Chapter 127: The Price of Time Magic

"yes, it doesn't make any sense to me to do that way, even though I live twice as long as everyone else, but I can do as much as everyone else, and it's twice as slow as everyone else. ± the top of the novel," Phila nodded and replied, "So, you're right, I'm not going to accept this kind of outcome, and it's better to die early than to live like that." ”

"Not only that, but you may not be able to do as much as others, maybe less than others. Pannis added: "I can see from Victor that time magic also needs to be paid, and if you want to control time, you have to pay equal or even more time as a price, and if you think about it, it makes sense." ”

"That's true. Fila said: "But except for me, no one understood time magic at that time, so even if it is a clumsy lie, as long as there is no major problem with the basic logic, it is difficult for anyone to see through it, even if some sensitive people like you will have doubts, because of my strength and prestige, in the end I will only think that I am wrong, and I will not doubt the truth of this matter, because of this, this lie can deceive the whole world." ”

"Well, they're just like me, and they've never doubted it. Pannis nodded, "It wasn't until an hour ago that I became suspicious of you because of what I saw from Victor." Once I started to doubt, I completely understood, I was definitely not wrong, because ten days ago, you had clearly told me, the main messenger behind the scenes was you, and your two students, but I was too stupid, I always thought you were joking, and took the initiative to find a reason to help you excuse you. Heh, I don't want to think about it, we've known each other for so many years, when did you ever joke when we were in contact with each other?"

"Actually, that's a joke in itself. A sneering smile appeared on Fira's face: "Actually, I never lie, you ask me who is behind the scenes." I didn't lie, someone asked me why I age much slower than others, I didn't lie either, I answered honestly at that time, it was relying on time magic, and then those people naturally took the initiative to help me find a reason, saying that I slowed down my time, and what I needed to do, as long as I didn't deny it, let the wrong conclusion be fermented by time. It is enough to grow into a true lie. ”

"So, since many years ago, you've relied on plundering other people's time to offset the effects of time on you?" "Pannis and Phila sat opposite each other, as if they had been resting in the middle of an adventure more than a hundred years ago, and there was not a hint of anger between them, as if they were talking about nothing about the lives and deaths of countless people, but just about what to eat at night: "But why didn't anyone find out at that time? I've checked the databases of several guilds, and I've never found anything like it. ”

"Because the frequency of plundering was low back then. Fila explained with a natural expression: "At that time, the reality of time magic had not yet progressed to the present level. To get time from others, it only needs to be used to extend my own life, to counteract the consumption of using time magic, and to use a small amount of time. Therefore, it would be nice to have less than ten victims at most per year, and Yara is the size of the world. If you want to let ten people disappear completely within a year without leaving a trace, it is not a particularly difficult thing for a mage, as long as you are careful, it is impossible to leave a trace. ”

"Ten victims?" Pannis raised an eyebrow. Puzzled, he asked: "If the ten victims choose young people, it will be able to snatch hundreds of years." Does it take that much consumption?"

"Not so much, in fact, the effect of this magic circle is actually very poor, even if it has been improved by me, but it is still very poor, a person who can live for fifty years, after plundering and transforming, can be actually used for a maximum of one-tenth of the time, and the ten sacrifices combined, can only provide me with no more than fifty years. Phila shook her head and said, "And on my side, the cost of using time magic is also very large, just like the few minutes you saw just now, do you know how much time I consumed?"

"One day?" Pannis tried to guess in an exaggerated direction, but seeing the disdainful expression on Fira's face, he could only try to guess more: "Is it more than that?"

"Four months. Phila held up four fingers and said calmly, "One hundred and thirty-two days, a full four months." ”

"Are you crazy?" Pannis asked with a strange expression, "What kind of time magic is this, this is simply suicide magic, it takes four months to use it for a few minutes, how many times is it enough for human beings to live for decades?"

"Don't forget what I said before, the lifespan of the Three-Eyed Clan is endless, time has no meaning to them, and time magic is actually magic that belongs to them alone, not to humans, and if I want to use it forcibly, I will naturally have to pay an amazing price. Fila explained with a calm expression, "And you are a little misunderstood, it is not from the beginning, the price is so great, and not all forms of time magic are so costly. Initially, about a hundred years ago, more than ten years after the end of the war, I finally mastered some small time magic, although there was still a price, but the cost was very small, almost negligible, so I didn't particularly care, but when I succeeded in splitting time for the first time, and let me appear in different positions and different states at the same time, as you just saw, I used guò several times for a long time, and found that the price paid had reached two to one, that is, for every minute I maintained, I was on the basis of losing this minuteand lose two more minutes. ”

"That's an exaggeration. Pannis sighed and said, "However, isn't it okay to seal this magic away from use at this time? Why do you want to continue researching? Well, I'm talking nonsense again, how can you resist studying such unknown and mysterious knowledge in front of you." ”

"Haha, it's still an old friend who understands me. Fila laughed heartily: "Knowing that such knowledge and magic are there waiting for me to explore, I can't hold back, it's already instinctive, just like if these things I do are put in front of you and Nelly, you can't stop me in the first place, it's determined by our nature." ”

"Yes, it's a predestined choice from the start, and no one can stop it. Pannis's eyes narrowed slowly, and he said thoughtfully, "So, you still haven't held back?" (To be continued.) )

ps: I regret writing more and more about time magic, this thing will make the author dizzy alive, and the more I think about it, the more annoying I become. No more than 2,000 words, Monday will be normal.
