Chapter Thirty-Eight: Vivien's Question

"Where's Kyle?" The dragon had just landed in the cave, and before it could steady, a slender figure jumped down from the dragon's back: "Why did he run out on his own in such a hurry to call me?"

"On the way back. Catherine pointed to the forest below the mountain outside the lair, "I guess there's something important." ”

"Oh, coming back. The elf who jumped off the dragon's back suddenly stiffened, glanced at Catherine with great meaning, and showed a daffodil-like smile on her elegant and noble face, and said in a soft and warm voice: "Clever girl, you are Catherine who has always been on the lips of Pannis......?"

"I am Catherine, Knight of the City of Knowledge. The knight girl felt a burst of doubt in her heart, and directly had face-to-face contact with the former heroes and teammates of the object of worship, if it was in the past, she might have been so excited that she couldn't speak, but since she saw some things clearly, she found that even with these heroes, she could face them relatively calmly. It was only then that Catherine observed the legendary being for the first time, dressed in a pale green ankle-length dress, sandals woven of verdant leaves, and a gorgeous wreath of hundreds of flowers on her head. Catherine solemnly bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, thank you very much for being invited here to assist in our treatment, and we will always remember your kindness this time, and we will never dare to forget it." ”

"You don't have to be so polite. Vral smiled as noble as a queen, of course, she was indeed the queen of the family, and her noble smile was very much in line with her status: "Since it is Pannis's request, no matter how difficult it is, I will agree, let alone come to her house with Mina." And, you're Pannis's new friends. That's my friend, too, isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Always remember that this is too serious to be needed. ”

"You're back?" a figure flashed at the entrance to the cave, and Pannis appeared in the shadows. As soon as it appeared, it had a strong smell of blood. The girls looked up, his thick coat was splattered with blood, his hands and face, and even his hair were soaked with blood, and Pannis's eyes flashed with gloom and ferocity that had not yet completely faded. Nodding to the girls, he walked towards the elven queen: "Your Majesty, thank you, this time I want to borrow you and your wreath of life to use." ”

"I thought you called me here for a life-sharing ceremony. Vral's eyes flashed, and he seemed to become a little happy, and said with a smile: "I'm still strange, I have already told you secretly...... Well, I can't say that. ”

"I won't mention that yet, Your Majesty. You come with me. With his left hand, Pannis pointed to the metal fortress inside the cave: "And Lina and Vivien, you two come with you, Lady Mina, you and the others should wait outside, so that there are as few people inside as possible." ”

"You owe me a favor this time. Fural suddenly blinked mysteriously and whispered, "Do you still insist on calling me Your Majesty?" ”

"Alas, okay, okay. "Pannis was a real headache for Vral to be obsessed with the question of his title at such a time. Rubbing his forehead, he said, "Miss Floral, can you please come and help?"

"That's right. The corners of Vral's mouth curled, and she wrinkled her delicate nose cutely, and turned back to take Vivien's shriveled hand: "Let's go." Let's go in together, we've met before, remember, little girl. ”

"Well, I remember. Vivien nodded, "Eight or seven years ago, President Antoin took me to the Elven Court once. I have paid homage to Your Majesty, and you have also examined my body at that time, but the cause of the disease has not been found at that time. ”

"Yes, that time. Vral patted the mage girl's ruffled soft hat: "I didn't expect to meet again, and I didn't expect that in just a few years, you have dragged such a body and successfully promoted to the legendary level, I believe that if you can cure your illness, there will definitely be a place for you in the ranks of demigods in the future." ”

"Come, come in. Pannis let a few people into the metal fortress, and before closing the gate, he glanced at the three girls outside, nodded seriously, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, if I bring her in, I will do my best to bring her out intact, and I won't let you cry for her again." ”

Hearing Pannis's promise, Catherine's tense heart suddenly relaxed, her body went limp, and even with Freya's support, she still collapsed to the ground softly, as if she had thrown off her strong shell, buried her face in her knees, and cried in a low voice with her shoulders trembling slightly. Freya sighed and sat down slowly beside Catherine, putting her arm around her shoulders without saying a word, while Eva stood silently, recording what she saw with her eyes.

"How's it going, nervous?" Inside the fortress, Vivien was lying on the metal platform with her head on her side, a white silk cloth covering her shriveled torso, and Vral and Lina stood on the side of the platform, Vral was no longer smiling, as a creature of the forest and the gods of life, she would never treat life with a playful attitude. Lina held her hands on the edge of the metal table, as if she might be unsteady at any time if she didn't use her hands to support her, her originally fair skin was now even paler, and her pink lips were trembling slightly unconsciously, just like her hands. Standing on the other side of the metal platform, with a faint smile on his face, Pannis stroked the mage girl's short ponytail and asked in a low voice, "It's okay if you are nervous to say it in advance." ”

"Why should I be nervous? Of course, I know that your behavior is very dangerous, and in fact, you are not sure in your heart, you just went to experiment with those innocent monsters, hehe, but I am not nervous at all. Vivien tilted her head to look at Pannis's approaching face, rubbed Pannis's frowning brows with her deep hands, and said with a smile like a child: "I entrusted my life to you, so I have nothing to be nervous about, but you are the one who is really nervous." But it doesn't matter, anyway, His Majesty Vral is in the wreath of life, as long as it doesn't die directly, how can I leave a breath, plus Lina's healing magic, even if the operation fails, I won't die, right. ”

"Yes, you won't die, as long as there's a wreath of life. Floral tossed Vivien's hat aside, took the splendid wreath from the top of her head, and placed it on top of her head, hanging her hands on either side of the garland, and began to chant the prayer silently.

"So, I'm fine. Vivien shook her head, curiously feeling the strange touch of the wreath of life: "Don't worry about me, I really won't be nervous, you can start at any time, by the way, do you need me to do anything?"

"Alas. Pannis sighed, Vivien's head: "Thank you for being so strong, you don't need to do anything, just cancel all the puppet controls, and then close your eyes and rest for a while, and when you wake up, although the disease will not be cured, but the deterioration that threatens your life will all be gone." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. Vivien obediently closed her eyes and relaxed her whole body, but before she could completely undo the puppet's control, she asked, "Now, Pannis, is it okay to ask you a question?"

"Absolutely. Pannis was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Once you've healed me, you're ready to leave. Vivian closed her eyes and whispered like a dream: "You are no longer hiding many things that may cause associations, this is preparing to leave us all." Don't lie to me, you should know what I'm capable of, you can't fool me. ”

"Whew. Pannis's wrist flicked, he took a deep breath, and barely kept his voice calm: "Maybe, after all, whether you know some things or not, will make great changes between people, this is the inevitable result of all development, not that you can decide whether to leave or not." ”

"I don't understand such a serious question. Vivien opened her eyes, her big blue eyes looking up into Pannis's eyes, and asked softly, "Can you not leave?" It doesn't make any difference whether you know those things or not, no matter what happens, we don't want you to leave, we're used to you being by our side, we're used to seeing your shadow as soon as we turn around while moving forward, no one wants to go back to that kind of life without you, we will all be very miserable if you leave like this, so, it's good to stay, this is the hope of all of us, Lina thinks the same way, right, Lina. ”

"What?" Lina panicked, forcibly stood up straight, clasped her hands on her chest and said, "I didn't think so, but since you said so, I'll reluctantly cooperate with you." ”

"You see, that's what she thinks too. Vivien directly ignored Lina's awkward statement: "Don't go, stay." Can you bear to watch your eldest sister suffer? Can you bear that Freya can't find anyone to express her love? Can you bear to leave behind her love baby who is so clinging to you? Can you bear to let us go home and tell Anne and Fawn that their brother Pannis will never come back? We don't want to lose you, so let's stay and let everything be the same as before, okay?"

Pannis stood beside Vivien in a daze, stunned for a long time by Vral's strange gaze, and suddenly showed a wry smile, sighed and said, "This kind of thing, let's talk about it later." ”

Although Pannis's words sounded like a shirk, Vivien seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted, closing her eyes with a smile and letting everything in her body out of her control. (To be continued.) )
