Chapter 2689 Performance

The cane stood upright on the road of the void without any support.

And Angel closed his eyes and showed a calm expression.

At first glance, Angel looked like he was "fishing", waiting for the fish to bite the hook. But in fact, Angel was already looking for an excuse in his heart: if the wood spirit did not appear in the end, how could he fool others and make them think that he really found the wood spirit? Instead of being mysterious?

After all, it was just one-sided now.

Distressed, too distressed.

"Does the will mentioned by the adults mean whether the wood spirit is willing to appear?" Kael muttered.

"That should be the meaning. He did this completely..." Dox paused, a little hesitant, whether to say the sentence in his throat "The brain was swallowed by the parasitic sandworm".

If he didn't say it, he would feel suffocated, and if he said it, he would be afraid that it would affect the progress of "making friends".

While Dox was struggling, Wai beside him said with emotion: "The adults have already found the wood spirit, and they still have to consider respecting the wood spirit's opinion. If the wood spirit doesn't want to appear, he will definitely not force it... How gentle."

The moment Wai finished speaking, Dox turned around and stared at Wai with a questioning look of "Are you telling the truth?"

However, Wai completely ignored Dox and continued to express similar emotions.

Dox: "You can praise me for this. When I was on the edge of Chen Chi's world, I was burned by the evil fire to save you. Why don't you say I'm gentle?"

Way: "You are exaggerating. It was just a small burn on your back. How could your whole body be burned? Besides, you are on the blood side. It won't take long for you to heal."

Dox: "You call the evil fire's spray of flames 'a small burn'? And what do you mean by 'not long after'? It took me half a year to recover."

"Half a year is not a long time." Wai turned his head and muttered with some guilt.

Dox was so angry that he wanted to bring Wai back to Chen Chi's world and let the evil fire give him a "small burn" to see how he reacted.

This is so hypocritical!

Wai probably felt that he had said something a bit too much just now. After all, Dox was saving him... Although he returned the favor in various ways over the years, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to say so. He stopped talking, neither arguing with Dox nor expressing his feelings to Angel, but silently eliminating his presence.

On the other side, after listening to the conversation between Vay and Dox, the Wise Lord wanted to analyze the relationship between them and the information revealed. But when it came to the analysis step, Vay's initial words rang in his mind: The adults have already found the wood spirit, and we still have to consider respecting the wood spirit's opinion... How gentle.

The Wise Lord couldn't help but think off the track. Was he really respecting the wood spirit's opinion, or was he just performing for himself?

The Wise Lord was more inclined to the latter. He knew very well that the wood spirit was not so easily moved, and that this method would have no effect except moving himself.

Since it was not to move the wood spirit, then he was performing for himself? After all, the wood spirit was a student he recognized, so it was very likely that he would do so.

The Wise Lord was not actually very disgusted with this kind of crooked mind. Angel was willing to "perform" like this, which actually showed that he was willing to improve the confrontational relationship. Then, perhaps this chess piece called "variable" can be used by him, and it doesn't necessarily have to listen to him, but at least it can influence his decision to a certain extent.

In this way, if there is a bad variable, he will have time to prepare for it.

When the wise master thought of this, he even began to deduce how to maximize the use of Angel's chess piece.

However, when he came to his senses, a voice faintly emerged in his heart:

"Can a chess piece that can be influenced and controlled be called a variable?"

Isn't the variable "unknown"? Everything that happens is immeasurable, which can be called a variable. If Angel can really be controlled and bow to him, it seems to be out of the scope of variables?

The wise master's thoughts are flying, and his expression is constantly changing. Sometimes he frowns, sometimes he stretches, sometimes he doubts, and sometimes he ponders. It can be seen how fierce the game in his heart is.

If Angel knew what the wise master was thinking, he would probably be very fortunate that he did not bow to the wise master.

The smarter a person is, the more he thinks. The more he thinks, the less he trusts others.

For such people, maintaining a balance of terror will actually increase cooperation efficiency. If you just lean towards him, you won't be so easy to trust others without thousands of years of observation.

From this, we can actually see why the wise master chose Mu Ling as his student.

In addition to some reasons of sympathy, the wise master chose Mu Ling as his student more because he mastered all the trajectories of Mu Ling.

When Mu Ling was born, it was basically a blank sheet of paper. Only this kind of pure and flawless creature that he understood thoroughly could get his unconditional trust.

Even though Mu Ling had many flaws, the wise master still didn't give up on him, and that was also the reason.

It's just that the wise master thought he had mastered all the information about Mu Ling, but he forgot one thing, the body of Mu Ling.

It's not that he didn't pursue the Wood Spirit's true body, but that the Wood Spirit didn't cooperate. The Wood Spirit's talent made it difficult for the Wise Lord to understand its inner meaning. In addition, it was a student he taught, so even if the Wood Spirit was still rebellious, he couldn't do anything to it.

This led to the fact that the Wise Lord never really understood the source of the Wood Spirit.

In addition, the Wise Lord himself observed that the extraordinary nature of the Wood Spirit only appeared after the birth of the spirit body, which means that the Wood Spirit's true body is actually very ordinary, and it is very likely to be a mortal plant, or a man-made wooden object.

No matter which one, the Wood Spirit's true body is very ordinary, so it is very likely that the former owner of the Wood Spirit's true body was a mortal, or a very low-level apprentice. For this kind of people, the Wise Lord will not pay too much attention to them, and there is a high probability that these people are dead.

Combining various factors, the Wise Lord no longer cares about the Wood Spirit's true body. But what he didn't expect was that the owner of the wood spirit was indeed a low-level apprentice, but he was extremely talented. After hundreds of years, he has become one of the top wizards in the southern region.

What the wise master didn't expect was that the student of the owner of the wood spirit came here by chance.

This can be regarded as an oversight of the wise master. But when it comes to the end of the review, the wise master will most likely admit this oversight, because it is too coincidental and too unconventional. Even if the ending is known, it is difficult to make up for this oversight.

However, at this time, the wise master didn't know that everything was doomed. He still thought that Angel's attitude at this time was a performance for him.

In fact, Angel was indeed performing, but he was not performing for the wise master, but for the "audience".

Although he knew that the wood spirit was here, he couldn't find the trace of the wood spirit, and the wood spirit didn't contact him, so he had no choice.

Yelling here is useless, but it is embarrassing. Then just put on a "willing to take the bait" attitude, everything depends on the decision of the wood spirit.

And this is the only thing Angel can do now.

Angel doesn't know whether the wood spirit will come out, but he thinks that it is highly unlikely.

Although the wood spirit took the initiative to contact him for Sanders's sake, Sanders was only the former master of the wood spirit after all, and it is not certain how much emotion he really has.

The wood spirit has not even really seen Sanders after the birth of spiritual intelligence.

In Angel's opinion, even if Sanders came here in person, the wood spirit might not show up. He is just Sanders' student, and it is normal for the wood spirit not to show up.

This is why Angel has already started to prepare his words in advance, thinking about how to "act" later, so that everyone can understand that he really found the wood spirit, instead of playing a monkey show here.

"By the way, Wai said before that I respect the free will of the wood spirit... Maybe I can start from this." Angel thought to himself, should I perform a similar drama at that time?

But, respecting the freedom of choice of the wood spirit, is this a bit too much? Judging from the information on the holographic tablet, this can be done on Earth, because as long as the problem is raised to the level of values, ignorant people can empathize. In addition, when technology enters a slow development period, the Earth is relatively peaceful, and there are many people who have nothing to do and organizations that fan the flames. With the developed information network, it can be more convincing.

But this is not Earth, there is no efficient intelligence network, and mentioning respect for freedom and human rights will probably only make people think that he has taken the wrong medicine?

In this way, manipulating this topic is likely to make people laugh. How to act?

Angel fell into deep thought again.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Angel still looks like he has a good grasp of the pearls. However, after a long time, there is no movement, which still makes people feel confused.

"Are we being fooled by him?" Dox whispered.

Because Angel has been in this state for a long time, but there is no response. Not to mention Dox, even Wai is a little hesitant at this time.

"Or, call the adults?" Kael said.

"If the adults are busy, we will disturb them, right?" Wai hesitated.

Dox said unhappily: "Do you think he looks busy? Don't be fooled by his appearance, his heart is black when cut out."

Dox pushed Kael directly after he finished speaking: "Go wake him up, tell him that if he can't find the wood spirit, change someone quickly. Don't waste time."

Wai: "...Why don't you say it yourself, let others say it."

Dox said seriously: "We still have to meet in the future, let's be kind to each other."

Kael was ready to step forward, but when he heard what Dox said, he stopped. Dox wants to be kind, so he doesn't want it?

Moreover, according to Dox's meaning, wouldn't he be disliked if he woke up Angel? He didn't want it!

Kael's situation suddenly became a dilemma, and his face was full of tears.

Perhaps he heard Kael's voice, or perhaps he had almost finished his performance. After five minutes of standing still with his eyes closed, Angel finally opened his eyes.

He looked around pretentiously and confirmed that there was no one around. Angel sighed: "It seems that you still don't want to go out with me. Well, I respect your choice..."

Angel said this sentence with rich emotions. From the helplessness and loss at the beginning to the solemnity at the end, he performed it very well.

However, the only regret for Angel was that he didn't think of other tricks.

In the end, he chose to perform the "respect your freedom of choice" section.

The main thing is that he did waste too much time here and had no time to think about other dramas. If he really did something, even if it didn't work out in the end, that would be it. But he didn't do anything at all, just killing time. Even if he closed his eyes and was thick-skinned, he was still a little embarrassed.

In addition, this section has the foreshadowing of Vai and Angel's performance. Even if the values ​​​​are inconsistent, at least it will give others a time to adapt in advance.

The most important thing is that Angel has not forgotten that he is now a guest "anchor".

As soon as the live broadcast was turned off and the curtain was drawn, he became the normal Angel again. As for his acting and value deviation just now, these are just the effects of the live broadcast. What does it have to do with Angel?

After giving enough psychological preparation, Angel gritted his teeth and started to act out the drama.

Emotional perception makes Angel's acting possibilities wider and more realistic. Even if he didn't burst into tears during the performance, his helplessness was still very contagious.

If Wizard Muying from Xiju Academy was here at this time, he would probably be impressed by Angel's acting skills.

Angel didn't say much, and his emotions were very restrained. He stopped at the point.

Then, at the last moment of the performance, according to the live broadcast effect set by Angel himself, he would sigh and leave.

It would be best for others to watch his figure step into the darkness and gradually disappear. In this case, the dramatic effect will be more intense and fascinating.

However, when Angel really turned around, what he didn't notice was that the noisy sounds in the distance suddenly stopped.

Everything became quiet.

It wasn't until Angel walked more than ten steps that he discovered that no one in the audience was "supporting" the show. Even Vai, the designated best audience member, didn't say a word. This made Angel fall into doubt.

Could it be...that something was wrong with his acting just now? Not profound enough? Or is it that there are too many similar dramas that other people have seen, so they can’t empathize with them?

With a hint of apprehension, Angel paused for a moment, preparing to "make up" another retrospective scene.

Although this kind of retrospective scene is usually placed in an indecisive character, he is on a live broadcast now, and all interpretation rights belong to the host and have nothing to do with Angel.

Thinking of this, Angel adjusted his mind, let his expression return to normal, and then suddenly looked back unexpectedly.

Angel was already ready to say the "re-recorded" lines, but when he turned around, Angel was stunned.

Because, I don’t know when, suddenly there was someone almost the same height as him behind him.

Wooden man!
