"Pennis!" Catherine in the safe area was horrified to find that Pannis, who was soaked in blood, was lying on the ground and could no longer find any breath of life on his body. The blood sprayed out of his body gathered on the rocks on the ground. In a few seconds, it had gathered into a pool, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

"Pennis, wake me up." Catherine was still standing at the entrance of the cave, but could not lower her head to check Pannis's body. She could only stare at the strange man in the opposite cave, not daring to relax at all. How long will the sound wave attack outside stop? How long will the next attack be between? Will the enemy rush over? How can we find Lina and Vivian? Although the hand holding the sword is still firm, the questions in our hearts are emerging one after another.

"I really hope that the voice that sounds like a thousand miles away but actually answers all questions and answers sounded from behind to answer your own questions!" The passing of a familiar life made Catherine feel sad, staring at the enemy, and muttering softly: "Bitch, wake up quickly. You usually look like an expert, and you can easily solve any problem. Why can't you even be able to stand up now? Such a simple thing won't stump you? Get up quickly, we need you, I am your employer, you will be unwilling to get up and you will have to pay for it if you violate my orders. Get up quickly and tell us when the attack outside will stop?"

"The attack will last for three minutes, and there is still one and a half minutes now. And he shouldn't dare to come over. If he chases him, it will repeat the situation just now, just offense and defense. Then it will be his death date, and he won't be so stupid."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey?" Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Catherine even thought she had hallucinations. She lost the maturity she usually showed for the first time. She made a series of surprises like a little girl, and didn't even bother to stare at the enemy opposite, and turned her head to look behind her.

Panis was exactly the same as when he first entered the Crystal Forest, with no trace of injury at all, and no trace of blood was stained on his clothes. At this time, he was holding his hands in his chest, leaning against the rock wall as if nothing had happened, his face still had the usual indifference that kept people from thousands of miles away.

"You, you, this, this, this, this," Catherine felt that the bloody Panis he had just seen seemed to be his own illusion, and he couldn't help looking down at his feet. The "corpse" at his feet was rapidly fading, turning into countless particles and floating in the air, and the pungent bloody smell quickly faded away and became vague. In a moment, the original "corpse" on the ground turned into nothingness and disappeared completely.

"What the hell is this?" Katherine, overwhelmed by everything in front of her, said swearing in the first time against the Knight's morality.

"I will not die if I just have a little trick." Panis shrugged indifferently, his voice was still cold, but his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Catherine: "If you want to look like an expert, you must know some tricks, otherwise how can you solve all the problems?"

"Ahem." Catherine coughed a few times, and turned the subject with red face: "So, won't the enemy chase after me?"

"You see it yourself." Panis raised his chin to the opposite side: "He has gone."

Sure enough, after seeing Panis appearing as if nothing had happened, the hunched monster opposite him stomped his feet regretfully, slowly retreated, and his figure disappeared into the darkness of the passage.

"It's time for us to leave, too." Panis took out two crystal stones to replace the light source on his helmet, and sorted out the equipment on his body: "We have to go around and look for them. I just told them to wait for us on the spot and go over quickly."

"Wait." Catherine took out the resonance crystal and gently shocked it with the fighting spirit three times. After a while, the crystal in her hand also vibrated three times, and then she put the crystal away: "They are safe, let's go over, how long will it take?"

"If we were the two of us, we could get there in four hours." Panis put on his helmet and sank into the darkness: "Be mentally prepared. Although we won't pass through any dangerous areas, the road is very difficult. When we get there, try to find a way to open up the gravel at the entrance of the hole, which will be much more convenient."

"Okay." As he walked through the passage at high speed, Catherine suddenly asked quietly: "Mr. Pannis, why did you push me in just now?"

"Because I have a trick to save my life and will not be hurt, but you don't." Panis replied indifferently: "You are the employer, and if you protect you, you will lose money."

"Don't mention this again." Hearing Panis repeating the nonsense he had just been in a hurry, Catherine roared angrily: "This is an order, if you mention it again, you will have to pay."

"Haha." Panis showed a sincere smile in front of the girl for the first time, although it was only a moment: "Okay, I'll shut up. But you, you just wanted to push me in first, right? You don't have these tricks, you will really die. Don't you know?"

"Of course I know." Catherine smiled proudly: "But I am a knight. Isn't this the principle of a knight?"

"It's the answer again. Because you are a knight, do you have to protect others?" Panis sighed unpredictably and said, "Stop, is there a gap here? Let's get in. It's very narrow here and you can only walk sideways. Then why do you want to become a knight?"

"Hu, huh, it's so crowded. If you're a little fat, you really can't get over it. Why? Is it necessary to become a knight?" Catherine moved hard in the narrow gap.

"There is a reason for doing anything." Panis took out a dagger, poured his fighting spirit and cut off two rocks, slightly widening the road ahead, and then continued to ask: "Some people are for reputation, some are for profit, and some are for others to get recognition and praise from others. What about you? You stick to the principles of knights and aim at Neri as your goal and belief. What are you for? Reputation? Interest? Status? Money? Glory?"

"I'm so tired." Catherine leaned against the rock behind her back and gasped softly, feeling that it was harder to penetrate the gap of more than 100 meters than usual to run more than ten kilometers: "It's not this, I think, maybe it's because of happiness."

Penis, who had drilled out of the gap, waved his hand and said, "What is this reason?"

Catherine took up her backpack again, took out a velvet cloth and wiped the dust stained on the rock walls of the chain armor: "It's because of happiness. Being a knight will make me sincerely happy, so I chose the Knight's Road."

"It was just because of happiness." Panis was completely stunned, and even forgot to continue to set out, and started moving forward again at Catherine's reminder.

"Yes." Catherine's smile was very natural, as if she was back to the past: "I once hesitated before standing in front of the fork in my choice, but when I thought that I would not be happy in my life in the future and I would regret it for the rest of my life, I only have to accept this choice, right? I don't want to live in unhappy regrets every day in the future."

"I get it." Panis turned a corner, changed into waterproof shoes and pants, and jumped into a waist-deep river with Catherine, bent over and walked through.

"And you made one mistake, Mr. Pannis." Catherine said while trying not to get her upper body wet, "You have reversed your relationship with me. I protect others because of happiness. Whenever I help others who need it, whenever I protect the justice in my heart, whenever I redeemed the people in trouble, it is the happiest time in my life. Seeing justice open, fairness is maintained, weak and weak are saved, is there anything in the world that is more happy than doing these things with your own hands? Because of this, I want to be a knight, so I must be careful in the way of the knight, not as you think, because I do this because I must be a knight."

"Bang." Hearing Catherine's words, Panis suddenly straightened his waist in shock and hit the rock above his head heavily. Fortunately, he was protected by a helmet and was not injured. He lowered his head and murmured: "You, you, you... So that's how it is. Huh, then, are you the same too?"

"What are you talking about? Are you asking me?" Catherine asked curiously.

"No, nothing." Panis shook his head heavily, his voice that was undetectable was like returning to the long past: "Is this the difference between us? It turns out that I have been on the wrong path? Haha, is it this what you always want to tell me with your actions? My...love."

"Pennis." Catherine did not hear the whisper in Panis's heart and asked tentatively: "Mr. Panis, you must have had a knight friend in the past, right? You are very, very good friends?"

Catherine couldn't see it, and the expression on Panis's face suddenly became cold, but she could feel that cold and indifference and indifference emitting again. Faced with the pressure of indifference, Catherine continued the problem: "From your attitude towards me these days, I can feel what must have happened between you later, can you tell me?"

Panis fell silent, and Catherine was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for his answer.

"Miss Catherine." After more than ten minutes of silence, Panis finally spoke, his voice still cold and merciless: "I have asked you, why can't you walk when you hear the sound of gold coins?"

"No."

"I've asked you why Lina's personality changes with different books every day?"

"No."

"Then I have asked you why Vivian is immersed in her own world all day long and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others?"

"Well, I understand what you mean, Pennis." Catherine shook her head and sighed: "I won't ask again."
