"Wow, Panis, you can actually make breakfast." Lina sat at the dining table, holding her chin and looking at the four breakfasts brought by Panis, and exclaimed: "You can make breakfast, and I think it's okay to have lunch and dinner. I decided that you will be the exclusive chef of our group in the future."
"Why don't you eat?" Seeing that Lina and Catherine were sitting together and looking at her, the food on the plate in front of them had never moved at all, Penis couldn't help but ask strangely: "Is it not suitable for the taste?"
"I'm waiting for you." Lina didn't know which character I changed into at this time. She didn't care about her image and politeness and said while waving her knife and fork: "Eating is to sit together, so that the taste is good."
Panis opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He looked around and asked, "Where is Vivian, why don't you see anyone? Don't you come for breakfast?"
"Don't worry about her." Seeing that Penis finally sat down and picked up the tableware, Lina cheered and couldn't wait to attack the food on the plate. Although her movements were rude, there was a sense of straightforwardness and innocence in it, which was hard to hate.
"Tsk tsk, who is this time?" Panis asked as he looked at Lina's actions, "I haven't seen it before."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Okay, don't tell me." Panis shook his head and asked Catherine: "Don't you really need to call Vivian? I'm ready for her breakfast."
Catherine was eating breakfast very elegantly and ladylikely. When she heard Panis’s question, she didn’t hurry to answer. She put down her knife and fork slowly, swallowed the food in her mouth, pinched the napkin and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and then slowly replied: "No, her living habits at home are completely different from ours. She doesn’t necessarily get up every day. Sometimes she slept for thirteen or fourteen hours, so just like Lina said, don’t worry about her."
Panis frowned: "Is it okay? After living like this for too long, her body... isn't good at all."
"No problem. As for her physical problems..." Katherine pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Panis was slightly stunned.
"A thing you should like very much." Catherine picked up a glass of milk next to the plate and shook it gently in front of her: "There is a rule in our adventure group, not asking about the past or not asking about *. To put it bluntly, among the four of us, each of us has past and * that we don't want to mention. Of course, it's okay if we are willing to mention it on our own initiative, but if we are unwilling to mention it on our own initiative, then not asking is the most basic principle."
"I understand." Panis looked at Catherine with a serious face, then looked at Lina, who seemed to ignore the conversation between the two, nodded and said, "Sorry, I'm too curious."
"You just care about Vivian." Catherine smiled slightly, stood up and picked up the empty plate and walked towards the kitchen, saying as she walked: "Linna, what are your arrangements today?"
"I'll go back to the temple to take a look later. I've been busy since I got home the night before. I haven't had time to go back and say something." Lina gathered her plate and the one in front of Panis, picked it up and followed Catherine into the kitchen: "Then I'm going to the North City to see the two little ghosts, and when I left, I promised them to come back and see them."
"Pennis, what about you? Do you have any plans today? Don't do what happened yesterday anymore." Catherine came from the kitchen with a threatening sound accompanied by the slight collision of water and plates.
"Me? No." Panis seemed to be very uncomfortable with the ordinary homely life in front of him, and he stared blankly at the two girls who were accustomed to cleaning the restaurant and kitchen.
"Then you go with Lina." Catherine suggested: "By the way, you'll be familiar with the environment. After all, this is the base camp of our adventure team."
"Ah? Oh!" Penis did not object: "Now?"
Lina looked through the window at the sky outside, grabbed her coat and said, "It's almost seven o'clock, let's go."
Walking out of the metal fence gate of the Western Paradise, outside is the quiet and peaceful Forks Street. On both sides of the four-meter-wide street, tall silver-scale trees are neatly arranged, and the yellow leaves fall in the breeze of early autumn, covering the stone-blue ground with a golden coat. On both sides of the street are small shops, with pedestrians in groups of three or three coming in and out, adding a bit of noise to the quiet Forks Street. On the quiet street, crisp whips and the shouts of coachmen occasionally sound, and carriages carrying people or cargoes drove past the streets with the sound.
"It's so quiet." Panis was infected by the environment and yawned lazily: "It's so quiet that I want to have another sleep."
"Don't even think about it. My elder sister told me that you don't want to go to other people's trees to sleep again." Lina gave Panis a blank look: "This is the morning here, it's very quiet, and it's lively at noon."
"Buzz", a low roar quickly approached from far and from the end of the street. A rider rode a two-wheeled mechanical car quickly passing by the two with the sound of wind and the roar of machinery.
Panis frowned and looked at the car that was leaving and said, "There are people here who play magic motorcycles. No, it's not magic motorcycles, it's actually crystal energy motorcycles. Tsk, it's really rich."
"It's a crystal-energy motorcycle. It takes one 5,000 tel crystal stone once activated. Haha, that is, one 1,000 gold coins per charging, and only 500 kilometers can run at most after charging. In the Santo capital, there are only Chinese, Stone, Huron, Larry, and McCann, and other non-professional nouveau riche families who are willing to go to play." Lina curled her lips and said disdainfully: "And even these families dare not really drive out of the city. After all, just run a few streets in the city to show your wealth. Running for a month may not necessarily run 500 kilometers. If you really drive out of the city as a means of transportation, these families will not be able to afford the cost."
While chatting, the two of them walked side by side on the thin layer of fallen leaves on the ground and walked side by side on Forks Street in the morning light. In the shops on both sides, merchants who had just opened their doors kept poking their heads out to greet the two.
"Miss Lina is early, are you going out for a walk? Is this the new resident in your place?"
"Sister Lina, wow, **You go away."
"Good morning for Miss Lina, hahaha, don't worry, I'm not old yet, I can work for a few more years, I'll be busy all my life, and I can't stay idle. Is this Mr. Panis the legendary Mr. Panis? Haha, I'm lucky to be happy, and I'll come to the store more often if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Puchi, puchi." Lina smiled secretly while greeting people. She couldn't help but said to Panis: "Panis, you were so amazing yesterday. In one day, most of the businesses on the street knew you."
Panis was not embarrassed at all, but said proudly: "Look, I'm still quite popular."
"Come on, don't comfort yourself." Lina rolled her eyes wide and suddenly turned around and waved to the center of the road, "The car is here, the car is here."
A four-wheeled carriage with a carriage saw Lina waving and slowly stopped beside Lina. The driver in his forties waved to Lina with great energy and said hello: "Miss Lina, you are back. Are you going to church today?"
"Yes, Uncle Harry, are there any free seats?" Hearing the coachman's affirmative answer, Lina pushed Panis towards the side car door.
The carriage was empty, and it could accommodate at least a dozen people. Now there were only two people sitting. After Lina got in the car, she pulled Penis to a corner of the carriage and sat down: "Look at you, have you never taken a public car before?"
"No. I just heard of it, I haven't sat there." Panis shook his head: "I used to ride horses directly when I went out."
"Okay." Lina patted her forehead: "That's just right, let you sit once, so you don't know how to sit when you go out."
"Speaking of this, you should have a magic motorcycle, too." Panis opened the small window next to the seat and let the morning breeze blow on his face: "Why didn't you see it?"
"No need." Lina replied casually at the view outside the carriage: "It's like going to the Crying Cave. This time, the road is too far, and even Vivian and I can charge the Magic Motion Motorcycle will be very hard. Moreover, a Magic Motion Motorcycle can be at most two people. Before, we had three people, one could not sit down, and two were wasted, so we might as well just take a carriage and take a floating boat or a boat. Unless it is very urgent, we generally don't ride a Magic Motion Motorcycle."
"That's right." Panis nodded, and suddenly pointed out the window and said, "That's the Knights Academy. I see the logo. When will there be a Knights Academy in the City of Knowledge?"
Lina looked at Pannis strangely: "It is said that it was found forty years ago. This is just the primary Knight Academy. It is prepared for nearby knight-talented children to study nearby. It is just laying the foundation. If you really want to become a knight, you will have to go to the main school of Faral. How long has it been since you came to the Sanctuary? Don't know these?"
"Well, I was too short of time last time and didn't pay attention." Panis said casually, but fortunately Lina had no intention of exploring it, so she covered up the topic.
With a "pop", the sound of the coachman Harry came: "Miss Lina, the Temple of Earth is here."
"Thank you, Uncle Harry." Lina pulled Penis and jumped out of the carriage, threw a silver coin into the coachman's hand, and waved goodbye to the coachman.
The church of the Goddess of Earth in the City of Knowledge is not the church headquarters, and the god Earth Goddess, the most commonly believed in by peasants and travelers, does not have many believers in the City of Knowledge, so the church here is very small. However, although it is small, all the facilities and buildings that should be equipped with are complete.
As soon as you enter the church gate, you will find a prayer hall prepared for the believers to pray for the believers. In the middle of the prayer hall is a five-meter-high statue representing the gods, but the stone statues are faintly filled with the majesty of the gods. There are no believers visiting the prayer hall at this time, and only an elderly nun sits deep in the hall, closing his eyes to rest. Lina walks into the prayer hall without saying anything, and walks straight to the statue of the gods slowly kneels down, touching the statue with her forehead, and bows her head with a pious face and kissing the toes of the statue.
With the pious kiss, a light yellow holy light appeared out of thin air and fell from Lina's head, letting Lina bathe in the sacred glory.
