Chapter 1484: Chapter 270: Investigation
“Alright, alright, I know you’re just worried and upset for , so you’re blaming ,” Nellie muttered. “But if you keep talking like this, I’ll be the one who gets upset, which isn’t good at all, hehe, so stop blaming . Things have co to this point; blaming won’t help. It’s better to accept reality, right, right. Besides, doesn’t soone always say, who knows about things that haven’t happened yet, hehe, actually, I think so too.”
“Hmph, don’t twist my words,” Pannis said with a roll of her eyes. “Indeed, nobody can accurately predict things that haven’t happened yet, but that doesn’t an you shouldn’t prepare at all. But you, you haven’t prepared at all, not only that, but you’ve also gone out of your way to make it even harder for yourself.”
“That was an accident, haha, I didn’t think that much,” Nellie laughed forcefully as she explained, but soon her mood fell, and she said with a bitter smile, “However, you’re actually right. It wasn’t long before I ran into trouble, big trouble.”
“Was it… less than fifty years ago?” Pannis stroked her chin, pondering. “Oh, I understand now, the Temple of Danacus was discovered.”
“Exactly, that ti,” Nellie sighed and said. “Before that, people from the outside would occasionally pray to Danacus, sending him the Power of Faith. I didn’t understand it very well, but I knew I couldn’t let him receive the Power of Faith so easily; otherwise, he might be stimulated to wake up.”
“Wait,” Pannis raised her hand to interrupt Nellie, frowning. “Don’t tell you’ve always thought that he would just keep sleeping and never wake up.”
“Do you think I’m that foolish? You’d pay a price if you nodded,” Nellie said coldly, watching Pannis massage her neck twisted by using the wrong force. “Of course, I didn’t think he wouldn’t wake up; I just thought it wouldn’t be so soon. I hoped to delay his awakening as much as possible, to give myself more ti.”
“Can you really isolate it?” Pannis asked uncertainly. “It doesn’t sound like an easy task to .”
“As it turned out, no,” Nellie said with a bitter smile. “Or rather, my ability isn’t enough. There’s nothing that can block the Power of Faith, so I could only watch as they gradually transferred energy to Danacus, and there was nothing I could do. Fortunately, their numbers were too few to make any significant impact. If there had been ten tis as many, you probably wouldn’t be seeing now.”
“I also thought it wasn’t possible,” Pannis nodded. “So you felt puzzled, and then you started spying on them?”
“No, at that ti I didn’t have the ability to spy everywhere,” Nellie shook her head. “Then, the Temple of Danacus hadn’t surfaced, and I didn’t know where those believers were, so I couldn’t do anything. I just firmly didn’t respond to their prayers and pretended that Danacus and I were still sleeping, keeping them in the dark about what was happening in this world.”
“But that’s not a good solution in the long run,” Pannis frowned. “You understand that too, so you felt you couldn’t let them continue.”
“Yes, so I made a request to those few believers outside, asking them to carry my sight and look for this group of followers of Danacus,” Nellie confird Pannis’s guess. “Back then, I didn’t have a good plan for dealing with Danacus’s followers, and I didn’t know they were our old friends; I just wanted to figure out who was constantly sending Danacus the Power of Faith, which was making his sleep increasingly unsettled.”
“But they’re also Undead,” Pannis said helplessly. “Asking them to seek the truth, isn’t that making things difficult for them? Why don’t you co to at tis like this?”
“Co to you? And have you confined here with ?” Nellie retorted. “I’ve already been tortured; I don’t want to subject you to such pain.”
“Who just said this kind of life is interesting?” Pannis rolled her eyes. “Are you simply going back on what you’ve just said without hesitation?”
“It’s different, Kyle,” Nellie sighed. “I can see the outside, I can control this world, and I’m their Deity, so I won’t feel uncomfortable. But you’re different, you’re a living being. Keeping you here would be a painful imprisonnt. So, I definitely had to keep you from knowing about my existence, otherwise, you’d definitely co running to just like you are now, and I couldn’t drive you away.”
“But I’d have had a better chance of finding those moribunds,” Pannis countered. “Your few undead fanatical followers couldn’t even trace them.”
“You’re wrong; as it turned out, they did,” Nellie said loudly. “Even though it took a few years, they indeed found them.”
“Was it really them who found it?” Pannis asked skeptically. “I feel like it was more of a chance encounter in the Forest of Death. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so rushed and might have been able to stop their actions.”
“Even if it was just a chance encounter, but looking at the result, they indeed found them,” Nellie clearly entered a defensive mode, assertively saying, “At least after that, I knew who they were and roughly figured out their goal.”
“Well, if you say so,” Pannis wisely didn’t continue arguing. Years of experience told Pannis that arguing with a woman in this state was simply a sign of losing interest in one’s own life, so she could only respond with a bitter smile and a shake of her head. “Of course, I also admit that even if I were to do it, I might not have done any better than them, maybe even worse. At least I couldn’t move freely in the Core Area of the Forest of Death.”
“Hmph, you’re smart to admit that,” Nellie, although a fool in so respects, was still very clever in others. After securing a victory, she always knew how to ease the tension just enough, never making it feel excessive. “Well, you weren’t in the right state to handle these things at the ti. See, now that you’ve recovered, aren’t you the first person I thought of?”
“No, what I said was also true,” Pannis said. “Clearly, those moribunds and their gathering of followers, the ghouls, also prefer to live in environnts dense with the death aura. That environnt, having your undead followers investigate it, turned out to be right. Uh, that said, you made the right choice unwittingly.”
