Chapter 321: Wine
Theoretically, the Temple of Death is empty, and it has been confirmed that both the half-dead and the necromancers in the temple are dead, and the ghouls who rely on the death energy of the half-dead to maintain their physical vitality automatically lose their lives after the death of the half-dead, so there is only a dead silence left in the temple. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are still necromancers lurking in the temple, but this possibility is not great, after all, the half-dead in the last battle also paid special attention to it, mobilizing the power that can be mobilized, and even the silver-level necromancers are involved in the battle, and it is unlikely that other necromancers will be left as a reserve. With the obedience of the necromancers to the half-dead, it is also unlikely that they will secretly hide against the orders of the half-dead, and in the temple, even if they want to hide, it is impossible to escape the perception of the half-dead, so it stands to reason that there should be nothing inside the temple that can move freely.
However, the door of the temple, in the dark night, was opened from the inside, this strange change, made the girls feel chills, even if the girls are strong, but after all, they are still women, for this unexplained unknown phenomenon, there is always a weak uneasiness for no reason. However, in the next moment, the girls returned to normal, if the open door was also empty, only a black hole door, then maybe the girls' uneasiness would last a few more seconds, but this was not the case, after the door was opened, a figure slowly walked out from behind the door, so the uneasiness caused by the unknown quickly faded, and all of them returned to normal.
Pannis also regained his composure from his alert state, and reappeared with a leisurely appearance, seeing his watch, although he didn't understand why someone came out of the temple, but his trust in Kyle made Dilly also break away from his vigilant posture and lie down next to the campfire, allowing the temperature of the flames to continue to scorch the injured part.
"Yo, you're still alive, little one. Pannis waved lazily: "I have to say, you really surprised me this time, come and sit down?"
"It's surprising indeed, we all thought you were gone. Catherine took a few steps forward, as if to greet her, but she skillfully protected the weak Vivien and the sleeping Eva behind her, nodded and said, "Actually, the moment I saw you, my mood was very delicate, I was happy from the bottom of my heart that you were still alive, but I also felt very uneasy and embarrassed, can you understand? ”
For Catherine's faintly hostile expression, Matilda, who was a ghoul, only smiled gently, walked not far from the bonfire without any defense, consciously kept a safe distance, knelt down beside the bonfire, and said softly: " Not only did you have an accident, but we were also surprised, after the death of the two archbishops, the four of us at the same time felt that the power of death that supported us was rapidly disappearing, at that time we thought that we would also die, and we were ready to accept fate, but we didn't expect that all four of us actually survived. ”
"Does that mean that the three half-dead weren't all really dead?" asked Pannis, "and one of them survived?" No, it's unlikely. ”
"It is true that the archbishops have all died. Matilda shook her head and said, "However, before our body is about to collapse, we have received a new replenishment of death energy, so we can survive, and this death energy comes from the image of our lord, you should know what this means." ”
"Is it the gift of death?" said Pannis, thoughtfully, "since you are lucky enough to survive, you should cherish your life and hide in the temple and wait for us to leave, why should you come out and let us know? ”
"However, the Divine Servant has perished, we have not participated in any evil rituals before, and naturally we will not in the future, and now we are just a few believers who believe in death. Matilda said calmly, "Therefore, although the war between you and our lord is not over, we believe that you will not be angry with a few of us ordinary believers because of the war with our lord. ”
"Indeed, the war is not over. Hearing this for the second time, Pannis said noncommittally, "So, what are the plans of the four of you?"
"We will stay in the temple and wait for the end of the war. Matilda said without concealment: "This is the oracle sent down by our lord, and it is also our will, we will always stay here, after the end of the war, if our lord really falls again, then we will naturally lose our lives again, but as long as our lord's godhead remains, we need to stand up and correctly guide the faith in our lord." It is safer for us to guide than for the unknown believers who are still hidden in the world to interpret the will of our Lord, right?"
"Perhaps, I can't say those things, but I can be sure that you have had no ill will towards us since the first meeting, and that it would be much easier to act on your advice than it is now. Panis Pannis nodded, "If you can really do what you promised, it's not impossible to let the four of you stay here." ”
"We can swear by our lord's throne or by the name of Lord Yara. Matilda uttered two of Yara's most important vows: "We will keep our promises, and there will be no lies." ”
Including Dilly, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and finally put their trusting eyes on Pannis, indicating that it was up to him to decide, Pannis nodded, groped his chin and said: "Actually, you also know very well, we have no intention of killing all of you completely, we just want to destroy the Divine Servant and stop your ritual." ”
"Yes, we've actually thought of it. Matilda smiled softly and respectfully, "That's why I dare to come out to meet you on behalf of the four of us, with this Miss Knight and Mr. Kyle here, in fact, we are not worried about our safety at all, even if the war is not over, we believe that you will not kill indiscriminately." ”
"I don't think there's any need for you to come out and verify. Pannis shook his head and said, "I think you have something else to do." ”
"I want to dedicate this to you. Matilda untied a pocket from her belt and handed it to Panis, "This is my treasure, and I think it's fitting to dedicate it to you." ”
"What is this?" Pannis took the pocket Matilda handed him and asked casually, "Like a wine bottle." ”
"Well, this is a bottle of McKinway wine that I treasured. Matilda said respectfully, "I think you'll like it." (To be continued.) )
