Chapter 59: The Price of Strength

"It's really lively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cateria smiled softly, as if facing a child who was spoiled by her: "Lina, this child is actually very afraid of loneliness, and very timid, as long as we don't stay with her, she will hide in the library and shiver with fear, so we can only discuss, even if we go back to our own world temporarily, we must leave one or two people to accompany her, so as not to find a little thing hiding in the dark and crying secretly when we come back." Alas, she had been promoted from a bronze priest all the way to the gold rank before, and she had also grown up, so she would still make the same move, there was really nothing she could do. ”

"You can get satisfaction from it, and I don't think you hate it. Pannis pursed his lips and pointed out the problem: "Judging by your current expression, I'm afraid you really think of Lina as your own child." ”

"Heh, we grew up watching her. "Watching her pray to the gods every day, listening to her confessions of the past every day, and witnessing a child who made a mistake find the right path again," Kateria admitted. How can we, who have been through all this, not love her as if she were our own children?"

"So you've been training her in her spirit world, right?" Pannis asked, "It must have been that fire that made you nervous, especially after the fire, she left the safe sanctuary and wandered around the outside world by herself, and you were worried about her, so you passed on the combat knowledge of each of you, right?" ”

"You guessed?" said Cateria with a surprised expression, exaggeratingly, "You are so smart, so clever that I didn't expect it, and it made me think about you a lot." ”

"Hey, it's a stupid question, but it's not enough to describe my impression in your mind as an idiot. Pannis rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, I've been wondering since a long time ago, and with her experience, it's hard to get the strength she has now. After all, although she is deeply favored by Denya, it is also based on theology, if you consider the combat ability alone, her talent is not only not a super genius like Vivian, not even Catherine, at most it is similar to Nicole and Rachel, it can only be regarded as very ordinary, theoretically speaking, the possibility of getting to this point is too low, unless you have been training her in her spiritual world with super high intensity, there is little hope. ”

"Who are Nicole and Rachel?" Kateria interrupted Pannis, "Do you have any other friends?"

"Uh......" Pannis was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually became complicated, and there was a soft smile on his face, he shook his head and said softly: "It's nothing, forget about it." ”

"I see, hehe, it seems that you also understand the position of you in this child's heart. As the leader of a church in the Bronze Age, Kateria's mind was undoubtedly very sensitive, and a few very subtle reactions from Pannis made her instantly understand what was going on in his heart, and also made her aware of the faint warmth that welled up in Pannis's heart. However, she thoughtfully did not continue to comment on Pannis's special reaction, but changed the subject: "Indeed, several of our demigods have been training her, in addition to her physical fitness needs to practice by herself, from combat experience to perception of strength, and even the application of divine arts, we are training her in all aspects to make up for her lack of talent." ”

"Your training has been fruitful. Pannis nodded, "In just a few years, the impossible has become possible." ”

"Oh, that's not our work, it's Lina's child's work, you can't imagine how hard her training is. Kateria sighed, shook her head, and said, "In the past four years or almost five years, almost every night, after her body falls asleep, her consciousness will return to the spiritual world for training, and the intensity of training is ...... I heard her say that you have died many times, right, how many times, a hundred times, two hundred? Hehe, she is in training, and she will fight with us every day, and we, although we will control the strength within the range she can understand, will not stop in the battle. As a result, she dies every day. Of course, there will be no real death in one's spiritual world, but the fear of death is unavoidable, and the psychological pressure caused by the attack that leads to death will not be weakened in any way. She has died a lot more than you, so the strength she has gained now is completely what she has gained in exchange for countless deaths. ”

"Yes, what people want to get, they have to pay the same price. Pannis nodded, and did not show any surprise, although he and Catherine did not inquire in detail about the training method of the priest girl, they would have some guesses in their hearts, and now it was only confirmed, which made him sigh with great emotion and said: "The road of pursuing power, there is indeed no shortcut, even the priest who is favored by the gods will not be an exception." ”

"There are no exceptions. As a demigod who also stood at the apex of mortals, Kateria also sighed with resonance: "Every footprint will be stained with blood, maybe it is the enemy's, maybe it is your own. ”

The two seemed to lose interest in the conversation at the same time, falling into silence relative to each other, repeatedly immersed in the memories of the past together, and after a long time, Pannis said with great interest: "What is she doing now?"

"Hehe, last night she spent a night in her spiritual world around the library. Kateria smiled gloatingly and teased, "Until the substitution, I was in high spirits." But as soon as we replaced her, she fell asleep on the grass. ”

"Meadow?" Pannis was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh, she mentioned that the library and the foreign library are slowly overlapping. ”

"That's right. Kateria seemed to be very dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Do you know that it is your dilapidated mansion that is now seriously disturbing our residence. I'm used to living in a library, but now I don't know if something new will come to me at some point. You simply don't understand the awkward feeling of waking up to find your room in a strange place, and it makes us all want to beat you up en masse. ”

"Why me?" said Pannis, his mouth wide open, innocently, "It has nothing to do with me. I wasn't the one who changed my memory, and the Western-style Pavilion didn't belong to me, so why was I the last one to be beaten?"

"Then you mean that you want us to fight Catherine?" said Cateria sinisterly, "or do you want us to bully Lina?"

"Uh, hahahaha, the weather is really nice today. Pannis looked at the sky and said with a dry smile: "It's really a good weather for an outing, hahahaha." ”

"Hmph, timid man. Cateria pouted and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, ah, she's awake, see you later." (To be continued.) )
