Chapter 57: The Sacrifice
Look at each other.
Voral's pale green eyes were like a pool of lake water, and the clear pupils reflected the shadow of Pannis, and the perceptive eyes seemed to see through the laughter on his face the exhaustion, pain, and vicissitudes of life that he hid behind the mask. At this moment, Vral felt his heart ache, as if it had been torn apart by a pair of hands.
"They all told me that when I saw you again, you were doing well and much happier than before. Vral sighed softly, and the wildflowers growing around her feet also felt her emotions and hung their heads: "Are they all cheating on me, or do they not know you at all?
"Heh, I'm happier than before. Pannis chuckled under his breath: "There is nothing happier than recognizing yourself step by step and reminiscing about the pain of the past little by little." ”
"You...... Alas. Fural's eyes lit up as he slowly walked up to Pannis, his finger lightly tapping his finger on Pannis's heart. Emerald green light shot out from her fingers and fell on Pannis's body, and the breath representing the vitality of life continued to brush over Pannis's body, washing away the tiredness of his body and mind: "Come back to the royal court with me, that is where you belong." ”
"You should know that it can't be. Pannis shook his head and looked into Vral's eyes: "I told you back then, everything is different, my ...... Her Majesty. ”
"Why?" Vral took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the trembling of her fingers, but the trembling voice betrayed the waves in her heart: "Yes, a hundred years ago, I couldn't fight her, and I won't fight with her, I will only wish you happiness." But, now that Nelly is gone, a hundred years have passed, how long are you going to live in memory?"
"I'm sorry for her. Pannis smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe one day, I will pay for the sins I have committed, and then I will come out of my memory, hehe, I have started to walk now, don't you know?"
"Okay. Vral gritted his teeth and said, "I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you to come out one day." Wait another 100 years? Wait another 1,000 years? Don't try to use this excuse to get rid of me, as long as I live for a day, you can't do it. ”
"Why bother. Pannis sighed, "Why waste your long life on me......?"
"Do you want to make any excuses again?" Vral stared at Pannis's eyes with his face on his face, and exhaled with the scent of daffodils: "It's useless, I recognized you a hundred years ago, even if I held a ceremony to share half of my life with you." Now, you don't have to think you can use these interfaces anymore. ”
"Well, whatever you want. Pannis rubbed his forehead, he really didn't have the energy to continue arguing, and sighed and said, "If one day you find that your efforts have been in vain, don't regret it." ”
"Tut-tut, I should be secretly happy. "Yes, Vral has said that to this point and refused. "Even Sister Nelly's soul would be angry when she saw it. "What a bad man. "Flar, if I were you, I'd beat him up. "And then kick him away. "That's how this kind of man should be treated. ”
"Hey, you two. Pannis glared at the Wingman sisters who were trying to ease the atmosphere by making trouble, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't follow the coaxing. ”
"Hey, who told you to talk to yourself. "Yes, yes, leave us alone. "And the little lion, you don't pay attention. "This is a lady's revenge, tremble in the lady's anger. ”
"Alright, two little ladies, don't make trouble. Pannis, one left and one right, rubbed the hair of the Winged Man sisters: "It's late, let's get down to business, this is his grave?"
"Yes. Vral turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes slightly, and when he turned back, he was back to normal: "Karl the bear is buried at our feet." ”
"Why are you here?" asked Pennis suspiciously, "With his status and achievements, he is fully qualified to be buried in the Heroic Spirit Land of the Orc Ancestor Temple, how can he only be buried in an unknown corner of this hometown land?"
"Because he didn't think he brought the Finch Shaman out alive, and because he thought it was a shame to have a human woman die for the sake of the world, he was ashamed to earn the title of hero for himself. Vral said in a low tone, "So he entrusted Maya and Hya to him before he died, leaving no tombstones, because he did not have the face to face the souls of his ancestors." ”
"Heh, you idiot. Pannis smiled in dismay, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and pulled out a couple of sealed bottles, the spirits he had asked for from a tribal leader. Pry open a bottle and sprinkle it directly on the ground, and the rich wine immediately steamed upward, so that more than a dozen sides nearby could smell the aroma of wine: "Of course you can't rob Nelly, when you need to sacrifice, who can compete with Nelly? Nelly must be the first." ”
"You know that, too. Vral stood solemnly behind Pannis, put his left hand on his shoulder, and whispered, "Then why do you call yourself a sinner?"
"I'm not the same as Carl. Pannis shook his head and said, "I'm because of other things, don't guess anymore, I'm not ready to say it right now." ”
"Whatever you want. Vral sighed again, took the wine bottle handed by Pannis, sprinkled it on the grass, and whispered: "Although we have only met once, but in the most dangerous moment, we are comrades-in-arms who trust each other with life and death, and I can't come to see you when you die, I'm sorry, I hope your soul can return to the hunting ground of your ancestors, and turn into a wolf soul to run on the grassland forever." ”
There was a loud bang, and several bottles of wine were spilled on the ground by several people, and even Dilly the manticore-tailed lion spilled a bottle on the ground. After spilling five bottles of wine, the rich smell of wine made Friar and the Wingman sisters take a few steps back one after another before they barely opened their eyes. Pannis didn't react, but opened the last bottle, raised his head and poured a big sip, and a string of orc words came out of his mouth fluently: "My orc brother, my old friend, when I drank for the last time, I obviously promised you that when the problem of the undead is solved, I will go back to the grassland to drink with you, but I didn't expect that it would be more than a hundred years for you to wait." Well, now that I'm finally daring to meet up with my old friends, I'll be coming to you often for drinks in the future, and I hope you don't blame me for coming so late. ”
After saying that, Pannis threw away the empty bottle, gently patted the ground with the smell of wine, and stood up: "Thank you for your willingness to accompany me to meet him tonight." ”
"It's over?" asked Vral, "Isn't it just to point you to the Maya sisters this time?" ”
"No, there are two things. Pannis shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted them to send you a message, but since you are here in person, it will be easier, let's listen to it together." ”
"The first thing I actually asked them all about. Pannis explained, "Two months ago, I asked them to help me find something, which is the goblin code disk that Christo has boasted about several times, and they've found three. ”
"We're weird. "Why are you suddenly interested in that thing?" "It's hard to find that thing in a set of seven." ”
"Because some time ago, during my adventure, I found three. Pannis said, "So I asked you to help me find it, but I didn't expect it to go so well." As for the reason for the sudden interest, well, I want to use it to save someone. ”
"That thing can save people?" "Impossible. "It's just a device to store information. ”
"Christo and I met once by chance and had a discussion. "This set of cipher disks is likely to be related to a giant relic of a goblin, and it is the most classified relic. You should have also heard of the medical technology of goblins, far beyond the current level, some strange diseases that cannot be treated now, maybe you can find special medical equipment in the ruins to treat them. ”
"If you want to save someone, it's Vivien next to you. "I've seen that child a few times, and Antuin has sent her back to the royal court for help, but we can't help it. It's a shame that it's a genius child, but it's best if it can really be treated. ”
"It's good to save people. "But the last accessory is in the hands of the Sea Clan. "I heard it was in their hands. "But we don't have any contact with the children. "So it's impossible to come. "It's up to you, Brother Kyle. ”
"I'll figure out how to deal with the Sea Clan. Pannis said, "Now I'll tell you a second thing." ”
"Why are you so serious?" said Voral with some caution, "not good news. ”
"You should all be on the track. Pannis asked, "The truth about the cause of the previous disaster of the return of the dead, and the intensification of undead activity in the last hundred years." ”
"Well, it's about a group of cultists. Vral said, "I remember that I sent you a message from Toantuin. ”
"Well, the name of this group of cultists is Divine Servants, and most of the members are ghouls, and a few are necromancers. Pannis said solemnly, "Moreover, it is possible that they are plotting to reopen that door." We've sabotaged one of them, but no one knows how much of an impact it will have, and what will happen in the future. ”
"Reliable news?" Several people were nervous at the same time, and even the manticore-tailed lion lying on the ground raised his head intently. Only those who actually lived through that battle can understand how intimidating the world behind that door is.
"Asker, he's taken over as one of the leaders of the Thieves' Guild. Pannis said: "The information he inquired about was very accurate. ”
"I see. Vral immediately straightened his clothes, took out his cloak and put it on his body: "I will go back immediately and inform the royal court that this matter is the highest priority." ”
"Let's go back at once and hold an intra-clan council. "I suddenly had a very uneasy premonition. "I have it too. ”
"Thank you. Pannis said, "By the way, find a way to help me inform Fira, let's go our separate ways." ”
"That's right, Brother Kyle. "Your two companions have been peeking at it. "Hehe, you can slowly figure out how to explain. "Goodbye. (To be continued.) )
