"Be careful. Catherine didn't think about it, she directly activated the rescue charge, and instantly appeared beside Vivian, even hugging Vivian's falling body: "What's the matter, is it sick again?"

"It's alright, big sister, just stumbling. Vivien patted Catherine's arm as if she was comforting, smiled and said, "It's really not an illness, it's just an accident, don't be so nervous." ”

"Really? Don't be pushy. Catherine looked at her suspiciously, tentatively letting go of the hand that was holding her, Vivien stood on the ground and spread her arms, and said lightly, "Look, I'm not fine? ”

"Okay. Catherine nervously observed Vivien for a while, and made sure that there was nothing unusual about Vivian's movements, then she sighed and said complainingly: "You guy be careful, you almost scared me to death." ”

"Haha, eldest sister, you are too timid. Vivien grimaced, turned around and took a few steps forward, when she suddenly fell forward again without warning. This time the situation did not escape Catherine and Pannis, who had been staring at her closely, and the two of them could clearly see that nothing was stumbling on the mage girl's feet, but her steps suddenly appeared strangely confused, and she tripped herself.

"It's weird. When the mage girl was held by Catherine again, she frowned tightly, and said strangely: "I have been so manipulative for the past few years, and there has been no problem, why is it suddenly difficult to walk? ”

Catherine looked worried, but let go of her hand as Vivien had said, but this time she didn't dare to relax, and stayed by her side. Vivien frowned, concentrating on walking around in place step by step, but no matter how she moved, it was as normal as her usual actions, until in the end, she couldn't find the problem she was looking for. After a good two minutes, the Buzz at the entrance to the cave had flown away. Vivian still didn't find out the reason, so she could only helplessly rub the ruffled soft hat on her head and muttered: "It seems that the reason can't be found, forget it, don't waste time." Let's go in first. ”

"Be careful. As soon as she finished speaking, she had just taken a step when she fell into Catherine's arms at the exclamation of Pannis.

"I see. Vivian smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, it's indeed a physical problem." It's terrible. ”

"What the hell is going on. Catherine didn't dare to let Vivien go by herself, so she directly carried the mage girl behind her before continuing to ask: "Did your body suddenly become uncoordinated? ”

"That's it. Vivien sighed and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with the circulation speed of the mana channel, which caused my puppet manipulation to be abnormal, and now it should be okay to solve, give me a few hours, and I can adjust to the same state as normal." But it's strange, isn't the cycle of the mana channel automatic, why is there a problem?"

"Have you forgotten? Pannis's face was very grim, and he said in a low voice: "When I was in the Goblin Research Center before. The manager of the reading center is not talking about your illness, and it will slowly erode your ......."

"Plants...... Nerves?" Seeing that Pannis was stuck in the name, Catherine recalled the title in her memory and asked uncertainly, "I remember this name, we asked her about the origin of this name at the time." ”

"Yes, autonomic nerves. Pannis nodded and continued: "Your Serqi syndrome will slowly erode your autonomic nerves, and the magic cycle in the magic channel is automatic and controlled by the autonomic nerves, so you have a problem with the speed of the cycle now." I'm afraid it's a sign of further erosion of the autonomic nerve, and I don't know if there will be a deeper development, and it can't be delayed any longer. ”

"Why haven't you come in for so long? Mina's voice came from the cavern, and it was getting closer. After a few seconds, I saw a woman in a gray cloak come out of the darkness and asked suspiciously, "I said who came to disturb my sleep, it turned out to be you, Kai ......"

"Long time no see, Mina. Pannis suddenly shouted a greeting. interrupted Mina's words: "Remember me, I'm Pannis, I want to ask you for help this time, but one of our companions seems to have a little problem, let's go inside for details, don't stand at the door." ”

Several girls stood behind Pannis, Catherine carried Vivien on her back, and when she saw Pannis's rather clumsy performance, she tilted her head in distress and made a "really stupid" mouth shape, but she didn't make a sound. Mina under the cloak looked at Pennis in front of her strangely, thought for a moment before understanding what he meant, and said with doubt: "Okay, Pannis, how did you become the way you are, I remember that you would never do such a thing before." But it's good that change is a good thing, and it won't be more dangerous than what you used to be. You said that there was something wrong with the companion, was it the little girl who was being carried on the back?Oh, it turned out to be sick, this disease is very troublesome, but I remember that the goblins have found a solution, why don't you go to the goblin for treatment? Oh, remember, the goblins are dead, I'm sorry, I was just woken up by that guy from Bass, and my mind is not very clear. ”

"Nothing, bother you. Pannis said apologetically, "One of the purposes of looking for you this time is because of her." ”

"Well, I don't know how to treat it, especially with this disease, I can't. Mina turned around and said, "Anyway, let's come in first, although there is no place to receive guests inside, but at least it is more spacious than here, please come with me, by the way, Kai...... Aren't you going to introduce us to Pennis?"

"These are my friends...... Teammate. After a moment's hesitation, Pannis naturally changed his name and continued: "Catherine, Lina the sage of Denia, Freya the gunslinger, and Vivien, the alchemist, are on Catherine's back, and this is Eva. ”

"You're Eva?" Mina said in surprise, "I've heard your name when I was born thousands of years ago, the newborn Three-Eyed Clan, and you're so lucky that even this girl has joined your team." ”

"Good luck indeed. Pannis smiled self-deprecatingly: "Let's not talk about this, in the past few years, including the way to find you, a lot of things have really happened, I think you need to understand." ”

"Let's talk as we go. Mina didn't have much courtesy to the girls, just stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation. If it was another race, it might seem a little rude, but now it is the dragon clan, this group of long-lived creatures, almost every one of them is old enough to be the elder of any intelligent creature in the Yala world, just from the age of the person, no one is qualified to blame them, and in terms of the character of the dragon clan, they don't care much about etiquette, so no one cares about Mina's faux pas. Mina asked as she walked inside, "You think you think this is something that 'me' has to understand?"

"That's right. Pannis said seriously: "It's so serious. ”

"How long has it been?" Mina didn't ask in detail, instead asking a strange question of timing.

"It's 3692 this year, and it's 3693 soon. Although Mina's question was a little inexplicable, Pannis immediately understood her thoughts, deliberately avoided the answer for more than a hundred years, and replied cryptically: "It's not too long." ”

"It's only been such a short time?" More than a hundred years have passed, and it is only a short moment in the dragon's senses, Mina said in distress: "Why is there a serious problem in such a short period of time?

"Well, it's not that serious. Pannis said, "I guess our previous business didn't end perfectly. ”

"What does that have to do with that?" Mina already knew that Pannis was deliberately avoiding the conversation related to the death's door, although she had already seen the secret ridicule in the girls' eyes when she crossed Pannis, but she was very clever to hide it, and cooperated with Pannis and said, "Could it be the three priests who escaped?"

"We have to start from the beginning. Pannis recounted Mina's experience of the past year or so, and by the time the recount was over, several people had already arrived at Mina's lair. Dragons love spacious caves, so Mina's lady's cave is also very large, and even dragons more than a hundred meters long have no problem rolling in this cave. On the innermost side of the cave is a stone platform, on which Mina, who has usually returned to her dragon form, falls into her favorite slumber. However, Mina did not lie back on the platform, but randomly found a few rocks in the cave to use as stools, and sat with the six members of the party. Pannis kept talking about encountering the undead transformation beast on the snow field, and then concluded: "That's basically it, I'm worried that they held sacrifices to give power to that god, and they held rituals, maybe to reopen the door, and they studied the undead transformation monsters......"

"To create chaos in the rear if necessary?" Mina muttered, "and to prevent the original situation from happening again?"

"Yes. Pannis nodded, "I think so." ”

Mina stood up, paced back and forth in place, spun around several times, and suddenly stopped and asked, "How sure are you about this?"

"Not at all. Pannis spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Everything is possible, maybe, probably, I guess, I am not sure at all, maybe it is just a group of idiots amusing themselves, but who do you think would dare to gamble on this possibility with the future of Yarra's world?"

"So, what are you going me to do?" Mina asked the key question, "Gather a large number of people and then rush into the Forest of Death to destroy them?"

"Hmph, I don't dare think so. At the mention of this, Pannis suddenly snorted coldly: "I know that for you guardians, even if you are 100% sure of this level of problem, it is far from the level of dispatching a large number of members, and at most one or two adult clansmen are the limit, not to mention that there is no certainty at all." ”

"I'm sorry. The hood on Mina's cloak hung lower: "I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
