Chapter 2560 Arrival at the Ruins
"Hmph." The Black Earl snorted coldly, but did not argue with Angell.
Angell did not want to offend the Black Earl too much, and treated it as if nothing happened. He smiled at Dox and others: "You should have rested enough yesterday. If there is nothing else, why don't we explore the garden maze today?"
"Oh...oh, okay." The people who were called back to their senses by Angell answered subconsciously, and still glanced at the stone slab on Wai in shock.
Before, they all thought it was just the Black Earl's nose, which could not speak, and could only be translated by Wai, a third party. Who knew that this nose could also make sounds.
Not to mention other people, Wai himself was still confused. The Black Earl's nose had been following him for a long time, and it was the first time he heard the nose speak.
"Then let's go, leave the Biren Tree Court first." In Angell's voice, everyone followed in a trance.
Along the way, they still glanced at the stone slab from time to time.
The Black Earl was probably annoyed by the stares of the crowd, and snorted heavily: "The principle of sound is the most common knowledge. If you are surprised by this, are you still qualified to be a wizard?"
The people who were mocked looked at each other in bewilderment.
That's what you said, but you never spoke before, why are you speaking now?
Way represented the voice of the crowd and quietly asked the Black Earl this question.
"Humph, I was just too lazy to speak before."
The Black Earl did not explain why he was willing to speak now, but everyone looked at Angel walking in front and had some guesses in their hearts.
Yesterday, the Black Earl and Angel did not participate in the "Forest Project", maybe it was at that time that the Black Earl spoke.
Thinking of this, Dox's heart moved and connected with Angel's mind link.
Before Dox could speak, Angel said in his mind band: "You are brave enough to secretly use the mind band with me in front of Lord Black Earl."
Dox was not stupid, how could he not understand what Angel said? Lord Black Earl probably had already cut off the mind band and was waiting to listen to their whispers.
Originally, Dox wanted to ask what Angel said to Lord Black Earl yesterday, and talk about the news he got from Wai yesterday, but since it was possible that Lord Black Earl might monitor it, he naturally couldn't say these words.
Thinking of this, Dox said in his mind band: "Anyway, I didn't come to you to say bad things about Lord Black Earl. I just want to ask you how you made Lord Black Earl speak yesterday."
This question is reasonable. Even if Lord Black heard it, he probably wouldn't say anything.
"Why do you think I was the one who asked Lord Black to speak?"
Dox thought for a moment: "That seems to be true. Yesterday, Lord didn't follow Wai, but stayed in the tree house with you. I guess he wanted to talk to you. Talk about the ruins?"
Angel: "What else, come to me to reminisce?"
Dox only dared to test this point, and he didn't dare to ask for specific information. However, he did not gain nothing. With his understanding of Angel, the last question must be a normal answer, whether he was talking about the ruins. But Angel answered him in a rhetorical tone, firstly to tell him that the topic was over, and secondly to imply that he and Lord Black must have talked about something more in-depth.
Judging from the fact that Lord Black mocked Angel as soon as he came today, they must have had a confrontation yesterday, and maybe Lord Black suffered a loss. Otherwise, it would be impossible to lower his status to mock Angel.
After Dox had a rough idea in his mind, he threw a look at Angel and disconnected the mind tie.
At the moment when his mind tie was disconnected, a familiar cold snort came from behind him.
Now there is no doubt that the Black Earl must have eavesdropped on their conversation just now.
Dox pretended not to know and continued to follow Angel silently.
Not long after, they came to the exit of the Biren Tree Courtyard. The Biren Tree Courtyard also belongs to the other dimension, and its exit is between the two maple trees.
Dox skillfully knocked on the two maple trees, and the maple trees opened their eyes.
From their smart eyes, it can be seen that the two maple trees should have given birth to spirits.
However, they don’t seem to like to talk, but just follow the rules, each slowly stretching out branches, and the branches of the two trees are intertwined to form an arch.
This arch is the real exit.
After walking out of the arch, the place where they appeared was still next to the two maple trees, but now there are no buildings nearby, but a lush forest.
Obviously, they have left the Biren Tree Courtyard.
Dox walked to the two maple trees again, snapped his fingers, and a cute green sandworm came out of his earring.
The green sandworm blew a faint green breath at each of the two maple trees, and then drilled back into Dox's earring.
The two maple trees opened their eyes, and their branches and leaves seemed to be swaying in the wind: "Thank you."
"May the cross representing freedom live forever." Dox touched his chest solemnly and bowed gently.
After doing all this, Dox returned to the crowd.
Kael looked at Dox curiously: "What were you doing just now?"
Dox smiled but did not answer.
It was Dox's long-time friend Wai who gave Kael an answer on his behalf: "This is his habit. The situation of wandering wizards is not as good as yours and Dox. He did this just to plant a good cause for wandering wizards. Even if it doesn't bear good fruit, at least it won't be a bad result."
After hearing this, Kael looked at Dox with a surprised expression: "I didn't expect you to consider the overall situation of the entire wandering wizard."
Dox said speechlessly: "It's just a matter of convenience, what's the overall situation."
After speaking, Dox also said to Wai: "When I explained it to you before, it didn't rise to this level, don't exaggerate the explanation."
But Wai said: "This is my understanding, I believe my understanding is correct, right, sir?"
Wai finally asked the Black Earl, but did not get a response. Obviously, the Black Earl was too lazy to speak for such a small matter.
"It's the same if you have anything to say later, let's leave here first." Angel said while taking out the gondola.
Under the astonished eyes of everyone, the gondola was blown up by the wind like a veil in the starry sky and flew into the sky.
"Humph." While others were still looking at the gondola, the Black Earl snorted coldly.
No one understood what he meant, but Wai could hear the Black Earl complaining in his mind: "He is so showy, afraid that others don't know his name."
Wai only dared to listen, but didn't dare to explain.
Angel himself could figure out the reason why the Black Earl snorted, but he didn't care. In his opinion, this deliberate rebellion was actually a kind of implicit praise.
After sitting firmly, everything was left to Su Ling to control.
Angel also showed Su Ling the map yesterday, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
After the gondola set off, Angel looked at Dox sitting next to him and whispered: "The green sandworm you just summoned is an elemental creature of the natural system, right?"
Dox nodded without comment.
"Sandworm form... Could it be that you caught it in the desert? Can nature elves be born in the desert?"
Dox: "I don't know if other nature elves can be born in the desert, but this is just something I encountered by chance in an oasis. At least for now, there should be only one nature sandworm like me in the wizard circle of the entire Principality of Laxum."
Dox's tone was flat, but his pride was almost overflowing.
However, when he felt the sound of the wind around him and saw the smooth and smooth operation of Speed Spirit, Dox's pride slowly subsided.
His nature sandworm is rare, but its ability is not very good. But even if Angel's wind element creature did not show much strength, the surging elemental power was really amazing. Even if his sandworm was out of the elf stage, it was really dwarfed by comparison.
Not only Speed Spirit, but also the fire elf on Angel is very unique.
Speaking of which, this guy has only been promoted for a short time, where did he get these elemental creatures?
Dox asked curiously.
Angel: "You will know soon, but I will keep you in suspense for now."
Dox looked at Angel's pretending smile, and his spiritual perception was running fast. After a while, Dox said suspiciously: "Why do I have a feeling that there is something strange here?"
Angel did not answer this time. When the Tidal Realm appeared, Dox would naturally know. With Dox's motivation for profit, he should go to the Tidal Realm as soon as possible. However, whether he can enter at that time is another matter.
......
The garden maze is only a few dozen miles away from the Biren Tree Garden. After a few minutes, at the steady speed of Speed Spirit, they saw a ruin covered with green moss.
This ruin is extremely wide, comparable to the capitals of various countries today. It was definitely a magnificent city back then.
Unfortunately, no matter how magnificent a city is, after being abandoned, it will only be ruined under the erosion of time.
There are broken buildings everywhere, all covered with mosses and tiny plants. For wasteland lovers, this is probably a paradise.
But for Angel, who has seen the real Naraku City, seeing such a dilapidated ruin, he is more sighing in his heart.
Here is the garden maze, which was once Naraku City.
Angel drove a gondola and turned over the garden maze, overlooking the whole ruins and comparing it with the bird's-eye view of yesterday.
Yesterday, he thought that the author of the bird's-eye view was too presumptuous when restoring the building, but when he really saw the full picture of the garden maze, Angel had to admire that the author of the bird's-eye view had an extreme imagination.
Such extremely dilapidated ruins can make him draw a city, and even have roughly iconic buildings. This is definitely a talent that can be called a visionary.
At least, when Angel looked down himself, he couldn't find the landmark buildings of Naraku City at all.
If there was no bird's-eye view, they would probably come in vain today.
In the process of looking down, they also saw some figures. Although compared with the entire city ruins, there were only a few people, but the total number was not small, which seemed to be inconsistent with the "deserted" rumor.
However, after a deeper look, they found that most of the people in the ruins were ordinary people. There were very few extraordinary people, and as for the formal wizards... except for them, no one would come here inexplicably.
These ordinary people came to the ruins to look for treasures. Things that were not important to extraordinary people might be valuable treasures in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, it was normal to have ordinary people here.
After flying around, Angel stopped at the top of a clock tower ruin.
The green moss covered the ground, and only 20% of the building was left. The top of the building they were standing on was also shaky, and as for the "bell", no one knew where it had gone.
If it wasn't for the bell tower drawn on the bird's-eye view, Angell wouldn't have been able to recognize it by himself.
"Is the destination here?" Kael asked curiously.
Angell didn't answer, but jumped directly into the bell tower. Seeing this, the others followed him.
The reason why Angell came to this bell tower was because he had seen the full picture of Naraku City and knew that there was an entrance to the underground waterway near the bell tower.
Although there was more than one entrance to the underground waterway, there were not many entrances so close to the iconic building.
Angell planned to explore from here first.
As soon as he entered the bell tower, Angell frowned. The ground was full of rubble. It was not broken by itself, but the huge vines that grew from the ground broke the ground and fell into rubble.
I didn't find such a huge vine in the ruins before. If it was everywhere, the underground waterway would probably be severely damaged. In this case, it would be much more difficult to find the wall in the underground waterway smoothly.
After a few minutes, Angel bypassed various vines and ruins and came to a pile of arched stones.
According to his memory, this should be one of the entrances to the underground waterway.
Angel originally planned to clean up the pile of stones by himself, but when he saw Dox coming, he stepped aside and handed the cleaning work to him.
"You don't even do this? Where is your wind elemental spirit?"
"It's tired." Angel said nonsense with his eyes open.
Dox spit, but still walked forward with a curse, waved his hand, and cleaned up the pile of stones with his physical strength alone.
Without the pile of stones, the manhole cover of the underground waterway below was exposed.
"Is it here? So we are going underground." Dox said as he lifted the manhole cover.
However, when the manhole cover was lifted, there was a lot of gravel and soil inside, which was almost the same as the earth outside.
"Time has changed everything here." Angel sighed. Since this underground waterway was completely closed, let's go to another one.
However, Dox was a little unconvinced: "It's just a little soil, watch me, just chew it directly."
After speaking, Dox pushed Wai out and pointed at the soil in the manhole cover: "Leave it to you."
Wai was silent for a moment, slowly stretched out his hands, and the gravel and soil under the manhole cover were sucked up one after another. While doing these things, Wai took the opportunity to reply to Dox: "I don't chew soil."
"Almost, you earth wizards are either chewing soil or on the way to chew soil."
Wai said nothing.
But the stone slab on Wai's body was shining, and a violent energy fell, directly turning Dox upside down.
When Dox sat up again, he was still a little confused.
At this time, Kael said silently: "I heard from the mentor that the people of Noah's clan seem to be earth wizards."
