Chapter 2599 Snake Emblem

"There is definitely one, no doubt." Angel gave a firm answer in his mind band: "However, this also shows one thing, there is indeed a way out hidden above the chimney."

The stinking ditch and the maze are actually one and the same. Now they are discussed separately, which is just the classification of later generations.

Before Naraku City was ruined, the underground was similar to the ground, with a large number of living areas. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground city. Otherwise, Naraku City would not have established various official institutions in the underground maze.

Where there are people living, there must be a sewage channel, so there is the later "stinking ditch".

The appearance of mutant scavenger squirrels on this road means that there must be a stinking ditch on this road. Since there is a stinking ditch, it means that there must be a living area nearby. Living area means a way out.

Of course, the way out and the dead end are just the divisions of later generations. Even the maze may be a name that people who lived here at the time made fun of, rather than the real situation.

This is the underground sewer, the underground steel jungle. People who used to live here simply regarded all roads as ways out. They just live underground, and the so-called search for the exit of the maze - the passage to the ground, is simply their daily life.

It's just that time has passed, and most of the exits of the underground waterways have collapsed. There are very, very few passages leading to the ground, which is what makes the underground waterways become the so-called "maze".

"Now it's not like ten thousand years ago, the way to live may also become a dead end." The Black Earl said lightly.

Angel: "But this has no effect on us. The place we are looking for, whether it was ten thousand years ago or now, is considered a dead end."

"Since there is a dead end, why are we looking for a way to live?" Kael asked curiously.

"Location. I need to find a landmark building to locate me." Angel: "And generally this kind of landmark building is on the way to live."

After Angel said this, he didn't continue, and no one else asked. Because they also knew that continuing to ask would probably only get an awkward silence.

It's better to end the conversation in advance.

The conversation was over, but the crowd didn't pursue Angel's words. They were still talking in the mind band, but they were all talking about the discoveries in this hall.

Angel listened and found that they were basically some insignificant discoveries.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is a laboratory that once accommodated hundreds of people working together. The experimental logs and experimental samples are gone. Most of the remaining experimental tools were broken or taken away by predecessors, so almost all the clues left here were lost.

But a laboratory that can accommodate hundreds of people working at the same time is actually a clue in itself.

"Since the Noah family was once a part of the Garden Maze, Lord Black Earl, has your Noah family ever recorded any major experimental results that the Garden Maze has ever released?" The person asking the question was Dox. Obviously, he and Angel thought of the same thing.

Unlike Earth civilization, experiments in Earth civilization, no matter how big or small, are almost all team operations. But in the wizard world, a wizard can replace a large team by himself. The magic hand allows them to control multiple tools at the same time. The development of mental power allows them to think distractedly without confusion. The wizards themselves have a wide range of knowledge, especially academic and technical wizards. The breadth and depth of knowledge are amazing. Their memories will never be forgotten. As for the issue of inspiration... wizards will not start experiments before they have inspiration. In other words, their inspiration exists from the beginning, so they don't need any brainstorming.

Because of this mechanism, wizards almost always do experiments alone, with one or two assistants at most, and some apprentices who are just spectators.

Such large-scale experiments that require hundreds of people to work together are very rare.

But once such a large-scale team experiment appears, there will inevitably be amazing results.

"There is no record." Black Earl: "About the Garden Fan... Forget it, let's call it Naraku City. The records about Naraku City were almost all destroyed after the decline of Naraku City."

"External intervention?" Angel immediately thought of conspiracy theories.

Black Earl: "It should be, but I don't know what kind of external force. Maybe it's someone from the Source World. After all, ten thousand years ago, the Source World and the Southern Region often exchanged what they had."

Dox narrowed his eyes: "Maybe Naraku City is doing some large-scale research in secret, which touched the nerves of some people. This led to the decline of Naraku City? And the laboratory here is one of the research places?"

"Who knows, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, these have been buried in the long river of history... and it has nothing to do with our goal." Black Earl didn't want to talk about conspiracy theories, because even Black Earl himself had to admit that the possibility of conspiracy theories... is really great, and it's not a good thing to delve into it. After all, ten thousand years is not too short or long for a wizard, or a powerful wizard family or wizard organization. If Noah's family is involved because of too deep exploration of Naraku City, it will be meaningless.

Seeing that Dox wanted to continue asking questions, the Black Earl interrupted and said, "If you really want to know, you can follow Angel to the Savage Cave to find the old man. The old man must know the truth of this history."

This was said in vain, because Shu Lao almost never appeared in front of people, not even the people in the Savage Cave, let alone outsiders.

Doakes sighed and patted Kael on the shoulder: "It seems that I want to help you explore some historical truth, but there is no other way."

Kael silently took a step away from Doakes.

He is not stupid, and his pursuit of history is true, but he also knows that if he digs into some of the hidden historical truths, it will only bring him trouble. Obviously, the loss of Naraku City is likely to be like this.

Kael is curious about history, but if he really explores the history here, he believes that he will die soon.

After another five minutes, Doakes said in the psychic belt: "We have finished searching here and found nothing. What about you?"

Doakes was naturally asking Angel who was walking aside alone. However, he did not receive a response from Angel for a long time.

Everyone was confused and looked up at Angel's location.

But he saw Angel holding something unknown in his hand and looking at it.

Did you find anything? Without thinking, Doakes strode directly to Angel's side. Regardless of the safe distance between people, he put his head directly to Angel's chest and looked at the items in Angel's palm.

"This is... a fragment of an experimental instrument. Is there anything special about it?" Doakes looked at it for a while and asked doubtfully.

Angel: "Now, stay three meters away from me immediately."

Doakes raised his head and realized that he was almost leaning on Angel's chest, looking at the condescending Angel.

"Ahem." Doakes also felt embarrassed, quickly backed away, and then added: "I have to say, good-looking people look good even when you look up."

Angel: "Thank you for the compliment, but I will be more careful next time. I will use the transformation technique to change my image to an uglier one to avoid being thrown into the arms of a man again."

Doakes scratched his head, not knowing what to say, looking embarrassed.

However, there was no need for Doakes to say anything to calm the atmosphere at this time. The Black Earl took the initiative to take over the topic: "Is it the snake-wrapped emblem you are looking at?"

The Black Earl hit the nail on the head.

In Angel's hand was a fragment of an experimental instrument. In terms of value alone, it was no different from other fragments, but this fragment had a very conspicuous mark on it.

A silver snake wrapped around the emblem of a bone staff.

"Well, I've seen something similar to this emblem."

Before Angel could finish speaking, the Black Earl said directly: "You mean the immortal snake emblem of the fairy tale world, the country of giant snakes?"

"Yes." Angel nodded. Angel was not surprised at all that the Black Earl knew about the country of giant snakes. After all, the other party is a real boss.

"The Kingdom of the Giant Snake was destroyed a thousand years ago, but even if the Kingdom of the Giant Snake was not destroyed, it did not last for many years. It is even more far away from thousands of years ago." Angel: "I'm just a little strange, the Kingdom of the Giant Snake Why is the country’s eternal snake emblem so similar to the emblem on the instrument here thousands of years ago?”

"Do you think the two are connected?" Black Earl asked.

Angel shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe not, after all, the time interval is too long."

Black Earl: "Indeed, the time interval is too long. But, do you know why so many wizards pay attention to the Serpent Country, an ordinary mortal country or a country in the attached world?"

Angel naturally knew, but he didn't say anything.

"It's because of the Source Worshipers. According to legend, the Source Worshipers were completely wiped out tens of thousands of years ago. But later, a rumor spread that there was still the last Source Worshiper group in the country of the giant snake."

"Of course, I can't be sure whether this statement is true or not. However, the Source Worshipers were destroyed ten thousand years ago, and Naraku City was also destroyed ten thousand years ago. It is said that the giant snake country where the Source Worshipers exist has an eternal snake emblem. A snake wrapped around a staff mark was found in Narok City’s laboratory, do you think there is a connection between the two?”

The Black Earl only laid out some possible connections and did not give a direct answer.

Angel was silent for a moment, and with a slight exertion on his palm, the fragments of the instrument in his palm turned into slag, and the crystal clear powder slowly fell from his palm. After being swept away by the swift wind tail, the powder completely dissipated.

"I don't know if there is any connection, and I don't want to speculate. This is the end of the exploration of this laboratory. It's time for us to leave. If we don't leave, my fantasy will probably be filled with those scavengers with flying membranes. squirrel."

Angel turned around and left.

Seeing Angel's actions, the Black Earl did not feel slighted, but smiled softly.

Regardless of whether the two things are really connected, what we can know is that there is a secret in the fall of Naraku City, and the source worshipers are deeply involved. Not to mention Angel, even the Black Earl himself is involved, which is not so Good to get away with. Therefore, the best result is to ignore it at all.

Angel's approach is obviously the best choice.

However, the Black Earl only saw the surface. Once you see some things, even if you destroy the evidence, they will be engraved in your heart.

Angel may not care about the situation in Naraku City, but he is quite concerned about the snake-wound logo.

Because Duodoro is the last source worshiper still alive.

The only thing on Dotolo's body, and the only thing that accompanied Dotolo when he recovered, was a silver bowl. The inner wall of this silver bowl has an emblem - a black snake wrapped around a cone.

Before, Angel thought that the country of giant snakes was the origin of the "Snake Entangled Pillar". But now it seems that the "Snake Entangled Pillar" may have more to do with the Baiyuan people.

Ten thousand years ago, did the Baiyuan people and Naraku City really have exchanges?

Angel sighed in his heart and threw away the redundant thoughts in his mind. He would remember these clues, but it was not appropriate to explore them now.

Still need to lie dormant and wait.

Waiting for Dodolo to grow up and waiting for the source fire to return. By then, even if Angel did not explore, perhaps the "Snake Entangled Pillar" would appear in front of him on its own initiative.

…

In addition to the hidden flue, the laboratory has only one door leading to the corridor outside.

At this time, light and shadow flickered on both sides of the corridor, and a large number of scavenging squirrels jumped in the light and shadow. However, no matter how they jumped, they only turned around in place, looking quite crazy.

"The movement of these scavenging squirrels can be controlled by light and shadow alone. The way of illusion is indeed desirable." Dox sighed.

Angel: "Don't comment with a superior attitude."

Dox: "This is not a superiority, I really praise your illusion, but no matter how strong the illusion is, it is still not as good as the blood side of the same level."

Angel: "You have gone around so much, you still want to say the last sentence."

Dox smiled and did not refute.

He killed monsters so hard before, heroic and powerful, and no one survived wherever the red sword went. How handsome. But Angel just used a light and shadow illusion to control all the scavenger squirrels. This elegant illusion made Deux look so reckless before.

So, in order to save some face, Deux went around and around, and finally said that the blood wizard is stronger than the illusion wizard of the same level.

Dox did not ask for the consent of Angel and the Black Earl, as long as he did not lose face in front of Wai and Kael.

But Deux's "hard work" may be useless. Because Kael is an academic, he doesn't hate fighting, but he doesn't like fighting either. Dox's words didn't move him at all. On the contrary, Angel's illusion made him feel very eager to study.

As for Dox's old friend Wai, let alone, he is a otaku and a little fanboy. Who cares if he is strong or not, or the super-dimensional master is more admirable.

Angel didn't argue with Dox about who is stronger or weaker, because many blood-side wizards rely on this sense of superiority to find a sense of existence. Similar situations often happen in the wizarding world, and the argument will be endless. If they end up arguing and really have to roll up their sleeves to compete... the blood-side will still be more skilled, which will definitely make them more arrogant.

Therefore, in this situation, either a perfunctory compliment or ignoring is the best response.

Angel chose the former. After all, Dox played a big role in this exploration and was qualified to be perfunctory.

After dealing with Dox, they continued to move forward.

There are light and shadow illusions on both sides of this corridor, so even though there are a large number of scavenging squirrels on both sides, the road is still unobstructed.

However, after walking about 50 meters, a dividing line appeared in the corridor, and there was a fork in the road ahead.

On this fork, there was a thin layer of light and shadow illusion film, which was the edge of the light and shadow illusion arranged by Angel.

Even standing in front of the illusion film, they could hear the chirping sounds outside.

There are obviously still mutant scavenging squirrels outside, and the number is no less than that trapped in the laboratory.

This also means that once they step out of the corridor protected by this illusion film, they will face an unprecedented terrifying rat tide.
