"To be exact, this door is only accessible to one person. The ghoul who came out was a middle-aged woman, with a dark complexion, slender and upturned eyes, giving people a faint sense of charm, and her voice was calm and gentle, like a very gentle woman: "As for who can pass guò, I don't think I need to explain." Of course, a few people can break through if they want to, and none of us will stop it, but whether you can enter the ceremony at that time, I believe you already have the answer in your hearts. ”

"Will you divide us into several parts and solve them separately?" Catherine put her one-handed sword back into its scabbard and said with a sneer: "Your plan is really good, it has been going on since the very beginning of using temptation to provoke Mr. Dilly, but it's a pity that Mr. Dilly directly pulled all the demonic beasts into his own realm, so you had to change part of your plan." ”

"It's not coercive, and you can choose to say no. The female ghoul smiled faintly and said, "Actually, from my personal point of view, I hope you can refuse, and even hope that you can turn around and leave, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices." If you go back now, the door of death will be opened, but you can join the resistance of intelligent creatures, contribute your strength, and maybe find another way to reclose the door of death like a hundred years ago, rather than dying in vain like now. ”

"I remember, I should have met you, at a mercenary group meeting in Free City, we happened to be in Mercenary City, and we were invited to watch the conference. The female ghoul's words surprised everyone, and for the first time, Pannis took a serious look at her appearance, and suddenly said: "That time you followed Naldu of the Palm Leaf Mercenary Regiment, it seems that you are only a teenager, you are a logistics mercenary, or Naldu's entourage? I kind of forgot what I said. ”

"Commander Naldu was a very strict commander, appointed me as the commander's personal soldier, and was very strict with me, reprimanding me in public several times. Of course, I later understood that the regimental commander wanted to train me, which was his unique kindness, but I felt very sad at the time, and the time I saw you was when I wanted to quit the mercenary group the most. The female ghoul smiled with a hint of gratitude. He said softly: "No one has noticed a young man of the regiment commander

"Well, I've done this before, I don't even remember. Pannis scratched his head and said, "The world is so small." I persuaded you then, and now it's you who persuade me?"

"Yes, I really want to persuade you not to go in, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to prevent the door of death from reopening. The female ghoul said seriously: "Instead of wasting your life here, it is better to throw yourself into the war that follows." ”

"Can you tell us why you say that?" Catherine seemed to feel the sincerity of the female ghoul, and Catherine's tone softened, and she asked softly, "Are the strength of those two half-dead really so strong?"

"I'm sorry, it's the limit to say this now, and if you say it in detail, it means betrayal, and I haven't planned to betray my camp yet. The female ghoul smiled apologetically, "The two priests have learned of my gratitude to Mr. Kyle, and have granted me permission not to participate in this battle, but this is already the biggest concession to me, and if I want to say more, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to accept." ”

"However, with just a few words like yours, we can't give up our purpose. Catherine shook her head and said, "We are here to prevent the door of death from reopening, and no matter how strong the force of the obstacle, we will not back down." ”

"Well, I knew it would be this outcome. The female ghoul shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Maybe that's why the two celebrants allowed me to tell you these things, not only will they not discourage you from stopping the ritual, but they may have the opposite effect and strengthen your determination." ”

"I'm sorry, but it's true. Catherine sighed and said, "However, I don't think you are a person who will be tempted by the promised benefits of the half-dead, so why do you want to be like this and stand in their camp?"

"What do you think we should be like? Cruel, vicious, murderous, very evil? It is true that there are some of us who exist, and there are quite a few of them, but they do not represent all of them. The female ghoul shook her head and said, "There are also many people who don't participate in those evil acts, but when needed, they can fight for the two priests." ”

"Then why did you want to be turned into a ghoul by them?" Catherine asked.

"Why? Because I'm afraid of death, very, very afraid of death. The female ghoul did not shy away from her weaknesses at all, and said very bluntly: "Unlike you adventurers, we are mercenaries, mercenaries who are accustomed to seeing death, the enemy's, our own, every battle, death may befall us." Do you think that when you see too much death, you will not be afraid? No, on the contrary, the more you see death, the more you will be afraid of death, so in the period before I died, I did not hesitate to pay any price to live. At that time, the two priests approached me, and I could continue to live, but the price I paid was only to help them fight when they needed it, how could I refuse, and what reason did I have to refuse? Of course, only a few of our earliest revenants had this kind of preferential treatment, and those who joined later had no choice but to fight for them. ”

"Well, I see, thank you for your willingness to sue us for this, and thank you for your willingness to remind us, although we are not willing to accept your advice. Catherine nodded, "Can you tell me more about what happened after that?" of course, on the basis of not affecting you. ”

"Yes, it doesn't have to be kept secret. The female ghoul nodded with a heavy face, "First of all, the two Lord Priests want Lord Kyle to enter the ceremony alone, because your soul is connected to my lord's world, and if you die completely between the rituals, your soul will become the best sacrifice." Of course, the two High Priests also know about your immortality, but it seems that they have some way to weaken this trait every time you die, and maybe after many deaths, you will never be able to resurrect again. ”

"I've been mentally prepared. Pannis nodded not at all surprised, "If they didn't have this method, they wouldn't have been able to lure me here." Heh, but I seem to be underestimated, after regaining their full strength, even if there are two of them, do you really think they can kill me many times?"

"Maybe you have enough self-confidence, but I'm afraid your self-confidence won't be able to stop the two Celebrants, after all, ......" The female ghoul sighed and continued, "As for the ladies, they must stay here, and if the ladies want to follow and break in, the Presiding Priests will immediately close the ceremony and take a backup plan." ”

"They're probably not just about staying here. "I don't believe it, the group in the back is just praying there," Pannis said. ”

"Well, Lord Kyle, you guessed it right, the battle will definitely break out, now there are twenty-one of our companions, except for the four people who chose to avoid it, including me, the other seventeen companions who are also Legendary are all here, as well as those necromancers, their task is to eliminate a few ladies as hidden dangers here. The female ghoul smiled bitterly, "It is impossible for a few ladies to win under their siege, unless you completely withdraw from the temple. However, once you exit the temple, everyone here will be reverted back to the ritual and participate in the battle with Lord Kyle. The plans of the Lord Priest have already calculated how many ladies you will not choose to leave Mr. Kyle and flee even if you die here. ”

"Is there anything else?" Catherine was also not surprised at all, even if she knew that her five girls might face the siege of hundreds of strong men, she only asked with a faint smile: "They are already very cautious about our variables, so they should have no other preparations." ”

"Yes, no. The female ghoul sighed again, knowing that she couldn't convince the person in front of her to turn back, so she could only say bitterly: "I think I have understood your choice, I can only bless you, I hope you can hold on for a while longer." ”

The female ghoul looked at everyone's faces one last time, as if she wanted to keep every face in mind, bowed deeply to Pannis, and turned away without saying a word.

"Whatever the outcome......" Just as the female ghoul was about to push open the door behind her and return to the apse, Pannis suddenly said, "Thank you, Matilda." ”

The female ghoul jerked back, her eyes flashing with an incomprehensible emotion, her lips twitching to say something, but Pannis smiled and waved her hand, "Go back, we'll survive." ”
