Section 2701 Mutual Trust and Balance
"I am Noah."
The Black Earl only wrote this short sentence.
The truth book was also presented truthfully, without any waves, which means that this statement is true.
In fact, the Black Earl had already stated that he was from Noah before. Writing it again seemed to be a perfunctory loophole, but it was not.
This sentence is of great significance in the mind of the wise master.
Noah's descendants are a general term. All those with the surname Noah can be called Noah's descendants.
And "I am Noah" is no longer a general term, but a specific term. It specifically refers to the Black Earl, who can represent the entire Noah clan at present.
Just this sentence, in the eyes of the wise master, the true identity of the Black Earl has been infinitely reduced.
The only ones who can represent "Noah" are the core five-star elders of the Noah clan and the current Noah clan leader.
The Black Earl seems to have only one nose, but his true identity has begun to clear the fog and gradually become clear. As for which one of them he is, it is not important to the wise master. As long as he can represent Noah, interesting changes will inevitably occur in the following events.
It is not that there have been descendants of Noah who came to find the remains, but those descendants were not good enough, and they could not even pass the last section of the road, let alone meet the goddess.
But now someone who can represent Noah has come, which is a bit interesting.
Can the goddess still maintain her arrogance in front of him?
Although the wise master is looking forward to the picture in his mind, the matter should be viewed from two sides. The black earl admits that he can represent Noah, which may bring earth-shaking changes to the remains, but at the same time, it may also bring a devastating blow to the already poor situation of Naraku City.
Even if there are still some sleeping old monsters in Naraku City, facing the new upstarts in the wizard world, and the upstarts with connections, even if they can chew this hard bone, Naraku City will encounter a more critical situation.
Thinking of this, the wise master began to have a headache.
If it was just an ordinary descendant of Noah, with the variable of Angel, maybe he could help him find out the secret of the goddess. But now that Noah Benno has joined, the variables are even greater and more difficult to control.
After the Black Earl put down his pen, the Wise Lord did not write for a long time. Angel and the Black Earl were not in a hurry. They could see that the Wise Lord was thinking; but Dox, who was sitting on the side, couldn't wait to say: "Take me too, maybe I can also provide excellent suggestions."
The Wise Lord was still thinking, and Dox simply ejected a stream of energy and merged it into the Book of Truth.
The Wise Lord sensed it, but did not stop it. Perhaps he also wanted to see what truth Dox could bring. Angel and the Black Earl did not stop it either. The Black Earl was too lazy to pay attention, and Angel felt that it was actually good to have Dox join in to disrupt the situation.
Even if the Book of Truth has not set any rules at present, its gaming attributes still exist. Unless you never write in the Book of Truth again, so that others cannot judge whether you are telling the truth or a lie, that is feasible. But if the Wise Lord writes on it, they choose to avoid it, which is not good, and the Wise Lord may also see the clues.
Therefore, in Angel's opinion, Dox joining the Book of Truth and becoming a troublemaker can greatly reduce the gaming attributes.
Even if the Wise Lord wants to use this to play a game and think about their countermeasures, he may be led astray by Dox.
After Dox's energy was integrated into the Book of Truth, the pages immediately glowed with a faint blood light, and finally condensed into a huge figure with two horns standing under the ferocious blood mouth of the sandworm with a sword.
It must be said that the light and shadow that emerged are the best looking of all.
The reason why Dox has two horns on his forehead and his body is like a giant is obviously because his bloodline has been activated.
Even Angel had to admit that the fights that activated blood often contributed a lot of classic scenes. At the beginning, the battle scenes painted by the magic painting wizard Feng were mostly blood battles. Even the most classic and most popular book "Plane Conquest Record" in the Frost Moon Alliance, "The Doomsday Disaster", the wizards who stood at the forefront to fight against the arrival of the demon god were mostly activated blood.
Activating blood does not mean that it must be the blood side, but the blood side can definitely activate blood.
Angel occasionally fantasized that he could activate his blood and turn into a muscle chariot, and where the rollers were, there would be blood and rain. But, this is just a thought. His blood belongs to the projection blood, and it is not even known whether it belongs to the "blood". After activation, except that the limbs are a little bigger than the original, and there are a little more green lines, there is no other effect.
However, if Angel really had to choose again, he would probably still choose the projection blood.
The green lines on the right hand alone can continuously and infinitely release the breath of the nightmare world. This alone makes Angel reluctant to give up.
You know, people like Sanders and Su Mishi need to cooperate with nightmare stones to release nightmare illusions. The price of nightmare stones has always been expensive and rare, which has also made them develop the habit of releasing ordinary illusions when they can. They will not use nightmare illusions unless they have to, and will not use nightmare realms at will.
But Angel has no such restrictions. The breath in the nightmare realms of others is all "asked" by them in the nightmare world. Angel is completely self-sufficient and even raises a bunch of nightmare creatures, such as these worthless teacup bands.
After Dox's handsome light and shadow slowly merged into the book of truth, he looked at Angel and the Black Earl: "I'm starting to write."
Angel and the Black Count remained silent.
Seeing this, Dox immediately began to speak freely. Unlike the short and sharp sentences of others, Dox used a big move as soon as he came.
"I am a poor bar owner. My favorite drink is the mountain mist after the storm. I drink the wind to the full, and my pockets are full of rags. I wanted to survive this hardship, but it turned into gunpowder. However, Noah is closely related to me, and he will definitely not sit idly by. Let us gather together for warmth."
The Book of Truth twisted for a while, as if judging the authenticity. After a long while, the Book of Truth quietly presented this paragraph of resentment, but with expectations, on the page.
After reading it, Angel remained silent.
The Black Count turned his head and pretended not to see it.
The Wise Lord was already prepared to analyze the text, but looking at this row of cynical words, he couldn't help but feel tired.
Although from the way Dox wrote, he seemed to be only related to "Noah", but not Noah's man. But his writing was too vague, so it was actually possible to say that Dox was Noah.
However, the Wise Lord had actually judged that Dox and Noah should not have much to do with each other, but the Book of Truth presented such words. This forced him to consider another layer of logic.
This was also in line with Angle's wishes. Dox's joining was indeed a disruption.
The Wise Lord rubbed his swollen temples and said, "Then it's my turn to write next."
The Wise Lord seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He wrote very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a row of words was recognized and presented by the Book of Truth.
They thought that the Wise Lord would tell the purpose of this visit, or explain what the necessary conditions were and what points the bonus conditions could add.
But the wise master did not write about this. There was only one line of words on the book of truth:
"I have no ill will towards you, nor do I have any intention of killing you. The 'people' who will really take action against you are in the ruins."
After reading this sentence, Angel and the Black Earl looked at each other, their eyes seemed to communicate, but neither of them said anything.
The wise master said: "I wrote this sentence because I hope you can at least trust me. Only with trust will there be a sequel."
Angel: "We can guess this sentence even if you don't say it. This sentence alone cannot convince people."
The wise master: "Then what do you think I should write to give us a basis for mutual trust."
This time Angel did not speak, but the Black Earl spoke instead: "We don't need mutual trust, we just need to maintain balance."
The basis of mutual trust first requires equality. But they are completely not qualified for equality now. The strength of the wise master is too strong and can completely crush everyone present.
Otherwise, they would not have left others in the earth ring wall. It's just that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
The reason why the Black Count dared to step out of the Earth Ring Wall was because once he died, his true body would immediately descend. As for Angel stepping out of the Earth Ring Wall... The Black Count was a little confused and could only guess that he might have a way to protect himself.
"Balance?" The Wise Lord also understood what Sanders meant. After a moment of silence, he added a sentence to the Book of Truth.
"When the war breaks out, I will gather all available means and tie myself up for five seconds."
The balance mentioned by the Black Count is a dangerous balance, or a balance of death.
And the Wise Lord obviously understood this dangerous balance. Once they start fighting, the Wise Lord will have to tie himself up for five seconds, which is the time for them to escape.
If you release the plane channel quickly, it will be completed in two seconds. Five seconds is enough to open the plane channel and leave.
This is the balance that the Black Count said.
Only when we have the premise of leaving safely can we cooperate with you to a limited extent. Talking about mutual trust is pure empty talk.
After the wise master made the fantasy come true, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they don't have to worry about being attacked by the wise master when they go to the wise hall later.
The wise master looked at Angel again.
"Now, how about we talk?"
Angel also knew that the wise master would definitely find him first, so he didn't refuse and nodded: "Please tell me, wise master."
"How did you find the wood spirit? How did you let the wood spirit follow you away?"
After a pause, the wise master said: "These two questions can be exchanged. Let me answer the two questions you asked. If you want me to write the answer in the book of truth, then I can only answer one question for you."
"This is calculated, too stingy." Dox muttered.
Although it seems that the wise master did not ask Angel to write the answer in the book of truth, the two questions that Angel had to answer, even if they were not written in the book of truth, can be judged at a glance, because the internal logic here is difficult to fool.
But if Ingres asked the question in reverse, the Wise Lord could have lied twice.
If he didn't lie, he could only write the answer in the book of truth and change it into one question.
This is not fair no matter how you think about it.
The above is Dox's idea, but as far as Ingres is concerned, the "exchange" given by the Wise Lord is actually fair, because Dox overlooked one point, that there is more than one person involved in these two questions.
Mu Ling is still here. It's not like Mu Ling can't speak, and Mu Ling is still a student of the Master of Wisdom. Even if he is afraid of the Master of Wisdom, will he deliberately hide the truth if he asks Mu Ling a few questions?
Therefore, in Angel's opinion, these two questions are acceptable.
"Okay. But I don't have any questions to ask for the time being..."
Angel paused. In fact, he had many questions in his heart, but if the Master of Wisdom needed them to do something in the legacy land, then he would definitely tell the key points, so asking questions now would be a waste.
"How about lending me the notebook as the Master of Wisdom said before?"
The question is not important. Knowledge and technology, if you miss such things, you will lose a lot. Moreover, the Master of Wisdom can be called a wise man, and there must be unique insights in his notebook, which is what Angel covets.
The wise master did not mention the diary just now, so Angel simply brought it up himself. This is not a question of being thick-skinned or not, because the wise master said it before, and he is just repeating the words of the wise man now.
The wise master did not say it on purpose, but his diary has not been updated for many years, and he himself has forgotten it. He just mentioned it casually and put it behind his mind. I didn’t expect Angel to still think about it.
The wise master nodded: "Okay."
Seeing the wise master nodded, Angel replied: "The two questions raised by the wise master, I should have answered "How did I find Mu Ling" first, but it is better to answer the second question first, because answering the second question will make the first question easier to explain."
The wise master looked at Angel suspiciously. Angel should first answer the question "Why is Mu Ling willing to follow him?"
Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Shouldn’t you find Mu Ling first and then persuade Mu Ling to follow?
Facing the doubts of the wise master, Angel slowly raised his cane and placed it on the table.
"Why don't you tell me, what you say is definitely more credible than mine." Angel patted the vines wrapped around the cane.
The vines wrapped around the cane were motionless, like real decorations.
"Don't pretend to be dead, there are no outsiders here."
Mu Ling still didn't react.
After a moment of silence, Angel made a big move: "...If you want to see him, just make a sound."
After a moment of silence in the air, a "squeak" sound came from the vines.
Mu Ling made a sound, but what the hell is your "squeak"? !
