Chapter 2616: The Violent Choice

"Whether it is or not, let's go and take a look." Angel said as he reinforced another layer of purification force field in the mobile illusion.

Although the Black Earl actively released his sense of smell and lost control of his emotions when he smelled the stench, he did this to save the team's time. As the leader, Angel always felt that he should do something to appease the emotions of the team members, so he took the action of reinforcing the purification force field.

However, the mobile illusion originally had a purification force field, and reinforcing it one more layer actually did not make much difference in the effect.

But this behavior did calm the Black Earl's emotions a little. This is probably that although the result is the same whether you do it or not, if you do it, at least it means that you are attentive.

And this effort was also rewarded, and the Black Earl sent a private message to Angel.

"I see the shadow of Sanders in you, but I also see yourself. This is a good thing, but if you want to grow up to be independent, it is best to abandon imitation."

This "private chat" is a reward from the Black Earl.

After listening to this, Angel thought about it for a while and understood what the Black Count meant.

This was his first time as a leader, and Angel didn't know how far he should go. Angel, who used to be Sanders's follower, began to imitate Sanders intentionally or unintentionally. Even when making decisions, he would think: What would the mentor do if he was here?

It must be said that the Black Count has a very sharp eye.

Angel didn't show any embarrassment at all as a leader for the first time, but the Black Count still saw through his details. The Black Count didn't ridicule this, but gave a very sincere suggestion:

Imitation is not a bad thing. However, if you want to be a decision maker and leader, you'd better abandon imitation.

"I understand, thank you for telling me."

The Black Count snorted softly and didn't respond.

Angel didn't care, but discussed the route with Dox.

There are too many witch ghosts here, and once you are discovered by a witch ghost, or you kill any witch ghost, you will be surrounded.

Although Wumu ghosts are low-level monsters, they are extremely good at transforming into shadows. It is easy to kill one or two, but it is difficult to deal with thousands of them.

Therefore, it is important to plan the route in advance.

Soon, Angel and Dox both planned a route, but their routes were similar in the early stage, but they diverged later.

The reason for the similarity in the early stage is that in the early stage, even if there are many Wumu ghosts in the huge square, there are paths that can avoid encountering Wumu ghosts. But after crossing the square, there are buildings everywhere, and the alleys are varied, so there are two different routes.

Dox's route bypasses the twin tower clock tower far away. There are two branch routes to choose from, and they are all alleys. It is estimated that there will be more than ten Wumu ghosts.

Angel directly passes by the twin tower clock tower, and there is only one Wumu ghost patrolling back and forth on the path.

After hearing the two completely different routes of Angel and Dox, everyone was actually quite surprised. According to Dox's usual situation, his choice should be more radical, such as going straight in. But strangely, this time he chose a conservative route. This route is very roundabout. Although he encountered many witch ghosts, it would definitely not attract the attention of the two wizard-level witch ghosts.

And Angel, who is usually very cautious, chose to go directly through the Twin Towers Bell Tower.

"Sir, is Dox's route better, or is Master Chaowei's route better?" There is no doubt that it was Wai who spoke.

As soon as Wai finished speaking, Dox muttered beside him: "He was promoted later than me. You call him by honorifics, and call me by my name. You are deliberately making trouble, kid!"

Wai completely ignored Dox. Anyway, with the Black Earl here, Dox didn't dare to do anything to him.

Black Earl: "They can decide for themselves. It doesn't matter which way they go."

Originally, Angel wanted to listen to the Black Earl's opinion, but the Black Earl was obviously not prepared to interfere, which made Angel a little embarrassed.

It's okay to listen to Dox's choice at ordinary times, because there is an inspiration bonus. But now, Dox's inspiration began to rebel and cause trouble, and everyone was a little afraid to trust Dox completely.

Although Wai and Kael didn't say anything, they obviously believed Angel more. After all, there was only one witch ghost on this road, and they could still avoid it while patrolling. As for the possibility of attracting the attention of two wizard-level witch ghosts? Since Angel chose this route, he should have a solution...

Angel looked at Dox: "Do you have any reason for choosing this route?"

Dox said lazily: "You tell me first, and I'll see if I should listen to you."

Angel frowned slightly, but still spoke first: "The route I chose is the shortest, and the chance of encountering witch ghosts is the smallest. Even if they encounter us, they can't find us in the illusion."

Dox nodded while listening, and seemed to appreciate Angel's choice: "What you said makes sense. But anyway, your illusion is so powerful, isn't it safer to take my route? By bypassing the twin towers, you can also avoid the risk of being discovered."

Angel narrowed his eyes: "Do you think my illusion can't hide those two wizard-level witch ghosts?"

Dox: "No, I just think that taking a detour is no big deal."

After Dox finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the route he chose, his eyes flickering slightly.

Although Dox said very little and had no expression, Angell found that Dox's emotions fluctuated greatly. It can be said that this was the most emotional fluctuation since they entered the ruins.

This was just a route choice, why did the emotions fluctuate so much? Angell was a little confused.

At this time, Dox's eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the Twin Towers. Angell noticed that when he faced the Twin Towers, his emotions were actually more stable than the route he chose.

This seemed to mean that Dox agreed with his choice?

But why did Dox still insist on the more roundabout choice?

When Angell was thinking about all kinds of things, the Black Earl said: "Have you chosen? It's just a route. Do you have to think about it for so long?"

Angel closed his eyes and pondered for two seconds. After opening his eyes, his eyes became more determined than before.

"Let's take Dox's route." Angell made a decision without giving a reason.

Although everyone wondered why Angell chose this, since Angell had decided, just go. Anyway, it's just a little detour.

Dox looked at Angel with complicated eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask why Angel listened to him. But he didn't say it in the end. Instead, he walked to the front in silence.

"Why, are you ready for the battle?" Angel's voice came from behind.

Dox: "Bloodline wizards should be at the front. This is the dignity of the bloodline!"

"I have heard this sentence, but it seems to have a premise, which is to be in the melee." Angel: "So, do you think your choice will definitely involve a fight?"

Dox said unhappily: "Be cautious, this is cautious, don't you understand?"

Angel smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he followed Dox and walked leisurely.

When everyone was moving with the illusion, the Black Earl's private chat line connected to Angel again.

"You found it?"

Angel: "Your Excellency, are you saying that Dox went against the instructions given to him by the inspiration?"

The Black Earl laughed: "You really found it. The choice given to Dox by the inspiration should be your route. You must have some special talent in observation to be able to find this?"

"How did your Excellency find it?" Angel asked instead of answering.

The Black Earl: "I can smell a lot of things, such as the breath that is raised suddenly and the sigh that is forcibly suppressed."

"Maybe I am also like your Excellency, and I found Dox's abnormality through the change of breath?"

The Black Earl: "The breath changes I mentioned before are all controlled by Dox in his body. I still know whether your nose can do it."

Angel also smiled: "I did not find it through the breath, but your Excellency should not forget my job. Although I am not as powerful as my mentor in the art of mind illusion, it is not difficult to feel the changes in people's hearts. What's more, everyone is in my illusion now."

Angel lied, but he really fooled the Black Earl. After all, it is quite rude to use the word of truth when communicating.

Moreover, what Angel said is completely possible, and the logic is self-consistent. Angel has also proved his level of illusion, so why don't you believe it?

Black Earl: "The art of mind illusion is rare nowadays. In the past, mind illusion was quite popular because it can control people's hearts and make people addicted... But later, the devil descended and the war broke out. The illusion wizards who specialized in mind illusion became dispensable in the battle. Therefore, fewer people began to learn the art of mind illusion, after all, mind illusion is more useful in auxiliary. And now people prefer radical battles."

"But the instructor asked me to learn more about mind illusion, always saying that people's minds change, and mind illusion also has world-class illusion, and the future is promising." Angel said.

Black Earl smiled when he heard the world-class illusion: "That's right, the future is promising. I just don't know how long this future will be?"

At this point, Angel felt that he could end the topic of mind illusion. If he continued to talk, it would be bad if he was exposed that he was fooling around just now.

So, Angel took the initiative to change the topic: "Dox's confrontation with inspiration this time, is it good or bad? Does the lord know?"

Black Earl: "I don't know yet, but when we finish his route, there should be a result."

Angel: "Then wait and see."

After the private chat, Dox complained: "What did you say, why didn't you take me with you?"

Angel: "You should ask Lord Black Earl, it was Lord Black Earl who took the initiative to include me."

Dox glanced at the Black Earl and wanted to speak, but the Black Earl interrupted Dox's thoughts with one sentence: "Are you sure you want to know about the Noah family and the Savage Cave?"

The hidden meaning is that after you listen, you will no longer be a free person. Either join the Noah family or go to the Savage Cave.

For Dox, who regards freedom as extremely important, this is undoubtedly his Achilles' heel. He dared not continue to ask, for fear that he would be forced to leave his free body if he knew some secrets.

Looking at Dox's helpless and cowardly speechless look, Angel couldn't help laughing.

"Come to think of it, Dox values ​​freedom so much, could it be inspiration?" Angel took the initiative to chat with the Black Earl privately this time.

Black Earl: "You should have never been to the Cross Headquarters?"

"Isn't that the base of wandering wizards? I shouldn't be able to go in, right?"

Black Earl: "If you walk into the Cross Headquarters in your current appearance, will anyone recognize you as the famous super-dimensional wizard? If you say you are a wandering wizard, who will refute you?"

Angel thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. It is actually difficult to judge whether it is a wandering wizard.

"In the Cross Headquarters, I dare say that at least 10% or 20% of people pretend to be wandering wizards. Maybe there are spies from the City of Truth among the old men in the Cross Headquarters."

The old men in the Cross Headquarters that the Black Earl mentioned are actually the strongest ones in the Cross Headquarters, and they are also the faces of wandering wizards.

"Why must he be a spy from the City of Truth?"

"Hmph, you'll know if you've been to the City of Truth. There are many wizards there that you've never seen before, but they're quite powerful. These are all secretly cultivated by the City of Truth, so if it's possible to cultivate powerful and unfamiliar wizards, only the City of Truth can do it."

The Black Earl paused: "I've strayed off topic, let's get back to the point. As long as you've been to the Cross Headquarters, you'll know why Dox values ​​freedom so much."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Angel was a little suspicious.

"It's neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It's just a difference in values." The Black Earl: "You have mature values, so it's okay to go and see. Moreover, go there and listen to the wandering wizard's explanation of freedom, so that you can disguise yourself as a wandering wizard in the future."

Angel wanted to say, why should he disguise himself as a wandering wizard.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't speak. Who can tell what will happen in the future?

While they were chatting, everyone had already crossed the square.

With the cover of the moving illusion, the journey was calm and did not attract the attention of any witch ghosts.

However, we may have to be more careful next time.

They are standing outside a building that looks like a bird's nest. Judging from the mottled words on the doorplate, this seems to have been a review office. It may be a place similar to a court. From the hole in the bird's nest, you can see that there are circular seats inside, and in the center is a place similar to a podium.

If this is really a court, it is likely to be open to outsiders to witness the trial of criminals, otherwise there is no need to place so many seats.

Now, there is no breath of living people in the bird's nest-like review office. It is full of black breath that permeates from the ground. Countless witch ghosts are lying at the exit of the black breath, breathing it in big mouthfuls.

These black breaths are both filth and energy. They are the root of the existence of monsters in the underground maze.

It must not be like this at the beginning. It is estimated that the magic energy array has changed later. As for how the change was caused, Angel does not know, but he guesses that it may be caused by the three-eyed blue demon.

"Before, I was thinking of going through the alley beside this building, but there are no witches in the outermost layer of this court, and there is a door at the end of the outermost layer. Maybe we can go through here instead?" Dox said.

This kind of change of route according to local conditions is not a big deal.

There are indeed many witches in the alley, and they have to be careful even under the protection of the illusion. If it really doesn't work, they can only be included in the illusion, and this behavior has a small probability of being discovered by other witches.

Therefore, it is a good choice to go through the outer road of the court.
