"Heh, it turns out that so many interesting things have happened on the continent of Yala over the years. Phila leaned back in the soft chair and listened to Pannis's rough account of the actions of the two organizations that had been discovered over the years, the expression on her face was very calm, and she didn't seem to have any special thoughts about these things, as if she had just heard an interesting story: "The sand of time, the sand of time, this name is also interesting, it represents the hourglass of time, and the fine sand that flows backwards with the repetition of the hourglass, these people are not small, it seems that they want to turn back time and start over." ”

"Turn back time?" Pannis just finished talking about the past, but he didn't expect Phila to immediately put forward an unexpected conjecture, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "You mean that they robbed other people's time in order to turn back time? And even if time can be turned back, so many creatures in the entire Yala world, if they want to turn back time, what a price they need to pay, and the time they plundered now can't be. ”

"What stupid thing are you thinking? Phila glared at Pannis weakly, shook her head and said: "The so-called time reversal is impossible, well, you just mentioned that their skills come from the gods, right, the problem is that even the gods themselves can't go back in time, otherwise in the god-killing war of the year, even if they lose, they can go back and fight again, and the final result must be that they win." So it can be seen from their defeat in the war that they will definitely not turn back time. ”

"But you just talked about going back in time. Pannis said helplessly: "Just because I also thought of the question you said, that's why I'm so surprised, why did it become a stupid thing for me to think about in the end, do you guys educate students like this? Tsk, it's so pitiful to be your student, I'm starting to sympathize with Felek and them now, no wonder they're so afraid of you being angry." ”

"Less nonsense, the student who does not use his brain is to educate. Fila sneered. Said slowly: "What I said about going back in time is not the same thing as what you think. You think that going back in time is for the whole world, so of course you can be afraid, I'm afraid that even the creation god Yara can't make the time of the whole world go backwards, otherwise at the end of the last era, he doesn't need to repair the continent, just go back in time. But the time reversal in my mouth is only for a certain individual, and it is not a reversal of time in the true sense, but a trace left by the reversal of time on the individual. ”

Catherine felt her head hurt. The knight girl even wondered if Master Fila was speaking a lingua franca, of course, the lingua franca was yes, she could understand every word, but when combined, she couldn't understand a word. Helplessly, she looked at Vivien for help, and found that Vivien was looking intent, her thick notebook spread out on her lap, as if she was about to record every word of Master Fira. The knight maiden sighed. Giving up the idea of asking Vivien for help, he turned his head and met the gaze of Pannis, and heard Pannis's voice saying to Fira, "That is. You think that those people in the sands of time are plundering the time of innocent people in order to reverse the physical effects of time on someone or some individuals, not in the real sense of the word? ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" said Fira, grumbling impatiently. But he replied, "That's what it means, people's bodies are constantly changing over time, and they rob time." It should be to fight against this change over time, in other words, to keep yourself young, to be young until you are at your best. ”

"Huh?" said Pannis, surprised, "Will it get younger and younger, and eventually become a baby or embryo?"

"Do you think the caster is an idiot?" the old mage couldn't help but roll his eyes at Pannis, and said, "How stupid does this spell have to have this effect?" Hmph, this kind of spell also needs skills, according to common sense, it should be a time that can be reversed, so that the body can recover to the best state, and the remaining time can be stored and used slowly, so that you can stay forever young, as long as there is still time to store, you will never grow old again, let alone die." ”

"Phew, I'm glad I came to you. Pannis sighed and said, "Otherwise, even if we want to break our heads, we can't imagine that there is such a magic that can be reversed in other people's time." ”

"Hmph, this is a very typical time magic in the First Age, in the past hundred years, I have seen all kinds of records about it in my research, and I have always thought that it has been completely hidden in time, but I didn't expect that there would be people in the intelligent creatures of the Fourth Age. The old mage snorted coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the fact that someone had more knowledge of time magic than himself: "But it's no wonder, if there are those gods standing behind them, it wouldn't be strange at all. After all, this kind of time magic is just an entertainment activity for the gods, and they have this kind of talent, and most of the gods who know a little time magic can master it, unlike us humans, who may not be able to learn it at all. However, because this kind of magic was so common to the gods, there were not many records of its contents, and it was eventually completely lost. ”

"It seems that you have known that there is such a magical being, and you should have come to you a long time ago. Pannis smiled bitterly: "However, why do you think most of the gods can do such dangerous magic? Even if the gods have an endless lifespan, no one wants someone to snatch what belongs to them." ”

"Do you really think that the people of God have an endless lifespan? Fila sneered, "Except for the gods who have perfect divine bodies, where can there be eternal life in the true sense. But then again, in a sense, they do have an infinite number of lives, but they are much more fragile than the gods. ”

"Something to do with time magic?" asked Pennis, tentatively, "but I've never heard of it." ”

"Ignorance, how many things have you just heard?" Fira seemed to be in better spirits, and her words became more and more coherent when she spoke:" The reason why those gods have an infinite lifespan is because they themselves have an extremely long lifespan, hundreds of thousands of years, and on the other hand, because time does not work on them at all, when they grow to a certain stage, they will be forever frozen in this period, and the passage of time can no longer affect them, so naturally they will never grow old again, nor will they die because of aging, but ordinary diseases and dangerous accidents will still kill them. Therefore, it is impossible for them to be robbed of time by others, because even time will not work, and time magic will naturally be invalid. ”

"Okay, okay, you calm down, don't get excited. Pannis soothed: "Although I don't really understand, but I have understood the general meaning, you first pant evenly." ”

"Whew, I think I'm a little too excited. Phila leaned back in her chair and gasped softly, "I am angry at the thought that I have spent half my life studying time magic, but these people have no effort to obtain knowledge from the gods that I have no access to. ”

"Our lives can't always be perfect. Pannis said, "There must be some regrets to be real." What's more, the people of the Sands of Time have mastered this knowledge because of the help of the gods, and if they only rely on themselves, they will definitely not be able to study this faster than you. ”

"I'm not jealous that they know more than I know. Fila was even more dissatisfied, and said indignantly: "I'm just angry, why I don't know this knowledge, as for who knows first and who knows later, it doesn't make any sense at all." ”

"Good, good, meaningless, meaningless. Pannis couldn't help laughing, feeling that Phila was like a child at this time, and some people said that the older people are, the more like children, it seems that what they said is true.

Fila gasped for a while, calmed down, no longer dwelled on the problem of time magic, and asked with a dry cough: "Okay, the story is over, let's get down to business, you came to me from the capital of knowledge, what important questions do you have to ask?"

"Because you know the most about this area, I originally prepared three questions. Pannis said: "The first question is whether the people of the Sands of Time are taking away time, but this question does not need to be asked again, you have just given a clear answer, they must have taken away time, right?" ”

"Yes, I can confirm it 100 percent. Fira's voice regained its original slowness and sluggishness: "What they collect is absolutely time. ”

Then there is no need to ask the second question again. "Originally, the second question was to ask you what their purpose might be, but you have given us the answer to this question, and they can use the time they have collected to fight against the effects of time on them, which is to regain their youth and vitality, and then never grow old." ”

"That's right. Phila nodded, "Immortality in disguise, that's what they're after." ”

"Knowing these two answers is enough. "The third question doesn't matter, we can slowly find the answer," Pannis said. ”

"Do you think I'm so old that I don't even have the ability to think?" Fila got angry instead, slapped the armrest of the chair and said angrily, "Don't you just want me to help you screen out suspicious objects? ”

"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry. Pannis helplessly coaxed Fira and said: "It's okay if I'm wrong, you guessed right, I originally wanted you to help me think about who the people behind the Sands of Time might be, and if there is any suspicious object." ”

"Yes. Fila stretched out her hand as usual and pointed to her nose tremblingly: "I am the most suspicious." (To be continued...... ）
