Chapter 2527 Dox's Evaluation
"Would it be wrong to just let them stay here?" After Angel returned to the tavern, Ms. Mello stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
After this group of talented people arrived at the tavern, it was obvious that they had not completely recovered. They still showed lingering fears and basically just sat at the table blankly.
Although the tavern is closed today, the door stall cannot block the gaze from outside. Ms. Melo was worried that once the escorts patrolled over and discovered them, there would be another disturbance.
Angel: "There's nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
In Angel's view, even if the guards discovered them, it would not be a big deal. Do you really dare to take action here? Moreover, even if you do take action, you have nothing to fear.
However, this is Old Potter's territory after all, and it is the secret chess set up by the Savage Cave. Even if this secret chess is not very important, Angel will still try his best to avoid exposure if he can avoid being discovered.
Therefore, although his mind was already wildly talking about being fearless, the reins of his horse were still being pulled tightly by him.
And this rein is an illusion.
Angel arranged a layer of illusion outside the tavern, which can unconsciously affect everyone who enters the range of the illusion.
This can be regarded as a layer of precaution taken by Angel.
After setting up the illusion, Angel asked Ms. Mello to find Old Porter, while he stayed in the front room and had a casual chat with Doakes.
Although the chat was casual and the topic was not limited, Angel still brought up the changes in the Guman Kingdom intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to explore Doakes' background.
Although Doakes has not made it clear that he wants to get involved in the changes in the Guman Kingdom, his previous actions seem to have given out faint signals that he wants to intervene.
It's okay to intervene. Wandering wizards are also called free wizards. They have no restraints and can do whatever they want. But Angel was a little curious, how far Doakes was prepared to get involved, and what did he want to get out of it?
Facing Angel's temptation, Doakes was a little absent-minded. He occasionally responded a few words, but mostly turned his head and looked around.
Angel: "What are you looking for? Crowned Parrot?"
Doakes nodded immediately: "I have been recalling the curse words I have heard along the way, and I have compiled many wonderful words. I must use them to teach that bastard parrot a lesson, otherwise I will be unhappy. ”
Moreover, when Doakes was on the road, he told Angel to let Angel watch his performance. He said it must be done.
However, they all came, but the crown parrot didn't know where to go.
This is why Doakes and Angel chatted absentmindedly.
Seeing that the crown parrot was not there, Doakes wanted to express those sweet words in his heart, so he could only say to Angel: "How about you come and appreciate the curse words I compiled?"
Angel smiled and refused: "It's still up to you to act on the spot. If you prepare in advance, you may not be able to use it."
"That's what I said, but...well, you think I want to quarrel, but I want to break its neck directly." Doakes muttered the last half of the sentence in a low voice, but it was also Tell it to Angel.
If Angel hadn't blocked it intentionally or unintentionally, Doakes would definitely have wanted to use direct methods to deal with the parrot.
Angel: "I personally think that if you get knocked down in any field, you can regain your position in that field, which will give you a greater sense of accomplishment."
Want a fucking sense of accomplishment? Doakes cursed secretly in his heart, if that bastard parrot was not attacking him but Angel, Angel would probably use violent methods.
"Furthermore, didn't you say that the crowned parrot might have followed a knowledgeable wizard, and maybe it was a summon of a big shot. Aren't you afraid of being noticed by a big shot?"
Doakes took a sip of wine in annoyance.
If it was really a big shot, he would probably be dead, or maybe he would be so fed up with it that he would terminate the contract on his own initiative. Otherwise, how could that person named Abulei sign the contract?
Although he thought so in his heart, Doakes did not say it out loud. Now that the bastard parrot is not here, he doesn't want to continue talking about it, lest the more he talks, the more angry he will become.
"Tell me something else." Doakes changed the topic directly: "I understand what you mean, but I don't think you need to test what I do."
Angel: "What do you mean?"
Doakes: "Wandering wizards all follow the crowd. Unlike organized people like you, you have to look at the overall situation or the overall interests to make plans. Don't you think this is very troublesome..."
Angel responded noncommittally.
Doakes continued: "Of course, you guys will definitely get the most in the end, but I am a wandering wizard. All I see is the immediate benefits, and I don't necessarily want to take the immediate benefits; the first second What thoughts can change in the next second? Just like I was at the Sandworm Market yesterday, who would have thought that today, I would come to the Queen's Town to watch a show with the recently famous super-dimensional wizard? "
Doakes winked at Angel: "So, don't test it, and don't pay attention to me. If you really want to do it, what I can do is limited, and after I return to the Sandworm Market with you, maybe I will come to the Kingdom of Guman again, all possibilities are available, take the freedom of choice as your heart’s proof.”
Angel smiled. Doakes' words were convoluted, but he could sum it up simply: I'm just a nobody. Don't worry about me. I can't affect the overall situation. At most, I can get some benefits and withdraw, but I won’t get involved deeply.
Angel naturally knew that Dox could not influence the overall situation. He was curious about why Dox suddenly showed that he wanted to intervene in this chaos. Did he find any visible benefits in the Princess Castle?
However, Dox had already said this, and it was obvious that he did not intend to discuss it with Angel in detail.
Angel thought about it and let it go.
His current thoughts were actually similar to Dox's. He only saw the immediate benefits and did not want to consider the long-term gains and losses. However, the difference between him and Dox was that his "immediate benefits" were too many to digest in time, such as green veins, spatial knowledge, mysterious alchemy, the power of the Dream Wilderness, elemental partners in the Tidal Realm, etc.... Think about it carefully, compared with these, even if Dox found some visible benefits in the Princess Castle, it seemed that it was just that.
So, there was no need to go into it further. As for the long-term benefits... Isn't this asking Old Potter to contact Lord Rhine in the Dream Wilderness? Naturally, they have their group to consider.
After giving up the temptation, Angel and Dox really chatted casually.
However, this casualness is still limited in scope. They couldn't just chat about the knowledge of the wizarding world or other wizard gossip in the front hall. It was not just a matter of people in the hall, but also about "communication". The choice of occasion and timing was very important. This place and this night were not suitable for these knowledge-level exchanges.
Therefore, the content of their chat was limited to this small Huangnu Town.
Finally, Dox picked a topic. He began to evaluate the group of talents in the Savage Cave with his own eyes.
Dox evaluated one by one, and did not cover his voice. The group of talents who were still relaxing were attracted to it every minute.
They didn't say it, but they also wanted to know in their hearts what evaluation they had in the eyes of formal wizards.
In fact, Angel was not interested in this topic, because there were really few outstanding talents in this group of talents. At least, compared with their group at the beginning, they were really weaker.
But since Dox had started talking, Angel was not going to interrupt.
As Dox commented one by one, there was basically no surprise. Angel heard words like "weak", "stupid", "impulsive" and so on.
And everyone who was commented by Dox had a somewhat ugly face.
The only person who Dox did not give a clear negative comment was Ameisha. However, even for Ameisha, Dox said: "She looks a bit like a quasi-witch, but a strong character is more likely to break. Moreover, if you don't fight, you deserve to suffer."
The so-called "not fighting" obviously means that Ameisha did not follow him to instigate Angel to fight.
This alone is a bit biased with personal emotions. However, there is no problem with other comments.
Even if Angel thinks that Ameisha has a bit of Nausicaa's shadow, he is more optimistic about her future; however, Nausicaa also has some elements of too strong a character. Although too strong a character is not too derogatory, if you don't learn to adapt, it will be difficult to reach the end of this road.
After evaluating the people present, Dox also evaluated the people who were not present.
Sibyl's evaluation is not high. A young lady who is arrogant and not very worldly, if she wants to grow up, she will probably have to experience some realistic beatings.
Dox gave a very short evaluation of the two people after Sibyl.
The evaluation of Golos is: a little interesting.
The evaluation of Blaze is: an interesting little guy.
As for the meaning and fun, Dox did not elaborate. But the two rare seemingly "positive" evaluations made the other talents sitting on the side feel resentful.
Angel did not stop Dox's behavior of attracting hatred to the two people. Being targeted is not necessarily a bad thing sometimes.
However, his evaluation is very strange. Angel knows what Blaze's "interesting" means; but for Golos, Dox seems to have given an evaluation that makes Angel puzzled.
At least, Angel has not yet seen where Golos is "a little interesting".
Perhaps, when Dox sneaked into the princess's castle, he saw something that made him think Golos is interesting?
Although Angel was confused, he did not ask Dox, because at this time, Ms. Melo came out from the back hall.
However, there was no figure of Old Potter behind Ms. Melo, but Abule and...Little Tom.
Angel was about to talk to Ms. Melo, but Dox got there first.
Dox stood up with bright eyes and looked down at Abule: "Tell me, where is that ugly parrot? Isn't it very talkative? I want to talk to it this time!"
Abule shrank back and retreated again and again.
Ms. Melo couldn't bear to see it, and gently stood beside Abule: "Master Hongjian, Abule is timid. If you have any questions, you might as well sit down and talk."
"She is timid? Oh, if she is timid, would she dare to let that bastard parrot provoke me?"
Abule said weakly: "I can't control it..."
Dox also understood Abule's situation, and snorted coldly: "Tell me, where is it? Did you put it back to the original world?"
Abule shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Where did it go, I don't know."
As Dox asked further, he learned that the crowned parrot also flew out of the tavern after they left. It told Abule that it wanted to find a quiet place to sleep and come back during the day.
Abule could not control the crowned parrot, so she could only let it fly away.
"It actually ran out alone?" Dox was really surprised by this. Even if the crowned parrot was not a very powerful summoned beast, it was still an extraordinary life. And this is the wizard market. If it was taken by those profit-seeking people, how could they let go of a lone crowned parrot.
Dox narrowed his eyes: "It is very courageous."
That being said, Dox had a feeling in his heart that the crowned parrot might not only run out alone because of its courage.
As a summoned creature suspected of having a previous summoner, it obviously has a high understanding of the wizard world, and from its previous performance, it can be seen that it is a creature with extremely high IQ and strong insight. How could such a summoned creature not know the horror of the wizard market?
But even so, it dared to go out alone. There must be something wrong.
Dox suddenly calmed down and sat down slowly. Now it was still a few hours before daytime. Since the crowned parrot said it would come back in the daytime, it could wait and see.
Faced with Dox's sudden silence, Abule and Ms. Melo were relieved, but Angel was a little disappointed.
He actually wanted to see Dox and the crowned parrot's verbal battle.
Moreover, there were so many talented people here. If Dox, a formal wizard, lost to the crowned parrot in front of ordinary people, wouldn't it be a very interesting drama?
Unfortunately, the crowned parrot was not here... Angel shook his head. He also guessed that the crowned parrot had a secret, but it had nothing to do with him. Let Abule worry about it. If Abule couldn't worry about it, then let the crowned parrot influence her instead. This was not a bad thing for a weak homegirl like Abule.
Dox paused for a moment, and Angel looked at Ms. Melo: "Old Potter is not here?"
Ms. Melo shook her head: "He is here, but... I'll let this guy tell you."
Ms. Melo pointed at Little Tom.
Little Tom was the little guard who sneaked into the princess's castle to seek revenge. After being found in the prison by Angel, Angel pointed him out and asked him to come out to find Old Potter.
Little Tom was not afraid of the stage, and walked forward and said: "The master asked me to come here to find Old Potter, and I also saw him, but when I saw him, he just came out to see me in a hurry and asked about the master's situation. Before I said a few words to him, he said it was too late and he had to go back to sleep for a while. If there is anything, I will talk to him when he wakes up, and then he didn't come out again."
