?
After all, more than once someone has witnessed Herbert chuckling while feeding Teresa.
As for her feelings toward Herbert... huh, we’re not blind!
The little girl is either muttering Herbert’s name all day or hiding in a corner silly smiling at an old book.
And the last one is... Yunier.
Yes, this young girl is also eligible to vie for Herbert’s attention.
The Elf Priests aren’t idiots; they are actually very smart.
Having spent so much time together, they’ve already deduced Yunier’s true identity—from various interaction details and Joanna’s attitude—yes, she’s undoubtedly a Divine Favorer of the Goddess!
Although they don’t know what Yunier’s task is, considering her status, it’s enough for her to get close to Herbert.
However, due to certain "reasons," she doesn’t dare reveal her inner feelings, resulting in her occasional melancholy.
And Herbert, fearing he’s aware of the girl’s feelings, merely maintains an oblivious stance.
Yes, the truth must be this!
Smitten boys and longing girls, this development is the most exciting!
Gua! No matter, we just want to see this drama!
Under such speculative premises, Yunier’s every action is "rationalized" and finds corresponding explanations.
But actually, the gossipers were mistaken.
Gossip, wrongly consumed!
At least for now, the "inner being" of the Cold Winter Goddess within Yunier has no special romantic feelings for Herbert... at least not now.
She is indeed interested in this mysterious little fellow, but it’s a different kind, akin to how the maternal light of love surged while dealing with the Ice and Snow Goddess, wanting to take good care of him.
Those dazed moments either reflect the Cold Winter Goddess pondering, or the real Yunier zone out.
Right now, the reason Uphemia is so worried is actually quite simple.
She doesn’t want the tranquility in Elda to be shattered.
Lately, the Cold Winter Goddess has grown fond of her current identity as "Divine Favorer."
Not because of Herbert, nor is it to use this identity to continue teasing her little kitty.
But it’s because of Elda.
This sparsely populated, rudimentary, half-finished little domain.
She likes it here.
Her little kitty bears no affection for this place, having merely joined the early project plans, but not participating throughout, remaining unaware of the specifics here.
