Bai Ye tilted his head.

The girl chuckled softly, "Although I'm a little worried, I'll still try to trust my guests to some extent."

Chapter 87 God

If someone were to look up at the roof now, they would be startled.

Because two people dressed in thin clothes were sitting on the roof, chatting and laughing.

On Snowfield night in Sierakow, the temperature suddenly dropped. One of the two men was wearing a traditional Sierakow robe with his arms peeking out from the wide sleeves, while the other was even more outrageous, wearing an ordinary thin shirt. In this icy and snowy world, he looked cold just by looking at him.

What's more, it's already started snowing.

Yes, a sudden light snow fell here at night.

The girl on the eaves arrived with this light snowfall.

Bai Ye had already guessed who she was.

The girl sitting beside him is Yelagand, the goddess of the Snowfield.

Or rather, the embodiment of Great Beast.

"Just call me Yela, or Ya'er, that's fine too." The girl put her index finger to her lips and winked at Bai Ye. "There are some things you know in your heart, but you don't need to say them out loud."

Clearly, she had already guessed what Bai Ye was thinking.

"I am now serving as the head maid of the Holy Maiden."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye was left somewhat bewildered.

This person must be a god, the one the Holy Maiden serves, and then she actually transformed into the Holy Maiden's handmaiden...

This role-playing is really outrageous; you guys in Snowfield are much better at it.

"I'll still call you Yela... Well, so, as the head maid of the Holy Maiden, is it really okay for you to be running around like this?" Bai Ye said helplessly.

"As long as I don't get caught, everything will be fine... If there's really an emergency, I can just go back." Yela was rather casual, stretching as she did so. "Don't worry about those trivial things."

Later, after Yela's explanation, Bai Ye understood that this guy possessed a rather special power.

Yela can appear anywhere within Sierakow, and she can teleport instantly throughout the entire Snowfield.

However, she cannot do this outside of the Snowfield.

"That's quite an amazing power..." Bai Ye was a little envious; it's instantaneous teleportation!

Naturally, Bai Ye thought of something and looked at Yela, asking, "If the territory of the Snowfield continues to expand, will your teleportation range also expand? Eventually, will you be able to appear anywhere on the entire land..."

"Yes, are we going to expand the Snowfield with these?" Yela raised her chin and pointed at Sierakow in front of her.

Yes, Sierakow was too weak and powerless.

"That's right, it's already a blessing that this place hasn't been occupied by others..." Bai Ye smiled.

Snowfield is not particularly valuable, and it does have some mineral resources, but the harsh climate makes mining inconvenient. In addition, it is surrounded by high mountains and protected by gods, so it has never been annexed by the three major neighboring countries.

As they were talking, Yela suddenly became a little unhappy. "I've always been the one answering your questions, that's not fair. Now, it's my turn."

"Alright, please go ahead." Bai Ye nodded.

"Stranger, why do you venture into the Snowfield?" Yela asked.

"You should have heard my conversation with SilverAsh, right? I'm here to solve the problem of the undead; I'm an expert in that area."

"Is that all you've got?" Yela clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest.

"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here... Oh, there's another reason." Bai Ye suddenly added.

"Huh? What's the purpose?" Yela was indeed drawn to Bai Ye's words.

"Of course it's a trip! You know, I've never seen real snow before..." Bai Ye replied with a smile.

In fact, he wasn't lying.

Whether before or after his time travel, this was the first time he had ever truly experienced snow in reality.

Oh, past lives don't count in the game.

After all, he didn't have a physical form at the time.

Yela fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while, she said somewhat dejectedly, "I thought that a guy with the aura of one of my kind, along with someone from the deep sea, had come to my territory with such a menacing air, wanting to cause me trouble..."

"And that's it?" Yela raised an eyebrow.

Bai Ye nodded speechlessly. "Indeed, that's all. What, you were fantasizing about a fight before?"

"Well, how should I put it... I haven't experienced foreign invasion yet, so it feels a bit... novel? Fighting for the Snowfield and the people I protect. Oh, right, don't think I don't know how brutal battles are, I just feel that I won't lose."

"So confident?" After Bai Ye finished speaking, he looked up at the snowflakes falling beside him.

He knew that Yela's words made a lot of sense.

After all, this is her home turf.

Whether it's millennia-old ice and snow or towering snow-capped mountains, she can use them all.

She will have a significant advantage in this battle.

Actually, Bai Ye's arrival in Sierakow wasn't entirely without other purposes; he still wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet the god of the Snowfield.

Before he traveled through time, he already knew that there were gods in the Snowfield.

However, none of the Players have ever seen it in person.

Even at the beginning, they thought it was just an indigenous myth and legend, similar to the background setting in a game.

It wasn't until later versions, when gods and Great Beast revealed their existence, that Players realized the entire world had always been accompanied by the gods.

Great Beast, those entities that exist in legends and myths, have always existed in the world; they are not fictional.

On this land, every legend, every tale, every story passed down by word of mouth around the campfire has a reasonable explanation.

Bai Ye originally came to the Snowfield hoping to meet Yelagand. After all, Dr. Kal'tsit had told him that his innate magic wasn't Originium Arts, but something similar to Great Beast Power.

In other words, Bai Ye is actually related to the gods, existing somewhere between gods and humans.

In addition, a strange creature was later sealed in his right arm— the Firstborn from the deep sea.

The composition of Bai Ye has become increasingly complex; in any case, it can no longer be completely called human.

Bai Ye wanted to meet these Great Beasts and see what their insights were about his situation. As his strength increased, Bai Ye also began to try to find answers and the truth.

There are too many mysteries surrounding him; perhaps these Great Beast can provide some explanations and answers.

However, to his surprise, without needing to rely on luck or specifically seek it out, this god of the Snowfield simply appeared on his own.

No wonder Dr. Kal'tsit mentioned before he left. "Of all her living kind, she is probably one of the easiest to get along with."

Chapter 88 Bai Ye is Jealous

Under the cover of night, Bai Ye met the gods of this land for the first time.

"You should know something about what happened on the Snowfield, right?" Bai Ye asked.

"Of course... but not entirely. If I focused all my attention on trivial matters, I would be exhausted." Yela shook her head.

Bai Ye was overjoyed.

Now that he had met the deity above the Snowfield, Bai Ye felt that he might be able to find another, simpler way to resolve SilverAsh's request.

Yelagand, the pillar of Sierakow's spirit, the god of the Snowfield, and the object of worship in religion, sat beside him.

Although she looks like a pretty young girl, Bai Ye knows that she is older than his grandmother—even though Bai Ye has never met his grandmother.

"His tears are ice that never melts, His back is an indestructible mountain, His breath is the cold wind of winter, and His smile is the warm sun of spring."

Yelagand was the first king of the Snowfield, leading the people Snowfield to survive and establish a nation.

Therefore, as Players and foreigners, we will never understand the significance of this faith to the Sierakow people.

The problem that SilverAsh cares about isn't actually that difficult. All it takes is for the person next to Bai Ye to say a word, and all the problems will be solved.

However, just as Bai Ye was about to bring up the matter, Yela's figure suddenly became blurry.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was hoping to chat some more, but the Holy Maiden suddenly had something to discuss with me, so I'll have to go now."

Yela said somewhat apologetically, and then disappeared from the spot.

Before her figure disappeared, the girl left a sentence in Bai Ye's ear. "It's not convenient to talk about things here. Come find me at the Holy Mountain."

After saying that, he and his voice disappeared.

Bai Ye looked at the place where Yela had stayed before, but there was no trace left.

It was as if this guy's existence was just his own illusion.

"... This ability is just too overpowered..." Bai Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

This creature can freely appear anywhere in the Snowfield, and its appearance and departure are completely silent. Even with Bai Ye's perception, he cannot detect any fluctuations.

It's important to know that Bai Ye is extremely sensitive to changes in airflow and atmosphere; to him, the atmosphere is like a spider's web. When Bai Ye is focused, no subtle change in airflow can escape his perception.

Even so, despite being completely focused, Bai Ye failed to notice how Yela had disappeared.

What an incredible guy...

Bai Ye sighed, then jumped off the roof and returned to his room.

Yelagand's abilities are so cool!

He actually really wanted it too.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye is still exploring his innate magical abilities and is unable to develop such capabilities.

And the Firstborn in the right arm showed no sign of life.

"When faced with difficulties, take a nap!"

Bai Ye chose to start playing immediately.

The next morning, Bai Ye woke up at almost the same time as Jian.

When he carried the coffee to the back gate, he saw Jian doing his morning exercise in the yard.

Upon seeing Bai Ye approach, Jian stopped what he was doing, removed the weights, and then put on his clothes.

Bai Ye noticed that she wasn't sweating much, so she really was a monster.

"Mr. Bai Ye is up very early." Jian was somewhat surprised to see Bai Ye. In her opinion, a scholar like Bai Ye, who appeared casual and lazy, would probably be a late riser.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye routine is so healthy.

"I'm used to waking up early." Bai Ye put down his cup and stretched. "I didn't expect that even after retiring, the Black Knight would still work so hard."

It can be seen that Jian's training volume every morning is quite large.

"Because I've gotten used to it too... Mr. Bai Ye, do you know how long it takes to go from a ' Laterano defective product that can't use magic' to a 'natural warrior'?" Jian asked rhetorically.

Bai Ye shook his head.

All he knew was that this guy, though from the magical kingdom of Laterano, was completely ignorant of Originium Arts. He was exactly like Bai Ye before he transmigrated.

She is probably a weaker version of Skadi, a pure warrior who believes in "pure strength".

Jian looked at Bai Ye and suddenly said without any apparent reason, "Although I don't know why, I always feel that we might be the same kind of people."

"Really?" Bai Ye was a little confused.

"Just consider this my opinion. By the way, what are the plans for today?" Jian had received instructions from SilverAsh, so all he had to do was cooperate with Bai Ye.

Therefore, whatever Bai Ye wants to do, as long as it's not outrageous, she just needs to cooperate.

Bai Ye looked towards the eaves. It seemed that even the powerful mace was completely unaware of yesterday's secret meeting with the gods.

Hmm, that's not bad either.

After finishing his coffee in one gulp, Bai Ye said with a smile, "We're going to the Holy Mountain today."

"Holy Mountain?" Jian was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Bai Ye to offer such an option.
