"Forget it, I won't ask. "Pannis grinned, gritted his teeth and said:" However, if there are twenty or thirty bottles, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have an effect, and there should be the effect of the decline of the elixir, so that it can only be calculated that one person can only search in the death forest for four or five days, for millions of square kilometers of the death forest, even if you know the specific location, this time is not enough, even if you have a formula, if the difficulty of refining the potion is as high as you said, if you want to refine a batch of potions that can be used by two demigods to explore the core area, it will take at least another year, the question is, how can there be another year for us to wait, who knows when the two half-dead will implement their plan。 ”

"Seven months later. "I got a notice not long ago, and they told me to implement my plan as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. When they will implement their plan in November of this year, I don't know exactly when it will be. As for their plan, you should have already thought of it, reopen the door of death, reintroduce the tide of the undead into the world of Yara, awaken Danacus with the death of countless creatures, and then through the direct connection between the two worlds, let Danakus's divine power penetrate deep into this world, turning the world into a paradise for the undead, as for the location of reopening the door of death, of course, it is still the old place. ”

"Is it really appropriate for you to do this?" Although the mention of the name Danacus always makes Pannis's heart throb, but Fira's words are too inconsistent with the current situation, so that Pannis can't help but cry and laugh and say: "This kind of thing should be confidential, right, you just told me the time and place?" Even if it is like you said, do you tell me that there is no essential difference between the two endings, but you are allies after all, and it is always a little bad to do so. ”

"What's so bad. Fila sneered: "I have no interest in continuing to play with them because of this kind of plan that is not destined to succeed, not to mention that it is just a mutual use, do you think they have any good intentions when they tell me? I don't think you are so naïve." ”

"Destined not to succeed?" Pannis, putting away the banter on his face, frowned and asked, "Why do you think they are destined not to succeed?" Do you know something?"

"Although I have not yet become a god, I have a deeper grasp of the rules of time than anyone else, through the river of time. I also occasionally see a lot of things that others can't see. Fira looked out the window again, and said leisurely: "This is not a prophecy, this is just a search for the truth in the river of time." ”

"So, what do you see?" Pannis, holding the armrest of the chair tightly, asked seriously, "In the world of the dead." What happened to Danacus? You said it wasn't destined to succeed, you must know. ”

"This cannot be said, old friend. Phila shook her head and said softly: "It's actually not good for you or me to say it, so you better put away your curiosity, if there is a future, you will naturally know, if there is no future, it is useless if you know." Actually, I can't see what I want now, only by chance. It's just a few pieces to see, so don't ask so much. ”

"I see. Pannis sighed: "Then don't mention whether their plan will succeed, you just said that the location where they are ready to reopen the door of death is in the old place, no wonder they will deploy those swamp lurkers in advance in the whispering swamp, I'm afraid that the surrounding areas of the sighing desert have dark chess pieces that they have arranged in advance, and then let them collectively launch before reopening the door of death, creating serious chaos to divert the attention of the demigods and prevent the demigods from discovering in advance." No, no. I understand that your presence is too important to them, and once your plan succeeds, most of the Mage Nation and the small half of the Falar Empire will be reduced to death. The entire Yala world may be turbulent because of your plan, and when the time comes, they can take this opportunity to guide the undead to ascend the Bute Plateau, after all, a drop of several thousand meters is a natural danger for the living, and it is not completely insurmountable for the undead who are tireless and not afraid of death. In this way, if the encirclement of the Desert of Sighs were opened, it would be impossible to imagine that they would be sealed off in an empty desert as it was more than a hundred years ago. ”

"Well, that's their plan, and they're not afraid of being known at all, because they know very well that I don't care what happens to the world of Yarra after this. Phila sneered, "They were right, I know very well that even if their plan ultimately fails, opening the door to death will still cause a large number of beings to die, but I really don't care, so I will always work with them." Unfortunately, you managed to find this place, but knowing that you were still alive, I had a second plan ready, and now it seems that I didn't think much of it. I know you too well, Kyle, and since you're alive and reinvigorated, I'm afraid it's hard to hide from you what I've done, and you're going to be in my way. ”

"Of course, I can't watch tens of millions of people die because of your plan. Pannis leaned back in his chair and said with regret on his face, "If I did, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." ”

"Hehe, I understand. Fila smiled, "Actually, I'm already happy that you'll come to see me alone, not only because my final plan won't deviate, but also because it means that we are still friends, at least until now." ”

"Of course, we've been friends for years. Pannis squinted his eyes and said, "So when a friend does something wrong, I must stop him myself, not by the hand of someone else, so as not to tarnish this friendship." ”

"You guy, it's been so many years, and you've changed so much, but you're still so persistent about justice. Fila's cold face showed a rare emotional fluctuation: "It would be nice if this also changed." ”

"Then I'm no longer me. Without a moment's hesitation, Pannis replied, "Like if you were no longer attached to knowledge, do you think you would still be Fira?"

"That's right, people like us don't change our nature easily. Fila smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I can still remember what you looked like when you first stormed here." ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid I'm the first person to rush into your lab on the pretext of letting you host us for lunch. Pannis couldn't help but laugh as he recalled what had happened: "Who told you to say those diplomatic words to Kerry that time?" ”

"I met that goblin at that school seminar, and he insisted on pulling me to keep mentioning you and Nelly, and said that he wanted to introduce me to him, and I could only use diplomatic rhetoric to deal with him, who would have thought that you would pretend to take a polite polite sentence seriously, and really come to me for lunch. Fira smiled bitterly and said, "You will do this, you are not only the first, but also the last, at that time, I thought, this person must have something wrong with his brain, it is worth observing." ”

"If I don't, it's not easy to see you. With a smug expression, Pannis tilted his head and said, "If it wasn't for this method to arouse your interest, how could I have a chance to convince you to help." As a result, you guy was reluctant to have a lunch, so he perfunctory me with a pot of tea. ”

"Seriously, I didn't understand at the time, what does the large-scale eruption of earth fire inside the Permafrost Wasteland have to do with you?" Fira asked suspiciously, "It's just a natural disaster, why did you have to pull the three of us and take the risk to stop it, only to do nothing after you went, and turn around and leave after watching the eruption up close?"

"It's not about stopping, it's about observing. Pannis explained: "I've looked up the data, and every two or three hundred years, the permafrost wasteland will have a super-large eruption of earthfire, and each gushing will cause a large amount of ice and snow to melt, causing countless ice crystals to return to sleep. It's actually nothing, the ice crystals don't care, but in fact the harm is not only that, as the earth fire erupts, a large amount of smoke and ash will be sprayed into the air together, and then spread around with the wind, those things are very harmful to living beings, and every eruption in the records will cause a large number of ordinary people to die in the following years, so I wanted to try it, maybe I can stop this eruption. Fortunately, it was just a small eruption, so I left after watching the eruption, and by the way, I played with the ice crystals for a few days. ”

"Sure enough, it really looks like you and Nelly are doing it. Fila said helplessly: "Always take care of something that has nothing to do with you, just like you stood in front of me this time." ”

"yes. Pannis's relaxed expression faded, and he lowered his gaze again, repeating in a low voice, "Just as I stood in front of you this time." ”

Silence regained in the laboratory, and between the two long-time friends, fell into an awkward silence, which lasted for a long time, before Fira sighed softly and broke the dead silence: "It seems that what should be said and what should not be said has come to an end, no matter how much you and I avoid it, the topic finally turns back to the present." ”

Pannis smiled, his smile stiffer than crying: "I can sit down and chat again, I'm already very satisfied, in fact, haven't we all been mentally prepared from the beginning?"

"Well, I am indeed mentally prepared, although you are my only friend, but after this meeting, there is still only one person who can get out of the magic tower alive in the end. Phila stood up, poured the last bit of green leaf tea in the pot into the two of them's teacups, and said softly, "Since our friendship began with a pot of green leaf tea, let's also end with a pot of green leaf tea." ”

"It's weird, I don't understand why I've always liked green leaf tea. Pannis squinted and shielded his eyes with the mist in the teacup: "It's such a bitter taste." ”

"Who knows. Fila walked to the window, picked up the staff leaning against the wall, stared out the window, and repeated in a dreamy voice, "Who knows." ”

A thunderclap sounded from the depths of the clouds outside the window, and the torrential rain that had been brewing for several hours finally sprinkled from the sky like the tide of a broken embankment, and the cool rain dispelled the sweltering heat that had lasted for half a day and rejuvenated the whole city. However, in the midst of the torrential rain, the door of the magic tower was tightly closed. (To be continued.) )
