Chapter 2675 The Forgotten Story

The wise master nodded while listening, seeming to agree with Angel's words, but he was not as surprised as he was at first.

"Just from these clues, you can think about the nodes of the magic energy array, which is very powerful."

Angel smiled and went straight to the short cabinet beside the bed. While searching, he said, "Besides, I have a guess."

The wise ruler narrowed his third eye: "Oh? What's your guess?"

Angel: "Energy cannot arise without a source. Since this is the energy node of the magic energy array, where does this energy come from?"

When the wise master heard this, his expression paused, and then he continued: "Where do you think it comes from?"

Angel opened the short cabinet and took out a small wooden box with a rather delicate appearance, which was also made of deep sea wood.

"Generally speaking, the energy of most magic energy arrays comes from magic crystals. However, if the magic energy array is fixed in position and prepared for long-term operation, and covers a large area, it can only be supported by magic crystals in a short time. OK, but once the time goes by, the consumption will be very terrible, and at this time we will consider the issue of energy circulation. "

Angel opened the wooden box, took a look, and continued.

"For a magic energy array at the level of an underground sewer, energy circulation must be considered. How to create an energy circulation and solve energy problems must be divided into two aspects: when Naraku City is prosperous and after its decline."

"When it was prosperous, there were many underground residents, which naturally brought more benefits. At that time, even if magic crystals were used as consumption, the income was greater than the income. Therefore, when Naraku City was prosperous, there were many choices to solve the problem of energy circulation. It’s not a big problem, so we don’t need to mention it for now.”

"As for how to solve the energy problem of the magic energy array in the underground sewers after the decline? After my observation, I guess that the most likely energy cycle should come from the life energy provided by monsters. The filthy energy in the stinking ditch breeds a large number of monsters. Among the monsters, The battles and deaths between them will be fed back into the magic energy array."

The wise master had already put away his smile and looked at Angel intently.

Angel: "Of course, there may be other energy circulation methods, but I personally prefer monsters to provide life energy. Otherwise, with the ability of the magic energy array, the monsters in the underground water can be completely eliminated, so why let them live? What about back and forth?”

"Since the magic energy array outside can provide life energy for monsters as a cycle, I was thinking, why can't the prison ladder work? Even in the prosperous period, for the residents of Naraku City, the prison ladder held all the prisoners. They are repeat offenders, and they deserve to show some residual enthusiasm before their death."

"So, I guess the energy source here should be provided by the criminals who were originally imprisoned here, right? The criminals definitely did not provide it voluntarily, but were forced to become 'energy providers'."

"And here, a large amount of deep-sea wood is used as furniture, which is not only for energy induction, but also means that a criminal related to the natural system once lived here. Maybe it was a natural wizard, or some kind of person who was full of nature. An extraordinary creature with great power?”

When he heard this, the wise master finally spoke: "Your inferences seem to be based on logic, but many times they are specious. There is no basis for where the guesses come from and where the connections arise."

"But it's strange that the answer you finally came up with is very close to the truth. I'm curious, how do you guess it right every time?"

The Wise Lord previously believed that Angel was a rising star with a strong background, considerable intelligence and great ability.

But in front of him, it was still difficult to hide that childishness. Although he is hiding it, a wise man thinks it is not too difficult to see through his tricks.

But now, Angel was suddenly covered with a layer of fog that made him unable to see clearly.

The wise master does not care about the results of Angel's deduction. What he cares about is how Angel made the deduction? Also, is he really a descendant of Noah? If not, what is his purpose here?

This sudden loss of control made the wise ruler feel a little uneasy.

"Guesses arise from places, and correlations arise from things." Angel said lightly: "This is the basis for my conclusion."

Guess where it comes from? The so-called land refers to underground sewers, or stinking ditches?

Do relationships arise from things? The thing here refers to the deep sea wood?

The wise master frowned slightly. He always felt that Angel was perfunctory, but he couldn't confirm it.

The wise master pondered for a moment: "What is your name?"

"Why do you suddenly want to know my name?" Angel looked at the wise man suspiciously, but the wise man did not explain.

Angel thought: "I don't know who the wise master thinks of, but my identity should not match the names in your mind."

After Angel finished speaking, he no longer looked at the wise master, but stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said to Kael beside him: "We should leave, the wood spirit is not here."

Kael secretly glanced at the Wise Lord, and when he saw that the other party did not continue to say anything, he quickly replied: "Sir, there are still many places here that I have not finished reading."

Although this room is not big, it still takes some effort to perceive it inch by inch.

Moreover, Kael also noticed that Angel actually only looked at one place carefully, which was the wooden box in the short cabinet next to the bed. He didn't look at other places at all and just stopped looking at it.

This made Kael very confused.

"This used to be the cage of a natural criminal, and that criminal was completely sucked out by the magic array. The wood spirit must be able to sense this. Even if this place has become safe, with the character of the wood spirit, it should not stay here."

After all, the wood spirit does not know whether the magic array has changed its energy acquisition method. If it has not changed, wouldn't it repeat the mistakes of the natural criminal if it stayed here?

Seeing that Kael was still puzzled, Angel simply asked the wise master: "Wise master, have you found a wood spirit here before?"

Wise master: "Since you have already "inferred" it, why ask me."

Angel shrugged and said to Kael silently, "See."

"It's time to go."

Because of the wise master's tacit consent, Kael did not refute this time, but followed Angel and prepared to leave.

On the other side, Dox came to the wooden box that Angel had explored before and looked inside curiously.

"You looked so carefully just now, I thought there was something good inside. But there is nothing." Dox walked back to Angel and whispered softly.

"The wooden box made of deep sea wood has been blessed by the energy conduction and can be preserved for a long time, but the things inside are not so lucky." Angel: "Time takes away everything, including those forgotten stories."

Forgotten stories? Dox was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "You sound like you know this story."

Angel smiled faintly and did not speak, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

He really knew this story.

Or, the things that the wise master was confused about before were actually what Angel learned from this story.

...

Back to not long ago, when Angel went to the Dream Wilderness to meet Xixia, he asked about the broken bottom layer and many other questions about the Suspended Prison Ladder.

However, Xixia's understanding of the Suspended Prison Ladder was only general. She knew a lot of important things, but she didn't know much about some details, such as the specific situation of each layer.

But Angel knew these details that Xixia didn't know.

Because he had entered most of the rooms of the Suspended Prison Ladder when he was in the Nightmare Realm. The only ones he didn't enter were the derived spaces, and it was normal for Angel, who was still a mortal at the time, to not be able to find the entrance.

Although Angel knew a lot of details, he couldn't understand many of them.

For example, Angel once found a thin book in the room on the first floor of the Nightmare Realm.

The thin book was originally placed in a wooden box in a low-legged cabinet. It had been eroded by time in reality, but there was still a copy in the Nightmare Realm.

Angel used a holographic tablet to record the contents of the thin book, but he didn't recognize any of the words in the thin book. And even if he knew the characters, he couldn't identify the words on the thin book. So, even if he knew these details, he couldn't do anything about it.

When he was talking about the Suspended Prison Ladder with Xixia in the Dream Wilderness, Angel happened to think of this, so he simulated the thin book with illusion and asked Xixia to identify it.

Finally, it was determined that the text was the Uyisu language.

Xixia roughly translated the text in the thin book, which also let Angel know the story that happened in the room on the first floor...

As the wise master said, Angel's inference has obvious logical faults. This is because his inference is a compilation without cause and effect based on the premise of known results.

The prisoner who was once imprisoned in the room on the first floor was a natural wizard on the elemental side.

The thin book in the wooden box was a diary.

Every entry in the diary was full of hatred and resentment, and the reason was exactly what Angel said before, he was used as an energy source, and the energy in his body was extracted every day and night to supply the magic energy array.

Day after day, year after year. In the end, this natural wizard was completely "eaten away", and on the last page of the diary was the suicide note of this natural wizard.

It recorded his remorse, his love and resentment, his helplessness, his guilt, and his expectations and regrets.

However, not long after his death, Naraku City turned into ruins.

In the end, no one read his diary. As time went by, this diary was eventually buried in the cracks of time and turned into a pile of ash, unknown to anyone.

If it weren't for the coincidence that Angel saw the projection in the Nightmare Realm and recorded this diary on a holographic tablet, perhaps no one in the world would know the story of this natural wizard.

At first, Angel didn't care about this story at all.

Because from beginning to end, this natural wizard never mentioned his name, nor did he say why he was locked up. Angel couldn't even evaluate whether he was good or bad.

However, when he came to this room in person, looked at other decayed props, and then looked at the bright and new deep-sea wood, Angel suddenly remembered those accusations full of blood, hatred and bitter tears.

The ruthlessness of time has made those people, things, and objects forgotten in time have no chance to come back.

Rather than being saddened by the scene, Angel is using this to sigh about his future.

Will he eventually be buried in time?

Angel didn't want to, but it seemed that no one could escape the punishment of time.

Truth, can it?

When Angel was in a trance, he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear: "Why don't you take out that thing? Maybe you can use it to fish and get the fish to take the bait."

After coming back to his senses, the first thing Angel saw was Dox beside him. He was blinking and looking at Angel.

Looking at Dox's expression, Angel understood what he wanted to express.

Since Angel guessed that the original body of the wood spirit was a cane, why not transform the cane and seduce the wood spirit.

Angel didn't mean to not take it, but thought that he would have to go back anyway. When he was sure that there was no way ahead and needed to go back, he would take out the cane.

This can delay time and not expose his identity so quickly.

But now think about it, it doesn't matter whether it is exposed or not. Anyway, the wise man has confirmed with a high probability that he is not a descendant of Noah, so it doesn't matter to transform the cane.

Thinking of this, Angel did not hesitate and took out the four-in-one ornament on the top of the cane from the bracelet, then shook it gently, and smoke appeared.

When the smoke dissipated, a black cane body appeared under the ornament.

The cane head ornament is real, while the cane body is an illusion. The overall shape is exactly the same as the cane in the painting that Butler Good saw in the Igulo family.

After Angel took out the cane, he walked directly towards the stairs without saying a word.

The wise man behind him was stunned for a moment when he saw the cane that suddenly appeared in Angel's hand.

He vaguely felt that the cane head ornament of this cane was a little familiar, especially the logo-like carving on the handle. He seemed to have seen it somewhere?

While thinking back, the wise man followed Angel to step onto the stairs again.

Going to the second floor, Angel still measured step by step, but this time it was much faster than the first floor. In less than three minutes, he saw the new platform.

However, when everyone stepped onto the new platform, except for the Black Earl and the Wise Lord, everyone else was stunned.

Even Angel was stunned.

Because there was no familiar door on this platform, only stairs that continued to go up.

Could it be that this was not the second floor, but just a transfer platform? While everyone was confused, Angel turned his head and looked into the depths of the void.

"Is there anything over there?" Dox asked curiously.

They were in an illusion, and even if they could use their mental power, they could not perceive the situation outside. All they could do was to see with their naked eyes.

And when they looked over with their naked eyes, Dox did not find anything unusual, so he could only ask.

"It seems that there is a road here?" The speaker was Kael.

As Kael spoke, he walked towards the side of the platform. When he came to the edge of the platform, Kael hesitated for a moment and stepped into the void.

He did not fall, and stood steadily in the air.

Dox's eyes lit up: "There is really a road!"
