Roland had every reason to be excited.
After all, it was an acknowledgment of his integrity, capabilities, and prospects.
But Roland declined after only two seconds of thought. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, but I don't know how to devote my faith to a goddess."
Stunned for a few seconds, the angel put on a weird expression. "Why? This is an invitation from a goddess. Shouldn't you feel honored?"
"I am honored." Roland sighed and said, "But it doesn't mean that I have to worship any goddess."
"Any goddess?" The angel shook her head and said, "Occasionally, there are such Mages. Then let me ask you, what are gods and goddesses in your eyes?"
"Powerful beings, so powerful that we cannot understand them yet."
The angel asked with a smile, "Yet? Does it mean that you will try to understand them when you're capable enough?"
Roland nodded.
