Chapter 714 - Collapse of Faith (2/2)

“Your dance was filled with hesitation and confusion. It wasn’t as energetic and enlivening as before.”

After a brief shock, the Winterwolf Holy Lady smiled. “It seems that you didn’t lie and you do know dancing, but you would’ve been more convincing if you didn’t show such strong physical reactions.”

“That’s the normal reaction of a man who has seen the most beautiful woman with the most beautiful art. You can’t ask me to suppress my nature,” declared Roland solemnly. “Tell me what your trouble is. Maybe I can help you!”

The Winterwolf Holy Lady looked at Roland weirdly. “You want to pursue me?”

“Not exactly. It’s just a chat between friends.” Roland thought for a moment and said, “Although it does look like I’m courting you, I don’t have feelings for you.”

The Winterwolf Holy Lady was an interesting woman.

As a Holy Lady, she was more humane and arousing, and less sacred and pure, than the Holy Lady of Light.

This woman knew human nature very well, so Roland believed that it was better to speak to her frankly than to tell lies.

The Winterwolf Holy Lady smiled, bringing a warm breeze to the cold world.

But then, she pulled a long face again. She straightened a leg, lowered her upper body, pressed her face against her knee, and said in frustration, “Our Winterwolf Goddess has run away!” Roland subconsciously peeped at the end of her thigh. Then, he found it inappropriate and moved his eyes away.

That couldn’t be helped. It was the natural reaction of a man. He didn’t want to peep.

He had already shown enough self-control by moving his eyes away immediately.

The Winterwolf Holy Lady had only a long rope that weaved around her in circles and covered some critical parts.

When she straightened her leg, she revealed parts that shouldn’t be… After all, how much skin could a red rope cover?

Then, Roland asked in confusion, “The Winterwolf Goddess is gone?” “Not gone; she ran away,” said the Winterwolf Holy Lady, almost crying. “She was lured by a human from outside. She simply said that we should live on our own now, that she had to pursue love. Then she ran away.”

Roland was quite impressed. “Which man couldn be so good? I remember that the Winterwolf Goddess is more than a hundred meters tall, isn’t she?”

“She can take on the appearance of a regular girl.” The Winterwolf Holy Lady thought for a moment and said, “The witnesses said that it was a human who wore golden armor. He seemed to be from the Temple of Light and rode a red dragon here.”

Oh… Roland knew who it was.

Then, he had a “that’s only natural” feeling.

“So, this is the last time I dance for the ritual.” The Winterwolf Holy Lady almost cried out. “I won’t be the Holy Lady in the future. The Frostwolf Clan won’t use the Winterwolf as our totem anymore.”

Her faith had collapsed!

No wonder she seemed lethargic and unconcerned when a man peeped at her.

“What’s the plan for the Frostwolf Clan?” asked Roland.

“We’ll just stay here for as long as we can,” said the Winterwolf Holy Lady unhappily. “We don’t need to save the world anyway. The old men said that human beings needed us to beat a great devil every couple hundred of years, until Heroes emerged among them. They don’t need us anymore. Now, even the Winterwolf has abandoned us. Why are we so unlucky? We haven’t done anything wrong. Why did the Winterwolf Goddess abandon us?”

This time, the Winterwolf Holy Lady truly burst into tears, and the white dog ears above her head dangled down.

Oh… Roland truly did not know what to do.

He was not a believer, and he did not know how to comfort the crying woman.

It was also worth noting that Roland didn’t even know whether or not he should touch her considering how she was dressed.

He could only remain silent.

Fortunately, the Winterwolf Holy Lady wiped her own eyes a moment later, and her ears rose again. “Right, you must be here for something. Is there anything I can help you

with?”

Relieved, Roland nodded and said, “I would like to ask the Frostwolf Clan to look for someone for me.” “Who is it?”

“The camp of a northern lich.” Roland smiled.

A couple of days earlier, when Roland fought the lich, he found some leads even though the lich didn’t confess anything.

He noticed the hint of northern frost in the lich’s dark magic power.

That was a very remarkable skill.

It was like how a wine taster, after sipping the wine, could tell where the wine was produced, how the grapes were fertilized, how long they were exposed to sunlight, how much rainwater they received, how many leaves of the grape vines were cut every day, and how the wine was fermented in the bucket, to produce such an outstanding taste.

Thanks to Roland’s high mental power, he was able to sense the intricacies of magic power as he leveled up, provided that he had been familiarized with it before.

Roland had run into liches on the way to the Froststar Kingdom last time.

He had remembered the smell of the frosty northern magic power since then.

So, while the lich thought that he didn’t say anything or betray himself, Roland had already figured out where he was from.

“You must be referring to the liches near the border of the Froststar Kingdom.” The Winterwolf Holy Lady frowned. “They are quite troublesome. They dig every day, and the places they live in are filthy and disgusting.”

“I’m willing to pay a high price.”

The Winterwolf Holy Lady was uninterested. She wasn’t attracted to money, but for her people, she was willing to listen to Roland’s offer.

“Five hundred gold coins for one lich camp.” Roland gave her the same offer as he did to the Phoenix Guild. “I can pay you a hundred coins up front as your founding.” “How many?” The Winterwolf Holy Lady’s beautiful eyes were widened.

“Five hundred gold coins. I can pay…”

Hum!

The Winterwolf Holy Lady had been seated at least one meter away from him, but she suddenly emerged before Roland’s eyes.

Her posture was the same, but there was no distance between them anymore.

They were so close that her breasts nearly touched Roland’s chest.

She was almost as fast as Andonara.

“Fantastic. We’ll take the mission.” Bright light burst out of the Winterwolf Holy Lady’s eyes. “The northern liches, right? They’re now the Frostwolf Clan’s targets. Nobody can beat us to them.”
