She gestured at a point slightly shorter than her own height and sighed, "The real me isn’t actually as mature-looking as I appear now."

"Although Stella and I are twin sisters, to be honest, we don’t look very much alike."

"Even though I am the older sister, I actually appear younger, and my skin is lighter..."

"Well, as a Dark Elf, my skin color is indeed much lighter."

Svanni hurriedly explained under Herbert’s surprised gaze and finally said helplessly, "Uh! I mean, if you want to see... I don’t mind."

Herbert appreciated her awkwardness and nodded with satisfaction, laughing, "Haha, you better prepare yourself, I’m looking forward to the day when I can truly meet your real self face-to-face."

"Lord Herbert... do you know?"

Svanni pursed her lips and grumbled in a detached yet somewhat begrudging tone, "Sometimes, you really know how to bully people."

"Oh? From your point of view, it’s only sometimes?" Herbert laughed heartily, waved his hand, and strode towards the others.

"Let’s go, we shouldn’t stay here any longer, it’s about time for us to return."

And behind him, left in place, the Dark Elf gazed at his back with a look of grievance, her lips moved, and then she too smiled.

"Indeed."

"You’ve always been this way."

"You have a knack for making people feel gratitude, admiration, and respect towards you."

She licked her lips, savoring the recent sensation on her tongue, and whispered softly.

"...along with affection."

...

...

A week later.

"Cyril, are you really not going back?"

A cultivator looked puzzled at Cyril, who seemed to have become a different person, and quietly advised, "I know you’re not content, but staying here alone is truly too dangerous."

Although there had been some issues before, and the underground had displayed strange visions like lights, the overall operation was relatively smooth.

On the second day of entering the Dark Territory, they finally caught up with Cyril, who had rushed ahead, and successfully met up with Herbert, who arrived slightly later than them.

Afterward, everything proceeded according to plan, under Herbert’s supervision and protection, they trained and gathered all the materials requested by the guardian.

When everything concluded, they were ready to follow the standard procedure to head back.

However, Cyril surprisingly proposed to stay alone!

Everyone was quite puzzled by this.

Despite Cyril’s somewhat irritable temper and harsh words, he isn’t truly bad at heart and usually gets along well with everyone.

Everyone thought he was sulking and rushed to persuade him not to do anything foolish.

But Cyril just shook his head, declined their kindness, and explained, "Sorry, I’m not being stubborn, I really plan to stay here for a while longer for proper training."

He glanced at the luxurious carriage Herbert was in, moved his lips, and softly said, "Herbert... no, that lord gave me a task."

"What task?"

Cyril shook his head, didn’t explain further, "Sorry, it’s a secret investigation task."

"But don’t worry, I have some magical items for emergency handling, I won’t have any issues."

Although he didn’t know why Herbert wanted him to collect the blood of races unique to the Dark Territory, he still decided to execute it seriously.

Since Lord Herbert requested it, it must have been for a reason!

After their previous conversation, his perception of Herbert thoroughly transformed, turning into a staunch supporter and decisively requested to follow him.

And Herbert’s approach, like with Fao, neither agreed nor refused, maintaining a vague attitude.

The admiration for Herbert almost makes Cyril second only to Fao.

The more resistant he was before, after realizing, the more loyal he became.

Just as Svanni thought, perhaps Herbert really has an extraordinary charm, continually attracting others’ attention, silently converting them into his followers.

If Herbert doesn’t intend to develop his faction in the monastery so soon, he has the thought but hasn’t been very active, still quite restrained.

Otherwise, with this current trend, after some time, when Herbert rallies, he might pull together a team within the Mist Monastery instantly and establish the fourth branch department.

And now, even though Herbert isn’t deliberately cultivating, his reputation in the monastery is silently increasing.

Whenever they hear those legendary tales, hear the astonishment from those who’ve interacted with him, see every transformed Monster Girl he improved...

Every cultivator witnesses Herbert’s actions.

Those who are contemplating following are definitely not only Fao and Cyril.

However, since Herbert is still too young, his strength unclear, some remain restrained, not taking rash actions for now.

But when Herbert steps into the legendary rank, everything will change.

Then perhaps it will be that day when those watchers with thoughts move proactively to pledge allegiance.

...

...

Meanwhile, when Herbert and others finally embarked on their return journey.

After waking up for a week, having visited several rooms and chatted away many days, Valentina felt bored.

She’s stuck at an awkward point of advancing in the epic rank, with Herbert away, and Fremay and others unable to provide her any effective help.

In the end, Valentina couldn’t hold back and cautiously pushed open the door leading to the fifth floor.

"Hey!"

"Hello there!"

"I’m not here to fight! I came to ask you something... eh?"

In that aurora-filled space, Miss Hungry Dragon didn’t see the dangerous Fallen Angels from before.

Instead, she saw a tall red-haired figure.

That was her own reflection!!?

"No way!"

Valentina momentarily froze but quickly realized it wasn’t another of herself, it was merely a reflection.

"Is this... a mirror?"

And just when Valentina relaxed, the reflection in the mirror suddenly moved, giving her a faint smile.

"Hmm?"

Valentina: ???
