Chapter 16: This Is Our War
"We're going to find out one thing, what is the purpose of this message she's passing on to us?" Obviously, it can't be because she's too idle, so she wants us to know that she's still there, with Nelly's character, in such a tense situation, she won't do such a boring thing, so she must have her own purpose in doing this, as long as she analyzes her purpose, then what we need to do, it will become very clear, therefore, after thinking about this, I began to think about what her purpose is. ”
"At this time, let us know this, I'm afraid the purpose is very limited. Fural thought for a moment and said: "Coupled with her two times emphasizing that the war is not over yet, then I am afraid that there is only one possibility, she feels that she is about to lose her last control over her body, so she ...... Asking for help from the outside world. ”
"Yes, that's my opinion as well. Pannis nodded: "Although I don't know why she can't directly use the undead who belong to her camp to talk to us, one thing is certain, that is, she is indeed asking for help, or to be more precise, she is inviting us to intervene in the war between her and Danakus, and the only way to intervene in the war is to enter the world of the dead and fight side by side with her again." “
"Huh, Kyle, I have a question for you. Vral gently refilled the teacup for Pannis, and asked softly, "Have you figured it out, and if this is true, then what do you need to do after entering the world of the dead again?"
"Of course I get it. Pannis lowered his gaze, covering his eyes with the steaming mist from the teacup, and his voice was calm as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him: "I know very well without your reminder that I need to help Nelly kill Darnacus together, strictly speaking, what I want to do is to kill her own body with her own hands with Nelly's help." ”
Vral did not speak, but gazed tenderly at Pannis's face with a look of pity, and Pannis did not continue to speak, but lowered his gaze at the clear and transparent tea in the teacup, as if there was something noticeable in it. The two were silent together for a long time before Vral sighed softly and said in a low voice, "It seems that you have really made a decision. ”
"The time has come when a decision has to be made. With a hint of sadness in his voice, Pannis sighed: "More than a hundred years ago, I have missed it once, this time I will not run away again, it should be the responsibility I face, it should be the ending I faced, it must be borne by me, there is no second choice." ”
"I'm sorry to ask you so much detail that you are once again faced with such a cruel choice. Vral leaned forward, patted Pannis's hand on the table to show comfort, and said in a low voice: "You have already convinced me, don't worry, I will propose this proposal on your behalf at the high-level meeting, and I will do my best to bring it to fruition, you just said that it is up to me to do this, you have more important things to do, are you going to gather your companions again? Who are you going to gather this time? I must count one, after all, I also want to do something for Nelly's last wish." ”
"No, you're wrong, I'm not going to call you on another expedition. Pannis shook his head and said, "This war no longer belongs to the whole world as before, it is a war between me and Nelly, and Danakus, a war that belongs only to us." ”
"Are you kidding?" Vral frowned again, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you mean by this that you don't plan to take any companions and rush into the world of the dead yourself, and then start a decisive battle with Danakus alone?"
"That's what I meant, and I'm not kidding. Pannis nodded: "As I said, this is a responsibility that I should face, so it must be borne by myself, not by everyone together, not moreover, you also have your own things to do, and everyone has their own tasks." ”
"Tell me more about what you think. Instead of expressing dissatisfaction or impatience, Vral sat calmly on the small stool, re-put the emerald green fine bud tea in the teapot, and asked calmly: "You are not the kind of person who messes around because of hot heads, if I face Nelly, I may have to worry about it, but since I am facing you, then you must have your own thoughts." What is it that makes you feel that you can rely on your own strength to rush all the way to the Traces of the Earth in the center of the Sighing Desert, break through the well-defended fortresses and positions of the undead, and then pass through the desert of the World of the Dead that the thirteen of us barely crossed together, and finally have the strength to face Danacus head-on, and still be able to achieve the final victory?"
"Because, Nelly extended an invitation to me. Pannis smiled: "In the mouth of the six undead who are theoretically on Nelly's side, they have invited me through the declaration of Danacus, and they say, if you are not afraid of death, come to my world again, I will let you see the fear of death." Do you think this statement came from Nelly's will, or from Danacus's will?"
"Based on this sentence, I'm afraid I can't be sure. Vral shook his head, "There are both possibilities, and it's hard to tell which one is more likely." ”
"So I said at the beginning, it's hard to explain, it's something that is unique to me and her, and that no one else can understand. Pannis pretended not to see the gloom of Vral's face at the moment when he heard the peculiar tacit understanding, and just smiled and said: "From this sentence alone, I can know that she is implicitly inviting me, and she will find a way to create a safe passage for me among the undead, so that I can go deep into the world of the dead, so that I can directly face the essence of Danacus, and then ...... Kill her with your own hands. ”
"However, this is not your business alone, well, it should be said that it is not the business of the two of you, it is a decision that concerns the entire Yara continent. Vral was still trying to convince Pannis: "Have you thought about it? If you find out that you are wrong, how can you solve the problem in the future? ”
"That's what I said, you have your own tasks. Pannis said seriously: "I can't guarantee 100% that my plan will not go wrong, so I need you to cooperate with me in the outside world to minimize the risk of the plan." ”
"Sure enough, you still have a backup plan. Vral smiled helplessly: "Say, what do you need us to do?"
