Just like when he invited Phila more than a hundred years before the battle, he was sitting at the table in his perennial black robe, with a staff set with a few gems on the top, a place he could easily touch. [] is still so thin, the aura around him is still so indifferent, the long corridor is like a time and space tunnel, through this corridor, Pannis is like passing through a sad dream that has lasted for more than a hundred years, and when he wakes up again, he is back a hundred years ago, back to the beginning.

But unfortunately, the corridor is just a corridor, and it will never become a time and space tunnel, and it is impossible for Pennis to go back a hundred years ago, and Phila will never go back, and the time spent will never start all over again, just like the current Phila. Once powerful and proud, a demigod mage at the apex of mankind, a lord with a vast land, a few syllables from his thin lips can make the stars fall and the earth shatter, in the face of such a strong man, no matter how powerful and terrible the enemy, he must bow his head respectfully. However, in the face of ruthless time, what kind of strong person must also succumb, just like Fira is now.

Today's Fira is still trying to sit upright at the table, still trying to straighten her back and maintain her pride. But no matter how hard he tried, he could only use his arms to support the table to keep his body stable. Viewed from a distance through the transparent crystal, the pale and thin face was covered with criss-crossing wrinkles, and the skin and muscles on the face were shriveled like a piece of dry bark. Fila wore a large square scarf around her chest. With one arm propping up the table and the other holding a soup spoon, he is chopping up the food from the plate and mixing it up and putting it in his mouth. However, his hands, which could hold the reagent bottle stably, were trembling violently, and his trembling hands were even close to twitching, and he couldn't put the soup spoon into his mouth after several attempts, and the food pieces in the soup spoon were known to Suosuo's whereabouts with the trembling of his hands, and soon only a few pieces remained in the soup spoon, most of which had fallen on the table or even on the square towel on his chest with the trembling. But Fira still didn't give up. After a few more efforts, I finally got the spoon to my mouth. After taking it out, he began to struggle with the food on the plate again.

Several maids who took care of him had been standing on both sides, and when they saw this situation, they had no intention of helping. I just watched him poke the spoon in his face again and again, until his face was covered with food scraps.

"Master Fira, he ......" Catherine could hardly believe her eyes, the knight maiden had imagined the scene of facing a hero countless times, and even imagined that Phila was bedridden like Christo, but she definitely did not expect to see this scene, such a powerful person, but now he could not even eat by himself. Catherine bit her lip and was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned back to Felek and asked, "Why don't those handmaidens go to help? Can't they feed the master?"

Felek shook his head, the smile on his face was full of bitterness, and he lowered his voice and said, "You don't understand what a proud person he is, teacher. He didn't allow himself to take care of himself, eat, change clothes, go to the toilet, he insisted on doing all these things by himself, and no one wanted to help. They will even get angry because of it and scold the person who wants to help. You don't know. We had to make the teacher agree that the maid would chop the food for him, and more than half of the students at different stages rushed back and gathered around the teacher for several days to persuade him to reluctantly agree. ”

"Why chop up the food?" Catherine asked subconsciously, but in a blink of an eye, she figured out the reason, shook her head and said, "Alas, the master, his teeth are no longer able to chew this food?"

"But, like this, like this, like this...... Vivian also frowned unbearably, clenched her little fists tightly, gritted her teeth and said: "Even if you insist like this, it will be ugly." ”

"So in recent years, the teacher has never been out of the party. Felek sighed and said, "And no outsiders are allowed to be present during meals, even if we students try not to let us see them." ”

Everyone suddenly closed their mouths, and the corridor fell into a dead silence, and everyone just looked at a dying old man from a distance through the transparent wall, still using his best strength to maintain his only dignity. Perhaps for most people, at this age, it is not strange that the body is plagued by illness, and it is not strange to leave life to the servants to take care of it, but Fira's pride does not allow him to do so, the mighty Fira, full of wisdom, Fira, who can destroy a city with his hands, will never allow himself to bow to time and disease, even if he wants to crawl forward, he must raise his head and climb forward proudly.

"That's what you want us to see. Pannis hadn't said a word since he saw Fila, and his eyes hadn't left this old friend for even a second, then he finally slowly withdrew his gaze, without any expression on his face, but with a heavy sadness in his eyes, and said to Felek: "We already understand his current state, you don't have to worry, we will take care of everything as soon as possible, we won't bother him for too long, and we won't make excessive demands, don't worry." ”

"Thank you very much. Felek solemnly bowed to a few people and thanked everyone very seriously: "I know that you must have something very important to visit the teacher, and I didn't stop your thoughts, but I have to protect my teacher, so I have to use this way to persuade everyone, thank you for your understanding." ”

"But is it okay for us to stand here like this?" "Pannis's face was still sinking like a pool of stagnant water, "If he could see us when he raised his head, would he be flustered then?"

"Heh, don't worry, the teacher can't see us. The smile on Felek's face became even more bitter, and he couldn't see any difference between crying and crying: "At a distance of more than one meter, the teacher can only rely on the size to distinguish the characters, and if it is farther away, even if there is someone there, he will not be able to tell whether there is anyone there." We are at least more than ten meters away from the teacher, and there is a crystal wall in the middle, although it is transparent, but it will still cause a little impact, so there is no need to worry that the teacher will see us. ”

"Whew, it seems that there are not only sight and hearing in the six senses. Pannis shook his head and said, "Has even energy sensing become so sluggish?"

"The ability to induce energy is slightly better than you might think. Felek finally said a piece of good news: "The main thing is that during the construction of the magic tower, a part of the function of disturbing energy sensing was added to the entire scope of the tower, which can only be avoided in a few rooms. So with this shield, it's normal for the teacher not to sense you, after all, this sensing ability still declines greatly with age. ”

Pannis sighed softly and closed his mouth, and the corridor fell silent again, and everyone quietly watched the old man ten meters away with extremely complicated feelings as he put a spoonful of food into his mouth and sprinkled it on his body, every movement was focused, as if he had once put all his body and mind into the front of the experimental table.

I don't know how long it took, the old man finally finished eating or spilling the plate in front of him, took the napkin handed by the maid, even if his hand was stretched out and he didn't take anything, he still maintained a violent shaking, as if as long as he exerted his strength, his right hand would twitch uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop.

"I'll go and make an announcement, masters, wait. It wasn't until he watched his teacher finish his lunch in pain that Felek took a long bite, as if he was the one who experienced the pain, and even sweat oozed from his forehead, and said bitterly: "The room surrounded by opaque walls next door is the teacher's private reception room, or you go there first and sit there for a while, and the teacher will soon be over." ”

"No need. But Pannis refused: "After a while he has cleaned himself up, you can go in and report it, and say that we have just arrived, and that I insisted that you bring us directly here, so that he will not be angry with you because of this." ”

"It's fine. Felek thought for a moment, nodded with a wry smile, and said, "Then let's wait a little longer." ”

Said to wait a little longer, in fact, the eight people stood in place for another ten minutes, watching Fila carefully wipe the stains on her hands and face with a napkin, and then reached behind her neck and took off the square scarf around her chest, his every movement was very slow, as if in slow motion, just one action to take off the scarf, it took nearly two minutes.

But fortunately, he insisted that he didn't do much, except for washing his hands and face and picking off napkins, the rest was quickly completed by the four maids, until everything was over, and after the maids brought the black tea to the old man after the meal, Pannis signaled: "It's okay, you go and report, thank you." ”

Felek answered, walked quickly to the door of the restaurant, knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds before he dodged into the restaurant. The soundproofing of the building was very good, and the girls across the wall could not hear the sound inside at all, only to see Felek hanging his hands, respectfully walking to Phila's side, bowing to his teacher first, and then bending down to the teacher's ear to say a few words.

Hearing Felek's report, the old man's face appeared with obvious surprise, he turned to look in this direction, and tried to stand up with his hands on the table, but after several attempts he was unsuccessful, and he sat back down halfway through. Felek wanted to reach out to help, but was pushed away by the old man very dissatisfied, and he tried several more times before he finally got up smoothly, holding the wand beside him, and walked tremblingly towards the outside of the restaurant.
