Chapter Ninety-Six: As If It Was Yesterday
"It's rare, little liar. Pannis leaned against the door and waved at Christo: "Every time I see you, you have a new trick, the first time you lie on the chair, the second time you hide in the secret room with a cane, the third time you actually lie back on the bed, the next time I see you, where are you going to run? ”
"Next time, I'm guess you'll be looking for me in the coffin. Christo smiled and said, "Hello ladies, look at the dust you are all over, it can't be that you were caught by Renee just after you came back, haha, that's really sorry." ”
"It's okay, we should have arrived right away when we heard your call. Catherine led the girls to bow and salute together: "I am about to report to you, under your guidance, our mission has gone smoothly and has gained a lot." ”
"Since you have business, let's talk about it first. Odin and Antuin stood up together, and Odin said, "We're not going to stay for a short time today, so let's go first." Master, we will come to visit you again in a few days when we are free, I hope your body can get better as soon as possible, and the future of the City of Knowledge still needs your help to support it. ”
"Okay, you're all busy, let's go back first. Christo waved goodbye, "I'm not going to get up to see you off, Renee, and I'm going to see off the two presidents." ”
"I'll send it for you. Pannis put one hand on Antuin's shoulder, and the three of them walked out together: "Just let Renee rest and rest, in order to deliver a letter to us for you, we have been running back and forth for several days, and it has been very hard." ”
Out of the house, Pannis let go of his hand, and the three of them walked silently side by side in the courtyard, all the way to the gate, Odin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "You also came back in time, master...... I guess I can't hold it anymore. ”
"Well, I can see it too. Pannis's face was expressionless, and he lowered his head and said: "Christo, he is almost one hundred and seventy years old, although he has not yet reached the theoretical lifespan of two hundred years of goblins, but it can be regarded as a long-lived goblin. Fortunately, we rushed back, so that he could see the answers to the questions he was most concerned about before leaving, and it could be regarded as allowing him to sleep with peace of mind, if we didn't come back in time, it is estimated that we will regret it for a lifetime. ”
"Go back and stay with him, Kyle, I don't know when Christo will leave. Antuin pulled the hood of the robe on his head, covered his expression and said, "Her Majesty the Empress can't get out of her body, and she can't rush over, so you can send him off for Your Majesty." After all, you are his best friend, and he can leave a little happier with you by his side. ”
"I know. Pannis nodded and said lightly: "You guys go back first, if there is any emergency, if it is too late, I will inform you in time." By the way, Antuine, Vivien, who you value, may still be saved, and in a few days we will go to the Warcraft Forest to ask some questions to the Guardian Clan, if nothing else, she should be able to heal next time she comes back, and you, Odin, Freya are very powerful, worthy of being your child, if you continue like this, maybe you can become a rare special case in the human world where two generations are demigods. ”
"Then please take care of her more, I, as a father, can't control her. Odin shook his head with a wry smile and pulled Antuin out of the small courtyard with him. Pannis stood in front of the door, staring at the two closed doors for a long time, before he sighed deeply, and the long sigh seemed to contain countless indescribable feelings.
When Pannis returned to the house, the atmosphere seemed to be quite enthusiastic, and Catherine was telling Christo the story of the two months, starting with the encounter on the prairie, and telling it for nearly an hour before Sigurne finally left. Catherine was in charge of narrating, and Freya was on the side to supplement and liven up the atmosphere, but she also told the two-month experience very wonderfully, which made Christo listen very attentively. Because Renee was also on the side, Catherine did not explain Eva's identity, but the vague meaning in her words was easily understood by people like Christo, who had experienced more than 100 years of precipitation, and looked at Eva with strange eyes several times.
It wasn't until Catherine's account was over that Christo made an excuse and kept Renee out for a while before returning. After Renee left, Christo beckoned to Eva, who stood blankly for a moment before walking up to Christo. The old goblin took Aiwa's hand and squinted his cloudy eyes and looked at the blonde girl in front of him seriously, as if looking at his own child: "It is really beyond my expectation that the ancestors can achieve such an achievement. It's a shame that I was born 10,000 years late and couldn't follow in the footsteps of my ancestors and witness that miraculous moment. It's so great, it's simply the pinnacle of technology, and it's a shame that such technology can never be reproduced. ”
"Aren't you angry?" asked Eva calmly, "aren't you angry at all that I caused the collapse of the civilization created by your ancestors, or the extinction of your ancestors by the gods?"
"Oh, you are the most innocent of you, and I should apologize to you for my ancestors. Seeming a little tired, Christo let go of Eva's hand and leaned back on the pillow behind her with Freya's support: "As for the gods, according to your account, there is actually a problem on both sides. From the point of view of the ancestors, they were indeed victims, but from the point of view of the gods, their actions and decisions were completely understandable, and no matter who else they were, they would probably have made the same decision at that time. Therefore, as someone who has not experienced that era, I have no position to be angry with either side, let alone have the qualifications to evaluate them, but I can only say that it is an untimely unilateral war, although the result is painful. ”
The old goblin took the opportunity to ask Eva some questions about the goblin era, and Eva did not hide it, for these questions, he read the information from his memory and answered them one by one, these answers made the old man very satisfied, and forgot the passage of time for a while, and unconsciously, Renee had returned from outside. Only then did Christo lean on the head of the bed very tiredly, and said with a satisfied smile on his face: "Thank you, you have exceeded my commission, and I am very satisfied." ”
"Teacher, are you tired? Freya sat on the edge of the bed and asked worriedly, "Why don't we leave first, you can rest for a while, and I will come to see you tomorrow?"
"I'm really tired. Christo gasped a few times and said with a wry smile: "You guys go back first, I still have some things, I want to talk to old friends, so I won't delay your rest." ”
Although Freya was a little reluctant, she still pulled the others away according to the teacher's instructions. Before leaving, Catherine winked at Pannis, and said silently, "We will wait for you in the carriage." ”
Pennis nodded, and his eyebrows furrowed even more as he watched Christo let Renee go to rest first.
"Old friend. When everyone had left, the old goblin said to Pannis, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Unexpectedly, I also have a day when I lie in bed and can't move, and I always feel the footsteps of death approaching me little by little." Sometimes I always feel that my life is like a dream, maybe when I wake up from the dream, I find that I am actually still a child, this hundred years, just a fantasy in a dream, if this is really how good it would be. ”
"yes, how nice would it be if that was the case?" Pannis sat on the chair next to the bed, his eyes staring at the cabinet at the head of the bed, but his mind drifted away: "When I woke up, I found that we were still wandering around in the lost forest, but we were too tired during the day, so we slept for a long time, and when we woke up, we found that you were still young, Nelly was still there, Maya and Tya were still children, and Floral had not yet taken over as the elf queen, and everyone was still so free, except for fighting side by side every day, we were looking forward to the future, how good is that?"
"Do you remember that time?" Christo was also interested, his spirits perked up again, and he said excitedly: "Not long after the three of us entered the Lost Forest, we bumped into that demigod Thunder Tiger head-on. ”
"Of course I remember, hahaha, it was the most embarrassing thing we ever had. Recalling the original scene, Pannis burst into laughter: "Three legends, chased by a demigod thunder tiger for twenty kilometers, I don't know why it hates us so much." ”
"Actually, it was because I shot it in the body. Christo smirked and said, "I haven't told you, hahaha, that's my most accurate shot, I can feel the pain just by looking at it." ”
"It turned out that you did it. Pannis laughed, "I said why did it keep chasing us, and it was almost killed by you guy." ”
"But we still won. Christo said: "Your countermeasures have worked, and you have always managed to handle everything well, even in this unexpected situation." ”
"I've had times when I can't handle it well. Pannis shook his head and said, "It's like when I dragged you to the permafrost ice field, and suddenly encountered an ice storm, and you almost froze to death together." ”
"But in the end, we escaped safely. Christo said, "If it weren't for your suggestion, everyone would take turns to expand the field, and when everyone has warmed up in the field, go out for a run and then return to the field to warm up." If you hadn't come up with this solution, I'm afraid no one would have thought of it. ”
"When you're about to freeze to death, you can remember. Pannis laughed and said, "I wore the least that time, and I was the fastest to freeze to death, of course, I remembered it first." ”
The sun was setting outside the window, and the room was getting darker and darker. In the dimly lit room, two old friends sat opposite each other, reminiscing about the past. The memories of the past are so vivid, as if those good days were just yesterday. (To be continued.) )
