Chapter 21 Take the initiative
"Is it really appropriate for us to run away in advance like this?" On the third day after the elven envoys arrived in the Holy Capital, three magic vehicles quietly drove out of the gates of the Capital of Knowledge. The six members of the party sat in pairs on the magic car, and as for Pannis, in addition to Catherine holding his waist and sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle, there was also a ragdoll bear in the front seat who kept shouting and waving his head in the air when he was excited. And Catherine, who was in the back seat of him, although she said such very worried and rational words, the irrepressible smile on her face betrayed her mood at this time, and it seemed that the smiles on the faces of several girls had not faded since she decided to leave early to go to Neville City first last night.
Of course, this excepts Lina. Lina was the only girl who was not happy about the early departure, although she did not object, but it was clear from her expression that she was in a very uneasy mood, and for the whole night, in addition to her daily routine prayers, she basically sat in her room in a daze. Everyone was not surprised by her appearance, and everyone knew that Neville City was associated with Lina's deepest memories and was the most vulnerable part of her heart. However, at this time, no one can comfort her, or anyone's comfort cannot have a role, maybe she can only really face the wounds in her heart in order to get out of the painful regret, m.⌒.c●om hatred, and face a new future. But now she obviously didn't step out of the shadows, sitting behind Vivien still staring blankly at the fleeting scenery on the side of the road, no one knew what was going on inside her seemingly calm exterior.
Although Lina's heart is troubled, Neville City is a must to go, and in the same way, no matter how much you resist, there are always things that you have to muster up the courage to face, so she has no plans to oppose Neville's trip to Neville City from the beginning. And it was the first one in favor. So, although Catherine and Freya have always been worried that this is not in line with diplomatic etiquette and that it will be rude, they move faster than anyone else, one goes to work with Vivien to debug three magic cars, and the other is responsible for sorting out the equipment and supplies needed for the journey, so as to pack them up as soon as possible, and even want to set off overnight.
In the midst of this contradiction, early the next morning, the group quietly set out on the road after leaving a note that we were waiting for you in the city of Neville. But. There was an interesting accident before the departure, everyone originally planned to let Anne hide in her memory crystal and set off with everyone, but after the idea was made, the very obedient deer who had always been Xiàn cried loudly, although the skeleton did not shed tears, but the miserable cry and the soul fire beating violently in the eye sockets all showed her inner excitement and sadness. The simple skeleton does not understand that the girls left her at home for the sake of her safety, and after decades of loneliness in the child's simple and sensitive mind. finally had a sister who could accompany her, but suddenly had to separate, and the pain of gaining and losing made her unable to stop crying. Moreover, the girls who were already regarded as her parents-like relatives went out with their sisters. But the unfairness of leaving himself at home also made the skeleton very uncomfortable, so no matter how the girls explained, the guy's cry was still so distressing.
In the end, the girls really couldn't help it. When I explained to her that she couldn't listen to her, and when I really scolded her, I couldn't bear to continue scolding when I saw her as timid as a newborn hamster. I don't know how he could make such a distressing appearance when he was just a skeleton, and in desperation, even Pannis had to choose to compromise and agree to take the skeleton out with him. Even so, everyone has their own limits, and they will never agree to take her into the Forest of Death, and leave her in the care of the elves before entering the forest. Of course, the deer did not agree, and after some bargaining, he still chose a compromise method, which could take her in, but only with one head, so that it could still be safe. After discovering that the adults would never give in again, the guy finally stopped crying, and happily went to play with Annie, and the speed of switching between crying and laughing was so fast that the six of them could only sigh helplessly, not knowing what to say at all.
"Don't play with your head, if you don't know where to fly when the time comes, we won't help you find it. Catherine poked her head out and threatened, before she retracted behind Pannis's back and sighed, "Are we too fond of these two things, they are becoming more and more of a headache now, alas." ”
"Isn't that what you're for?" Pannis controlled the rudder with one hand, and with the other hand quickly snatched the head of the deer's puppet and held it high in the air, the guy's laughter came from the puppet's head, and the headless body tried to reach up to his snatched head, but fortunately it was early in the morning, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, otherwise such a terrifying scene would definitely be processed into an urban legend in the near future, and it would not stop among young people. After teasing the skeleton for a while, Pannis returned her head to the deer's coquettish voice, and continued with a smile: "You see, they are becoming more and more like two normal children now, didn't you wish they could be like this from the beginning? ”
"Don't you think they're too lively and cheerful?" Catherine rolled her eyes, "Including the twins of Lina's family, they are no longer lively and cheerful when they get together. ”
"Hahahaha, this is the price, there is no way to do it. Pannis burst out laughing and teased, "If you have such a headache now, I have to worry about your future life, in case of your own ...... in the future Oh, it hurts, why are you pinching people again. ”
"That's the price. Catherine smiled softly, and her voice was gentle, as if the ungentle action was made by someone else: "You can't help it, are you right?" ”
"No, hey, stop. Pannis, who was grumbling, suddenly let out a low cry and slammed on the brakes, and three magic cars came to a halt in the middle of the road.
Looking ahead along Pannis's line of sight, at the edge of the road at the end of the line of sight, a black jungle leopard with only a few patterns on its forehead was lying quietly on the side of the road, and an emerald green figure sat sideways on the back of the jungle leopard, using the hunting bow as a harp, occasionally playing a few notes that were not in tune. Seeing the magic car stop, the emerald green figure waved his hand lightly and said leisurely: "I've passed, this time I will take the initiative." ”
"Alas. Catherine could only sigh helplessly, and did not utter a word. (To be continued...... )
