Chapter 62: News from an Old Friend

"Fila's students?" Pannis said in surprise, "Why did Fila's students come to you, I remember that you two don't seem to know each other, and you don't have any contact, it can't be that I remember wrong." [Reading Network]"

"Hey, you're not mistaken, we didn't know each other back then. Alcmene said: "But in the last ten years, hiss, he has come to me a few times, and he has known each other, so what's so strange about it." ”

"Well, he should be looking for you for one purpose. Pannis frowned and said, "Do you want to heal you?"

"Well, just ask me to get some herbs to heal, hiss. Alcmene nodded: "In the past ten years, his body has become worse and worse, hissing, but it is no wonder, after all, he has used time magic to forcibly break through the limits of human beings, and he has lived for decades more, and it is inevitable that his body will deteriorate." ”

"How is he now?" Pannis then understood why the red-robed mage looked at him a little strangely just now, presumably as Fira's chief apprentice, he must have recognized himself and understood his identity, so he would have this reaction. Pannis sighed and asked in a low voice, "I know his health is getting worse and worse, how far has he got?"

"Hiss, how can you understand this. Alcmene had a headache and tried to explain in a language that was not particularly professional: "His current activities are basically supported by my medicine, hissing, if he can't take his medicine on time every day, I'm afraid he won't even be able to stand up soon." But even so, hiss, his consciousness could remain awake. It's kind of a surprising thing. This disease of his, hissing, is common to many elderly people. It's just not as serious as him. However, as I just said with his apprentice Felek, hiss, the power of the drug is always limited, and the human body is slowly adapting to the properties of the drug, hissing, the more times you take it. The worse the effect, the shorter the duration will be. And so it goes. Hiss, I'm afraid another half a year, a year at most, hiss. The effect of the drug will not be able to combat the aggravation of the disease, and I am afraid that it will ...... You get the idea. ”

"It seems that this old fellow can't hold it anymore, time is really the most violent poison reads; Devil's playground. Pannis let out a long breath, relaxed his body and leaned back in his chair, looked up at the wood grain on the roof of the tree, and said faintly: "I still remember when we went deep into the ice field together to find the bones of the Guardian, that guy and Nelly were born with different personalities, and they often looked down on each other because of some trivial things, but they worked together quite tacitly. A guardian knight plus an elemental mage who specializes in sculpting energy, on the ice field, no, no. It can be said that it is a near-invincible existence anywhere. That time the little goblin and I were really relaxed, even against four or five of the most powerful frost bears in the depths of the ice field, there was no need for us to do anything, just watching the two of them perform, and the demigod-level frost bears were easily baked into charcoal. Oh, I didn't expect that. Just in the blink of an eye, Nelly died. The little goblin is dead, and now it's finally Fira's turn?"

"Yes, hiss, and in a few years, maybe it will be my turn. Although Alcmene as a high priestess, she has learned to speak tactfully, but her personality determines that she cannot comfort others like other races, so she just said very calmly: "I suggest you go and see him, if you delay it too long and hiss, I am afraid that you will never have the opportunity to visit him again." ”

"Yes, I'll go. Pannis nodded and said: "Anyway, the road to go back from you is not far from his territory, and you can get there by taking a half-day detour, do you have anything else, if you have something, I can go by myself." ”

"Even if something happens, it's not that urgent. The girls looked at each other for a while, and Catherine said on behalf of everyone, "If you want, of course we choose to go with you." Moreover, since the name of Nelly-sama has been used as the symbol of the party, how can we not visit our comrades-in-arms of the former adults? This is the greatest honor for us, even if there are other things to be put aside. ”

"Then it's decided. These empathetic girls were always so considerate of others, and he was not surprised at all by the girls' choice, Panis, he just smiled and said to Alcmene: "Since we are here, we are not in such a hurry to leave, anyway, those things are not in a hurry in the next day or two." We're going to stay at your house for two days, and Galantis said we'd take them around the neighborhood to have a good look, are you okay?"

"If you can promise not to eat up all my food reserves, hiss. Alcmene put his tail in front of Pennis, pointed at him and said, "Don't think I'll forget it so easily, hiss, there were only two of you at the beginning, saying that you wanted to observe the follow-up effect, but you ended up living in my house for a month, hissing, and eating up my food for more than half a year, so that I had to go to the tribe to apply for assistance." Hiss, this time I actually brought so many people over, hiss, you are going to eat up my food for more than half a year in two days. ”

"Hey, don't make a fuss, so many people are watching. Pannis jumped around on the spot to dodge the lizard-man priestess whipping his legs with his thick tail, and from time to time Garantis sneaked out of his way to trip his tail, and said with a smile: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say, we haven't eaten so much, hey, don't make a fuss, why are you still here, I admit that we have eaten a little more, but it can't be your stock for more than half a year." Galantis, you made trouble, but you fed you a lot of it, and when you grew up, not only did you not repay me, but you attacked me with your mother. ”

The girls watched the battle between the lizardman mother and daughter and Pennis with a smile on their lips. They find themselves misunderstood, lizardmen are blunt but not cold, they may not comfort their friends with words, but they tend to distract them through actions, so that they unconsciously divert their attention from their memories and stop drowning in sadness and melancholy.

In the end, Pannis failed, and although he dodged the tail attacks of the two lizardman ladies, he forgot that there was a sworn enemy by his side. The innocent Hydra Jack didn't know Alcmene's intentions and wouldn't cooperate, he just thought it was fun, so he used his advantage of nine necks to attack in a wide area, and finally bit Pennis's trouser leg, making poor Pannis want to fall into hell with a flap of his tail.
