Chapter 2704: Relief

Is Angel's arrival really a coincidence?

Facing the doubts of the wise master, Angel was still thinking about the wording, but the black earl said lightly: "The wise master has been investigating whether his arrival is a coincidence. This puzzles me. Has there been any major changes in the underground waterway in recent years? In recent years, have outsiders broken into the underground waterway, especially the ladder of the suspended prison?"

"No, right?" Black Earl: "Since there is no, why do you think his arrival is a coincidence. He has been in contact with the extraordinary world for less than ten years. During these years, he has to hone his abilities and learn corresponding technologies. His time is unevenly distributed. Why would the wise master investigate whether it is a coincidence?"

"Also, the so-called coincidence is that there is no coincidence without coincidence. Perhaps Angel's appearance can be called a coincidence, but what is the corresponding "coincidence"? I think only when the wise master explains the "coincidence" clearly can we judge whether Angel's arrival is a coincidence."

The sudden support of the black earl made Angel stunned. After hearing his series of questions, Angel couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. As expected, he is the Black Count, whose expression is concise and to the point.

First, he said that Angel's age is not a coincidence with Naraku City, and second, he questioned the basis for the wise master to judge that it is not a coincidence.

If it is Angel, he can only find a way to show his inner conviction. If the inner conviction is not possible, then write in a roundabout way in the book of truth, starting from the task he received from Aesop, write a series of itineraries, and then let the wise master judge whether it is a coincidence.

It can be said that the words of the Black Count really helped Angel.

However, although the Black Count was helping Angel at this time, in fact, he and the wise master had the same doubts. Because along the way, Angel was too familiar with this place, and there were many inexplicable behaviors that made people feel very strange.

Moreover, Angel said from the beginning that he had no other requests, which also made the Black Count suspicious.

But even if the Black Count had doubts, his approach was different from that of the Wise Lord. He chose tolerance and ignorance.

Of course, this does not mean that the Black Count is broad-minded. It is purely because of Angel himself that he is willing to ignore those abnormal behaviors.

Angel's background, an important figure in the Savage Cave, a person valued by his close friend Rhine, and a disciple of Sanders who loves and hates each other. This reason alone makes the Black Count not do anything to Angel.

And along the way, Angel used his own strength to prove that he deserved to be a member of the Research and Development Institute. This once again made the Black Count look up to Angel. After all, it is better to maintain a good relationship with such technical talents than to have a bad relationship.

So, no matter whether Angel really has other purposes this time, the Black Count will speak for him. In this regard, they belong to the same front.

On the other hand, the Wise Lord was also a little hesitant at this time.

Even Angel admired the Black Count's words in his heart, and the Wise Lord could naturally hear what the Black Count wanted to express.

Indeed, Angel's age is a problem. Regarding this point, the wise master didn't know how to explain it.

But when it comes to the "coincidence", the wise master actually has something to say. However, after Angel's explanation, he also had some doubts about this "coincidence".

Perhaps, he was really overthinking?

After pondering for a moment, the wise master finally spoke. He said to the Black Count: "I accept the doubts you raised. But I also have reasons to believe that his arrival is not a coincidence."

The Wise Lord paused, turned to look at Angel: "If you agree, you only need to do one thing, and this matter will be skipped. I will apologize for my doubts, how about an alchemy notebook I collected?"

Angel: "What is it?"

The Wise Lord said slowly: "It is written in the Book of Truth that you have never met the woman in the oil painting in the previous Hanging Prison Ladder, and you have never seen or heard her name. At the same time, you have not learned about the remains of the land from unknown people in any way."

Hearing the words of the Wise Lord, Angel and the Black Count looked at each other, and they almost immediately understood that the Wise Lord judged that Angel's arrival might not be a coincidence because of the relationship with that woman.

Although the Black Count heard the meaning of the Wise Lord's words, he actually didn't know whether Angel was related to that woman.

The Black Count subconsciously thought that Angel had nothing to do with that woman. However, as time went by, Angel did not write anything in the book of truth, but frowned and remained silent.

The Black Count's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Angel's abnormal behavior along the way was really related to that woman?

A lot of the information Angel knew was mysterious. Could it be that the woman or the so-called unknown person gave Angel?

Under the gaze of everyone, Angel's hesitation seemed to prove the relationship between Angel and the woman.

However, after about half a minute, Angel raised his head: "What is an unknown person?"

The Wise Lord: "The person who encouraged you to go to the abandoned land, no matter who it is."

Angel: "The Wise Lord thinks that my coming was encouraged by someone. It could be an unknown person, or the woman in the oil painting?"

The Wise Lord did not reply, but silence was a kind of answer.

Angel: "I have been thinking about what an unknown person is, because this range is too broad. If you say who encouraged me to come here, then I can clearly say that no one encouraged me."

The Wise Lord: "Then you can write it in the book of truth."

Angel still did not write, but asked another question: "I can write, but if I guess the identity of the woman you mentioned, how should I judge her identity?"

The wise master was stunned: "Guess...guess?"

Angel shrugged: "We gained nothing along the way. We encountered many clues. It is not difficult to guess the identity of the woman."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone here."

The wise master hesitated for a moment and looked at Doakes...Kael next to him.

Although it is not difficult to see through Doakes, Doakes' answers are always out of the ordinary. It is better to just choose the simplest one and let the apprentice answer.

Every move of the apprentice cannot escape the eyes of the wise master.

Kael looked around, and finally pointed at himself, meaning: Me?

The wise master nodded: "Yes, tell me, do you know who the woman in that oil painting is?"

Kael shook his head: "I don't know, but we have encountered some clues before, and the oil painting is a mirror. I guess that she may be related to the Mirror Demon God, or even the Mirror Demon God himself."

Kael's answer made the wise master frown.

"Where did you learn the name of the Mirror Demon God?" the wise master asked.

Earl Black: "The entrance we entered was an underground church. That church was built by followers of the Mirror Demon. So, we knew the name Mirror Demon from that time."

After the Black Earl finished speaking, Angel also added: "We later found the logo of the Mirror Demon God in the ruins. Well, this is it."

Angel snapped his fingers, and a phantom pattern appeared in mid-air.

A pattern split into two appears in the logo, with one half showing the profile of a woman with long hair, and the other half showing the profile of a man wearing a hat.

"The profile of the woman in the logo is very similar to the blond woman in the oil painting. In addition, the oil painting actually used a mirror. We thought of the reflection in the mirror recorded in the underground church, so we guessed that she may be related to the Mirror Demon. ”

After Angel said this, he looked at the wise master: "We are still guessing. I don't know whether she is related to the Mirror Demon. However, if our guess is right, the master will let me write it in the book of truth. If I write that I don’t know her and have never met her, then I will be wronged in vain.”

After finishing speaking, Angel's expression almost overflowed with the question: So, is she the Mirror Demon?

The wise master pondered for a moment and then said: "When you record it in the book of mantras, you can write a premise, 'Before you arrive at Naraku City,' you do not know the existence of this woman, let alone hear her name. "

Although the wise master did not say it clearly, the fact that Angel added the premise of 'before arriving at Naraku City' actually hinted that their guess was correct.

That woman is indeed related to the Demon God of Mirrors. Maybe it's the long-haired woman in the logo.

Angel smiled: "Okay."

At this time, Angel did not hesitate and quickly wrote out every word in the mantra book according to what the wise master said.

There was no reaction from the mantra book, and the text was very smooth. This means that everything Angel said before is true.

He was not inspired by anyone.

He had never seen that woman before, let alone knew who she was.

Although the wise master feels that this is still not rigorous, it is enough. Just as the Black Earl said, Angel is too young, and even if there is a plan, it will not be his turn.

Moreover, he was not bewitched by the goddess. He came on his own initiative. Whether he had other thoughts, the wise ruler would not care.

No one who comes here has any thoughts. As long as Angel is not on the side of the goddess, then let this matter be over.

Wise Lord: "My collection of alchemy manuscripts is in my main hall. I will give you the original version later, along with my early manuscripts. Or, I can also make a replica for you directly here. version."

Angel waved his hand quickly, he didn’t want the original, what kind of replica do you want?

Even if the contents recorded in the original and the replica are the same, every word in the original is rich in the emotion of the writer. As a master of emotional perception, Angel cannot abandon the original and copy the last. version.

The wise master didn't care either. Since he had promised Angel to give it to him, he would naturally not break his promise.

"The misunderstanding about coincidence or not has been solved. Can we get down to business?" The Black Earl looked at the wise master.

"What are necessary conditions and what are bonus conditions? What do you need us to do?"

The wise master did not answer immediately, but said: "These words need to be said, but I still need to confirm some things, and my confrontation with her has already begun. It is not too late to talk after she retreats."

The confrontation with her has already begun? With whom?

Everyone looked at the wise master in confusion, and the wise master said calmly: "You will know later, she will not let you go easily."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately remembered what the wise master said when they first met him.

He was commissioned to hinder their progress.

The wise master seemed to be blocking them, but in fact he wanted to use them to do something, and they could see that. So, they became the middleman in the game between the two parties?

The wise master did not mention too much about the "confrontation", but looked at Angel.

"I asked the questions just now and you answered them. Now, do you have any questions you want to ask me?" The wise man ruled: "Also, you don't need to ask about the legacy land. I will tell you everything later."

Angel: "I do have some questions. I asked Miss Sisia some of them, but she said she couldn't say them because she had an oath. I wonder if the wise master can say them?"

Angel didn't mention what the problem was, but since Sisia couldn't talk about it, there was no doubt that it must be a problem left over from the history of Narok City.

Wise Lord: "My oath has very few restrictions, but there are still things that cannot be said. It depends on what specific questions you ask."

Angel nodded with understanding. In other words, the wise master could answer more than Sicia, but he couldn't say anything about sensitive issues.

"What do you want to ask? The rise and fall of Naruo City?" The wise master looked at Angel.

Angel shook his head: "My first question has nothing to do with Naruo City, but with the wood spirit."

Angel lowered his head and looked at the cane: "The Wise Lord already knows that my mentor is Sanders, so I don't know if the Lord is willing to let me bring the wood spirit to see him. After all, I promised to bring the wood spirit out when I brought it out. Go meet my mentor."

The Wise Lord has actually considered this issue before.

But now he doesn't know whether he should agree to it, because Sanders's evaluation is polarized on his side.

To put it simply, the wise master believes that Sanders deserves recognition in terms of technology and innovation. However, his style is too harsh.

Black wizard and white wizard, this title and competition that has suddenly appeared in recent years, has no difference to the ten thousand year old monster.

Whether a wizard was doing good or evil, he didn't care.

But the premise of all this is that it does not affect him.

As for the wood spirit, it was taught bit by bit by the wise master. Even if it has character flaws, it is still the most important inheritor for the wise master.

Since it is the inheritor, the wise master must consider whether it will be affected.

When hanging on the prison ladder, there is no one else, so the wise master can have nothing to worry about. But once the wood spirit leaves the underground waterway, it is likely to be affected by external disturbances. Especially, Sanders is a ruthless person. Under his influence, what will the wood spirit become?

The wise master felt that the result was bleak just by thinking about it.

After all, he raised him by himself, and he was not willing to let the wood spirit turn into a perverse and cruel character.

However, the wise master completely forgot at this time that the character flaws of the wood spirit made it basically impossible for it to develop in a vicious direction.

The wise master still prefers not to take the wood spirit out, but the wood spirit is following Angel now, and it seems not good for him to stop him.

When the wise man was in a dilemma, Angel seemed to see his dilemma and took the initiative to suggest:

"Otherwise, I won't take the wood spirit with me, and I'll find a way to get the instructor to come here?"

The wise master suddenly raised his head and said in a determined tone: "No need, just let the wood spirit follow you to see Sanders. After all, he is its former owner."

"By the way, there's no need to bother Sanders coming here...well, there's no place to receive him in the underground waterway."
