Chapter 9: The Trust That Crushes the Heart

"I think I guessed what happened. Catherine nodded thoughtfully and said, "However, can any of you answer my question, what is the soul whisper?"

"It's a way to speak directly to the heart. Vivien said, "I'm just curious why Galantis chose the more troublesome lingua franca instead of using soul whispers to communicate. ”

"Because Mom said that humans don't like soul-to-soul conversations. Galantis explained: "She said that human beings have a strange heart, although it is only a one-sided conversation, and we can't directly receive human thoughts, but even then humans don't like this, hiss. And soul whispering can only be carried out between individuals, hiss, if several people talk together, me and the mage sister your soul whisper, the knight sister can't hear it, hiss, so it's very troublesome, so I rarely use soul whispers in the outside world, hiss, although the lingua franca is a little laborious to say, but it won't cause other people to be unhappy, hiss, mom said that when communicating between different races, you need to take care of each other's preferences and taboos, hiss, she said that this is what her uncle said. ”

"Hahaha, today's food is so delicious. Pannis laughed dryly: "The weather outside is also good, I think it's very suitable for traveling, well, I'll go and see it first, oh don't drag me, I can't go if I don't go." ”

"They all said don't make trouble, no one will pursue you. Catherine glared at Pannis angrily and funny, and pulled Galantis's hand covered with scales, the lizardman's hand was cold to the touch, but it was not as slippery as a reptile as expected, but it felt very dry, and the scales on the surface of the body were small and tight, and the roughness of the connection between the scales was not felt at all, and the touch was smooth and hard, as if wearing a delicately made scale armor outside the body. Taking Galantis' hand, Catherine smiled and asked, "Galan, let's go back to the swamp with you to visit your mother, Lord Alcmene, I wonder if you are welcome?"

"Of course you welcome, hiss. Galantis let go of the tail wrapped around Pannis's calf. Shaking it around behind his back and saying, "Mom likes visitors from different races the most, hiss, although I always feel very low after chatting with a visitor, but the next time a visitor comes." I will still have a great time listening to the visitors tell the legends of the outside world, hissing and hissing. Mom's favorite thing to do is to discuss the stories of heroes from a hundred years ago with those visitors, and I don't know why Mom is so interested in such stories. ”

"Oh, you don't know why?" the girls gave Pennis a thoughtful look. Catherine asked, "Didn't the High Priestess tell you?" It is said that the High Priestess and those heroes are from the same era, and perhaps they have had some kind of communication with each other, which is why they care so much about the stories of those heroes. ”

"No, Mom has only been out of the swamp once. The lizardman lady shook her triangular head and said, "I left with my uncle and knight sister that time, hiss, I shouldn't have had a chance to contact the heroes of those races." But it's really weird, it's such an important event for all races, it stands to reason that mom should also participate, hiss, but mom didn't go. Shhh ”

"In that campaign, the organizers did not invite the unique demigods of a certain race or a certain force, and if such a demigod died, it would have a serious impact on a certain race or a certain force, and the organizers deliberately avoided the emergence of such an outcome. Pannis explained: "So, although Alcmene is powerful, she should be excluded because of her special status and importance to the swamp. ”

"No wonder this is the case. Galantis nodded. Suddenly reacted, and asked in surprise: "Hiss, knight sister, are you serious?" Really, really?"

Catherine did not answer directly, but cast her gaze to Pennis's face. The clever knight girl knows very well that for a man like Pannis, there are some things that can be decided for him as a joke, but there are some key issues that he still has to decide. Otherwise, even if he won't show it, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable in his heart, and such discomfort will accumulate to a certain extent, which will lead to contradictions. And get along with each other day and night, and smart women will naturally know how to avoid this kind of contradiction, instead of doing everything according to their own ideas.

Pannis naturally noticed the doubt in Catherine's eyes, thought for a moment, sighed and said, "I haven't seen Alcmene for many years, and I don't know what she has become now. It's good to meet now, old friends for so many years, once you see each other, you don't have one less time. Okay, let's go to the swamp together, but don't cry if you get bitten by a mosquito, which is one of the most terrifying creatures for the outside world. ”

"We have nothing to worry about. Vivien winked at Pennis, and said in a teasing tone, "You have so many tricks, I don't believe there is no effective way to deal with swamp mosquitoes." So we're not in a hurry at all, and when you get there, you'll naturally have a way to solve these problems, and everything that has gone before proves it, right. ”

"Vivien. Catherine shook her head at the mage girl and said seriously: "We can figure out this kind of thing by ourselves, and we can't leave all the problems to Pennis to solve." I know that you trust him, but many times, the blind trust and reliance of others will completely crush a person's heart. It's like you can trust me, but you never think I'm omnipotent, for everybody, and when everybody thinks you're omnipotent, you're at a dead end, right, Pannis. ”

"Maybe, who knows. Pannis scoffed, not knowing whether he was laughing at others or himself, shrugged and said, "I don't have time to think about this now, I'm working on a more important issue." ”

"What's the matter?" Catherine asked in surprise, "Is there anything more important than this?"

"Of course there is, and it's a matter of life. Pannis straightened his face and said seriously: "I'm researching, if someone knows that we have eaten seven hundred and sixty-two gold coins in this meal, can I, as the person who ordered the meal, still be able to see the rising sun again tomorrow morning." ”

"Pennis!" Catherine's face froze, trembling all over, and she lowered her voice and said, "I think it's time for us to talk." (To be continued.) )

ps: I didn't go to the hospital for an infusion last night, but something very oolong happened. I burned last night in a daze, half-asleep, and dreamed that I had finished writing this morning's chapter update, so I slept very peacefully, in ancient language, it was relaxed and lying. Then after waking up this morning, I thought about it carefully, and I didn't write a word yet, hahahaha, so I was late for the update.
