Chapter 95 Christo's House
"Yo, girl." Panis fled under Lina's condemnational gaze and appeared behind Freya in an instant, waved her hand at Renee, showing a smile that made people want to beat him: "Crystal can't wait? He actually asked you to come here to guard us every day. Catherine, if you are fine, come together, Ava, go with us, and introduce you to you."
"Okay, let's go and have a look together." Catherine nodded and said, "It's considered that the mission has been officially handed over."
The girls just returned home and before they had time to change their clothes, they didn't have to clean up anything. They walked out of the living room and hugged them in front of the door. A little girl was also chased out, but Catherine stopped them: "You guys, reflect at home and don't go out to run around. We'll be back soon and have dinner together tonight. Okay, Renee, how about it? Is Master Christo already waiting in a hurry? I'm sorry, the distance this time is too far, and it's really been a bit long."
"It's not long," Renee said with a deep impression: "But Master Christo is in a bad state these days. He is worried that he can't wait for you to find him, so he urges me to come here to wait for you every day."
"Yeah?" The smile on Panis's face froze, his eyebrows slowly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Christo... isn't he in good condition? Wasn't he doing well before? Although he was a little weak, he still had the strength to run to the Tower of Colossus to quarrel with us. Why did he suddenly worry that he couldn't wait for us to come back? What happened in the past few months?"
"Actually nothing happened." Renee took everyone into a large carriage. He gestured to the coachman, and the carriage quickly started and drove quickly on the road. In the carriage, Renee continued, "It's just that the master is old and his health will become very poor in winter. But this time it seems a bit serious. The city lord came back two days earlier than you, and has already visited Master Antuyin of the Mage Guild. It is said that even the president of Free City is on the way. They did not explain the specific situation of the master to me, but judging from my usual situation when I take care of the master's daily life, I am very worried that Master will soon be unable to stand it. It is difficult for the master to get up these days. Basically, he can only lie in the bed every day."
"It's actually... so serious?" Panis looked strange, leaning against the wall of the car, staring blankly at the scene of moving backwards outside the window, muttering: "I didn't expect. Will it be impossible so soon?"
"What's wrong with you?" Eva asked in a straight voice with her long blonde hair expressionlessly: "Why is it suddenly becoming so heavy? It's strange. Who are you talking about? What happened to him?"
"I said before that you want to tell someone about your situation. The Master Christo we mentioned just now is that person." Catherine whispered in Eva's ear: "He is not in good health and may not be able to hold on."
"Can't hold on? Does it mean you're going to die?" Eva blinked and searched the memory bank for relevant knowledge: "Since you're not in good health, why not treat it? Although the current medical technology is different from the Goblin era, it's still quite developed. If you get sick, can you cure it?"
"It's not that simple." Catherine whispered: "Master, he is not completely sick. He is too old and his physical functions can no longer be supported. Therefore, he is as weak as Renee said, which is incurable."
"It turns out that it is aging, which is indeed an incurable disease." Eva nodded seriously and said, "Even if the organs in the whole body are replaced, the death caused by aging cannot be stopped. Although I don't understand that feeling very much, I have seen some researchers in the center before who died of aging, and even the survival pod cannot prolong their lives. It seems to be a very terrible thing."
"It's really scary, almost everyone can't escape this ending." Catherine glanced at Panis and added: "There may be exceptions, but most people will do this."
"Is this also a God's punishment?" Eva tilted her head expressionlessly, "Otherwise, why would such a terrible thing happen?"
"No, this is not a God's punishment. This is the fate of every mortal person, the ultimate fate that cannot be escaped." Catherine shook her head and said, "No matter whether it is long or short, the life of mortal person is limited after all. Sooner or later, this day will come. No one can resist unless he reaches the altar. It is precisely because of this that many people hope to stand by the gods after death and continue their will and life in another way."
"Sorry, I can't understand it." Eva said, "What about you? Will you come to this day too? And, what about me? Will my body also embark on this final path?"
"We will do it. If we don't die on the road of adventure, then one day, we will grow old and weaken and cannot act on our own. We can only lie on the hospital bed and slowly usher in the coming of death." Catherine sighed and said in a voice that only Eva could hear: "But you shouldn't. You have the body of the Gods and people. You have spent more than 10,000 years. You will eventually live like Sieghen until eternity."
"So, in the end, will I become alone?" Eva said blankly: "Can you not be with me like Sighn, even if you keep hostile?"
"Sorry, these are things we can't do." Catherine touched Eva's head and shook her head and said, "But you don't have to worry. There are still decades left. During this period, you will gradually become familiar with this new world, slowly make new friends, and adapt to this new life. At that time, you will no longer be lonely, and you will no longer need us to be by your side."
"Is that...is it?" Ava muttered with her eyes: "Decades of time sound so short."
"Haha, don't care." Catherine laughed and said, "It is precisely because human life is short that we have worked hard to make the world more exciting. In this wonderful world, decades will be a very long process compared to your previous life. Believe me, you will not be disappointed."
"Maybe." Ava nodded as if she understood, looking at the top of the carriage expressionlessly. Perhaps because the topic was a bit heavy, the carriage fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, only the sound of horse hooves and the noise of pedestrians gathered together and faintly heard from outside the car window. Gradually, the noise and conversation from pedestrians became less and less, and the outside of the carriage became quieter and quieter, leaving only the sound of horse hooves still persistently, and galloping forward quickly with the carriage.
The silence lasted for a long time until the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard in the magic area. The originally remote and quiet courtyard now has more than 20 carriages parked in front of the door, blocking the road tightly. Six people, led by Renee, walked through the carriage blocking the road and found that the gate of the courtyard where Christo lived was closed. Some gorgeously dressed people and some mages in robes gathered in two groups at the entrance of the yard, each of whom used a very low voice to each other.
Conversation. These people all received news. They wanted to visit this hero a hundred years ago for various reasons, but Christo was qualified to refuse such a headache-provoking meeting, so they could only stay outside the door, hoping to get the opportunity to meet. Renee ignored these people at all and walked straight through the crowd. People looked at the six adventure team members following Renee with surprise, but they were very smart and said nothing.
Walking into the gate of the small courtyard, Christo did not sit on the rocking chair in the yard, and a sound of conversation came from the room. Listen carefully, it seemed that the sharp laughter of Christo's goblin could be heard in the conversation. The laughter was pleasant, and the owner of the laughter seemed very energetic.
"Huh? It seems that the master has recovered a little bit." Renee, who has been taking care of Christo for more than half a year. Since childhood, she has long regarded Christo as her elder. At this time, she heard Christo's laughter and showed a sincere smile: "It should be fine if the master smiles so energetic. Well, it seems that I have thought about it this time, but it's okay, I'm sorry, I'm so nervous. But since I'm here, let's go in and see the master, so that the master can be happier."
However, except for Eva's still expressionless face, the other five people's faces were still heavy. Freya reluctantly smiled at her former female companion and nodded, "Then go in and have a look, you can come together."
"What did you do?" Before entering the room, Catherine was suddenly stunned. She was more sensitive to energy. She just felt that Panis suddenly expanded her inherent spiritual realm many times in an instant, and then closed it instantly. Moreover, these developments of the realm were actually carried out at a certain rhythm, which seemed to be some kind of signal. Weirdly, she couldn't help but turn her head and ask Panis: "Is this rhythm of what's the point?"
"Nothing." Panis shook his head, "It's just a notice, don't worry."
"Haha, it's obvious that an old friend is here." Christo's sharp voice came from the room: "Come in, come in, come in, you are back so quickly this time, the mission must be very smooth. If the mission is not going well, at least you have to spend more time to search slowly. It is impossible to come back so early."
"And your daughter is also your student." An Toine, the president of the Mage Guild, had the unique elegance of the elves in his voice: "It seems that all of them are here. Christo, what task did you entrust them with?"
"Hahaha, this is the secret of the goblin." Christo said proudly: "I will definitely not tell you."
