"Daddy, Daddy. When Felek's hand just pressed on the door of the restaurant, the door of the restaurant was suddenly opened from the inside, and two children who looked only about ten years old and a little more than a meter tall ran out of the restaurant, one left and one right grabbed the hems on both sides of Felek's robe, these two very cute children, a man and a woman, looked very similar to Felek, the only difference was that they were not so strict, but there was a little more naughty charm in their expressions. The two children don't seem to have done anything good in the restaurant, even after treatment, you can still see the oil stains on the corners of their mouths, it is obvious that part of the food originally prepared for representatives from all walks of life in the kitchen of the restaurant has been tragically poisoned by them, as for how to deal with the traces left on their bodies after the crime, it can be imagined from the oil stains on their cuffs. Of course, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of punishment the mother will receive when the two children return home.

"Why are you here?" Velek was stunned, bent down and stroked the top of the two children's heads, and asked, "How long have you been here? Why haven't I met you at the door?"

"It's raining hard. The boy glanced curiously at the seven people on the side, and said loudly, "Mom, let us ask you if you want to go home for dinner at noon, and you can't go out in the afternoon." ”

"So you came here to steal food?" Felek gently patted the two children on the head a few times as a punishment, and then rubbed their hair dotingly and said: "While it's still raining, go back early, and tell Mom that Dad has guests today, so he won't go back, you can eat first, don't wait for me." ”

"Okay, Dad. The little girl answered crisply with her head in her hands, took her brother by the hand that ran away from her father, and stuck out her tongue at the members of the adventure group as she left. I didn't forget to shout to my father: "Dad, you have to go back early, you promised your mother yesterday that in order to make up for the debt that you haven't been home a few days ago, you have to go home for a few days." ”

"Got it, you two pestering little ones. Felek shook his head with a wry smile, straightened up and sighed, "I'm sorry for a few people." They are two children in my family, and they have not done a good job in education since they were young, and they don't know how to be polite at all, so they let you see jokes. ”

"No, it's cute. Catherine's expression softened a lot, and she said with a smile: "I can see that they love you very much, and they also regard you as their pride, and they are two very good children." ”

"Huh. Thanks for the compliment. Felek smiled, and his satisfaction with the two children could be seen in his smile: "Ah, I'm really sorry to be disturbed by the two of them, I forgot to invite you in, let's come in and sit down, no matter what happens, let's have a simple lunch first." Then I'll take you to a place, a place you want to go the most on this trip. ”

"You don't have to have lunch. The soft smile on Catherine's face slowly retracted. Narrowing his eyes like Pannis, he said, "Why don't you go straight to where you said?"

"It's okay, it's better to take it easy. Felek thought for a moment and nodded, "Recently, there has always been an urge not to let myself live so tired anymore. However, over the years of being an archon, some things have become an instinct, and even if you want to make it easier for yourself, you don't know how to do it. Hehe, that's a kind of irony. Everybody, come with me, the destination is in the depths of the town hall, and you will be there in no time. ”

"Since you want to make it easier for yourself, why do you have to do some superfluous things? It's your own choice, and if you don't bear some things, you won't be bent over by the burden, you won't understand this truth. Pannis followed behind Catherine, hung her head and asked, "So, if you don't do those things, you won't be as tired as you are now, why do you have to do it, aren't you afraid that Phila will be sad when she finds out?"

"Teacher, hehe, teacher, doesn't he really know? I don't know either. Felek chuckled and shook his head, "But what I know is that the teacher is too old to lose his enthusiasm for knowledge and magic, and he is still respected by us, but I know very well that he can no longer lead us all the way to conquer the unknown ocean and turn the unknown into the known." Therefore, what we need to do is to leave the protection of the teacher's wings and use our own strength to pursue the path of seeking knowledge, and we can pay a price for seeking knowledge. ”

"Even the lives of innocents?" Catherine asked, frowning, "Can it be paid as a price?"

"You've finally asked. Felek sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, you are much more patient than I thought, I thought you would ask this question from the beginning of the meeting, but I didn't expect that you can endure until now, hehe, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such a good patience to endure." ”

"You've surprised us too. Catherine said-for-tat: "Before, Pannis said that there is no need to be in such a hurry, you will definitely wait for us here, we still don't believe it, I didn't expect you to really meet us at the gate." ”

"Hehe, the Tower Mage who pursues efficiency never does anything that doesn't make sense. Felek said calmly: "There is no difference in the result of doing other things and meeting you here, so why should I choose to do those useless things." And before it came to an end, no one would know if it would be the best choice for me to stand here and wait, hehe, are you right, Miss Catherine?"

"Oh, that's right. Catherine nodded and said: "The hole cards have not been opened, the winner or loss has not been determined, and it is still too early to confirm the next qiē." But can you answer my question? Can you pay a price for the pursuit of knowledge, including the lives of the innocent? Don't you feel a little guilty about the innocent who died?"

"Of course, even if the price is the lives of innocent people. Felek replied as a matter of course: "For the sake of the exploration of knowledge, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, this is the price of seeking knowledge, why should I feel guilty." ”

"Have you thought about it?" asked Catherine softly, "what would it be like for you to be sacrificed by those two lovely children just now?

"As I said, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. Felek seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, and there was no fluctuation in his expression, and he said calmly: "In the face of the exploration of knowledge, no one is special, including you and me, including them. ”

Catherine's face became ugly for a moment, she never thought that as a father, Felek would actually give such an answer, and she could completely see that the consul in front of her was not just casually perfunctory, just talking, what he said was completely his true thoughts, without any concealment. In other words, his heart is extremely firm, and if he needs to, he can really sacrifice his two children with his own hands without hesitation. The knight girl took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart, instinctively avoided this unpleasant question, and said in a deep voice: "So you led those tragedies for your own purposes?"

"Oh, not for my purposes, to be exact, but for 'our' purposes. Felek chuckled and said: "However, you have a little misunderstanding, although all the real yàn are planned by me, but I am only the mastermind, not the leader, the real leader is someone else, and he is also waiting for you." ”

"Is that the place you're taking us to?" asked Catherine, "is he waiting for us there?"

"Of course. Felek nodded, "Since you have successfully found this place, as a reward, how can I not take you to meet him." Whether it's him or me, we think it's time to face it for the last time, so we're already waiting for you when you're still ten kilometers away from the city. ”

"The man waiting for us is called Victor. Pannis said, "Another student that Phila once mentioned, your senior, the one who was rumored to have died five years ago. In fact, he is not dead, because he can't do time magic, he can't prolong his life like Fira, so he has to use this means to plunder the life of others to extend himself, right? For what the two of you have done, in fact, Fira is also aware of it, but in order to protect you, he deliberately used some seemingly reasonable language to make us deviate from the direction, heh, this is not like his previous character, it seems that he is getting older, and his heart has become softer. And you are more thorough, and want to lead us directly out of the Butt Plateau, but I wonder why we have to leave at this time, because of what plan you want to implement?"

"Victor, Victor, I haven't called my brother like that for years, and I almost forgot what his name was. Felek ignored Pannis's question, just muttered the name twice, and said with a low smile: "That's right, it's him, come with me, you will know what Yiqiē wants to know, how about it, do you want to come? ”

"What do you say?" Catherine's smile became dangerous, and she said meaningfully, "No wonder you just told the children that you don't have to wait for you anymore, instead of saying that you don't have to wait for you today, it seems that you are also mentally prepared." ”

"On the contrary, I told them that I want to spend more time with them these days. Felek was not moved at all, and said with a relaxed face: "So, I have full confidence that I will go back tonight and continue to be a good father." ”

"Then let the facts do the talking. Pannis patted Catherine on the shoulder, Catherine nodded, no longer continuing her mental offensive, and tightened her hand holding the shield: "Please lead the way, thank you." (To be continued.) )

ps: Today is a special day, hey, hey, hey, there are some activities at night, I'm afraid there is no time to code, so I'm hesitating now, whether to ask you for a leave tomorrow. In this way, if there is no update tomorrow, it will be said that I have asked for leave in advance, and if it is updated, it means that I wrote it out in time, just as I didn't say it today.
