Chapter 2590: Retaining Color

As soon as the Black Earl finished speaking, everyone's eyes, which had originally moved away from Angel, focused on him again.

The Ancient One's men can all pretend to be the Demon God, which means that the Ancient One's men are at least as powerful as the Demon God. And Angel not only met one of the Ancient One's subordinates, but also got information about the Ancient One from him!

This is simply like hearing a fantasy like "a giant chatted with an ant at his feet, and finally the giant left without crushing the ant."

This is possible only in fairy tales.

And now, the fairy tale has really come into reality.

The atmosphere of silence continued to spread as everyone looked at Angel.

Angel allowed everyone to look at him this time and said nothing. And if Angel didn't take the initiative to speak, no one else could press him. Even the Black Earl was embarrassed to ask. After all, this involved Angel's privacy and had nothing to do with today's topic.

After the stiff atmosphere lasted for about half a minute, someone finally broke the silence.

"Then why did the Ancient One's men play the role of the devil? Is it because of the 'sacred object' stolen by the 'thief'?" The person who asked the question was Kael.

"To develop a group of believers for a foreign object, and to build a church secretly under the extraordinary city?" Doakes shook his head: "The most important thing is that there are thieves who can go to the abyss to steal the hands of a demon-level existence. A sacred object? The more I hear it, the more unlikely it becomes.”

"Then...why did he do this?" Kael asked doubtfully.

Doakes: "Whether the other party is played by the Ancient One is still a question."

Doakes's casual words attracted the attention of both Angel and the Black Earl.

They had previously assumed that the Demon God came from the abyss and might be a subordinate of the Ancient One, all based on the fact that the other party was really the "Demon God".

But what if the other party is not the "Devil"?

Outer gods and wild gods generally do not dare to touch the abyss, and they cannot blame it on the abyss, because the nature of their powers are different. As for gods like the Evil God, they don’t even care about their own kind. Why do they still care about external things?

So now the most likely possibilities are two possibilities: First, the 'Mirror Demon God' comes from the abyss and incarnates as a demon god for a certain purpose.

This may require a premise, that is, the Demon God of the Mirror must at least have power comparable to that of the Demon God, because Demon Gods of all sizes have developed followers in the wizarding world. Even though these believers have their own beliefs, the cooperation between the major Demon Gods makes them It has become a gray social circle. The believers of the Mirror Demon God meet other Demon God believers. If they are not to be discovered, the Mirror Demon God behind them must have Demon God-level power, or let other Demon Gods They don't dare to reveal their powerful background... such as the Ancient One, or the Ancient One's subordinates.

At the same time, the Demon God of the Mirror also needs to have some of the methods of the Demon God, such as communicating with believers through air, miracles given by his true name, etc... After all, extraordinary people are not fools. The famous devil was deceived

Second, the opponent is not from the abyss, but someone from the wizarding world, playing the role of the devil.

Because the only person who knows the wizard best is the wizard himself.

As long as this big boss in the wizarding world has enough energy, it is very simple to prevent believers from contacting other circles of demon believers. As for spiritual communication and various miracles and deceptions, they can also be explained... The person who studies the devil most thoroughly is the wizard. Doesn't the wizard borrow a little power from the devil? The original prototypes of magic patterns and inscriptions do not all come from the abyss. Therefore, it is really not difficult for the big guys in the wizarding world to develop similar abilities.

Both of these situations are actually possible. And no matter what the possibility, flaws can be picked out.

For example, the second possibility is that if it was really done by a big shot in the wizarding world, why would he pretend to be a demon and let the believers do it? He can cover the sky with one hand, secretly built an underground church under the extraordinary city, and engages in such sneaky behavior, which is really unfathomable. As for putting the blame on the devil... a devil whose name no one has ever heard of, why would he put the blame on him?

Moreover, if he wanted something "holy", wouldn't he steal it himself?

Anyway, now both positive and negative guesses are possible. There might even be a third possibility that they haven't thought of.

Angel had a headache thinking about it, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's not worry about the identity of the Mirror Demon God for now. Maybe our destination this time has nothing to do with the Mirror Demon God."

As soon as Angel finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded: "Don't worry so early. The more you think something in this world is impossible, the more likely it is to happen."

It was Doakes who spoke, of course.

Angel looked at Doakes speechlessly and helplessly. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "If you hadn't said this, I think it might not have happened."

Doakes: "Are you calling me a crow-mouthed person?"

Angel: "As long as you understand."

After Angel finished speaking, he stood up and turned to look at everyone: "Let's go and look elsewhere. If there are any traces of the Mirror Demon God and his followers... don't let them go."

After Angel finished speaking, he glanced at Doakes, hoping that this guy's words were not inspiration and would not come true.

When it comes to the "Mirror Demon God", whether the other party is a real Demon God or a fake Demon God, it is a big trouble.

After Angell left, Dox immediately caught up with him and told him something like "What is destined to happen will not change just because I say it. This is not a crow's mouth, but a way to break through the maze."

After finishing speaking, Dox was quite proud and jokingly whispered in Angell's ear: "You just called me a crow's mouth. Are you scared by my inspiration?"

Angell stopped and turned to look at Dox.

Dox patted Angell on the shoulder, then pounded his chest, and made a gesture of brotherhood: "Don't worry, I didn't have any inspiration just now. I just said some theories I think, which are the ones I just told you."

What you said makes people more worried. Angell sighed silently in his heart. He really wanted to point out the truth that Dox's inspiration has always been working, but if he did, Dox might not be able to seize the opportunity.

The words that came to his lips were finally swallowed back. Angel shouted lightly: "Dangros."

Dangros, who was in tune with Angel, immediately jumped onto Angel's shoulder and fumigated the place where Dox had just hit with hot fire.

"What are you doing..."

"Nothing, just dirt on my shoulder." After Angel finished speaking, he turned around and walked away with big strides.

Dox looked at Angel's figure going away, silently looked at his hands, and murmured: "Dirty things?"

...

After coming out of the transfer room, everyone came to the hall of the "second floor".

Compared with the first floor, there are more obvious signs of looting here. There are even palm prints on the wall, but they are very shallow. It is estimated that they are used by later comers to test the magic array inside the wall.

Everyone quickly completed the search, and as always, they came up empty-handed.

They are used to it. After all, after ten thousand years, it is basically impossible for any good things to be left.

Only Kael was a little dejected. The reason is that he found another piece of star-colored stone that is so big that it can be used as a stage curtain.

Such a large star-colored stone must have been engraved with beautiful murals in the past. If it still exists, it will be very useful historical data.

But now, the star-colored stone is blank and nothing can be seen.

When Kael explores the ruins, he likes the process and digging out those secret and interesting things in history. Seeing the murals that were clearly within reach but missed because of the wrong time, he was naturally discouraged.

"The quality of star-colored stones also varies. Maybe you will encounter star-colored stones that have not faded in a while." Dox comforted.

Other people's comfort is just comfort. Dox's comfort is that it has been blessed!

In an instant, Kael regained his enthusiasm: "Then let's continue to go up. The higher the level, the higher the class. There may be colored star-colored stones on it!"

After Kael finished speaking, he walked excitedly to the stairs and looked at Angel with expectant eyes.

Angel did not speak, but responded to him with actions. He took a big step and said "Let's go", and stepped onto the stairs to the third floor.

As soon as they arrived at the third floor, they felt something different.

Because they were no longer in a corridor, but in a hall.

The hall was much larger than the halls on the two floors below. The reason was simple, because there was only this hall on this floor, and looking out the window, one could see the scenery of the alley outside, not the corridor.

There was also a spiral staircase on one side of the hall, and a cold and damp wind came from the entrance of the spiral staircase.

Everyone immediately used their mental power to explore and found that there was only one door above the stairs, and behind the door was the exit. The wind was blowing in from outside.

"It's worthy of being an underground maze, the exit is so unique." Dox said twice.

"It's a good thing to find the exit." Angel: "Before leaving, explore this hall first."

The hall was also looted, but many cabinets were left behind, scattered in a mess, and the first thing everyone checked was these cabinets.

They didn't ask to find good things, just some information like the altar fragments on the second floor.

But they turned over and over, and scanned the place with their mental power several times, but they didn't find any traces worth exploring.

Just when everyone was disappointed, Kael's voice suddenly came over: "Here, here!"

Everyone looked over and saw Kael standing in front of a desk on one side of the hall. And the wall behind the desk was inlaid with a square blank star-colored stone.

"What's wrong, did you find anything?" Angel walked forward.

Kael squatted down and tilted his head to look at the edge of the frame below the star-colored stone: "Sir, look, is there any color here?"

Angel followed Kael's direction and lowered his body to look with his naked eyes.

Not to mention, he actually found a little gray-black color strip in the corner of the frame.

Angel stretched out his finger and touched it. There was no powder falling, so it shouldn't be dust or blood in the cracks.

Angel pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be a color, but why is it at the edge?"

Kael almost didn't hesitate and directly said, "Is there a painting hidden behind it?"

From the speed of Kael's answer and his excitement, it can be seen that he has had this idea for a long time and now urgently needs to be recognized.

Angel's conversation also attracted the attention of others, but Kael and Angel were already standing in front of the stone slab, so they could only use their mental power to see.

From the perspective of mental power, the gray-black color strips can indeed be seen. However, the back of the star-colored stone cannot be seen.

Although the star-colored stone is not a very remarkable stone, it is also an extraordinary stone, and it is also embedded in the wall engraved with the magic array. It is normal that the mental power cannot see through it.

"Is there a painting behind it?" Angel muttered in a low voice: "Tear it down and you will know."

Although he said he would tear it down, it is not so easy to tear down this star-colored stone. The magic array behind must be avoided, so it is necessary to explore the situation of the magic array behind.

Mental power cannot penetrate directly, so if you want to observe the magic array, you can only take a roundabout route.

Angel began to wander in the hall, looking for exposed magic patterns while feeling the routes representing energy transmission in each magic pattern.

While Angel was cracking the magic array, others were chatting leisurely beside him.

In fact, I couldn't help even if I wanted to. I could only put it aside and leisurely open a bet, betting whether there is really a painting behind the star-colored stone, or there is nothing behind it, and it was all in vain.

But the bet was not started in the end, because the initiator of the bet was Dox, and the only participants were Kael and Wai, and these two gamblers all chose the painting.

They are not stupid, Dox said with his mouth that he might encounter a star-colored stone with color on the upper floor.

Now it is here.

As for the Black Earl, he flew outside along the stairs. However, he did not fly far, just near the door, as if sensing something.

About five minutes later, Angel returned to the star-colored stone.

"The quality of this star stone cannot withstand most of the magic patterns of this magic array, so there should not be too many important magic patterns behind it. The only thing to note is that the energy channels I sensed are broken here. The magic patterns of the energy channels should be drawn in the star stone."

After Angel finished speaking, Dox immediately asked: "Then, is there a way to bypass these two energies..."

Before Dox finished speaking, Angel turned around and said: "No need to bypass, I have made an external array plate, and now I should be able to pry this star stone directly off."

After Angel finished speaking, he made a "please" gesture to Dox.

Although it is simple to pry open the star stone, he just can't bear to see Dox leisurely watching. So, let Dox do the physical work.

Happy New Year~
