Chapter 31 The Garden in the Night

Moving along the trail, the night wind brought the fragrance of grains in the fields on both sides. Several ponds were scattered on one side of the field. The croaking frogs came from the pond, but made the night look quieter. In the middle of the road, a small river passed by obliquely, and a small wooden bridge spanned the river. When stepped on it, it swayed gently. A water truck next to the wooden bridge was on the river surface, and slowly rotated with the fine water flow, making a regular creaking sound.

When you walk to the end of the trail, you will see a courtyard full of rural atmosphere, but the courtyard is very large and occupy a considerable vast area. Through the courtyard gate, you will see a green bamboo forest. A small path winds through the bamboo forest and leads to a deeper place. Behind the bamboo forest is an artificial lake. The artificial rockery stands in the center of the lake, and a few green unknown plants dotted on the rockery. The path bypasses the lake from the side, guiding pedestrians to a room lit up by lights.

"Who is inside?" Catherine asked the question for the third time in confusion: "Why are you both so mysterious?"

"Ha, you'll know when you go in." Panis said with a mysterious smile: "Anyway, I've completed the task and brought you in smoothly. And with Maya and the others here, it's impossible to be kicked out again, so what's behind is nothing to do with me. As for who is inside, of course it's not my business. I haven't been inside. By the way, Maya came out of it, and she must know who it is inside. You ask her, hehe."

"It's a human." The Winged Man girl seemed to be deliberately helping Panis hide it, and said vaguely: "As humans, they are almost the same in our eyes, and I can't tell who he is. By the way, if you recognize him, you must notify me so that I can also know who he is."

"You two..." Catherine gritted her teeth and looked at the two demigods beside her who were deliberately pretending to be stupid. She snorted heavily, turned her head and said angrily: "Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, Panis, you can wait. Humph."

"I'm innocent, I'm also an ignorant." Panis was not afraid at all, and explained a few words with a smile, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted from the room by another crisp female voice: "Haha, as soon as he approached, I heard Brother Kyle was stupid. You guys are so slow. Why are you here now? Dilidley, go and open the door for them."

"Are you a fool? I actually asked me to help you open the door. Be careful that I will bite you to death." Although the Scorpio-tailed Lion Dilly's voice became a little old, it was still full of momentum: "Which Scorpio-tailed Lion have you seen that can open the door? Can you use your brain?"

"Haha. Are you amazing? Why can't you even know this little thing? That's right. Yesterday, a lion said he could do everything. He also boasted about his past writing novels with a pen. In fact, everyone knew that it was written by Xiao Kela for you. Yes, you actually don't know how to use a pen at all. Yes, a lion thought that no one else knew. In fact, everyone in the world of Yara knows it."

Inside and outside the house, two identical voices launched continuous attacks on the poor scorpion-tailed lion as usual. The alternation of sentences like a person made the two of them speak as if they did not need to breathe or pause at all, with a crisp sound and a fast speed. There was no chance to interrupt and refute. So, more than ten seconds later, a lion roar ended the verbal offensive of the Winged Man Gemini, and a burst of fighting and squeaking sounds in the room. There was no doubt that the two had completely forgotten about who was going to open the door.

However, if you are careful, you can hear it. In the chaos, there is still a sound of footsteps gradually approaching the door. The footsteps sound heavy, not as brisk as professionals. They should belong to an ordinary person. The heavy footsteps walked to the door and creaked. The door, which seemed to have been around for decades, slowly opened. As soon as the door opened, Guangyu's Maya flapped her wings and squeezed in from the person who opened the door, and joined the war between the sisters and a certain monster, leaving only five members of the adventure group and the person who opened the door looking at each other at the door.

The moment when the door opened clearly, Catherine's eyes cut on Panis's face like a knife, but Panis was ready, looking up at the eaves above her head, as if there was something very worthy of study on the eaves.

"I remember you." Catherine gritted her teeth, lowered her voice and threatened her, then showed a perfect smile, gently lifted Pannis' arm, as if she was not in a small courtyard full of rural atmosphere, but at a banquet. She said with noble etiquette in the unexpected but not surprising snickering behind her, "It is an honor to see you, Lord Marquis Snape, I am really happy to see you still healthy."

Inside the door, the bald white-bearded old marquis stared at Catherine with an expressionless face, as if she was looking at a stranger. The strong pressure carried in her eyes made Catherine, a legendary pro, unable to resist. After being stared for a while, she had to lower her head and whisper: "Okay, okay, Grandpa Snape, hello."

The cold old marquis disappeared in an instant, and the old man with a smug smile was filled with smiles. Even his bare head looked brighter and said in his ears: "Little Catherine actually came to see me on his own initiative. Hahaha, what an obedient and good boy."

"Haha, hehe." Catherine just lowered her head and chuckled embarrassedly, but from Panis's expression and stiff and trembling arms, it can be seen that the heart of the Knight girl was obviously not as gentle and friendly as she showed now.

The old Marquis took the initiative to ignore Catherine's fingers pinching Pannis' arm, and stepped forward to touch the female knight's head with pamperingness. Catherine's legs were slightly bent, allowing the old Marquis to successfully touch the top of his head, but he complained reluctantly: "Grandpa Snape, I'm not a child anymore, don't always touch my head."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, don't touch it anymore." The old Marquis was in a very good mood. He rubbed his harder a few more times before letting go of the female knight's head, greeted the three girls behind her, turned around and gave Panis a grateful look, took Catherine's hand and turned around and walked into the room: "Come in, come in quickly, hahaha, little Catherine took the initiative to come to see me, Linda, Linda, don't be lazy, go and take out the blue wine box in my secret room, and celebrate it well today."
