Section 2667 Bonus Conditions
Angel: "Concerning the matter of the Wise Lord, I asked Miss Xixia in more detail. The Wise Lord should be able to understand it, right?"
The wise man did not speak, but nodded slightly.
"It would be great if the wise master can understand. Miss Xixia said a lot, and I'm afraid that some things may offend you." Angel showed happiness and interest on his face, but he was thinking in his heart It's something else entirely.
The wise man's nod made Angel gradually doubt one of the escape routes he had previously imagined.
A wise person should know very well that the reason why Angel asked Sicia about him in detail was precisely because their destination was the legacy of Augustine.
To get to the destination, you naturally have to pass through the main hall where he is. Therefore, it is normal to know his situation in advance.
However, before that, Angel actually had a way out.
Find other underground sewer passages that do not pass through the Wise Man's Hall.
But the wise man's nod made Angel start to doubt whether there was a "way out".
In the underground waterway of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, Angel can be sure that there must be other passages that do not need to go through the Hall of Wise Men.
But reality is different. In reality, there are ruins everywhere, and the entrances have basically disappeared, or are controlled by traveling merchant organizations. Therefore, whether there is such an entrance is already uncertain, and coupled with the magic energy array in the underground waterway, It is the wise man who is doing the maintenance. If he wants to change the roads, or completely block some roads, it is perfectly fine.
In other words, the nod of the wise man actually means a statement: if they want to reach their destination, they have no other choice and must pass through the hall of the wise man.
In other words, there is and is the only way to go to the Hall of Wise Men.
Angel suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and said to the wise man: "Then I will start talking."
The wise man still just nodded and stared at Angel.
Next, Angel began to tell about the information he asked Xicia about the wise man.
The content is roughly divided into three parts: the exchange of wood spirit treasures, learning the pen name of the wise man and the submitted works, and the most critical thing, which is also Angel's largest lecture, is how to get the wise man to agree to take the road.
"...That's about it."
The wise man pondered for a moment. He believed that Angel was not lying, because this was indeed the limit of what Sicia knew and what she could say.
What only made the wise man feel a little embarrassed was that Sicia actually told Angel about all his research topics.
I originally gave the topic I published to Xixia, just to relieve her loneliness because she had been bored for thousands of years. She thought that she couldn't leave the box too far, and no one had come to the alien space for hundreds of years, so it would definitely not spread. Unexpectedly, outsiders eventually found out.
In fact, when studying the subject of the blending posture of witches, eyes and ghosts, a wise man does not care about being seen by others. He publishes and publishes it outside, which itself is for the public to see.
The wise man is embarrassed by his pen name.
Fatty Blue.
This is really inconsistent with his character.
The most important thing is that the pen name "Blue Fatty" was not chosen by him. If he had chosen it himself, then that would be fine. However, this pen name did not come from his original intention at all, but was chosen by Dumu Xiaobao.
Younu split into three offspring, namely Dumu Dabao, Dumu Erbao and Dumu Xiaobao.
The one-eyed Xiaobao is the youngest of Younu's three children, the one who ran into the 'dog hole' near the mud monster not long ago.
At the beginning, the wise man handed the written manuscript to the lively and lively one-eyed little treasure who happened to come to visit his mother, and handed it over to the operator arranged outside. At that time, the wise man had not chosen a pen name. Dumu Xiaobao asked him what pen name he wanted to choose. The wise man said "casual", and then Dumu Xiaobao really became "casual", so he got a shameful pen name like Fatty Lan.
When he learned about this pen name, the wise man thought it was a bit unpleasant, but he didn't pay too much attention to it because he believed that no one would know that behind the pen name "Fat Blue" was a three-eyed blue devil who had lived for ten thousand years.
Unexpectedly, thousands of calculations ended up overturning the car here in Xixia.
The wise man wanted to explain to Angel the truth about the pen name, but this was too deliberate, as if he cared about the pen name.
Although he does care a little now, he doesn't want outsiders to see how much he cares.
There is no way, the wise man can only smile and pretend not to hear.
Wise Man: "Let's not mention anything else for now. Are you here outside the prison ladder just for the sake of the wood spirit?"
Angel nodded: "Yes, Sisia's suggestion is to start with the wood spirit. If you take the wood spirit out of the prison ladder, you may be able to please the wise master."
At this point, Angel asked curiously: "So, is this suggestion given by Sicia feasible?"
The wise men did not expect that Sisia would give them this advice.
Thinking about it carefully, if that person didn't show up and just followed the script given by Xixia, and they successfully brought out the wood spirit, he really wouldn't mind lending them a path.
The wise man did not hide anything and replied: "If there are no accidents, this suggestion is feasible. However, even if you find the wood spirit with the treasure left by the wood spirit in Xixia, the chance of bringing the wood spirit out is close to zero. ”
Angel: "How will you know if you don't try?"
The wise man looked at Angel's confident expression, chuckled and shook his head: "The premise I just mentioned was 'if there are no accidents'. Unfortunately, an accident has happened now. So, even if you really bring out the wood spirit, I can only regard this as a bonus condition, not a necessary condition."
An accident has happened? Everyone caught the key point in the wise man's words. What is this so-called accident?
While everyone was thinking, Angel said, "It's my turn to ask now, right?"
The wise man nodded indifferently, "Okay, but I guess you want to know what the 'accident' I mentioned is, right? Unfortunately, I can't answer this."
Angel: "As expected of the wise master, you see through me completely..."
Angel said casually, and then immediately turned to say, "Then I'll ask a yes or no question, okay?"
The wise man looked at Angel deeply, "Okay, if I can't answer, I will choose to remain silent."
Angel: "Okay, the question I want to ask is..."
Angel was just halfway through his words when Dox on the side suddenly said, "Hey, did you forget about me? Didn't you say that I would be the judge? Why don't you ask me?"
The wise man was also asked by Dox so suddenly, and laughed: "What happened to him in the Box of Scia, how do you know? Even if he tells you, are you sure what he said is true? Is it all?"
Just because what Angel said before was what happened in the Box of Scia, the wise man knew very well that Dox definitely didn't know all of it, so he simply didn't ask.
Dox: "I really don't know, but I can make a judgment."
Without waiting for others to answer, Dox said to himself: "The wise master said before that answering questions is a bonus condition. Now finding the wood spirit and bringing it out is also a bonus condition. These bonus conditions accumulated should be enough for the wise master to take action when we are in danger, right?"
Hearing Dox's question, Angel laughed in his heart. He thought Dox was going to repeat the old trick and continue to muddy the water, making the wise man consider more and more complicated questions.
Unexpectedly, Dox did not muddy the water this time, but jumped out to ask questions directly. Moreover, the question he asked really happened to supplement some details that Angel wanted to ask.
The wise man narrowed his eyes and looked at Dox. Dox hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, you can ask and answer him, I have helped you comment several times, give me a chance?"
Dox's words, to put it bluntly, hinted to the wise man: you can exchange questions and answers with him, I have answered several times in vain, and you should let me ask questions.
It must be said that Dox chose the right time. His previous comments were serious and honest, without any tricks.
If Dox lied, he really didn't have the confidence to interrupt. But he kept answering honestly, which made the wise man embarrassed to get something for free.
After pondering for a moment, the wise man finally answered Dox's question: "I can't help you, I can only help to a limited extent."
This answer is actually similar to the previous one, but this time the wise man clearly said that he couldn't help.
This gave Angel a big hint. The wise man is not unable to help, but he can't do it for this.
As for the reason, combined with the details he noticed before, he roughly had a guess in his mind.
Angel silently gave Dox a thumbs up in his heart. Unlike his usual carelessness, Dox was quite reliable in an emergency.
After answering Dox's question, the wise man turned his head to look at Angel, indicating that he could ask questions.
Angell sorted out his words a little and said, "I have been wondering why there are necessary conditions and bonus conditions. Is it because the necessary condition is the meaning conveyed to the wise master by a certain intelligent creature in Augustine's legacy?"
The wise man did not answer, which meant silence.
Angel did not care and continued to ask, "If the wise master must stop us, there is no need to come up with necessary conditions and bonus conditions. So, the necessary condition is the meaning of that person, and the bonus condition is the meaning of the wise master?"
The wise man smiled and remained silent.
Angel: "The Wise Lord obeyed that person's wishes and took the initiative to 'test' us, which is not in line with the Wise Lord's personality. And from Miss Xixia, I know that the Wise Lord will not be willing to be inferior to others."
"So, I wonder if the Wise Lord has some subtle connection with that existence, which makes you willing to take the initiative to 'test' us. And this subtle connection may be... a contract? Or does the Wise Lord need him?"
The wise man remained silent, but his eyes looking at Angel were much brighter than before.
"Let me talk about the bonus points mentioned by the Wise Lord. In essence, this is in conflict with the necessary conditions."
It's like a killer gets an order to kill someone, but the killer comes to this person and tells him, I want to kill you, but if you meet these bonus conditions, I can help you escape from being killed at my discretion.
Necessary conditions and bonus conditions are undoubtedly contradictory.
"So, the wise master is not actually on the same page with that person. In fact, you also want to use us to get some information from that person, right?"
The wise master finally spoke this time, but he did not answer Angel's question. Instead, he smiled and said, "I underestimated you. Even without communication, you cooperated very well."
The "you" in the wise master's mouth naturally refers to Angel and Dox.
Before Angel could express his position, Doakes said calmly: "That's natural. He and I will become close friends in the future."
"The future? So you haven't reached it yet." After the wise man finished speaking, he looked at Angel meaningfully.
Doakes protested in a low voice: "What is clinging to? I am making friends!"
The eyes of the wise man are very sharp. Doakes said that it is to make friends, which is somewhat true, but the meaning of hugging is stronger. In the wise man's view, the possibility of Angel being a member of the Noah family is even higher. .
Because according to the information obtained by the wise men, the Noah family is now considered one of the top wizard families in the Southern Region. It's normal for descendants of Noah to be hugged by other wizards.
The wise man turned his attention to Angel again: "Whether I answer the question you asked or not actually doesn't matter to you. You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
"You can interpret the 'accident' yourself, which makes me think favorably of you."
Angel: "Optimistic? What do you mean?"
Wise Man: “Literally, the ability to adapt in the face of ‘accidents’.”
Angel wanted to continue asking, but the wise man shook his hand: "I can't say anymore. If you have the ability, you might as well go and see for yourself."
Angel was noncommittal: "Since the wise master has asked us to see it in person, can you tell me what the 'necessary conditions' are now?"
Wise Man: “Are you sure you want to listen now?”
Angel: "Can't you listen now? Could it be that there are different answers?"
Wise Man: "I mentioned the necessary conditions and bonus conditions before. If you complete my bonus conditions, I may be able to give you a more detailed answer."
Angel looked at the wise man's smiling face and couldn't help but cursed "cunning" in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face and said: "Then our communication is not over yet? If the communication is over, this can be considered a plus. Conditionally?"
Wise Man: "The communication can end at any time, so I can add this bonus condition to you. But, are you sure you don't want to hear a more in-depth answer?"
Angel: "You want a more in-depth answer? Does that mean we need to do other extra-point conditional tasks?"
A wise man smiles but says nothing.
Angel: "So, the Wise Lord still plans to let us try the task of bringing out the wood spirit? The Wise Lord has said before that the chance of us bringing out the wood spirit is very, very low."
But the wise man smiled: "I said so, but you also answered with confidence. You have to try it to know."
After a pause, the wise man continued: "Before, I was not optimistic about you. But now, maybe you really have a way to bring out my student with a weird personality."
The wise man said words of praise, but Angel always felt that the wise man must have other purposes.
He said before that the wood spirit was difficult to bring out, and it was absolutely true.
Now he suddenly changed his story. Maybe he saw something and wanted to collect more information from them?
