1410: Chapter 196: The Test of Nas 1410: Chapter 196: The Test of Nas Pannis’s associative thinking let him imdiately say, “This is unexpected,” because although he had not seen these skeletons, and of course, even if he had, the chances of recognizing them based solely on their skeletons would also be slim.
However, from the number of skeletons and their strength, as well as Vivian’s expression, he imdiately guessed the identity of these skeletons.
The girls, especially Vivian, truly recognized these undead—they were the only group of undead who had exerted enormous pressure on her over the years; it was impossible for her to forget them.
Therefore, the mont she saw the undead, the Mage girl’s hand dove into the pocket of her work skirt, while several crystal bottles floated around her, ready to be thrown at any mont, until then, Vivian spoke with a heavy frown, “So it’s you; what are you doing here?”
The undead who opened the door looked like ordinary skeletons, but there were six of them, and their strength was of the Demigod Rank.
Considering these two factors, there was only one possibility: these were the six Demigod undead from deep within the Forest of Death’s temple, with whom the girls had unexpectedly erupted into fierce combat, a battle that left countless scars on the girls.
During that battle, thanks primarily to Vivian entering a state that connected to the leyline energy nodes, the girls, with Vivian as the core of their combat, managed a tight defense, barely delaying their defeat.
Even so, they were all severely injured, and Vivian had overexerted her Vitality to such an extent that she had to lie down for an extra day afterward.
Luckily, she had been in a state of continuous overexertion of Vitality for many years and had adapted well to it, otherwise, the consequences might have been more than resting for a few extra days; waking up from unconsciousness might not have been guaranteed.
Thus, the girls, especially Vivian, had a very deep impression of these six skeletons; Vivian even once said that if they appeared before her again, even if it were just a single bone, she would recognize them.
Indeed, Vivian’s remark was not an exaggeration.
The mont the six skeletons appeared, she instinctively recognized their identity and was also instinctively ready to launch into battle.
Fortunately, compared to the Mage girl, driven by instinct, Catherine remained calm.
Although the injuries she had suffered earlier caused her muscles to tense reflexively, the knight girl’s rationality prevailed.
Just as Vivian was about to throw her crystal bottles, Catherine grabbed her hand and whispered, “Calm down, Vivian, now is not the ti to start a fight.
They might not be enemies at this mont.
Put the potion back down and let’s figure things out before we act.”
Vivian’s slender arm muscles stiffened briefly, she exhaled softly, and when her hand ca out of her pocket, the crystal bottle she held was already placed back inside.
The crystal bottles that had been floating around also leisurely drifted back into her backpack.
The Mage girl nodded slightly to her sister and gave a reluctant smile, “Sorry, that was my mistake.
I was a bit impulsive; this isn’t the ti for unnecessary actions.”
“No, that wasn’t unnecessary,” Catherine responded shaking her head.
“It’s just that after the last battle, you nearly fainted, so you didn’t see things very clearly.
That indeed was just a misunderstanding, and there’s no need for battle under the current circumstances.”
“I understand,” Vivian’s smile beca more natural, she pinched Catherine’s arm and nodded, “It’s okay, don’t worry about , I can manage.”
“I didn’t expect it to be you guys.” Pannis, who had been standing at the temple entrance for so ti, blocking the path of the skeletons coming out of the temple as if he were about to enter, was actually well aware of what he was doing.
The girls exchanged knowing glances, each flashing an understanding smile.
Of course, Pannis couldn’t see the smiles on the girls’ faces from behind.
Confirming that the skeletons weren’t about to charge out, Pannis now stood with his arms crossed, appearing relaxed, yet his eyes narrowed into slits, and with a half-smile, he said to the skeletons, “You’re quite fast, arriving here before us.
Well, it makes sense; we took quite a detour while you just ca straight through the Forest of Death.
But I’m really torn about how to react to you guys.
Technically, when you warned us in the old expedition camp, alerting us to the ambush ahead, I should be grateful.
However, why do I feel like the manner of our encounters hasn’t been friendly?
Could it be my misunderstanding?”
“Pannis,” Catherine sighed, shook her head at him, and then smiled, “Co on, stop it.
We are fine, aren’t we?
And we’ve figured out that they ant well, so let’s not get worked up.”
“Rattle.”
“They say, ‘All follow the master’s will,'” Annie floated out from among the girls’ protective circle, sitting on Pannis’s shoulder, “As for being unfriendly, have you ever been friendly to us undead?”
“Hehe.” Pannis simply didn’t answer but turned his gaze toward Annie and Little Deer, his scoff clearly showing his attitude.
“Rattle rattle.”
“Exactly, big brothers and big sisters are really nice to us.” Annie frowned slightly at the leading Demigod skeleton before continuing to translate, “He says, well, perhaps you are an exception, but this is a test we’ve given you.
If you can’t even pass this kind of test, you might as well just die in the forest.”
“A test?” Pannis sneered, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, “What makes you think you have the right to test them?”
“All for the master’s glory.” Annie translated, “If you dare to use this na, you should be prepared to be tested.”
“Wait a second, Pannis, I think I understand now.” Catherine stepped forward, walking beside Pannis, and said with a laugh, “Because I used Lady Nellie’s na as the na of our adventure team, you want to test us to see if we are worthy of using this na, right?
Hehe, now I get it, you are still on Lady Nellie’s side after all.
So, have we passed your trial and earned your approval to continue using this na?”
“Rattle.” No translation necessary to guess that the other side huffed heavily and turned his head aside.
“Alright, alright.” Pannis rolled his eyes, feeling like he had just wasted his ti and energy, and said irritably, “This test, it must be your own wish, right?
Approval or not, it’s not what Nellie thinks, is it?
Also, why did you utter those threats when you were leaving?
Can you tell us why?”
“Not possible.”
