Chapter 742: Chapter 7: The Missed Marshland_1

"So you’re saying, you’ve been away from home for two years now?" Galantis, the Lizard Lady, after having a go at Pannis’s sleeve and realizing that he had no signs of running away, let go of the sleeve she’d been tugging on. Her childlike actions made the girls giggle quietly. Once their laughter has subsided, Catherine finally spoke to relieve Pannis, asking Galantis, "How does the outside world feel to you? Any thoughts?"

"The outside world is complicated, hiss," Galantis’s forked tongue flexed like a snake’s as she spoke in imperfect Common Language, "Compared to the swamp, although there’s a lot of delicious and fun things, and even a lot of beautiful scenery that I’ve never seen before, but everything just feels a bit too complex, hiss. People’s words and thoughts aren’t the same, and they are all very strange. Living like this is quite tiring, hiss. My mother was right. Coming to the outside world really is a sort of training. Compared to when I just left the swamp, I feel that I’ve gained a lot more understanding of other races, hiss, and in a few more years, I should be able to go home. I miss the pink mist and popping bubbles in the swamp, and the animals sleeping in the swamp, hiss. The outside world is either too cold or too dry, making my scales uncomfortable," Galantis bouced.

"Er, we’ve actually never been to the swamp before," Catherine tried to visualize what Galantis described and couldn’t help but make a face at the thought of the sweltering humidity, poisonous mist and bubbling swamp full of lurking beasts. She forced a smile and said, "But I’m really sorry, your description of the swamp is kind of..."

"I understand, hiss, you humans definitely won’t be able to adapt to it. Uncle and sister Knight didn’t before either." Galantis looked very happy with Catherine’s candid response. Even her hissing seemed cheerier, "But it’s okay, hiss. The majority of the swamp is still quite friendly to you. We don’t actually live in the areas I mentioned. I just like those environments better, hiss. Even we can’t tolerate living there for long periods."

"Actually, the swamp is indeed quite beautiful," Pannis said, "Though I must say, it is better to appreciate it from afar. I don’t mind staying there for a while, but you’d have to endure the harsh conditions daily if you lived there, hehe."

"You are incredibly frustrating, only telling half-truths," Catherine grumbled discontentedly. Tilting her head in thought she said, "Let me guess, aside from the difference in gender, the main difference between you and us in daily life is the continuous ego of divine shield energy. There wouldn’t be constant danger in daily life, so if it was dangerous, you wouldn’t say that it was very tiring. Taking the swamp environment into consideration..."

"There is a 3.5% chance that it’s due to noxious air, a 7.1% probability of inhaling alien substances like pollen and seeds, a 2.6% possibility of some visually unsettling non-threatening creatures," Ava emotionlessly uttered with a mechanical tone, "The remaining 86.8% probability is the aggravating issue of mosquito bites."

"Ava... Oh, never mind," Catherine sighed, as her enthusiastic expression was suddenly frozen on her face, "Thank you for your analysis. It was very timely and much needed."

"There’s a 1.5% probability that you’re genuinely thanking me, a 2.4% probability that you’re mad," If you looked closely, you would see a tiny smirk and a barely noticeable squint in Ava’s eyes, "The remaining 91.1% of possibility is that you’re expressing sarcasm and helplessness."

"Evil woman, I don’t remember teaching you how to provoke their anger," Catherine barked.

"Are you really willing to believe me when you look into my sincere eyes? Don’t ignite the fire, you won’t be able to compensate for my 300-year-old shop if you burn it down. Also, didn’t you notice I love books? Why would you make a move to throw it? That thick book can kill someone if it hits them, hey hey, you’re still saying that while enhancing your strength magic, are you planning on tearing down the place? Look at yourself, Freya is better, hey, don’t start praying, Catherine, save... hey, tables are for placing things, not hitting people, neither are chairs, Ava, these women have gone crazy, we have such a good relationship, please help me, they’re terrifying."

"Hello, Galantis, my name is Ava, I’m a human," Ava emotionlessly looked at Pannis like he was just thin air, turned to the Lizard Lady without any emotional change and held the tail Galantis extended towards her. Imitating Catherine and Pannis, she gave it a shake. "I’m genuinely very interested in the ecosystem of your swamp. Could you provide me with a detailed introduction? After all, according to Goblin history records, swamps aren’t suitable for humanoid beings."

"Hey, Ava, that’s really not fair," Catharine’s rant got interrupted when the serving hustler quickly stepped in to ask, "Dear guests, are you ready to order your meals?"

"Er, yes, we are," Everyone returned to their respective seats. Catherine coughed lightly, twirling a fallen strand of hair and said, "Let’s begin, thank you."(To be continued.
