"I'm Pannis. Pannis grinned strangely, "Hello Councillor Serra. ”

"Mr. Pannis?" Serra's face changed until she finally settled into an equally strange smile, "I always think Mr. Pannis is familiar, have we met somewhere?"

"Well, maybe. Pannis shrugged and said, "After all, I've been to Curland a few times before, and I know the brother of Councilor Serra's family, maybe when we came, we met from afar, who knows." ”

"Oh, so Pannis knows someone from our Golden Family, brother, I think about it, Clark is the only brother alive now, well, I see. Serra nodded meaningfully, "Is this the reason why everyone came to our Cullan to find Brother Clark?"

"No, we have other tasks. Pannis shook his head and said, "I didn't plan to go to Deep Valley City this time, I was going to turn directly from Chongshan City to Fillias Mountain, and our mission was there." ”

"Huh?" Serra looked at Pannis strangely, "Don't you know?

"What's the matter?" asked Pannis, surprised, "What request? Whose request? We didn't get anything." ”

"Maybe I'm wrong, I thought you were here for that. Serra said, "Brother should have arrived in Chongshan City by now, just for this purpose. About a month ago, my brother received a message asking for help from the Feather People Mountains, hoping that my brother would come over as a friend to help. I thought that given your relationship with those two ladies, the message would have been sent to you, well, maybe I missed it, or maybe those two ladies had other ideas. ”

Pennis frowned tightly, knocked on the low table beside him with some irritability, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what is going on?

"Well, it's a troublesome thing, it's unprecedented. Sera Masashi said: "It is said that many demonic beasts in the Death Forest have moved recently, and there are often demigod demonic beasts running out from the depths of the forest, and the direction of their impact happens to be the Feather Mountain Range. ”

"Doesn't this kind of thing happen every year?" Pennis said suspiciously: "Counting those two, there are a total of four demigods, and it is not very easy to solve this kind of problem, how can they still ask for help?"

"I don't know the specifics, only my brother knows the inside story. Serra said helplessly: "Actually, I went to negotiate in person this time also has something to do with this matter, my brother has not been recast since the axe collapsed more than a hundred years ago, and his original plan was to retire and not prepare to fight anymore." After receiving the two men's requests for help, he was ready to pick up the axe again, but he didn't have the right materials, so I took the opportunity of this negotiation to help him collect rare ores myself. Some rare ores are so difficult to identify that I can only rest assured that I will come by myself, and I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, which can be regarded as my bad luck. ”

"So......" Pannis touched his chin and thought as he said, "Do you think the attack on you has something to do with your mission to search for ore?"

"Don't worry, it's impossible. Serra denied it without thinking about it: "Because all the ores are there, I also had some suspicions just now, and I checked them on purpose, and there is no problem with each ore." ”

Serra didn't need to explain too clearly, Pannis already understood, if it was really as he thought, then the enemy didn't need to be obsessed with finding Serra to kill, just need to snatch the contents of those boxes. Thinking of this, Pannis breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It seems that it is very timely to help you this time, otherwise let Clark know that I didn't save his sister, and if I have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will definitely be scolded to death." ”

"Huh?" Serra was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to help out?" Brother Clark is already going. ”

"It's a pity. Pannis smiled bitterly and said: "I should go in any way, but I really can't help it, I also have a very important task to do here, and the same important thing cannot be delayed." ”

"Is this just to go to Fillias Mountain?" said Serra with some dissatisfaction, "What mission is so important that you even put aside the Winged Terran's urgent request for help?" there is nothing in Fillias Mountain, only a bunch of barren mountains, and a treacherous scar of the earth, you are not going to venture into the wounds of the earth, are you? Oh my God, that is crazy. ”

"Wounds in the Earth?" Catherine looked at Pennis and Vivien in confusion, "Why is this name so familiar?" ”

"Remember the dragon's mark in the Glittering Forest, it's the wound of the earth. Vivien leaned into Catherine's ear and explained, "At Dragon's Scar, he once mentioned the largest Earth Wound in the world of Yara, which was actually near Mount Philias. Before leaving, Pannith and I had speculated that the research center was probably buried in the depths of the Earth Wound, or at least related to the Earth Wound, so he kept mentioning the preparations for the underground adventure. ”

"Looks like you haven't told all of them yet. Serra said: "I advise you to think clearly, the danger there is that the geological environment is too complicated, and because of the darkness all year round, there are often areas shrouded in demonic energy, monsters and demonic beasts are mixed, and no one even dares to enter the cave dwarves." And the danger is on the one hand, the most important thing is that it is too deep inside, some people even speculate that the passages and caves inside can cover the entire Kulan, no, not only Kulan, but even a part of the Flash Forest, if you get lost in it, I'm afraid you won't want to come out again in this life. ”

"I know all of that. Pannis smiled faintly and said calmly, "However, there are always some things that you must do even if you know the danger." ”

"What kind of mission?" asked Serra, "so that you can't even care about your old friends, and you have to go to the wounds of the earth." ”

Pannis smiled and didn't speak, and gestured to Catherine with his eyes, and Catherine coughed lightly: "Councilor Serra, I'm Catherine, the leader of Nelly's adventure group, and these are all members of my team, and I think Mr. Bartow has already introduced them to you." ”

"I've heard of you. Serra nodded: "Recently, the adventure group that has been very famous has the highest proportion of legendary professions in the gold-level adventure group, even if you are not a person in the circle of adventurers, many of them admire you." And most importantly, your reputation can be considered the best among the adventurers, and you can almost catch up with Nelly and Kyle back then. ”

"Thank you, I'm moving forward with them in mind. Catherine thanked her politely, but the answer to Serra's question was very simple: "We were commissioned by Master Christo to go to Mount Fillias to find a goblin ruin, of course, this goblin ruin will also be related to the life safety of one of our teammates, but the specific content, because it involves the ** of the anti-Christo master, it is inconvenient to disclose too much." ”

"Oh, that's no wonder. Serra suddenly realized: "Both sides are good friends, so I can only choose the one who agrees first." However, I suggest you go and meet with my brother, who has explored a wound in the earth before, and may have some information to share with you. ”

"I see, we'll think about it. Catherine nodded gratefully in thanks, and asked rhetorically, "I wonder what Councillor Sierra plans to do in the future? The commission I talked to Mr. Barto has now been partially completed, and the escort part after that, do you think it will be canceled or continued? If it is canceled, we should set off now, after all, the sooner we arrive, the sooner we can complete the task." ”

"Your commission, Bato, told me too. Talking about the task, Serra also put on a professional expression and said seriously: "I agree with all the conditions he proposed, and as for the follow-up commission, of course, I still have to continue." After all, although I look normal now, my combat effectiveness has dropped to the bottom, and if I encounter those enemies again, there is no possibility of escape. But it's different if you can escort it, your adventuring group is strong enough to scare off anyone who pursues. ”

"As much as I would love to continue with the follow-up commissions and get a better reward, I really don't want to hide that the enemy is Captain Grace of the Shadow Hand, who has promised to give up the assassination. Catherine said, "With the tacit agreement of the Adventurers' Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Shadow Hand, those who quit will be severely punished if they break their promise to rejoin, and the guild will not defend them. So, I don't think it's very likely that they'll come back and continue to attack you. ”

"I'm not worried about elegance. Serra smiled wryly, "I'm worried about the other captain. Grace promised to quit, the man didn't promise, he could catch up at any time. ”

"It's a real problem. Catherine nodded, "Then we'll continue the mission and escort you to Chongshan City." But I don't quite understand, if the enemy's purpose is not to target the Winged Terrans, why should they chase you and kill you? Uh, sorry, if it has to do with the internal affairs of the dwarves, you don't need to tell me. ”

"No, you misunderstood, it has nothing to do with the clan, no one in the clan will want to assassinate me, at least not when my brother is still alive. Serra laughed very tangled: "The problem is not ours, the problem is on the other side of the other party we are talking to." The cooperation I came to talk about this time will be of decisive help to the other party's dukedom, and there are other people who don't want to see this duke suddenly throw off himself in terms of strength, so they can only find a way to sabotage the cooperation, and killing me is the most direct way to destroy, now you understand?"

"Political ......" Catherine shook her head and sighed deeply. (To be continued.) )
