Chapter 38: Lina's Courage
There was silence in the small courtyard of the inn, and the rhythmic sound of insects sounded one after another, adding a bit of vitality to the courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis inn was chosen by Pannis, and now that I think about it, it must have been chosen according to the identity of the woolen group, so that the locals will not look so obtrusive. The inn is very large, except for a three-storey main building in the middle, there are seven or eight separate small courtyards similar to villas on both sides of the hotel, each courtyard has a house for a large number of guests to rent, slightly more expensive than the apartment-type rooms in the main building, but at Pannis's insistence, it is not unacceptable. It is precisely because of the choice of such a detached house that Pannis and Catherine are relieved to let the two little undead run around the room, as long as they do not run out of the yard, they are generally not in danger of being discovered by others.
When Lina finished changing her clothes and walked out of the bedroom refreshingly, the living room that was still lively just now was empty, and the girls had already returned to their bedrooms to make up for sleep, and even the Winged Twins and Dilly the Manticore found an empty room to get into, and no one questioned the behavior of these three people, of course, even if it was proposed, it would not have any effect.
Facing the unmanned living room, Lina didn't show surprise, but just smiled with relief, hung up the mace and the magic book, and walked out leisurely. When I opened the door, the sun was shining outside, and the girl's mood seemed to be as sunny as outside, and I couldn't find a little haze on her face, as if the pressure brought about by getting closer and closer to the world in my memory in the past few days had completely disappeared with last night's sleep. The girl almost didn't carry anything with her today except for the hammer and the magic book, and all kinds of novels that she had never left for many years lay quietly in the inn with her luggage, and she walked out of the hotel with her own hands empty-handed, with her truest true face.
"The temple area where the earth temple is located is a very beautiful place, and in the center of the temple area, there is a very large garden, after the prayer when I was a child, my sister and I liked to look at the flowers in the garden, it was really beautiful, but I think you should know better than me. Standing outside the gate of the inn, it was clear that there was no one around, but Lina whispered into the air: "Well, I haven't eaten anything in the morning, I'm feeling a little hungry, so come with me to eat something first." Don't hide, since I've been talking to you for so long, it means that I already know that you must be there, so come out quickly. ”
"Hey, hey. Pannis scratched his head, emerged from a shadow on the side of the road, and said with a smirk: "Your alertness is getting higher and higher, haha, you have discovered such a concealment, it's amazing." ”
"Snort. Lina rolled her eyes and sneered, "You can't guess what I'm going out for, but the eldest sister is that kind of behavior, and Vivien and Freya are the same, which can only mean one thing, that is, you have already decided, and you will accompany me." Well, only if you go with you, can you let the eldest sister go to sleep with confidence, but don't you need to make up for sleep? The most tired person last night was you, what really surprised me was this, with the character of the eldest sister, I would rather go with my eyes reluctantly open, than let you go without sleep for two days and one night. Oh, I see, hehe, the eldest sister's sacrifice this time is really big. ”
"What sacrifice?" Pannis touched his nose and protested dissatisfiedly: "It's obvious that I was beaten and forced to not sleep during the day, how did it become her sacrifice, it's too unfair." ”
"You just play stupid, stupid. Lina pursed her lips disdainfully, the corners of her mouth curled up with her hands behind her back, she looked in a better mood, and walked forward without looking back: "Let's go, accompany me to eat something first, and then let's go to the Earth Temple to pray to the goddess." ”
"I'd rather find a tree to sleep on. Pannis said reluctantly, but he followed Lina closely, refusing to leave a single step. Lina pursed her lips and smiled, reached out to hold Pannis's arm, the two leaned close together, like a couple, intimately walked towards the depths of the city, really touched Lina's arm, Pannis felt that the priest girl's body has been trembling slightly, obviously, the girl is not as calm as it appears, although she has decided to face the past, but in her heart, in fact, it is still full of fear and cringe.
"Don't laugh at me. Lina was also very aware of her state, knowing that she couldn't hide from Pannis's senses, and gently punched him: "I didn't turn my head and ran now, I'm already very courageous." ”
"I understand, I won't laugh at you. Pannis smiled and patted Lina holding his hand: "You accompanied me all the way before, so let me accompany you on the road after that." Looking back now, the past is not as terrible as imagined, whether it is sin or mistake, no matter what it is, as long as you have the courage to face the past, you will have the opportunity to correct your mistakes and atone. ”
"Yes, as long as you dare to face the past. Lina muttered and repeated, "You're right, heh, you know, you actually gave me the courage to face the past." Do you remember the way you looked when we first met, watching you go from that state of self-destruction step by step to the present, I'm afraid no one can understand the difficulty of this process except a few of us. So I've been thinking lately, maybe I should be like you, get out of the protection of those friends, and rely on myself to face everything that has happened. ”
"It's not the courage I gave you, it's the courage we bring to each other. Pannis shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be hiding in my own world, with endless regret all day long." So, you have fulfilled your promises, and you have really brought me salvation and given me the opportunity to try my best to make amends for my sins. ”
"We don't know what happened to make you so miserable. Lina said softly: "Of course, we don't need to know, the eldest sister once told us in private that what you are walking now is the last section of your road to salvation, and because of this, you are like now, desperate and courageous to face all difficulties and dangers, so, I also figured it out, this adventure is too dangerous, if you don't face your past now, maybe you will never have a chance again." In this case, it is better to take the initiative, so that at least before I die, I can comfortably tell myself that I have no regrets in my life. ”
"Don't worry, you won't die. Pannis exhaled deeply, shook his head, and said, "As long as I live, I won't let you die in front of me, and I won't make a second mistake." (To be continued.) )
