Beco a banner.
Although Herbert's words were sowhat abstract, the Sun Pope easily understood his aning.
"Oh? You've realized it already? Haha, you are truly smart."
The old man looked at the young man's difficult-to-maintain expression and finally regained the advantage he had lost earlier, pleasantly stroking his beard.
Good.
Feeling content.
According to the "law of conservation of smiles," when the Sun Pope smiles, another person in the room loses their smile.
"..."
Herbert now couldn't smile at all.

Upon realizing what the Sun Pope intended to make him do, Herbert couldn't hold it anymore.
"No, Your Eminence the Pope!"
"I think this is really impossible!"
Herbert, ignoring decorum, glared at the smiling old man, gritting his teeth and feeling agitated:
"Let deal with the Evil God's incarnation? How is that possible!!?"
Co on, brother!!?
You really want to play it this way?
Both sides are smart, so subtle nuances do not need to be spelled out to be understood.
Once Herbert received help beyond his capability, he knew trouble was looming.
If given a Legendary level reward, Herbert would gladly accept, generously receive it, and express sincere gratitude.
If awarded an Epic level prize, Herbert would hesitate, then reluctantly accept, afterward expressing thankfulness with trepidation.
If given a "windfall" above Epic level, Herbert would receive it with a face full of delight and then seize the chance to flee.
With greater ability cos greater responsibility.
You take soone's money, you should solve their problems.
There's no breakfast for free in the world.
The gifts of fate always co with a marked price.
Herbert has always understood these truths.
This unforeseen gift of fate surely would not be easy to accept with peace of mind.
If you take the money, you have to do the work.
But Herbert didn't want to get involved in this ss at all.
He just wanted to be an ordinary salary thief, not wanting to do any serious work!
Be a "body armor rack," smoothly bringing Valentina and the others into the Holy City, and his task from the Monastery would be done.
That's it!
There's no need to strive anymore.
Next, he just needs to loaf around, coast along, help Flora find the path to Baptism, and wait for the two Churches to sound the retreat, thus wrapping up this trip to Solantis successfully.
I want to escape, but I can't escape—
In na, Herbert also does not belong to the Sun Church, so he doesn't have to follow the Sun Pope's orders; he could actually choose to refuse when faced with this job forced upon him.
But the problem is... right now, he can't refuse at all.
The other side simply doesn't allow him to refuse.
"Don't worry, if it's just you alone, indeed, it's impossible, but now you have my help."
Pope Iverson stroked his beard and smiled self-satisfied, saying: "Don't worry, even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in . You surely can do it."
"It's just a timid Evil God too afraid to fully descend into the Mortal Realm, rely his incarnation, what's there to be afraid of? Ah hahaha!"
Listening to the Sun Pope's arrogant laughter, Herbert's mouth involuntarily twitched, wanting to punch him outright and interrupt that damn laughter.
Weak?
What nonsense are you talking?
Is the God of Sinful Desire weak?
He's totally unrelated to weakness, right!
As one of the few Evil Gods possessing High Tier Divine Power, he himself is a leading figure in the Evil Faction.
rely due to his style of conducting affairs, compared to those True Gods, he behaves more insidiously and treacherously, as if having sothing to hide.
People always said he was bad, but nobody ever said he was weak.
Especially his authority over [Fallen], which, although difficult to exert sufficient power in high-end battlefields and cause significant damage,
for lower-tier forces, this ability is completely overpowering. Many weaklings are silently corrupted before they can even resist.
Moreover, just listen to what kind of nonsense the old Deng, the Sun Pope, said just now?
Easy to accomplish?
Am I a hamr to accomplish it!
Herbert secretly ground his teeth, gloomily eyeing the old Pope laughing so much that his wrinkles were spreading open.
Take back my previous words.
This old guy is not so master at playing big gas, but also an old Deng who's disrespectful to the elderly!
Damn old fellow is very bad!
If Herbert really followed the Sun Pope's idea, that would be true madness.
Not to ntion the actual difficulty and terrifying dangers behind this "easy to accomplish" challenge the Sun Pope spoke of.
Even if Herbert truly succeeded as stated by the Sun Pope, afterward, it would be full of problems and endless troubles.
At that mont, Herbert will surely beco known to the world as a hero!
This ti, it won't be like in the Dark Territory, where although he did a sensational deed, few were aware of it.
This ti, he won't remain naless again; he'll truly be noticed by the entire world.
But the problem is, this fa, coveted by ordinary people, will be a sharply edged double sword.
To put it nicely, it's an attention-grabbing flying banner, encouraging all knowledgeable individuals to move forward.
But to say it more bluntly, Herbert would just be a... target.
Focus of attention!
At that ti, all beings will know his na.
