"Yes, you heard you right. Pannis's expression did not show joy or anger, nor the frustration of defeat, and said as plainly as a statement: "They have completed the sacrifice, and the seeds of the door of death have been planted to reopen, maybe another month, maybe another day, or maybe now the door of death has been opened." ”

"But, but ......" Lina looked around and said, "They, they're not already ......"

"Well, they died, and they finished the ritual before they died. Pannis nodded: "Those three necromancers also committed suicide to strengthen the power of the ritual, even after so many years of hostile relations, I have to admit that they are a group of very courageous enemies, more courageous than the vast majority of people." ”

"I think it's time for us to talk, Pannis. Catherine frowned and said, "I think there are many surprises in the situation on your side, so tell us in detail that it's okay." ”

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't figured out the situation on your side, and I have some questions that need to be answered. Pannis nodded, "But let's talk as we go, if you let Dilly lie alone in the square for too long, that guy will probably bite again." ”

"But what about here?" Catherine said with a diseasy gesture as she pointed to the altar and the corpse between the ceremonies, "Is it just thrown here?

"Don't worry about it. Pannis shook his head and said, "After all, this is Danakus's domain, and it's not our turn to worry about these things for him, so just leave them here, it's also theirs, well, willing." ”

"Are you really okay?" Catherine looked at Pannis's face and asked worriedly, "From the first time I saw you just now, I have always felt that something is wrong with your feelings, what happened? ”

"Well, it didn't really happen, it was just a little strange, and I didn't understand why I was in a different mood at first, but I just figured it out. Pannis sighed and said seriously: "Over the years, since I learned about the existence of their organization, I have transferred all the hatred since she left me to them, and most of my active efforts have been to eliminate their organization and kill all their people. It can be said that this expectation has been throughout my life for several years. But today, the divine servants who have been enemies for hundreds of years with my hatred are suddenly gone, and the last member of them turned into a ball of sand in front of me, so I was a little dazed for a moment just now, because I suddenly found that I didn't know who to hate in the days to come. ”

"Why do you have to have hatred?" Catherine's question had just come out, and she suddenly understood, and shook her head with a wry smile: "I understand, if no one can hate, you will concentrate all your hatred on yourself again as before." ”

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Pannis shook his head and said, "It's just that this has become a habit, and after suddenly it's gone, it's just a little uncomfortable." Moreover, you don't have to worry about me hating myself to the point of madness like before, that kind of thing will never happen again, after all, no matter how much I hate myself, I can't solve any problems, so why do such meaningless stupid things, it's better to save my energy and do something that can solve the problem. ”

"Still not right. Catherine shook her head vigorously and said: "Not only that, I always feel that in the past dozens of minutes, you have changed a lot, and you are definitely different from the previous you." ”

"Because I figured something out, right after losing my worst enemy. Pannis smiled faintly: "I guess it's because of this that you think I've changed a lot." ”

"What did you figure out?" Lina interrupted Pennis curiously, "I'm curious to figure out what can make such a big difference." ”

"Well, what do you say? Pannis scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "It's not that I don't want to sue you, but I hate complicated, very complicated, I can't describe it in words, maybe only when you also figure it out, you will know what I am talking about." ”

"Lina. Catherine stopped the priest girl who still wanted to ask questions, shook her head slightly, and said: "Don't ask, he is still the same person, it is enough to know this, there is no need to ask more, and I have probably guessed what he has figured out, heh, should I congratulate you at this time? However, thinking about these things will cause such a strong sense of alienation? This is difficult to understand." ”

"It's just an illusion, a sense of distance that comes with an illusion. Pannis shook his head and said: "Everyone who takes this step will have this phenomenon in a short period of time, there is no way, this is the power of the rules, as long as they are still mortals, no one can violate them." Of course, this phenomenon is even more pronounced in me, because I am already the second time. ”

"Wait, wait, I don't think something is right. Lina stopped Pennis, who was about to walk out the door, and asked with round eyes, "You guy, the seal has been broken?"

"You've finally reacted. Freya was too lazy to carry so much luggage anymore, so she simply dragged a few large backpacks directly behind her back, and said weakly: "Your reaction speed, I'm worried about your intelligence, well, dear Mr. Pannis, in fact, I'm also curious, I'm curious about what kind of state you are in now, besides, if you don't mind, show how strong you are after breaking the seal, and help me carry a few backpacks." ”

"It's hard to say, I feel like I'm omnipotent right now, but that's also an illusion after advancing to a demigod. Pannis shook his head and said, "You will feel this way after breaking through your limits, so it will take a while to get used to it after breaking through." However, although it is not yet possible to determine the specific increase in strength, it can be determined that the increase in strength is very obvious compared to before the breakthrough. It seems that my previous assumption was not wrong, and after the end of this road, it can indeed cause unpredictable changes. ”

"You won the battle with this breakthrough?" Catherine asked, "It should be, after all, the opponent is two and a half dead, and the strength is very strong." ”

"No, I broke through after the victory. Pannis shrugged and said, "There are other reasons to win. ”

"Well, looks like you're going to have a long story to tell. Catherine nodded, and after everyone had left, she slowly closed the door between ceremonies, and the moment the gate closed, the knight maiden seemed to hear the whispered prayers of the dead believers again, and the sound was forgotten in the deepest part of the temple as the gate closed.
