Chapter 2674 Deep Sea Wood
Half the time means half the distance.
In other words, this seems to be a broken but continuous staircase. In fact, it was once broken and missing, but was later reintegrated.
Reintegrating the broken stairs will involve a double connection between the material world and the energy world, that is, the connection between the stone steps and the magic energy array. The difficulty here is extraordinary.
Previously, the wise master had vaguely mentioned that it was not him who repaired the magic energy array here, but a person they would eventually meet.
Could it be the behind-the-scenes being hiding in the dark and letting the wise men come out to stop them?
While Angel was thinking silently, everyone had already arrived at the door.
"The door is actually made of wood. This doesn't look like a prison." Doakes muttered.
"Then what do you think is like a prison?" the wise master asked with a smile.
"If nothing else, the cell must at least be able to trap people. This wood is not very strong at first glance. It is not as hard as the previous dense stone floor." Doakes said while gesturing: "In front of the door This platform is quite spacious, and you can put a few gargoyles as guards. If that doesn’t work, alchemy puppets can also be arranged.”
Seeing Doakes's eyes getting brighter as he talked, Angel finally couldn't help but said: "Dense stone is not good either. Although it can be preserved for a long time, it will still be shattered when encountering a void storm. The best, Even if you use Void Secret Stone, it will last for a long time and will not be afraid of void storms. It is also the main material for casting spells in the planes. It is expensive, easy to carry, and easy to identify. "Hong, you said, right?"
When Doakes heard the first half, he was still listening with interest and nodded repeatedly; but when Angel said 'expensive and easy to carry', Doakes immediately reacted: "I was thinking about why you suddenly Agreeing with me is indeed a lie. Do you think I am such a superficial person?”
"Yeah." Angel nodded.
Doakes looked angrily: "Well... what a lousy sandworm! I'm just raising reasonable doubts about the anomalies here, and maybe I can help you find some clues."
"Oh, then I misunderstood you." Angel said these words expressionlessly, making people feel no trace of apology and could only see the perfunctory expression.
Doakes wanted to say something, but he held back. Because, in his heart, he was really what Angel imagined... Even when he was thinking about what material to use to make the prison door, the first thing that flashed in his mind was the Void Secret Stone.
How did this guy guess his thoughts so accurately?
Could it be this live broadcast illusion?
While Doakes was thinking wildly, the voice of the wise master came to his ears again: "What you just said is right. The purpose of establishing a prison is to trap people."
"But does it have to be a solid cage to trap a person? Also, does it mean that if a person is trapped in the material world, he is trapped?"
"Also, do you think that if all the doors of the prison ladder are opened, the prisoners inside can escape?"
"That's true. The prison ladder was built in the hinterland of the underground labyrinth thousands of years ago. If a prisoner really wants to escape, it will be difficult to escape." Doakes: "However, according to the wishes of the wise master, the existence of the cage is not Isn’t it necessary? The prison ladder is not necessary either.”
The wise ruler said: "The existence of the cage is of course necessary. Even if its door is open, it will always remind you that you cannot escape. This is your destination."
When the wise master said these words, he still squinted and smiled, with three eyes squinting at the same time. With the triangular structure of the glasses, he was like a clown, as funny as he wanted.
However, neither Doakes nor anyone else could laugh.
They are not stupid either. The wise master seems to be smiling, but from his words, one can understand the sadness in his heart.
Isn't this huge underground labyrinth a prison cell dominated by wise men? In addition to sticking to one place, being lonely for thousands of years is also the punishment for wise rulers. This punishment is even more terrible than the prisoners who died on the prison ladder.
While everyone was still lamenting the plight of the wise man, Angel's voice broke the silent atmosphere: "If we talk about it more broadly, isn't this continent and this world also a prison?"
Angel turned his head and glanced at the wise master, and then said calmly: "It's time to go in and take a look, or do you think the wood spirit is outside?"
After Angel finished speaking, he ignored everyone and stepped directly into the wooden door on the first floor.
The wise master looked at Angel's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
…
Doakes, who had recovered from the sensual atmosphere, felt slightly strange in his heart when he looked at Angel who had gone away.
Angel's sudden interruption of the immersive atmosphere just now was a slightly rude behavior in itself. Based on Doakes' understanding of Angel, although he often has a bad taste, he is always very superficial when it comes to etiquette.
This time something was wrong.
Doakes couldn't help but look at Earl Black, wanting to see Earl Black's reaction, but found that Earl Black's slate was quietly facing the wise master.
The wise master looked at the Black Earl with a smile.
Noticing Doakes's glance, the wise master smiled back at him.
Seeing this smile, Doakes felt a thump in his heart.
He now understands what is wrong. What kind of person is the Wise Master? How could he not be able to control his emotions after staying in the underground maze for so long?
The emotional atmosphere, and they thought they sensed the sadness in the heart of the wise master. Think about it carefully, how is this possible? How can he be so easily seen through if he can be called a wise man?
In other words, the wise master just created the atmosphere deliberately?
Why did he do this? Just to deceive them?
No. Deception is not the purpose. Through this means, to test someone, or to obtain certain information, is the purpose of the wise master?
When Dox was thinking secretly, the wise master smiled and said: "This illusion live broadcast is a bit interesting, and the person who releases the illusion is even more interesting."
"What do you mean?" Dox asked suspiciously.
"This illusion can vaguely touch the emotions in your heart. Don't you think it's interesting?" After the wise master finished speaking, he walked into the wooden door without much explanation.
Dox understood a little at this time: "He, he was testing Jin's ability just now?"
The object of Dox's inquiry was naturally the Black Earl.
The Black Count sneered: "Do you think he is just testing Jin? Didn't you give any emotional feedback?"
The Black Count's meaning was very straightforward. The Wise Lord was not only testing Angel, but also looking at the feedback from everyone.
To put it bluntly, he relied on his mouth to take advantage of their unpreparedness, exaggerate emotions, raise the atmosphere, and gain feedback.
The only two people who saw through it were Angel and the Black Count. But their insight also showed their own uniqueness, and also brought new information to the Wise Lord.
This is indeed the case. At this time, the Wise Lord was less and less convinced that Angel was a descendant of Noah.
However, the Black Count's Noah identity was getting higher and higher.
…
On the other side, Angel was also a little depressed. Because the Wise Lord's temptation seemed to be only with his mouth, but in fact, it was through the shell of his live broadcast illusion that everyone entered the empathy state.
This made Angel regret that he should not have included the Wise Lord in the illusion.
Fortunately, the main target of the Wise Lord was him and the Black Count. The Black Count was not afraid of being tested. As a clone, the Black Count was full of confidence. No matter what the Wise Lord wanted to do, as long as he died, the original body would come to make trouble. At that time, as the Wise Lord who was passively defending one side, if he did not abandon the underground maze, he would inevitably fall into a disadvantage. But once abandoned, the ten thousand years of waiting would be in vain. So, the Black Count was safe.
And Angel himself had given up resistance. The Wise Lord could definitely see that he was not a descendant of Noah, and was just testing his ability now.
Let it be seen, Angel didn't care anyway. As for testing ability, the Wise Lord tested it wrongly.
He thought that Angel could sense emotions because the illusion enveloped them and the power of illusion was monitoring their emotions. In fact, this immersive live illusion was really just an ordinary illusion. Angel's emotional perception came from his talent.
So, although the wise master probed out some information, it was not too bad, with some right and some wrong.
However, after this, Angel had a further understanding of the ability of the wise master.
This ability does not refer to the killing technique. It is the wise master's mouth skills and performance ability.
He did not consume any energy, performed a clown, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. He looked at the various forms of life with great clarity, and relied on his mouth to render the atmosphere to the place of empathy.
It must be said that the qualitative change of the wise master, who is old and immortal, after countless accumulations, is quite terrible.
While Angel was thinking, there was an obvious movement behind him. Obviously, the others had come to their senses at this time and walked into the door.
Angel also put away his emotions, temporarily put aside the idea of fighting with the wise man in thinking, and began to observe this room that was not unfamiliar.
...
After everyone entered the wooden door, almost everyone had the same consensus in their hearts
"Isn't this a little... too small?"
The size of the room is about the same as that of a single room in a hotel. It sounds okay, but you have to know that this is a prison. They thought that there would be a long corridor behind the wooden door, and different cells would be separated in the corridor. But what is completely different from their imagination is that there is such a small room directly behind the wooden door.
According to the answer of the wise master, this is the cell. The first-level cell is indeed only this big.
Looking at this cramped room, even Kael, who was only concerned with manipulating the photo stone all the way, couldn't help but say: "Build such a long staircase just for such a small room?"
Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent?
"Or are the other rooms here damaged?"
The wise man heard Kael's question, but did not respond. He just smiled at the corner of his mouth and glanced at the cramped room lightly.
Angell said, "There are no other rooms here, only this one. There must be a reason why the room is so small."
After a pause, Angell said softly under the gaze of everyone, "This is an important node of the magic array inside the Suspended Prison Ladder."
The Wise Lord looked at Angell in surprise: "How did you see that?"
"I didn't see it, I just guessed it. But now, I can basically be sure that my guess is correct." Angell looked at the Wise Lord, and the other party's reaction told Angell that his guess was right.
The Wise Lord chuckled: "So, you are deceiving me?"
Angel ignored the question and didn't answer. If you cheat, I will cheat too. Anyway, we all have contacts and test each other's information.
Angel walked to one side of the room and while looking around, he said: "The bed is made of sea cypress wood, the table is made of sea poplar wood, and the floor is made of sea birch... Everything here is made of deep sea wood. ”
"Don't you think it's strange that Deep Sea Wood appears here?"
"What's strange? Deep Sea Wood has a large production capacity, the price is not high, and the energy-guiding effect is also very good." The wise master asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Because the time is unreasonable." Angel: "The biggest effect of Deep Sea Wood is to promote energy transmission. However, have you ever heard that Deep Sea Wood has immortal properties?"
As soon as Angel finished speaking, Kael seemed to have thought of something and touched the bed made of deep sea wood beside him.
Kael's movement was not gentle, but the wooden bed only shook with his strength, without any signs of decay.
"How come it's intact? Thousands of years have passed and nothing has happened?" Kael asked in confusion.
"This is the abnormality I want to say. I know that due to the growth environment of deep sea wood, its resistance to external pressure is much higher than that of other woods. However, no matter how pressure-resistant wood is, it cannot escape the corrosion of time. But now come Look, time has not corroded it, the large shaking movement has not caused it to fall apart, and most importantly, even the void storm has not completely destroyed it.”
Wise Master: "Is this how you inferred that this is the node of the magic energy array?"
Angel shook his head: "I said, I didn't infer it, I just thought it was strange here. Looking at these immortal trees, I made a guess."
"When will deep-sea wood not decay? The answer is that carrying a large amount of energy of the same nature will greatly change the decay benchmark of deep-sea wood. Therefore, I guess this room once carried huge energy. This energy is gentle. It is not violent and has the same nature as the deep sea wood. It is only through the long-term energy influence that the deep sea wood maintains its immortal posture. "
"And what energy can meet the requirements of: strength, stability and durability? All I can think of is the energy nodes of the magic energy array."
After listening to Angel's words, everyone still had a lot of doubts, but judging from the reaction of the wise master, Angel should be right. This is indeed an important node of the magic energy array.
