Panis took Catherine by the way, and walked slowly in the courtyard in silence, the farther away from everyone. After a long silence, Catherine stopped and whispered, "It's far enough away, just say something, do you really need that metal body?" It should be a part of the cipher disk that you mentioned earlier, which contains the secrets of the goblins, but is it worth risking so much for this part?"

"I wasn't sure enough about this before, so I didn't tell you. After all, after giving you hope, it will be very painful if it ends up in the end. Pannis, clasping his hands on his chest, leaned against the outer wall of the mansion, and said with a wry smile: "If you get this metal part, then all the parts of the cipher disk will be ready." ”

"Huh?" Catherine was stunned, "Aren't there only three?"

"I asked my friend to find the other three parts. "So that's the last part," Pannis said. But that's not the point, the point is the reason why I'm so desperate to find this set of cipher disks, do you want to hear it, I think you will be very interested in it after listening to it. ”

"Is it important?" Catherine leaned against the wall as she followed Pannis's example, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

"I know a goblin friend who has studied goblin history very deeply. Pannis plucked a wildflower from the grass next to him and stuffed it into his mouth: "Do you know what was the pinnacle of their research in the most glorious era of goblins?"

"Smack. Catherine slapped the flower off Pannis's hand, and said angrily: "Don't you say how I know, it's a metal puppet?"

"No, not at all. Pannis said: "Compared to us, the goblin's body is very weak, although they have developed metal golems to make up for their shortcomings, but as far as they are concerned, they are still easily injured or sick, so the most in-depth research they have is the medical technology." It is used to strengthen the body and heal diseases. ”

Catherine leaned against the wall, her breathing suddenly stopped, she felt stiff, and her heart beat several times faster. Wriggling his neck that suddenly became stiff. Catherine slowly looked at Pannis, whose expression remained unchanged, and asked in a trembling voice, "So...... What does it have to do with Vivien?"

"I wanted to tell you when everything was confirmed, but I didn't expect to be forced by this mermaid to say it now. Pannis sighed and shook his head, "I can't guarantee that what is written in it must be what the goblin guessed, even if it is." I can't guarantee that I'll find the real location by following the contents, and I can't guarantee that there's something there that will cure Vivien. In general, these are just conjectures and have not been tested in practice. But I don't think anyone can do anything about Vivien's illness, and if there is a cure for her, it can only be in the hands of the lost goblin technology. ”

Catherine bit her lip tightly, her bright red lips pale from the pressure of her teeth: "Can you elaborate?"

"The goblin told me that the contents of the cipher disk were probably a record of a comprehensive biological research institute that represented the most cutting-edge technology of the goblins. There may be a cure for her in the Institute. Pannis said, "It's just a maybe." ”

"How likely do you think it is?" asked Catherine, "is it big?"

"Who knows. Pannis spread his hands and replied helplessly: "Maybe it's 100 percent, maybe it's 1 percent, no one knows until the end." So, now it's up to you to risk your life for that slim hope. However, I must warn you that this mission is likely to go into the deep sea, where the danger is far greater than you think, and even demigods are not guaranteed to come back alive if they go to fight those terrifying sea creatures. ”

"I know the dangers of the deep sea, of course I do. Catherine clenched her fists hard. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You should call Lina too, and ask her to risk her life, at least ask for her own opinion." ”

"Looks like you're tempted. Pannis smiled and asked, "But you look down on Lina too much." Do you think you can take an adventure for Vivien's sake, and Lina won't?"

"Well, it's me who is wrong. Catherine smiled bitterly: "Then I can only accept their request, alas, this is the first time I have accepted the task without any concept, and I always feel very uneasy." ”

"It's a normal feeling of unease. Nothing. Pannis patted Catherine on the shoulder and said, "Go back, but it's better not to tell Vivien about this, or she'll desperately oppose accepting the mission." ”

"Of course I won't tell her. Catherine gave Pannis a blank look, pouted, and said, "I'm not stupid, even if I tell her, I'll wait until the task is completed and I will get paid." ”

"She'll be happy then. The corners of Pannis's mouth curled, and he turned and walked towards the negotiating table under the oak tree: "Hopefully the result will not disappoint her." ”

"Sister, you guys are so slow. As soon as she walked back, she heard Vivien complain: "We are listening to Lanna talk about life under the sea, and it turns out that life after getting rid of the shackles of the plane is so interesting." ”

Catherine and Pannis smiled at each other, winked at Lina again, and then sat down and said solemnly, "Your reward is indeed something we cannot refuse. ”

"That's great. Lan Na secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It seems that you are going to accept it?"

"Don't rejoice too soon, we haven't agreed yet, and don't forget that the reward is only for our first concern, which is about the danger to our lives. After Catherine finished speaking, she took Lina and Vivien's hands from left to right and asked, "This time I will decide, entrust me with your choice, and even entrust your life to me, no comment." ”

"Didn't I give it to you a long time ago? Lina sneered and said, "There are many things, it's okay if it's inconvenient to say it, we trust you, because you care about our lives more than ourselves, so there's nothing to worry about." ”

"It's okay to notify me when it's decided. Vivian was even more simply, grabbed the fish skin bag on the table and turned her head to leave: "I'll go back to the laboratory first, call me before leaving." ”

"You give me back. Catherine angrily grabbed Vivien's collar and pressed her back into the chair: "I'll have to eat later, and I'll go to the laboratory after eating, and I'm not allowed to sit still now." ”

"Okay, okay. Vivien grimaced aggrievedly, holding the mermaid's tears and instantly entering a state of trance, no longer paying attention to what the others said.

"By the way, I have a question for you. Pannis tapped lightly on the table, his gaze wandering over Lana and Lamia's faces, "You two came to us, I'm afraid it's not your own judgment, someone introduced us to you." ”

"Of course. Lana's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Captain Gully Elmer highly recommends you." ”

"Oh?" said Pennis, smiling, "so you knew that Captain Gully Elmer would recommend us, so you prepared a reward and persuasion for us before coming to us." How did I not know that the merfolk had the gift of a prophet? ”

Lan Na tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her face and said with a bright smile: "Yes, we have a strong talent for prophecy. ”

"Hey. Pannis rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "It's not a good habit to cheat. ”

"Well, I'll admit, we've been told about your Nelly adventures in advance, and we've been told what you desperately need. However, we wanted to see if there were any other options, so we asked Captain Gully Elmer to recommend you, but I didn't expect him to recommend you as well. But even so, we can't fully trust you, hence the previous temptation. I hope you understand that this is not a calculation of you, just a small coincidence. Lan Na put away her playful smile and said solemnly: "But I ask you not to ask who that person is, those are two strong men with very status and status. This is also an explanation of your second concern, which is the nature of the mission. ”

"Please be more detailed. Catherine asked, "It's hard for me to understand that." ”

"I know your second concern, that this mission is contrary to your justice and faith. Lan Na said, "But I think these two introducers are enough to dispel your concerns. I can't name them, but I can swear by the name of my god Catolle that these two introducers will be no less honourable and prestigious than the knight Nelly, whom you revere. So you can rest assured that if this task is against your justice, they will not be able to help us. ”

"Alright, I know who you're talking about. Pannis covered his face and said: "These two guys are so powerful, why don't you solve it yourself, if you have to introduce you here, they must be taking revenge." ”

"Do you know?" Catherine asked curiously, "Who?"

"Two little girls with big dogs. Pannis sighed and said, "You have seen it on the grassland, if it is the task introduced by the two of them, then there will be no problem, don't worry." ”

Catherine nodded and held out her hand to Lana and Lamia, "In that case, on behalf of Nelly's adventure party, I accept your commission, and if possible, I hope you can wait for me for five days." To tell you the truth, I'm just getting started, and it's going to take a few days to get used to my strength. ”

"No problem, I wish you all a happy cooperation. Lanna smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Catherine: "Then let's go back to the inn first, and come back to you tomorrow, and go to the Adventurer's Guild to go through the formalities together." ”

"Don't rush back yet, some of our friends are preparing an open-air barbecue in the back tonight, let's come together." Catherine invited: "This kind of event, the more people there are, the more lively it is, and it can be regarded as getting acquainted with each other in advance." ”

"Well, okay. Lanna thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement amid Lamia's dissenting gaze, "This is the first time I've participated in this kind of event on land, so excuse me." (To be continued.) )
