"What did you say?" Catherine felt a chill all over her body and said with a pale face: "This city is a magic circle. Do you want to plunder all the time in this city?"

"You guessed it." Victor still said calmly in a very unique and slow voice: "Collect a large amount of time and produce qualitative changes from quantitative change. This is a path we have found after years of research. Through this path, we can explore the secrets hidden in the depths of time, master the laws of time, so as to obtain divinity and take over the clergy of time. In this way, we have enough time to study endless unknowns, which is what all scholars dream of. However, not all people, those on the floating island, will not be affected, nor will the higher-level professions on the ground."

"It seems that Feila has indeed concealed some clues for you." Panis said with his eyes narrowed: "You may have learned a lot of experience in time magic from him, and also learned a lot of knowledge related to time. Otherwise, you would not have mastered the laws of time and would not have said such words."

"Teacher...had you concealed it for us?" Victor's eyes had feelings for the first time, and guilt flashed in his eyes, but in just a moment he returned to his original calmness, making it difficult not to think that it was just his own illusion. Victor smiled calmly as if nothing had happened and said, "That's right, among the teacher's years and so many students, I am the only one who has learned a lot of magic related to time. And I learned it from the teacher's notes. The teacher never taught us the magic of time, and only fumbled through his notes."

"Don't Phella teach you?" Panis asked in surprise: "Why?"

"The teacher said that mastering time magic has a price, and the price is too heavy." Victor sighed silently and said, "He will not teach us actively, but if we want to learn, he will not stop it. Now it seems that the teacher is right, and the price is indeed too heavy, but people you have not come into contact with cannot understand."

"Your teacher, Master Feila, is thinking about everything for you. What about you? You actually want to destroy his city?" Catherine said hatefully: "And have you ever thought about it? Your family and friends are living in the city. Do you want to take their lives together? How can you do it?"

"I have answered you this question just now." Ferek stood under the seat of the gods with his hands down, and said expressionlessly: "In order to peek at the mystery of time and seek knowledge, nothing cannot be sacrificed, including our family, and even ourselves. All the efforts at the cost are acceptable. As for the teacher... the teacher has been studying time magic for so many years, but he has not been able to see through the secret of time. I am afraid that it is because he can't bear to do such a thing. So, let us help him once and present this path to him. Maybe through our successful examples, the teacher can also solve the problems that have troubled him for many years. I think he will never blame us at that time."

"You are crazy." Catherine closed her eyes and shook her head, sighing, "Can you all pay for your own ***? This is already deviant from human nature."

"It's not for my own **," Ferek retorted: "This is an exploration of knowledge and has nothing to do with **."

"Career desire is also a kind of **." Catherine's voice became cold, and the expression on her face was cold like a piece of ice: "No matter how beautiful the language is used to decorate, it cannot cover up the fact that you want to commit endless killings for what you want to do. No matter how noble the goal is, it should not be based on depriving the innocent of life. No one is qualified to take away the innocent of life with his will, no matter what the reason is."

"If you are willing to think so, we will not stop it." Catherine's words caused Felek to fluctuate emotionally and he had the tendency to continue to refute, but Victor still maintained his original calm and said: "We are mages, scholars, not knights. We will not consider right or wrong, good or evil. As long as it is beneficial to our research, it is enough. Even if we use ourselves to make test materials, we will not hesitate. I think the two mage ladies around you will definitely understand it."

"We understand your ideas, but we don't agree with them." Vivian and Freya looked at each other and nodded in conjunction. Vivian said, "Yes, we are mages, but we are first one, and then we are mages. Since we are first one, we must be human, rather than just like a metal puppet, doing things based on logical judgments. Therefore, the pursuit of knowledge is not the reason for you to lose humanity. Even in order to pursue knowledge, we must have the most basic view of right and wrong, and pursue it in the right way, rather than using this kind of killing as a means."

"It seems that this is the difference between us." Victor nodded and said slowly: "No wonder, the ideas of the Tower Mage and the Dome Mage have always been different, which is understandable. However, this topic is over. You can't convince us. Of course, we can't convince you. If you continue to get entangled, it doesn't make any sense. It's just a waste of time. We don't like to waste time. I think you are not willing to waste time on such unnecessary arguments now. You should be anxious about it. So, are there any other problems?"

"Of course there is." Panis said: "Your knowledge of time magic is seen from Phila's notes. So what about this magic array? Did you find it from his notes?"

"Of course not, Mr. Kyle, why would you ask such a question?" Victor asked back: "Judging by the information we have obtained, you should have known the answer long ago. Is it necessary to ask again?"

"Of course it's necessary." Panis said seriously: "The answer you guessed can only be considered a guess and needs to be verified from you. Since you said just now, let us ask questions and will not refuse to answer this question."

"Oh, of course not. There is no need to refuse at all. In all senses, there is no need to." Victor said slowly: "As you guessed, the magic circles I obtained from the three revived gods who claimed to be the Three Eyes Clan, and some of the knowledge I also obtained from them. Those three Eyes Clans, you should call them...why?"

"Subordinates of God," said Panis: "They are servants of Danakus, and they call themselves God."

"Oh, by the way, it's God's servants, they told me once." Victor nodded slowly and said, "I learned these from them. Although I once mentioned them implicitly to the teacher, the teacher did not question our behavior, but refused to accept this knowledge. It was from that time that we finally realized that the teacher was really old, so old that he had lost his desire for knowledge."

"It seems that Feila is really old." Panis actually agreed with Victor's statement and nodded: "If he was young, he would never refuse this knowledge. Even if he knew that this knowledge was learned from those people, he would not refuse."

"Mr. Kyle, you know the teacher very well." A smile appeared on Victor's face, which had almost never appeared before, and nodded, "If the teacher would never have done this decades ago, we were all sad."

"Can you tell me in detail about the knowledge you have obtained from the servants of God?" Panis asked, "I think this question is irrelevant to you regardless of the final outcome between us."

"The answer is OK, but I think you may be disappointed." Victor regained his chin position and recalled for a moment before answering: "Because I don't know much about them. About ten years ago, the three three-eyed tribes came to me. At that time, my health was already very poor, just like the teacher is now. The three of them said that there is a way to regain my vitality and even become young again, and that I can leave me a lot of time for reference in magic knowledge, asking me if I am willing to accept it. Of course I accepted it. Even if I die, it is a blessing to die after being able to obtain new knowledge, so I agreed to their request."

"Such important knowledge will never be given to you for free." Panis asked, "Do they have any requirements?"

"Of course it won't be free." Victor replied: "They hoped that I would help them set up a teleportation array system in the central Yara continent, which would allow them to flexibly travel across various parts of the mainland."

"Is the teleportation array in the Sewer System of the City of Innocence?" Panis said thoughtfully: "No wonder you have so close cooperation. It turns out that it has been going on for more than ten years."

"Well, I remember that some of them are in the City of Innocence." Victor nodded, "But I rarely left the lab later, nor did I use that system, and I a little forgotten."

"So you agreed?" asked Penis. "Didn't ask about the purpose of their doing this?"

"I'm just a researcher," Victor said. "As long as it doesn't affect my research, what does their purpose have to do with me?"

"Okay, I get it." Panis sighed and nodded, "What about?"

"Then?" Victor was stunned, frowned and recalled for a while, "Then there were some common cooperation. Sometimes they would provide me with some experimental materials, but I, no, should I call us. We would provide them with some other help, such as helping them cover up, and passing through the internal transmission system at will in Butt, and sometimes they would also transport some more important items."
