"How did you do it?" Catherine had already let go of Panis' arm, and the two stood beside the dance floor. The negotiation with Prince Nicholas was just a small episode, and there was no extreme action, so it did not attract much attention. As soon as the prince left, the dance party immediately returned to its original atmosphere. The two gathered around the dance floor like ordinary guests. The only difference was that the two did not chat with any other guests.
"What to do?" Penis asked in confusion.
"Several bodyguards of Nicholas." Catherine picked her chin at the gate and said, "Why did you wield your fingers and force them back?"
"Ha, that's it. Just use skill bluffs." Panis smiled: "Assassin's skill, sacrificing his own life, no one is willing to open the shield and force it. People with normal minds will block or dodge. I just let the skill be in the critical state before casting, so that the other party thinks that I want to cast this skill on him, but in fact it has not been cast at all. The higher the opponent's level, the stronger the perception ability, the easier it is to be fooled."
"But they are bodyguards." Catherine said incomprehensiblely: "Even if you scare them with your skills, they shouldn't step back together and leave the employer in danger."
"Because they have three people." Panis shrugged and replied leisurely: "I made each of them feel that I was casting his skills alone. There were two other people around the employer who were safe to protect, so of course they would choose to back down and dodge. When they found out that the three of them were actually retreating, it was too late."
"Cunning." Catherine commented affirmatively: "But, let alone the bronze level of Nicholas, I was by your side, and I didn't feel the fluctuations in your energy when casting skills."
"Control." Panis raised a finger, which no one could see, but Catherine, who is proficient in Dou Qi, could easily find that the Dou Qi condensed into an invisible spike on the tip of Panis' finger: "Some people can only condense into rough sticks with Dou Qi, while some people can condense into fine spikes with Dou Qi, but if your control is fine enough, you can do it like this."
In Catherine's energy perception, the tips of the Dou Qi at Panis's fingertips began to lengthen, circling and twisting and tangling around the fingertips, and finally weaving into a blooming rose condensed by Dou Qi. Such control power simply surpasses the imagination of normal professionals.
"Beautiful flowers, give them to the beautiful lady." Panis smiled and stretched his finger in front of Catherine.
Catherine opened Panis's hand in anger and broke up the flower that could only be seen and not touched: "I don't have sincerity, I can take it next time if I change it."
"Then change this." Panis smiled and took two glasses of red wine from the dining table, handed it to Catherine a glass, and gently shook it with four fingers: "Well, 3578 McKinway wine, your Grandpa Snape really enjoys it."
"McKinway?" Catherine approached the wine glass in surprise and sniffed it carefully: "I thought it was Carlis' wine, but it was McKinway? That is the best and lowest-yield wine in Yara."
"Yeah, it's McKinway." Pennis nodded: "The taste of Calis wine is very close to it, but it smells a little more fruity and has a little more sweet taste. This is the difference."
Catherine was not in a hurry to drink, raised her glass to look at the light, letting her fantasy fill her mind, and said softly: "578, almost one hundred and twenty years old, more than five times older than me. I'm really curious about what kind of person would be the one who brewed this glass of wine."
"578, it was the best year for Mackinwitt's quality and yield in three hundred years." Pannis shook his wine glass, staring at the rippling liquid in the glass, as if he had returned to the year when grapes were fragrant. That year, Neri, who was fond of wine, couldn't control her heart, and pulled Pannis into Mckinwitt's village in the mountains. It took seven months to complete everything from picking and removing stems to juicing and fermenting until the final precipitation and replacement of barrels.
Steps, I made ten barrels of wine by myself. The wine made by Nellie, who has no experience in making wine, can be imagined naturally. But whenever Penis smells the aroma of McKinway wine again, I can always think of the smell of the ten barrels of wine, and I can always think of the smile on the face of the girl who was trampling and jumping barefoot on the big bucket of grapes. It comes from the heart, pure and childlike smile. The smile is like the smell of the ten barrels of wine, green, but full of sincerity and happiness.
Catherine didn't know what Panis was thinking, but when she saw Panis's confused gaze, she patted Panis' arm with a gentle smile to show comfort. Catherine's comfort woke up the intoxicated Panis. Panis smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head and drove away the face in the illusion in front of her, and also drove away the needle-like pain and regret in her heart. She stretched out her hand and gently collided with the wine glass in Catherine's hand, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and let the fragrance of the wine jump and bloom between her lips.
"It's worthy of being the best red wine." Panis raised his head and gently exhaled a scent of wine: "I have to repeat it again, your Grandpa Snape really enjoys it."
"Yeah, I really enjoy it."
Panis and Catherine smiled at each other, turned around without surprise, and saw a bald white-bearded old man standing behind the two of them with a wine glass.
"Hello, Mr. Snape." Panis raised his glass lightly to express his respect: "It's an honor to see you."
Snape nodded to Pennis and said to Catherine: "Can you lend your male companion a few minutes, little Catherine."
Catherine smiled and rolled her eyes: "Take it and use it."
"It's so cold and ruthless." Panis sighed with a sad look on his face and made a gesture to Snape: "Sir, please lead the way."
"Catherine is a good boy." Snape took Pennis back to the villa, walked into the study on the second floor, and gently closed the door: "Do you think it's Master Kyle?"
Panis sat on a soft chair by the wall, put the wine glass on the coffee table in front of him, touched his chin and said with a smile: "I think I should go to Odin tomorrow to have a good talk."
"Hahahaha." Snape laughed: "It wasn't what Odin told me."
Panis tilted his head and thought for a while, nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will go to tear down the liar's nest tomorrow."
"The little liar has become an old liar." Snape said with a smile: "I arrived three days ago. I met Master Christo the day before yesterday. I heard him talk about you and wanted to see you very much, but I didn't expect you to come on your own initiative today."
"I didn't come on my own initiative." Panis grinned: "I was forced to come by your little Catherine."
"Haha, I understand, I understand." Snape looked at Pannis with a weird look: "However, Katherine's past has been very hard, and I hope you can take care of her more in the future."
"I know." Penis nodded: "She told me."
"Tell me to you?" Snape repeated in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "That's right, I must tell you that you are your own person."
"But I have a strange problem," asked Panis. "I can hear from her words that you not only don't need them to repay their debts, but you are also very good and sincere to her three generations. In this case, why don't you directly exempt them from the pressure of debt?"
"What do you think?" Snape smiled sly: "Why do you think I am?"
"I thought of a reason. The stronger the pressure, the more we can train a person. If you want Catherine to grow up quickly, you have to let her bear enough pressure." Panis thought, "It is true. Under pressure, Catherine is already a high-level professional at the golden level at such a young age."
"This is one aspect." Snape nodded, "But the most critical issue is that I can't beat three generations of their family."
"Yeah?" Panis was stunned: "What is the reason?"
Snape smiled helplessly: "I never thought of asking them to pay back the money, especially after the money caused my best friend to die, I don't want his descendants to inherit the debt. But I have told them many times that the debt was invalid, but no matter how many times I said it, none of them agreed, and everyone insisted on paying off the debt. If possible, I would rather go bankrupt than hope that my best friend could live, and hope that his son and granddaughter could live happily, but no matter what I said, they insisted on paying back the money. Even Catherine's father once rushed into my residence and threw a thousand magic stone coins and ran away. That was ten million gold coins. He was just thrown on the ground casually, and I couldn't beat them. What do you think I could do? So, this debt was not what I carried on them, but they carried it themselves."
Penis smiled bitterly, "This really looks like her character."
"That's right, so I really can't stop them." Snape suddenly smiled mysteriously: "But I have a way to deal with it."
Penis asked curiously: "What?"
Snape showed off like a child: "Actually, they have paid me back three generations, and I have never touched a single copper coin. I plan to share this money with Catherine as inheritance after she paid off her debts, or before I die. Hehe, she would not have the chance to refuse again at that time."
"Tsk tsk." Panis said in admiration: "It's really a pain for you to have a granddaughter who has firm ideas."
"Yes, I haven't had a few years of time, and the one I can't rest assured is her." Snape's gaze at Panis became strange again: "But now, I can rest assured."
Panis seemed to find something wrong and frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Snape did not answer, but continued: "In the past, every time I saw her, I always urged her, and every time she seemed very impatient. I didn't expect that she gave me a big surprise this time, hahahaha."
"Human up? Surprise?" Panis seemed to finally understand. Thinking of some of Katherine's previous actions, he had a cold sweat on his forehead: "You don't mean..."
"Of course." Snape smiled very happily: "As an elder, there is no need to worry. Now I finally feel relieved. Catherine will ask you in the future."
