Chapter 5: Uncle and Sister

"Huh?" The girls looked at Pennis with puzzled eyes, and found that since entering the restaurant, Pannis had been hiding behind the girls like a thief, refusing to even show his face, just because he had chosen a clever angle, making it difficult to detect that he was hiding. But even though he hid it well, he was still keenly spotted by the lizardman, and pulled his clothes like a child and said, "Mom misses you and the knight sister very much, hiss, before I came out this time, she was still talking about the days when she left the swamp with you to explore, hiss, if you have time, come home with me and have a look." ”

It was a lizardman who was not young and was pulling Pannis. In the Yala world, the lizardmen have a lifespan of about three hundred years, and the adult age is fifty years old, their appearance looks like a lizard walking upright, because they need to hunt in the swamp all year round, so they are generally not tall, their skin is covered with tough scales, and their hands and feet are also very similar to lizards, although they are also five fingers, but the fingertips grow sharp retractable claws, their claws are sharp like swords, and they can usually cut prey instead of weapons. The more interesting feature of the lizardmen is that their tongues and tails, with thick tails intertwined with each other to represent friendship and blessings, and the slender tongues spit out of their mouths like snakes and sweep each other's faces to represent intimacy, which is often used by two generations or blood relatives to greet each other.

For those who are not familiar with swamp peoples, it is difficult to identify the age of the lizardmen, but in fact, it can be seen directly from the appearance that the scales of the lizardmen will change color with age, most of them are tender green in the early years, and you can occasionally see light blue and beige scales, and when they reach adulthood, the color of the scales will quickly deepen, and they can change to dark green, dark blue or yellowish brown in a year. After the age of 100, the color of the scales will change for the second time, and the original color will gradually redden, and the red will become heavier with age. Often, by the time he is one hundred or eighty years old, the red color will increase to a peak, and it also represents the peak of the lizardman's physical condition. After the age of 180, the scales that have turned pure red will begin to turn white, and the red will become lighter and lighter. The grayish-white gets heavier and heavier, and the older the lizardfolk scales become, this is the last stage that lasts until all the red fades if they live long enough. The scales of the whole body transform into an unhealthy white color until death is exhausted. Therefore, by the color of the scales, you can judge the age of the lizardman, and the scales covering the whole body of the lizardman who is talking in front of him have begun to turn red, and the red is more obvious, according to which he is at least more than a hundred years old, and the age should be one hundred and thirty years old. But at this time, the middle-aged lizardman was like a child, pulling the corner of Pannis's coat, and raised his head to stare at Pannis's face. Full of anticipation, he said: "After my uncle and sister left last time, I obviously promised my mother to go home and sit down after finishing my errands, so my mother didn't go with you, but you have been gone for so many years, and my mother has been waiting for you to be old, and I haven't waited for you to come back, so I'm very sad." ”

The girls' eyes were sharp like knives across Pannis's face, and that scum-like gaze made Pannis break out in a cold sweat, and said with a dry laugh: "Gallantis, I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown so big, hahahaha, is Alcmene okay, that. Don't drag me like that, my clothes are going to tear, and I won't run away. ”

"Female?" the girls turned their horrified gaze to the red lizardman Galantis, who could tell from the name that it was a female lizardman, but if you only look at the appearance, who can tell if a lizard is male or female?

"Not necessarily. Hiss. The lizardman known as Galantis tugged at the corner of Pannis's clothes, shook his head vigorously, stretched out his tongue and hit Pannis's neck, and said stubbornly: "Mother said, uncle, you are like the wind in the swamp, hiss, never fathomable, and will never stay in one place, hiss, so I let go of my hand and maybe my uncle will run away." ”

"Well, I really can't run. Pannis looked embarrassed, but still familiar with his arm around Galantis's tail and patted it, and explained in a low voice: "After that departure, something happened, very complicated, that's why I haven't been to see Alcmene for so many years, don't worry, I should go to see her soon, well, at least before it's over." ”

"Ahem. Catherine coughed dryly and said with a strange expression, "Pennis, don't you think you should introduce me?"

"Sister Knight. The lizardman Galantis immediately turned to Catherine, and his long tail was entangled: "You don't persuade your uncle to come back to see your mother more often, obviously you used to be so close to your mother, hiss, why did you go away for so long like your uncle?" ”

"Ahh ”

"Huh?" Galantis's yellow-green vertical pupils turned, and he was puzzled for a while before nodding: "Hey, maybe I'm really mistaken, after all, I'm not used to distinguishing human appearance, hey, I'm sorry, this knight sister." ”

"It's okay, my sister is very happy. Although she knew that the lizardman in front of her was several times older than her age, Gallantis's innocent attitude made Catherine naturally consider herself a sister, and said to her with a smile: "Your name is Galantis, how can you be with these people, I haven't seen you when I was working with them a few years ago." ”

"Mom said that my strength is already good, hiss, I shouldn't stay in the swamp all day like her, I should come out and break in, see the outside world. Galantis said with some distress: "Although I still want to be at home with my mother, hiss, but she is right, I should always come out and live independently for a while, so I left the swamp two years ago." Hey, before leaving, my mother said that I could be an adventurer like my uncle and my knight's sister, so I joined the current adventure group, and I can travel all over the Yara continent, hiss, and I can also look for you two by the way, hiss, no, find my uncle and the knight's sister. ”

"Okay, I see. Catherine nodded, glared at Makara, and said with a cold snort: "Count yourself lucky, for the sake of Galantis's relationship, I will not pursue your slander against me with you." ”

"Ah, that's great. Makara did not hide the joy in his heart at all, jumped up directly from the chair, almost overturned the table, and did not care about eating, and said loudly: "This mission has been completed, everyone will disband here, rest and move freely for half a year, and gather in the capital of knowledge after half a year, and do not be late." Okay, you eat slowly, I'll go first. ”

"Captain!" Before the human team members finished speaking, Makara quickly escaped from the restaurant of the Ice and Fire Hotel as if there was a group of demonic beasts chasing behind him, as if he would be eaten by demonic beasts if he took a slow step, leaving only five members with a wry smile on their faces.

"Well, that, I'm sorry, Captain Catherine. "The land of the land of the sea is the deputy head of the adventure group, and because the head of the group often does some inappropriate behavior, this deputy head of the group has to ask the head of the group every time to deal with the problems he left behind, and it seems that he has long been used to it. Therefore, when Makara quickly fled, Lu Ren scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Our regiment commander is really rude, I hope you don't get angry, in fact, the regiment commander has no malicious intentions, just his ...... Uh, it's a bit of a no-normal. ”

"Don't worry, I won't take his word for granted. Catherine shook her head, showed a decent diplomatic smile, and said gently: "We have worked together for a while before, I know very well who he is, if I really got angry with him, I would have been angry with him a long time ago." This time, I'm just teaching him a lesson, letting him know that he can't say anything casually, well, but I don't think it's very useful, if he could accept the lesson, he wouldn't be like this a long time ago, alas, it's just hard for you. ”

"Hahaha. The deputy head of Lu Ren laughed dryly, although it was not good to say bad things about his leader, but there was a look of wholehearted approval on his expression, obviously Catherine's words made him resonate strongly, and his heart was full of a kind of warmth of being understood, and even had an urge to cry: "It's great that you can understand." ”

"You've already completed your mission?" Catherine stopped worrying about Makara's question and took the initiative to change the subject: "Wouldn't it be that you just left the ice field, that's too unfortunate, oh, if it's inconvenient, don't talk about it." ”

"Nothing to keep secret. Lu Ren shook his head and said: "We didn't enter the ice field, it was a exploration mission entrusted to us by the mage lord of this area, Sellanus, it is not very complicated, it has been completed, and now it is just the vacation period of our team, so we will disband and take a vacation for half a year." ”

"Oh, then I won't disturb your holiday activities. Catherine got up, took Galantis' hand back from its claws, and said, "Would you like to have a conversation with your sister?" I think you have a lot to say to your 'uncle'. ”

The aggravated title of uncle made the cold sweat on Pannis's face even more, but Galantis obviously didn't feel this way, and said happily: "Hiss, yes, hiss, great." (To be continued.) )
