Chapter 2680 Attack Methods

"Sure enough, it's all fake." Doakes looked at Angel's back that suddenly accelerated, and couldn't help thinking to himself. He was walking slowly before, saying that walking too fast was a waste of energy; but now he suddenly runs so fast, no one will believe you. It consumes a lot of computing power.

When we were in Princess Town, we knew that Angel was evil and evil, so we should be suspicious of what he said.

Doakes followed him while cursing.

He decided to question Angel properly. Since it obviously didn't consume much computing power, why did he have to run away all over again if he died?

Doakes was so concerned about Angel's computing power consumption because he "died" after touching the frame before and then ran all the way again. "Zombie running" is a kind of fun to watch others running, but it would be very embarrassing if it were you.

In particular, the scene of him running away was witnessed by Vai and Kael.

That's all for Vai. Anyway, it's not uncommon for Vai to be an otaku. But Kael lives in the Sandworm Market. When he sees Kael in the future, wouldn't it remind him of this miserable royal family... How can he have the face to return to the Cross Tavern?

Full of resentment, Doakes caught up with Angel.

But when he was about to ask, Angel stopped with a serious look on his face, looked back at the others, and then looked ahead with suspicion.

What's going on? Did you find anything?

Doakes looked around with confusion, trying to see if there was anything wrong. However, he could not see anything with his naked eyes. He was mentally unable to penetrate the prison ladder, so he could only look at Angel with doubt.

Angel: "There is a fork in the road here."

Doakes looked at the direction of Angel's finger. If he looked carefully, there was indeed an obvious bifurcation, and they were in two completely different directions, but...

"Is there anything unusual about the fork in the road?"

Angel: "Nothing unusual."

Doakes looked suspicious: "If there is nothing abnormal, why did you stop?"

Angel: "I'm thinking about which way to go first."

Doakes: "..." I'm just thinking about which way to go. Do I need to put on such a solemn expression? Moreover, it doesn't make any difference which way you go first. Anyway, if you don't encounter it, you don't have to go back and take another way.

Angel turned his head: "Which way do you think is better?"

Doakes was stunned for a moment, why did these words seem familiar?

Two seconds later, Doakes replied hesitantly: "My inspiration talent has not recovered yet."

Angel: "I'm just lazy and don't want to make a decision. Since you don't want to make a decision, then leave it to God."

Lazy? Leave it to God? Before Doakes could figure out his intention, he saw Angel throw the cane in his hand into the sky. After the cane went through several rotations in mid-air, it finally stood straight in the middle of the fork in the road.

After the cane landed, there was a brief stagnation, and then it began to spin like a gyro with the tail of the cane as the fixed point.

Seeing this scene, Doakes probably understood what Angel was going to do...use his staff to ask for directions.

"Do you know prophecy? Do you mean the stars guide the way, or do you use the staff matchmaking technique of the good luck series? Or, do you guide destiny?"

Stars Guidance is a level 3 trick, a stargazing technique of the astrological coordinate axis school, which requires the use of a staff as a medium to ask for directions. The good luck spell is a trick of the Asking Bell School. It has a series of prophecies using the staff as a catalyst.

As for Destiny Guidance, it is a Level 2 spell of the String of Destiny School. It is a more advanced prophecy spell that can only be accessed by at least Level 1 Peak or True Knowledge level wizards. Doakes definitely doesn't believe that Angel can guide fate. The reason why he includes guidance of fate is purely a joke.

Angel shook his head: "No, this is..."

Angel was silent for a long time, and then slowly uttered the word: "...God's will."

Doakes looked at the serious Angel and was stunned for a moment before he understood what Angel meant: "You didn't use prophecy? Is this purely fortune-telling?"

Angel pondered for a moment and said in a profound tone: "It's not just about fortune, it's also about face."

"What does it mean to look at faces?" Vai also came up and asked curiously.

"I'll have to ask him now." Angel looked at Doakes with meaning.

Doakes pointed at himself and opened his mouth silently: Ask me? How do I know?

Angel: "Didn't you just say that maybe the wood spirit knows me? If this comes true, wouldn't it just look good?"

Doakes: "...Are you serious?"

Angel smiled and said, "How about you guess?"

Doakes really thought about it for a second. Angel's reply seemed to be a joke, and it could be seen from the feedback on other people's expressions that everyone thought Angel was joking. But the strange thing is that Doakes somehow felt that what Angel said was true, at least half of it was true, but he used jokes to cover up his true thoughts.

So, does Angel really think that the wood spirit might know him?

But, is this possible? Even if the wood spirit recognizes the cane, and the cane really belongs to Sanders, it does not mean that the wood spirit knows Angel. It may remember that its former owner was Sanders, but how could the wood spirit recognize Angel, a rising star who has only emerged in recent years?

Doakes thought it was impossible, but he also felt that Angel was too calm and composed. Could there be some hidden secret in this?

"I don't know if you are serious, but I want to remind you that the cane has fallen down." Because the wise master was right next to him, Dox couldn't ask, so he just pretended that he hadn't thought about it.

Everyone followed Dox's finger and saw that the cane had fallen to the ground, pointing to the fork in the road on the right.

"Sir, shall we go to the right first?" Kael asked at this time.

Angel looked at the road on the right, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and then said, "No, go to the left first."

Seeing Angel walking towards the left road, everyone was confused. This change was a bit unexpected... Didn't they say that it was up to God? God told him to go to the left, so why did he go against his will?

Everyone didn't understand why Angel suddenly changed so much, but they didn't ask. After all, they didn't know Angel for a long time, and they didn't know Angel's character very well. Maybe he was just such an erratic person?

And this kind of people are very common in the wizarding world. In the words of the Light Chaser of the City of Truth, wizards practice or do research in small rooms for years. After being suppressed for a long time, it is normal for them to have strange tempers and be capricious.

However, is Angel really a capricious person?

Obviously, he is not. Even the difficulty in choosing that Angel showed before was fake.

The reason why he stopped at this fork in the road was that Angel felt that the cane was slightly hot and resonated with the road on the left. If the source of the resonance came from the wood spirit, it seemed to mean that the wood spirit was on the road on the left.

However, it was a bit strange.

When Angel came to this fork in the road, the heat of the cane suddenly disappeared.

This made Angel a little confused. Since he had already felt the resonance before and was sure that it was on the left. Why did he suddenly stop heating the cane when he came to the fork in the road with left and right distinctions?

Did he think that he had already pointed out the way and didn't need to point it later. Or did he use the road on the right to deliberately set up some kind of confusion?

Angel didn't know the specific situation, so he stopped at the fork in the road.

Angel didn't care whether to choose the left or the right. He was just curious. If the heating of the cane just now was caused by the wood spirit, what was its intention? If it wasn't the wood spirit, who could it be? Was it... the mirror demon?

In order to confirm some of the ideas in his mind, Angel took out the cane and used the falling direction of the "cane" to point the way.

The body of the cane came from the wood spirit. When Angel threw the cane out before, it was equivalent to giving up the control of the cane. If the wood spirit was nearby, it was fully capable of taking over the cane.

In other words, there are two possibilities for the cane to fall to the right. One is that the cane fell to the right due to real inertia; the other is that the wood spirit secretly manipulated it to fall to the right.

The former is not affected by external factors, so it is not worth discussing; it is the latter that is worth discussing. If the wood spirit really took over the cane secretly and guided the cane to fall to the right, then the current situation is very interesting.

Obviously, the actions of the wood spirit before told Angel that it was on the left, so why did it fall to the right at this time? This is contradictory.

What made the wood spirit change his mind? Was it to distract him intentionally, or did the wood spirit have other plans?

The above questions were all raised by Angel based on the intervention of the wood spirit.

Of course, the greater possibility is that the wood spirit did not intervene, and Angel was just making up some nonsense here.

However, if the wood spirit really did not intervene, then who would be the one who made the cane slightly warm and secretly guided him in the direction of resonance? What was the trick behind it?

With these questions, Angel walked towards the left road.

Choosing the left road was Angel's decision from the beginning. Since the location that resonated with the cane was on the left at the beginning, no matter what resonated with the cane, walking on the left should be able to find some clues, but walking on the right is hard to say.

...

The road on the left is longer than Angel imagined, but it is quite plain along the way.

They passed through three different room ruins, all drifting in the void. Angel felt that these rooms looked familiar, but it was difficult to match them with the rooms on the second floor in his memory, because they were too broken. And there was nothing found in the ruins of these three different rooms.

They were going to the last room on the left road. According to the information of the Black Earl, the preservation of this last room was the best in the entire second floor.

When they actually saw this room, it was indeed as the Black Earl said. This room not only retained a complete shell, but also had a second floor and a very hidden attic.

However, in such a well-preserved room, there was still no trace of the wood spirit.

The only thing worth mentioning about this room is that there is a shadow ghost wreckage in the attic. It is called wreckage, but in fact, there is only a circle of black spots on the wall left.

This is a characteristic of shadow ghosts. After they die, they will gradually dissipate. In the end, a human-shaped black shadow will be left in the land of death, which is the last trace of the shadow ghost in the world, and it can also be said to be an alternative tombstone.

The shadows left after the death of the shadow ghost vary in length. The wizard-level shadow ghost can be preserved for more than a thousand years, but ordinary shadow ghosts can only be preserved for a hundred years.

The remains of the shadow ghost here did not reach the wizard level before its death. In other words, it died within the past hundred years.

Judging from the traces left, the shadow ghost was killed in this house.

This is very interesting, who killed the shadow ghost?

According to Sisia, the only people who passed by her in the past hundred years were her group. And the one in front of them is the wood spirit.

This also means that if it is an outsider, the only one who can kill the shadow ghost is the wood spirit.

Because only the alien space where Xicia is located has a way to the ladder to the prison. The other entrances must pass through the hall dominated by wise men.

If it wasn't the wood spirit that killed the shadow ghost, then only the wise master and the people hiding in his shadow would be left.

Everyone present is not stupid. Even Vai is an "old man" who has lived for nearly a hundred years. After a little analysis, he can see the special features of this shadow ghost.

When the wise master saw that everyone was focusing on him, he thought about it and did not hide it. He said directly: "I don't know who did it. The most likely thing was the wood spirit, because it hid here. Later. I don’t know when it moved to another place, and I haven’t seen it come back here since.”

"If it is made by the wood spirit, then it seems not as timid as I thought." Doakes touched his chin, thinking.

Angel: "Wise Master, can you tell whether the wood spirit left before the death of the shadow ghost or after it died?"

The wise master shook his head: "I don't know."

Doakes turned to look at Angel with confusion on his face: "Why are you asking this question? If the wood spirit killed the shadow ghost, then it must have left after killing it."

"Not necessarily." The Black Earl who had been silent until now also spoke: "The information currently known is that the wood spirit is timid and has a strong talent for concealment. However, it is not yet known what the wood spirit's attack ability and attack methods are. It can be known.”

"If the wood spirit is good at extremely long-distance attacks, it can attack distant enemies in its comfort zone, so that it can avoid its timid character."

Doakes showed a look of realization: "That's right... However, if it is as Hei said, the wood spirit's attack is an extremely long-distance attack, that also means that it also has ultra-long-distance perception. . Otherwise, it will be difficult to accurately hit the shadow ghost from a long distance."

"So, if the wood spirit was on the second floor, it might have discovered us already?"

When Doakes said this, he suddenly looked back at the wise master.

The wise master just smiled slightly and did not give any reply.

Although the wise man did not give a positive answer, he did not deny their speculation.

The wood spirit must have some means of attack.

Moreover, given the timid character of the wood spirit, the attack methods it develops are definitely not head-on attacks. They are most likely super-long-distance attacks, or clandestine means.

"If that's true...then aren't we already in danger?" Vai said with a look of astonishment.

"You haven't come in yet, what's the danger?" Doakes said angrily.

Vai was stunned for a moment, then quickly added: "I mean, your Excellency is in danger."

"Have you forgotten me?" Kael looked at Vai faintly.

Compared to Master Chao Dimension, he is probably the most dangerous.

Vai looked at Kael with some embarrassment, scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Doakes: "Don't worry, we are not doing this. If you die, I will definitely take your soul back."

Kael glanced at Doakes resentfully and silently turned his gaze to Angel.

"Everything is just speculation, there is no accurate information at all. Moreover, if the wood spirit is really cowardly, it will never take the initiative to provoke a fight." Angel patted Kael on the shoulder and comforted: "Let's go, Since there is nothing here, let’s get out of here first. Besides, I still need your help.”
