Chapter 2804: Tryst

The energy fluctuations of the Book of Truth were as stable as ever. After the word "No" appeared, it did not disappear. This meant that Angell told the truth again.

He had never seen the man in the logo, let alone had any in-depth contact with him.

The Black Earl and others were stunned. They had really followed the logic of the Wise Lord to think that Angell might have "someone" behind him, but now it seems that they still blamed Angell wrongly.

The Wise Lord showed a look of doubt, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought again.

He guessed wrong again this time? Angell really had no contact with Orao?

That's strange. Where did Angell get so much information, and why did Adanis pay so much attention to Angell?

The Wise Lord thought hard but couldn't get it, but Angell stared at the word "No" on the Book of Truth with an expressionless face.

Everyone thought that Angell's expression meant that he was unhappy. After all, the Wise Lord suddenly added a question, which was too targeted.

But in fact, Angell had expected the question directed at him. The reason why he kept staring at the word "no" was because his answer this time was not completely from his heart.

The question asked by the wise master was: "Have you seen and contacted the man in the logo?"

The key points are "seen" and "contact". If it is only the former, Ingres can answer "no" directly, because he has not seen the man in the logo.

But if it is the latter, it is a bit difficult to say. The word "contact" is quite broad and vague. For example, if you have talked to the other party, even if you only said one sentence, it is considered contact.

In addition, "contact" can also be interpreted as meeting or encountering, which means that even one-sided contact is considered contact. This means that even if you don't talk to the other party, but just meet, it can be considered contact.

Ingres is very sure that the wise master used this word deliberately to expand the scope of this question.

Has Ingres ever contacted the man in the logo?

Answer: Yes.

This is the answer in Ingres' heart, because he believes that the man who possessed the giant narwhal in the void was the man in the logo.

The most important evidence is the words the other party said before leaving.

"Please come to the Land of the Lost... I've been waiting for too long."

The meaning of this sentence is simple and straightforward, and no explanation is needed. The implicit meaning is that the man who spoke to Angel is actually in the Land of the Lost.

According to the words of the wise master, it can be inferred that there are no outsiders in the Land of the Lost, only Adanis and... the man in the logo of the Mirror Demon.

Then the question is back. Angel had a conversation with the man who was suspected to be in the Land of the Lost during the duel, and the only man in the Land of the Lost is the man in the logo.

From this level, Angel has undoubtedly contacted the other party.

But there is another problem here. All of the above are Angel's own speculation. The so-called speculation is just a self-righteous skin wrapped around the "unknown".

Skin is just skin after all, and the important thing is the real body under the skin...that is, the truth.

Angel actually doesn't know the truth.

Even if his speculation is 99% sure, there is still a little possibility that it is wrong. After all, he had never really seen the person he was talking to, and the man had not explicitly told Angell that he was the man in the logo.

If we look at this level, Angell can completely believe that he has never contacted the other party.

He contacted an unknown man, and he had no way of knowing who this man was.

This involves the conviction of the heart, that is, everything depends on Angell's personal thoughts.

And Angell's thoughts tend to be the former. He thinks that he should answer "yes" instead of "no" to this question dominated by the wise.

There is a 99% probability that it may be the man in the logo. As a rational person, it is difficult for Angell to ignore such a high probability and instead focus on the unknown probability that is almost zero.

But

Angell still wrote "no" without hesitation. The reason for doing this is that he wanted to see what the truth book would react.

Because the conviction of the heart is contrary to the answer, under normal circumstances, the truth book will definitely react strongly.

However, the truth book did not move at all, and directly determined that "no" was the correct answer.

This made Angell doubtful.

In his opinion, there are two possibilities for the lack of reaction in the Book of Truth: First, as Angel thought before, even if 99% of the guesses are correct, guesses are just guesses, not the truth. The judgment of the Book of Truth is still based on the "absolute" truth, not on free conviction.

The second possibility is related to the one in the Nightmare Realm.

The energy that Angel input into the Book of Truth is actually the endless power of the Nightmare Realm that overflows from the green veins on his right hand. Strictly speaking, this power, or breath, is not cultivated by Angel himself.

So there is a certain possibility that the one who signed the Book of Truth may not be Angel, but the real owner of this right hand, the one in the Nightmare Realm.

If this is the case, then it is normal for the Book of Truth to have no reaction, because the one in the Nightmare Realm has indeed never come into contact with the man in the Mirror Demon Logo in reality.

Angel is currently unable to determine which of these two possibilities is true. Unless the wise master asks a clear question again, and Angel answers this question directly with a lie. If the mantra book still does not respond, then it can be determined that it is related to the person in the nightmare world; if the mantra book responds, vice versa. Likewise.

However, it was impossible for Angel to take the initiative to find the wise master for testing. He could only see if there would be other problems after the wise master meditated.

The wise man's contemplation did not last long this time. It's not that he understood it quickly, but that he couldn't figure it out at all... Since he can't figure it out for the time being, let it go first.

When the Mantra Book Contract was signed for the first time, the Wise Master stated that he would not delve into Angel's affairs in depth. Since this time's test did not yield results, he simply let it go.

After giving up thinking, the wise master instantly felt much more relaxed.

It was obvious that Angel was not even a fraction of his age, but for some reason, when facing Angel, he always had the illusion that he was facing a complicated formula. He thought he had figured it out, solved it, and was thorough, but he was slapped in the face the next second. His thinking was wrong from beginning to end. Then he overturned it and deduced it again. When he got the answer, he thought he understood it, but the mantra book slapped him in the face again, which made the wise master feel very uncomfortable.

For the first time in so many years, he, who was known for his wisdom, felt the unfathomable distress.

Choosing to give up gives me a sense of relief.

The wise master looked deeply at Angel and sighed in his heart for a moment. He no longer thought about it and turned his eyes to the Black Earl: "This is the end of the question of right and wrong."

Black Earl: "Is it your turn to explain next?"

The wise master smiled: "Don't worry, I will explain why I mentioned these right and wrong questions, and at the same time, I will also fulfill my promise and tell you about the situation in the legacy area."

After a pause, the wise master slowly spoke: "The first question I ask you is, Clear Sky Poetry Chamber. I am a little surprised that the descendants of Noah do not know this name."

"Because the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber was built by the ancestor of your Noah family, Augustine, through all possible means. It may be a bit far-fetched to say that the ownership right belongs to your Noah family; but to say that it is your ancestral land is not true. That’s right.”

The Black Earl seemed to have thought of something: "Could it be that the Clear Sky Poetry Room is..."

The wise master nodded: "Yes, the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber is the legacy place you have always mentioned."

Then, the wise master began to tell the story of that year starting from the Qingkong Poetry Room.

"This matter begins with Augustine's love affair with Margaret, the daughter of the warden of the Prison Staircase..."

Back then, Augustine and Margaret became attached to each other because of their encounter, and became companions because of their love poems; however, the Noah family was weak at that time, and even though Augustine was a genius, Warden Franklin was still unwilling to let him go. His own daughter came into contact with Augustine.

Another point is that Augustine is a genius, but Margaret is also a genius, and her brilliance is no less dazzling than Augustine's.

Faced with such a dazzling existence as Margaret, Augustine could not find any other means to please him. He could only express his feelings and sincerity with love poems. This shows how stretched he was in front of Margaret. .

However, the warden's obstruction did not make Margaret and Augustine give up their love.

They began to meet secretly, secretly passing notes and love poems.

At that time, the middleman who helped them pass notes and love poems was Xicia. At that time, Ciccia and Margaret were best friends.

But later, something went wrong on Xixia's side and she chose to marry the box. Since then, the matter of the love poem has been shelved.

However, this did not hinder the development of the young couple.

Margaret used her talents to attract the arrival of the Wise Lord. In order to communicate with Margaret, the Wise Lord even lived near the prison ladder.

You know, at that time, Warden Franklin was one of the masters of Naraku City, and the Wise Man was also one of the masters.

They are at the same level, so logically, they would not be arranged to live so close to each other. But because of Margaret's astonishing talent, the Wise Master broke the rules and chose to live near the Prison Staircase and built a residence, which is now the Wise Man's Hall.

"Margaret is really, really talented, especially in alchemy and magic patterns. She can be said to be the strongest person in Naraku City at that time. Most of the magic energy arrays in the underground waterways use Margaret's suggestion."

"The scenery was unparalleled at that time." The wise master sighed: "To be honest, I didn't expect that such a proud woman would fall in love with Augustine. What I didn't expect was that Mag The last reason why Lite communicated with me was because of that little brat... ahem, I mean Augustine."

After all, the Black Earl, a descendant of Noah, was present, and the wise master could not slander his ancestor in person, so he had to change his words.

After building the Hall of the Wise, Margaret often came here in the name of communication. And Warden Franklin had no excuse to stop it. After all, the identity of the wise master was unusual.

But is Margaret really here to communicate?

A small part is, but a large part is to meet Augustine.

Even for their meeting, Augustine and Margaret secretly built a private meeting place.

And this place for private meetings is the Qingkong Poetry Room.

It was difficult to hide the construction of a secret base in the underground waterway from the warden, but they still succeeded, thanks to the help of the wise master.

The wise master turned the nearby area into his own territory, and the warden could not spy on it, which gave the young couple a safe construction environment.

It can be said that the wise master is the successor of Xixia, and under his protection, the young couple had a place to meet.

As for why the wise master was willing to help Margaret and Augustine build this clear sky poetry room, it all originated from Margaret's words.

"I can open up a safe place in the complex magic array of the underground waterway that is absolutely not affected by the magic array and will not be discovered by any master. Does the wise master want to see it? However, if the wise master wants to see it, he must help me hide it from my father, otherwise my father will definitely not agree."

The wise master, who was obsessed with alchemy at the time, nodded without hesitation, and ended up boarding Margaret's pirate ship and becoming an accomplice in building the clear sky poetry room.

Finally, the Clear Sky Poetry Room was built. As a protector, the Wise Lord actually only went in a few times.

Most of the time, it was the place where Margaret and Augustine had a tryst.

Since the Naraku Incident, the Clear Sky Poetry Room was directly closed, and the Wise Lord had no chance to go in. Ten thousand years have passed, and the Wise Lord actually doesn't know what the Clear Sky Poetry Room has become now.

"As for the Clear Sky Poetry Room back then, I remember the internal layout, but it's just a surface distribution map. Augustine may have built a secret room inside, and I don't know about these places."

After speaking, the Wise Lord lightly tapped the Book of Truth.

At the same time, the internal layout map of the Clear Sky Poetry Room appeared on the pages of the books in front of everyone.

The Black Earl took a look and didn't find anything special about the Clear Sky Poetry Room for the time being. It was just like an ordinary building, with a hall, a poetry collection room, a study, a kitchen, and a poetry recitation room.

"It seems there is no bedroom?" Dox muttered.

The wise master glanced at Dox lightly: "There is indeed no bedroom, which is why I think Augustine may have built a secret room."

"But then again, even if there is a bedroom, Augustine and Margaret may not take me to visit."

As for the reason, everyone understands.

Except for the bedroom, no one else thinks there is anything wrong with the clear sky poetry room. Only Angel, looking at this distribution map, has a little doubt in his heart.
