Chapter 2767 What the Evil Woman Thought
The evil woman has set her eyes on the skin of Simos?
Angel narrowed his eyes, and a guess slowly came to his mind.
Could it be that the evil woman gave the Eye of Ancient O to the demon elephant just to snatch the skin of Simos in the duel?
Originally, this was just Angel's random guess, but I don't know if it was because she was guilty or something else, the evil woman's eyes never met Angel's, and she seemed to be avoiding it intentionally.
This made Angel more suspicious.
Could it be... that he guessed it?
Angel further thought about the possibility of this inference, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
According to their previous judgment, the Eye of Ancient O was most likely the evil woman's. After all, she was the only wizard of the transformation lineage present.
Because the rules of the duel do not limit external means, it doesn't matter if the wizards on both sides give the apprentices some "help". However, it is too blatant to take out the Eye of Ancient O, a weapon that can cause serious damage to even formal wizards.
This is the rhythm of killing.
Even if it was not against the rules on the stage, it was equivalent to declaring war on them off the stage.
The evil woman already knew that the Black Earl's clone was here, but she still made such a decision, which was really incredible. Wasn't she afraid of offending the Black Earl?
Angel was a little confused about this question before, but now, combined with the evil woman's request, he seemed to understand a little.
The target of the evil woman was not Wai, but Kael. To be precise, it was the skin of Simos on Kael.
According to the situation in the previous duel, Kael had a high probability of fighting continuously. If the demon elephant defeated or killed Kael with the Eye of Guao, according to the "winner's spoils" method mentioned by Angel before, the evil woman had every reason to take the skin of Simos from Kael, the loser.
In this way, she got the skin of Simos and did not offend the Black Earl.
After all, Kael had touched the lens before, and the lens did not react, which confirmed that he was not from the Noah clan. Moreover, if you observe some of Kael's behaviors carefully, you will find that he is more like an academic apprentice or a wandering apprentice.
Whether it is an academic or a wandering apprentice, they are all soft persimmons in the eyes of the evil woman. If Kael is really killed, it is estimated that it will not cause much splash.
This is why the demon elephant appears with the Eye of Ancient O.
But what the evil woman did not expect was that Kael did not appear on the stage, but Wai, who was seriously injured by the bacterial barrier before, recovered with full blood and returned to the arena.
There was also a problem on the side of the demon elephant. Because he was holding the Eye of Ancient O, he was a little absent-minded, and Wai seized the opportunity and suppressed him continuously.
In order not to lose in this battle, he had no choice but to activate the Eye of Ancient O.
So all the following situations happened.
The above is the review of Angel in his mind. Although this is just a guess, Angel has a feeling that perhaps this is the truth.
When Angel was thinking about this, the voice of Dox sounded in the mind band.
"Could it be that the evil woman gave the Eye of Ancient to the Demon Elephant for the Skin of Simos?"
Obviously, Dox and Angell had the same idea.
Angel did not answer, and Dox just nodded and stopped talking, but everyone looked at the evil woman and fell into thought.
They did not make excessive associations before, but now with Wai's guess and Angell and the Black Earl's "tacit consent", it is equivalent to "drawing the target before shooting the arrow". It is much easier to look for clues along the way after knowing the result.
As everyone "woke up" one after another, they looked at the evil woman with more and more rejection.
The evil woman was probably a little scared by being stared at by everyone, and couldn't help asking again: "I wonder if Mr. Ermi is willing to make this deal with me. As long as the price offered by Mr. is reasonable..."
Angel: "No."
"Ah?" The evil woman asked doubtfully: "What do you mean, sir?"
Angel: "No. I still have use for the skin of Simos, and I won't transfer it."
The evil woman's eyes showed disappointment, but she still didn't give up: "As long as you agree, I can even find a half-step mysterious object for you."
When the evil woman said "half-step mysterious object", everyone except Angel was stunned. Mysterious objects are quite rare. Even half-step mysterious objects contain a lot of energy, and sometimes they are even more applicable than the official effects.
Just when everyone was wondering whether Angel would be moved by this, Angel shook his head again and refused, and the wording was more direct than before: "I don't agree."
"Why?" The evil woman's voice sank, and the breath around her gradually became depressed.
Angel said nothing, but looked at the evil woman quietly. Now the evil woman's breath has not posed a threat, but if it continues... Angel doesn't mind dealing with her.
Angel's silence was considered a provocation by the evil woman, and her breath became more and more suppressed. When it was suppressed to the extreme, the explosion would inevitably follow.
However, Angel did not wait for the evil woman to vent. Before the evil woman was about to lose control of her emotions, the gray merchant pulled her back first.
After glaring at the evil woman, the gray merchant bowed deeply to Angel: "I apologize to the sir on behalf of the evil woman..."
Before the gray merchant could finish the sentence "Apologize to the gentleman", he was interrupted by Angel: "She hasn't done anything yet, why do you bow to me? Why not wait for her to vent first, and then talk about the follow-up?"
Angel's tone was sincere, but almost anyone could hear the provocation in his words.
The evil woman also heard it, but perhaps the help from the gray merchant worked. She restrained her emotions this time and lowered her head, pretending not to hear Angel's provocation.
Angel set up the stage, but the evil woman did not perform, which disappointed Angel and he even lost interest in greeting the gray merchant.
The gray merchant also saw Angel's impatience and whispered: "I will wait outside for Mr. Ermi to return."
After speaking, the gray merchant led everyone into the space channel on the side and finally disappeared completely.
This space channel was specially opened by the wise master for the gray merchant and others. It does not lead directly to the outside world, but to the former working area of the ladder of the suspended prison, that is, the area with many witch ghosts.
The main reason why the wise master did not teleport them out directly was that there were still some members of the traveling merchant organization in the working area, who were dealing with the two wizard-level witch ghosts. Through the monitoring of the magic energy array, the wise master has already noticed that the situation over there is not good.
If the gray merchant and others don't go over, it is estimated that those who stay behind will also suffer heavy casualties.
The wise master still has some good feelings for the traveling merchant organization... especially the gray merchant and his subordinates. They have helped to recycle and precipitate the dark energy in the underground waterway for reuse over the years, which can be regarded as saving him a lot of energy. This time is also a return from the wise master.
After the gray merchant and his group disappeared, Dox said: "My inspiration tells me that I guessed right just now."
Angel: "So?"
Dox saw that Angel looked indifferent, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you angry? She planned to take the skin of Simos by force!"
Angel: "But she didn't do it."
Dox wanted to say something, but Angel added: "Besides, even if the evil woman planned to take the skin of Simos by force, what's the problem? Don't some people want to get the skin of Simos for free?"
As soon as Angel finished speaking, he heard Wai covering his mouth and laughing. The "certain people" here, without a doubt, refers to Dox.
Dox also heard the hidden meaning of Angell, but he didn't feel ashamed at all, and even said shamelessly: "Our relationship is different."
Angell raised his eyebrows: "I have nothing to do with you."
Dox came forward and said flatteringly: "Let's not talk about now, won't you be my employer in the future?"
Dox's words surprised both Wai and Angell.
Before, Angell did hint to Dox, but Dox was obviously very resistant at that time. Even if he finally accepted it, he attributed it to "inspiration". But now, Dox seems to have completely changed. Not only did he not reject it, but he also took the initiative to express his attitude.
This surprised Angell.
However, whether Dox expressed his attitude or not, Angell didn't care. The most difference is that in the future Dox will choose to work for him in the Cross Bar or in the Savage Cave.
Dox: "Besides, our relationship is at least close friends, right?"
Angel: "There is no 'and', your close friend is only Wai."
Dox: "Even if we are not close friends, we are good friends. Otherwise, why didn't you agree to trade with the evil woman just now, but agreed to trade with me?"
Dox was not asking Angel, but stating his own opinion, so Angel ignored him.
However, Dox was right. Not to mention the evil woman, even if the Black Earl came to him to trade the skin of Simos, Angel would refuse.
The only one who did not refuse was Dox, and the reason was actually mentioned by Dox, which was indeed a question of "closeness of relationship".
The premise that Angel was willing to give up was because Dox still owed him, and Dox could only use his own labor as collateral. And this just happened to be in line with Angel's original intention. He originally planned to pull Dox into his circle. If the transaction was successful, trading with Dox was equivalent to trading with his own people, expanding the strength of his own circle, so Angel was naturally willing.
But if the transaction is to an outsider, Angel thinks it is unnecessary.
Although he does not care too much about the skin of Simos, because he can find Simos's traces through Wangwang's intelligence network, there is a problem here. Angel cannot hunt Simos alone.
If you really want to hunt Simos, you must need the help of others. Maybe Sanders alone may not be enough. It is better to pull Lord Rhine or Iron Armor Granny.
Even if they will not refuse Angel's request, Angel himself will be embarrassed.
There is no need to do this deliberately when you can't get any good.
To put it bluntly, Dox and anyone else just stand at the psychological intersection of "I am willing" and "unwilling" in Angel's heart.
Dox can barely do it, while others, whether it is the evil woman or the black earl, can barely do it.
However, even if Dox is right, Angel has no intention of admitting it. Ignoring Dox directly, Angel walked towards the direction of the wise master.
Seeing this, others immediately followed.
Although Dox was mumbling to himself, he did not stop talking.
The Black Earl had been talking to the Wise Lord, talking about the world inside the mirror and the situation of the Younu and One-Eyed families. The Black Earl did not stop until everyone came over.
"Congratulations on your victory." The wise master had taken off his hood at this time, and his voice was no longer as cold as when he was the referee before, returning to a relaxed tone.
Doakes: "If the tone were more sincere, Vai, Kalel, I, and I would definitely cooperate with Lord Master's performance and show how flattered we are."
The wise master already knows Doakes's character and knows that he loves to argue and complain. However, the wise master is not Angel. Angel can ignore Doakes's complaints, but he will not tolerate it.
"One-half." The wise master looked at Doakes with a smile.
Doakes was stunned for a moment: "One-half, what do you mean?"
The Wise Man Rules: "One third."
Doakes: "Huh?"
Wise Lord: "If you open your mouth again, you will become a quarter."
Hearing this, Doakes' pupils shrank suddenly: "Damn it, shouldn't you be talking about my reward?"
The wise master smiled and nodded: "That's right, the reward you got in exchange for the Sunlight Temple. By the way, it's only a quarter now."
Doakes looked shocked and wanted to argue, but looking at the smiling expression of the wise master, he endured it.
He was afraid that if he spoke any more, his reward would be only one-fifth.
After Doakes remained silent, the wise master turned his head and said to everyone: "The duel is exciting, but this is just a trivial first level. You still need to pass the trial of Younu to truly pass. ”
"As for your next arrangements, I have already told Angel before. You can ask him directly later."
"As for me, due to the agreement with 'her', I have to return to my residence now. However, I believe that with your strength, you will find her soon."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again."
After finishing speaking, the figure of the Wise Lord began to become gradually blurred. At this time, everyone discovered that the Wise Lord had actually left, and what was here was just an illusion of his.
Seeing that the wise master was about to disappear, Doakes finally couldn't help it anymore: "My..."
"One fifth." The wise master didn't even turn his head and directly gave a critical hit.
Doakes stumbled as he clutched his "defense-breaking" chest.
Before disappearing, the wise master left one last sentence: "By the way, I have arranged a little surprise for you on the way. I hope you will like it..."
