Chapter 1502: Chapter 288 He Saw It

“What signs?” Nellie asked in confusion, “Is there sothing wrong with him?”

“He’s never been normal.” Even if it earned him a few hits from Nellie, who couldn’t help but laugh and cry, Pannis would never change his mind, “It’s that research on ti that fried his brain. So, you see, being like you isn’t so bad—it’s definitely safer, and you won’t end up like him.”

“You’re saying I’m brainless, I might as well beat you to death.” Nellie hit him even harder, until Pannis grabbed her hands and hugged her to stop the beating on his thigh, “Then I t Philarx, and that guy still looks so young, I’m actually a bit jealous that he doesn’t age at all. It’s the kind of thing that would drive any woman crazy with envy. But thinking about the innocent people he sacrificed to get that benefit just makes sick.”

“Hey, soone with a body nearly immortal talking about envying others for not aging, does that really suit you?” Pannis twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling unable to keep up with Nellie’s logic, and complained with a headache, “Do you won just abandon all reason when you co across these things?”

“Reason? What’s that?” Nellie looked genuinely baffled, “Does such a thing even exist in the world?”

“Stop kidding, I admit my mistake, alright?” Pannis sighed helplessly, hanging his head, “I shouldn’t have said you were brainless, nor should I have said you lost your reason. I was wrong, forgive .”

“Hmph, you’ve got so sense, alright, I’ll forgive you one last ti.” Repeating the phrase she had said countless tis in her life, Nellie continued recalling, “Philarx indeed knew about my existence, and even knew that I myself was controlling the skeleton. I was really surprised then, his perception in this matter is much worse than yours. In theory, he couldn’t possibly sense my presence. Even you, without a prior hint, might only notice sothing strange, but couldn’t be sure it was , right?”

“Don’t joke, how could I not be sure? After suspecting sothing odd, just a few actions from you and I would’ve figured out it was you.” Pannis grinned, “But Philarx definitely doesn’t have that capability. If he did, I really would have to beat him up, hmm, so… he probably said he saw it with his own eyes, right?”

“You truly are his only friend, the mutual understanding makes a bit jealous.” Whatever image ford in Nellie’s mind made her cover her mouth and giggle, until Pannis’s expression grew more nacing and the knight cleared her throat, speaking seriously, “You guessed right, that’s exactly what he said. I was so surprised then that I couldn’t focus on the main issue first and blurted out that question.”

“No, it’s not that you couldn’t focus on it, you probably just don’t have a concept of ‘important issues’ at all.” Thinking of his girlfriend’s often helpless character, Pannis couldn’t help but sigh, “What did the little lion say back then? Won naturally like… forgot the word, anyway, that was about you.”

“Hehe, I know, but it really grabs my attention, doesn’t it?” Nellie wasn’t bothered at all; instead, her eyes sparkled excitedly as she spoke, “In the end, he didn’t want to tell , always changing the subject. You know how our relationship has always been a bit strained, often fighting over how to do things. It was the sa that day; we almost argued a few tis. But in the end, I won, hehe, I kept pressing him till he really had no choice but to tell why.”

In reality, although they said that this issue wasn’t the main point, both were clear in their hearts that it was very important. Only by understanding why Philarx knew of Nellie’s existence could the knight dare to trust him. However, this also ant that Nellie had exposed her presence without confirming whether it was a trap. Of course, this was a compelled choice since circumstances didn’t allow Nellie to slowly test things out. With Philarx’s intelligence, even if she tried to test him, it probably wouldn’t fool him. So, Nellie ultimately chose to take the risk, but afraid that Pannis might reproach her, she intentionally made it sound like she was rely indulging her own curiosity. Pannis, who knew his lover’s little cunningness, of course wouldn’t unsympathetically break her facade, hence played along and said, “I think it must be because of the Ti magic, right?”

“Yes, he finally was forced to tell that he had made so progress in his research on ti, and could use the River of Ti to peer through the fog and glimpse so Fragnts of the Future.” Nellie appeared confused, obviously troubled by Philarx’s manner of speaking, “He said that in nurous Fragnts of the Future, he saw observing him through the statue of Danacus, and also saw sitting with him in the Mage Tower, hearing parts of our conversation. He hadn’t planned to visit the Temple of Danacus again, but after he saw those fragnts, he deliberately changed his schedule and went there to find .”

“I guessed it,” Pannis said with a wry smile, “If what he said is true, then did his actions create the future he saw, or did the future he saw lead to his actions? I think if I could figure that out, I’d probably be close to madness too; isn’t that what happened to him? Hmm, did he say anything else strange, like suddenly cursing at , calling the mad one?”

“No, not at all.” Nellie was startled by Pannis’s question, blinking in confusion, “Why would you suddenly ask that? Why would he curse you without reason?”

“That’s good to hear, it seems he hadn’t reached the level he would in a few years, not as frightening as now,” Pannis sighed with relief and waved his hand, “Never mind, just a crazy man’s potential actions, forget I asked. So, after he told you the reason, did you tell him all about your plan?”

“Of course not,” Nellie shook her head, “Apart from you, I couldn’t possibly tell anyone else the plan without reservations. To Philarx, I only ntioned a very small part. I told him about my current situation and also explained that I was still continuing the fight with Danacus, and that the battle had reached its critical stage, urgently needing soone’s assistance. So, I hoped he could help bring you back. My original plan was to casually issue a task pointing to the lower layers of the Crying Cave to lure Catherine and the others over there, but Philarx thought about it and helped perfect the plan even more.”
