Chapter 2582 A Promise
"What if I don't say it?"
As the voice fell, the air suddenly became quiet. Although the Black Earl did nothing, everyone felt a pressure coming.
This is not coercion, nor is there any energy fluctuation. It is purely the oppression created by the wizard's strength after reaching a certain height, borrowing the momentum of the world's will.
And being able to borrow the momentum of the world's will has definitely begun to go very far on the road of law. This is a road to legend.
The Black Earl suddenly did this, obviously reminding everyone that although he had cooperated before, don't take his cooperation for granted. Don't forget that he is a wizard who is only one step away from legend.
Angel is closest to the Black Earl and feels the most deeply. Moreover, the Black Earl himself is also coming for Angel.
However, the Black Earl has no intention of hurting anyone, so Angel is not injured, but his face is a little pale.
The Black Earl repeated again lightly: "If I don't say it, what will happen to you?"
After speaking, before Angel replied, a sound of footsteps came into his ears.
Looking back, he saw Dox walking in with a solemn expression, his eyes cautious, looking at the stone slab floating in the air.
Angel knew what Dox meant by looking at his expression.
Even though the Black Earl was terrible, he was just a nose after all. Dox and Angel joined forces, not to say that they could take him down, but they would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
And this plan was discussed by Dox and Angel before he came. If there was a confrontation, they would deal with the Black Earl together.
Looking at Dox with a determined look, Angel secretly sighed in his heart: Is fighting the only thing in this guy's head?
The Black Earl hadn't done anything yet, and they hadn't entered the underground maze yet, and they were about to get on the verge of a fight. Was this guy here to make trouble?
Angel quickly stopped Dox with his eyes and said, "If you want to be backlashed by the contract again, come in. Otherwise, go out."
Dox stopped immediately after hearing this. He still had some self-knowledge. He believed that Angel would definitely have a way to induce him to lie in the contract light shield.
Moreover, Angel stopped him, which meant that it was not time to tear each other apart. Dox was not stupid either. He laughed and said, "You continue to chat."
Dox left the contract light shield in disgrace.
Although the Black Earl had no face, Angel could feel that he was definitely looking at Dox just now, and guessed that they had a secret agreement.
However, the Black Earl did not say anything. Obviously, for him, this kind of being guarded and vigilant was already commonplace.
"Your Excellency, of course you don't have to tell me. This is your freedom. Just like, I also have secrets about this relic that I haven't told you. However, I can be sure that the secrets I hide will not affect the exploration."
Black Earl: "So, you still want me to tell you. Will this matter affect the exploration?"
Angel shook his head: "Your Excellency can tell me if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. However, I hope that your Excellency can give me a promise."
Black Earl: "Are you asking me for something?"
Angel: "It's not a request, but a promise that as a team leader, I must consider the safety of the team members."
Black Earl pondered for a moment: "You say."
In Black Earl's mind, Angel probably just made a promise similar to not attacking each other internally. He said this promise long before he came, at least it would keep them safe, so he didn't mind saying it again.
However, what Angel said next surprised Black Earl.
"I hope that no matter what happens next, what you see, and what kind of intelligence information you get, you can't contact other organs of your body in any way, nor can you summon them, let alone come in your true body."
"Besides, the ruins here can't support your true body."
Even Dox was a little surprised by Angel's request... Did Angel expect something when he asked for this promise? This relic is actually very important to the Noah family? So important that the real body may come.
The Black Earl did not answer immediately, but whispered: "You seem to know more about this relic than I thought? Is this relic related to our Noah family?"
"I don't know." Angel: "But since Lord Black Earl took the initiative to bring it up, I have some guesses in my mind."
Angel's answer did not alarm the backlash of the contract light shield, indicating that he really didn't know whether this relic was related to the Noah family.
The Black Earl thought to himself: Is it really a premonition?
Can the premonition be put aside for the time being? Should I agree to Angel's request?
If this place is really closely related to the Noah clan, this part of his body is probably really at a disadvantage...
Angel: "Your Excellency is still silent, are you not confident in yourself?"
The Black Earl knew very well that Angel was using provocation. It was useless at ordinary times, but under the contract shield, it was a bit restrained.
Because he couldn't be sure whether the power of the contract would backfire after he said "I am confident".
After weighing the pros and cons, the Black Earl sighed in his heart and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
Angel wanted to show his trump card. If he really wanted to compare backup, his backup was no worse than the Black Earl. Under the contract shield, he could fully confirm Angel's words and put pressure on the Black Earl.
But now it seems that what Dox said is right. The contract shield has made the Black Earl trapped in his own trap.
Of course, there is another reason. It was the Black Earl's nose that came. If it was his brain or hands and feet, it would be another story. After all, the brain can think faster than the nose.
Thinking of this, Angel immediately smiled brightly: "Since the Lord has agreed, it is your freedom to say it or not."
The Black Earl always felt that Angel's smile at this time was a bit dazzling, so he simply turned away from the stone slab and didn't want to look at him.
Angel didn't care, but continued to ask: "Lord, don't you really consider talking about it? What news do you hide?"
The Black Earl snorted coldly, but didn't answer. He has already agreed to a promise, why should he tell the hidden news?
Angel: "Your Excellency is unwilling to say that it is your freedom, but maybe I can guess?"
"It should be information related to the Noah family, right?"
The Black Earl still snorted coldly. As long as a normal person has heard their previous conversation, he can definitely guess that he is hiding information about the Noah family.
"The Noah family is indeed a big family, and it has been passed down for such a long time." Angel sighed: "But it is strange to say, why would this group of believers who believe in the Mirror Demon God engrave information related to the Noah family on the table?"
Dox: "Maybe the master of a certain organization mentioned by these believers is the ancestor of the Noah family."
Angel can be sure that Dox's words have absolutely no inspiration bonus. Even his words, Angel did not dare to respond, because he knew that the ancestor of the Noah family was probably Augustine, and that person was not a master.
If he responded, he would definitely be exposed under the contract light shield.
Angel remained silent and pretended to think.
In fact, he was really thinking.
He remembered that from the information he got from the Nightmare Realm Naraku City, Augustine seemed to be in love with a lady named Margaret, and Margaret was also interested in Augustine.
And Margaret's father, Franklin, was the warden of the Hanging Prison Ladder.
The Hanging Prison Ladder... Prison... Warden...
This Hanging Prison Ladder should be considered an important institution in Naraku City, right? Then, as the warden, is Franklin considered a master?
Thinking of this, Angel had a bold guess in his mind.
Perhaps, the institution that this group of believers of the Mirror Demon God wanted to attack was the Hanging Prison Ladder! Otherwise, why did they mention the Noah clan inexplicably? The Noah clan at that time, Augustine at that time, were not as huge as they are now.
And the one most related to Augustine was the Hanging Prison Ladder where Margaret was.
Whether this guess is right or wrong, Angel will keep it in mind for the time being, and he will know the truth when he finds the entrance. Because according to the translation of the Black Earl, the followers of the Mirror Demon mentioned that this underground church is not far from that organization.
If it is really the Ladder of the Hell, then Angel is lucky. Because he is not familiar with other places in the underground maze, but he is very familiar with the Ladder of the Hell, and the guidance method he practiced was also obtained in the Ladder of the Hell.
While Angel was thinking, the Black Earl said: "I have translated everything I should translate, now it's your turn. The one in the middle of this table should be a magic pattern, right?"
The Black Earl could see some magic patterns in it, but he always felt something was wrong, as if there were breaks, like intermittent patterns. So, he used the uncertain tone of "it should be a magic pattern".
Everyone also looked at Angel. They understood the characters, but the characters did not mention where the entrance was. So would there be any hints on this pattern?
"This is indeed a magic pattern, but it is not a flat magic pattern. It is a three-dimensional magic pattern that penetrates deep into the desktop." Angel pointed to the lines that looked like "broken" and said: "The whole of these magic patterns is engraved inside the desktop, so it seems that there is only one section on the surface."
When they heard that it was a three-dimensional magic pattern, everyone also reacted. They had also heard of the technique of this magic pattern, which is a relatively complex and hidden magic pattern.
Dox: "I heard that if there is a real object, it is not difficult for magic pattern warlocks to distinguish the three-dimensional magic pattern, but now the real object is gone, do you have a way to distinguish it?"
Angel subconsciously wanted to say something humble like "I don't know, but you can try, I will do my best", but the words were on the tip of his tongue. Feeling the power of the contract surging around him, Angel's heart skipped a beat. The power of the contract does not distinguish whether you are humble or not, it only distinguishes between true words and false words. So, Angel quickly changed his words: "There is a way, give me some time."
After a pause, Angel said: "This is not a good place to crack the magic pattern. Let's go back to the underground church first. From the characters, the entrance should be in the underground church if there is no accident."
The Black Earl also agreed with this. If the entrance is not in the underground church, there is no need for the group of demon god believers to build it here.
Just go.
The Black Earl put away the contract light shield, and then walked along the corridor to the underground church.
At this time, the underground church was brightly lit, and it happened to be the time for cooking. There were wisps of smoke in each room, and the smell of food and meat made the entire underground church full of a stronger smell of fireworks than before.
"Did these people not consider air circulation at all?" Wai seemed to dislike the smell of fireworks, and frowned and said: "If they had considered it, they would have found the inscription card."
"You know they haven't thought about it? It's just that sometimes it's better to be confused." Doakes said casually.
Although it was an argument, Angel felt that Doakes might be right. Don't forget that the old man Fuxiu is smiling all the time, but that is just an appearance. You must know that other people are frightened when facing extraordinary people, but the old man Fuxiu behaves very calmly. Respect and honorifics are just etiquette. You can see it from his eyes. It turns out that he is definitely a calm and wise old man.
A wise old man who is in charge of his household would not consider ventilation issues? Impossible.
He must know something, he is just pretending to be confused.
Somewhat different from Vai, Doakes seemed to like lively scenes. He didn't hate the smell of fireworks at all. He even walked up with a smile and asked for a barbecue leg.
While eating, Doakes also sighed: "The Traveling Merchant Organization is quite good to these adventure groups. The meat is good, and there is no shortage of fruits and vegetables. If there is wine, that would be even better."
Doakes' sigh was very loud, as if he was speaking specifically for others to hear.
Within a few seconds, the old man Buxiu came over with a smile: "Sir, there are still a few bottles of blackberry wine in the supply warehouse. Would you like to give it a try?"
Doakes muttered: "Blackberry wine, isn't this a wine for women... Forget it, as long as you have wine to drink, where is the supply warehouse, let's take a walk!"
Doakes didn't care about the others at all, and happily followed the old man.
Angel was too lazy to care what Doakes did, and turned to the others: "If I guessed correctly, since the three-dimensional magic patterns are used on the desktop, you might as well go and see if there are any that look like patterns. , but there may be a magic energy array composed of three-dimensional magic patterns hidden here."
Everyone was right when they thought about it. When they were searching before, they only looked at the complete lines, but naturally found nothing. But if it is a three-dimensional magic pattern, and only a small section is exposed, maybe it is really there.
Thinking of this, everyone found a direction and began to explore.
As for Angel, after he finished instructing others to do their work, he returned to the podium in the lobby on the first floor.
Using illusion, the lecture table that originally stood here was restored.
He quietly looked at the magic pattern on the lectern, and a three-dimensional simulation composition was already unfolding in his mind...
