Chapter 2807 The Real World
"Adanis showed such strength that she was even more powerful than the former guide. And Orao has not appeared for thousands of years. The wise master only guessed that he was sleeping, and had no doubts. He encountered Unexpected?" Black Earl asked.
Wise Lord: "According to the contract, she will not do anything to Orao."
"Contract, haha." The Black Earl sneered with some disdain: "If a contract that was made ten thousand years ago has never been updated, it will have fewer loopholes than a sieve."
"What's more, even if there is a contract, if Orao doesn't show up, you won't suspect that he is dead? Or that he is under house arrest?"
The wise master looked at the Black Earl and said calmly: "Even if I think about it, what's the point?"
To the Black Count, an orthodox descendant of Noah, Adanis is by no means someone who protects the legacy of her ancestors. What she is doing now is more like an enemy of the Noah family. As for Orao, although he seems to have acquiesced in Adanis' behavior, who knows if there is something wrong with him. If something goes wrong, then Orao's behavior can be understood.
At least, in the Black Earl's view, Orao may be closer to the guardian of the legacy.
However, the wise master and the black count have different positions and ideas. The wise master does have some old feelings for Orao, but this friendship only lasted a few months. Adanis, on the other hand, has been dealing with him for thousands of years.
The Wise Lord obviously cares more about Adanis than Orao.
Moreover, whether Oraao ends up dead or under house arrest, it doesn't matter to the wise master. Because his value is now far lower than Adanis.
The slaves sent by Adanis helped stabilize the dirty energy of the magic energy array; Adanis herself was proficient in the magic energy array, and it was Adanis who helped stabilize the overall situation when the prison ladder encountered the void storm.
Therefore, Orao doesn't matter now, Adanis is more important.
What's more, through a lot of detailed analysis and speculation, the wise master can basically confirm that nothing happened to Orao, and he was indeed sleeping most of the time.
Also, it is absolutely impossible for Adanis to take action against Orao.
The wise master even suspected that the reason why Adanis still stayed in the underground waterway was because of Orao.
Whether the bond between them is specifically family, friendship or love, the wise master does not know. But what Adanis did, she definitely took Orao's feelings into consideration.
Otherwise, with the wise master's understanding of Adanis's character, she would be really determined to deal with the descendants of Noah, and she would never show mercy.
Looking back on the past, Adanis can be said to be quite merciful to the descendants of Noah. Even the descendants of Noah who were swallowed by Younu were not physically harmed. Basically, they just need to be thrown into the sea of empty mirrors to wash their memories. After making sure that they will not remember what happened in the underground waterway, they will be let go alive.
This may sound easy, but in practice it is difficult. Because the Sea of Empty Mirror is quite dangerous, even the creatures inside the mirror must proceed with caution. Adanis always washes away the memories of Noah's descendants in such a complicated way and then lets them go. Isn't that because she takes Orao's emotions into consideration.
Including this time, Adanis mainly targeted Angel, and said nothing about the descendants of Noah... Of course, this time also because the descendants of Noah seemed to Adanis to be the same as before, so Didn't take it seriously at all.
The Black Earl is not stupid either. If you think about it from the perspective of a wise master, you will understand what he means.
He doesn't blame the Wise Lord for considering too much utilitarianism. If it were him, he would consider practical issues first before talking about other things.
but……
"Since you have decided to side with Adanis, why do you choose to help us?"
The Black Earl's question was not the first time they had asked it, but the wise masters had previously given very ambiguous answers. Since the wise master wants to show sincerity this time, will he have a new answer to the same question?
The wise ruler pondered for a long time this time, and then said: "There are many internal reasons, including subjective thoughts and subconscious impulses, and so on. If I really want to list them all, I may not be able to list them all myself. List them all.”
"However, these reasons are all trivial and are an internal driving force. When attributed to one core, it is actually just one word."
When the wise master paused, he stretched out his finger and wrote a character on the mantra book.
Change.
The most basic meaning of this character in mainland Chinese is: to break the existing status quo.
And what the wise master wants to express happens to be the most basic interpretation.
Maintaining the status quo has many benefits. But in the long run, we will only become content with the status quo and neglect to cope with changes.
The wise master can maintain such a stable status quo... for ten thousand years, but his lifespan cannot allow him to maintain it for another ten thousand years. Even if we don’t find a solution and have no chance of breakthrough, it will remain a problem for thousands of years.
It is impossible for the wise ruler not to care about his own life span, but apart from life insurance, what he cares more about is whether he can see Naraku regain his glory.
If he just silently waits for Naraku's return as he did in the past, the wise master does not think that he can see any hope in his limited lifespan.
Therefore, he has been thinking about whether there is a way to break the status quo.
Until Angel and others arrived, the wise master saw a glimmer of hope from their performance along the way.
Perhaps, this is the variable he is waiting for.
"Who are you kidding? I don't believe it," Doakes muttered.
The wise master looked at Dox and said nothing, but the questioning in his eyes was very straightforward.
Dox: "What the master is looking forward to is a variable, but it is better to create a variable yourself than to expect an external variable. I don't believe that the master will regard us as a variable anyway."
In the words of the wise master, their importance was infinitely elevated. Is this possible? It's not that Dox doesn't know how to flatter them, but these words sounded too flattering to Dox.
Also, the most important point is
The wise master really hopes that the balance of the underground waterway for thousands of years will be broken and hopes for some changes. Why did he choose the legacy land to start with?
In the previous words of the wise master, the two "spirits" of Orao and Adanis were not important enough to affect the future of the underground waterway.
So, using the Qingkong Poetry Room to talk about the "change" of the underground waterway, how could he believe the words of the wise master?
The wise master: "I know what you are thinking. You are right. Even if the huge underground waterway has become a ruin, it is not easy to find a suitable variable."
"I know that some of you have great backgrounds. Just relying on the ability of the backers, you can turn the underground waterway upside down."
"But, destruction is easy, but breaking the situation is difficult."
"For me, what I need is to break the situation, not destruction."
"I never hope to break the situation all at once." The wise master whispered: "For me, the Qingkong Poetry Room is a prying point. As long as it can be pried, many solidified deadlocks can gradually loosen."
What the wise master wants is to pry a little and plan the overall situation.
As for why the Qingkong Poetry Room will become the beginning of the breakthrough, the reason is very simple, because in the entire underground waterway, only the Qingkong Poetry Room is not controlled by the wise master.
Only by completely controlling the underground waterway can the wise master implement the means of "breaking the status quo" without worries.
"It sounds good, but they are all ideals." Dox: "And ideals are hard to achieve."
Everyone actually agreed with Dox, but they didn't speak.
After a few seconds of silence, the Black Earl asked: "Why do you think we are variables? What do you expect us to do after we go to the Clear Sky Poetry Room? To what extent do we have to do it? To pry open the point of breaking the situation?"
The Wise Master: "As long as you can successfully reach the Clear Sky Poetry Room, you don't need to do anything after that, just go with the flow and let the situation develop."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other, and some didn't understand what the Wise Master meant by doing this.
Just a second ago, he said they were important variables, but the next second, why did he have the illusion of "abandoning pawns"?
"Don't be surprised. Fate is not absolutely predetermined. Even a prophetic wizard can hardly get ashore in time when the tide of fate comes. Only by responding to the situation at the right time and place can we correct the predetermined fate."
"I didn't have any plans before you came in. As the situation changes, I will continue to revise my ideas. Now, although I don't think my ideas are absolutely correct, they have matured, and I am willing to act impulsively for this."
After the wise master finished speaking, perhaps because he saw that the doubts in everyone's eyes were still there, he said in a more straightforward tone:
"Just like before, you didn't do anything, didn't she start to behave abnormally? I don't know why she is abnormal, but I think your existence is a variable."
"When the variable entered the Qingkong Poetry Room, the beginning of the break was actually gathering momentum."
While the wise master said this, words continued to appear on the book of truth, which showed that the wise master did analyze his inner thoughts.
However, it is hard to say whether it is a sincere analysis or a selective analysis. However, at least everyone could understand what he said now, and the Book of Truth also told them that the Wise Lord was telling the truth.
Since the Wise Lord had said this, the Black Earl did not ask more questions on this topic, but asked: "Besides this, does the Wise Lord have any other information to add about the Relics and the Clear Sky Poetry Room?"
So far, the Wise Lord has talked about many things that happened in the past, and also talked about some of the past conditions of the Clear Sky Poetry Room, but these are all superficial. The current situation of the Clear Sky Poetry Room and more in-depth content have almost not been mentioned at all.
"I don't know much about the current situation in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, but I have called someone who knows something about the inside story."
"Who?"
The Wise Lord: "You will see it soon."
The Wise Lord paused and continued: "You can ask some other questions now. Or do you have no questions?"
After the Wise Lord finished speaking, Dox raised his hand eagerly and said: "Me, me, me!"
The Wise Lord looked at Dox and said softly: "Well... For the time being, it is limited to the problem of the underground sewer."
Dox immediately wilted and put down his raised hand with a listless look.
At this time, Wai raised his hand timidly: "Can I ask a question?"
The Wise Lord nodded and motioned Wai to speak.
"Why did Adanis drag Orao into playing the Mirror Demon? Also, does the Mirror Demon really not exist? What is the final fate of those believers?"
As for Wai's question, the first one is of more concern to everyone, but the second one is meaningless. At least it is of no value to the current situation, after all, it happened ten thousand years ago.
"Why did Orao also play a role in the Mirror Demon God? This... I don't know."
The Wise Lord met Orao once after the fall of Naraku City. The theft of treasures by the Demon God followers happened later, and he couldn't contact Orao since then.
"However, according to the information I got from some believers I captured, it is basically certain that Orao did not participate in the plan of the Mirror Demon God."
"Perhaps Adanis forced him in to declare that everything he did was approved by Orao. And Orao took back Augustine and Margaret's things, and outsiders really couldn't question it."
Angel agreed with what the wise master said, but he also added: "From the perspective of the design of this mark, it actually reflects the two sides of the mirror."
"The mirror has an inside and an outside, and the corresponding demon mark should also have an inside and an outside. In other words, the appearance of the god in the mirror and the god outside the mirror in the mark is more in line with the meaning of the mark itself."
"Angel also makes sense." The wise master looked at Wai: "You can choose which statement you believe, or believe both statements."
Wai nodded. Indeed, both statements are credible and do not conflict. You can believe either one. He personally thinks that both can be believed.
"As for your second question." The wise master: "As far as I know, I have never heard of any mirror demon in the abyss, or similar demons, but they are not on the barren side... Well, you should know what the barren side means, right?"
Angel and the Black Earl nodded, but the others looked around blankly.
The wise master sighed and briefly talked about the phase side of the abyss, and the corresponding "barren side" in the southern wizard world.
The two apprentices were stunned. They went to the abyss at the very surface, and near the stronghold city.
They had no idea what was deeper in the abyss, and they didn't expect that the abyss they saw and knew was just an ordinary phase side of the abyss.
You know, even the barren side is already huge to the extreme, they can't imagine that there are more phase sides in the abyss. And in other aspects, there are also demons they have never heard of...
"Are you surprised? The Pan-Plane is very large, and there are many worlds larger than the South. When you embark on your journey, you will slowly get used to it." Dox said earnestly with an experienced look.
Kael accepted it humbly.
But Wai sneered coldly: "You haven't heard of the Barren Face either, why are you pretending now?"
Dox: "I just..."
"You just don't have a source of information." Wai answered for Dox: "Why don't you have a source of information? Freedom, freedom is so precious. It's called freedom, but in fact, it's just a beautiful shell to cover up your ignorance."
Wai's words hit Dox's heart.
Indeed, he didn't know about the Barren Face, which was the reason for the lack of information. He had his own channels for big and small things in the South, but once he got outside the South, the bigger world, he was completely confused.
And as a wizard, he couldn't stick to the South forever.
One day, he would go out. But if he went out without any source of information, he would most likely just get lost in the vast void.
After a moment of silence, Dox hummed from his nose: "It's normal to have no information now, but there will be some in the future."
Although Dox spoke in a low voice, everyone heard him and understood what he meant.
He obviously planned to "repay Angel with his own body".
Wai snorted and didn't say anything, but he was happy for his best friend's choice.
As for Angel, he smiled lightly and was already thinking about how to use Dox's abilities, especially his unique inspiration ability...
