The moment Pannis finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes were staring directly at him, but he didn't have the consciousness of a silver-level professional at all, and made a strange look of 'why are you all looking at me', so that everyone didn't know what to say at all.

"I need to think about it, and I think everyone needs time to digest what was accepted today. Teresa did not directly reply to Pannis's proposal, but turned to the city lord, Duke Winston: "Mr. City Lord, I think can you give everyone two days to think about it, and in these two days, everyone can collect information separately, including questioning survivors, examining corpses, etc., but don't take substantive action, and make a decision in two days?"

"Absolutely. Winston said cheerfully, "I've arranged a place for you to rest, ...... everybody."

"No need. Moore shook his head and said, "I think it's more desirable for everyone to go back to the temple and exchange information with each other." ”

"That's true. Teresa smiled at Winston and said, "Thank you for your trouble, if you don't mind, we'll go back to the temple first." ”

"Phew, business is finally done. Ignoring those who were politely saying goodbye to each other, Pannis stretched hard: "Let's go, let's go back too." ”

"You were exceptionally reliable today. Lina exclaimed, "I'm surprised you didn't mess around in the meeting. ”

"Hey, I don't mess around when I'm down to business. Pannis said dissatisfied.

"Yes, indeed, but after getting down to business, I'm never serious. Lina had just uttered a sarcastic remark when she realized that Pannis had run away.

"Hey, this young lady. Pannis stood beside Marcia, who was waking up from her boredom slumber. One of the characteristics of the God of War Church is that it often uses muscles and fists instead of brains to perform thinking functions, and in the eyes of the believers of God of War, all problems that can be solved with fists are not problems, and when they encounter problems that cannot be solved with fists, they try to turn it into a problem that can be solved with fists, and then solve it. This is the mindset of the Ares cultists. As a member of the Church of the God of War, Marcia has long been accustomed to this kind of process, so when everyone is listening attentively to everyone's speech, only she can't understand what everyone is talking about. I had to doze off secretly. When she was awakened by Pannis, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Pannis leaning against the table, looking into her eyes gently: "Since you are so boring, why don't I invite you to have lunch with you?"

"You guy. Lina gritted her teeth and glared at Pannis from behind, clenched her fists and slowly approached: "You were not serious just now." And you're good to go. ”

"Okay. Marcia, who was sleeping in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and there was a rare look of daze on her face full of wild beauty, but when she heard the word "eat", she immediately agreed.

"After eating, why don't we find an elegant and uninhabited place, have some sweaty body exchanges, and talk about ideals and life by the way?"

"Bastard, you give me a little bit, don't trouble my new friends. Lina resisted the urge to punch in front of the people around her. Whispered to Pannis. But before he finished speaking, he saw that Marcia's eyes had lit up.

"Great, you are such a warm and good friend. Marcia immediately stopped being sleepy, and said excitedly with round eyes: "Not only invite me to dinner, but also fight against me? ”

"Hey, did you misunderstand? Pannis was forced to walk out by Marcia: "Aren't you peace-loving, don't you hate fighting?"

"Battles are just competitions, not battles. Marcia said as a matter of course: "I often play like this with those Warcraft friends in the wilderness, and I haven't had a chance to move my muscles and bones in the past few months since I returned to the temple." You actually saw my difficulties and took the initiative to help me. ”

"Wait, that's not what I meant, Lina. Lina, come and explain it to me. Pannis wailed and extended a hand to Lina for help.

"Sweaty body communication. Lina shook her head sadly, "How dare you say this to the believers of the Temple of the God of War, go all the way, dear Mr. Pannis."

On the afternoon of the meeting, regardless of what the others decided, Lina first sent away the two silver-rank helpers sent by the main hall. Although the two young men and women repeatedly emphasized. He was not afraid of danger and wanted to stay rather than die, but Lina still refused mercilessly. In Lina's words, if you really have something to do with the gods, then the participation of the Golden Order is very reluctant, not to mention you silver, it is pure suicide. Whether you want to die or not is your own business, but whether or not to see you die in vain is my business.

Bombed away the two reluctant helpers, but the two did not rush to inquire about the start of the investigation, but chatted with Cynthia in the temple in a leisurely manner, and then took Moore and Marcia for a meal in the evening. According to Pannis, these are two free helpers, one is too lazy to think for himself, as long as the relationship is good enough and there is no malice, everything will listen to you, and the other is a friend, of course, you have to work hard to get closer, in case there is a sudden battle later, you will not be isolated.

During the whole dinner, Marcia was the only one who ate happily. As a member of the fighting department of the church, Marcia's own regular monthly income is not low, but her meal is really large, although the food provided by the church is free, but the taste and variety are not good, and she always needs to control the amount of food to break even, so she has been very distressed. Now that I have a chance to eat to my heart's content, it is natural to try my best to eat enough.

Of course, as an adult, although Marcia has a pure and peaceful heart, she still understands many things. She knew very well the reason why Pannis and Lina came to her to get closer, and this need was not only for Pannis and Lina, but also for her as a separate representative. And living in the wilderness all year round, she has a beast-like instinct with Warcraft all day long, and she instinctively feels that there is no harm in getting along with the two, so she simply let down her guard and enjoyed the free dinner with peace of mind.

Marcia was eating happily, but instead of focusing on the food, the other three continued to exchange some newfound information. Even with Pannis's experience and strength, he inevitably feels pressure when faced with issues related to the people of God. If he was still the strongest demigod of the human race, if he was still surrounded by the same group of comrades-in-arms as before, he would not feel pressure in the face of any opponent under the gods, but now the comrades-in-arms around him have been replaced by Lina. Further afield, Catherine and Vivien, who were really up against a group of demigods and divine opponents, and Pannis had no confidence that he could keep everyone safe. Under such pressure, although on the surface nothing is embodied. But in his heart, he had adjusted the level of vigilance to the highest, trying his best to see the road ahead, and trying his best to avoid too high risks.

"In the afternoon, I went to visit the survivor who woke up. Moore had no intention of eating, and said worriedly: "Indeed, as you expected, I didn't get any substantive news. ”

"That's an easy guess. Pannis shrugged. While unconsciously cutting the meat pieces on the plate into thin strips, he said: "They are just ordinary people, not professionals, so there are many things they can't sense." For example, the strength level of the other party, such as the energy strength of the magic circle, it is impossible to know from them, and even if you visit, you can only get some news that everyone already knows, so there is no need to go at all. ”

"But be sure that the two people you met in the Glitter Forest that you mentioned to me at noon, and the two people you peeked through the mage's eye when you were weeping in the Weeping Cave. None of them appeared in this time. Moore said, "This probably shows that their organization is stronger than we think." This time, it was claimed that the survivors were expelled after a fierce battle, but in fact, it was the patrol team that broke the case, and the highest combat power in it was a bronze high-rank. But he was smart enough to notice something was wrong from afar, and immediately sent a distress signal representing the most urgent situation, which, according to Winston Lord's law, would be sent unless it was too far away from the surrounding towns. Otherwise, a rescue team of more than 100 people must arrive within 10 minutes, and the reinforcements must reach at least 500 within half an hour. It is precisely because of this signal that the other party will retreat before he has time to destroy the circle and confirm that all the victims are dead. And they were not in a hurry at all, they simply ignored the patrol hiding in the distance, and left after packing up all their belongings very comfortably. According to the patrol leader, there are only five enemies, but it is very likely that there will be two legendary tiers combined with three golden tiers, and if you add the legendary tier you encountered in the glitter forest earlier. The opponent's forces in Neville have at least three legends, which is already a very large combat force, and it is impossible to defeat it with our current strength. ”

"So our mission is mainly to investigate, not to fight head-on. Pannis said, "By the way, have you seen the corpse?"

"Yes, I've visited the survivors. Moore said: "The autopsied bodies were also examined, and the men were aged not only in appearance, but also in internal organs, bones, muscles, and blood vessels. ”

"That's right. Pannis nodded: "Then I'm afraid there is something wrong with your idea, they are not stolen by lifespan." ”

"Why?" Moore asked, "Why?"

"Let's say life can be stolen. "You should have lived to be two thousand years old, but I stole a thousand, three hundred years of life, so you should die now, not when you grow old, because what you have stolen is what you have not lived, not that you will be able to live it quickly." ”

"Uh......" Moore was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "It seems to make sense, but what do you think is not lifespan?"

"I had an immature idea. "An old friend once mentioned to me that in the First Age, people were better at time magic. ”

"You're saying it's time that they're stealing?" Moore almost jumped up and said in surprise, "It's even more impossible than stealing lifespan, how can time be stolen." ”

"Maybe the people of God have a way? I don't know, so it's premature. Pannis hesitated and said, "Maybe after a while, you need to go to the country of mages, ask that old friend if there is such a possibility, or you can ask Her Majesty the Empress to come forward and ask." ”

"I'll try. Moore said: "But I still think it's unlikely. ”

"We'll talk about that then. Pannis said: "Now it's good to deal with the memories of the day after tomorrow, and then deal with the exploration work later, I hope there will be no surprises." (To be continued.) )
