When they saw the gate of several people, everyone already had a hunch that there would be a huge space behind the gate, but they never thought that this space was actually a huge temple, dozens of towering pillars were arranged on both sides of the temple, and at the top of each column, there was a fluorescent flame circling, illuminating the entire temple, so that everything could be seen clearly. The temple was empty, almost no one existed, only at the top of the high stone platform at the end of the temple, a young black-robed mage was quietly waiting for a few people to arrive.

The black-robed mage was pale and thin, the hood of the robe was not worn, his long hair was draped over his shoulders, and his young face did not even have a beard. However, no one would mistake this person for being really young, and just from the gesture of his limbs, you could feel that this was already a dying old man.

In the middle of the stone platform was an hourglass-shaped throne, and the young old man sat upright on the throne, his right elbow supporting the armrest of the throne, his right hand clenched into a fist against his chin, hanging his head as if he was thinking, and he didn't even let him raise his head when the door opened. Although the young old man only sat quietly, he felt full of majesty, and he sat on the throne as if he was being bowed by everyone below.

"Brother, sir. Without paying attention to the seven men he had brought, Felek walked briskly to the bottom of the stone platform, bent down deeply, and said in a respectful and somewhat fanatical tone, "In accordance with your oracle, I have brought them before your throne. ”

"Good. The voice of the man on the throne was slow and loud, and the long voice of the man continued to echo in the empty temple: "Everyone, welcome to my temple, welcome to my world. I'm sorry, but I haven't really lit the fire of God and become a god, so I can't welcome you to the Kingdom of God, so I hope you don't mind. I know very well what you are here for, and I know that you must have a lot of questions that you want to figure out, and that's okay, until we really settle those disputes between us. We are still in a state of peace, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I will try to answer them for you. ”

Catherine opened her mouth, only to find that she didn't know what to ask. In the past two years, his party has been chasing this evil organization, and for the sake of justice, they do not want to destroy this organization, especially their leader. So that they can no longer plunder the lives of others for their own benefit. However, when it really came to the last step, the knight girl found that she had too many questions in her heart, so she didn't know where to start asking, and the girl could only grit her teeth and clench the knight's sword in her hand to calm her heart.

Fortunately, there is also Pannis, who has seen such things too many times, when he was with Nelly before, he was also an upright knight, and he was also a girl with justice in her heart. In many ways, their weaknesses are the same, such as this situation, so Pannis naturally stepped forward, stood in front of Catherine, looked directly at the mage on the throne and asked, "You are Victor Fira's most satisfactory student, theoretically the demigod mage Victor who died of illness five years ago?"

"It seems that you have already guessed it, and yes, since you can find Felek, you can naturally guess my identity. Victor remained in the same position, only raising his eyelids and scanning Pannis's face with an indifferent gaze. Said slowly: "Yes, I am what you refer to, the former demigod mage Victor. ”

"Ever?" Pannis asked, raising an eyebrow, "if you were once Victor." And now?"

"Now I'm still Victor. Victor held his chin and said calmly: "However, he has become a quasi-god Victor who has broken away from the mortal boundary and is about to become the first quasi-god to obtain the priesthood of time." ”

"But it hasn't worked out yet, has it?" Pennis sneered, "I'm afraid your so-called identity change has a lot to do with your plans." Or do you want to rely on your own plan to achieve what you say you wanted?"

"Do you know what we're planning?" Victor seemed to finally get interested, and straightened up to look at Pannis, his young eyes showing an old cloudiness, "Looks like you know a lot." ”

"Unfortunately, I don't know. Pannis shrugged and said, "But your actions speak for themselves. It can be seen from the fact that you have caused a tragedy on the border of the Neutral Lands just to lure us out of Bout, that you must have some secret plan, and that you are about to carry it out, so you are afraid that we will find out if we stay here, so you do not hesitate to risk being discovered by us to induce us, I guess right. And from what you just said, it is easy to guess that you think that you are about to obtain the priesthood, and you want to rely on this plan to make it happen. However, I don't think you're sure if this plan will achieve your goals, so that's why you've been putting it off until now, right?"

"There is no previous experience to learn from in the exploration of time knowledge. Victor was not at all surprised by Pannis's speculation, and calmly replied: "No one can guarantee that the experiment will be successful, so as long as there is a good chance of success, it is worth the price to try." ”

"Even if the price is to sacrifice countless lives for this?" Catherine sneered at the interjection, "And you have robbed countless people of their time, it seems that it is just to prolong your life, and it seems that it has nothing to do with your experiments." ”

"No, you're getting two things wrong. Victor said: "First, I am the leader, only if I live, the experiment can be carried out, and prolonging my life is directly related to the experiment." Second, in fact, plundering life is a part of the experiment, and the act itself is closely related to the experiment, and even inseparable. Therefore, as long as the plan can go smoothly, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing one's life for the sake of knowledge, which is the honor of those who sacrificed. ”

"This is based on the willingness of the victims. Catherine retorted loudly, "Forcing those people to sacrifice for your purposes against their will is nothing but slaughter." ”

"Bang", Pannis turned around and patted Catherine on the shoulder, so that the girl calmed down, and then said expressionlessly: "So, can you tell me what your plan is?"

"There's no need to hide it now, anyway, there will be a settlement in the end. Victor said without concealment: "Actually, our plan is very simple, this city is now a huge magic circle, as for what magic circle, you should be able to guess it, hehe." (To be continued.) )
