"To be precise, there is only one person who can pass this gate." The zombie who walked out was a middle-aged woman with dark skin and slender eyes, giving people a faint sense of charm, and her voice was calm and gentle, like a very gentle woman: "As for who can pass, I guess I don't need to explain it. Of course, you can also try to break through, and we will not stop it. However, I believe you have an answer in your heart whether you can enter the ceremony at that time."

"Divide us into several parts and then solve them separately?" Catherine took back the one-handed sword and said with a sneer: "Your plan is really good. It has been carried out since the beginning of trying to instigate Mr. Dilly. Unfortunately, Mr. Dilly directly pulled all the monsters into his own territory, forcing you to change some of the plans."

"This is not compulsive, you can completely choose to refuse." The female corpse ghost said with a faint smile: "Actually, from my personal perspective, I hope you can refuse, and even hope you can turn around and leave without making unnecessary sacrifices. If you go back now, although the door of death will be opened, you can join the resistance army of smart creatures and contribute your own strength. At that time, maybe you will find other ways to re-close the door of death like a hundred years ago, better than to die in vain now."

"I remember, I should have seen you. At a mercenary group meeting in Free City, we were in the mercenary city and were invited to watch the conference." The female ghoul's words surprised everyone. Panis looked at her appearance seriously for the first time and suddenly said: "That time, you were only in your teens behind Nardu of the Palm Leaf Mercenary Group. Is he a logistics mercenary or Nardu's entourage? I seemed to have talked to you a few words at that time. Well, it's too long, I forgot what I said."

"Captain Naldu is a very strict commander. He appointed me as the commander's personal soldier and had very strict requirements on me. He scolded me several times in public. Of course. Later I realized that the commander wanted to train me, which was his unique kindness, but I felt very sad at that time. When I saw you, I was the time when I wanted to withdraw from the mercenary group the most." The female ghoul smiled with a faint gratitude and said softly: "No one noticed what a young entourage of the commander was thinking. But you seemed to have noticed that you picked up the most ordinary little stone and carved it into a beautiful winged lark and gave it to me with a few swords.

When I gave it to me, I said a few words to me, so that I can remember it very clearly until now. The first question you asked me. Do you think you like it now or it is the same as before. After I answered that I like it now, you asked me again, do you think it hurt just now? Do you feel uncomfortable? After you asked these two sentences, patted my head and left, and I have never seen you again. Even the gift you gave me was lost from my neck in a battle more than 20 years later. But I remember your two questions until death. They were these two questions. I persevered in the mercenary group and finally promoted to legend."

"Well, I have done this kind of thing, and I don't remember it." Panis scratched his head and said, "The world is so small. At that time, I persuaded you, and now you have come to persuade me?"

"Yes, I really want to persuade you not to go in. No matter how powerful your power is, it cannot prevent the door of death from opening again." The female ghoul said seriously: "Instead of wasting your life here, it is better to devote yourself to the war afterwards."

"Can you tell us why you said this?" As if feeling the sincerity of the female ghoul, Catherine's tone also eased, and she asked softly: "The strength of those two half-dead people is really that powerful?"

"Sorry, now I'm talking about these things is the limit. If you say them in detail, it means betrayal. I don't plan to betray my own camp yet." The female ghoul smiled apologetically: "The two priests learned my gratitude to Mr. Kyle. I'm allowed me not to participate in this battle, but I'm just meeting you as a messenger. However, this is already the biggest concession to me. If I want to say more, it will be difficult for them to accept it."

"But, just by just a few words of yours, we can't give up our purpose." Catherine shook her head and said, "The purpose of our coming here is to prevent the door of death from opening again. No matter how powerful the obstacle is, we will not retreat."

"Oh, I knew it would be the result." The female corpse ghost smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Maybe this is the reason why the two priests allowed me to say these contents to you. These contents not only cannot dispel your determination to stop the ceremony, but may have a negative effect and strengthen your determination."

"I'm sorry, but it's true." Catherine sighed and said, "But I don't think you are a person who will be tempted by the promised benefits of the half-dead people. Why do you still become like this and stand in their camp?"

"What do you think we should be like? Fierce? Vicious? Kill countless people? Very evil? Indeed, there are people like that among us, and there are a lot of them, but they don't mean all of them." The female ghoul shook her head and said, "There are also many people who will not participate in those evil behaviors. They just need to fight for the two priests when needed."

"Then why are you turned into a ghoul by them?" Catherine asked.

"Why? Because I am afraid of death, very, very afraid of death." The female corpse ghost did not avoid her weakness at all and said bluntly: "Unlike you adventurers, we are mercenaries, we are used to seeing death mercenaries, enemies, and our own. Every battle, death may come to us. Do you think you will be no longer afraid after seeing death? No, on the contrary, the more deaths you see, the more you see, the more you fear death, so, during the period before my death, the more I see, the more I fear death.

In the room, I would pay no expense to be alive. At that time, the two priests came to me and I could continue to live. However, the price I paid was to help them fight according to the situation when needed. How could I refuse such generous conditions? What reason do I have to refuse? Of course, only a few of us, the earliest dead souls, have such preferential treatment, and those who joined later can only fight for them without a choice."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling us this, and thank you for reminding us, although we are unwilling to accept your suggestions." Catherine nodded and said, "Can you tell me about the situation in detail? Of course, on the basis of not affecting you."

"Yes, this does not need to be kept secret." The female ghoul nodded with a heavy face: "First of all, Lord Kyle, you hope that Lord Kyle, you will enter the ritual alone, because your soul is connected to the world of my Lord. If you die completely between the rituals, your soul will become the best sacrifice. Of course, the two Lord Kyle also know the characteristics of your immortality, but it seems that they have some way to make this characteristic weaken every time you die, and after many deaths, you will never be able to resurrect again."

"I've been mentally prepared for a long time." Panis nodded in surprise, "If they didn't have such a way, it wouldn't be possible to attract me here. Haha, but I seem to be underestimated. After regaining my full strength, even if they have two people, do they really think they can easily kill me many times?"

"Maybe you have sufficient confidence, but I'm afraid your confidence cannot stop the two priests. After all..." The female corpse ghost sighed and continued: "As for the ladies, they must stay here. If the ladies also want to break in, the priests will immediately close the ceremony and adopt a backup plan."

"They are probably not just about staying here," said Penis. "I don't believe that the group behind them are just praying there."

"Well, Lord Kyle, you guessed it right. The battle will definitely break out. Now there are twenty-one companions like us. Except for the four people including me who chose to avoid it, the other seventeen companions who are also legendary ranks are all here, and the undead mages are also here. Their mission is to eliminate several ladies as hidden dangers." The female corpse ghost smiled bitterly and said, "It is impossible for several ladies to win under their siege, unless you completely withdraw from the temple. However, once you withdraw from the temple, everyone here will turn back to the rituals and participate in the battle with Lord Kyle. The plan of the main priest has already determined that even if you die here in battle, you will not choose to leave Mr. Kyle and escape."

"Is there anything else?" Catherine was not surprised at all. Even though she knew that the five girls on her side might be facing the siege of hundreds of powerful men, she just asked with a faint smile: "They are already very cautious about our variables, so they should not have prepared anything else."

"Yes, no more." The female ghoul sighed again, knowing that she could not convince the person in front of her to turn back no matter how she was. She could only say bitterly: "I think I have understood your choice. I can only bless you, and I hope you can hold on for a while."

The female ghoul finally looked at everyone's faces, as if she wanted to keep every face in her heart, saluted Panis deeply, and turned around without saying a word.

"No matter what the result is..." Just as the female ghoul was about to push open the door behind her back and return to the apse, Panis suddenly said, "Thank you, Matilda."
