Chapter 29 The Second Night
The location here is not far from a stream about three kilometers away from the previous battlefield. After the battle, everyone insisted on a three-kilometer distance in the twilight to avoid the smell of corpses and blood, so as not to cause trouble to the newly built camp.
The blood and white insect body fluids on the surface of each carriage were washed by the stream, and the dirt on its body were washed away. Only the young team members who had experienced such bloody and protracted battles for the first time felt a little better in their stomachs and hearts, of course, it was only a little.
But soon the next problem arose. The chef in charge of dinner was an ordinary person. He did not participate in today's battle and had been hiding safely in the carriage. After the battle, several chefs wanted to make some delicious food for the young people who were fighting hard to supplement their physical strength, so they decided to cook a pot of thick broth with a strong aroma of sticky meat sauce and soft white bread. For people living in the wild, such a delicacy is a delicious food that is hard to enjoy in their dreams.
So, when dinner began, the team members saw light-colored pieces of meat rolling in the milky white broth, and when the dark red meat sauce made of tomato were smeared with golden bread, most of the team members vomited happily. Obviously, the insect juice and monster blood sprayed all over the afternoon caused a little trouble to everyone, but I believe everyone will be able to overcome these troubles soon, um, soon.
"Yes, I believe they can." Panis said seriously with a stern face. It was the meal time that everyone did not set up camps separately today. The city guards and the four members of the adventure group sat together. Panis scooped up a spoonful of meat sauce and artistically used the meat sauce to outline a vivid picture on a large piece of bread. He handed the bread to the only remaining member who was relatively strong and did not vomit because of dinner. The figure outlined the picture
Often, layers of meat sauce piled up together to form gullies. Overall, it looked like a complete brain stained with blood. There was a white oil slightly condensed from the cold between the gullies, which made the brain look more realistic. So the survivor was moved and ran to vomit. When Aerland also smiled bitterly to comfort and take care of the team members who were vomiting, the dining place was only the adventure group who had the exclusive pot of meat soup and a can of meat sauce.
"You are becoming more and more terrible." Catherine cleverly caught the bread thrown by the last survivor, looked at the pattern on it, sneered, and used her little spoon to add a skull pattern to the outer layer of her brain. She used a fork to dip some soup and wrote Panis's next to her, and then handed it to Lina next to her with satisfaction.
Lina took the bread, looked down at the bread, looked up at Panis, then looked down at the bread. She looked up at Panis, and finally nodded thoughtfully, then bit it down with a sudden bite. The fierce biting force made Panis feel the corners of her eyes twitch.
"I'm just to reward them." Panis touched his skull with horror and confirmed that Lina had not bitten off. Then he firmly denied Catherine's accusation: "I just out of kindness that I secretly suggested that the chefs choose this set of dinner. It was obviously to reward everyone, how could it be said that it was a bad taste? You don't think you were very happy when you ate?"
"We're just numb, which doesn't mean we like this feeling." Catherine glared at Panis. She hugged Vivian and wiped the meat sauce on her face for her. During this period, Vivian was completely unresponsive, and she was stuffing bread into her mouth mechanically. No wonder she rubbed her face: "It's like the same table of big meals, eating in a restaurant with bright lights and flowers and melodious music, and eating in a dark, damp and rotten dungeon. Except for your perverted state, no one would like to eat in the environment behind, right?"
"I'm not a different person." Panis was very happy to drink the soup with a bowl of soup. Hearing the words, he said earnestly: "I'm just training their ability to withstand it, so that they can get used to such an environment as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to their future development. Actually, I'm a good person, hahahaha."
"Smile like an idiot." Lina rolled her eyes to Panis: "Now, let's talk about the serious matters, how can I explain to Freya later?"
"I haven't asked you yet, Freya." Panis asked curiously: "What's going on between you? Why is the atmosphere suddenly different?"
"I remember I said that when she was with us three, she had a good relationship." Catherine explained: "At that time, everyone was like a family, playing and making fun together, fighting and bleeding together, and was the closest comrade-in-arms. But then she suddenly left. When she met again yesterday morning, she changed, and she looked like a good girl, and her words and deeds were kept a distance from us. Of course, we can understand that after all, she was going to get married and she might have to return to a calm and monotonous family life. We can't be like the same as before, so we cooperated with her and kept a safe distance from her communication. Who would have thought that she suddenly became like before, and gave us the feeling that the former Freya was back, and of course we were happy."
"No wonder," Panis suddenly realized: "No wonder I thought she always showed her attitude towards you was very false and artificial. It turns out that there was this reason."
"So you didn't like her before?" Catherine looked at Panis with a smile: "She has secretly complained to me, saying that you have always acted like she hates her. She still feels strange that she doesn't know where she has messed with you. It turns out that it's because of us?"
"Nonsense!" Panis denied firmly: "I just think she's talking too scary, and didn't Lina say it? She hates men to stick it on. I'm trying to create opportunities for myself, hahahaha."
"Let's make it up." Catherine ignored Panis's lies and said to Lina: "I think it might be better to tell her the actual situation. Although she is sensitive and fragile, she always has the right to know the truth now. Moreover, as long as we don't tell her that we suspect that her future father-in-law is the mastermind, it may not necessarily hurt her."
"But, don't forget that we have promised Lord Odin to hide the truth from Freya." Lina retorted: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to confess to her again?"
"The situation is different. Now she has discovered it almost the same." Catherine said: "When we agreed, we didn't expect the other party to do so obvious and frequent, so since the situation has changed, we have the right to change according to the changes in the situation. What's more, the president first violated the rules and concealed some situations from us. He breached the contract first, so we have no obligation to insist on the promise."
"Well, will this make Odin unhappy?" Lina asked, "After all, he is the president."
"You think it's better for someone like Odin who dotes on his daughter." Panis interjected: "Which one is more lethal if it makes him unhappy or his daughter unhappy."
"Okay, this reason is very good." Lina nodded and said, "I have no objection and agree to confess."
"But unify your thoughts before confessing." Katherine whispered: "You really think the mastermind behind the scenes is Kara, the president opposite?"
"Sister, it seems you think there is something wrong, too." Lina bit her lower lip lightly, her fingers unconsciously wrapped around her silver hair. This was her habitual movement when she was thinking: "I don't think it looks like it."
"What's the reason?" Catherine asked, "What's the reason for you to think so? Let's see if ours are the same."
"Although the enemy's professions during these two attacks are rare professions, and there may be other rare professions. Indeed, Kara is the most likely person to quietly mobilize these professions, which is very suspicious." Lina said: "But as Freya said, if Kara disagreed, she doesn't need to take Weisk to propose. From this point of view, it is contradictory."
"Are there any?" Catherine asked with a frown, "other reasons."
"Also, Kara's identity." Lina said: "Kara's identity is like Odin. He is not allowed to instruct his subordinates to attack the target at will, because this may lead to the expansion of the problem. Even if he privately hires others to attack us like Odin, don't forget that they are mercenaries, all teams are very large, with a smallest team of hundreds of people, and it is difficult to strictly keep secrets. And there is no large group of people coming to surround us now. Judging from the current situation, the attacks on us are more like some scattered elites, not members of the established mercenary group, so it is not like the president of the mercenary guild."
"Actually, there is another most important doubt." Panis lowered his voice and said, "Is this level of attack really the level of planning that the demigod should have?"
"What does it mean?" Catherine was stunned and asked.
"You underestimate the vision of a demigod too much." Panis curled his lips, with some inexplicable mockery in his tone: "A demigod with a normal brain will not send someone who seems to be able to succeed in important tasks like now. If this is really a demigod's plan, what appears before us will only be the legendary level that crushes all of us, or even two together, to ensure that we can succeed in an absolute way. As for the situation we are facing now, it is actually similar to children's play, and it is not as if a normal demigod should have."
"Is this true?" Catherine and Lina lowered their heads and pondered for a moment. Catherine said, "We have never seen other demigods except the President and Master Antuine, so we cannot judge. But from the feeling, what you said should be right. Since that is the case, the planning should be someone else. Who will it be?"
"Maybe, I vaguely guessed something." Panis smiled bitterly: "But there is no basis yet. Let's talk to you when there is a basis."
