Chapter 142: Wandering Away from Time

"Are you...... The maid miss?" Catherine looked at the maid who came over unexpectedly, no matter what point of view, this maid was just an ordinary person and not a professional, but now this ordinary maid walked generously towards the people of the adventure group, without the usual sense of restraint when ordinary people faced strange legendary-level professionals. [No pop-up novel network]

"Hello everyone, several masters, and Master Pannis. The maid walked up to a few people, with a professional smile on her face, slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied, and said, "I am the maid who follows Master Fira, you can just call me maid." ”

"Well, we remember you. Catherine asked suspiciously, "May I ask Miss Maid what is the matter with you?" and what do you mean by what you just said?

"Master Pannis, I'm not surprised to see you coming out of the magic tower. The maid only nodded at Catherine's question, and instead of answering directly, she turned to Pannis and said, "Since you are standing here, it means that Master Phila has also returned to the embrace of the river of time, right, Master Pannis." ”

"This maid lady who needs me to escort her out of the Magic Tower is not as simple as she seems. Pannis looked the maid up and down for a long time with a strange expression, but no matter how long he looked at it, he could only come to one conclusion, this maid was definitely not a professional, just a weak ordinary person. As for the maid who was an ordinary person but did not act like an ordinary person at all, Pannis said thoughtfully: "Yes, Philata...... Already gone, I watched him age rapidly and then die. ”

"Sure enough, the master has returned to the depths of the river of time" The maid did not show sadness, but looked at Pannis's eyes very seriously and asked, "What about the master's corpse?

"I'm sorry, I can't. Pannis shook his head and said, "The rules of time have gone crazy against him, he has experienced aging and death in a few minutes, and then quickly withered and corrupted within a minute after death, just like after a thousand years." Eventually he was completely reduced to ashes, and no trace was to be found, so it was impossible for me to bring his body out again. ”

"And so it was. The maid seemed to have anticipated the current situation, and said calmly, "Anyway. Thank you, Master Pannis, for finally telling me this. ”

"Thank me?" Pannis raised an eyebrow and asked softly, "You want to thank me instead of Fira for dying at my hands?"

"I don't think so. The maid took it for granted. Answering with a rhetorical question: "Don't you think that if the master himself were talking to you now, he would also thank you? I guess you should also feel the master's gratitude to you." ”

"Oh, I do feel it. Pannis and Catherine exchanged glances with each other, and read the surprise and confusion in each other's gazes, Pannis chuckled and turned her gaze back and said, "It seems that Miss Maid knows more about Fira than we thought, how about it, aren't you going to introduce yourself in depth?"

"Well, in fact, I am indeed the head maid of Master Fira. After the maid finished speaking, she found that the few people in front of her were still staring at her silently. He pondered for a moment before continuing: "Okay, it's also the master's library key, and occasionally makes a cameo appearance as Felek's policy advisor, but my job is indeed a maid for big things. ”

"Library keys?, policy advisor?" Catherine repeated in a low voice, "Can you explain these two identities?"

"Absolutely. The maid lady said without concealment: "My reading speed and memory are far beyond normal people, so the master has taken me with me since I was a child, although I do not have the talent to become a professional, but with the permission of the master, I have almost read all the master's collection, although I can't memorize all the details of the book." But I can memorize the general content of each book, so that if the master has anything to consult, he will no longer have to rummage through the sea of books. I only need to tell me the general content I am looking for, and I can quickly select a few of the hundreds of thousands of books that contain this part of the content, so the master and his students have always regarded me as the key to the library. As for policy advisers, as the name suggests, the more books they read, the richer their knowledge of theoretical government affairs. Master Felek is a very qualified mage, but to be a qualified archon, you need advice from someone like me on some of the more difficult issues. ”

"Well, I think I know where you are. Catherine nodded and said slowly, "I really couldn't see that you actually occupy such a high position in the Camigara Collar before. ”

"That's because I'm just the master's maid. Miss Maid is very persistent about her identity, and repeats again: "The other identities are only part-time, and only the maid is the main job, so it will be difficult for you to see." ”

"So, in your capacity as a policy advisor, can you answer my question?" Catherine asked, "How can we avoid the turmoil in the Kamigara Territory after Master Fira's death?"

"Why is there turmoil?" the maid asked rhetorically, "After the master and Archon Felek left, there was naturally a successor who had arranged to take over the management of the territory, and everything would be smoothly handed over under the master's previous arrangement, how could there be such turmoil as you imagined?"

"It turns out that Master Fira has already arranged it. Catherine frowned, and the doubts about Fira's purpose became more and more serious in her heart, but she didn't show it, but continued to ask: "But what about the territory? The territory of the mage lord is not hereditary, and the territory will be split up after the death of Master Fira, won't it cause turmoil?"

"Miss Knight, oh no, Master Knight, you underestimate the Master's influence in the Mage Country, or rather, you don't understand the characteristics of the Mage Country, for the Mage Country, the relationship between the teacher and the student is often closer than the father-son relationship in the blood. Miss Maid shook her head and said: "The master has lived in the country of mages for more than a hundred years, and among the ninety-seven members of the Mage Council, more than one-third of the people still maintain a close master-apprentice relationship with him, more than half of the mages who once had a direct master-apprentice relationship, and even more than two-thirds of those who are indirectly linked by the master-apprentice relationship. So. Turmoil is not possible unless you are the ones who want to create it. But you really know how many of these mages from Master Fira's line are involved in the master's plan. How many people belong to the knowings and cooperatives, and how many people don't know at all? Hehe, except for the three masters who have passed away, I'm afraid not many people know about this kind of thing, even if you want to find out. If you want to create turmoil, can you really succeed?"

"What if Warrenson is the one who wants to do this?" Catherine asked, "if he wants to, he can force down the dissenting voices in the council." ”

"The lords are mages, master knights, and all of them are mages with floating islands and magic towers. That mage lady should understand, a legendary mage who is integrated with his magic tower, facing a demigod from afar in his own territory, although he will definitely fail in the end, but it is not without a fight, and the result will only be a large harvest of scorched earth. It doesn't make any sense. Miss Maid suddenly laughed, winked mysteriously at Catherine and asked, "And are you really so sure that in more than a hundred years, Master Phila has only taught one student like Master Victor?" ”

"Wait. Pannis suddenly interrupted Miss Maid, and said in a deep voice, "What did you just say, even if Phila is really dead?"

"Literally, Master, he's already following his plan. Returned to the depths of the river of time, and has since wandered outside of time, but is that really dead?" Miss Maid's smile was like a little fox stealing J's food. He took out a letter and a small package from his satchel and handed it to Pannis: "Actually, I don't know. By the way, the Master has a letter and a package for me to pass on to you after you leave the Magic Tower. The master explained to me that the package contained the potions and recipes that he had promised you as a second compensation, and that the letter contained the last words he wanted to say to you, and that you might understand after reading the letter. ”

"Letter?" the strange feeling in Pannis's heart grew stronger. He took the letter and opened it quickly. The notes on the letter are indeed Fira's, there are not many words on the letter, but every word is written very clearly, looking at Fira's neat and beautiful words that reveal the edges and corners, it seems that I saw the middle-aged mage in a black robe, with a proud sneer on his pale face, as if he heard the cold voice that always had a bit of mockery for the ignorant:" Time can be positive or reversible, the end is the starting point, only by looking back from the end, can we see the back scene, grasp the rules of the positive and negative sides, I try all kinds of ways to extend my time, but I can never peek into the secrets of the other side. I thought of this a few years ago, but I didn't have the courage to make up my mind to exhaust my time until I tried all the other ways, but your tracking made me decide in advance, so I must say to you, thank you, my only friend, don't grieve for me, maybe in the near future, across the river of time, we will meet again, but by then, I am afraid that both you and I will already meet in other capacities, in another wonderful space。 ”

"Is that ......," Catherine said incredulously, "Master Fira, he has really managed to break through the last line?"

"This letter was written by him in advance, and it was only his own thoughts, that he succeeded but we did not see the scene of the transfer or birth of the priesthood, and that there is no evidence that he failed" Looking at Fira's letter, Pannis was completely stunned, until Catherine's question was asked for a long time, and then replied like a dream: "So, the actual result, who knows? Miss maid, do you know?"

"I don't need to know, I just need to complete the task assigned by the master and wait slowly. With a professional smile, Miss Maid bowed to everyone and walked towards the Magic Tower. Almost at the same time as her, in the surrounding workshops and residences, there were also some mages of various strengths walking towards the magic tower together. In front of the gate of the magic tower, the maid turned her head and waved goodbye to everyone: "The master has wandered away from time, so, your question, hehe, who knows?" (To be continued.) )
