Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 733 - 392 Angels and Dragon Maids and Nuns_2

In most cases, when gods choose mortals to become their Divine Favorer, they do not consider the feelings of the other party.

It is you whom I favor, what does that have to do with you?

Whether you accept it or not, this favor you will be forced to accept.

If it were the favor of a True God, it would be fine, as it grants special abilities to the Devotee.

But if it is the "favor" of an Evil God, then it may result in a different outcome, forcing them onto a thorny and twisted path.

...

The crowd gazed at Herbert in silence for a long moment, and Herbert did not take the initiative to speak, quietly waiting for them.

"Ahem."

The first to react was the Guard Captain of the Holy City, who cleared his throat twice and nodded slightly toward Herbert.

"You... um, fellow from the Monastery, welcome to your arrival."

He quickly adjusted from his initial shock, regaining his usual steadiness, and said to Herbert with a somewhat helpless smile: "You sure have caused quite a stir."

After learning of Herbert's identity, he connected the dots to the previous mysteries.

They also realized which side that Giant Dragon actually belonged to, turns out it's indeed one of our own!

It's not a trick of the God of Sinful Desire, but an ally summoned by our own.

Just a slight issue, they didn't coordinate with us and went to wreak havoc on the frontline first.

Herbert shrugged and smiled softly: "All for justice."

He did not elaborate on why he needed to take those "possibly" dangerous actions that could escalate the war's intensity.

He just stated one thing—that everything he did was merely to eliminate more of the Evil God's minions.

Yes, everything I did was for justice.

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, everything I do is for justice!

Have I, Herbert, ever had a bit of selfish motive?

No!

"Is that so..." The Guard Captain, hearing Herbert's response, found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Should he be criticized?

That is clearly not an option.

No matter what, what Herbert did was merely fulfilling a normal Paladin's duty.

From this perspective, there is nothing to reproach.

So, should he be praised?

Logically speaking, indeed, Herbert should be commended for "resisting the Evil God's minions" and saving his companions.

But emotionally speaking, everyone present was not quite willing to do so.

The appearance of the scarlet dragon indeed disrupted their original plan, making many subsequent preparations impossible.

According to the original plan, they were going to continue luring the enemy deeper, seizing the opportunity to give the Sinful Desire Church a brutal lesson.

Although this might sacrifice some believers' lives, compared to the ultimate goal, it was acceptable.

"This…"

The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat subtle again, and the Guard Captain hesitated without speaking immediately.

Herbert naturally could sense that something was amiss in this case.

But he saw through it without exposing it, and did not take the initiative to inquire.

If you're going to play dumb, then play it all the way.

Herbert did not take pride in his "achievements", instead, he asked with some worry: "Sir, have I done something wrong?"

However, he did not reflect on whether his actions were reckless, but thought about it in the most "simple" way.

"Oh! I understand, I know where I went wrong!"

"Is it because the enemies we killed before weren't enough? We need to eliminate them completely? Is that correct!"

Ignoring how others reacted, Herbert nodded with sudden understanding.

Is it that I haven't killed enough, haven't done it thoroughly enough?

Although Herbert did not explicitly say this, his expression and actions already indicated an attitude— just give the word, and I'll go back immediately and continue sending them away!

Kill, kill, kill!

The Guardian Captain's eyebrow twitched, immediately realizing something.

This guy is also a killing machine.

In many organizations, the Mist Monastery is seen as conservative.

They do not get involved in the entanglements between various Divine Spirit Churches, only acting to eliminate evil, quietly fulfilling their duties, guarding sealed objects.

And the Sun Church is recognized as extremists within the True God Church.

These extremists, who cannot tolerate the slightest trace of evil, love nothing more than eradicating evil completely, eager to eliminate the entire evil force.

But now, the conservative Herbert feels that these extremist Sun Faithful are a bit too conservative.

Extremists find conservatives too extreme, conservatives find extremists too conservative.

This is truly magical realism.

"Ahem!"

The Guard Captain coughed, promptly interrupting Herbert's "epiphany", and said in a deep voice: "No need for this, you've done plenty already, you need to rest now."

"We've already prepared a resting place for you."

This was also the sentiment of others.

Hurry up and rest honestly!

Don't create more trouble, especially do not disrupt our plans again!

"Since you say so, then thank you for your care."

Herbert did not resist, nodded slightly, and accepted the Guard Captain's goodwill readily: "But before that, please let my companions also enter the Holy City."

The Guard Captain nodded lightly, subconsciously said: "That Giant Dragon? If it's... wait, companions?"

Not only Herbert and that Giant Dragon came here, but others too?

More experts?

He thought of this and, moving his thoughts, his gaze fell on the gate of the Holy City, where some commotion was taking place now.

At this moment, many people at the gate were looking at the three figures outside the city.

His sight first landed on the two at the back, both of whom were wearing traditional Monastery-style habits, high and short.

Although their figures were not apparent, and the habits covered most of their exposed skin, these two nuns exuded an unusual charm, making it hard not to focus one's gaze on them.

However, even though these two striking figures had enough allure to captivate the eye, the majority of people's attention at this moment was focused on the figure walking in front.

It was a woman with a tall stature, her bright red hair tied simply in a single ponytail at the back of her head, projecting an aura of valiant elegance in a maid's attire.

Wait, why is it a maid?

"Hmm!!?"

The Guard Captain squinted at Valentina, noticing the aura around her and understanding that this was the human form of the scarlet dragon.

Why is that scarlet dragon with epic strength dressed as a maid now?

Ah?

Though full of confusion, the experienced Guard Captain held back and did not act rashly; instead, he turned to look at the two figures behind Valentina.

"Who are they?"

On the figures of those two nuns, he sensed a faint abyssal aura—they probably were not ordinary.

"They are my followers."

Herbert spoke calmly, softly saying: "I know the doubts in your hearts, they are indeed not ordinary humans, but come from an alien race from the abyss."

"They once made mistakes, but they have realized their errors, and now they are striving to repent for their sins."

"This time I brought them here, hoping the Master of the Sun's light can shine upon them, further purifying their sins."

After Herbert said this, he looked up at the crowd with various expressions.

Clearly, not everyone could accept his statement, instinctively resisting the abyssal bloodline.

But perhaps due to Herbert's "angel status", even so, these people did not act rashly and looked to the Guard Captain, awaiting his decision. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Thus, Herbert also looked at the Guard Captain, nodded lightly to him, and asked: "Is it permissible?"

"After eliminating so many Evil God's minions, can they have the qualification to enter the city?"

Is this qualification enough?

"..."

Faced with Herbert and the crowd's gaze, holding the deciding power, the Guard Captain fell silent, tightly furrowing his brows.

"They..."
