Chapter 43: Changes in the Forest

"Papa", Catherine slapped Vivian a few more times before letting go of her hand to let her escape from her clutches and said to Lina: "Thank you to Lord Deniya for the gifts given in advance. When we return to the capital this time, we will go to Lord's Temple to visit together. Only in this way can we express our gratitude in our hearts."

In the Yarra world, most people in the Third and Fourth Ages will believe in a certain god. For life in these two periods, souls without faith are not sound. Such souls cannot get sleep even after death, so everyone will choose a certain god to believe in, even if they are just pan-believers.

Just like in the Neri Adventures, Catherine believed in a god representing justice. Although the original god of justice had fallen at the end of the Third Age, this did not affect some people's firm belief in him, and the belief in the fallen god is also a kind of faith. Freya and Vivian believed in the god of wisdom. Although they are only pan-believers, most mages and scholars are also pan-believers. The stronger the mage, the more this is. This does not prevent these people from being inspired by God to enter the kingdom of gods after death. Pannis's belief is even rarer. He directly believes in the creation god Yara. Such people are rare. Most of them are extremely powerful and conceited professionals who are confident that they will stand at the top of the creatures.

Therefore, he will only respect the gods, and only when facing Lord Yarra will he offer his own faith and worship. Even so, this type of person can be regarded as having his own faith and can also get sleep after death. Among all, only Eva's situation is special. Since she was directly created by Sieghn's blood, it theoretically belongs to Sieghn's child. Before Sieghn accepted the priesthood, Sieghn was the strongest among the people of God, so Eva can also be regarded as one of the people of God, and at the same time, he belongs to the son of God from the blood. Such a person will be branded with blood relatives even if he has no faith, not to mention that she has the eternal life of the people of God. Even if she really dies, her soul does not need to sleep. She will directly return to the kingdom of God of the Mother God.

However, it is precisely because everyone has their own beliefs. Although there are no clear regulations, most people will not visit the temples of other gods. Even the general believers who believe in several different gods at the same time will not visit the temples of gods outside their beliefs. Otherwise, it is a manifestation of disrespect for the worshippers and the gods they believe in. However, there is an exception, that is, when you bear the great favors of a certain god or his agent on earth and have to express your gratitude solemnly, you need to prepare a donation that you think is appropriate and pay a formal look to the temple. In front of the statue representing the gods inside the temple, you personally offer your gratitude to the gods. Such behavior will not be mistaken for changing faith, nor will it be regarded as disrespect for the gods. However, only real gifts will generally use this ritual, because if such a visit is not responded to, it will be a very embarrassing situation.

"Okay, I understand. After I go back, I will ask the Priest Ankava to preside over the ceremony in person." Lina nodded and said, "As a member of the adventure group, I also want to participate, so I can't preside over it myself. I hope Uncle Ankava can still hold on."

"Since your affairs are over," Flar's voice interrupted the conversation between the two ladies: "If I had no business, I would have to go back. Although I told the Presbyterian Church when I left the royal court, if it took too long, they would be chattering again. It would be better to go back earlier."

"Stop kidding." Panis collapsed aside at this time. The operation was not long, but the heavy psychological pressure made him as tired as if he had experienced a long and arduous battle. Eva unexpectedly moved from Freya to Panis's leg and stuffed her long hair into Panis's hand without a word. It seemed that for her, even without a comb, it was a very comfortable enjoyment to be touched a few times. The smile on Panis's face couldn't tell whether it was helpless or satisfied. She opened her five fingers and combed her long hair and said, "Her Majesty, are you going to leave now, are you going to wear these shoes and traveling through the nearly thousand kilometers of snowfield?"

"I can't use me now, right?" Flar looked at Panis with a grim look: "Have you even changed the title?"

"Okay okay, I was wrong, Flar." Panis smiled bitterly and raised his hands and admitted defeat: "I just didn't change my previous habits. I hope you forgive me. But I really don't recommend you leave now. The nearly 1,000 kilometers of snowfield is not so easy to pass through. Last time we came here together, did you forget the hard work?"

"What do you think you should do?" Flar frowned with a slender eyebrows and said distressedly: "Would you like to trouble Mina to take me back again? Her trip has already consumed a lot today, so it will be very hard to go there."

"I'm fine." As soon as Mina spoke, there seemed to be a thunder sound in the cave. The huge sound waves reflected through the cave walls, which made everyone's ears numb. However, Mina herself was very accustomed to this volume and opened her eyes and said, "Anyway, in a few days, I will definitely have to go around again. It's nothing to send you a ride."

"Are you awake?" Flark said with a kneel and said, "Thank you, the kind guardian, who brought me here regardless of consumption."

"This is my honor, comrade-in-arms." Although the dragon clan who does not value etiquette, he once fought life and death side by side and can be regarded as the best partner. Therefore, he still answered very solemnly for Flar's etiquette Mina, "We have destroyed countless undead together and have formed an unshakable friendship in the battle. Today I have only helped such a little, and there is no need to thank you solemnly. I have heard all your troubles just now. Don't worry, I will definitely send you back."

"Yes, we have already agreed with Mina." Panis explained: "We need to find an automatic treatment device. She told us a few possible locations. We agreed that she was responsible for taking us over from altitude and approaching the approximate location. After Eva will sense on her back whether there are ruins of the research center below the ground. If there is, she must also determine whether it is the one we want to find. When everything is confirmed, she will put us near the ruins and return here. So if you want to go back, you can wait a little bit for a day or two, wait for Mina to rest, and place you along the way near the Elves Forest or a big city you pass by on the road. You can find a horse and you can return to the royal court soon."

"It's not impossible." Flar thought for a while, and seemed a little embarrassed, but nodded, "Then I'll wait a few more days, it's not a particularly important meeting anyway."

"Don't wait that long." Mina opposed, "I know you're so worried that I'm too tired when I'm flying for a long distance, but you're too sluggish too much about the Dragon Clan system. It's really tiring to fly at full speed for a day, but it's not enough to be bed resting. In fact, we can go to bed for one night today and we can set off tomorrow during the day."

"No need to be so anxious, Mina." Panis advised: "There will be no big problem if you delay it for a day or two. Although she has a headache on Flar, she is actually just a few complaints from the elders."

"It's not just for you." Mina opposed, "Don't forget there are other things. After sending you, I'll come back quickly. Ask Vanne to convene the elders' council, inform you of what you said to me, and then obtain authorization to assist you in the investigation. Of course, it's not that it's not possible without authorization. Even if I can't get the authorization, I will help you investigate. But wouldn't it save a lot of trouble if I can get the authorization?"

"Investigation?" Flar asked in confusion: "Why are you involved in investigation again? Where is the investigation?"

"Death Forest." Panis said: "This is a bit troublesome to explain. I'll explain it to you in detail later. In short, there may be something wrong in the Death Forest."

"You also think there may be something wrong in the Death Forest?" Flar said in surprise: "What a coincidence, we think so too. The meeting I just said that I will attend in the future will be just to discuss this issue."

"Oh?" Not only Penis, but also several girls from the adventure group were interested. Penis asked, "Is there something strange happening in the Death Forest? It makes you all feel that there is something wrong?"

"Do you remember two months ago, Maya and Teya asked everyone to go to the Yuren Mountains to help?" Flar explained: "After that abnormal movement of the demigod monsters, the aftermath has not subsided. There are often lonely demigod monsters that run out of the deep forest of Death to destroy them. Moreover, these monsters are as irrational as crazy, so we all think that it may be that there is something wrong in the deep forest that makes these monsters very abnormal."

"Is it very frequent?" Several people in the adventure group exchanged a few glances, and were shocked. Panis asked, "How many have happened so far? Are there any other abnormalities in the monsters that ran out besides being irrational?"

"There are about seven or eight running towards us, and there are about five on the Feather Mountains. The sea is in the north, and the monsters cannot pass through, and the permanent ice field in the east. They may have frozen to death in the past, so it should be these twelve or three." Flar recalled: "As for other abnormalities, there are no ones, maybe we didn't find it? No, it's unlikely that, I've already checked it very carefully."

"I understand." Panis nodded and said, "It seems that some things must be told in advance, the guesses about our team's inside the Death Forest."
