Chapter IX: The Trust that Overwhelms the Heart
"I think I probably guessed what happened." Catherine nodded thoughtfully and said, "But any of you can answer my question just now, what is the soul whisper?"
"It's a way to talk directly to the soul," Vivian said. "I'm just curious why Garantis chose the more troublesome verbs rather than communicating in a soul whisper."
"Because my mother said that humans don't like the conversation between souls very much." Garantis explained: "She said that humans are very strange. Although it is just a one-sided conversation, we cannot directly accept human ideas, but even so, humans don't like this. Hiss. Moreover, soul whispers can only be performed between individuals. Hiss. My mage sister and your soul whisper. My knight sister cannot hear it. Hiss. This is very troublesome. Therefore, I rarely use soul whispers in the outside world. Hiss. Although it is a little more laborious, it will not cause the unhappiness of others. Hiss. Mom said that communication between foreign races requires taking care of each other's preferences and taboos. Hiss. She said that this is what my uncle said."
"Hahaha, the food today is so delicious." Panis laughed dryly: "The weather outside is also good, I think it's very suitable for traveling. Well, I'll go and have a look first. Oh, don't drag me, I won't be able to go."
"Everyone said don't make a fuss, no one will pursue you." Catherine glared at Panis with anger and amused, and pulled Garantis's hand covered with scales. The lizardman's hand felt cold, but it was not as smooth as a reptile as imagined. The hand felt very dry. The scales on the surface of the body were small and tight, and there was no sense of the roughness of the connection between the scales. The touch was smooth and hard, as if she was wearing a delicate scale outside her body. Holding Garantis' hand, Catherine asked with a smile: "Garan, let's go back to the swamp with you to visit your mother, Lord Arcmene. I wonder if you are welcome?"
"Of course, hesitation." Garantis let go of the tail wrapped around Pannis's calves and said, "Mom likes visitors from other races the most. Hiss. Although she always feels very depressed after chatting with the visitors, next time the visitor comes, she will still happily listen to the visitors telling the legends of the outside world and hissing. My favorite thing is to discuss the stories of heroes a hundred years ago with those visitors. Hissing. I don't know why my mother is so interested in this kind of story."
"Oh? You don't know why?" The girls looked at Pannis with great meaning and neatness. Catherine asked, "Has the High Priest told you? It is said that the High Priest and those heroes are people of the same era. Maybe they have had some communication with each other, so they care so much about the stories of those heroes."
"No, my mother has only left the swamp once." The lizardman said, shaking her triangle head, "That time I left with my uncle and the knight sister. Hissing, hesitting, hesitting, hesitting, hesitting, hesitting, hesitting, hesitting, it's really strange, it's so important for all races. It's logical that my mother should also participate, hissing, but my mother didn't go. Hissing, maybe something special was delayed, hissing."
"In that battle, the organizer did not invite a demigod of a certain race or a certain force. If such a demigod dies, it will have a serious impact on a certain race or a certain force. The organizer deliberately avoided the emergence of this result." Panis explained: "So, although Alcée is strong, she should be excluded because of her special identity and importance to the swamp."
"No wonder this is the case." Garantis nodded. He suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Sister Knight, are you really serious? Hiss, are you really going home with me with your uncle? Hiss. Is it true?"
Catherine did not answer directly, but turned her eyes to Panis's face. The smart knight girl knew very well that for men like Panis, some things could be made for him by making jokes, but some key issues still have to be decided by him. Otherwise, even if he would not show it, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable in his heart. If such discomfort accumulates to a certain extent, it will lead to conflicts. When we get along with each other day and night, smart women will naturally know how to avoid such conflicts, rather than doing everything according to their own ideas.
Panis naturally discovered the question in Catherine's eyes, thought for a while, and sighed and said, "I haven't seen Alcée for many years, and I don't know what she has become now. It's better to meet her now. Old friends who have been there for so many years will be less once. Okay, let's go to the swamp together to see it, but if you are bitten by mosquitoes, don't cry. The mosquitoes there are one of the most terrifying creatures for the alien race outside."
"What do we have to worry about?" Vivian blinked at Pannis and said jokingly: "You have so many tips, and I don't believe there is no effective way to deal with swamp mosquitoes. So we are not in a hurry at all. When you get there, you will naturally have a way to solve these problems. Everything in the past proves this, right?"
"Vivian." Catherine shook her head at the mage girl and said seriously: "We can find a way to do this kind of thing. We cannot leave all the problems to Panis to solve. I know that you trust him, but many times, blind trust and dependence by others will completely crush a person's heart. Just like you can trust me, but you will never think that I can do everything. This is true for everyone. When everyone thinks you can do everything, you have actually reached a dead end. Are you right? Panis."
"Maybe, who knows?" Panis sneered, not knowing whether he was laughing at others or himself, shrugging and said indifferently: "I have no time to consider this issue now. I am studying a more important issue."
"What's the matter?" Catherine asked in surprise. "Is there anything more important than this?"
"Of course, it's life." Panis said seriously: "I'm studying if someone knows that we have eaten 762 gold coins in this meal, can I still see the rising sun tomorrow morning as the orderer."
