Chapter 51: The Conspiracy of the Servants of God
"Huh?" Even with enthusiastic mental control, he was startled by Pannis's eyes, and his upper body that was kneeling shrank back slightly, and he subconsciously repeated: "The president said that it has something to do with the reopening of a door." ”
"I see. Pannis's eyes narrowed, hiding the knife-like gaze under his eyes, and a sneering smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Did they turn their plans to open the door because sacrifices always fail?" ”
"Pennis, do you understand?" asked Catherine, confused, "what door?"
"Death's door. Pannis replied in a casual tone, "Sigh at the door of death in the desert." ”
For a moment, the room was silent, no one spoke, not even the sound of breathing had stopped, and the empty room was eerily quiet, as silent as the void world after death. The five silver wolves lying around felt a strange feeling in their hearts, and at the same time raised their heads and looked around curiously, as if they couldn't understand why people suddenly became quiet, and the two little undead who were hiding and playing beside Catherine also noticed the change in atmosphere, and cautiously looked at the faces of their brothers and sisters to see if they were angry.
"Hehe, hehe, you must be joking, whew, it hurts. The two sections of the indulgent leg have been cleaned up, and Lina is adjusting the location of the broken blood vessels and tendons little by little with small tweezers with healing magic attached. At this time, Indulgence disobeyed the order and suddenly spoke, Lina looked natural and poked lightly at the section of the wound with the tip of the tweezers, and let out a scream of indulgence, but still insisted on finishing what she wanted to say: "This joke is not funny at all, hahaha, how can there be such a stupid creature who would want to reopen the world that was finally sealed by the heroes, impossible, haha, haha...... Ha ......"
No one responded, and he quickly indulged himself and couldn't laugh out loud, after all, this conclusion was actually very reasonable, even if it was just Pannis's speculation, it was easy to believe, not to mention that Pannis used a positive tone, and he was very sure.
"They...... They're necromancers. Catherine habitually played with her sideburns with her black hair, and sighed with a stiff face, "This is really worthy of what they can do." In fact, it should have been thought of a long time ago, whether it was a soul sacrifice to strengthen the power of the sleeping gods, or to reopen the door of death through this ritual, their ultimate goal was probably to make the world a paradise for the dead, and to reproduce the chaos of the return of the dead a hundred years ago. ”
"Pannis. Although she was strictly ordered to indulge and not to speak, Lina herself did not hold back her curiosity, and raised her head and asked, "How sure are you that this matter is true?"
"You should have them both go back and ask their president, I'm just guessing. Didn't Enthusiasm just say that he had been tracking it down recently?" Pannis shrugged, no longer seeing the shock and seriousness just now: "So he should know this kind of thing better than me." ”
"Ask the president. The enthusiastic and indifferent expression brought a little wry smile: "This kind of thing is not easy to ask." ”
"The president you're talking about isn't human. Pannis suddenly asked, "It's the thorn, it's the sandman." ”
"Well, how do you know?" Indulgence asked again under Lina's glare, "No one knows the origin of the Thorn Leader, do you really know the President?"
"Oh, I don't know, just guessed, after all, this is just the habit of the Shadow Hand. Pannis said: "Each generation of presidents codenamed Thorns is a sandman, a habit that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, but you don't know it. ”
"Yes...... Is that so?" looked at Pennis's face suspiciously, shook his head and didn't say anything more, just hiding the doubts in his heart.
"Okay, no movement for two hours. Lina gently patted her indulgent thigh, raised her head and wiped the sweat from her face, there will be no problem moving after two hours, but also be careful not to fight too fiercely for two months, after two months it will be completely normal. “
"It's fast. Indulgence touched the thigh, which was already intact, and moved his toes along the way, but in exchange for Lina's angry glare, she could only obediently keep her whole leg completely still, which made Lina withdraw her gaze.
Lina sneered and sneered, and she didn't know what she was laughing at, anyway, she sneered as if she was dissatisfied with the whole world and sorted out the tools for indulgence treatment, then took out a water bottle and washed her hands, and continued to jump to Catherine's side: "Big sister, it's your turn, I'll give you a thaw first." ”
"I think I can put it off for a while. Catherine said with concern, "Why don't you deal with your own leg first?" ”
"I think it's a pastor. Lina didn't care at all that Catherine was the eldest sister, and looked at Catherine like a dead fish on the whites of her eyes: "Or am I mistaken, you are the priest?"
"Good, good. Catherine surrendered with a smile and a smile: "You have the final say, come on." ”
"I'm running out of magic. Lina pressed her hand to Catherine's frozen legs, which were already a little blackened, and then explained in a low voice: "Don't look at my legs scary, in fact, there is nothing but pain, and you can delay for a while, but you are different." If you wait until you have healed yourself and recovered your magic before giving you treatment, I'm afraid it will be too late, and then you will have to cut off all the muscles in your legs layer by layer, maybe all the way to the innermost fascia, the pain is much more intense than what I am suffering now, and you don't want to bear it for no reason. ”
"You're right. Although the news she had just received made her feel heavy, Catherine still patted Lina's head like a child, although Lina shook her head in disgust and shook off Catherine's hand, but the movement of her hand was a little brisk, as if she was happy. Catherine smiled helplessly at Lina's performance, and then continued to say to the enthusiasm and indulgence: "Since the cultists have such a dangerous plan, why haven't they heard any measures from the major forces and powerhouses on the Yala Continent?"
"Two reasons, the first is that even if this matter has been carried out until now, it is impossible to determine whether the other party is aiming to reopen the door, everything is speculation, and it is impossible to deal with it together as the various races did a hundred years ago. Besides, even if they want to deal with it together now, there is no leader who makes all the strong people willing to obey the dispatch like Nelly and Kyle-sama. Indulgent spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Second, the world is so big, no one knows where the cultists will hold their rituals, and we can find this place because of the fact that the assassin has been sending people to search and analyze information for more than half a year, plus a little luck. If you want to replicate this result, I'm afraid it's very difficult. ”
"Actually, there is a third. Enthusiastically added: "The third is, how do you and I know that those strong people have not started to investigate? Just like if Lord Thorn doesn't give us a direct order, I'm afraid we won't know this news by now, and other strong people may be the same, and they have already secretly targeted this group of people." ”
"Yes, those strange demigods, they always do things so mysteriously. Indulgence also echoed: "It didn't happen, and no one would know what they were thinking, so we don't need to be too anxious, there are still many people from all races who participated in that operation alive, and they must pay more attention to this matter than we do, so you don't need to be so nervous at all, everything is just like before." ”
"Well, when you can contribute, you can do more. As if he had nothing to do with him, Pannis was cooking dinner seriously, and Marcia sat with her knees crossed without surprise, although the internal burst wounds on her arms and legs had not yet been treated, but it did not affect her expression and wait for the meal to start. Pannis rubbed the golden olive sauce stuck to the spoon on a piece of brown bread, handed it to Marcia beside her, and then said to Catherine, "As for the rest, it's useless to worry so much. ”
"Well, maybe you have a point. Catherine nodded, accepting everyone's opinions, but asked, "What about now?" ”
"I don't know. Indulgent and helplessly said: "I'm afraid no one knows except for that group of cultists." However, looking at the performance of the necromancer before, it should have a lot of impact. When I came, the elder also said that ruining the ceremony might delay the other party's plan to a great extent, and I don't think there would be anything wrong with that. ”
"That's good. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "Our world still has time to prepare, and it will not be attacked as defenseless as last time." ”
"What are you talking about?" Vivien sat up without warning, "What was attacked?"
"You're finally awake. Catherine said reassuringly, "How's it going, have you found your way?"
"It's not that fast. Vivien shook her head, but was not frustrated: "But I've figured it out, in as little as a month, hehe...... As for you and Lina, you should have gained a lot. ”
"It's not as good as you, but it's going to be fast, and it's definitely okay within a year. Lina withdrew her hand from Catherine's lap and stretched herself to lie on the ground: "No more magic, rest." ”
"It seems that this battle has been successful. Vivian curled the corners of her mouth proudly, if you look closely, you can find that the depths of her eyes are constantly beating with magical flames: "The elixir of 200,000 gold coins is really not wasted. ”
In an instant, predictably, Catherine's face fell, with an expression on her face that was about to cry, and she covered her head and wailed: "I think if it is converted into gold coins for me, I will be faster." ”
"Bang bang. Seeing that Vivien was also awake, Pannis clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "After returning to the Principal's tribe tomorrow, I will be away for a while, about a month." ”
"What?" asked Catherine, "Something to do?"
"I'm going to go a little further north. Pannis explained, "Go to a large tribe in the north. ”
"Understood. Catherine nodded, "What do we need to avoid?"
"Well, that's not necessary, it's just that I haven't been to the grassland for a long time, so I want to pay tribute to two old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. Pannis smiled with a complicated expression: "Of course you are willing to come together, it is not easy to come to the grassland, if everything goes well on the road, you can just catch the most lively horse herding festival over there." ”
"That's it. Catherine was very happy about Pannis's attitude that many things were no longer hidden after he almost lost his temper this time, and there was a smile between her eyebrows: "Enthusiasm and indulgence of you two are also here, your current state, let you go back to a place like the City of Innocence, I can't agree." ”
"That's what you want. The two ladies in the shadows looked at each other and smiled.
"And fawn and Anne. Catherine said, "You two too, don't worry, I've figured out how to disguise the two of you, so let's have a good time together." (To be continued.) )
