Chapter 66 Close cooperation between the two organizations
"Hiss, it seems that you haven't told me about something. Alcmene slapped Pennis with his tail a few times to express his displeasure: "Do you know who Jack is talking about?
"Well, I didn't mean not to tell you, but at first I didn't think the two things were closely related, so I didn't mention it. Pannis scratched his head and explained embarrassedly: "It's an organization called the Sands of Time, and most of the members we know now are mages, who are causing tragedies everywhere, using magic arrays to kill a lot of people, and all the people who are killed are in a state, that is, they become extremely old, and then their organs fail to die of the whole body, which is commonly known as old death." Judging by some of the information given to us by the Sea Clan, their purpose is to steal the time of these people, collect the victim's time and don't know what to do. ”
"Hiss, collecting time?" Alcmene forgot to shake his tail and asked suspiciously, "Can that kind of thing also be collected?" Hiss, this completely abstract and non-physical concept cannot be taken away by anyone. ”
"That's what I used to think. Pannis shook his head and said, "However, the magic circle they use is of the same origin as the magic circle used by the gods, and according to the current situation, it should be taught to them by the few remaining half-dead people of the Three-Eyed Clan of the Divine Servant." ”
"Hiss, you mean the time and space magic of the gods?" Alcmene scribbled on the table with her sharp claws, which seemed to be a habit she had developed when she was thinking*, and the table was already covered with scratches, but she didn't feel it at all, and thought about it and said, "It makes sense, hiss, it's true that the gods are good at time magic, if those people, what are they called?" hiss. Yes, the Sands of Time, if those people of the Sands of Time really learned the relevant knowledge from the half-dead of the gods, it is not impossible. Hiss, but seriously, I really can't understand how you can steal someone's time from him. Hiss, and what you just said about the appearance of those victims is also difficult to understand, hiss, a good person, after being attacked by the magic array, directly becomes old to the point of dying? Unlikely, hiss, that kind of process is really unimaginable, is it getting older and older at a speed that is visible to the naked eye? No, I can't think of that scenario. ”
"Actually, I can't imagine it. Pannis smiled bitterly and sighed, "I didn't even think it was knowledge that belonged to the mortal realm, but they did it. Although we have not witnessed the process of their spells, the victims have seen many of them. Especially in the two places around Spindle Village and the villages around Dilsalen, thousands of people died like this, and all of them were dead alive, and you have not seen it, it is difficult to understand the shock. So I have to believe that someone can do this kind of thing. However, for the news from Doris's side. In other words, they are stealing time, and I still have some doubts in my heart, and as you said, I don't understand what the so-called stealing of their time is, so I can't be sure if they are stealing time. ”
"Looks like you're going to have to make a trip to Fira. Sizzle. Alcmene's yellow-green vertical pupils shone brightly: "Hasn't he been studying time magic for the past hundred years, hiss, and can actually use time magic to change the effect of time on him, forcibly allowing himself to live for a few more decades, hiss." I think it's a good thing to ask him for something to do with time magic. ”
"That's what I thought about when it first came out. Pannis said helplessly: "But Christo told me at the time that Fila was too weak to get out of bed, and it was really inappropriate for me to consult him about these problems at this time." ”
"It's not so exaggerated that you can't get out of bed, hiss. Alcmene shook his head and said, "I saw him once a few years ago, and his apprentice brought him to me for a follow-up, hiss, at that time he could walk a few steps slowly with the support of the apprentice, of course, it must not be far, hiss, he was panting after walking around my room, and it took twenty minutes." ”
"And what about his mental state?" asked Pannis, "can he still stay awake?"
"Hiss, the mental state is good, the mind is very clear, hiss, and there is nothing wrong with the logic of speaking. Alcmene said: "It's just very easy to get tired, hiss, and talk a little slurred after a long time." And this is still on the basis of continuous medication, hiss, if you stop taking medicine one day, I am afraid that you will soon not be able to be as awake as you are now. So, hiss, if you still want to ask him for more information about time magic, you have to do your best, hiss, if you drag it out any longer, I'm not sure if he will have a chance to help you answer your questions, and then you will miss the matter. ”
Alcmene's words sounded cold, but they were nothing more than the lizardmen's natural bluntness, and Pannis knew that she was not wrong at all. Originally, Pannis thought that the Servant of God and the Sands of Time only had a temporary partnership in the City of Innocence, after all, the members of the Sands of Time were all living and were unlikely to work too closely with the dead, but Jack's message shattered his illusions and brought the relationship closer together. Obviously, the half-dead of the Divine Servants knew that they could not quietly enter the Whispering Swamp, so they entrusted this matter to the members of the Sands of Time, since the half-dead could even leave things like divine blood to the people of the Sands of Time to deal with, it was enough to show that the cooperation between the two sides had reached a very close point, and they could no longer be separated. If you want to deal with the plan of the half-dead who don't know the contents, you must also take the Sands of Time into account, so figuring out the hidden methods of the Sands of Time has become a major event that can affect the safety of the entire Yara world, and he can't afford to hesitate anymore for fear of burdening his old friends.
"Whew, I understand. Pannis sighed deeply and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Originally, I was going to visit him this time, but now it seems that I have to trouble him a little more, I hope it won't bring him too much burden." I just sent off the goblins a few months ago, and I don't want to watch another friend leave so soon. ”
"If you just ask him to answer some questions or judge some situations, hiss, it shouldn't be a big problem. Alcmene said: "As long as you don't let him accompany you to fight, hiss, your worries will not come true, don't worry." ”
"Hopefully it's like you said. Pannis, however, was not so confident: "If it was because of me that his death was haste...... Oh, forget it, I have to go no matter what, so let's do it, let's go according to the original plan, and we will leave in two days. (To be continued...... )
