Chapter 12 Dilsalon
"La, Lala, Lala." Early in the morning, Lina was behind her hands, jumping in front of Panis like a child. She smiled extremely brightly when she turned around, and she seemed in an outrageous mood.
"What's wrong with you?" Panis expressed his question inexplicably: "Since last night, you've picked up hundreds of magic stone coins for nothing, and you haven't seen your mouth close together. You're not Catherine, and you shouldn't even be able to pick up money."
After reporting in the temple last night, the two did not stay in the temple, but instead found a hotel nearby in the neighborhood near the temple. Although Cynthia kindly tried to stay, Panis refused in the end. After all, she didn't know that she would stay in Deersaren for a while and had to conduct investigations frequently. The daily entry and exit time was very irregular. It was not convenient to live in the temple with regular schedules. It would be better to stay in the hotel directly from the beginning. Of course, this was just a formulaic statement on the surface. As for whether Panis was too old because the temple facilities were too old, it would be difficult to say if the house collapsed one night. He chatted with Cynthia all night, but it was too late to find a hotel to settle down. The fatigue of the journey made the two fall asleep quickly. It was not until the next morning that they reluctantly got up and rushed to the venue.
However, Lina was in a very good mood along the way, humming an unknown song in her nose, as if she was so happy about everything. When she heard Panis's question, Lina turned around and smiled, but did not answer, but her steps became lighter.
"So, what are you laughing at?" Panis scratched his head and said distressedly: "If you keep this strange state, I'm afraid that Catherine will beat me to death when I take you back."
"I'm happy." Lina's face was filled with joy and joy. She said happily: "Of course you have to laugh if you are happy."
"Obviously, you must be happy. If you still have this expression when you are sad, there is really something wrong with it." Panis said with a lip curl: "I know you are happy, but I didn't find anything worthy of your happiness."
"I want to know? I won't tell you, hehe. You men will never understand the mood of our women." Lina stuck out her tongue mischievously, and smiled and speeded up her pace: "Lalala, let it go, Lalala."
Panis was stunned, his eyes slowly becoming particularly soft. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile. For a moment, Panis felt that he had touched the happiness in Lina's heart. After all, whether it was pain or sadness, there was nothing more happy than having friends who could thoroughly understand this mood.
Since I understood the reason why Lina was happy, I always had to say something to make this happiness last longer, so Panis spoke: "That's right, we men really don't understand women's hearts, especially women like you who are cruel and violent to beat me, even if they want to understand, hey, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing. The weather is a little hot, I want to fan the wind for you." Lina took back her whip leg that Panis had avoided, and replied casually: "Don't be grateful."
"I thank you. Is it okay now? Are you whipping your legs for fanning for someone? And no one will be grateful, okay?" Panis sighed heavily: "Forget it, go quickly. If you walk slowly like this, the meeting will probably be late."
"I always think today's meeting won't be of use." Lina said lazily: "It's just a group of people I don't know come together to chat about meaningless topics and then do their own things. After all, it's too difficult for people from several sects to live together. Well, since it's so meaningless, why don't I ask the Blood Girl to come out to hold a meeting for me? It will definitely be very lively."
"I beg you. Don't." Panis dissuaded in horror: "We are here to investigate the bloody case, not to create the bloody case. Don't replace her."
"Of course not." Lina grinned and said, "I'm kidding."
"Hahaha, haha, your joke is so funny." Panis laughed twice, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I'm afraid of you, go quickly."
Lina finally put away the laughter that had lasted all night and said seriously: "I don't know who the two people sent to us to help are. I hope it won't be too difficult to get along with."
As Lina said, when she chatted with Cynthia last night, the only useful news she got was that the General Palace had already guessed that Lina would definitely accept this request for help, so she had arranged the candidates for assistance, and even half a day earlier than Lina and the others. However, Cynthia did not directly meet these two assistants, so she could not introduce them in advance. However, Lina actually didn't care much, because during this investigation, the General Palace clearly stated that everything was up to her to decide whether she needed assistance and whether she needed to change the assistant.
The meeting location is chosen in the government district of Deer Salon. Due to regional customs, Deer Salon is arranged in a circular shape like most Neville Federation towns. The innermost circle is an eternal and unchanging commercial center. In addition to the large number of shops that must exist, all necessary commercial institutions in cities including banks, credit, item custody, transaction inquiry, etc. are also established in this area. The second ring area is divided into two halves, and the government district and the magic area each account for half. The third ring is another small commercial ring
The circular streets are covered with shops. The fourth ring is a large number of houses. Nearly 100,000 urban residents make Deer Saren one of the large cities in the eastern part of the Federation of Neville. The hotel chosen by Pannis and Lina is in this area. The outermost edge is the fifth ring, which has a relatively large range, including the Temple District and the Craftsman District. Churches with branches of temples in the east of Neville will gather in the Temple District. Although they are more than fifteen kilometers away from the city center, there are still endless believers who come to pray every day.
As a commercial city, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the city's traffic has begun to be busy. The city residents living on the Fourth Ring Road flocked inward or outward to their workplaces and began a busy day of work. Various public carriages traveled in an orderly manner on the road. Every time they stopped, people who came off the carriage were a group of people with a slightly dull expression. The monotonous and busy days had wiped out their spirits and made them lose the agility they had before.
"So I don't like this, I don't like the Neville Federation." Lina looked at her eyes with a complicated mood and said softly: "The Church General Hall is in the capital of the Neville Federation, so I saw many people with this kind of look when I was a child. They are all ordinary people or timid low-level professionals, who have no courage or ability to break free from the constraints of life to meet the challenges of the outside world. They can only do monotonous and repetitive work, day by day, year by year, without any change until they grow old. Indeed, such a life can have a stable income and enjoy the safety and comfort of the city, but what is the difference between a year and a hundred years if you live in such a daze? Every big city in the Neville Federation is like this, dead and undying. In contrast, I still like the capital of knowledge, which is what a vibrant city should look like."
"There are such people in the Capital of Knowledge, but you just haven't seen them." Panis shrugged and looked around and said casually: "There are in every big city, not just the Federation of Neville."
"But the proportion here is the highest, maybe this is a common problem in purely commercial cities." Lina said: "What are you looking for?"
"Breakfast." Panis rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
"Don't make trouble, leave soon." Lina grabbed Pannis' sleeve and walked forward: "Fortunately the government district is not opposite the city, otherwise she would be exhausted."
"Actually, I've been wondering since just now." Panis asked, "Why don't we take a public car? That's much faster than walking."
"Let's take you to get to know the city. Although I haven't been here," Lina pointed to the front and said, "Look, the third ring area is in front. According to what the hotel owner said, it is the government district. The security center we are going to is in the southeast corner of the government district, which is very obvious."
"I thought it might be safer to find a local guide." Panis smiled helplessly: "A person who has never been here has always brought me into the city, and I always feel full of insecurity."
When entering the commercial area of the Third Ring Road, the abortion on the street was significantly reduced compared with the fourth Ring Road. After all, it was too early. Most shops had not opened yet, and no customers would come so early. So this place became an isolated island in the early morning when the crowds were surging.
"Huh? The bakery that has already opened." Panis suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he quickly escaped from Lina's arrest before Lina reacted: "Go and buy some food. I'm almost starving to death."
"You are really..." Lina said gritting her teeth: "It's you who said she was going to be late, and it's you who was wasting time desperately now. You guy is really a headache. No wonder my sister always wants to cut you with her sword."
"Hehe, hunger is a normal physiological change of organisms. Forcing yourself to endure hunger is to distort human nature." Panis made a very powerless remark to the religious community without consciously, and pushed open the store: "Boss, the customer is here. Wow, it smells so good. The freshly baked cream bread and a stove of meat floss bread. Hey, no, let me smell it. You actually embedded rabbit tail fruit into the cream bread. Heresy, you are heresy."
"Hahahaha." The boss who was carrying a plate of fragrant bread was a bald man in his forties. He had a strong figure and a cheerful personality. Although he was startled by Panis's sudden shouting, he couldn't help laughing after hearing Panis's words: "Customer, you came from Rea. The dispute over the rabbit tail fruit has lasted for two hundred years. You haven't given up yet, hahahaha."
"Forget it, let you go this heresy first." Hunger defeated the determination to maintain orthodoxy: "I want to buy meat floss bread, eight."
"Does your strange sense of smell exist to smell the rabbit tail fruit?" Lina, who followed the door helplessly, wanted to kick Panis: "And you need eight at a time, can two people eat it?"
"You eat two, I eat six, just right. Huh?" Panis turned his head proudly, and suddenly stopped in surprise and made a noise.
