Chapter 2853: Change and Breakaway
On the other side
Time goes back to half an hour ago.
The wise master has been observing the movements of Angel and others through the core node of the magic energy array.
However, he can only observe the general location of the people and the degree of energy reaction, but he does not know what happened specifically.
At the beginning, the wise master was worried that Adanis would deal with Angel personally, but when Orao appeared, this possibility was gone.
However, the wise master did not think that Adanis would stop there, and she must have other means.
The wise master observed the magic energy array to ensure that these means of Adanis would not exceed the limit of Angel and others. If there is really an unstoppable means, the wise master will take over the magic energy array and create a retreat for Angel and others.
This is the promise of the wise master to Angel and others, and it is also the way out that the wise master left for himself.
Savage Cave and Noah Family, one is the top organization in the wizard organization, and the other is one of the strongest wizard families in the southern region. Perhaps from them, there can be a glimmer of hope to save Naraku City?
Although the wise master does not want to rely on outsiders, what if the goddess is right and Naraku really does not come back?
The wise master did not want to think about it before, but he still had hope. But his time is running out... Reality must be faced, just like he hoped that Angel would become a variable and break the chaos of the underground waterway of the Qingkong Poetry Room, because he began to prepare for the worst and face the result that he was most reluctant to think about.
So, this time, whether Angel's move can disrupt the Qingkong Poetry Room and become a variable; or if it cannot change any status quo and finally forces him to rescue people, there is no loss for him.
These are his preparations, his preparations for the future.
The wise master lowered his eyebrows, stopped thinking about these trivial and annoying things, and put his eyes back on the magic energy array.
Suddenly, the wise master's eyes condensed.
From the energy display of the magic energy array, an abnormal fluctuation appeared in the slow corridor. At this time, Angel and others had not yet arrived at the slow corridor.
This abnormal fluctuation was undoubtedly a trap set by Adanis.
"Sure enough, she still didn't give up." The wise master twisted the hair hanging down by his ears with his fingers, muttering something, and thinking in his heart about the source of this abnormal fluctuation.
It was a very strange energy fluctuation. There was no familiar feeling, nor the sense of nothingness of the creatures in the mirror domain. This was more like a living monster.
But when did monsters of this strength appear in the underground waterway?
In the perception of the wise master, this abnormal energy fluctuation was still in the dormant stage, but it could already affect the surrounding magic energy array, which was enough to show that if there were creatures in it, they must have exceeded the wizard level.
And the formal wizard level was only the starting point of the unknown creature. The wise master could not judge how strong it was at present. It would be determined only after it really met Angel and others and fought.
However, judging from the current situation alone, Angel and others may face a tough battle next.
Even, Angell and others will lose in this encounter.
If Angell and others really lose, then he should take action.
The wise master thought so in his heart, but he didn't need to do anything at this time. He just watched Angell and others silently, and moved closer to the slow corridor.
The speed of Angell and others' movement became slow, and they paused for a long time, which meant that they also found the abnormality.
"What will you do?" The wise master murmured to himself.
In the mind of the wise master, Angell did not have too many choices, only two possibilities: outsmart or hit directly.
And outsmarting is actually difficult to work at this time.
When two people meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win. Therefore, the wise master guessed that Angell would choose to hit directly. However, in the process of taking directly, who would he let face this abnormal fluctuation?
Two apprentices are definitely impossible, and a wizard needs to be left to take care of the apprentices. It is better to hold the spellcasting materials of the plane channel and be ready to retreat at any time.
Then the answer is basically out. The candidate for taking directly is most likely the Black Earl or himself? Or the two of them together?
Soon, Angel and the others made a choice. The inference of the wise master was not wrong. Angel and the Black Earl went forward to deal with it together, leaving Dox as a backup.
Sensing that the two were getting closer and closer to the abnormal fluctuation, the wise master began to be alert at this time.
If Angel and others really encountered a crisis, it would also be a test for the wise master. He had to choose the right time to act. It was not appropriate to act too fast or too slow.
Therefore, observing the abnormal value of energy fluctuations, analyzing it, and speculating the current battle situation are what the wise master needs to do now.
But what the wise master did not expect was that the result of his high vigilance...did not work.
Not only did the value of the abnormal fluctuations not increase, but even when Angel and others overlapped with the position of the abnormal fluctuations, the value of the abnormal fluctuations became weaker? !
This means that they did not fight, but instead became... a narrow road meeting, passing by?
Because the abnormal fluctuations actively converged the outward energy, and the remaining part gathered at the edge, allowing Angel and the Black Earl to pass by. Moreover, Dox and two apprentices also followed.
The battle that the wise master thought was going to happen never happened from beginning to end.
When Angell and his party entered the Clear Sky Poetry Room, the abnormal fluctuation disappeared when the Wise Lord could not sense their location.
The Wise Lord was still confused at this time.
What exactly is this abnormal fluctuation? Why is there no battle? Is this really a trap set by Adanis?
Or did he make a wrong judgment from the beginning? This abnormal fluctuation is actually just a bluff?
The Lord, who has always been known for his wisdom, is scratching his head at this time, with a confused expression.
"How about asking Erbao?"
The Wise Lord really couldn't figure out what happened in the slow corridor. In addition, now that Angell and others have entered the Clear Sky Poetry Room, and the Clear Sky Poetry Room is independent of the magic energy array, if Angell and others don't come out by themselves, he doesn't know what happened inside, that is to say, he has nothing to do now, waiting for Angell and others to appear again is the time for him to show his remaining heat.
Since there is a period of free time, the Wise Lord is not idle, and summoned the one-eyed Erbao, wanting to use it to analyze what the "abnormal fluctuation" is.
But as Erbao narrated, the wise master not only did not understand, but became more confused.
Erbao did say some useful information: there was a passage in the nearby mirror domain, and it was opened by Adanis herself.
This means that the abnormal fluctuation was indeed a trap set by Adanis. Moreover, it is very likely that it was a monster summoned from the mirror domain? Although the wise master did not sense the familiar breath of the mirror domain monster, maybe there is a situation monster that can hide its breath? Whether it is a mirror domain monster or not, it is not important. What is important is why the monster summoned by Adanis did not attack Angel and others?
He thought that his previous judgment was wrong, there was no monster, only a bluff. But in fact, his judgment was correct, but because it was correct, he didn't understand why there was no fight when they met on a narrow road?
As time passed, the wise master's thoughts became more and more confused.
After an unknown amount of time, the Wise Lord suddenly frowned, raised his head and looked at Erbao in front of him: "You leave first."
The one-eyed Erbao seemed to have sensed something, and disappeared without saying anything.
After Erbao left, the Wise Lord stood up from his cross-legged sitting position and walked out of the secret room where the core node of the magic array was located.
As the Wise Lord left the secret room, his expression changed from his previous doubts and caution to a relaxed and leisurely posture. As he walked out, he stretched his waist, yawned repeatedly, and his eyes were a little wet, as if he had just woken up.
When the Wise Lord rubbed his misty eyes and came to the hall, his eyes immediately looked at the mirror on the distant fireplace.
The painting in the mirror had been covered, and the person who appeared in the mirror was a cold and beautiful woman with half of her face covered by blonde hair.
"Your Highness, how come you have time to come to me?"
The visitor was Adanis.
The Wise Lord yawned and walked towards the fireplace.
When he came to the fireplace, feeling the warm firelight, the wise master rubbed his hands subconsciously, as if to relieve the sleepiness when his sleep was interrupted.
"Shouldn't the goddess be receiving the guests who have not been to the Qingkong Poetry Room for many years? Or have they been received and thrown into the Sea of Empty Mirror?" The wise master sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace and muttered: "If they were really thrown into the Sea of Empty Mirror, what are you looking for me for? You are looking for Younu."
"Humph, do you really want to ask whether I threw them into the Sea of Empty Mirror? Or do you want to use this to find out their current situation?" Adanis said coldly.
The wise master did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Goddess is really smart, and she guessed my intention at once."
The wise master shrugged: "After all, he is the first outsider to enter the Qingkong Poetry Room in so many years, so it is understandable that I care about him."
Adanis: "What do you think the result will be?"
The wise master lowered his eyebrows, and there was a slight light in his eyes: "If Your Highness the Goddess doesn't tell me, how can I know what the result will be?"
That's what he said, but the wise master's heart is like a mirror. With his wisdom, it doesn't take too long to analyze a person's character, not to mention that he and Adanis have been in the underground waterway for ten thousand years. He knows Adanis too well. Adanis's question can actually make the wise master analyze...Angel and others must be fine now.
At least, Adanis hasn't thrown them into the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
After reaching this conclusion, the wise master was actually quite surprised, but he was not surprised that Angel and others were fine, but another thing.
He had actually guessed that "Angel and the others would be fine" after they entered the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
The reason was simple. With Angel's cautious attitude of opening the plane passage at the slightest disagreement, it was too difficult to keep him.
When walking slowly in the corridor, there were still shackles of the magic array, and it was not so easy to open the plane passage. However, the Clear Sky Poetry Room was different. In order to connect with the Mirror Realm, Adanis could not prohibit the power of space in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, which also meant that Angel could open the plane passage at any time without being restricted.
In this case, Angel's safety was definitely guaranteed.
Therefore, the wise master was not surprised at the current safety of Angel and the others.
What surprised him was that from Adanis's tone, a message was revealed: Angel and the others were still in the Clear Sky Poetry Room!
The wise master would not be surprised if Angel became safe through the passage of planes. But Angel is already in a safe state before using planes to block the way, which is very interesting.
Does this mean one thing: the variable has become!
If the variables really become true, does that mean that Qingkong Poetry Room will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future?
The wise master forcibly restrained his horse, which was getting more and more unruly, and still showed a confused look. He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the goddess, are you willing to help me clear up my doubts?"
Adanis snorted coldly: "Why should I answer questions for a betrayer?"
The wise master said: "Betrayer, I am afraid that Your Majesty the Goddess has misunderstood. I have never been a betrayer. I just changed from conservatism to changeism."
Adanis: "What have you become, and what do you want to change?"
The wise master laughs but does not answer.
Adanis was not annoyed and continued: "Why do you suddenly want to change?"
The wise master did not remain silent this time, but said with a smile: "Time is running out... My wish has not changed, but if possible, I also want to live longer."
Listening to the familiar words, Adanis thought of Orao inexplicably. His change was also because... time was running out.
Adanis said softly: "You can leave at any time. It's better to go to a wider world to see if there is any hope in a dead city."
"Yes, as long as you leave here, won't you be able to solve many problems?" The wise man ruled: "So, why doesn't Your Majesty the Goddess leave?"
Adanis was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I have my own reasons and it has nothing to do with you."
The wise master smiled: "Because of Orao?"
Adanis rolled her eyes coldly and threw the knife at the wise master.
The wise ruler smiled and said nothing.
“Don’t think that calling yourself a wise man means you really think of yourself as a wise man.”
Wise Man Ruler: "In the past, Naraku gave me this position, and I had no reason to resist. But now, I just regard 'Wise Man' as my name, a name without any meaning, just a code name. Just like the 'Goddess' crown" Just like you."
Listening to the Wise Lord specifically emphasizing the word 'goddess', Adanis's face changed slightly. How could she not know what the Wise Lord meant.
This is to say that we are not all the same. We are trapped in a cocoon and cannot break free.
Adanis clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves, but soon, as if she thought of something, she unclenched her fists again.
Her expression returned to calmness: "Goddess, you can call me this name whether you want to or not. This is all in the past tense."
Now that we are leaving here and leaving behind the past, so what?
The wise ruler was stunned for a moment: "What does it mean to be crowned the goddess?"
Adanis: "It's not interesting. Back to the topic, I came here to borrow something from you."
The wise master was still thinking about what Adanis had said before. When Adanis suddenly turned to the so-called 'main topic', he just subconsciously replied: "What is it?"
"Sweet dreams."
