"That's what Master Christo said?" In the Western-style pavilion at No. 6 Fox Street, five adventurers gathered in a small cozy living room, and the three young girls listened to Pannis's detailed narration with different expressions, until Pannis repeated Christo's last request to change the pronoun, Catherine muttered: "So, Master, he just wants to find out the reason for the destruction of the goblins?" This is a bit dangerous, if the goblins really perished not because of divine punishment, but because of something in the research center, then if we also came into contact with those things, would it ......"

The morning sun shines through the bright windows of the Western-style pavilion into the living room, leaving a grid-like spot of light around the coffee table. Five people sat around the coffee table in a semicircle, enjoying the warmth of home that they had not seen for a long time.

In the mansion, the two little undead are still in the basement, whether they are children or the undead, they are very sleepy, and the two of them are still sleeping happily. Since they were each picked up by Catherine, the two children who have been lonely for decades have regained the feeling of home for the first time, with new friends, a new family, no worries, no longer lonely, and even sometimes they can put on puppet costumes and be taken to the street by the two merchant sisters next door to play together, this carefree life makes the two little ones feel very happy, and the little banshee Anne sometimes even forgets her desire to see her parents, and just wants this life to continue.

Pansies and mimosas also feel satisfied. The children of the City of Innocence have never been able to adjust to life outside, but the two maid sisters find themselves gradually adapting, perhaps because of a few good masters. Adapt to the life of the outside world,The most critical period of time is the initial run-in period,The weak two sisters during this time,No matter what overreaction to the masters because of habits, they can't cause harm to the masters,The owners also understand and don't blame them for this,And the relatively closed environment of the foreign pavilion makes them have little opportunity to contact with the outside world,These reasons add up,Let them gradually adapt to the life in the foreign hall,In the hearts of the two maid sisters,More than ten years of darkness in the city of innocence is slowly moving away,A new world is gradually filling their hearts。 Now the sisters will often have a heartfelt smile on their faces, which is an expression of true feelings, and they will no longer face the strong with a self-protective obedient smile as before.

Their changes make Rachel and Nicole, who were entrusted with the care of Catherine and the others in their absence, very happy, and sometimes even relieved that they can go out shopping alone when they are less crowded. Just like now, when they found out that the masters were coming home, the maid sisters were very excited, and took the initiative to go to the market to make purchases, to prepare a sumptuous feast to celebrate the return of the masters.

Therefore, there are only five members of the adventure group in the current foreign pavilion, on the coffee table, a pot of freshly brewed black tea is placed in the middle, five small teacups waft out of the steam, the air in the living room, filled with the sweet smell of freshly baked biscuits, and the mellow smell of black tea, this comfortable environment makes people in the living room always feel lazy. Although the environment is indeed comfortable, the topics discussed by several people are not so comfortable.

"No, the goblins perished because of divine punishment. Lina's face was not so good-looking, and her face was a little stiff and said: "The gods once personally admitted that it was more than eighty percent of the gods who joined forces to send down divine punishment, and within two hours, the goblin clan was exterminated, and only tens of thousands of goblins who were strong enough and lucky enough survived at most, so it would not be wrong to perish in divine punishment." ”

"However, Master Christo has said that there is no such thing as a great war that can destroy the world. Catherine asked, puzzled, "In that case, what is the reason for God's punishment?"

"Playing with life wantonly, this reason is enough. Lina had a cold face, not knowing whether she remembered the dangerous experience in the underground of Angus Village before, or her dissatisfaction with the behavior of the goblins, in short, she said angrily: "Modified creatures without scruples, what do they regard as living beings?" Even if the other party is a monster, it is still life, no, it is also a part of the Yara world, we can use it, we can kill, we can domesticate, we can use them for experiments, even if it exterminates a certain race, it doesn't matter, because these are natural behaviors, and they belong to reasonable competition in survival. However, for the sake of their own research, the goblins to transform life and distort the origin of life is a blasphemy against the creator Yara, and any god or even any priest regards Yara as the supreme father, and this blasphemy against Yara is enough to attract divine punishment. ”

"No, it's not enough. Catherine shook her head and retorted: "Don't forget, what you and Pannith saw when they went to Angus Village shows that their means of transforming demonic beasts are very mature, although I don't know why, those demonic beasts have disintegrated themselves, but it can be confirmed that they have perfect combat effectiveness and are very adaptable to their new characteristics, which is enough to show that this kind of research and transformation behavior of goblins has lasted for a long, long time." If this was really the reason, the divine punishment would have come down a long time ago. ”

Lina, as a clergyman, was very angry at this act of blaspheming her life, but she had not lost her cool, thought for a while Catherine's words, and nodded: "Eldest sister, what you said is also reasonable, then why do you think they were exterminated?"

"It's scary if you don't know. Catherine smiled bitterly and said, "If they know any secrets or touch some taboos that shouldn't be touched, and we find out by accident, I'm afraid we won't end up much better than the goblins of the Second Age." ”

"What do you mean, big sister. Lina asked rhetorically, "Why don't we go?"

"How is it possible, you must go. Catherine said: "Just be mentally prepared, don't touch the things that shouldn't be touched, don't look at the things you shouldn't see, we just need to find out the names of the projects that the goblins are working on at the time and show them to Master Christo, and the master will naturally be able to see what's wrong, maybe we can know when we look at it." In this way, we will only know the reason for their demise, but we will not know the details of the specific content of this reason, so that we will be safe. ”

"It's a good idea. Pannis nodded from the side, "But the stakes are still high." ”

"What mission can be risk-free?" Catherine shook her head with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Compared to our gains, no matter how high the risk is, it is worth it." I decided this for everyone, rest at home for three days, and be fully prepared. Since the research center is underground, let's do it according to the preparation of the underground adventure, in the past six months, Vivien has prepared a backpack with the same effect as hers, eight times the capacity of the nested weight loss circle, so bring everything that may be used. Pannis, it's up to you to get ready, no problem. ”

Pannis didn't answer directly, his fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair and pondered for a while, before nodding and saying, "I probably already have a plan, I'll plan it in detail today, and I'll give you the list tomorrow morning, and we'll discuss the details of the list." ”

"No problem, it's up to you to decide, and the professional stuff should be left to the experts. Catherine waved her hand absently and continued to assign tasks: "Lina, your task is the heaviest. You have to spend these three days searching the library, and from all the novels and historical legends, find out the content that mentions the area of the Fillias Mountains on the Darnais Plateau of the Kurlan Kingdom, and try to be as detailed as possible, let's study it carefully on the way, maybe we can narrow down the search. ”

"Okay. Lina closed the novel on her lap and carefully wiped the cover of the crust and set it aside: "There is no one who knows the library better than I am, and it is best for me to search for materials in this area." ”

"Here's Freya. Catherine said: "We basically walk in a straight line, but there are also nearly 3,000 kilometers of travel, and if you want to take a carriage, I am afraid it will take more than two months, which is too long." But fortunately, now Freya has joined, if you drive a magic car, two cars can be solved, and then Vivien, Freya and Pennis will drive, and they can be rotated when needed, so that if you work hard, you can arrive in about twenty days, even if you encounter an emergency on the way, it will not take more than thirty days. So, Freya's mission, go to your teacher to borrow a magic car, and then tune it to the best with the one at home, so that they don't break down on the road. As for the route forward, Pannis, after you have made a preparation plan, let's study the route and try to choose a path that is easy to take. ”

"Actually, if you want, we can take a floating boat over, and it will only take fifteen days at most. "As for the ticket, don't worry, since the last accident, in order to protect the route, the business federation will spend a lot of money to temporarily hire three legendary professionals to protect the safety of the ship before each voyage in order to protect the route, before the hidden danger is lifted, so that the five of us can not only get free tickets, but also have a certain income." ”

"This ......" Catherine was obviously very moved, but after taking a test, she shook her head and said: "Forget it, since the last accident, I have a psychological shadow about the behavior of flying into the sky, and I think it is safer to spend a few more days by land than to take a floating boat." ”

"Haha, then by land. Catherine looked timid for the first time, but the object of her timidity was flying, and Pannis and Lina laughed almost at the same time, in exchange for Catherine's eyes.

"Finally, Vivien. Catherine said, "The situation we encountered this time is unknown, so Vivien, you should try to prepare all kinds of potions, maybe when you will use them." ”

"I have a question. Vivien remained silent the whole time, and everyone thought she was wandering again, but her reaction at this time showed that she had been listening.

"I want to ask everyone, what's in that institute? there's gold? there's a collection of books, there's a beautiful woman, there's a chance to find a new relationship?" Vivien's eyes were as calm as water, and without asking a single question, she crossed over a person's face: "Or do you think I'm just a fool?" )
