Sophia, Pay Me Back!

Alike! They really do look alike! No wonder the dragon said the Valkyrie Statue looked familiar. It does look familiar, because the Valkyrie —ah, I mean, the pretty lady who owes the dragon money—does look quite similar to the Valkyrie.

Just because they look alike doesn't mean the Valkyrie is the pretty older sister who owes money to the evil dragon.

She remembered the dragon saying that the beautiful woman who owed him money was a mage, a mage who could cast Forbidden Spell even when her level was higher.

The Valkyrie is not a mage, but a brave and skilled warrior, a fearless and undaunted warrior who dares to thrust her spear even when facing a powerful enemy.

If that pretty lady who owes the dragon money were Valkyrie, beating the dragon would be a piece of cake. As for the so-called Beast Tide, the Valkyrie could just throw her spear into the sky and any number of Magical Beast, Ferocious Beast beasts, or Exotic Beast would die.

"It does look somewhat familiar."

"Doesn't he look like the guy who owes me money?"

"This is a temple, and there are clergy around. Please have some respect for the gods, or I'm afraid you'll get beaten up by the temple's clergy."

Saying the Valkyrie who owes money, doesn't the evil dragon even look around? Just now, a few clergymen were already giving him unfriendly looks. It's one thing to stare directly at the Valkyrie Statue, but to also speak rudely.

If the evil dragon continues down this path, it might actually get beaten up by the clergy of the Valkyrie Statue.

Kneeling on the prayer mat, Joanna dared not raise her head. The conversation between Lance and Little Dragon Highness made her tremble.

Valkyrie, how could Lance dare to suspect that the Valkyrie is in debt?

When Lance was at the City Lord's Mansion that morning, he thought that the young-looking Lord Lance already arrogant enough.

Looking back now, it seems Lord Lance was too restrained this morning.

He claimed to have come to the Valkyrie Temple to pray for blessings, but upon arrival he neither knelt nor bowed, and even said things that could easily be labeled as blasphemous. Is he really Brandon's teacher? How could such a gentle and humble person as Brandon have such a teacher?

Lance stopped, and the young dragon rubbed its eyes with its claws, its eyes stinging and hoping it wouldn't go blind. Some clergy members of the Valkyrie Temple noticed Lance.

Lance simply stood there staring at the Valkyrie, and they couldn't say anything. As long as he didn't do anything out of line, they wouldn't use force to drive him away.

The temple knights said that the person standing in the center of the hall staring at the Valkyrie was quite strong.

If force is used to drive them away, it will be very difficult to defeat this person without activating some of the temple's formations.

Anyone who can raise a young dragon must be quite powerful.

Besides, the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion is still kneeling on the prayer mat praying. Just bear with it.

Lance crossed his arms, still pondering the relationship between the temple 'Valkyrie and Sophia.

Is it just that they look alike?

Or is he overthinking it? A god with his own temple is at least a respectable deity. Would such a god be so bored as to descend from that ethereal divine realm and be treated like a human? Surely not that bored?

One more thing, if Sophia is really this Valkyrie, then her talent should be [Martial Dao Reaching Divinity].

Instead of "Mystical Arts Reaching Divinity".

Besides, what would Valkyrie do if she came down from the realm of the gods? To experience human love?

Do you want to experience the thrill of not paying back debts? Or do you simply want to experience the feeling of death?

Or perhaps she made a mistake and was defeated by a god in the divine realm, sent to the human world to undergo tribulation? Lance's intuition told him that the Valkyrie and Sophia must have some connection.

If a black dragon can walk in the human world as a human, why can't the Valkyrie of the gods come down and experience what it's like to be human?

Or is it a search for a lost emotion?

As for why the talent was chosen as "Magic," having reached the Martial Dao Reaching Divinity, coming to the human world to experience what it's like to be a mage isn't too much to ask, is it?

Should he try shouting "Give me back my money!" at the Valkyrie statue? After shouting it, regardless of whether the Valkyrie Statue reacts or not, he won't lose out.

Generally speaking, in temples in small cities like this, the statues do not possess divinity.

Only in grand temples where incense burns brightly and the power of faith is like auspicious clouds can the statues of gods possess divinity.

Some special prayers, when relayed by clergy, may be perceived by the divine.

If you encounter a statue that lacks divinity, and you want the deity to notice this corner...

There is only one way: call out the true name of the deity repeatedly. As for whether the deity will eventually turn its gaze here, that remains to be seen.

If the Valkyrie and Sophia truly have a connection, then he should shout at the Valkyrie's statue, "Sophia, pay me back!"

Or shout "Sophia, pay me back!" a few more times, Valkyrie Statue will definitely react.

If there's no response, there's only one possibility: the Valkyrie might be a deadbeat.

Want to give it a try?

If we've wronged the Valkyrie, we can simply become her follower and offer her some faith.

The worship of dragons should hold some appeal for Valkyrie, right? "Stop staring at me! Pay up, Sophia, pay up!"

"Sophia, pay me back!"

"Sophia, pay me back!"

Lance shouted it three times in a row. Just as he was about to shout it a fourth time, he was dragged out of the temple by the temple's clergy.

When the young dragon and Joanna, who was kneeling on the prayer mat, saw that the temple clergy were having trouble dragging Lance, they quickly stepped forward to help.

The young dragon lifted Lance's left foot.

Joanna lifted Lance's right foot.

Lance was carried out of the temple by the clergy of the Valkyrie Temple.

Fortunately, Lance did not resist. If Lance had, it would have been difficult for the clergy.

It's not bad that we were able to get rid of this troublesome person, Lance, using this method.

No, we have to add this Valkyrie Dragon Knight who yelled "Pay back the money!" at the Valkyrie to the Valkyrie Temple's "Blacklist".

If the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion brings this person to the temple again, just close the door.

In all their years as clergy, this was the first time they'd ever seen anyone dare to yell at Valkyrie Statue for money. Who is Sophia? The Valkyrie's real name isn't Sophia.

The clergy of the Valkyrie Temple chose to close the temple early today.

They had to pray to the Valkyrie so that Valkyrie would forgive their earlier incompetence.

"Bishop, are the eyes of the Valkyrie Statue looking straight ahead into the distance, or are they looking down with pity for humanity?"

"Of course, it's about gazing into the distance."

"Really? Maybe I was mistaken. I think I just saw the Valkyrie Statue's gaze looking towards the temple entrance."

"Nonsense."

The bishop of the Valkyrie Temple snapped at the clergyman beside him in an annoyed tone.

The young clergyman scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. He couldn't stay up late tonight; his eyesight was getting worse.

Fortunately, the bishop was approachable and did not blame him.

I must have just seen things for a moment.

Speaking of which, that young man was really bold, daring to shout for his money back at the statue of the Valkyrie.

That's outrageous.

Isn't blaspheming against the gods a bad omen?

Dragon Knight. It seems normal to be bold, but it's not normal to blaspheme against the gods. PS: Thanks to the old pigeon for the 1500 points.
