Section 2437 Principle of Compensation
The Inspector looked at the hand that Angel handed over and the monocle on his palm that shone with metallic luster, and suddenly fell silent.
As a legendary wizard, he could clearly tell that Angel's words were sincere.
Moreover, the style of this monocle was very similar to the monocle that Nice used before he fell asleep.
These details showed that Angel did not lie to him.
Using this seemingly ordinary monocle, it is indeed possible to peek into the truth of the so-called "Dream Wilderness, Mother Tree Network".
However, he was still very hesitant about whether to take it.
As an inspector, when he arrived in the South Region, he swore to the will of the South Region in accordance with the rules of the Order Guild: unless the disorder storm occurred, he would never intervene in any events in the South Region at other times.
This also means that within the framework of the oath, even if he established contact with the wizards in the South Region, it would not be in compliance with the regulations.
Of course, the oath rules formulated by the Order Guild could not be so harsh. After all, the inspectors only went to various worlds to complete tasks, not prisoners who were exiled and assigned.
As an inspector, there is still a certain amount of loop space, otherwise he can't even go shopping in the Sky Mechanical City.
And if you want to use this loop space deliberately left in the oath, you can generally follow two principles:
First, find a legitimate reason on the surface, and through free conviction, you can intervene in the South Territory disputes to a certain extent. Before, the inspector met Ferro and met Angel in the laboratory, which actually took advantage of this condition.
Second, double compensatory exchange.
Whether it is the South Territory or the Source World, in fact, most wizards default to the principle of "equivalent exchange", and you have to pay as much as you get. This principle is actually written into the oath by the Order Guild. The inspector can make some interventions in the observed world, but you must make compensatory exchanges, and this exchange is doubled. What you get, you must pay "double" benefits to make up for it.
For example, if he intervenes in a South Territory dispute, then he must make double returns to compensate for the world's will to offset the cost of intervention. As for how to repay the world's will? Generally speaking, it is to contact the extreme sects and do some things to expel the alien gods.
Of course, the inspectors generally do not intervene in the disputes in the southern region. If they really intervene, they will definitely not take the compensatory exchange, but the path of free conviction.
In the above example, when there is no clear direction, the return object is the world will, and the beneficiary is the extreme sect.
If there is a clear direction, for example, now, his clear direction is Angel. If he accepts Angel's gift, then he must pay Angel double the compensatory exchange, which is in line with the principle.
For this reason, the inspector is hesitating whether to take the single-sided glasses handed by Angel.
Taking the single-sided glasses is equivalent to taking the truth of "long-distance dreaming". Even if this truth does not have too deep "knowledge", the value is quite high.
He may have to make a lot of compensation to Angel to make up for this exchange.
The inspector cannot judge the value of this exchange, so he dare not act rashly.
He actually regretted it now. If he had known, he would not have asked, but would have secretly observed and explored it himself. Even if he really violated his oath, he could still use his free conviction and find a legitimate reason to justify himself.
But now, Angell showed his sincerity and handed the truth to him, but he was restrained instead.
The inspector felt bitter, but he couldn't tell it. He couldn't tell Angell that he took back his previous question, right?
After a moment of silence, the inspector whispered: "If you think the answer is important, you don't have to answer it or explain it to me."
Angell thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. Your Excellency knows Mr. Frost and should know that I am an alchemist. The truth is actually very simple, it's just a little gadget I made."
A little gadget made?
If so, he can afford the price!
The inspector carefully observed the monocular glasses, trying to see the truth through the essence of the monocular glasses. However, this monocular is attached with the breath of nightmare and contains a trace of the energy of nightmare world. Although it is very thin, he can't understand it...
But in the eyes of the inspector, this monocular is indeed not a powerful thing.
Then, take it. The price to pay should not be too much...right?
Thinking of this, the inspector finally stretched out his hand and took the monocular from Angel's palm.
"Dream wilderness, right? When I have time, I will go to see it." After the inspector took the monocular, he did not use it immediately, but put it into the distorted space first.
Finish the matter at hand first, and then explore the glasses. As for the "compensatory exchange" for Angel, he will make a decision after he goes to the dream wilderness to see it. Anyway, he will not be able to leave the southern region in the short term, and he can find Angel at any time to compensate.
Angel was relieved when he saw the inspector put away the login device and did not ask immediately. If he really wants to explain, it will take too much time, and it is too late now.
Angel turned to look at Sanders.
After greeting the inspector, Sanders stood a little further away and observed the surroundings. He saw the attractive fruit in the distance and the floating night sky in the sky.
Angel walked to Sanders and quickly recounted the current situation. He omitted what should be omitted and got to the point directly.
Sanders: "Not saving you, but saving Kant? Is the fruit in the distance a disordered thing that may be promoted?"
Angel nodded and pointed at Kant, whose figure appeared and disappeared in the night: "I have discussed with Nice, and there are currently two ways that may help Lord Kant..."
After listening to the plan proposed by Angel, Sanders pondered: "I don't know the spatial veins, and it is difficult to find a spatial wizard for a while, so the first method is ruled out. The second method, interfering with reality in the interlayer space, can be tried."
Sanders himself thought about whether there are other ways to help Kant. Yes, there must be. However, when it comes to operability, it is obvious that what Nice said about interfering with reality in the interlayer space is more suitable for him.
"Teacher knows the spatial ritual?" Angel asked.
The interlayer space interferes with reality, this Sanders can definitely do. However, to achieve the second method, you must also know the spatial ritual, so that you can stabilize the space where Kant is.
"Yes." Sanders nodded and gave a simple and powerful answer.
Angell's expression flashed with joy: "Then we can try it now. As long as the instructor stabilizes the space where Lord Kant is, I will immediately open the door of illusion and pull Lord Kant back!"
Sanders also knew that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed, so he nodded directly.
However, before the test, Sanders turned his head and looked at Nice: "By the way, the consumables for opening the space gap and the materials needed to arrange the space ritual, I will ask you for them after I go back, remember to prepare them."
Nice was stunned for a moment, and only after Sanders entered the space gap did he come back to his senses and suddenly jumped up and said: "Why am I here to reimburse? It's none of my business!"
But Sanders had already entered the space gap at this time, and his voice could not be heard at all.
Nice quickly turned his head to look at Angell: "Angel, you come and judge, is he confused, why would he come to me to reimburse?"
However, Angell ignored Nice at this time. He was now detecting space fluctuations and was ready to open the door of illusion at any time.
After anxiously waiting, after a few minutes, Angell finally saw something strange in the sky.
Projections of some items appeared near Kant.
These projections were exactly the materials needed for the space ritual. Sanders crossed the gap in the space and directly projected the materials for arranging the ritual into reality!
The ritual materials surrounded Kant in a very ritualistic arrangement.
And Kant did not react much, perhaps he could feel that the projections of the rituals around him did not mean to hurt him.
When the space ritual was arranged, Angel clearly felt that Kant's location showed signs of slowing down, and the surging night became calm.
The space fluctuations reached an unprecedented stability at this moment.
The ritual was successful!
Angel opened the door of emptiness without hesitation and positioned it in mid-air!
After the door of emptiness was formed, there was no sign of breaking, which showed that the space was really stable. Angel could not wait to step forward and push open the door.
After the door opened, Angel immediately saw Kant not far away.
Kant's expression at this time was obviously ferocious, his eyes were faintly red, and he stared straight at the fruit that was about to mature on the waves below.
From Kant's expression, it can be seen that he has indeed been affected by the fruit and cannot extricate himself.
However, what the Inspector said is not wrong. Kant still retains a trace of reason. Otherwise, when the Illusionary Gate appears, Kant will not be indifferent.
The remaining wisp of reason makes Kant understand that the Illusionary Gate is not an enemy.
Next, it is to pull Kant into the Illusionary Gate.
Kant's strength is far superior to Angel, and it is definitely not possible to pull him directly. The only way is to let Kant's unextinguished reason have a slight upper hand and not resist too much.
As for the method, it is also very simple. Angel directly lets the Illusionary Gate through which the green-veined domain field passes slowly cover Kant's body.
When Kant was included in the domain field, the redness in his eyes faded a little, and his expression also showed a trace of confusion.
"It's time!" Angel shouted, and quickly constructed three magic hands in the air.
At this time, Nice also understood the intention and created a pure white skeleton chain.
The magic hand and the skeleton chain entered the illusory gate at the same time. The magic hand pinched Kant's arm, and the skeleton chain tied Kant's waist.
The most critical moment has come. Will Kant resist?
Kant slowly turned his head, his eyes were confused, but he did not mean to resist.
Angel and Nice looked happy. Without hesitation, they exerted force directly, and Kant fell out of the illusory gate and appeared beside them.
After doing all this, Angel breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to look at Kant, his eyes were still a little confused, and the red in his eyes did not completely disappear. Obviously, he was still affected by the fruit. However, with the suppression of the domain field, and Kant was far away from the influence of the fruit, Angel believed that it would not take long for Kant to recover.
When Angel was relieved, Sanders also walked out of the gap in the space.
Angel and Sanders exchanged glances, which was considered a good news.
When Nice saw Sanders, he immediately prepared to start talking about the reimbursement problem. But Sanders ignored him and went straight to Kanter.
As a close friend for many years, Sanders was still very concerned about Kanter's situation.
Under Sanders' treatment, Kant's eyes began to slowly recover, and soon, the red light in Kant's eyes finally faded.
"I'm fine, thank you." Kant did not ask Sanders why he suddenly appeared. He had no time to pay attention to these details now, because he came back from the Illusionary Gate, and the night sky above his head was out of control, and there were signs of backlash.
Kant closed his eyes and sorted out the veins of the magic a little to avoid backlash.
But even so, Kant's state was much weaker than at the beginning, mainly because he consumed too much energy when resisting the attraction of the fruit.
"You..."
Kant opened his eyes and was about to say something. But at this moment, Nice suddenly said: "No. 03 is coming!"
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, in the mist in the distance, huge waves rolled in.
And No. 03 was standing on one of the huge waves.
...
Before, No. 03 had been in a state of confrontation with Kant, so he basically stayed where he was. Now that Kant has broken free from the stalemate, No. 03 is naturally free.
"Let's leave quickly. No. 03 is not difficult to deal with, but that fruit is too weird! We must not get close to it!" Kant was the one who spoke. When he mentioned the fruit, his tone actually revealed a hint of fear.
This was something Angel had never seen before. It was enough to show how much shock the fruit brought to Kant.
Angel and Nice naturally agreed with Kant's words. Sanders had just arrived and did not have enough judgment on the fruit, but he was somewhat interested in the fruit. However, Sanders was not a reckless man. His old friend was so afraid of the fruit that he must have his judgment. So, Sanders did not refuse.
"I will contact Ferro and let him and X3 no longer control the sea beast." Nice said, "We will also withdraw."
After No. 03 was able to move freely, she was no longer constrained by the range and could completely move around, using the attraction of the fruit to break X3's expulsion of the sea beast. Therefore, X3's ability is no longer meaningful.
As for the disorder of fruits caused by the proliferation of sea beasts... maybe they would have cared about it before, but now the inspectors are here, and with the inspectors taking action, they don't have to worry about the consequences.
Everyone prepared to stay away from this turbulent tide area.
But before they could get away, an amazing scene suddenly appeared.
The sky suddenly changed color, and the foggy sky was covered by a night curtain. At the same time, the surrounding fog began to disappear rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their visual distance was constantly increasing, from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, and even dozens of nautical miles.
As the fog dissipated, the stars in the night sky were particularly dazzling, covering the sky, and at a glance it was like returning to a clear summer night.
"Sir Ruye, you...you manipulated the night again?" Nice looked at the sky that suddenly changed color, hesitantly.
Kant: "...I'm next to you, can't you feel whether I used magic?"
It wasn't the sky that Kant changed, so what was going on?
Even the fog, an old disease that has been accumulated for who knows how long, dissipated in an instant. Who can do this?
Could it be that the young body of Xiz died. The sky and the ocean are singing a sad song?
Angel turned his head and looked at the inspector not far away: "My lord, this is..."
The inspector did not look at Angel, but quietly looked at the sky. After a long time, he slowly said:
"It's coming."
