Chapter 2605 Centaur

This road with a great sense of spatial contrast is longer than expected.

With the help of the power of wind, everyone has walked for nearly five minutes, but still can't see the end. Instead, the sense of oppression is getting heavier. Although Angel and others are not affected too much, they gradually become silent.

This silent atmosphere lasted until the first narrow mouth.

The road cannot become wider and wider, and there is a threshold for awe and insignificance. Therefore, after walking a long "road", they finally ushered in the first narrow mouth - the road began to gradually narrow.

There is no fork in this narrow mouth, but there is a stone statue at each end of the narrow mouth.

The stone statue on the left has been completely destroyed, leaving only the base. The stone statue on the right has also been damaged, but a half body is still left. Judging from the restoration of this half body and some fragments on the ground, the statue on the right should be a centaur holding a round shield and a chain hammer.

Centaurs, if we simply talk about monsters, don't actually exist in the South Region. Even if they do exist, they are smuggled from the abyss.

However, stories about centaurs are often circulated among the people. This is like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus in the fairy tales on Earth, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The symbol represented by centaurs in the folk is not the terrifying monster in the abyss, but a symbol of loyalty and steadfastness.

Because the stories about centaurs are basically the same as the Dragon Quest, and centaurs are the solid backing behind the heroes.

Who compiled the story of centaurs has long disappeared in the long river of history. It is probably a mystery whether the other party has seen the centaurs in the abyss.

But it must be said that the story of centaurs is very popular. Even in the wizard world, even if they know that centaurs are monsters of the abyss, there are actually many people who like the image of centaurs.

A friend of Angel's, Viking, looks like a centaur from the waist down. Of course, he was transplanted out of necessity, but the fact that the Vikings did not reject this image shows the attitude of the wizarding world towards centaurs.

Under such an attitude, the statue of the centaur was also given quite a lot of positive connotations.

Judging from the movements and postures of the centaur statue in front of him, it is a typical state of alert, which is a warning to the later comers to "stop".

The so-called stop generally has only two meanings, either to warn the newcomers that there is danger ahead, or to say that the place ahead is an important place and no entry is allowed.

Which of these two meanings would it be?

Angel was the first to break the silence and expressed his doubts.

"Maybe, both." The cold voice, with a hint of nasal feeling, undoubtedly, was the speaker of the Black Earl.

"I also think that Lord Black Earl is right." This time it was Kael who spoke.

Kael had been squatting beside the completely broken statue base on the left, wearing goggles and holding very professional archaeological tools, a special magnifying glass and a pheromone amplifier, looking very stylish.

However, while he was speaking, Kael took off his goggles and let out a long breath: "Although I only captured a small part of the pheromones, it can be basically confirmed that it was not a human who destroyed the statue, but a demon with a dark aura."

"This demon may have its own corrosive ability. I have extracted signs of corrosion from some fragments. But the statue itself was not destroyed by the power of corrosion, but was smashed by a lot of force, so I guess this demon has a certain corrosive ability and its strength is also very good."

"Also, the most important point is that the pheromones I can extract indicate that these statues were not destroyed too long ago, no more than half a year."

"So, I agree with Lord Black Earl. The original meaning of this centaur statue may be to remind the visitors that there is an important institution ahead and they are not allowed to enter without permission. But now, since there are demons nearby, it means that there may be danger ahead."

"The two possibilities coexist and are not contradictory."

Angel also recognized Kael's analysis because his analysis was based on his discovery. Having facts and evidence always makes people feel more at ease.

Angel: "Are there any records of pheromones? If there are, let me see them."

Kael nodded and handed the valuable pheromone amplifier directly to Angel. ——If it were anyone else, even Dox, he would not give it easily, but Angel was an academic "researcher" recognized by him, so he would not refuse.

After Angel got the pheromone amplifier, he immediately started to operate it.

Kael looked at Angel's standardized and elegant operation, and once again agreed that his vision was right. You know, the pheromone amplifier is a niche instrument, which is extremely cumbersome to operate. If there is a slight mistake, errors will occur.

And Angel's operation is quite smooth, even smoother than Kael.

Soon, Angel saw the traces and records of Kael's previous extraction of pheromones.

After putting down the pheromone amplifier, Angel fell into a period of contemplation.

Everyone knew the meaning of Angel's pheromone record, which was actually to find out what the monster that destroyed the statue was.

But Angel did not speak immediately after reading it, which made everyone feel a little itchy.

Wai even came to Dox and urged: "Why don't you also check the pheromone records? One more person means one more thing to think about."

"You mean Angel doesn't have enough experience and doesn't know the monster?" Dox asked back.

Vai did have this guess in his mind, but as a fanboy, he would not say it out loud. He would only ask Doakes to help so as to avoid the embarrassment of not recognizing his idol.

But Doakes pointed out his thoughts directly, but Vai waved his hands repeatedly: "How is it possible? The noble, handsome, powerful and majestic Master Super Dimension is the most profound wizard I have ever seen!"

Doakes: "...The prefixes you gave him are too many..."

Vai blushed: "I'm telling the truth."

Doakes looked at his old friend suspiciously. Could this guy have been brainwashed by Angel? Why is it so strange today?

However, Doakes did not express the doubts in his heart, so the topic just stopped here. If Vai continued to ask him to operate the magnifier, Angel would not be the one who would be embarrassed, the clown would only be himself.

That's right, Doakes didn't want to admit that he couldn't operate the pheromone magnifier.

Of course, besides Kael and Angel, there was another person present who could operate the pheromone amplifier, and that was the Black Earl. However, except Angel, no one dared to ask the Black Earl to do anything. Doakes was very courageous before and dared to speak to the Black Earl, but now he dares not because it will expose his ignorance.

"Huh?" While everyone was waiting silently, Earl Black suddenly made a confused sound.

Everyone quickly looked at the Black Earl, but the Black Earl said nothing and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Angel and Black Earl were both lost in thought...

Time passed by, and two minutes later, the Black Earl came to his senses first, but he still didn't say anything. After another minute, Angel finally raised his head, rubbed his temples, and exhaled a long breath.

"Have you found anything?" It was Earl Black who asked.

Angel nodded with an apology on his face: "I made some discoveries, but it was too long ago. In addition, my knowledge of monsters is actually limited, so it took a long time. I'm sorry."

Vai: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are already very powerful!"

Doakes glanced at Vai: "When did you learn to flatter me? If you flatter me too, I guarantee that you will be promoted to wizard in a short time."

Vai: "No."

Vai has no shortage of resources and talents. He was even a little stronger than Doakes at the beginning. The reason why Doakes caught up later is not that Vai cannot advance, but that he has his own considerations.

Doakes twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered into Vai's ear: "We have known each other for decades and you have never flattered me. How many times have you met Angel?"

Vai stopped talking, because Angel was already communicating with the Black Earl, and he didn't want to miss it. As for the question of Doakes, these are completely different things. A close friend and an idol are not on the same level, so there is no value for comparison. What's more, he is an idol who is a new fan of Vai, so naturally he wants to show off.

On the other side, Earl Black said: "Are you sure what kind of monster it is?"

Angel nodded: "If there are no accidents, this pheromone should be from Wu Mugui."

"It's the Wumugui again?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Angel ignored the others' doubts and slowly moved in the direction of the Black Earl. In the Black Earl's confused mood, each of the wonderful illusion nodes formed an illusion structure in front of his nose that could not be observed with the naked eye.

"Your Excellency, you can make sure again. After all, my judgment may not be accurate."

The Black Earl sniffed it with his nose, and unexpectedly discovered that it was the smell of a pheromone... No, it was a pheromone imitated by illusion.

After confirming this conclusion, the Black Earl was no less surprised than when he saw Angel repairing the magic patterns and releasing the moving illusion.

The Black Earl is very familiar with Sanders, and he is naturally no stranger to illusions. He knows very well that illusions can deceive the five senses. However, pheromones are not just at the level of the five senses, they go a step further and are used at the level of inspiration.

Yes, it is spiritual perception.

Psychic perception is not just a wizard's danger radar; it has a wide range of other uses.

The spiritual sea, the soul place, and the thinking space are generally considered to be higher-dimensional existences. The same goes for inspiration. In the study of wizards, it may also be a higher-dimensional state, or in other words, a high-dimensional sense unique to humans.

The five senses flow on the material level, while inspiration is hidden in higher dimensions.

To identify pheromones, you need to use your five senses and inspiration.

Angel used illusion to imitate pheromones. Does this mean that he actually has some kind of inspirational talent?

The Black Earl's guess was actually right.

Angel's mastery of emotions and the five senses was far beyond ordinary people. Now in the wilderness of dreams, he has come into contact with independent existences without souls but with consciousness, such as Bobota.

Coupled with Angel's mastery of nightmares, Angel can now use illusions to simulate this kind of existence that transcends the five senses.

However, Angel himself did not realize that this was some kind of talent, because it was too natural; and very early on, Angel had already unconsciously used inspiration to combine with nightmares, such as when he made a big fuss at the Twilight Auction. At that time, he kept thinking about the suture woman in the nightmare world, which led to the intersection between the nightmare world and reality, and was also the beginning of the changes in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

At that time, Angel was able to connect with the nightmare world just by thinking, relying on inspiration. Between life and death, inspiration and nightmare combine, and this gives you the capital to overturn the table.

And neither Angel nor Sanders noticed this. It was natural for Angel to use this illusion now.

Although it was the first time to simulate pheromones, Angel did not feel that he had failed. This actually meant that this talent had penetrated Angel's instincts.

Instead, the sudden ups and downs of the Black Earl's emotions made Angel a little confused.

"My lord, have you found something wrong? Is my judgment wrong?" Angel asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Angel did not care about the pheromone simulation at all, the Black Earl secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Sanders had studied illusion to this extent?

Otherwise, why could Angel treat this kind of supersensory illusion so calmly.

If this was true, the Black Earl felt that he had to adjust his mentality. He could not let people think that he was ignorant, especially when he met Sanders in the future. If the other party showed off to him, he could not show shock. Keep calm, keep calm...

When the Black Earl was hypnotizing himself, he was also very glad that only the nose came out this time. The nose can't show any emotions, otherwise he would definitely not be able to hide his surprise.

The Black Earl thought he had concealed it well, but he didn't know that Angel could even combine inspiration with nightmare illusions, and the capture of emotional fluctuations was even more powerful.

However, the Black Earl should be thankful, but not for his good concealment, but for the fact that it was Angel who was here instead of Sanders. If it was Sanders, he would definitely see through the Black Earl's thoughts at a glance, and although Angel knew that the Black Earl's emotions were constantly fluctuating, he didn't understand what he was thinking at all.

Therefore, when the Black Earl was finally calm, Angel had no other thoughts at all. He found that the only thought in his mind was: "Did I make a wrong judgment? It's not a witch ghost?"

While Angel was waiting anxiously, the Black Earl adjusted his mentality and tone, and said lightly: "It is indeed a witch ghost, your judgment is normal. Very good."

The Black Earl gave a compliment, not for Angel's discovery, but for the fact that this illusion of simulating pheromones is quite powerful.

After getting the affirmation from the Black Count, Angel breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I had made a wrong judgment before, it's just a witch ghost."

At this time, Dox said in a teasing tone: "What do you mean by 'it's just a witch ghost'? Why, do you only dare to face the witch ghost?"

Dox didn't know the undercurrent between the Black Count and Angel. After all, he didn't know much about illusion. He was simply confused by Angel's words.

And Dox's doubts just paved the way for what Angel was going to say next.

"I wouldn't be too upset if I saw any other monsters in the underground maze. But the witch ghost is different. Its existence has some special meanings."
