Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Hmm...huh?" Vera slowly opened her eyes and found a girl in front of her. She was sitting on a seat made of earth and stone. She wore a black leather jacket over a white shirt on her upper body, a pair of black jeans on her lower body, and a pair of long boots that were also black. The hair is tied into a ponytail, with the ends hanging down on the nape of the neck. At this time, he was crossing his legs and holding his face with one hand, looking at Vera with interest and a playful smile.

"Is this... paradise? Or is it hell?" Vera was very weak at this time. She even thought she was dead, and the person in front of her was the messenger who came to greet her.

"It's a pity that this is neither heaven nor hell. It is my holy land, Yangyan Forest." However, the other party interrupted her fantasy and pulled her back to reality.

"Your...? Ah, you are Xia Yang, the goddess of summer!" Vera woke up suddenly. It seemed that she was not dead, but she also saw the main purpose of coming here this time.

Standing up slowly, Vera could clearly feel the wounds on her body and large areas of skin that had been burned, but she couldn't care less now.

"Lord Xia Yang! Please..."

Before she even finished speaking, Xia Yang made a stop gesture, indicating that she should stop talking. "I know your purpose here. Isn't it just to get strength from me to save Lu Ren?"

"Do you also know Sister Lu Ren?" After hearing Xia Yang's words, Vera was very excited. She didn't expect that even the goddess of Xia knew Lu Ren. Lu Ren had never told her before.

"It's not that we know each other, but we sisters all know that there is such a person. My strange sister is with her now." Xia Yang was not very interested in Lu Ren's situation. She just said casually, And the expression on his face became calmer.

"Eh?" But Vera was very surprised by this. The sisters of the Goddess of Summer are the Goddess of Autumn and the Goddess of Winter. Although Lu Ren wrote in the letter that he was acting with the Winter God's chosen one, he did not say that the Winter Goddess Ji Yin was also with her. But since the goddess is by Lu Ren's side, there should be no need to worry too much for the time being.

"Humph..." Seeing Vera let out a long sigh of relief, Xia Yang made a strange sound.

"...Well, since you know the purpose of my coming here, please give me the strength to help important people."

Although there was a goddess on the side to help Lu Ren, Vera still felt uneasy. After all, she always felt uneasy when she was not by Lu Ren's side. And I have gone through many hardships to get here, how could I just come back empty-handed?

After hearing Vera's request, Xia Yang tilted his head and stared at Vera but said nothing. After a period of silence, Xia Yang slowly spoke. "What if I say no?"

"This..." Seeing Xia Yang's refusal, Vera's expression changed from optimistic to disappointed. Although she had thought about what to do if the other party did not agree to grant her protection before she came, it seemed that nothing she could say would work in this situation.

"I ask you to give me the strength. I really need this strength to help my important people."

There was no good way, so Vera could only try to stalk her, trying to see if she could pry the other person's mouth.

"Why do I have to give you power? You are not my believer, and if I give it to you, will I also give it to others? Then wouldn't the world be full of my chosen ones?"

"I am willing to be your most loyal believer. As long as you can give me strength, I will definitely offer you my most devout faith." Vera showed a sincere expression, but unfortunately, this move did not seem to be of any use to Xia Yang.

"Do you think I will believe it? Even if you are my believer, the Chosen One is a gift that very few can possess. You'd better go back quickly. Seeing how pitiful you are, I won't care if you break into my house without permission. It’s about the Holy Land.”

Seeing that the other party still disagreed, Vera was heartbroken, knelt directly on the ground, and requested again sincerely. "Please, Lord Xia Yang, I really, really need your power. I know this is just my shameless wishful thinking, but I still want to beg you. I need this power to help Sister Lu Ren. She is now alone. People are in dangerous places and involved in dangerous things, and I can't just sit back and do nothing."

Facing Vera's plea, Xia Yang turned his face away and stopped looking at Vera. Seeing this scene, Vera moved to Xia Yang again. No matter how Xia Yang turned his head, Vera came to Xia Yang again and again and kept pleading with her.

"Hey... that's all. Seeing that you have passed my trial, I reluctantly agree to it." Maybe he was bored by Vera's behavior, or maybe he had this intention in the first place. . In short, after Xia Yang sighed and looked at the tearful Vera, he agreed to Vera's request.

"Really? Thank you very much, Lord Xia Yang!" After hearing Xia Yang's words, Vera finally showed a happy expression. She stood up and came to the opposite side of Xia Yang, waiting for Xia Yang to give her protection. .

"Huh, I just wanted to tease you before." As he said that, Xia Yang waved his left hand, and a dazzling light started from Vera. And Vera herself could also feel that something had entered her body.

As the wounds on her body gradually healed, Vera's body also erupted with the unique magic power belonging to the Goddess of Summer. Looking at his intact body, it seemed that only the clothes that were riddled with holes still recorded the previous tragic situation. But then again, the clothes on his body were not completely burned in the previous flames. It must be because of Xia Yang's strength.

"Thank you, Lord Xia Yang!" Feeling a steady stream of power pouring out of her body, Vera knelt down on one knee and saluted Xia Yang. Now she too is a Chosen One.

"It's nothing. Since you passed my test, I will also give you a corresponding reward."

"Test?" After hearing Xia Yang's words, Vera said with little understanding. Were the vines and flames just now really obstacles set up by Xia Yang to test himself?

Seeing that Vera seemed a little confused, Xia Yang patiently began to explain to her. "On the outskirts of the forest, facing the endless reincarnation, you showed your persistent belief. Facing the invincible enemy, you defeated it with your cleverness. And in front of those vines, you also used your unyielding tenacity Overcame the difficulties. Finally, with fearless courage, you rushed into the holy flame that can burn everything."

Having said that, Xia Yang seemed to be very satisfied with Vera and added another sentence at the end. "Of course, this is all because of your love and passion for someone. Otherwise, you might have died or given up midway."

After finishing the explanation, Xia Yang looked directly at the slightly confused Vera again. At this time, Vera had fully recovered, and all the injuries on her body had disappeared. Except for her clothes, which were all in tatters, everything else was in tatters. It looks very cute.
