As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

[Saint Guard]: You walk alongside the Saint through trials, severing thorns for her, standing before her in times of danger, helping her receive the baptism of Holy Light, and even reclaiming her from the goddess's abyss. These holy deeds, forged with courage and perseverance, of saving and protecting, are the true embodiment of service and guardianship. If Alice is the Saint destined by fate, you are her destined guard.

[Reputation]: Reputation points +10000

Putting aside the title of the number one prodigy in the Western Continent, the Saint Guards really took advantage of Alice's fame this time.

The holy name of the Holy Maiden of Destiny resounded throughout the Western Continent. As her bodyguard, he was of course also the focus of attention.

It can be said that the more the believers of Holy Light worship and admire Alice, the more prestige they will gain will be second only to hers.

Above thousands of believers, below the Holy Maiden of Destiny.

Well, strictly speaking, I am also a clergyman!

Because of the previous conflict with the Church of Holy Light, Roy initially felt that this identity was strange.

However, as Theresa said, it is still uncertain which side will be the orthodox Holy Light in the future!

What happened to the goddess?

You don't work at all normally, so what's the use of you?

Our saint is walking on the earth alive, visible and tangible. If she really takes action, even goddesses have to step back!

Reputation points experienced a bumper harvest again after a long time. Even if Roy was indifferent to fame and fortune, he still couldn't refuse this happiness.

Including the previous gains, the current reputation points are close to 20,000 to 30,000, enough for two or three ten-draw draws.

However, this happiness far exceeded his imagination.

In addition to reputation points, an unbelievable number appeared on the panel.

[Reputation gain detected, converted into power of faith]

Divinity: 3%

Divinity?

Reputation can actually be transformed into divinity?!

The shock brought by this discovery even exceeded the reputation points themselves.

Compared to the extraordinary items obtained through exchange, bloodline level is the most important thing.

High level, divinity, that is the sublimation of life from bottom to top, which can only be encountered by chance.

Even Rowling eighteen years ago, the genius of that era and the best among all the pseudo-kings' blood, stopped here. It was not until she relied on the residual soul of the first generation saint that she barely crossed this threshold at the end of her life and was able to glimpse the divinity.

How to reach a higher level has always been a difficult problem that has troubled countless extraordinary people, but now, I have found a clear solution and there is a clear progress bar to observe!

Reputation symbolizes not only fame but also faith. And only by condensing the power of sincere and pure faith can it bring about sublimation and qualitative change, transforming from the extraordinary to the mythical?

The mortal body is promoted to the extraordinary, and the extraordinary body creates a myth.

If you think about it carefully, whether it is the Dragon King or the True Ancestor, they are all objects of faith for their respective races.

However, the Blood of the False King is an isolated outsider, so it needs to rely on the power of faith and divinity of others to break through to the higher levels...

It was not until this moment that Roy understood the essence of the false king's blood.

Roy told Rowling about his discovery.

The latter was silent for a moment before he sighed.

"Haha, it turns out that I have been taking the wrong path..."

Advancing alone might lead to the pinnacle of transcendence, but to achieve godhood, one needs the bonds of others and the recognition of the world.

Over the years, how many predecessors like Rowling have gone through untold hardships to reach the end of the extraordinary, but ended up stopping there in loneliness?

Thinking of this, Roy also had some feelings.

But then Rowling smiled and said, "But, think on the bright side, at least you are on the right path."

"You are so beautiful to have a little angel by your side!"

"To be honest, it's true." Roy admitted shamelessly.

That’s right, I no longer need to repeat the mistakes of my predecessors.

No matter what the road ahead holds, there will always be someone by your side.

Bathed in countless praises and admiration, and carrying an equally heavy responsibility, the blonde saint slowly turned around. Roy took her hand and walked side by side with her, stepping down from the platform and heading towards the unknown future.

Chapter 144: Unconventional Encouragement

After the inauguration ceremony, Alice became busy.

That night.

As the leader of all churches in White Harbor and even the Western Continent, Alice naturally had to take responsibility and accompany Theresa to meet with representatives from all over the world.

However, Alice had already anticipated this kind of occasion and was not at all nervous.

Whether dealing with princes and nobles or wealthy gentry, Alice maintained the etiquette of a saint, while keeping an appropriate distance, being neither humble nor arrogant, and being noble and elegant.

However, no one is so blind as to be disrespectful to the current Saint.

Roy, who was waiting nearby, watched Alice handling social situations with ease, leaving no room for him to intervene. He felt relieved but also a little lonely.

The children have grown up and no longer need my help.

Apart from Alice, the second focus on the scene was Roy.

Although the Saint Guard itself is just a nominal position, many people still come to talk to Roy.

In the eyes of many insiders, the boy is no longer the son of a marquis, but a high-ranking official with ambiguous relations with various forces.

His own maid performed so perfectly, so Roy certainly couldn't embarrass her. He put in his utmost energy and spirit to deal with the conversations from all parties.

The young man's gentle and elegant conversation also won the favor and praise of many people at the banquet.

But just when Roy was feeling complacent, a frivolous voice came with the wind, which made his body tremble and his smile froze.

"Yo yo yo, our saint guards are so handsome~"

"I agree. The white dress goes really well with Roy's black hair."

As expected, as representatives of their respective forces, they must also attend the banquet in White Harbor!

Looking back, I saw a green-haired elf as lively and lovely as a nightingale and a silver-haired girl as cool and charming as a blue rose, coming with a fragrant breeze.

Beautiful girls with different styles walking side by side is a beautiful scenery that does not belong to the blonde saint.

However, compared to the greed and fantasy in the eyes of countless people present, Roy, who was sandwiched between the left and right, felt a sharp tremor in his heart and was unable to raise his head.

Jon Snow asked with concern: "How is your health?"

"Already healed."

"Of course not." Nia lowered her voice, laughed playfully, and glanced in Alice's direction: "After all, a certain Saint Lady sacrificed herself to save you."

With every word the two spoke, Roy sweated a drop, and by the end, he was sweating profusely.

We agreed to treat us equally.

However, in this matter alone, he was too busy to handle everything, and had to take the first step with Alice.

Although Alice said she had asked for their consent, as the saying goes, she had something to hide. Roy felt that the two of them were just playing the good and bad guys to torture him!

No matter what, it’s never wrong to apologize first!

Roy said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Alice and I did that."

This sentence left the two of them confused.

"I don't understand. What are you apologizing for?" Jon Snow tilted his head slightly.

However, Jon Snow's expressionless face, as usual, now seemed to Roy like he was questioning with a cold face and cold eyes.

It was like the last calm before the head teacher got angry.

Roy had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's a ritual to remove the erosion of holy light..."

"Sorry, I slept with Alice."

In a public place, you wouldn't suddenly hit someone...right?

Anyway, Roy was mentally prepared to be treated with sarcasm or cold ridicule.

It doesn’t matter. As a real man, I can take it and let it go. I dare to act and take responsibility. I accept your criticism!

Let's not talk about Jon Snow for now. It's okay to take Nia's slap, as long as she doesn't draw her sword...

However, unexpectedly, neither of them got angry.

What followed was a crisp sneer.

Nia said happily: "That's it?"

"Please, I'm not some flat-chested, jealous person. I won't get angry over such a small thing!" Nia comforted him while patting his shoulder.

Jon Snow also nodded slightly: "Alice's feelings for you are true, and she deserves your treatment."

Isn't it just sleeping?

We all sleep with you every day, and you never say anything. Why are you so timid when you're with Alice, like a pure little virgin?

Instead of being annoyed, the two men gave such affirmation. Now it was Roy's turn to be confused.

This, this is still a small matter?

No, based on past experience, shouldn't you be jealous and furious at this time, questioning my scumbag behavior, or starting a war with Alice?

Why didn't you follow the routine this time?

Is this also Alice’s protagonist halo?

For a moment, Roy even suspected that he was too conservative!

Seeing Roy standing there in a daze, looking at a loss, Nia and Jon Snow looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

In the past, everyone wanted to kidnap Roy, but for a certain silly little golden retriever, no one could feel jealous.

Even a little pitiful.

I have been working hard for so long, but the progress is so slow. I work more than anyone else, but eat less than anyone else.

Tragic, too tragic!

It’s bitter, so bitter!

Whether it was Nia's concern for her best friend, or Jon Snow's humility towards his juniors, when they looked at Alice in the distance, they only felt deep sympathy.

I finally managed to sleep in the same bed with Roy, but I still couldn't catch up with their progress. That was too miserable!

Just like a fast-running rabbit, it really can't bear to compete with the slow-moving turtle. If they don't help, they will feel guilty if they stick to Roy in the future.

Nia poked Roy's cheek in displeasure and began to criticize: "Honestly, little Alice is introverted and shy. As a grown man, you should be more proactive at this time!"

"I agree." Jon Snow stared at Alice in the distance, exuding a rare maternal concern. He sighed, "Alice has just been ordained as a Saint and has been very busy lately. You should pay more attention to the child."

Be proactive.

Pamper more.

I slept with Alice, what the hell are you talking about?!

You really don't care at all?!

Roy dreams of a harmonious harem without quarrels or fights, where they can live together peacefully like sisters, so that he can hold all the wings and enjoy the warmth of all the girls.

However, the scene before him was so absurd that it was hard to believe.

He even suspected that these two people were fishing and would turn against him in the next second, grab his ears and question his scumbag behavior.

But nothing happened.

Nia's smile is still sweet, and Jon Snow's eyes are still calm.

Roy cautiously made a final test: "You really don't mind?"

"And Charlotte and the others too, do you really mind if I do that with Alice first?"

"Oh, don't worry, everyone has agreed that no one will disturb you two these days!" The elf girl waved her hand casually.

The banquet was coming to an end. Seeing that Alice had finished talking with representatives from all parties, Nia couldn't wait to push Roy in that direction.
