As soon as the Black Earl finished speaking, everyone's eyes, which had originally moved away from Angel, focused on him again.
The Ancient One's men can all pretend to be the Demon God, which means that the Ancient One's men are at least as powerful as the Demon God. And Angel not only met an ancient man's subordinate, but also got information about the ancient man from him!
This is simply like hearing a fantasy like "a giant chatted with an ant at his feet, and finally the giant left without trampling the ant to death."
This is possible only in fairy tales.
And now, the fairy tale has really come into reality.
The atmosphere of silence continued to spread as everyone looked at Angel.
Angel allowed everyone to look at him this time and said nothing. And if Angel didn't take the initiative to speak, no one else could press him. Even the Black Earl was embarrassed to ask. After all, this involved Angel's privacy and had nothing to do with today's topic.
After the stiff atmosphere lasted for about half a minute, someone finally broke the silence.
"Then why did the Ancient One's men play the devil? Is it because of the 'sacred object' stolen by the 'thief'?" The person who asked the question was Kael.
"To develop a group of believers for a foreign object, and to build a church secretly under the extraordinary city?" Doakes shook his head: "The most important thing is that there are thieves who can go to the abyss to steal the hands of a demon-level being. A sacred object? The more I hear this, the more impossible it becomes."
"Then...why did he do this?" Kael asked doubtfully.
Doakes: "Whether the other party is played by the Ancient One's subordinates is still a question."
Doakes's casual words made both Angel and the Black Earl take notice.
They had previously assumed that the Demon God came from the abyss and might be a subordinate of the Ancient One, all based on the fact that the other party was really the "Demon God".
But what if the other party is not the "Devil"?
Outer gods and wild gods generally don't dare to touch the abyss, and they can't blame it on the abyss, because their powers are different in nature. As for gods like the Evil God, they don’t even care about their own kind. Why do they still care about external things?
So now the most likely possibilities are two: First, the 'Mirror Demon God' comes from the abyss and incarnates as a demon god for a certain purpose.
This may require a premise, that is, the Demon God of the Mirror must at least have power comparable to that of the Demon God, because Demon Gods of all sizes have developed followers in the wizarding world. Even if these believers have their own beliefs, the cooperation between the major Demon Gods makes them It has become a gray social circle. The believers of the Mirror Demon God meet other Demon God believers. If they are not to be discovered, the Mirror Demon God behind them must have Demon God-level power, or let other Demon Gods None of them dared to reveal their powerful background... such as the Ancient One, or the Ancient One's subordinates.
At the same time, the Demon God of the Mirror also needs to have some of the methods of the Demon God, such as communicating with believers through air, miracles given by his true name, etc... After all, extraordinary people are not fools. The famous devil was deceived
Second, the opponent is not from the abyss, but someone from the wizarding world, playing the role of the devil.
Because the only person who knows the wizard best is the wizard himself.
As long as this big boss in the wizarding world has enough energy, it is very simple to prevent believers from contacting other circles of demon believers. As for spiritual communication and various miracles and deceptions, they can also be explained... The person who studies the devil most thoroughly is the wizard. Doesn't the wizard borrow a little power from the devil? The original prototypes of magic patterns and inscriptions do not all come from the abyss. Therefore, it is really not difficult for the big guys in the wizarding world to develop similar abilities.
Both of these situations are actually possible. And no matter what the possibility, flaws can be picked out.
For example, the second possibility is that if it was really done by a big shot in the wizarding world, why would he pretend to be a demon and let the believers do it? He can cover the sky with one hand, secretly built an underground church under the extraordinary city, and engages in such sneaky behavior, which is really unfathomable. As for putting the blame on the devil... a devil whose name no one has ever heard of, why would he put the blame on him?
Moreover, if he wanted something "holy", wouldn't he steal it himself?
Anyway, now both positive and negative guesses are possible. There might even be a third possibility that they haven't thought of yet.
Angel had a headache thinking about it, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's not worry about the identity of the Mirror Demon God for now. Maybe our destination this time has nothing to do with the Mirror Demon God."
As soon as Angel finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded: "Don't worry so early. The more you think something in this world is impossible, the more likely it is to happen."
It was Doakes who spoke, of course.
Angel looked at Doakes speechlessly and helplessly. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "If you hadn't said this, I think it might not have happened."
Doakes: "Are you calling me a crow-mouthed person?"
Angel: "As long as you understand."
After Angel finished speaking, he stood up and turned to look at everyone: "Let's go and look elsewhere. If there are any traces of the Mirror Demon God and his followers... don't let them go."
After Angel finished speaking, he glanced at Doakes, hoping that this guy's words were not inspiration and would not come true.
When it comes to the "Mirror Demon God", whether the other party is a real Demon God or a fake Demon God, it is a big trouble.
After Angel went out, Doakes immediately caught up with him and told Angel something like "Things that are destined to happen will not change just because I say it. This is not a crow's mouth, this is breaking the mystery" and so on. Wait for something like that.
After finishing speaking, Doakes was quite proud and joked in Angel's ear: "You just called me a crow's mouth. Are you scared by my inspiration?"
Angel stopped and turned to look at Doakes.
Doakes patted Angel on the shoulder, then thumped his chest, making a gesture as good as the two brothers: "Don't worry, I didn't have inspiration just now. I just said some theories that I think, that is What I just told you."
When you say that, it makes people even more worried. Angel sighed silently in his heart. He really wanted to reveal the truth that Doakes' inspiration was always working, but if he revealed Doakes's inspiration, he might not be able to seize the opportunity.
The words that came to his mouth were finally swallowed, and Angel called out lightly: "Dangros."
Dangros, who had a clear understanding of the situation, immediately jumped on Angel's shoulders and smoked the place where Doakes had just patted with hot fire.
"What are you..."
"It's nothing, it's just that there's dirt on my shoulders." After Angel finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Doakes looked at Angel's retreating figure, looked at his hands silently, and muttered: "Dirty stuff?"
…
After coming out of the transfer room, everyone came to the lobby on the "second floor".
Compared with the first floor, there are more obvious signs of looting here. There were even palm prints on the wall, but they were very shallow. It was probably used by latecomers to test the magic energy array inside the wall.
Everyone quickly completed the search and came up empty-handed as always.
They are also used to it. After all, after thousands of years have passed, it is basically impossible for anything good to stay.
Only Kael was a little downcast. The reason was that he found another star stone that was so huge that it could be used as a stage curtain.
Such a large star stone must have been filled with beautiful murals. If it still exists, it will be a very useful historical material.
But now, the star stone is completely blank and nothing can be seen.
Kael explores ruins and likes the process and digging out the hidden and interesting things in history. It's natural to feel frustrated when you see a mural that you can easily get, but you missed it because you were born at the wrong time.
"The quality of star stones also has advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you will encounter star stones that have not faded in a while." Doakes comforted.
The comfort of others is just that: comfort. Doakes' comfort, that's been enlightened!
In an instant, Kael regained his energy: "Then let's continue going up. As we get to the upper level, it's obviously a higher level. There might be colorful star stones on it!"
After Kael finished speaking, he walked excitedly to the stairs and looked at Angel expectantly.
Angel did not speak, but responded to him with actions. He strode forward, said "let's go", and stepped onto the stairs to the third floor.
As soon as they arrived on the third floor, they felt something different.
Because the place where they appeared was no longer in the corridor, but directly in a hall.
The hall is much larger than the halls on the two floors below. The reason is also very simple, because there is only this hall on this floor. Looking out from the window, what you see is the scenery of the lane outside, not the corridor.
There is also a spiral staircase going up on one side of this hall, and a cold and damp wind comes from the entrance of the spiral staircase.
Everyone immediately used their mental power to explore and found that there was only one door above the stairs, and behind the door was the exit. The wind is blowing in from outside.
"It is indeed an underground maze. The exits are so unique." Doakes clicked his tongue.
"It's a good thing to find the exit." Angel: "Before leaving, let's explore this hall first."
The hall had also been looted, but many cabinets remained, scattered in a mess. These cabinets were the first to be checked.
They don't want to find good things, they just need some information about the fragments of the altar on the second floor.
But they turned over and over and scanned it several times with their mental energy, but could not find any traces worth exploring.
Just when everyone was disappointed, Kael's voice suddenly came over: "This way, this way!"
Everyone looked around and saw Kael standing on the side of the hall, in front of a desk. The wall behind the desk is inlaid with a square blank star colored stone.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Angel stepped forward.
Kael knelt down and tilted his head to look at the edge of the frame below the star stone: "Sir, look at it, does it have some color?"
Angel followed Kael's direction and lowered his body to look at it with his naked eyes.
Not to mention, I actually found a little excessive gray and black color strip in the corner of the frame.
Angel stretched out his fingers and touched it. There was no powder falling, so it shouldn't be dust or blood in the cracks.
Angel pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be a color, but why is it at this edge?"
Kael barely hesitated and said directly: "Is there a painting hidden behind this?"
From the speed of Kael's answer and the excitement in his expression, it can be seen that he has had this idea for a long time and now he is in urgent need of recognition.
The conversation on Angel's side also attracted the attention of others, but Kael and Angel were already standing in front of the stone slab, and they could only use their mental power to watch.
From the perspective of mental power, we can indeed see excessive gray and black color bars. However, the backside of the Star Color Stone cannot be seen.
Although the Star Color Stone is not a great stone, it is still an extraordinary stone, and it is also embedded in the wall engraved with a magic energy array. It is normal for mental power not to be able to see through it.
"Is there a painting on the back?" Angel muttered in a low voice, "You'll know if you take it apart and take a look."
Although they say it should be dismantled, it is not that easy to dismantle this star stone. The magic energy array behind must be avoided, so it is also necessary to explore the situation of the magic energy array behind it.
Mental power cannot penetrate directly, so if you want to observe the magic energy array, you can only take a roundabout route.
Angel began to walk around the hall, looking for exposed magic patterns and feeling the routes that represented energy transmission in each magic pattern.
While Angel was cracking the magic energy array, others were chatting leisurely.
Really, I can’t help even if I want to. I can only put it aside and start a leisurely bet on whether there is really a painting behind the star colored stone, or whether it is actually nothing, and it is all in vain.
But the gambling didn't start in the end, because the initiator of the gambling was Doakes, and the only participants were Kael and Vai. The two gamblers all chose Youhua.
They are not stupid. Only Doakes, who was on the upper level, said with open words that they might encounter colored star stones.
Isn’t it coming now?
As for the Black Earl, he flew along the stairs and flew outside. However, he did not fly far. He was near the door, seeming to be sensing something.
After about five minutes, Angel returned to the Star Color Stone.
"The quality of this star stone cannot withstand most of the magic patterns in this magic energy array, so there shouldn't be many important magic patterns behind it. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the energy channel I sensed is broken here. Article, it should be that the magic pattern of the energy channel is drawn in the star colored stone."
After Angel finished speaking, Doakes immediately asked: "Then, is there a way to bypass these two energies..."
Before Doakes could finish speaking, Angel turned around and said: "No need to go around, I have already made the external array disk, and now I should be able to directly pry off the star colored stone."
After Angel finished speaking, he made a "please" gesture to Doakes.
Although it was easy to pry open the star stone, he just couldn't see Doakes watching leisurely and coldly. So, let Doakes do the physical work.
