Chapter 1125: Chapter 527: The Vile-Tempered Guy

"How’s it going? Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?"

Herbert shamelessly asked Finn, who had a twisted expression, and even playfully winked.

Hey hey~

Isn’t it feeling pretty good?

Faced with the enthusiastic greeting of the young man, the pitiful gentleman on the opposite side appeared rather low-pressure, with a death-like aura.

"..."

Like it?

Are you fucking human?

Is this a question a human would ask?

The light in Finn’s eyes had died, as he stared with a dead-fish-like peculiar look at the shameless Paladin.

No, this guy...

Although Herbert’s identity was indisputable, Finn couldn’t help but doubt.

Is he really a Paladin?

After a while, Finn’s gaze cleared up, and looking at the laughing Herbert, he originally planned to make a move but suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue.

Tired.

Suddenly felt everything was so exhausting.

He had spent so much thought and prepared for so long, only to encounter such an opponent.

"Phew!"

Instead of acting, he let out a heavy sigh as if to vent all the depression in his chest, shook his head helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"This feeling, it’s really... terrible."

Absolutely awful!

Whether it was Herbert’s sudden appearance, causing Divine to be cornered to death, or suddenly showing up here, all of this made Finn feel depressed, anxious, and even bitter.

Defeat.

The moment Herbert appeared in the Astrid Mage Tower, Finn knew he had failed once again.

Lost thoroughly.

Ever since he encountered Herbert, it seemed like he hadn’t come across anything good.

This guy is like he’s cursed with Misfortune...

And it seems like he’s not affected by Misfortune himself, but others related to him get chased by endless Misfortune.

God of Sand and Stone, for instance, and Finn himself too.

Has someone placed some strange Curse on this guy?

Thinking this, Finn stared at Herbert, and suddenly had a thought, asking a question that didn’t quite fit his character: "Hey, have you ever met someone whose character is worse than yours?"

Huh?

Herbert was taken aback by this question, tilted his head and blinked, unsure of himself as he said, "Uh, I... probably have met someone? Why? Is there some problem with that?"

What’s the matter?

["Eh? You’ve met someone like that before?"]

Upon hearing Herbert’s answer, not only did Finn feel strange, but even Miss Xie Shen, who thought she never missed any significant moment, expressed puzzled confusion.

["Who is it? Who could have a worse character than yours?"]

"You."

["Eh?"]

Why "eh"?

What are you putting on an act for?

Don’t you have a clue about how bad your character is?

["Oh."]

Miss Xie Shen asked with little interest, and upon getting the answer, decisively pretended as if nothing happened, continuing to feign closure.

Folks, who understands that sense of redemption when rushing to ask for gossip, only to find oneself being part of the story?

And Nenasha expressed pride over Herbert’s unfavorable evaluation.

Hehe!

She expressed that such "bad reviews" could come more often, I love hearing them~

After asking, Finn came to his senses, just about to change his words, but then heard Herbert’s unapologetic answer and widened his eyes in surprise.

"What? There really are?"

"Yeah, there really are." Herbert glanced quizzically at Finn, puzzled.

A person with worse character than mine, isn’t it easy to find plenty of them?

After all, I’m so kind-hearted, innocent, pure, and harmless, practically the perfect embodiment of a Paladin.

Well, if they’re not easy to find in the Justice Faction, we can try thinking outside the box.

That’s just the way it is; sometimes problems can be approached differently!

If that doesn’t work, try fishing around in the Evil Faction; I think if you’re willing to put in a little effort, you might still find people, right?

Although my moral bottom line is quite low, the people from the Evil Faction have practically no bottom line at all.

For so many years, they’ve always maintained a steadfast principle—without morals, no one can morally coerce them.

Finn looked at Herbert’s slowly nodding, marveled:

"So that’s the case huh, yeah, it’s not surprising, that guy too... So, is this why you inflict the suffering you endured on others?"

Because you suffered, you want to pass that suffering onto others?

?

"Uh, that’s not it."

Herbert initially wanted to habitually shift the blame onto Nenasha but seeing Finn’s thoughtful expression, couldn’t bring himself to do so and spoke the truth.

"You might not believe it when I say it, but it’s entirely my personal interest."

Herbert stated he didn’t have any twisted ideas like "having been drenched in the rain, hence disassembling others’ umbrellas!" or "giving others a complete childhood!"

This viewpoint is meaningless.

The ones who hurt you and who were hurt by you are two different groups of people, doing this doesn’t fulfill revenge but instead spreads the malice down the line.

But as a Paladin, Herbert couldn’t allow such things to happen.

His actions are entirely motivated by more noble, decorous reasons.

That’s right—it’s purely driven by interest.
