Chapter 2690: Stickman

It is not right to call it a wooden man. Because it only has bamboo-like limbs, no obvious head, and no neck.

It is more like a large stickman made up of five sticks.

One stick is the body, and the other four sticks are the limbs.

Let alone the peculiarity of the appearance of this "stickman", its reaction alone confuses Angel.

He turned around and suddenly saw a stickman nearby. He should be the one who was surprised. Why is it that the stickman is now trembling with fear?

Yes, the stickman's limbs, that is, its four sticks, have changed from hard to soft. It is like a "big" character jumping into the air, and its limbs have become wavy, looking too frightened.

The "frightened" stickman began to raise his wavy hands and make small circular movements.

And a series of trembling "ah" sounds were emitted in the air, and the trembling sound reached a high point at the beginning, and then began to decline...

Finally, as the figure of the stickman disappeared, the sound also disappeared.

Looking at the emptiness in front of him, Angel's thoughts still didn't react.

When did it... appear?

And when did it leave? How did it leave? Why didn't he feel anything at all, as if it appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

And, most importantly: Who is it?

It has clearly appeared and followed behind him, but he didn't notice the other party's existence at all.

If he hadn't seen it running in front of him with his own eyes, Angel would even think that this was a brilliant illusion.

Now it is confirmed that the other party is real, but it has an extremely powerful hiding ability. Then, its identity seems to be about to be revealed.

"Is it a wood spirit?" Angel turned his head and looked in the direction of the wise master.

The wise master was still stunned at this time. In other words, all the viewers watching the "live broadcast" and another onlooker, Kael, were frozen in place as if they were under a spell.

Although only the wise master and Kael saw the wood spirit at the beginning, with Kael's narration in the mind band and Angel turning around and discovering the stickman, he restarted the illusion update, and everyone saw the scene just now.

After a long while, the wise master came back to his senses: "It, you...how did you call it out?"

"I didn't do anything." Angel looked innocent: "Is it really a wood spirit?"

The wise master was silent for a moment before nodding: "Yes."

He actually believed that Angel did nothing, because he could directly observe Angel's movements through the magic array. Angel did not do anything, but just said a bunch of specious emotional words there.

And this kind of emotional words, in the wise man's ears, except for being nice, are useless.

But strangely, the wood spirit actually appeared, and followed Angel cautiously and step by step for a long distance.

You know, even if the wise master came to the ladder of the prison to find the wood spirit, the wood spirit would not take the initiative to follow the wise master. First, it was timid, and second, it would worry that once it left the "comfort zone", the wise master would force it out of the ladder of the prison.

What the wise master did not do, Angel did. Moreover, the wood spirit even took the initiative to step out of the comfort zone and followed Angel.

If Angel had not looked back at that time, maybe the wood spirit would have followed him out of the ladder of the prison.

This was simply unimaginable for the wise master.

This time he offered the so-called "bonus conditions", and he never thought that this group of people could complete it. In the eyes of the wise master, they have a 99% chance of not finding the wood spirit; even if they find the wood spirit, the possibility of taking the wood spirit away is very small, even less than 1%.

But now things have taken an unexpected direction.

Not only did they find Mu Ling, they almost brought him out.

How did they do it? Was it really just by talking? But those words were not very nice to hear, not to mention touching the soul, some liars' rhetoric was more moving than these quotations.

Or... was he a little too unrealistic? In fact, Mu Ling really liked this. It didn't like elegant eulogies, but listened to this kind of rhetoric full of skills?

But, thinking carefully, it felt a little wrong. Because for so many years, he didn't teach Mu Ling too much extraordinary knowledge, but taught Mu Ling a lot of cognition of the world.

This kind of cognition is more inclined to thinking. In order to enlighten, the wise master also brought a lot of books to Mu Ling, most of which were books for mortals.

Because to cultivate cognition of the world, you can't let Mu Ling see only one side, but all aspects must be taken care of. Therefore, when the wise master selected books, he didn't do too much screening. These books are inevitably elegant and noble, and vulgar and low.

From this, we can see that the wise master really intends to train Mu Ling as a successor. He will not directly instill definitions, but let Mu Ling think for himself, and then have a dialectic with him.

Many cognitions become clearer the more they are argued.

In the process of dialectic, the wise master naturally understood Mu Ling's reading orientation.

Among these books, there are actually many books similar to spiritual quotations. But Mu Ling is not interested in these books at all. Mu Ling is more interested in the type of books that revolve around the topic of "aristocrats", whether it is recording the etiquette of aristocrats, power struggles, or even the love stories of aristocratic ladies, Mu Ling is interested in them.

From this point of view, Mu Ling loves Yangchun Baixue more than the lower Liba people.

How could such a wood spirit be moved by Angel with just a few words?

The wise master really didn't understand this matter...or rather, what did Angel do in secret? Threatened the wood spirit?

But when Angel turned around, the wood spirit was frightened and ran around. Wise men who know the wood spirit very well understand that this is completely the instinctive reaction of the wood spirit and does not see any threat.

It was more like Kouling himself took the initiative to follow Angel, and then was caught off guard and frightened.

"Did you do something secretly?" The wise master still didn't believe that Angel had done nothing.

Angel said with a speechless expression: "What can I do? I was obviously the one who was frightened, so how did it turn out that I did something?"

The wise master said: "Since you haven't done anything, how do you know that the wood spirit is hiding here?"

"I thought that the bonus point condition was just to find the wood spirit and bring it out. The process and means are not limited." Angel: "I didn't expect that the method of finding the wood spirit also needs to be reported?"

Angel's words actually left something unfinished: If you want results, then I will give you the results and leave the means alone. But if you want both means and results, then why not explain it from the beginning? Because many times, the methods used involve personal privacy and private abilities. If he wanted to speak out, he would not use these methods at all.

The wise master also knew that he was somewhat wrong, but he did not want to take back his words.

He even thought about how to use his power to overwhelm others? After all, in their own territory, these people are just ordinary wizards...

However, he has determined that Angel's identity and background are not simple. If they really escaped, the consequences would be disastrous.

After weighing it again and again, the wise man ruled: "I know your purpose of coming, and I also know that you are going to the legacy land. I can exchange information about the legacy land with you."

Angel raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that I am not from the Noah clan? Since I am not from the Noah clan, my need for information about the legacy is not that great. What do you think, Lord Wise?"

What Angel said is correct.

The wise master has basically confirmed that Angel is not a member of the Noah family. Since he is not from the Noah clan, is his purpose of coming here really for the legacy land?

Moreover, the wise master knows a secret.

Not everyone can enter the Legacy Land. If anyone could enter, the wise master would have entered it himself.

Only those with the blood of Noah and those who are recognized can enter.

The "recognition" mentioned here does not mean the recognition of the Noah family, but the recognition of the one who created the legacy. In other words, either Augustine's approval or Margaret's approval was required. Only with the approval of these two people could one enter the legacy.

As for Angel, it is obviously impossible to get the approval of those two people. He is not a descendant of Noah, so his demand for the legacy land is indeed not as great as that of a descendant of Noah.

Considering this, the wise master really doesn't know what method to use to induce him.

After pondering for a moment, the wise master spoke again: "Then how do you want to exchange?"

The wise master's words surprised everyone. Because his opening meant that he gave in, and it also meant that he agreed with Angel's words.

At the same time, this also shows one thing, the wise master recognizes that Angel does not have much need for the legacy.

In other words, the remaining land does not have much effect on the non-Noah family.

Although this kind of extreme conceptual equivalence is prone to fallacies, combined with the current situation and the character of the wise master who will never give in unless necessary, it can be basically confirmed that the equal exchange of these two concepts is correct.

Angel could naturally think of this step. He didn't show it on his face, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.

If the legacy land is really only set up for the Noah family, then wouldn't it be impossible to enter behind the wall of the Nightmare Realm forever? Unless, he brings the descendants of Noah?

While Angel was contemplating, the Black Count beside him felt a thump in his heart.

If the legacy doesn't mean anything to Angel, will he choose not to move forward? Although we are already very close to the legacy site here, even if we don't need Angel, we might be able to find the location of the legacy site.

However, the "key" is still in Angel's hand!

The Black Earl has not even seen the key until now, he only knows that it is an extremely special key. In Red Sword Doakes' narrative, no one else but Angel could create it, and the way it is used is extremely special, requiring Angel to operate it.

If Doakes was talking about someone else, the Black Earl would not believe it. But what he is talking about is Angel, so be careful about this matter.

As a member of the R&D Institute, Angel must have special skills. It can be seen from what Angel has done along the way that he did not enter the R&D Institute by luck. In terms of enchantment, he can be called a master of alchemy.

Therefore, Angel has the strength and confidence to say that only he can refine the key, and only he can open the legacy.

If Angel gives up the search for the remaining place at this time, this will not be good news for the Black Earl.

After all, from Angel's perspective, there was no need for him to do such a thankless thing.

Also, the Black Earl was very clear about their position. They were forced to join in the middle. Before, they had common interests, so Angel could turn a blind eye to their joining. But now, without common interests, Angel is likely to give up the search for the ruins.

And once Angel chooses to give up, this operation will inevitably fail.

To put it bluntly, Angel is the key refiner, holder, and the door opener who must enter the ruins; and Kael is the real owner of the key; Red Sword Dox can be regarded as an escort.

The three of them can completely make this exploration go smoothly.

And the Black Earl and Wai are the "pendants" of this ruins exploration. It will be easier with them, but it doesn't matter if they are gone.

But now, the problem has changed. The key owner, the key holder, and the escort cannot get the benefits of the ruins. Instead, the "pendant" who joined halfway can get the greatest benefits. Anyone who changes will probably feel bad.

Judging others by himself, the Black Earl is very worried, so Angel decided to turn back.

The most important thing is that the Black Earl's demand for the Legacy Land has gone from being indifferent at the beginning to being a must-go now.

That is the Legacy Land of Noah's ancestors, and there may be something vital to Noah's family.

The Black Earl has already regarded the Legacy Land as the biggest goal in the short term, and he can't let it go.

It can be said that the one who reacted most to the words of the Wise Lord was not Angel, but the Black Earl.

The Black Earl knew that he had to do something now, at least to show Angel that even if the Legacy Land did not benefit you, he would find a way to make up for Angel's income.

Thinking of this, the Black Earl said: "If the Wise Lord wants to exchange, he must at least put out the bargaining chips for exchange. When I exchange with others, I will show the conditions I can give, such as technical exchanges, inheritance of some original secrets, or other valuable things. You don't say anything, but you want to exchange, aren't you thinking too much?"

The Black Earl seemed to be talking to the Wise Lord, but Angel still understood his real thoughts.

Because Angel had complimented before that the Black Earl's clone secret technique was very powerful. At that time, the Black Earl also said that he could communicate with him.

However, at that time, none of them took it seriously. How could secret techniques really be communicated just by saying so?

But now, the Black Earl directly pointed out that he wanted to communicate, and he even created his own secret technique. It was obviously hinting at Angel, echoing their previous conversation.

Angel didn't understand why the Black Earl suddenly said so at first, but after thinking about the current situation, he still understood what he meant.

Did the Black Earl think that Angel and he had no common interests, so he hurriedly expressed compensation and signaled Angel not to give up halfway.

But the Black Earl didn't know that whether the wise master said that or not, he would actually go to the Legacy.

What he cared about from beginning to end was not the things in the Legacy, but the pattern of the Legacy. This would allow him to correspond to the Nightmare Realm and give him a general concept.

However, Angel would not refuse the benefits that came to his door.

Angel knew very well that for a wizard like the Black Earl, acceptance was sometimes more useful than rejection. They believe in interests more than friendship.

"Yes, I agree with Hei on this point. If you don't put forward any conditions, how can I exchange with you?" Angel replied.

Earl Black and Angel both talked to each other through the Wise Lord. In other words, the Wise Lord became the medium of transfer.

The Wise Lord actually felt that their conversation was a bit strange, but he couldn't really say what was strange.

In the end, the Wise Lord didn't figure it out, so he just let it go for the time being and said, "I don't know what you want, but if you want to communicate with me on knowledge and technology, I can communicate with you, and I can also lend you my notebook to read."

"But the premise is that your answer is true."

After a pause, the Wise Lord asked the original question again: "How did you discover the wood spirit?"
