(Happy holidays, I don’t know how you are doing. Anyway, I have discovered that it’s not reliable to save manuscripts during the holidays.)

"Because my sister reads the newspaper." Catherine also likes these two innocent and strong children. Their reputation in art is entirely due to their own efforts. Such children who work hard in a certain field are always likeable: "The newspaper is very eye-catching. You two will perform before midnight. You are really amazing. The New Year's celebration performance meeting has tens of thousands of audiences. I can't even think about this kind of thing."

"Yeah." Michelle and Ansha nodded vigorously, enjoying Catherine's heartfelt praise: "Uncle Penis and his sisters must come to our performance at that time, and you are not allowed to come."

"Of course, we will all go." Catherine said dotingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely cheer you up."

"You two, have a good meal for me." Lina glared at the twins like a mother: "I warn you that if you dare to appear again, you just need to practice and forget to eat, and then we will not go nowhere."

"Yes~~~~, I know!" Mixueer lowered her head in a bad mood, pouted and said in a long voice: "I promise not."

I have to admit that as a part-time chef, Pannis is still very qualified. All three girls in Nellie's adventure group, including Catherine, all think so. He can prepare food for seven people in less than an hour. People who eat it will not taste the hasty taste in the dishes, and the ingredients used are the most common ingredients, and the prices are quite cheap. This is crucial, at least Catherine thinks so. Since Pannis joined this big family, there is obviously one more person, but the monthly meal expenses, if you only count the ones who cook at home, the monthly expenses will be reduced from ten gold coins to eight. Of course, for members of the advanced adventure group, it doesn't make much sense to be ten or eight gold coins, but Catherine is always special, at least in terms of money.

After the simple but hearty dinner, the twin girls and the little banshee began their routine activities every time they gathered. The very large western temple became a paradise for three girls, allowing them to chase and play. Every time at this moment, the western temple was filled with laughter, and even the dark corridors of the western temple were infected by this joy and became bright.

"The undead and humans can coexist." Panis sat on the chair with his legs raised, holding his chin with his hands as he watched the three little girls run past the door of the lounge, muttering to himself: "This kind of thing is really magical."

"What's wrong with Panis?" Catherine threw a Pasgoo to Panis through the case, "What are you muttering about?"

"Actually, I hate the undead." Panis didn't move, but just turned his eyes toward Catherine: "Very very, very disgusting."

"Why?" Catherine said in surprise: "Anne is so clingy to you, you are very nice to Anne, I thought you like the undead very much."

"There is a reason Anne sticks to me. I hate the undead because of the same willingness." Panis leaned back on the tilted backrest of the reclining chair, raised Pasgo and looked up and said, "The undead often represents cold death, madness and despair of losing his mind. Hateful to the creatures is the nature of most undeads, and it is quite rare to be able to fight against this nature. To be honest, if Anne had not shown a certain degree of wisdom and human friendliness at the beginning, I would have cut it with a sword as early as when we met."

"It's so bloody." Lina curled her lips: "What about now? Still want to chop her?"

"How could it be?" Panis smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although I don't know why Anne is rational, now she can no longer be regarded as a dead soul, but she is more like a human-shaped intelligent creature. Since that's the case, why should I cut her down?"

"Then we have to consider how to arrange her in the future," Lina said: "We can't let her stay at home all the time, but letting her go out is afraid of scaring others. This is quite troublesome."

"Actually, I have an opinion," said Penis. "After a while, I'll find an opportunity to take her to find her parents."

"You mean the institute?" Lina asked, "Take her to see her parents' bodies?"

"Yes, take her to the place where her parents died." Panis explained: "The existence of the dead is often because of a resentment or obsession that cannot be given up before death. For Anne, she should be seeing her parents again. In this case, it is better to take her to see her parents."

"But that way, Annie will disappear, right?" Lina asked, "Doesn't this mean we killed her?"

"No, that's not death, she'd died long ago." Panis said: "For the dead, that's liberation. Moreover, although I'm not sure, theoretically, the possibility of her disappearance is very small. Only the irrational undead will only get the final relief after fulfilling her wishes in her lifetime. But Anne is not, Anne is a sensible death banshee, and I'm afraid she won't disappear so simply."

"Sister, what do you think?" Lina was not sure, so she had to ask Catherine for help: "You'll make a decision."

"What's the matter?" Catherine looked up blankly and asked in confusion: "What's the decision?"

"Sister, why are you okay to learn from Vivian?" Lina said distressedly: "It's enough to have a Vivian at home."

"Sorry, I'm reading the newspaper." After listening to Lina's brief explanation of the discussion just now, Catherine thought about it seriously before saying, "I suggest asking her what she thinks. Of course, from my personal perspective, I support Panis's view. Whether it is liberation or death, what should be faced or what to face, and things can be avoided for a while, but in the end there must be a day that must be faced, and you can't escape for the rest of your life, right? Panis?"

"Hahaha." Panis laughed dryly, pretending to be very interested and changed the topic: "What were you looking at just now? You were so careful that you didn't even hear Lina and I talk to you?"

Catherine glared at Panis with a squinted look, but did not press further, and took advantage of the situation to bypass the topic that suddenly became a little heavy: "News about the New Year auction?"

"What is the New Year auction?" Penis asked in confusion: "Is it very special?"

"Not just now... Oh, by the way, I didn't say it just now." Catherine smiled awkwardly and handed over the newspaper: "It's the New Year's Day, a special event for the Saint Capital. It was jointly organized by three major auction houses, and the three auction houses took turns to auction some special or expensive goods. The participants are all those who are interested in the auction items, whether tourists or locals, you can participate as long as you are interested."

"We'll participate, too?" asked Penis, "Is there anything you want to take a photo? Let you pay so much attention."

"Of course I won't participate." Catherine said with a wry smile: "There are rich people coming to visit from all over the world for a tour of the New Year auction, so the prices are often very high. Even if you have something you want, you can't afford to buy it. So I just saw a list of auction items, which felt quite interesting."

"Interesting?" Penis read the newspaper: "I didn't feel it interesting at all!"

"Look at the first product," said Catherine. "It's at the bottom of the first edition."

"The Heart of Time?" Panis was stunned and said blankly: "You are right, it's quite interesting."

The Heart of Time is a crimson gem. Thousands of years ago, countless fierce battles were set off in the Yara world. At least ten demigods had fallen because of it, and more than five empires were destroyed because of it. As for legends and below-level professions who died for it, there were countless numbers of legends and professionals at the lower level.

A gem can achieve such a record not because it is so beautiful. Of course, the heart of time is indeed very beautiful. The crimson surface is crystal clear and exudes charming brilliance, but this characteristic alone cannot cause such a painful result. The real reason is because of a legend.

According to legend, there is a powerful energy hidden in the heart of time, energy related to eternal life. As long as it can absorb this energy, it can obtain the eternal life that most people dream of. For this legend that has been circulated from unknown places, death and blood have been following this gem, and the owner has been changed countless times during this period, but no one has ever felt the existence of energy in the heart of time, let alone absorbing this energy to obtain eternal life.

In the end, people finally realized that everyone was fooled. This was just a beautiful gem without any particularity, let alone the so-called immortality. So people regarded it as a curse that would bring ominousness and avoid it. Of course, this was just a self-comfort. The reason why people really avoided it is because the gem carries a heavy history. Many rich and boring collectors are very interested in it. As a result, the price of it is pushed higher and higher, so that not many people can afford it with normal means.

"It's really interesting." Panis put down the newspaper and said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that the auction would actually take out this kind of thing for auction. I'm very interested and want to know how much the price will be finally sold."

"The starting price is only 500,000 gold coins, and the transaction price is probably astronomical." Catherine curled her lips and looked distressed: "It has nothing to do with professional ancient ruins, it is just a simple beautiful gem. There are so many idiots who can spend a lot of money to grab it. I really don't understand what their psychology is."

"No, no, no, the value of this kind of thing is no longer the point. Even if it is a broken stone, there is no difference." Panis shook his head and said, "What a small number of rich people really pursue is the history and blood behind it. Of course, there are not many such people, but more of the other people, who are just trying to use this expensive thing to show their wealth and identity."

"So, a bunch of idiots." Catherine finally made a judgment for them with envy.

"Would we go and have a look that day?" Panis asked with some interest: "It should look very lively."

"The time conflicts, otherwise I would like to go and see it too." Catherine said helplessly: "I promised Michelle and the others to go to the New Year celebration. It just happened to be in conflict with the time of the auction, so I couldn't go."
