Chapter 32 Mutual Infection
"Tread, step, step", the rapid sound of horse hooves echoed on the hills.
In two days, the convoy had left the capital of Knowledge for more than 140 kilometers, and was only more than 400 kilometers away from the destination Free City. However, veterans who often walk this route know that the real journey has just begun. All the roads I have walked before were just appetizing desserts, without ruggedness, high-level monsters, bandits, and crisis. It can only be regarded as a warm-up exercise. Crossing the hill in front of me is the beginning of the real suffering.
"This is the Eagle Feather Hill, with a height of 400 meters, and is one of the few hills in the Reale territory." Knowing that Pannis was not very familiar with the terrain near the Capital of Knowledge, Catherine whispered to Pannis: "It is said that when the road was built, it was discussed to build an arc around the hills, but although this hill was not high, it covers a very large area. If you want to detour, you have to build at least 60 kilometers more. Whether it is manpower, material resources, financial resources, or construction period, it will be much higher than the budget. So the person in charge of the construction at that time gritted his teeth and decided to pass the road directly from the hills. The facts proved that he was right. In this way, the people who built the road were not only convenient and fast, but also added a very beautiful landscape to the Capital of Knowledge."
"What landscape?" Panis was stunned. He didn't expect Catherine to mention the natural landscape, and couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know in a while." Catherine pointed to the top of the hill in front of her: "You can see the landscape when you get there."
"I have to say, this made me very curious." Panis looked at the hills not far away with interest: "Why should I run up and take a look first?"
"Be patient, you won't be disappointed." Catherine said with a smile: "I've seen it many times, but I still stop to enjoy it every time."
"Tread", the sound of horse hooves came towards us. Two city guards ran back from the front, made all normal gestures, and then returned to the team to move slowly, while the other two team members rushed out quickly and rushed forward along the main road. After the journey began on the third day, Captain Ailan was cautiously sent out scouts like a marching. All city guards were divided into fifteen groups, starting every ten minutes, and quickly moving forward for five kilometers, checking the situation along the way and turning back immediately. In this way, three groups of scouts would basically pass through ten kilometers in the front of the team at any time. Once there was a dangerous situation, regardless of whether the scout was blocked, the team could get news quickly.
However, today is very strange. I went forward for several hours without any attack or obstacles, as if the other party had given up. However, several people who knew the inside story knew that the other party had definitely not given up, because the letter I received in the morning specifically stated that the Death Weaver left the stage as an individual. This shows two problems. First, the other party is not a fixed team. Instead, it forms a loose alliance in personal capacity to hinder the marriage sending team. Second, the other party must not have left the stage.
Everyone has also studied it on the way. The makeup artist who left was named Fiona. He has his own studio in Zhizhi. He is famous in the art world. There is a legend that she used to be an adventurer, or she has not given up her identity even now. From the behavior she exposed her identity and left without any concern this morning, it can be seen that she is fully confident. The Neri Adventure Group, who is also an adventurer, will not cause trouble for her, and the president Odin will not cause trouble for her. This is even more certain that the other party has not regarded the behavior of these days as a war, but only as a contest.
"It feels like a game." Lina sat on the back of her legs together, with her elegant posture and charming eyes. Where she saw her eyes, the young men blushed one after another, lowering their heads, not daring to look at her: "Or it's like a bet. If the wedding can be held successfully, we will win. If it can't be held successfully, they will win, haha, it's actually quite interesting."
"When you say it, it seems to be a bit like it." Catherine nodded, feeling her spirit suddenly became excited, and her eyes shining: "Since it's a bet, we must win and never lose."
"Sister, calm down." Vivian was hesitant whether he needed to use a spell like freezing to calm down Catherine: "Although it's like a bet, no one is placing a bet. Even if you win, you won't win money."
"Well, that's really a pity." Catherine fell down immediately, but soon cheered up again: "That can't be lost, even if it's not a war, it's just a bet without bets. This not only concerns Freya's future and happiness, but also our honor. We must win, we must win."
"Is that true?" Panis touched his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly realized: "So that's true, these two bastards."
"What? Panis, what did you think of?" While Panis was thinking, Catherine had recovered from the forced 'persuasion' of Lina and Vivian. When she saw Panis' expression, she asked: "Every time you make this expression, you basically figured out something. What did you figure out this time?"
"Uh, forget it this time, forgive me for hiding it." Panis thought for a while and made a sorry expression: "I guess I guessed that the same thing, but I can't say it, at least I can't say it now, and I can't do anyone. Sorry, the special situation is just for Freya, and for everyone's good. Everything follows the original steps, okay?"
"If you insist, of course it's okay." Catherine pondered for a moment and smiled: "As long as we trust each other, kind concealment is not unacceptable. Just like you said, everything is planned as planned, what do you say?"
No one answered. After Lina and Vivian heard that Panis wanted to hide it, they did not continue to pay attention. Even with Lina's curiosity, they had no idea of asking or protesting at all. Naturally, they were involved in their own world again. Discovering the reaction of their friends, Katherine made a rare cute move, and blinked at Panis mischievously, with an expression of looking at you.
Panis scratched his head, his face changed, and finally his eyes rolled up and stared at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What are you talking about?" The four of them walked at the front of the team. But at this time the luxurious carriage behind them increased their speed and rushed up. Freya asked in the carriage: "About me?"
"Are you a flame salamander?" Vivian tilted his head and looked at the carriage.
"Of course not, how could I be that kind of monster?" Freya said dissatisfiedly: "I am a pure human."
"That's not about you." Vivian nodded seriously, making up a lie seriously: "I'm explaining to them the buff effect of the reverse arc channel on the flame magic of the flame salamander and its reasons."
"This is a fallacy, this is the biggest scam." Freya was immediately distracted and said loudly: "The magic system of the flame salamander is obviously a folded and trans-superized type. This is why their flame magic can surpass its own level. It is not a reverse arc at all."
"Hahaha." When Vivian heard this, she had completely forgotten why she talked about this topic to Freya before, and laughed three times in a straight tone: "Silly, this is the second stupid theory in the history of the Quaternary. A liar like Olivia who misleads the world should be thrown into the nest of the Flame Salamander. The reverse arc channel has been proved by countless experiments and is an unquestionable truth. By the way, the first stupid thing is the fool in the early Quaternary who wanted to prove that the crystal was the crystal of the dragon's magic. Hahaha, this joke is good, write it down."
The two of them completely ignored the environment and others, one inside and one outside, one slapped the table and the other slapped the carriage, and started a fierce quarrel across the carriage. Panis looked at Vivian who had forgotten some and hit Catherine with his elbow: "Is Vivian's body really bad? Why do I think that with this momentum, she will live longer than we combined?"
"Haha. Life is so beautiful." Catherine said with a dry smile with a sloppy look on her face: "Just as before, the world is peaceful."
"I finally understand what Lina said yesterday, about what happened to them discussing knowledge in the room with fireballs and crystal guns." Pannis patted Catherine on the shoulder with a sad face: "Thank you for your hard work."
Catherine looked up at the sky and said tragically: "It's okay, I can hold on. Moreover, the chaos is about to end, and she is finally going to get married."
"Haha." Panis smiled strangely, and patted his shoulder again sympathetically, but said nothing.
"Catherine. Have you noticed it?" Lina smiled strangely, but what's even more strange is that Panis always feels that Lina's temperament has changed a bit strangely: "I have come into contact with Panis. Sometimes you speak a little like him. You used to be serious and serious. You wouldn't say such words with this expression."
Catherine's body stiffened instantly, twisting her neck at once, making Panis look like a creaking sound effect on the muscles on her neck. Catherine barely turned her face to Lina with a desperate and begging look.
Lina ignored the prayer in Catherine's eyes, nodded sadly and sympathetically, and strengthened her tone: "Accept the reality, Catherine, every word I said is true, it has indeed become a bit similar. Well, unfortunately, you were infected by him."
"Am I infected by...?" Catherine's eyes became blank, she lowered her head powerlessly, and murmured: "I'm desperate, I'm already desperate."
"Well, although I don't understand what's going on, I suddenly had an ominous premonition." Panis said to Lina blankly: "I think it's safer for me to go and see the scenery first."
"Hehe, don't you think it's too late?" Lina's sweet and elegant smile made Panis feel cold, and her sense of weirdness became stronger: "I suggest you look back."
Turning back, you saw two vicious gazes and a shining sword: "Sure enough, you are the source of all evil. The duty of the knight is to cut off all sins!"
"Hey, I really did nothing this time." Panis shouted innocently and ran on his horse: "I'm really innocent this time."
"Your existence is original sin! Die!"
