Chapter 113: Victor's Hole Cards
"But you've only been here three times in a few years, doesn't that tell the story?" said Pannis, "Although you didn't participate directly, in fact, those circles are driven by you being here as the main hub." And I'm afraid there are a lot of other influences, that's why you've been staying here, right? ”
"Heh, you're so reflexive. Victor applauded expressionlessly, and slowly praised: "You guessed right, I've been staying here all these years because I need a general hub to control the magic circles everywhere. But you are wrong, I am indeed the main hub, but the main hub does not have to be me, as long as you know the magic of time, you can take on the task of the master hub. Hehe, haven't you thought that the teacher can teach me as a student, and you don't think I have the ability to teach a student who can master the magic of time?"
"I don't think time magic is so easy to master. Pannis was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If it is really so easy to master, you will not be the only one who has so many students in Fira. ”
"That's because the teachers love us and don't want to teach us. Victor slowly turned his gaze to Moore and said, "Maybe you don't know, Mr. Kyle, but the other ladies are not unfamiliar with the name Sandy, do you remember, how old was Sandy when she was wanted by the Mage Guild thirty-eight years ago, and how old should she be now?"
"Eighty-one years old. Vivien snorted coldly and replied reluctantly, "He was forty-three years old when he was wanted. ”
"Do you need me to explain the rest of the story?" said Victor calmly, "Or is this Mr. Moore who has been following Sandy for months and still thinks he is still an eighty-one-year-old man?" How many mages like him there will be in our church?"
"Well, I must admit. Your success has left us in doubt. Pannis sighed and whispered, "And then? What do you want to say?"
"Actually, it's nothing, so let's start by introducing our plans and arrangements to you. Victor suddenly stood up from his throne and walked slowly down the stone steps, although he had a young body, he walked in a completely frail old man's posture. Reaching the bottom of the steps, Victor was confronted for the first time up close with the members of the party, the demigod mage's skin was sickly pale. The white ones are close to transparent, and the cyan blood vessels peek out from under the pale skin, and through the cold fluorescence, you can even see the blood flowing under the blood vessels. After getting closer to everyone, Victor slowly continued: "As I said before, we have arranged this city into a giant magic circle, and we are going to use it to plunder enough time to produce quantitative changes. However, this project obviously cannot be carried out by relying on one or two magic circles, and no one can draw a giant magic circle of that size, and even if it is successful. No one will be able to attach magic to it. So, in order for the circle to work, it was necessary to think of another way. So, in the end, we split the circle, dismantled the complete circle into a series of magic formulas, and then used the circle as a point to make up each magic line, and reset the circle into a large magic array. Once the array is activated at the node, the entire spell array can have the exact same effect as the unitary circle, continuously extracting the time of creatures in the range and converging it at the hub. ”
"You continue. I'm listening. Pannis frowned and said, "That doesn't sound like a good thing. ”
"It's not a good thing for you, but it's the opposite for me. Victor's voice was less emotional than Eva: "The current situation is. All circles are hidden in very secluded locations, once activated at the hub. Then if the circle at some key nodes is not destroyed, the entire circle array will take effect, and even if the circle at the key node is destroyed, the remaining circles will continue to work in a separate way until they complete their mission and empty the time of all creatures in the area. ”
"Very creative design. Pannis's face became a little ugly, and he said with a sneer: "You mages can always use all kinds of ways that ordinary people can't imagine, to do something with unique effects, I must admit that you deform the magic circle in this way and use it later, it will cause us considerable trouble and make us feel very headaches." ”
"Actually, I don't care if you guys get bothered, we're just doing our experiments in the most efficient way possible. Victor said as a matter of course: "Moreover, the array array of this scale is not limited to the Third Flame City, in several cities, there are the same arrangements as here, as for the reason, of course, it is because among the high-level officials of these cities, there are my followers." ”
None of the seven showed a surprised expression, and it was clear that everyone was not surprised by what Victor had said. In the process of tracing along the way, we have found some very hidden magic circles in several cities, each city is indeed more than one, although it was not known at the time that the combination of these magic circles can cause the entire city to be covered, but it can also be inferred that the members of the Sands of Time have a high status in these cities, and even the consuls of a certain city. So, when Victor put everything in plain sight, Pannis stared down at the ground and was silent for a long time before saying: "Since you unreservedly opened your hole cards, it means that you think it has reached the last moment, okay, tell us about your ultimate goal, and explain to us so much, what do you want to ask for?"
"Heh, don't worry. Victor seemed to smile, but his face remained expressionless all the year round, making his smile very stiff: "I can provide you with drawings to mark several cities where the circles have been placed, and I will also indicate the location of each circle so that you can destroy them." As for those who set up their formations, hehe, anyway, there are so many high-ranking officials in each city, and you can't rely on this to determine who our people are. ”
"I don't think you're going to give us the drawings so easily. Pannis sighed and said, "If you want to give back, you have to pay, say, what are your requirements?"
"It's simple. Victor said slowly, "How about we make a bet?"
