Chapter 197: Meet Again
The skeletons shook their heads at the same time, representing a strong sense of rejection, and the skeleton in the lead hesitated for a few seconds, but still made a series of clicking sounds, and Anne translated: "He said that we are different from other undead, because we have established direct contact with the master, so the heart is directly open to the master, this is our own choice, and we do not intend to change, so now we can't do anything, no, we won't tell you, and at the same time, you shouldn't tell us anything, everything is up to you to judge."

"I think I understand your situation. Pannis nodded thoughtfully, the skeletons have actually told everyone something through this sentence, these skeletons have been directly controlled by the god of death before, their hearts are completely open to the god of death, and they can directly understand what the god of death has done, so they must not show that they already know the battle between Nelly and Danakus, otherwise Danakus will never let them continue to survive. The only question now is how they managed to fool Danacus's sight in the first place, disguising themselves as unaware and still fiercely loyal to the Grim Reaper, who had changed his identity. Of course, everyone has their own secrets that they can't tell, so Pannis wouldn't be stupid enough to ask, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Since you won't tell us anything, can we go in?"
"Of course, there are still people waiting for you inside. Anne translated, "We are here to open the door for you." ”
"Is it just to open the door?" Pannis smiled noncommittally, not delving into whether the skeletons were trying to convey the meaning to themselves or whether they were really just opening the door, but smiled casually and said, "Does your king already know that we are waiting for us at the door?"
"Their King is not ours. Unexpectedly, the skeletons solemnly corrected: "We are only responsible to the master, and have nothing to do with them, we will live here because we have to guard the door for the master." ”
"Well, whatever you want. Pannis scratched his head in annoyance, and there was nothing he could do about these serious and stubborn skeletons, so he sighed and said, "Then you can continue to guard the door, and we will go in." ”
"These people are really ...... Can't comment. The girls followed Pannis through the gate, down the deep and long corridor, and frequently looked back at the six undead who had closed the door and stood straight behind the door, and said with a wry smile: "However, judging from their performance, they are indeed on the side of Lord Nelly, and they are very loyal. ”
"The undead are loyal. Pannis shrugged, "Even Sarn and them are the same." Of course, the word loyalty does not seem appropriate, and it should be said that the faith is strong enough. ”
"That's what Nelly-sama's charm is all about, isn't it?" Catherine's eyes sparkled with reverence, "Selfless deeds have been adored by the undead." ”
"Maybe, but if she hadn't burned her divine power to warm the undead and create a better environment for the undead, she might have been able to support Danacus for a while longer, heh, but if she didn't, it wouldn't be her. Obviously, Pannis didn't want to discuss this issue too much, in fact, from the beginning when Pannis learned that the undead were always bathed in the light of divinity, and got warmth and comfort from it, he had already thought that she was consuming her own strength to help the undead, but because of this move, she gained the faith of the undead, and in turn strengthened her own strength, so even Pannis couldn't confirm whether Nelly's dedication was worth it, but if it was in Nelly's view, it must be worth it.
Seeing that Pannis did not want to continue, Catherine was very considerate and did not continue, and naturally turned her attention to her side, taking in her surroundings. This corridor, the maidens have walked through more than once, in the temple on the steppe, in the temple in the forest of death, and now walking again, even a little familiar. There is not a single undead spirit in the corridor, only on the walls on both sides, the oil lamps unique to the world of the dead are lined up in two rows, illuminating the way forward. Compared to the tense hearts when they walked through the corridor twice before, this time they were obviously in the heart of the undead, but the girls were surprisingly calm, which was really unexpected by the girls, after all, when they decided to come here, they were holding the consciousness of living with Pennis, or dying here together, it can only be said that the form changed too quickly, so fast that they didn't have time to adjust their mentality.
At the end of the hallway was the equally familiar door, which was undoubtedly the temple's original prayer hall and the temple's largest room on the surface. Not long ago, in the same hall, the girls fought to the death against hundreds of powerful enemies, and now they seem to be able to sketch the vastness of the prayer hall in their minds as long as they close their eyes.
"This should be the place where the King of the Undead is waiting for us. Pannis stood in front of the door, pressed his hand to the door, and whispered, "It was here that we saw the first fanatics of Danacus, and of course we will not see them again." Because according to Sarn and Sira, the King of the Dead resides in this hall and rarely leaves the prayer hall. ”
"Living here?" Lina asked in surprise, "This is a prayer hall that can accommodate thousands of people to pray together, and it will still look very spacious, who would live here." ”
"Why not?" Pannis replied, "It's just a little bigger." ”
"The problem is that it's too big, and the meaning of the house doesn't exist. After all, Lina had lived in the same spacious library for a long time, and understood the disadvantage of this kind of empty room, that is, it could not provide the occupants with the sense of security that ordinary rooms can bring, so she said with great feeling: "What is the difference between living here and living in the open air?"
"Of course, there is a difference, the difference is that it is not open-air. After teasing the priest girl, Pannis ignored the fact that Lina rolled her eyes at herself, and despite the girl's threatening white teeth, she pushed open the door with both hands, and at the same time turned back and said: "Also, who told you that there are normal people living in it, how can normal people live in this kind of hall." ”
"Alas, Mr. Kyle, is it really good to say bad things about people behind your back?" The crisp female voice from inside the door made the girls fall into extreme surprise, and the girls never thought that the undead inside could directly call out Pannis's real name, which was the only explanation: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Mr. Kyle, of course, for you, maybe this is the first time we meet, after all, although I know you, you don't know me." ”
