Chapter 2655: Sword
Angel left the Xixia Box and appeared in front of everyone, saying with an apologetic face: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Angel saw Wai approaching him: "It's okay, we didn't wait long."
"Almost half an hour, which is not long outside, but in the Xixia Box, it is estimated that more than half a day has passed." This lazy voice was undoubtedly from Dox.
Dox was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground. Seeing Angel appear, he stood up leisurely: "Does your transaction take so long?"
Angel: "Actually, I didn't stay in the box for a long time. Xixia has cancelled the difference in time sense for a long time."
Angel said it very frankly. At least in Dox's opinion, Angel did not lie.
"Is the cancellation of the differentiation of time sense due to your transaction?" Dox asked curiously.
Angel did not hide it: "I guess so."
Dox narrowed his eyes and guessed: "Could it be that you refined something that cannot be seen in the box of Xixia?"
Angel: "???"
Dox said as a matter of course: "A woman who has been lonely for ten thousand years must need some proper relaxation and entertainment... Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at, is there something wrong with what I said?"
No one answered Dox's question, but turned their heads away, looking as if they were avoiding suspicion. Even the Black Earl stared at Dox for three seconds with strange "eyes" and nostrils.
It doesn't matter if you occasionally make some dirty jokes. Xixia's box is right next to you. Dox dared to say so. He is also a warrior. After all, Xixia is an old monster who has lived for ten thousand years, and his strength is unknown... They can only hope that when Dox was talking just now, Xixia did not explore the situation outside.
The sudden silence was finally broken by the Black Earl: "Remind you, the fastest of the people from the Traveling Merchants Organization has passed through the Wumu Ghost area and entered the stinking ditch."
Wai was surprised: "How could it be so fast? Weren't they entangled by the Wumu Ghost?"
The Black Earl: "They encountered, and even alarmed the two wizard-level Wumu Ghosts."
"However, the people who caught up this time are all gray merchants wearing gray masks. They are very familiar with the underground maze, and when they encountered obstacles, they did not attack together, but acted separately."
"For example, one of them uses illusion and one gray merchant who can disturb the mind of the Wumu Ghost. They stayed outside, attracting hatred while avoiding the pursuit of the wizard-level Wumu Ghost."
"The others continued to move forward."
One of the teams had a clear goal and should be chasing us. They have entered the stinking ditch. As long as they don't take the wrong path, they should be not far from the other dimension. "
Angel touched his chin and smacked his lips and said: "It seems that we have to leave here as soon as possible. "
"Let's go. We already have tickets. We can talk about anything while we walk."
After speaking, Angel spread his hands, and the symbol emitting red light slowly rose and floated in the air.
Without saying much, Angel took the lead and walked to the end of the platform.
This time, the alchemical puppet did not stop Angel, allowing Angel to step out of the platform smoothly, and the red light symbol floated from Angel's palm to the front of him, illuminating the stairs below.
The originally illusory stairs began to become real under the illumination of red light.
However, if Angel stepped out of a new staircase, the previous real staircase would slowly become illusory again.
Seeing that Angel had successfully walked onto the stairs, others hurried to follow.
As long as the red light symbol was on, they all passed the inspection of the alchemical puppet. Only Duokes, after passing When he was next to the alchemy puppet, a red light suddenly appeared under his feet.
Dox reacted quickly, but the red light was much faster than him. It turned into a hand and grabbed Dox's ankle. With a slight pull, Dox lost his balance and fell off the platform.
However, everyone was nearby, so it was impossible for them to watch Dox fall. A light blue magic hand grabbed Dox's other ankle and pulled him up again.
Dox successfully returned to the platform, and the hand that turned into red light slowly disappeared. At the same time as the red light disappeared, everyone heard a familiar cold snort.
Kael: "It seems to be the one in the box of Xixia..."
Angel: "No need to seem, it's Xixia. "
When the voice fell, on the other side, Dox got up from the ground, looking indignant, cursing and accusing Xixia of breaking the bridge after crossing the river.
However, Xixia did not reply to him.
Everyone looked at each other, with a tacit understanding in their eyes. It can only be said that Dox sometimes acts too casually and does not care about the bottom line when speaking. It is completely foreseeable that he will be retaliated... This is probably the "freedom" that Dox pursues, but you are free, but others are affected by your freedom and even hurt. Is this kind of freedom really freedom?
After cursing for a while, Dox finally stopped and prepared to step onto the stairs again.
However, this time the alchemical puppet stopped him.
When Dox was confused, Wai whispered: "When you fell down just now, the 'ticket' in your hand also fell down..."
Doakes looked confused: "Isn't this ticket always with us? Aren't your tickets floating in front of you? Why did mine fall down?"
Vai hesitated for a moment: "Probably, you are being treated specially."
When Doakes heard this, he got a little angry again and shouted "Why?"
The Black Earl, who had not paid much attention to Doakes, snorted coldly at this time: "Don't you know why you were targeted? This is the result of speaking out. The rules of the alien space are not decided by you and me. , Unless you have the ability to break through the alien space, then you can do whatever you want. If not, just follow the rules here."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, Angel also spoke at the right time: "Now you have only two choices, either buy a new ticket, or come to my exile space for the time being, and I will let you out after leaving."
Doakes had actually guessed why he was targeted by Sicia, but in front of everyone, he was a bit embarrassed, so he deliberately showed off his anger. From the fact that the only objects he cursed at were alchemy puppets and never mentioned Sisia, we could tell that he was actually timid.
Now, Angel directly presented two choices. Doakes did not want to waste everyone's time. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath: "I will change the ticket!"
Angel raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Although he didn't quite understand why Doakes had to choose to change the ticket, it was Doakes' own choice, and Angel would not stop it.
After much hesitation, Doakes took out an extremely exquisite knight's stabbing sword from his space prop.
The appearance of the stabbing sword is somewhat similar to Doakes's red sword, but the energy fluctuations on it are much less. However, from Angel's point of view as an alchemist, this knight stabbing sword is quite well made and can be used almost universally during the apprenticeship period. Moreover, this stabbing sword has been maintained for many years. Compared with a newly refined sword, this kind of old sword is easier to use.
"Do, Doakes, you want to use this sword in exchange for the ticket? Have you thought clearly?" Vai looked at Doakes in astonishment.
Doakes's own expression was actually a little hesitant, but he finally put the bayonet into the Sithia Box: "It's useless anyway, just change it."
As the stabbing sword fell into Sisia's box, Sisia's voice floated out from the box, and this time, everyone heard it.
"It's a bit brave to be able to give up your own sword. It's just that you'd better sew your mouth shut in the future." Sisia's voice was quite cold: "For the sake of Noah's descendants and Angel, let's let it go this time. You, but there’s no next time.”
As he finished speaking, a red light mark floated out of the box and re-suspended in Doakes' palm.
Doakes looked at the ticket that was back in his hand and cursed in his heart: Next time, I promise we will never meet again in this life.
Doakes learned his lesson this time and just complained without speaking out.
With the ticket, Doakes was no longer blocked by the alchemy puppet and successfully stepped onto the ladder from virtuality to reality.
"Let's go." Doakes: "I don't want to stay here any longer."
Angel didn't say anything, turned around and still walked at the front.
Vai came to Doakes and whispered: "I never thought that you would exchange this sword."
Kael was also beside Vai. Hearing Vai's words, he asked curiously: "Does this sword mean anything to Lord Red Sword?"
Vai glanced at Doakes and saw that he didn't care, and then replied: "This is the sword he used before he was promoted to a formal wizard. Moreover, he spent all his savings in Mesomi. It was bought at an auction in Asia and has been used for decades.”
Vai paused: "I suspect that Doakes doesn't have as much affection for the red sword he is using now as this stabbing sword."
Vai's words were not concealed. Angel was walking at the front and heard them. He was also quite surprised and said: "How can you let go of a sword that has such profound meaning to you?"
Doakes said angrily: "I don't want to give it up. However, I feel inexplicably that if I take other people's things again this time, or something with little meaning, the woman will definitely make things difficult for me. I can't help it. Come on, I just took out that sword!"
"Is this inspiration? Your inspiration revived so quickly?"
Doakes: "No, it's just a feeling. I feel like it's the woman who did it."
Angel: "So, this is a test given to you by Sisia."
No wonder Sisia said after getting the sword, "It's a bit brave to be able to give up your own sword." If Doakes brought out other things, Sicia would probably really make things difficult for him.
Doakes: "That stinky woman... is disgusting."
Vai complained in a low voice: "If you didn't say this in the psychic belt, I believe the expression would be stronger."
With the previous lesson, Doakes did not dare to speak casually. If that woman could monitor the entire alien space, wouldn't he suffer again?
However, being complained by Vai also made Doakes a little unhappy: "You are still talking about me. That woman just made it clear that she only let me go for the sake of the descendants of Noah and Angel." Not to mention, I don’t know what the deal was between him and that woman, and it’s normal to be a bit disrespectful to her, but how did you, the Noah family, get involved with this woman? "
Vai also paused at this time, because he didn't know what clues there were, so he could only focus on the Black Earl.
The Black Earl was silent.
At this time, Angel said: "Sicia has an old relationship with an ancestor of Noah. She told me before."
The Black Earl had actually already guessed whether Angel would ask about what he and Sicia had said. Now that Angel took the initiative to say it, he obviously admitted that he had asked.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xicia to mention the Noah family to Angel.
The Black Earl was not angry about this. Angel would rely on "relationships" to ask questions, which was normal in itself. He could speak frankly, which actually dispelled some of the Black Earl's suspicions.
However, the Black Earl also wanted to know how far Angel had reached in his inquiry. This also shows how close the "relationship" between Angel and Sicia is.
Since Angel didn't hide anything, the Black Earl also directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Did Sicia tell you about ancestor Noah?"
Angel: "That's right. I know some general stories, such as the name of the ancestor and the name of a certain master's daughter. Other than that, there's not much... However, the Nuo that Sicia described The ancestors of the Ya clan reminded me of something. "
The Black Earl quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
Angel shrugged: "Let's keep this a secret for now. If it's really necessary, I will tell you then."
It was Angel's own subjective wish whether to say it or not. However, he added the words "I will say it if necessary", which aroused everyone's imagination.
Black Earl: "Is it related to this exploration?"
Angel: "It's unknown at the moment. It's irrelevant. However, if it is related to this exploration, it will be closely related."
After Angel finished speaking, he smiled softly: "Don't worry, once I find any clues related to that matter, I will definitely tell it. If not, it will be useless to tell it."
Doakes muttered: "It's okay to tell us so that we can gain some knowledge..."
Angel smiled and said meaningfully: "If it is related to this exploration, I can tell it for the team. But if it is not, it will not be free if you want me to tell some secrets."
Doakes covered his waist with vigilance: "What do you mean?"
Angel: "It's not interesting, it's just an exchange of equal value."
Angel stopped talking at this point, and then silently muttered in his heart: 1, 2, 3,...
When he kept chanting to 10, a familiar wave connected to Angel.
Black Earl and Angel's private line.
Black Earl: "Are you hinting at me?"
Angel: "Is this a hint? Isn't it clear?"
Angel motioned to Earl Black to look back.
The Black Earl looked back and found that everyone was paying attention to the Black Earl and Angel. Obviously, they all guessed something.
The Black Earl himself also heard Vai's voice in his heart: "Is the superdimensional wizard hinting at you?"
The Black Earl replied speechlessly: "It's a hint, but it's clear."
After cursing, the Black Earl continued to talk to Angel: "It seems that I have taken a fancy to something in me?"
Angel: "Knowledge, does it count?"
The Black Earl smiled lightly: "Forget it, but the price of knowledge is not cheap."
Angel did not answer this sentence, but changed the subject and said: "Didn't Lord Black Earl say before that we can communicate with each other?"
Black Earl: "Yes, but I am talking about my true identity. Do you dare to come to the Noah clan?"
Angel: "It's not a bad idea."
Black Earl: "You come alone."
When Angel heard this, he refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I will definitely have to call Mr. Rhine, Granny Iron Armor, and the mentor, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. If I have to come alone, then I'll do it alone. Forget it, it doesn’t matter if we don’t trade.”
Black Earl: "..."
Black Earl: "Do you know what I'm thinking about now?"
Angel spread his hands and shrugged.
Black Earl: "I'm thinking that you and that wood spirit should be related by blood. I don't know whether you are more timid or it is timid."
Faced with the Black Earl's ridicule, Angel didn't care. He had been going around and around before, but what he actually wanted to change was the crystal ball similar to Vai's. Although Sicia said that this crystal ball has no absolute healing effect on Jon, and at most it can delay the deterioration, it is enough. Angel does not expect to cure Jon immediately, it can delay the deterioration.
In fact, Sanders has prepared several plans to delay the deterioration, but more plans will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
However, Angel doesn't have a fixed plan yet on how to change it to the crystal ball used by the Black Earl.
The so-called transaction is just a precaution in advance.
Maybe Angel can finally get the Black Earl's crystal ball through Vai... After all, Vai used his own crystal ball in exchange for tickets, asked him to customize it, and asked him to set a price. When the time comes, he thinks it's not easy to refine, so he borrows the Black Earl's crystal ball to take a look, and then makes plans, maybe he can succeed.
"Okay, I agree to your deal for the time being. I just hope that the news you bring will not be useless news." After taunting him, the Black Earl agreed to the "equivalent exchange" proposed by Angel before. .
"Then I just hope that this exploration will not overlap with the news of mine, otherwise I will suffer a big loss." Angel said as if praying.
The Black Earl snorted coldly: "I'm not that stingy. It's really useful information. I won't take advantage of it in vain."
Angel immediately expressed his gratitude, with a flattering look of "As expected, the adults have a higher vision."
The Black Earl was about to continue to test whether Angel had obtained other information about the Noah clan from Xixia, but before he could think of what to say, Angel spoke first:
"After leaving the alien space, we will go to find the wood spirit. I got some interesting news about the wood spirit from Xixia."
Angel did not use the Black Earl's private chat channel this time, but spoke directly to everyone.
"Interesting? What do you mean?"
Angel: "You will know after you look at this thing."
Angel said while spreading his hands.
