Chapter 2765 Atmosphere Destroyer

"So, you are still a blessing in disguise?" Doakes looked at Vai in disbelief.

Vai nodded, a look of astonishment on his face.

Doakes was speechless: "I thought you were going to die just now, but my tears were all in vain."

After a pause, Doakes suddenly patted his head and said with an epiphany look on his face: "Ah, I almost forgot, it wasn't me who cried. I didn't cry at all. After all, your death is also a relief for me. At least, no one will come to my pub to drink."

Vai looked at Doakes suspiciously: "That's not what you said just now. What did you say about the path to truth..."

Doakes touched his chin and said with a serious face: "Those words are true. After all, this road is endless, and it is indeed boring to travel alone. Having a companion who can have fun can relieve the boredom. "

Vai: "..."

Doakes: "Of course, the premise of this is that you are alive. If you die, then..."

Vai: "What?"

Doakes glanced at Angel who was aside, stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Then I can only have fun with your idol."

Facing the shameless Doakes, Vai tried not to roll his eyes: "You can only say this now. It won't take long. Maybe within ten years, you can't even catch up with the adults, and you still want to use them for fun." , are you worthy?"

Doakes wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't find the right words to refute.

Angel had only been a wizard for a few years, but he had already reached the threshold of true knowledge. What's more, Angel still has a background, resources, and connections. If nothing unexpected happens, Vai's words will most likely come true.

When Doakes was silent, Vai said again: "Besides, my master also said before that he doesn't think you have a chance to embark on that road...I, I trust your judgment!"

After Vai finished speaking, he looked at the Black Earl floating in mid-air and asked cautiously: "Right, sir?"

The Black Earl snorted coldly: "You don't believe in my judgment. You want to ask me why I judge like this?"

Vai and Doakes are at odds with each other, but when it comes to this core issue, they both actually care about each other very much.

Doakes himself didn't even pay attention to what the Black Earl said just now, but Vai not only remembered it in his heart, but also roundly asked his master the reason. What does it mean to fall in love and kill each other? This is love and death.

Doakes looked deeply at Vai, while Vai's eyes were wandering.

The Black Earl sneered: "Why do I think Doakes has no chance to embark on the path of pursuing truth? The reason is also very simple...isn't he pursuing freedom?"

Vai frowned: "Is it wrong to pursue freedom?"

Black Earl: "That's right, but truth cannot be obtained by freedom alone."

Doakes didn't speak, and his expression didn't care at all, because they had differences on the issue of "freedom" before. No matter what outsiders say, Doakes will pursue the freedom he pursues.

Black Earl: "The road to truth depends on talent, but it also requires the support of foundation. Doakes has no background, where will he find the foundation? Just rely on his own research? Then the detour he will take will be enough to His life is exhausted."

"Is it by the Cross Headquarters? There is indeed something in the Cross Headquarters, but it is actually a big sieve. It is said to be the headquarters of wandering wizards, but it is actually a trial ground infiltrated by major wizard organizations. There is some information there, but Compared to real large organizations, it is still less. Even if the Cross Headquarters opens up all the information to him, he may not be able to embark on the path of truth. "

Vai: "...So it's still because of the wandering wizard?"

Black Earl: "Yes, at least in the Southern Territory."

After a pause, the Black Earl continued: "If it is in the source world, it may still be possible, but if you want to pursue the so-called freedom in the Southern Territory, then forget it and simply give up the pursuit of truth."

Doakes, who had been silent since the topic began to discuss freedom, finally couldn't help but speak: "Why do you say the source world is still possible?"

Black Earl: "There are also wandering wizards in the source world. However, wandering wizards in the source world can join some forces or work for some forces. As for the work remuneration, as long as you are capable enough, it does not mean that you cannot get the inheritance of your heritage. This is also why I Why do we say that the wandering wizards in the source world still have a chance?"

Doakes frowned tightly: "Join a force? Work for a force? Is this still a wandering wizard?"

Black Earl: "Why not? The practices of these forces are actually no different from the Cross Headquarters that you admire. They accept tasks and obtain benefits. However, the forces in the source world are much purer than the Cross Headquarters."

As for why the power in the source world is said to be purer than that of Cross Headquarters, the reason is actually very simple.

The essence of the two is different.

There are probably two main types of forces in the source world that wandering wizards can join, or they are "federations" based on the same concept, such as: the Lawful Guild, the Grindelwald Institute of Magic, and the Special Rudy Bloodline Research Institute, Drest Alchemy Guild...etc.

These are forces that are united because of similar ideas. Most of these forces can come and go freely and will not prohibit you from joining other forces. It doesn't even matter if you hold the titles of several forces at the same time.

The other type is a "central city-style" force established by relying on its own strong strength. It is like the City of Truth, with the central city as its core and the satellite cities established by its followers as its territory. The most representative ones here are: Illusion Tower, Forest Night City, and Cocoroa's Milk Spring Village.

In this case, wandering wizards can also be given tasks and rewards, but some rigid requirements will be given. For example, there is a hard and fast rule in Milk Spring Village: all wandering wizards named in Milk Spring Village are not allowed to give any direct or indirect help to the dark gourmets. If they violate it, they will face the backlash of their oath.

Whether it's the "Union" or "Central City", they actually have powerful wizards sitting there, and there may even be a miracle wizard standing behind them. In this case, they are only responsible for their own forces and will never let other forces interfere, which is why they are purer.

The Cross Headquarters is a sieve full of loopholes. When you and I meet, we all call it wandering wizards, but the real wandering wizards may only account for a small part, and most of them are sent by various wizarding organizations. They invaded the Cross Headquarters more because they wanted to share the profits of the wandering wizards. Can this be pure?

After the Black Earl finished his explanation, he sneered coldly: "In the source world, there is no absolute freedom you are pursuing. I don't know who asked you to pursue this absolute freedom, but the person who taught you must not have told you "Absolute freedom means absolute chaos. Is this the kind of freedom you want?"

"For a while, wandering wizards liked to talk about pursuing freedom, but in fact, it was just a fig leaf to cover up what they wanted."

After a pause, the Black Count continued: "Vai is a descendant of Noah, so there is no comparison. You might as well ask the little guy next to you, what does he think of the freedom you are pursuing?"

The Black Earl pointed at Kalel.

Kael is also a wandering apprentice. How would he view Doakes's so-called freedom?

Doakes turned to look at Kael. Kael was silent for a moment and scratched his head: "I, I actually don't have any opinion, just... respect."

The Black Earl did not comment on Kael's answer, but anyone could tell that Kael's answer was already very tactful.

The so-called wandering apprentices all pursue freedom, but this is actually wrong in itself.

Seeing that something was wrong with Doakes's expression, Vai coughed twice and interrupted the somewhat stiff atmosphere: "Aren't we talking about the truth? Why did we bring up the topic of freedom?"

The Black Earl sneered: "If you can't even meet the basic conditions, how can you talk about the truth?"

The so-called basic conditions, Earl Black has actually said... it is the foundation.

Talent, heritage, and opportunity are all basic conditions. Maybe Doakes has the opportunity and talent, but he really lacks the background.

The current Doakes is a man who is so poor that he can only treat freedom as a dogma. In the eyes of the Black Earl, it is still unclear whether such a person can advance to true knowledge, let alone talk about the truth.

…

Angel witnessed what is called the destroyer of atmosphere.

At first, Angel thought that Doakes was already one of the deflectors of the atmosphere. He could lead any sensational atmosphere as he wished. However, Angel also understood what Doakes did, which was that he regretted what he had done before. It's too sensational. I found out that Vai is not dead at all, and now I can't stand it any longer. It's a bit arrogant.

It was later discovered that Doakes was just biased, and the real atmosphere destroyer still belonged to the Black Count.

The Black Earl directly destroyed the originally good atmosphere and made the atmosphere of embarrassment spread.

If they were not "close friends", the bond of friendship between Doakes and Vai would probably be severed.

Angel sighed in his heart and took the initiative to break the silence: "It's not too late to wait until the future to talk about the future."

After speaking, Angel turned to look at Vai: "Did you just say that your talent can be restored?"

Vai glanced at the Black Earl, then nodded and whispered back: "Well, that's right."

That counts? This is obviously a vague statement. In this context, ambiguity is almost equivalent to negation.

If Vai's talent has not been restored, then where did the talent mentioned before come from? This question actually requires no thought. There is only one answer. The source of talent must be the Black Earl's nose.

In other words, Vai sacrificed his talent for the smell of death, but the Black Earl grafted his talent onto Vai.

However, Vai vaguely stated that although he could use the talent, it was not his.

So what the Black Earl did was purely unnecessary?

No, it is impossible for the Black Earl to do useless work. He must have another purpose for doing this.

Combined with what Vai mentioned before, his sister Ella also has the same situation. Does that mean that the reason why the Black Earl sent his clones to the descendants was actually to graft his talents onto the descendants?

Angel felt that this possibility was very high, but he didn’t know why the Black Count would do this. It was difficult to guess by just guessing.

"Since I can recover and the duel is won, everyone is happy." Angel: "We can put aside other things for the time being. What we should focus on right now is the test that 'she' is going to face next..."

After a pause, Angel glanced aside: "And, them."

Everyone followed Angel's gaze and saw Gray Merchant and others on the opposite side of the arena walking towards them.

Obviously, Gray Merchant and the others still have something to say.

Just when Gray Merchant and the others were halfway there, they heard a loud voice: "The duel is over, and we will be back soon."

The speaker was the wise master.

However, when he said he was "about to" return, he did not give everyone time to react, and landed directly on the arena, touching the surface with both hands.

In an instant, the arena was like a twisted disk, rapidly rotating counterclockwise and shrinking.

The arena was shrinking, and everyone was "shrunk" with it.

However, this shrinkage was not a biological shrinkage, but a spatial shift. On the spatial level, they were away from the current void. If they used this void as a reference, they were shrinking, but if they used the material world as a reference, they had not changed.

Only the outside world changed.

After a blackout and a feeling of weightlessness, everyone opened their eyes again, and at this time they had left the void full of monsters. They returned to the gate of the Suspended Prison Ladder.

When everyone stood still, the voice of the wise master came again: "Irrelevant people, you can leave."

The so-called "irrelevant people" refers to the losers of this duel: Gray Merchant and others.

Gray Merchant: "Dear referee, can you give us a little more time? I want to talk to the Ermi wizard on the opposite side."

The wise master did not speak, but closed his eyes, which was a kind of tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Gray Merchant bowed lightly to the wise master, and then hurried towards the direction of Angel and others.

Gray Merchant just approached, and before he could speak, he heard a cold snort.

It was Dox who snorted. He was not in a good mood now, and he was even worse when he saw Gray Merchant and others coming.

Gray Merchant looked at Dox, and then looked at others. Almost everyone's attitude towards them changed 180 degrees.

Even the Ermi wizard, who looked the most gentle before, looked at them with obvious alienation.

The reason is obvious. They don't bother to guess what the evil woman's intention is when she gave the Eye of Ancient O to the demon elephant. All they need to know is that if Wai hadn't sacrificed his talent to save his life, he would have been dead by now.

Even if he didn't have the intention to kill, the killing weapon was so powerful and uncontrollable. Does the intention still matter at this time?

Not to mention, is there really no intention to kill?

Anyway, Angel didn't believe it.

Angel also gave Kael other means, but one of these means was to save his life and had no ability to attack; the other one was that although the Speed ​​Spirit was powerful, its ability was controllable. Unlike the Eye of Ancient O, it was consumed at one time and had great power. Once it was released, it would be uncontrollable.

The reason why they still maintained restraint now was purely because of the gray merchant's previous action of saving people.
