Chapter 2815: Keep Moving Forward
When everyone gathered again in the Hall of the Wise, it was already an hour later.
Doakes's expression was filled with secret joy, and the corners of his mouth would curl up from time to time, but every time he raised it, he was afraid of being discovered, so he immediately put on a stern attitude.
From this point of view, the "treasure" Doakes received from the wise master should be very satisfying to him.
Vai and Kael were unabashedly happy. They read a lot of books in the study room, many of which were not available in the outside world, or in other words, were inaccessible at their level. These are extremely valuable knowledge. Even if they only have one hour of reading time,... the wise master does not prohibit them from using cheating methods such as image stones or reading techniques.
Therefore, their gains are real. Even if they don't gain anything from the next visit to the Qingkong Poetry Room, their trip will definitely be worth it.
The Black Earl and Angel were as calm as ever, without showing any emotion. But in the eyes of others, they would definitely get better if they talked to the Wise Lord alone.
"That's all I can do and say. If you have nothing to ask, just move on. Of course, if you want to rest, you can rest here for a while. However, the longer you stay, the more time you need to prepare for the goddess. It will take longer. So, it’s up to you to decide how to weigh it.”
As the wise master spoke, he waved his hand, and the door to the passage on the other side was instantly opened.
Looking deep into the hall, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, only gusts of cold wind blowing.
Everyone discussed it in the psychic belt and finally decided: move on now.
However, before leaving the Hall of Wise Men, Angel took the trouble to ask Kael and Vai again for their opinions and whether they planned to continue.
In Angel's opinion, both Kael and Vai can actually stay in the Hall of Wise Men. At least here, they were safe.
And the way forward... is always unpredictable.
No one can guarantee their safety.
Even though Angel may have a trump card, Kael and Vai are only apprentices after all. If they are really in danger, Angel cannot guarantee whether they can save their lives before the trump card is used up.
Facing Angel's inquiry, Kael said without hesitation: "I will not give up."
Even though Laplace told Kael that this was not his destination. But Kael still wants to continue. What he wants to prove is that his enthusiasm for historical relics is not only due to the influence of the remnant soul, but also his love from the heart.
In the eyes of others, Kael's choice was a sign of stubbornness.
But as outsiders, they couldn't say much. What's more, Kael moved forward on the grounds of proving the truth in his heart, and they couldn't stop him.
Maybe this is a hurdle or a demonic obstacle in Kael's heart. If he doesn't cross it himself, Kael is likely to die, so no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, Kael will not give up.
Vai's answer was the same as Kael's, and he also planned to continue.
Vai is a descendant of the Noah clan. If he doesn't even dare to go to the place of his ancestors, then he probably won't have the courage to go his own way in the future.
It is even more impossible to catch up with Doakes.
However, Vai was very decisive when he made the decision, but after making the decision, he began to worry.
Vai's actions in the next second opened everyone's eyes.
I saw Vai walking up to Doakes, grabbing his sleeve, and asking seriously: "Do you feel sadness and pain in your heart now? Do you feel as if the sky is falling?"
Doakes was a little confused and didn't know what Vai meant, but he still said truthfully: "No."
When Vai heard what Doakes said, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I should be safe."
After hearing Vai's words, everyone realized that Vai was using Doakes as a "danger detector". Doakes' inspiration was extremely strong. Since Doakes didn't feel sad, Vai felt that he would be fine next.
Dox was stunned for a moment, and realized what Vai meant. He couldn't help but said: "Why do you think I will be sad? Let me tell you, even if you die here, I won't feel uncomfortable at all." . It won’t work if you use me as your tester!”
Doakes expressed righteously that he didn't care at all about Vai's safety.
However, Vai pretended not to hear it.
Vai knew Doakes very well. This guy was a man of integrity.
When they were adventuring together, Doakes once thought that Vai was dead and was depressed for more than half a year. This is evident from this.
What's more, Vai has saved Doakes many times and has a real sense of saving lives. With Doakes's character, he would have died before he could return his love to Vai, which would definitely become a knot in Doakes' heart.
Therefore, Vai didn't care at all about Doakes' solemn statement now, and just ignored it.
…
After choosing to move on, everyone did not delay. They said goodbye to the wise master and walked towards the next passage.
The wise master did not say anything sensational or expected, but quietly watched everyone disappear into the depths of the passage.
He has said what needs to be said, and will do what needs to be done in the future. Now it’s up to them to see if they can come out successfully.
There is no doubt that Earl Black can come out. Even if the clone dies, the main body will come. But cooperating with the Black Earl is just a back-up move by the wise man. What he really values is Angel, a chess piece full of variables.
Perhaps only Angel can make this stagnant chess game stir up new waves.
"Lord Lord, I just received news from my mother that Her Majesty the Goddess may have laid a trap on the road ahead." Suddenly, a voice came into the ears of the Black Earl.
Following the sound, he saw a dark hole in the wall.
"It's Erbao."
Dumu Erbao: "Lord Master, do you want to inform them?"
The wise master shook his head: "No need, the goddess will do everything possible to block their progress. They themselves know this, so they must be prepared for the dangers ahead. It doesn't matter whether you notify them or not."
"Furthermore, I have an agreement with the goddess. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not control the magic energy array near the Qingkong Poetry Room. And if you go, it will make the goddess suspect that I have broken the agreement."
"Now, it's not time yet."
As for when the time will come? Naturally, Angel and others successfully left the Clear Sky Poetry Room, and that's when the wise master would take the initiative to intervene.
Although the wise master did not intend to intervene now, he still walked silently to the depths of the hall - the place he said was the bedroom.
In terms of purpose, this place is indeed the bedroom where the wise master took his original form.
However, this is not just a bedroom, there is a secret room hidden here, which is a core node of the underground sewer magic energy array.
Originally, there was no core node here. But after the Naraku incident, the remaining masters worked together to move the core node of the magic array to the hall of the wise master.
Because the wise master has the longest lifespan, he will also be the only master who remains awake in the future.
After doing all this, the other masters fell into deep sleep, waiting for Naraku's glory to return.
The wise ruler will guard this core node for thousands of years in the blink of an eye.
The wise master is now unable to control the core nodes of the magic energy array to help Angel. However, their auras are recorded in the mantra book, and the wise master can sense their status and approximate location through their auras and combined with the magic energy array.
If Angel and others really suffered a fatal blow before arriving at the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber, the wise master would still come to help.
Whether it is Angel or the Black Earl, the benefits of showing kindness to them are definitely higher than refusing to save them.
…
At this time, everyone who walked out of the Wise Man's Hall returned to the dark passage.
One second they were in the warm and comfortable Hall of the Wise Man, and the next second they were in a cold and long passage with no end in sight. For a moment, everyone had the illusion that time and space were changing.
"Fortunately, although the passage here is a little dark, at least there is no smell." Doakes muttered.
Everyone was convinced that during their journey to the Wise Man's Hall, they could smell a faint stench along the way, especially at the forks in the road. The stench at one of the intersections was so strong that it reached the extreme.
If they hadn't been running fast at that time, they would have fainted from the smell.
And now the passage here is also dark, but there is no smell, which also means that the passage here does not lead to the smelly ditch.
This was a very good experience for them, especially the Black Earl.
Doakes's opening can be regarded as breaking the silence, so that everyone's atmosphere did not continue to cool down because of the unknown road ahead, but warmed up again.
Doakes looked around and finally locked his eyes on Angel: "What did you and the wise master talk about alone? Did he give you anything good?"
Angel glanced at Doakes and said nothing.
As early as when he was in the hall, he noticed that Doakes was full of curiosity about him and the Black Earl. He seemed to think that they must have gotten something good. He always wanted to ask, but never had the chance to ask.
Now that he had just left the Hall of Wise Men, Doakes couldn't help it anymore. He didn't dare to ask the Black Earl, but as for Angel, he still dared to provoke him.
"Let's talk about it, it's not something shameful." Doakes wanted to put his arm around Angel's shoulders and try to be nice to the two brothers, but Angel speeded up a little and evaded Doakes. magic hand.
"Since we are talking in private, it is naturally something that cannot be discussed outside." Angel said calmly.
Doakes was not discouraged and continued to pester: "If you can't say it, just don't say it. Then pick and choose what you can say?"
Angel wanted to say that there was nothing he could say, but looking at Doakes, he would definitely not give up until his goal was achieved.
After thinking for a while, Angel said: "Don't talk about me first, what about you? What did you get from the wise master?"
"It's nothing. Whatever I can get, it's just useless..." As soon as Doakes mentioned his gains, he started to talk about him.
Angel: "The Sunlight Temple itself belongs to me. In other words, what you get is actually..."
Doakes quickly interrupted Angel: "How can this be the same? Haven't I become yours?"
"Speak clearly to me." Angel said while moving away from Doakes in disgust.
Doakes didn't care and continued to say shamelessly: "Let's not talk about other things for now, haven't I given up the most precious freedom? Isn't this supposed to be mine?"
Angel looked at Dox deeply. This guy used to say "Long live freedom", but now he has thrown the so-called freedom aside for some benefits.
However, this is also Dox's official statement that he is willing to work for Angel and Fantasy Island.
For this reason, Angel did not ask Dox about his gains, and said lightly: "I just talked to the wise master about the sweet dream."
At that time, after Angel talked with the wise master about the source worshipers, experiments and snakes, he focused on the sweet dream.
"Sweet dream? Are you going to trade the sweet dream with the wise master?" Dox asked in surprise.
Others also looked over.
There must be more to what Angel and the wise master talked about, but if Angel didn't say anything else, they couldn't force him to ask. Just the topic that Angel said, everyone was very curious.
"A mysterious object with positive amplification, do you think the wise master is willing to give it up?" Angel said unhappily.
Unless Angell can really help the Wise Lord rebuild the glory of Naraku, he doesn't think the Wise Lord will trade him the Sweet Dream.
"So you are talking about this to do research?" Dox asked.
Dox's guess was correct. Angell did intend to "research" the Sweet Dream. However, others thought that Angell studied the Sweet Dream in order to refine the mysterious object for himself, but that was not the case.
Angell just wanted to borrow the Sweet Dream to try. As a mysterious object related to dreams, could he pull the Sweet Dream into the wilderness of dreams?
Seeing Angell nod, Dox asked curiously: "What did the Wise Lord say?"
Angell: "Nothing much, everything will be discussed after I come out of the Clear Sky Poetry Room safely."
Angell said so, but in fact the Wise Lord agreed to Angell's request. Just borrowing it is nothing to the Wise Lord. However, the Wise Lord also made a request, which is to let Angell tell him in detail about the situation in the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
So, Angel was right. If he wanted to borrow the money to study Sweet Dreams, he had to come out of the Clear Sky Poetry Room before he could do it.
"Besides that, didn't you talk about anything else?" Dox: "If you don't want to talk publicly, you can talk to me privately. We'll be together in the future."
Angel: "There's nothing else to say. Oh, I remember that the Wise Lord invited me to cooperate with him."
Dox: "Cooperation? What does he think?"
Angel said unhappily: "How do I know what he thinks."
"Then did you agree?"
Angel wanted to scold Dox and stop asking endless questions, but this time the voice was obviously different from before, and it was deeper, like... the Black Earl said.
Angel turned his head and saw the Black Earl's nostrils facing him.
Well, it's not like, it was indeed the Black Earl who asked.
Since it was the Black Earl who asked, Angel naturally didn't dare to get angry, and said seriously: "No. I don't represent just one person, there is also the Fantasy Island and the Savage Cave behind me, so it's impossible for me to agree. And the Wise Lord just talked about it and didn't continue to mention it."
Angel said this and looked at the Black Earl: "Does the Black Earl care about this issue?"
Angel actually vaguely guessed why the Black Earl asked, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he could only ask tactfully.
Black Earl: "Because he also proposed the same cooperation to me."
"And I agreed."
