"You really didn't lie to me, my child, that you really came back alive from that dangerous place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 When all the irrelevant people had left, and there were only three people left in the room, the Marquis of Snape sat down heavily on a soft bench in the corner of the living room, stared at Catherine and said, "When I heard the news that all of you had returned safely to the Elven Court, I could hardly believe my ears, and I didn't dare to sleep that night, lest I wake up and find that it was just a dream. Phew, it's okay, everything is not a dream, so terrible dangerous forbidden area has not been able to stump you, you have kept your promise, and you have returned to my side, I ......"

Halfway through his words, the marquis's voice was interrupted by his own choking, cunning and firm in front of others, the king who single-handedly built his own commercial kingdom, but in front of his relatives, he turned into a fragile old man, and without saying a few words, his eyes began to redden, and his voice began to become hoarse.

Of course, no one will laugh at his gaffe, even if everyone in the small living room is still here before, it is impossible for anyone to laugh at his gaffe, everyone can understand, seeing the safe return of the child who traveled far away, the excitement in the hearts of the elders is indescribable in any language, and everyone can understand it.

Therefore, the knight girl and Pannis glanced at each other, the two looked at each other and smiled, Catherine followed Marquis Snape to sit beside him, a pair of hands that were slightly thick for women stretched out, and gently wrapped the old marquis's emaciated and shriveled hands in the palm of her hand, gently patted the back of the old marquis's hand, and said softly: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I'm worried about you, although it's a little late now, but I still have to say, grandpa, I'm back." ”

"Hahaha. The old marquis was like a child, with tears on his face, but he couldn't stop laughing, and his laughter was full of joy, and he held the girl's strong hand and said loudly: "Okay, well, now is probably the happiest moment in my life, hahahaha, if it weren't for the fact that it is now in a sensitive period, and you are certainly unwilling, I will definitely hold the grandest banquet to celebrate your safe return." ”

"The happiest moment, hehe, click. Pannis, sitting cross-legged at the conference table, said this lazily over and over again, while biting open the dried fruit that had been taken out of the fruit bowl, and although it was difficult to understand why he had to sit in all sorts of strange places when he had a chair, the old marquis did not bother to express his opinion on this, for Pannis's words had already attracted his attention: "I don't think so, I hope that after hearing the next news, you can still hold on to your opinion." ”

"What?" Marquis Snape's smile stiffened a little, and the excessive concern made the shrewd old man look like an ordinary person, and he became nervous because of Pannis's words, and looked at Catherine and then at Pannis, and asked with some unease, "Is there any special news next......?" I haven't heard of it. ”

"Of course, you haven't heard about it from official channels, it's because this is news that can't be made public, and we naturally haven't informed all parties. Pannis's voice became deeper and deeper, and the suppressed voice with a mysterious tone inevitably raised an ominous premonition: "I suggest that you calm down and prepare yourself now, and then we will tell you the specific information, we don't want to cause any irreparable consequences because of your excessive mood fluctuations." Well, if I had known, I would have brought Lina today, and if she was there, at least it would be easier to give first aid. ”

"Hey, you've got enough. Catherine interrupted Pannis's performance with tears and laughter, and said angrily: "How can you talk like this, no matter how good the news is, it will become scary for you to say this." ”

"Well, I mean it well. Pannis showed an expression that made people want to hit him, and said with a grin: "In the words just now, there is not a word that is a lie, and there is no exaggeration. ”

"That's right, but it's just a deliberate misleading tone. The girl glared at him and comforted the old marquis beside her: "Grandpa Snape, don't listen to him, it's actually good news, but he is right about one thing, you must be mentally prepared, don't get too excited." ”

"I see. The old marquis's only feeling was dazed, but he also knew that the two of them had good intentions, so he had to take a few deep breaths to calm down his mood before nodding and saying, "I'm ready, you can say it." ”

"None of us have ever said the news, and there is no one else who knows it except Mr. Dilly and my little skeleton as witnesses. Catherine subconsciously looked around and whispered, "We found the remains of several camps in the forbidden land in the core of the Death Forest, and the traces left from the camps can be concluded to be ...... Grandfather left behind during their last expedition. ”

"What did you say?" said the old marquis, who stood up abruptly, his voice sharpened with his excitement, and grasped Catherine's shoulders with both hands, "the camp where the old thing stayed, did you find anything in it?, did you find him...... No, it's impossible to find, but did he leave any information?"

"Grandpa Snape, look at you, you've said you're mentally prepared, and you're still so excited. Catherine sighed and persuaded, "This is not the main topic, you have become the way you are, I dare not continue." ”

"Okay, good, I'm calm, I'm calm. The old man is worthy of being the king of the business world, and at this time, he can forcibly adjust his mentality, calm his mood, sit back in his chair, and say in a deep voice: "Okay, you can continue." ”

"Well, a digression. Catherine smiled slyly and said happily: "Regarding the debt that my family owes you, I have already exchanged five hundred magic steel coins, but it is inconvenient today and I did not bring it here." Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will send the money over, so that the debt will be reduced by another eighth, and there will be a shortfall of thirty-five million gold coins. ”

"Is this your news?" the old man said with a wry smile: "These gold coins are your reward for this mission, and it is too ...... for you to return the part that belongs to you as soon as you get paid."

"No, that's just off topic. Catherine said mysteriously, "And you must not refuse, or you will be in great trouble." ”

"But I ...... What is this?" the old man was about to say when he saw Catherine spread out her hand and put it in front of him, with a shiny Mithril coin in her palm.

"Well, normally, we call it Mithril Coins. Pannis sat down on the table and propped his chin and said, "Or coins." ”
