So, Catherine also became expressionless, looked at Vivian, who was also dull, and leaned over to Panis's back and coughed dryly, and asked gently, "Dear Mr. Panis, what is this?"

"The information I took down from above." Panis looked through the stack of paper in his hand and replied casually: "I just thought that since Freya's mechanical spider would not trigger the trap when he went up, he simply asked her to carry all the paper items down little by little with the mechanical spider. Sure enough, there was a lot of information."

"So, my dear Mr. Pennis." Catherine's smile was sweet and her tone was even gentler: "Why didn't Catherine and the others know about this?"

"I saw that they were very happy to discuss who went up seriously, so I didn't bother them. Hahaha, when they reacted, their faces would be very wonderful, and it would be funny to think about it, hahahaha." Panis's energy was still focused on the paper in his hand, and he didn't speak through his brain at all, but the next moment, his body suddenly became stiff, cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, swallowed heavily, and said in a dry voice: "That, actually, I was talking nonsense just now. I just tried it, right, experimented, and didn't think it would be successful, so I didn't tell them. Who knew it was really successful, um, that's it. Really, believe me, I absolutely didn't want to see a joke."

"Of course, I've always believed in you." Catherine's tone was so gentle that it almost dripped out of water, and even the sound of drawing the sword was so gentle: "So I really won't be angry, I promise."

"I don't believe it." Panis stuffed the paper in his hand into Catherine's hand behind him. Taking advantage of the moment Catherine took it, the man had already escaped from afar, hid behind Moore, poked his head out and said, "I want me to believe that you put away your weapon first."

"Hmph, the matter is important, I will settle the score with you when I get home." Catherine gave Panis a blank look, handed Vivian a stack of papers and said, "Look at it. Is it their magic circle drawing?"

"Let me see, oh, yes, this is mostly the same as what we have seen before. The destroyed magic circles are the same. The different parts should be the destroyed parts." Vivian took it over and looked at the first page and got a positive answer, but the more I looked, the ugly the more I looked. Seeing her face, even Penis did not make trouble. A group of people surrounded the mage girl and looked at her face carefully. After ten minutes, Vivian took a deep breath, closed the paper heavily, closed her eyes weakly, and said in a nearly ** voice: "It's really terrible. What do they want to do? It's simply inhumane."

"What did you see?" Catherine frowned and asked, "Didn't they all admit it? They want to plunder all the time of everyone in the city, and then use it to achieve quantitative change, and then see through the secrets of the rules of time and become a real god? Doing this is inhumane. Why do you have to repeat it again? Did you see something even more excessive? Is it not their fundamental purpose?"

"I guess it is not their most fundamental purpose, but this is just my guess." Vivian sighed, put the paper in his hand in Freya's hand aside, took out his notebook and roughly depicted a magic array on it, and drew a larger sketch composed of relatively sparse small black dots. He said weakly: "Look at it, the first magic array is the magic array they used to plunder other people's time, and the second black dots are used to represent the magic array. Based on these black dots, a large magic array is formed. Within the coverage of this array, even if there is no magic array under their feet, the same effect will be produced. They use this to plunder time across the city."

"Why not draw a huge magic circle directly?" Catherine asked, "Isn't it easier to draw a large magic circle covering the whole city?"

"No one can control such a large magic circle." Moore, who was standing aside, interjected and replied: "The larger the range of the magic circle, the more energy it needs to activate and maintain its efficacy, covering a magic circle that covers a village. It already requires several legendary mages to supply energy at the same time, or more than 20,000 terres of crystals. If the scope is expanded in the entire city, the energy required may require several demigod mages to join forces to provide, or hundreds of thousands of terres of crystals to maintain. The problem is that they do not have several demigod mages, and there are no crystals with a capacity of hundreds of thousands of terres in the world."

"Yes, the key is the energy supply issue." Vivian nodded and said, "If they use their method, they can use crystals to power each small magic array. Each small magic array may only require three or four thousand tels of crystals to be activated. Although this will consume a large amount of crystals, it will turn the impossible into a possibility."

"I understand what you said." Catherine nodded and said, "But, does this have anything to do with what you just said, their fundamental purpose?"

"Huh, it's related." Vivian sighed again and said, "Pennis, I remember you are very familiar with maps of various regions of the mainland. Can you draw us a floor plan of the Butt Plateau? It's reduced to this size of this piece of paper."

"Yeah?" Panis seemed to understand Vivian's thought immediately, his face became ugly, and his mouth twitched, "Can you be sure?"

"Haha, I hope I can't be sure, either." Vivian said with a wry smile: "That's why I said it and let's discuss it together."

"Okay, I understand." Panis took the notebook and hurriedly drew a simple topography of the Butt Plateau, and consciously marked most of the cities on the map in dots: "Give it, the map you need."

"Thank you." Vivian took the map and looked at it, nodded and said, "Sister, do you remember that we found several cities with such magic circles along the way? Mark them out on the map."

"Seven, no, eight." Catherine seemed to understand something, her fingers trembled slightly, picked up her pen and marked it on the map: "Here, Frost City, the Gully City over there, Hurricane City, and Fog Cloud City..."

"Okay, let's take a look now." Vivian smiled bitterly and picked up the second spell array map composed of black dots, overlapping it with the map, looked at Guang and said, "Pennis, you draw so well, the scale just right. It seems that you really understand. So after reading these two pictures, what do you think?"

Looking at the light, the black dots representing eight cities in the circle of Catherine almost completely coincide with the eight black dots on the second magic array map composed of seventy or eighty black dots. The scene in front of us made everyone unable to help but take a breath of air conditioning. Everyone knew very well what this meant. It means that even these cities were only a small part of their goals. Their real goal was to use each city as a complete node, and then form a higher level spell array to expand the plundering range hundreds of times.

Panis squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while. He took the map and spliced ​​it with another piece of paper. He drew the map covered by the entire spell array. He stroked his chin and said, "The range covers half of the Butt Plateau, and half of the Faral Empire. Even the Whispering Swamp is included, and there is also a desert of sighs. However, there are basically no intelligent creatures in these two places to survive, so it can be ignored."

"Maybe... we're thinking too much." Lina painted a square on her chest, and said with a trembling voice: "In the coverage, there are probably tens of millions of people living, maybe even 20 million. This is one-tenth of the human beings in the Yara world. No matter how big their ambitions are, they can't think of massacre so many people at once, haha, haha, I must have thought too much."

"I'm afraid you don't even believe your words." Vivian sighed again: "But I think there is one thing that is strange. How can they complete such a large range and such a large workload? Indeed, the demigod is very powerful and the mage is mysterious, but they are not omnipotent. Even if they started to prepare for this when they just obtained the magic circle more than ten years ago, with their number, it is unlikely that such a large project will be completed. Moreover, these require the cooperation of local people. Even as the demigod of Viktor, I don't think he has this qualification to let everyone cooperate with him, especially those mage lords of Butt. So maybe there is something we haven't noticed yet."

"It's useless to say these now." Panis's face was extremely strange. Since he saw Danakus' temple on the grassland, the girls have never seen him have such a strange expression. He said in a voice without any ups and downs: "No matter how big their plans are, they are all dead after all. What we have to do now is to clear out the magic circles in this city as soon as possible, and then notify Speaker Warrenson that all cities or regions represented by these more than 70 nodes must be cleaned up."

"That's right." Vivian nodded and said, "It's a hidden danger to keep it, so it's better to clean it up as soon as possible."

"Well, so let's take action separately." Panis said: "You can deal with these more than 70 locations according to the node map drawn by Vivian, so that there will be no hidden dangers."

"Where are you?" Catherine was very confused about Panis's performance, but she was considerate and did not forcefully ask why, but just asked, "Let's deal with it, won't you follow me?"
