Section 3002 Return of Memory

While Angel went to meet the Iron-Armored Granny, on the other side, on the ruins of the Garden Maze, Dox had already met with the visitors from the Merchants Organization.

The wizards from the Merchants Organization this time included not only the three merchants of black, white and gray, as well as the bloodline wizard ‘evil woman’, but also five other wizards. However, these five new wizards wore the same ice crack mask and the same black and white robe. It was difficult to confirm the identity of the visitors just by looking at their appearance.

However, although Dox could not confirm the identities of these people, he could guess with his toes that these wizards must be from the Bilos family.

After all, the supporter behind the Merchants Organization was the Bilos family.

Now that the Garden Maze has changed, especially the shocking news brought by the Gray Merchants, it has been confirmed that there were still people alive in the secret area of ​​Naraku City. Such explosive news will naturally attract the attention of the Bilos family.

Dox still remembered that the Bilos family had seven wizards in public, and now five of them came directly, and one of them was even a second-level wizard... Judging from his aura, he should have broken through not long ago, and it is estimated that he is the head of the Bilos family.

Even the strongest person in public has appeared. From this, it can be seen that the Bilos family has sent out talents for the garden maze this time.

So many wizards have come, and there are many wizards stronger than Dox. Dox originally wanted to be a "socialite", but he couldn't do it at this time.

But fortunately, Wai is still here. Wai is here, and the Black Earl is here.

Even without Dox's active request, the Black Earl flew out slowly and blocked the people of the Traveling Merchant Organization.

Seeing the nose floating in the air, the wizards of the Traveling Merchant Organization changed their faces instantly and stopped immediately.

They are not ignorant. As a big family that controls a wizard market, they are very familiar with the strong people in the South Region, and naturally understand that the nose in front of them is the avatar of the patriarch of the Noah family.

Even though the breath of this nose is not particularly strong, the other party can easily contact the main body, which means that the head of Noah family can come at any time.

Thinking of this, even if a large group of wizards came to the Traveling Merchant Organization, they did not dare to act rashly.

Everyone lowered their heads obediently, waiting for the Black Earl to speak.

The Black Earl only said one sentence, and laid the foundation for today's negotiations.

"If you don't want to die, it's best to forget what happened today."

The Black Earl did not intend to expel the Traveling Merchant Organization, nor did he show any intention of occupying the ruins of the Garden Maze. Because he knew very well that the existence of the Traveling Merchant Organization was meaningful, and even the Wise Lord was secretly helping them, which was clear.

Therefore, there was no benefit in expelling the Traveling Merchant Organization.

As for whether the Black Earl had ever thought about occupying the sewer? Of course he had thought about it. But just as the Wise Lord was afraid of the Black Earl, the Black Earl was also afraid of the Wise Lord.

Only the wise master who was tripped by the ruined Naraku City can make the Black Earl gain greater benefits; if the wise master and other strong men sleeping in Naraku City completely give up Naraku City, then the Black Earl needs to worry.

In addition, the Black Earl has seen his ancestors and reluctantly accepted Adanis, so this exploration is enough to pay for itself.

As for other benefits, we can talk to the wise master slowly in the future.

A friendly strong man is always better than a strong man who targets each other. What's more, the wise master also indirectly helped the Noah clan and rescued those hollow people. For this reason alone, the Black Earl must recognize it.

In short, in the eyes of the Black Earl, he will get involved in the underground sewers, but he will not occupy them by force. The traveling merchant organization has reasons and value to exist, but the premise is... they must know the current situation.

Today's events, especially the various things that the Gray Merchants experienced and the various people they met, must be buried in their hearts and no one can tell anyone.

And this is obviously not something that Dox can negotiate.

This is why the Black Earl must come forward. Similarly, when Angel left, the Black Earl did not follow because he knew that he would encounter the current situation.

The Black Earl's negotiation basis has been determined. Whether the Merchant Organization is willing or not, the Black Earl will not change it.

However, the Black Earl is not really blocking the Merchant Organization's way completely.

After all, what the Merchant Organization has done for so many years is actually protecting Naraku City in disguise. The wise master has recognized and even provided convenience, so the Black Earl will naturally not really let the Merchant Organization completely lose its benefits.

However, what kind of benefits the Merchant Organization can get depends on whether their self-positioning is wrong and whether they can see the bottom line of the Black Earl.

And this requires negotiation.

Negotiations are naturally not necessary for Dox. The Black Earl brought Wai to the inspection office of the traveling merchant organization alone and talked with the people of the Bilos family. The Black Merchant and the White Merchant also went.

However, the Gray Merchant, the Evil Woman and their men stayed in the garden maze.

The reason was very simple... The most precious memory of the Gray Merchant was still in Angel's hands.

They didn't know where Angel was, but since he didn't appear with the Black Earl and others, he must still be near the garden maze, so they could only stay and wait.

If the Gray Merchant stayed, Duokes would naturally not leave.

Under the attention of the Gray Merchant and others, Duokes came over. Before Duokes approached, the Evil Woman floating in the air blocked the Gray Merchant.

"Stop." The Evil Woman wrapped in white bandages squinted at Duokes.

Dox scratched his ears as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued forward with a look of complete indifference.

"Dox, do you want a war?" The evil woman's hair slowly flew, and the corners of her mouth gradually split until it split to below her ears. In her scarlet and terrifying mouth, one could see sharp white teeth.

At the same time, the white bandages on the evil woman's body began to multiply and spread infinitely, weaving a bandage spider web in front of Dox out of thin air.

If Dox took another step forward, he would be entangled by the spider web.

The power of the bandage spider web itself was not strong, but Dox knew that these bandages were attached with curses. Once touched, he would inevitably suffer strange attacks from various curses.

If it was the evil woman in the past, she would probably have attacked Dox, but now she was just blocking him, and it was known that she was also afraid.

She was not afraid of Dox, but of the Black Earl and the memory of the Gray Merchant in Angel's hand.

She was afraid that her actions would cause twists and turns in the process of the Gray Merchant obtaining his memory, so the evil woman was also restraining herself.

Dox stopped in front of the bandage spider web and sighed artificially: "War? Haha, I'm not afraid of starting a war with you now, guess why?"

Dox's expression of "I have a backer" was obvious to everyone.

And this backer, they naturally thought of the Black Earl.

The evil woman said coldly: "Don't think that you can show off your power with a backer. Do you think that Lord Black Earl will care about a dead person?"

Dox shrugged and said with a smile: "You guessed wrong."

The evil woman was stunned, and before she could react, a figure walked past her and stopped in front of the bandage spider web.

And this person was Gray Merchant.

Gray Merchant looked at the evil woman and said gently: "Don't be so tense, I believe the Red Sword Wizard has no ill intentions. Put it away, if these bandages are wrinkled, you will feel distressed again."

Gray Merchant changed a mask that showed his eyes, and the evil woman could clearly see his eyes, his eyes and tone were as gentle as his tone.

If it was the old Gray Merchant, if he really wanted the Evil Woman to remove the bandage web, he would have to use an imperative tone; the old Gray Merchant was cold and cruel, and the Evil Woman only saw such a calm and gentle side of him during the days when the Gray Merchant lost his memory.

The Evil Woman looked at the Gray Merchant with a complicated expression, nodded gently, and put away the bandage that exuded an ominous and cursed aura.

The Evil Woman returned to the crowd, and the Gray Merchant walked step by step to Dox.

"The Red Sword Wizard should have something to ask me, right?" The Gray Merchant asked with a smile.

Dox said lazily: "I just want to come over here to bask in the sun."

The Gray Merchant gestured "please" to the back without caring.

Dox was fearless and walked step by step to where the Evil Woman, Pink Jasper, Demon Elephant... and others were.

However, when he was more than ten meters away from the crowd, Dox turned around and came to the big tree next to him, leaning against the big tree, enjoying the sunlight shining through the mottled shadows of the tree.

The evil woman and others had no idea what Dox was doing, so they could only frown and guard against him.

The air was quiet at this time, and no one took the initiative to break the silence.

This silence lasted for five minutes before it was broken by a melodious shepherd's flute.

The person playing the shepherd's flute was a young man with light green curly hair and freckles on his face. He was also a member of the Gray Merchant, codenamed: Shepherd.

After the flute sounded, Dox couldn't help but say, "You play well."

Shepherd: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Red Sword."

Dox glanced at the shepherd and said lightly, "You play the shepherd's flute well, but it's a pity that I don't like the person who plays the shepherd's flute."

The person who plays the shepherd's flute? The shepherd raised his hand in confusion and pointed at himself. Is he talking about me?

Dox snorted lightly: "Because you are a heretic."

The shepherd was confused. What? Heretic? Did he do anything?

The shepherd did not reply, but Fan Mo said angrily: "Even if you are a formal wizard, you can't slander people casually."

Dox raised his eyebrows: "Did I slander? Think carefully, what are the names of the four black-faced sheep of this guy?"

The black-faced sheep Dox mentioned were the four black-faced sheep summoned by the shepherd when he was fighting with Kael. In addition to the four black-faced sheep, the shepherd also summoned a sheepdog.

Dox said coldly: "The four black-faced sheep are called Black One, Black Two, Black Three, and Baby. I ask you, why do you call it Baby, why not Black Four?"

Everyone was confused when listening to Dox's questioning, and slowly, they seemed to understand Dox a little.

This is really obsessive-compulsive disorder of order!

Everyone thought Dox was a bit unreasonable at first, but when they thought about it carefully, they were also very awkward when they learned the names of the shepherd's four black-faced sheep.

Moreover, the most awkward thing is not only the name, but also their order made them crazy at the beginning, because Hei Yi is the youngest, Hei Er is the third, Hei San is the second, and Bao Bao is the eldest.

This is completely inconsistent with normal people's logic.

Thinking about it this way, everyone seems to understand Dox's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The shepherd now understood why Dox said "I don't like myself". He smiled bitterly and wanted to explain.

But Dox said first: "Don't talk, as soon as you talk, I will think of your group of black-faced sheep. Now I feel uncomfortable just thinking about the names of your group of black-faced sheep."

Dox's childish behavior made the shepherd speechless. He sighed and put down his hand helplessly.

After Dox confronted the shepherd, he felt relieved and turned to look at the gray merchant.

The gray merchant never took his eyes off Dox, and seemed to be sure that Dox was looking for him. But Dox didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, just staring at him silently.

Dox: "You seem to be sure that I have something to do with you? Then why don't you guess what it is? There will be a prize for guessing it right~"

The gray merchant smiled gently: "My memory is in your hands?"

Although the gray merchant was asking, his tone was very decisive.

"The adult's memory is in your hands?" The evil woman looked over with a suspicious look.

Others also looked at Dox. After all, they stayed here for the memory of the gray merchant.

Dox, who was stared at by everyone, curled his lips: "It's so boring."

After speaking, Dox took out the crystal that Angel gave him. On the cross section of the crystal, a human figure was clearly reflected, and this figure was the memory of the Gray Merchant captured by Adanis.

"Here, your memory is here." Dox did not make it difficult for the Gray Merchant, and threw it directly to him.

The Gray Merchant's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the crystal.

The others also walked quickly to the side of the Gray Merchant.

After carefully sensing it, the Gray Merchant nodded gently to everyone: "It's my memory."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, after all, this is the most important memory of the Gray Merchant!

"You just need to crush it, and your memory will come back." Dox said lightly.

The Gray Merchant subconsciously wanted to crush the crystal, but thinking that after crushing the crystal, his memory would return and he might not treat Dox so "kindly", he put down the crystal first, and solemnly thanked Dox.

"The person you should really thank is not me."

Gray Merchant: "You mean... Ermi?"

Dox snorted: "Anyway, it's not me. You know who it is."

Gray Merchant and others looked at each other silently. In fact, they also vaguely guessed the identity of the wizard who called himself "Ermi".

Gray Merchant nodded: "I understand."

Dox: "Since you understand, that's enough. I have done what I should do. By the way, that person asked me to bring you a message."

"Give it to me?" Gray Merchant looked at Dox in confusion.

Dox nodded and said slowly: "Is the road you are on a ruthless road or a lost road?"

Hearing Dox's question, everyone's face changed.

Because this question has directly touched the core of Gray Merchant, that is, the road of true knowledge he is going to take!

Since it is the core, it is naturally impossible to tell it casually. Dox's asking this question is already a very rude behavior.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him unkindly, Dox continued: "You don't have to answer my question, I'm just copying what he said."

"He asked me to tell you that it seems ruthless, but it's actually just because of the loss along the way. Which one brings you closer to the truth?"

"If 'loss' is the core, then is it good or bad for you to regain this memory?"

Dox shrugged at this point: "That's all, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not, anyway, I have passed it on."

After speaking, Dox turned his head and looked at the shepherd: "He also asked me to bring you a message."

The shepherd pointed at himself in confusion: "Me?"

Dox nodded: "The shepherd's journey will not stop simply because of shepherding."

"I don't know why he said this to you, you can also pretend that you didn't hear it. Okay, that's all, I'm leaving too."

After speaking, Dox flashed and his figure disappeared immediately.

On the spot, only the gray merchant who was lost in thought and the shepherd with a dazed face were left.
