Chapter 2992 Return to the Surface

"Going up from here, we will reach the surface of the underground waterway, which can lead directly to the ruins outside."

The speaker was the one-eyed Dabao, who opened a hole in the ceiling above his head. A dark shadow emerged from the hole and pointed inside the hole: "I have just explored the surface, and there is no one nearby. You can go directly through."

Dox's eyes widened: "You want us to go through your body?"

"Body?" Dabao was stunned for a moment, and shook his head quickly: "No, this is just a passage I opened up. Only by going out through this passage can we avoid touching the magic energy array underground."

"But, isn't this your body?" Dox clearly remembered that the holes opened by the one-eyed family on the wall were alive and belonged to the other party's flesh in the material world.

"No, it's not..." Dabao didn't know how to explain it at this time, because this passage did have the characteristics of its body, but its core had left the passage, so it shouldn't be considered a body. Shouldn't the body be a combination of the core and the physique?

Dox: "Sure enough, this is your body, you Dabao, I didn't expect you have a hobby of eating people."

Dox looked unreasonable.

This made Dabao speechless.

Angel saw this scene, sighed in his heart, and said unhappily: "Dox, if you don't want to leave, stay here. If you want to leave, you'd better shut up."

After speaking, Angel looked at Dabao: "Geng Gui, ignore him."

After a pause, Angel looked back at Kael and others: "Let's go first..."

Regardless of Dox's dumbfounded look, Angel flew into the cave first...

Angel is now on his way out of the underground waterway. After leaving the heart space, he returned to the Hall of the Wise as soon as possible.

At that time, facing the eyes of the crowd, who were either excited or puzzled, Angel said nothing, and directly stated that he had gained something in the process of alchemy and was ready to find a place to settle down and practice.

Although Angel's words were a bit abrupt, they were not surprised when they thought that Angel had just refined something that seemed to be a "mysterious object" not long ago.

Whether it was a mysterious object or a half-mysterious object, Angel must have gained some insights and gains after refining it. It is absolutely the most important thing to seize the time to settle down and use the knowledge gained thoroughly.

Therefore, even though everyone was curious about the props Angel refined, they did not ask, but signaled Angel to do as he pleased.

In their minds, Angel would probably still settle down and practice in the Qingkong Poetry Room, but what they did not expect was that Angel had never thought of staying in the underground waterway.

In fact, his so-called settling down was just a casual remark, and his real purpose was to find an excuse to leave the underground waterway.

It was not that he hated the underground waterway, or was afraid of the wise master.

It was purely because he would be in and out of the mirror area for a long time in the future, and he needed a place that was absolutely confidential. Although the Clear Sky Poetry Room is good, Angel cannot stay in the Clear Sky Poetry Room forever. After all, he did not come alone. Whether it is Dox, Kael, Wai, or the Black Earl, they all have their own things to do. He can't let them follow him all the time.

Of course, Angel can also let them go first, but after they leave, especially when the Black Earl returns to Noah with Adanis, the jurisdiction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room may also be taken away by the Wise Lord.

By then, the Wise Lord can monitor every part of the underground waterway at any time. Even if the Wise Lord has no ill intentions, Angel can't stand such "sedimentation".

So, he must leave the underground waterway as soon as possible.

As for where to go, it's not too late to talk about it later.

After Angel expressed his intention to leave, the Wise Lord did not stop him too much. There was a constraint between them by the Book of Truth, so the Wise Lord was not worried about the information here being exposed.

The only thing that made the Wise Lord a little regretful was that he wanted to exchange alchemy experience with Angel, but there was no way.

Angell's reason was too high-sounding, and the wise master had no way to stop him.

However, what comforted the wise master was that Angell gave a way to contact him.

Angell did not hide his relationship with Laplace. He said directly that because of his research on sweet dreams and subsequent alchemy, Laplace looked at him differently, had some in-depth exchanges, and established friendly contacts.

If the wise master had something to ask him, he could let Laplace pass on the message.

The wise master was not too surprised by this. After all, when Angell was alchemizing before, Laplace personally stopped Adanis, which showed the friendly relationship between Laplace and Angell.

Although he was not surprised, the wise master still had a complicated mood... Others did not know Laplace's identity, nor did they know Laplace's "uniqueness" in the Daylight Mirror Domain, but the wise master knew it very well. Originally, he thought that only he and Laplace had the closest relationship, but now Angell has appeared.

Although it is complicated, the wise master is also a rational person. He knew very well that letting Laplace and Angel befriend each other would be a good thing for Laplace and himself in a macro sense.

Moreover, the wise master was confident that Laplace would trust him more. After all, he was Laplace's savior, and Angel could not compare with him in this respect.

However, what the wise master did not know was that Laplace had confirmed him as a benefactor, but after so many years, he had already repaid a lot of favors. And it was basically impossible for him to bind Laplace with favors alone.

The relationship between Laplace and Angel is completely different from that of the wise master. Angel is the only friend recognized by Laplace. It was also the first friend Laplace made on his own initiative.

In terms of the stability and resilience of friendship, the Wise Lord cannot compare to Angel.

Because there was a way to contact Angel, the wise master did not try to retain Angel too much. After he confirmed that he wanted to leave the underground waterway, he arranged for Dabao to lead everyone away.

…

After getting out of the hole opened by Dabao, everyone came to an empty underground square.

On the walls of the underground square, there are many fluorite lamps emitting light green light. Under the light, the square is not dim.

You can tell from the style of the wall lamp that this is definitely not the style of thousands of years ago. Moreover, the quality of fluorite is also very low, and it will generally break down after decades. If the fluorite is still shining at this time, you know that there should be routine maintenance here.

This is obviously not the work of a wise master.

It is estimated that it was done by explorers of the garden maze ruins or a traveling trade organization.

No matter who it is, if they can see the obvious artificial traces, they will know that they have come out of the underground water where the magic energy array is scattered.

"Go straight along this road and you will reach the exit. However, there is someone guarding the exit. If you don't want to be discovered, you can break through the ground and leave." Dabao's Gengar head poked out of the hole and said to everyone.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Seeing that no one spoke, Dabao left first.

After Dabao left, Angel looked at the stone slab in mid-air, which was the Black Earl.

He could feel that the Black Earl's mental power was transmitting some kind of message to the void.

"Lord Black Earl is contacting the main body?" Angel asked.

Black Earl: "What do you think?"

Angel: "..."

Seeing Angel's silence, the Black Earl smiled and said: "How about you take out the mysterious thing you refined and have a look, and I will tell you whether I have contacted the main body."

Angel: "It's not a mystery."

Black Earl: "I know, but half a step of mystery is almost the same as mystery."

Angel: ...Can this be called almost the same? It’s a lot different! One step makes a world of difference, the difference between a half-step of mystery and a true mystery.

Angel: "It's okay to show it to your Excellency. But are you sure you want to see it here?"

Although the Fuxinjing is not a truly mysterious thing, the mysterious aura about it cannot be faked. Now that there is no underground magic energy array to help suppress it, once it is taken out, the aura will definitely overflow.

It might attract the prying eyes of outsiders.

The Black Earl thought for a while and said, "Where do you plan to settle down next?"

Angel: "The real sedimentation must be done after returning to the Savage Cave. But now that I have the inspiration, I plan to find a secluded place nearby to settle down first."

Angel thought for a moment and said, "Just the Bilon Tree Garden...or the Sandworm Market."

The Biron Tree Garden is located near the ruins of the Garden Maze, and is the nearest wizard's market. Although it’s not too big, it’s no problem to find a secluded place.

The Sandworm Market is in the Principality of Laxum. The reason why Angel mentioned this is because they all came from the Sandworm Market. Kael will definitely go back to the Sandworm Market, where his research den is; although Doakes decided to follow Ange Yes, but there is also a bar he owns in the Sandworm Market, so I still have to check it out. Moreover, Angel also gave Doakes a choice. Doakes could follow him back to the Savage Cave, or he could stay in the Sandworm Market.

Anyway, no matter what Doakes chooses, he has to go to the Sandworm Market.

"It's better to transform inspiration in time. Running around can easily cause inspiration to dissipate." At this time, Duo'er stuck on the side and said: "My suggestion is to go to Bilen Tree Garden first."

Angel shrugged indifferently: "Anything is fine."

Black Earl: "Since you are going to Biron Tree Garden, then wait until you find a place to settle down, and then let me see the mysterious thing you refined?"

Angel: "Won't Lord Black Earl rush back to the Noah family?"

Black Earl: "Don't worry, I still have something to do here."

Anyway, he has left the underground waterway. He can go back to the Noah family anytime he wants, and no one dares to challenge him anyway.

Angel: "So, didn't Lord Black Earl contact the main body again just now?"

If it were the contact body, the Black Earl's clone would definitely not be able to show such ease.

The Black Earl smiled and said: "I haven't contacted you yet. I plan to confirm the addresses of other Noah clan members before contacting the main body."

The so-called "other Noahs" here are the Hollow Noahs who were thrown into the Sea of ​​Empty Mirrors by Adanis to have their memories erased.

These hollow people were saved by the Wise Lord, and some of them are still alive today. The Black Earl plans to continue to contact the wise master in the near future. He will first delineate the locations of all these hollow people before contacting the main body.

And Angel chose to stay in Bilen Tree Garden, which also allowed the Black Earl to contact him nearby. He has not forgotten the promise he made to Angel... After leaving, he will communicate with Angel about the clone.

Angel: "No contact with the body? Then you were just..."

Black Earl: "I was contacting Adanis just now."

When the Black Earl said this, he paused and looked at Angel with doubtful eyes: "Speaking of which, do you know what happened to Adanis?"

Angel: "Huh?"

Black Earl: "After Adanis came back from the Clear Sky Poetry Room, she entered the mirror box. I can feel that she has not left, but no matter how I contact her, she doesn't reply."

"By the way, she came specifically to find you, but she disappeared when she came back. Could it be that you did something to her?"

Angel: "..."

Black Earl: "I mean, did you do something to her with a mysterious object?"

Angel: "I didn't do anything."

However, Angel knew why Adanis didn't reply. Probably, she was embarrassed to see him, so she silently pretended to be dead.

Angel couldn't explain this, so he could only shrug: "Perhaps Adanis has her own things to do. After all, she spends most of her time in the world inside the mirror, and the turmoil in the world outside the mirror is probably not that big. Too concerned.”

"Is that so?" The Black Earl muttered in a low voice. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refute it and could only put it aside for the time being.

Now that they had decided to meditate in the Biron Tree Garden for the time being, everyone left the underground square without any delay.

However, they did not follow the direction of the underground passage. Instead, they asked Vai to create an 'earth elevator' that broke through the earth and rocks and reached the ground.

After arriving on the ground, Vai used another earth wave to sense the surrounding situation.

"Hey, it's a bit strange... It's obviously noon, why is there no one within a kilometer around?" Through the feedback of the earth's fluctuations, Vai clearly sensed that there was no one within a kilometer.

Normally, there would be a large number of mortals hunting for treasures around the ruins of the Garden Maze.

Now, it was daytime, but there was no one there. This seems a bit strange to Vai.

"No need to be surprised. The Traveling Merchant Organization has determined a new underground passage. Coupled with the various encounters the Gray Merchant and his group had underground, the Traveling Merchant Organization must have countermeasures. The people nearby must have been evacuated. There is no one It's normal." Doakes put a hand on Vai's shoulder: "This is the most basic common sense. You, please don't stay in your fortune telling shop every day, and go out more often, otherwise it will happen. Become stupid."

Vai put aside Doakes' hand and said angrily: "You seem to know it very well, so tell me, where are the people from the traveling merchant organization now?"

Doakes stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, and said in deep thought: "I don't know where they are now. But I know that it won't be long before someone comes looking for us... maybe they are already on the way."

Vai's eyes widened: "Really?"

Doakes shrugged: "Intuition."

When others say 'intuition', Vai may hesitate, but when Doakes says 'intuition', it is basically the same as the truth.

At this time, the Black Earl floating in mid-air said calmly: "Doakes is right, they are already here. Moreover, there are more than one person here."

The Black Earl said so firmly, obviously not relying on intuition, but really feeling it.

Angel: "Is the gray merchant inside?"

Black Earl: "Yes."

Angel muttered in a low voice: "That's good."

After speaking, Angel turned to look at Doakes: "I still have something to do. You stay here and help me deliver this thing to the gray merchant."

Angel took out a cut crystal from the bracelet and handed it to Doakes. There was a black figure on the cross section of the crystal, which was the important memory that the gray merchant had lost.

Doakes looked at Angel in confusion: "You, are you planning to leave me?"

Angel: "I need to settle down immediately. I'll leave this to you."

Angel had already felt that Laplace's message appeared on the Fubo Heart Mirror, so he planned to withdraw first.

Doakes: "Why me?"

Angel patted him on the shoulder: "There is no reason. Don't you want me to help you refine the red sword? Maybe I will gain some insights this time."

Doakes originally had a dissatisfied look on his face, but when he heard Angel's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, no problem, leave it to me!"

Doakes pinched the crystal, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away.

Angel chuckled: "I'll wait for you at the Bilen Tree Garden."

After speaking, Angel directly summoned the Illusion Gate and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Angel suddenly turned to look at Doakes: "By the way, after meeting the gray merchant, you can give him a message for me..."
