Chapter 255 255: 214 Am I? (5K)_3
This is his place.
No matter how many people come here in the future, no matter if they become a part of it or not, the ultimate ownership of this place belongs to him, Herbert.
Just like the majority of people who wished to have a secret space of their own when they were young, this is Herbert's secret space.
He can build here freely, unleash his imagination, and let the place change according to his wishes.
A bloodline known as the "construction maniac" has awakened deep in his soul!
Massive construction!
That's right.
I want to!
Create! Wonders!
*Cough cough cough…*
Of course, Herbert is just thinking about it and won't really start now.
He's not mad to that extent yet and knows that the current base is far from reaching the standard to create wonders.
He's still clear about what should and shouldn't be done now.
But people need to have dreams!
"Cough cough, this is really too overconfident, hmm, this is not good, not good."
Just when he started on the first strokes, Herbert wondered what he dared to think when the city truly began to build up?
And as the foundation of the town starts to take shape, Herbert suddenly thought of something crucial.
"Right, I almost forgot the most important thing!"
["Hmm? What did you forget?"]
"We should give this place a name!"
Always calling it the base or the Pure Land feels a bit disrespectful to it.
Nenasha didn't really care much about this.
In Her view, this place was just a temporary dwelling, and there weren't even any residents, so why rush to name it?
But since Herbert brought it up so seriously, She didn't want to spoil the fun and asked:
["Then, what kind of name are you planning to give it? You must already have some in mind, right?"]
Clap.
"Haha!"
Herbert slapped his hands excitedly and said, "Of course, I've thought of plenty!"
"Like Holy Soul Village or Divine Soul Village! Or Cecil Territory! Or Soron! Or…"
"Names are something you can have as many as you want, it's not a problem for me at all!"
Don't ask where the inspiration comes from… if you ask, it's an homage, a deep homage.
"But, before I make a decision, I want to ask you first if you have any suggestions?"
["My thoughts?"]
Nenasha paused for a moment, and asked curiously, ["Why do you want my suggestion?"]
"What are you surprised about?"
Herbert was equally puzzled by Her surprise and asked back, "Isn't this place important to you?"
["I…"]
The usually eloquent Miss Harmonious God suddenly fell silent at this moment.
Is it important?
It does seem quite important.
But is She really that attached?
Maybe, not that much.
["Herbert, I…"]
And seemingly realizing this, Herbert smiled and said casually:
"Don't overthink it, and don't feel any pressure, just consider it as helping me out."
He took off his boots and walked barefoot on the newborn grass, feeling the vitality of the ground with his feet.
"Nenasha, you seem to forget that this is not just the Divine Kingdom Ruins, it's also our base built by me, by us."
He walked to the spring, looking down at his reflection in the water, and chuckled.
"For you, for me, this is a very important first step."
"This belongs to me, but it also belongs to you."
This place not only belongs to Herbert but even more to Nenasha, and She has more credible qualifications for ownership here.
["…"]
"So, I'm not just asking you to help name it but also telling you—this place is yours as well."
"A name, or rather, what hopes do you have for its future?"
After a long silence, Nenasha finally sighed softly, somewhat helpless.
["You mischievous guy, you've really given me a difficult question."]
"Hahaha!"
Herbert laughed happily, sitting by the water, and said playfully, "I can't let you, this guy, back out from it!"
["… I really give up on you."]
Nenasha indeed unconsciously tried to diminish Her presence after arriving here, not wanting to interfere with Herbert's decisions
She is too special for the significance of this place, and once She has more entanglements here, it could easily trigger a chain reaction.
Even without intervention, She brought out the Holy Grail and Sofia; if She meddled further, who knows what else might emerge?
But Herbert doesn't care about that.
Want to sit on the sidelines?
It's not that simple!
Whatever increases the difficulty, it doesn't matter!
You have to contribute too!
The Divine Spirit sighed helplessly and then asked: ["Tell me, do you know what it means to have a wish from a Divine Spirit?"]
"What does it mean?"
"Miracles? Disasters? The interference of fate?"
Herbert casually replied, "Anyway, even if you don't wish for it, these things won't stay away from me."
Taking the risk is inevitable, so isn't there no difference at all?
"Since that's the case, why not give me a blessing?"
["Oh… alright."]
She pondered for a while, then quickly gave an answer.
["Elda."]
She said:
["In ancient language, this means a place of origin."]
["And in certain special moments, it has another meaning…"]
["A place of redemption."]
