Chapter 2676 Second Level
Angel was not impressed by the second floor, because the layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor, except for a few more small rooms. Moreover, he did not find anything like a thin book on the second floor.
However, what Angel could be sure of was that there was absolutely no road hidden in the void on the second floor.
The change in the layout here should also be due to the void storm.
Since there was no other way here, Angel did not hesitate and set foot on this invisible road directly.
They walked about a few dozen meters and saw the first room floating in the void...or rather, the remains of the room.
There were no walls or ceilings, only pieces of scattered floor remains.
These floor remains were basically separated, wandering in a very small range, and occasionally closed. Just like the moving wooden planks they passed when they entered the suspension ladder at the beginning.
"Are we going up?" Kael looked at the constantly wandering floor remains and hesitated.
"What, are you scared?"
A slightly mischievous voice came from the side, and Kael knew that it was Dox who was speaking without turning back.
"No." Kael shook his head. He was not afraid, but he had a little shadow when he saw Wai falling into the void. Now, looking at the scattered floor fragments over there, he subconsciously wanted to resist.
"If you are afraid, just admit it. It's okay. Anyway, the academics are always afraid of death. This is recognized. I won't laugh at you."
Before Kael spoke, Wai on the side whispered: "There are more than one academics present."
Dox was stunned for a moment and looked back. Angel ignored him, and the wise master looked at Dox and Kael with curious eyes.
Dox "spit" in his heart. Could this old monster be an academic?
Wise, wise... Generally, these are academics, right?
Dox twitched the corner of his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Kael then spoke up: "I was just wondering, will these broken floors always float around here? If you happen to stand on them and they float away, then wouldn't it be..."
Way swallowed his saliva and continued: "... they will just disappear."
Seeing the two apprentices singing the same tune, Dox said unhappily: "Can't you judge the safe distance yourself? Even if these floors float away, do you think Jin will watch you die?"
Way's exaggerated expression immediately retracted: "That's right."
Dox: "What are you talking about? You didn't come in with your real body. Believe it or not, you are crying here. If you jump down, Jin will not save you... You should beg me, I will come in with you later, not Jin!"
Wai curled his lips: "If you can't find it, don't come in, it's a waste of time."
Dox's eyes were straightened, and his mouth cannon was already in his throat, but before he could fire, the wise master next to him smiled and said: "I think he is right. Now it is equivalent to all of you looking together, but so many people can't find it together, so if you come alone, will you definitely find it?"
"You have to try even if you can't find it." Dox retorted, but his confidence was obviously insufficient.
The wise master said lightly: "If you can't find the wood spirit, you have to take something else out, right? For example, the sparse and dense stone?"
Dox was silent this time. If others said so, he could still refute a few words. Now it was the wise master who said so, and he didn't want to pit himself because of a slip of the tongue.
He was teasing Dox, and on the other side, Angel and the Black Earl had already flown to the wreckage of the floor.
Angel took a rough look and found that there was not much information left on the floor debris, and even the furniture was basically broken.
The only thing left on the floor was the light source tube made of fluorite, but it was also broken into pieces.
After going back and forth between several floors, Angel still did not find any clues. He looked at the Black Earl, and the Black Earl also shook the stone slab left and right.
The Black Earl had come here before, but he did not find any clues.
Angel sighed and looked at the others. Dox also flew to the wooden board at this time, looking left and right from time to time, and occasionally touching it, but from what he touched, it can be seen that he should not be looking for wood spirits, but purely interested in the materials of some debris.
The Wise Lord and Wai stayed on the Void Road. Wai was worried that he would increase Angel's computing power when he went there, and the Wise Lord was just watching the fun.
However, when Angel's eyes met with the Wise Lord, the Wise Lord did not stay out of it and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, you can ask me. For example, is the wood spirit here? Although I don't know its exact location, I can give you a rough judgment." "However, the questions are still equal. As long as I answer your question, you must also answer one of mine." Before, the wise man had ended the mutual questioning outside, but now he suddenly brought it up again. Obviously, the wise man was full of doubts about Angel's series of performances after entering the ladder of the hanging prison. Looking at the wise man's bright eyes, Angel whispered: "If necessary, I will definitely ask the wise master." On the contrary, still. The wise master shrugged indifferently. Even if Angel made up his mind not to ask questions, he could find the answers to the questions he wanted to know through observation or other methods.
After bypassing the wise master, Angel looked at the only real person present besides him: Kael.
Kael was standing at the edge of the floor, carefully observing every broken wreckage.
Angel walked closer and found that Kael was holding a photo stone in one hand and a microscope-like observation instrument in the other hand, conducting an in-depth study of a broken floor in front of him.
"Are you still worried about floating away?" Angel: "Don't worry, although the floor is broken into pieces, they are bound by the magic array and will only move nearby, not far away."
Kael saw Angel coming to him and stood up quickly: "No, no. I just have a guess."
Angel: "Guess? If it is related to the wood spirit, why not tell me?"
Kael: "I once read a book about a heavy armored knight who was exiled from a foreign land."
Angel raised his eyebrows: "Heavy armored knight...novel? "Dorago Knight and the Devil's Castle"? "
Kael was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened: "Big, big, have you read it too?"
Angel Er: "I have only read a book with a heavy-armored knight as the protagonist, but this book doesn't seem to be about exile, but falling into some demon world..."
"Blood...blood demon world." Kael scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he said this: "This is made up by the author himself, so I'm embarrassed."
"I know that ordinary people's imagination of the extraordinary world is based on their own cognition. It's nothing more than fighting and killing, coming and going, and opposing camps. Where there are humans, there must be a world where demons live."
Angel said it very calmly, as if he disdained these books, but in fact, after becoming a gifted person, Angel loved reading this kind of book for a while. First, Moro didn't teach him the guidance method, so he could only fantasize about the extraordinary world through this kind of novel; second, during the period on the Bauhinia, there was really nothing else to do, and reading novels became his only pastime.
Angel: "Why, did this book give you inspiration?"
"Not really inspiration, but there is a plot in it that I still remember clearly." After Kael confirmed that Angel had read the book, he did not tell the outline, but directly told the plot, "When Knight Dorago first entered the Devil's Castle, he hid in the corridor of the castle to avoid the cannibals who were chasing him..."
After listening to Kael's story, Angel understood what he meant.
Knight Dorago was a heavy armor knight, wearing heavy armor all over his body. In the corridor of the Devil's Castle, how could he avoid the cannibals who were chasing him? His method was very simple. He put on a helmet and stood next to an oil painting, pretending to be an armored sculpture, and successfully avoided the difficulty.
To put it bluntly, it is dark under the lamp. Or, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Kael thought, maybe the wood spirit also thought so, so would it disguise itself as a wooden board and hide under their noses.
Therefore, Kael carefully observed each wooden board one by one.
"Your idea is good, but the wood spirit should not do such a thing. Its hiding should be the literal meaning of hiding, not playing tricks." After Angel finished speaking, he looked not far away: "Wise Lord, what do you think?"
Wise Lord: "Are you asking me this?"
Angel: "If the Wise Lord has a very urgent question to ask me, you might as well ask it directly. I can use it as a reference to see if I should treat this question as an inquiry."
Looking at Angel's straight eyes, the Wise Lord said lightly: "When you really need to ask me a question, it's not too late. As for these irrelevant questions, haven't you guessed it yourself?"
The words of the Wise Lord indirectly confirmed that Angel's guess was correct.
The timid character of the wood spirit is not to play the way of playing under the lamp. It has a hidden talent, so there is no need to test the edge of danger. Moreover, a wood spirit whose cognition is basically blank, can it play tricks to beat the black earl? If it is under the lamp, the black earl must have found it before.
Although Mu Ling would not play the dark under the lamp, Angel still searched all the hidden places in this area.
The result was the same as that of the Black Earl, nothing was found.
Not finding it does not mean that Mu Ling is not here. Maybe Mu Ling's hidden talent is so strong that they can't find it even if all of them search together.
Although this is possible, Angel is still ready to leave here. If he really missed it, it can only be said to be fate.
Besides, the Black Earl didn't find it, so it's not shameful for him to find it.
Thinking of this, Angel said hello to everyone, then returned to the void road and continued to move forward.
Since Angel had left, it was meaningless for others to stay here, so they naturally followed him.
This time, they walked nearly a hundred meters in the void before they saw the ruins of the second room. It was also like the ruins of the first room, floating in the air, with a large number of fragments floating around.
However, compared with the first room, this room is better preserved. Although the ceiling is gone, three of the four walls are still preserved, which is much better than the bare first room.
Moreover, there were more items left in this room than in the first room. This also gave the wood spirit more hiding space.
When he came to the ruins of the second room, the first thing Angle saw was a painting hanging on the wall.
Or, in other words, everyone's eyes were focused on the painting at the first moment. Because this is obviously different from the other rooms. The other rooms are just an empty "cell", but here there is an extra work of art, which naturally attracts attention.
From a distance, there is a human figure in the center of the painting, but it is not very clear.
Dox, relying on his high skills and courage, directly leaned forward to look.
However, when Dox just came to the picture and wanted to take a closer look, he turned into a black mist, and the wind blew and completely dissipated.
In the public eye, Dox died directly, and this death was full of weirdness.
Kael couldn't help but retreat again and again. He almost rushed to the front of the painting just now. If it was him at that time, wouldn't he also follow in Dox's footsteps? But Dox still has a chance to revive, while he will die.
"What's going on?" Kael asked with some fear.
"Trap." Angel pointed to the picture frame: "He just touched the middle frame of the picture, there is a trap there."
"Is this the picture frame trap you encountered before?" Angel turned his head and looked at the Black Earl.
The Black Earl did not deny it and nodded: "Yes."
"What kind of trap is this that can make people die silently?" Kael asked in confusion.
The Black Earl: "A stale trap that will spray out a poisonous mist. However, the effect of the poisonous mist is already very weak, and it basically has no effect, just a little smelly."
Dox: "Then this poisonous mist is not strong, why did he die directly..."
Angel: "You didn't come in real body, it's just an illusion. If it's an illusion, let's just assume that you are ordinary people. When you encounter this poisonous mist, no matter how stale it is, the fate of ordinary people must be death."
After listening to Angel's serious explanation, everyone didn't speak, but they said silently in their hearts: Who would believe this excuse! This is definitely made to save computing power...
Although everyone has their own ideas, no one speaks up, after all, saving computing power is also for better live broadcasting.
Dox sacrificed himself for everyone to have a better experience.
Besides, can't Dox come back?
When everyone was thinking this, Dox had already appeared in front of them. He was very fast, and he probably ran up in a sprint.
As soon as Dox came nearby, he immediately locked onto Angell and rushed over with great momentum.
Angell: "Ordinary people would be out of breath if they sprinted at full speed and climbed such a high staircase. Maybe it would cause sudden death or something?"
Hearing "sudden death", Dox's expression changed immediately.
This is a threat!
Is he a person who eats threats? !
Yes. He is.
Dox stopped instantly: "It's true that I'm a little out of breath, but I'll be fine after walking for a while, just walking for a while."
Dox turned around and walked away from Angell without any backbone.
Seeing that Dox was sensible, Angell didn't really let him "die suddenly", but focused his attention on the painting again.
He always felt that there was something wrong with this painting.
"The wood spirit is not here." Seeing that Angell was interested in the painting, the Black Count whispered, "This is the answer given by the Wise Lord."
Angel also heard the conversation between the Black Count and the Wise Lord after he entered the Ladder of the Hanging Prison. At that time, the Black Count came to a room with a painting, and the Wise Lord encouraged him to touch the frame of the painting.
The Black Count touched the painting and naturally encountered a trap. In this regard, the Wise Lord explained: I am also reminding you that there is a trap in this room, and the wood spirit will definitely not be here.
Since the Wise Lord is sure that there is no wood spirit here, there is no need to waste time here.
This is the idea of the Black Count.
However, Angell has other ideas, because if he remembers correctly, this painting does not seem to be on the second floor...
