"Looks like he'll finally be able to go home and have a look. The corners of Pannis's mouth curled, and he seemed to see the manticore lion who yelled that I wanted to go home every day, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile: "I just don't know if he can adapt to such a dry environment, I'm afraid for him, the upper layers are the most suitable places." ”

"Do you know that demigod hero?" Lina asked curiously, "It is said that he has always lived in the Death Forest and rarely appears in the human world, how do you know him?"

"Do you still think it's a big dog you've seen?" Pannis was even more surprised, and asked rhetorically, "You never saw that it was actually a manticore with a shrunken body and a hidden tail?"

"Big dog?" Lina blinked, searched in her memory for a long time, and then suddenly said, "The one I saw in Angus Village? and then I saw it again in the orc grassland, and that was the manticore?"

"So you really think he's a dog. Pannis laughed and said, "I thought you would have recognized it." ”

"I've never seen a manticore, so how can I know him. Lina was diverted from the topic by Pannis, who seemed to have forgotten her question, and Pannis breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that her hidden past had not been discovered. But when he looked up, he met Catherine's strange gaze, and asked very weakly, "What's the matter? Why do you look at me like that?"

"I'm waiting for you to explain, didn't you just say to sort out your thoughts?" Catherine smiled strangely: "Half a day has passed, have you sorted it out?"

"What are you doing over there?" Vivien finally finished recording the phenomenon and inferences of spatial overlap, closed her notebook and stood up, and found everyone gathered at the edge of the camp to look out, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything going on that I don't know?"

"Looking at the Manticore. Freya replied, "Would you like to come and see it?" ”

"Oh, look at the manticore. Vivien shook her head uninterestedly, and just put away her notebook, she suddenly reacted and rushed over: "What are you looking at? Manticore?

There was another commotion, and it wasn't until Vivien had seen enough and asked clearly, that everyone returned to the center of the camp and sat down again, and Pannis was silent for a moment, and said to Ike: "Dwarf brothers, if nothing else, this time our journey should be considered to be the end, as I said before, I will trouble you to return to Chongshan City by yourself." ”

"I think so. Ike wasn't surprised, and nodded, "I heard you talk to Katherine Knight just now, so I guess you should have found a way to enter the target." But don't you really need me to wait here for a few days? The roads in the underground world are complicated, and I'm worried that if I leave you here, you'll get lost when you return, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of here for the rest of your life. ”

"Don't worry, we're not going to be here anymore. Pannis smiled and shook his head, "If nothing else, we will go straight back to the Scar of the Earth when we leave, if you are really not at ease, you can enter the last camp before the Scar of the Scar and wait for us, maybe we will arrive before you." And even if there is an accident, it doesn't matter if we have to return from here, my identity as a pathfinder is not in name, I remember the way we came very clearly, the only problem is to jump down the pool, but I have already found the way to the fourth floor by the way, so all the problems are solved. ”

"Well, if you insist. Ike thought for a moment and agreed, "I'm more relieved that you're leading the way, so let's say goodbye now, I'll leave first, so as not to see your employer's secret." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ike. Catherine gave a knightly salute to Ike very seriously, and said seriously: "According to the rules, we shouldn't let you return alone, it's our fault, and when we return to Chongshan City, we will definitely apologize to you." ”

"Hahaha, don't say that. Ike held his beard and laughed, "This is a condition that has been negotiated before departure, and there is nothing unruly about your approach." And don't underestimate me, as an explorer, I often travel alone in the underworld, so I don't need to worry about it at all. Okay, little girls, I'll go first, but this time it's a pity, with the demigod Pannis, I wanted to go to the ninth floor to explore more areas, but it seems that there is no chance. ”

"There will be a chance. Pan Niss said: "I promise you, after we have solved some of the most pressing problems, I will come to Chongshan City to find you, let's go deeper together for a period of time, and try to accompany you to the ninth layer as much as possible." ”

"I don't dare to think about this, it will take at least a few years or even more than ten years to walk through the ninth layer, it is too big. But I remember what you promised me, and you must keep your promises. Ike shook his head vigorously, picked up his backpack, and strode out of the woods: "I'm waiting for you in our last camp, I hope you don't make me wait too long, you must come to see me safely, haha, goodbye." ”

Catherine waved her hand and watched Ike go away, until Ike's back disappeared from sight, then sat down again and said, "Okay, Ike has also left, now you can tell me, what stupid thing have we done?"

"The stupidest thing we did was that we shouldn't have come here at all. Pannis smiled wryly and said, "I just figured it out that we were wrong from the beginning, and we shouldn't have entered the Traces of Earth. ”

"What do you mean?" Catherine asked, puzzled, "Are you saying that the Goblin Empire's research center isn't here?"

"Remember what Metis told me?" Pannis sighed, "here, but not here." ”

"Don't learn from the clergy. Catherine said angrily, "Be clear, and speak in a way I can understand." ”

"I'll try to keep it simple. Pannis held out his hand to Vivien, "Activate the Goblin Cipher Disk and accessories, and give me the translated manuscripts." ”

Vivien nodded, handed the manuscript to Pannis, and quickly activated the goblin code disk, and the content that she had seen countless times was projected into the air again, Vivien frowned and said, "I probably guessed what you think, you think that the research center and the world we are in are not in the same space at all, right?" ”

"That's pretty much what it means, and I just saw this ramp when I suddenly understood it. Pannis nodded, quickly adjusted the projected map to the vicinity of Fillias Mountain, pointed to the green highlighted area around Fillias Peak, and said: "When we started to look at the map, we all naturally thought that the target was within this range, as for why there was no exact location of the target, the result of our discussion was that on the one hand, it was for confidentiality, and on the other hand, because we felt that those who were qualified to enter the research center should know its exact location very well." That's why we stupidly pounced here, and after making sure that there was no surface, we went headlong into the ground. ”

"Yes, that's right. Catherine nodded slightly, "Go on." ”

"After coming in, I think we all found out the problem, the demonic beasts here are too strong, and if the goblins build the research center here, how many researchers will not be enough to die. Pannis continued, "Then I saw the ramp in my confusion, and I thought of the overlapping of spaces, and I remembered some interesting things that my fanatical friend who studied space told me before, some of which were about space technology in the age of goblins. So I understood, the goblins didn't mark the exact location of the research center? No, in fact, they did, this large green area is the location of the research center, including a part of the Phillias Mountain, dozens of kilometers of area, all belong to the research center, that is, we have been in the research center all the time, but no one can see it. ”

"I see. Vivien thought about it while adjusting it on the goblin code disk: "The goblins have established an overlapping space in this large area, no, no, no, I think it's the opposite, they first built a huge research center in an artificial space or a stable half-plane, and then used strange space technology to forcibly overlap this artificial space with the real space in this area, which is indeed the best way to hide." But if we do, what about the entrance to the space? If we can't find the entrance, how do we get into the research center?"

"There is no entrance, and there is no need for an entrance. Pannis said, "As for the method of entering the research center, hehe, we are already inside the research center, so why do we need any access method." ”

This sentence is very similar to our style of speaking. Lina applauded and exclaimed, "It's the same as if you say it and don't say it, it makes people seem to understand, but in fact they don't understand anything, Pannis, are there many clergy among your friends?" ”

"Remember this passage?" Pennis ignored Lina's teasing, and flipped the translation manuscript in his hand to the middle part: "This inexplicable text, saying that it is an oath but not like an oath, saying that it is a hymn but not like a hymn, except that you can understand that you can enter the research center with a password disk, I don't understand anything else. ”

"Remember. Vivien nodded, "You suspected it was a spell to open the door, but after reciting it several times, there was no response at all. ”

"You read it again here. Pannis said.

"Hereby, in the presence of the Supreme Guiding Disk, I swear to the World Joint Conference and the royal families that we will abide by the confidentiality agreement......" Vivien held the manuscript and read it in a low voice, but the cipher disk did not respond.

"Do you think the goblins of more than 10,000 years ago could speak the lingua franca?" Pannis quipped, "and still be able to speak so standardly." ”

"I'm not familiar with the ancient goblin language, so I can only read but not speak. Vivien tossed the manuscript back to Pannis, pouting, "Read it yourself." ”

Pannis shrugged, opened the manuscript and began to read aloud, speaking slowly and with frequent pauses, but the pronunciation was standard enough. As he finished reading the last syllable, the girls felt a flower in front of them at the same time, and in the next moment, the world had changed. (To be continued.) )
