Chapter 2 Catherine's Little Hobbies
On the second floor of the Western Paradise, as soon as you go up the stairs, you can directly see the hall downstairs from the railings of the platform. In fact, in many noble houses, this hall that leads directly to the entrance and its second floor are often combined as a place for holding large banquets and dances, and are rarely used as a living room. However, the girls in the adventure group basically do not hold such activities, so they simply change it into a living room and a living room, which makes it more convenient to enter and exit.
There is an elongated corridor on both sides of the platform on the second floor. On both sides of the corridor are rooms of different sizes. These rooms are planned as bedrooms by the girls. There are fifteen or sixteen bedrooms, but there are only eight in use now. Catherine's room is one of them. There is a little man in armor on the door of Catherine's room. The villain holds a sword in one hand and the shield in the other. You can guess who the owner of the room is at a glance.
It was not the first time that Panis entered Catherine's room. There was no situation where he didn't know the way. He walked directly to the room and knocked on the door. The lubrication of the door shaft was very good. Panis just knocked gently, and the hidden door opened inward, revealing the scene inside.
Catherine's room is not big, only more than forty square meters. The four walls of the room are painted green in grass, and the walls are painted with lawns and various plants. Living in the room will feel like being in nature. There is not much furniture in the room. Apart from a large bed, there are only a row of wardrobe cabinets against the wall, a tea table and a desk. There are also several armor stands and weapon tables facing the door. It is difficult to see that its owner is a girl, and only a brown plush puppet bear on the bed adds a bit of feminine atmosphere to Catherine.
Of course, these are not important. What matters is that as soon as the door opens, Panis's eyes are flashing. The floor of the room is covered with thick carpets. But now the carpets are no longer visible. All the floor spaces in the room are filled with gold coins. The morning sun shines into the bedroom through the gaps of the curtains, and countless gold coins emit dazzling light in the sun. The gold coins continue to collide, and the crisp sound echoes in the bedroom, as if playing a beautiful melody.
Catherine was wearing an ordinary family dress. She was barefoot and her long black hair was hanging behind her back. But at this time she had no intention of worrying about these image problems. She was now lying in the sea of gold coins, her face was buried deep in the pile of gold coins, and her hands kept grabbing the gold coins beside her and pouring it on her head, as if she was trying hard to bury herself with gold coins.
Hearing the knock on the door, Catherine, who was intoxicated, looked up in shock and just saw the gradually opened door, which just met Panis's eyes that were also stunned.
The two looked at each other blankly, and Catherine's satisfied smile froze on her face. Several gold coins slid from the top of her head under the influence of gravity and fell into the gold coins layer on the ground. Both of them seemed to have lost their language ability and widened their eyes and opened their mouths, and no one could say a complete sentence.
"You...I...you...", Katherine tried several times. Finally, she could say a complete sentence: "Did you see it all?"
"Ah?" The impact of the image collapse prevented Penis from recovering from his dementia state: "What did you say?"
"Haha, haha, haha." Catherine's face slowly turned gray, the haze in her eyes became heavier and heavier, her head was slightly lowered, and her black hair drooped from her forehead to cover her eyes. Her voice became deeper and deeper: "It seems that you have seen everything in this reaction."
"Ha. Ha, how is that possible?" Panis shivered all over. The strong murderous aura made him wake up from the impact instantly, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and his feet involuntarily retreated: "I, I was actually blind when I came up, and I saw nothing."
"Is that so? Haha, I almost believed it." Catherine stood up from the pile of gold coins, picked up the knight's sword thrown on the bed, and walked slowly out of the door with two big dark circles of eyes, "Since you see it, it's useless to say anything, I can only ask you to disappear. I hope you don't blame me, I will mourn you often."
"Hey, what's the development? Things shouldn't be like this." Panis stepped back in a panic: "Calm down, listen to my explanation, actually I understand you very much. Really, gold coins are good things, it's not surprising to have such a reaction, it's not surprising at all, believe me."
"No problem, I believe you." Catherine slowly pulled out her sword, suddenly charged, swung her sword toward Panis: "I trust you so much, so go to die for me."
"Catherine, don't come over. If you come over again, I'm going to shout for help." Panis turned around and ran away very skillfully, rolled and crawled down the stairs, and shouted: "Help, kill someone, who will save someone?"
"Call you shout, you shout." Catherine waved her sword and chased her target with red eyes, gritting her teeth, "No one will come to save you, don't worry."
"Bang", Panis, who was running wildly, broke open the door, ran out of the Western Palace, and launched a daily routine life-and-death pursuit in the yard.
"The subtle feeling is the visual sense." Pansy looked at her sister innocently: "Similar conversation seems to have just happened."
"Who knows?" Mimosa gave an equally innocent look: "Maybe this kind of visual sense is just an hallucination, yes, yes, it's just an hallucination."
"It's so naive, Panis." Vivian was shocked by the sound of hunting. He raised his head from the pile of paper, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and murmured to himself: "From yesterday when my elder sister refused to receive seventy magic iron coins, she insisted on receiving seven hundred thousand gold coins, she should have guessed her entertainment activities all night long ago. At this time, you dare to go to her room to see how she was addicted to gold coins. It's really...ah, just go with confidence."
Yes, after everyone returned to the Capital of Knowledge at noon yesterday, the first thing they did was not to go home to rest and organize, but to go straight to the Adventurers Guild and hand over the proof of killing cruelty, that is, the cruel head, to the guild. In exchange for a high reward of 700,000 gold coins that the guild had advanced in advance. According to common sense, in this kind of high-value transaction, the guild would often pay equivalent magic iron coins, that is, seventy magic iron coins. But Catherine insisted that only gold coins were used, and the four people ran back and forth several times before successfully pulling the 700,000 gold coins back to the western hall.
"Don't chase me." Panis ran around the Western Paradise and shouted loudly: "I saw nothing, I won't say it, help me."
"I can't tell you? Only dead people are the most reassuring." Catherine gritted her teeth and chased her back: "Since I see my ugly appearance, then pay the price, bastard, don't run away."
"Tsk tsk, you two are so lively every day." When you passed the gate of the yard again, a voice floated in from outside the door. Through the gap between the fence, you can see Teresa and Ben from the Wind God Church standing in front of the gate, watching their wonderful interactions with a playful look on their faces.
After Deer Saren broke up, everyone returned to their temple, but since the headquarters of the Wind God Church was far away in the Faral Empire, if you want to return, you must pass through a neutral place, so the two followed the Neri adventure team to return to the Capital of Knowledge.
"Ha, it's you." Catherine stopped and put away her weapons as if nothing had happened. She said to the two with a smile: "Didn't you go to the temple to handle some internal affairs? Why did you come so early?"
"We are here to say goodbye." Teresa smiled gently and replied, "We will leave here later and continue to return to the headquarters. We will say goodbye to you before leaving. Thank you for your care these days."
"You are so polite." Catherine opened the door and greeted: "Come in and sit down. Why are you so anxious to leave? The Early Spring Festival is about to begin. There is no such activity on Faral. Why don't you go after watching the Early Spring Festival here?"
"No need." Teresa shook her head and said, "There are still some things that need to be dealt with at the headquarters. And this situation must be paid back to the Pope as soon as possible, so we can't delay it. So we can only say sorry to you. If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely come here again, and we will celebrate together again at that time."
"Okay." Catherine didn't force herself and nodded, "Since that's the case, I wish you peace all the way. If you need any help in the future, come and find us."
"Early Spring Festival." Watching the two clergymen leave, Panis came over to help Catherine close the door again: "I haven't participated in it for many years."
The early spring festival is a special celebration in areas near the Neutral Land, which is March 10th. Every year in early March, the Neutral Land enters spring. The unique pink fruit flowers of the Neutral Land will bloom first during this period, indicating the arrival of early spring. Every time, in the suburbs of cities or villages, there will be large areas of pink fruit trees hanging on the crimson or pink petals. The beautiful petals are mixed with elegant fragrance, which makes the entire Rea fall into the ocean of flowers. When this day passes, spring plowing begins, people will once again devote their work to a year of work.
On March 10th every year, people often stop working and go out together, enjoy flowers and go out, adding a bit of romantic color to their busy daily life. Some young couples express their love to each other under the pink fruit tree, hoping that their relationship can receive blessings from spring.
Gradually, this custom developed into a unique celebration, leisure, flower appreciation, and blessings. These became the most important things for people on this day and the day that young people were most looking forward to.
