Chapter 2705 Letting Go

The wise master expressed his "unwelcome" to Sanders with his actions.

Although he was worried that Mu Ling would be influenced by Sanders' "character", if he refused and asked Sanders to come to the underground sewer in person, it would be better to let Mu Ling go to see Sanders.

The reason why the wise master changed his mind after hearing the news was not that he was afraid of Sanders, but that he simply did not want to be associated with the Savage Cave.

The Fantasy Island lineage was one of the few pro-war factions among the major camps in the Savage Cave, and Sanders was the master of the Fantasy Island lineage. His opinions and decisions could affect the entire Savage Cave.

The Savage Cave was a behemoth and had never intervened in Naraku City before. If Sanders and the Savage Cave behind him noticed Naraku City because of Mu Ling, it would not be good news for the wise master.

Although Angel also came from the Savage Cave and was no less important than Sanders, from the perspective of the decision-making of the Savage Cave, their influence was completely different.

Therefore, the wise master would rather accept Angel's appearance in Naraku City than Sanders' appearance here.

Of course, if Angel did not appear in Naraku City, it would be better. However, now that Angel has come, he can only accept it.

At least, Angel's strength is not high. The wise master believes that he can rely on fists and honey, and there is still a way to restrict Angel through the contract so that Angel will not spread the information of Naraku City to the decision-makers in the Savage Cave.

The above is the psychological activity of the wise master.

But what he didn't know was that Angel had already passed on the information of Naraku City through the Dream Wilderness.

Moreover, Sanders was not completely unconcerned about Naraku City. He cared more about Naraku City than the wise master imagined. After all, the first place he entered the nightmare world was Naraku City. Now Sanders has to go in and out of the nightmare world from time to time. How could he not care about the place corresponding to the nightmare world projection?

However, the wise master still worried too much.

Even if the decision makers of the Savage Cave, whether it is the Iron Armor Granny or Lord Rhine, knew that Naraku City had hidden secrets, they would not be too interested in it.

First of all, the Savage Cave itself is busy enough.

Whether it is the Heart Nai Land under the Star Pool or the disaster in the nearby Evernight Country, the Savage Cave needs to spend time and manpower to deal with it.

In addition, there is the upcoming tea party and the Peach Heart Theater that will be held at an unknown time. The former is a grand gathering of witches in the Southern Region, and the latter may attract wizards from all directions and even the Source World. Just these two things are enough to worry about. Naraku City? Secrets? Forget it.

Secondly, if the secrets of Naraku City are unguarded, then you can explore it when you have time. But now, not only is the magic array in Naraku City still running, but there are also wise masters and more unknown old monsters sleeping. If they really have to fight, they may spend some time to win, but old monsters such as the wise master can also erase and destroy the secrets of Naraku City before they are defeated. This is a completely unprofitable behavior, and there is no need.

Thirdly, the geographical location of Naraku City is very "subtle", just in the Kingdom of Guman, where the storm is about to rise. During this period of time, all forces are making arrangements in the Kingdom of Guman, and exploring Naraku City may be noticed by all parties. It's okay to just notice that they are exploring Naraku City, but if they misunderstand that their involvement in the Kingdom of Guman has changed from the dark to the light, it's not good.

Also, even if the Guman storm is over, Naraku City is not suitable for "blatant" exploration. Because for a devastated place, even a scabies will be magnified by public opinion into a serious problem. What's more, Naraku City is not an ordinary relic. There are unknown and powerful extraordinary lives in it. At that time, it became a bomb. Once it exploded, the consequences are difficult to imagine.

All the families, major organizations, the Guman royal family, extreme sects holding high banners, and the most pitiful ordinary people will be involved.

Overall, in the short term, the Savage Cave will not explore Naraku City with the decision-making layer as the core.

As for the longer term, the Savage Cave should not have much interest in Naraku City.

There are too many mysteries hidden in the wizard world of the Southern Territory, and many places that clearly have secrets may not be explored by anyone.

Secrets and crises are equal to each other to a certain extent.

They don’t know what the secrets of Naraku City are. However, the crisis has already been known, that is, the wise master and other ten thousand year old monsters.

Even a behemoth like the Savage Cave needs to be dealt with with all its strength, or with a more time-consuming method of cannibalization.

But this does not help to obtain secrets, but it is easier to destroy secrets. After all, they don’t know how strong the ten thousand year old monsters are; but they can probably guess how deep the ten thousand year old monsters’ obsessions are.

When the obsession reaches a certain level, it is impossible to give in.

In Jon's words, it is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace.

So, why bother.

After all, the wise master has been in the underground sewer for too long, and his judgment of the situation is not very accurate. If he has been paying attention to the situation outside and has arranged insiders in various wizard organizations, he will not worry about this and that.

No matter how smart the wise man is, he will still fall into the lower level without real and accurate intelligence.

However, this has no effect on Angel, and it can even be said to be beneficial.

At least, in order to prevent Naraku City from attracting attention, the wise master would not dare to "touch" Angell, and at the same time, in order to keep Angell secret, he would also give him "honey". As for the fist that came with the honey? Angell is not stupid, and he will definitely not resist. With active cooperation, the fist will not fall, but only honey will be received.

In any case, Angell must be the beneficiary of the wise master's imagination and worry.

So, it is not good to imagine too much. In addition, people who love conspiracy theories often go to the extreme of persecution and delusion, which sometimes become shackles that shackle themselves.

...

"So, the wise master promised me to take Mu Ling to see the mentor?" Angel confirmed again.

In order to prevent Sanders from coming, the wise master was naturally ready to nod. However, before he nodded, he did not forget that Mu Ling was his student. What Angel said was one-sided at present. He had to get Mu Ling's affirmative answer before he agreed.

"What do you think? Do you really want to meet your master before you were born?" The wise master looked at Mu Ling.

Perhaps Mu Ling also knew that this was a "spiritual event" that would determine whether he could leave. No matter how timid he was, he responded quickly, and no longer used vines to form words, but spoke.

"Yes... Teacher."

Mu Ling's voice was very small. It didn't sound old or gender-specific, but it gave people a humble, buzzing, muffled feeling, like a faint sound from the dust, and its presence was extremely low. If it weren't for the silence in the air at this moment, they might not even hear Mu Ling's voice.

"He never knew of your existence, and he might not recognize you when he saw you. Have you considered this?" The wise master asked again, and the question went straight to the core.

Mu Ling's answer was still firm: "I want to go."

The wise master suspected that Mu Ling didn't understand his question at all. Maybe Mu Ling just wanted to leave the underground waterway full of monsters. Even if there was a lot of malice in the outside world, it was still the world of humans. And spirits are naturally close to humans.

The wise master sighed slightly. Although he guessed the answer, he was still a little disappointed. After all, in the world of wood spirits, he was also a "monster".

Even Angel had not noticed the sadness of the wise master at this moment, but the wood spirit seemed to have discovered it.

It spoke a long sentence for the first time.

"I respect the teacher, although I am also afraid of the teacher... but this does not prevent me from having the same feelings for the teacher."

The wood spirit showed fear of the wise master because of the defects of character, and it was a natural defect with physiological feedback, or... a defect. Uncontrollable fear, uncontrollable timidity, uncontrollable fear of non-human creatures.

But the defect is just a "disease". Although it is difficult to cure, it does not affect its thinking ability. It can see the concern of the wise master for it, and it can also feel the love of the wise master.

After hundreds of years of getting along, the wood spirit understands the meaning of the wise master. He regards a defective self as a successor. How could the wood spirit not be grateful?

However, the fear of physiological feedback makes it difficult for it to control itself.

The decision of the wood spirit to leave is not simply to "get close to humans", it just made a choice, a choice to see if it can change itself.

How to change the innate character defects? The wood spirit does not know, but the wise master taught it that when it cannot handle a matter, it can find a way to trace the source and find a solution from the source.

The wood spirit does not know whether tracing the source can solve its problem, but it wants to try.

Maybe Sanders, the former owner, knows how to solve its problem? Or maybe the moment it saw Sanders, its character problem was cured without medicine?

It sounds naive, but there is actually an inside story. The reason why the wood spirit feels this way is because it can accept itself in Angel's hands.

It could not accept itself being touched in any form before, but Angel could.

The reason is gloves.

The gloves worn by Angel were the gloves worn by Sanders. Moreover, the wood spirit can feel that Sanders used the same gloves to hold itself before it was born.

It is precisely because of this premise that Mu Ling is more determined to meet Sanders.

It is not that it does not care about the good of the wise master, but it also knows that its overly fearful reaction will hurt the wise master. Solving the shortcomings of its own character is a beautiful hope for it, and it is also a way for it to respond to the love of the wise master.

Therefore, Mu Ling does not care. If it does not care about the wise master, how could it detect the emotional changes of the wise master in the first time.

How could it be possible? For this reason, it expressed the first emotional confession in its "spiritual" life.

"Teacher, I have a reason to go, and I will definitely come back."

Mu Ling's two consecutive sentences made the wise master stunned for a while. Mu Ling said very briefly, but the wise master knew Mu Ling too well and probably guessed its thoughts.

Although the wise master taught Mu Ling, there was a private relationship at the beginning, because Mu Ling was a blank sheet of paper, he could let him color it, and even if he betrayed, he could see it at a glance. This fits the control desire of the wise master.

However, with hundreds of years of teaching and getting along, the private feelings had long disappeared, and the wise master really regarded Mu Ling as his successor.

The wise master knew Mu Ling's character flaws and never expected to get any emotional return from Mu Ling.

But at this moment, the wise master was still stunned.

Emotions overflowed involuntarily.

Not to mention Angell, even the others saw the deep concern and unconcealed emotion in the eyes of the wise master when he looked at Mu Ling.

However, Mu Ling's words also brought some side effects.

The reluctance of the wise master was also rising.

If Angell said "Let Sanders come here to see Mu Ling" at this time, perhaps the wise master would agree.

After all, the wise master is rational. He saw Mu Ling's pursuit, and he also agreed with Mu Ling's choice.

The care in the hand is like feeding food into the mouth of a hungry eagle. This kind of feeding may make the eagle grow up, but feeding alone cannot teach the eagle to fly, let alone how to hunt and be independent.

Even if there is a lot of reluctance, the wise master knows that Mu Ling is willing to take the initiative to take a step forward, which is right. Even if he suffers a loss, this is the price he needs to pay for growth.

"Okay." The wise master restrained his reluctance and said softly.

"I agree to your going out, and you can come back. However, it's best if you come back alone."

The words of the wise master sounded like a threat, but in fact, they were his encouragement.

Being able to come back alone is also a sign of the growth of the wood spirit.

...

After solving the problem of whether the wood spirit should stay or go, the wise master exhaled lightly and looked at Angel again.

"It is the choice of the wood spirit to follow you, and I agree with its choice, but I don't want to see it fall halfway up the mountain before it learns to fly."

Angel understood what the wise master meant. Isn't it just worried that he has bad intentions towards the wood spirit, or that he didn't protect the wood spirit well?

However, although he understood, how to answer the wise master was a difficult problem.

Words of promise have always been pleasant to the ear. However, the cry of the kingfisher when it died was also pleasant to the ear.

Therefore, Angel could not give an absolute answer to how to make the wise master trust him.

"Does the wise master have any requirements?" Since he could not give an absolutely satisfactory answer, let the wise master decide for himself.

The wise master seemed to have expected Angel's answer and said directly: "Use the Book of Truth as a contract and agree to my requests."

After the wise master finished speaking, he waved his hand and a contract appeared on the page of the Book of Truth.

Angel looked at the Book of Truth and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The contract naturally has rewards and punishments, and the punishments are great, but the reward column is blank.
