At this time, the underground maze.
Angel, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and looked back thoughtfully at the narrow passage in the darkness.
"Why, are you still thinking about that gasping sound just now?" Doakes came closer to Angel and said with a mysterious face: "Tell me secretly, in fact, you were right before, that gasping sound was made by a monster. .”
Angel looked at Doakes doubtfully.
Doakes raised his head and said proudly: "Inspiration, inspiration, this time it's real inspiration. Why, you still don't believe it?"
Angel shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe it, I just can't figure out why your inspiration always comes to such meaningless things."
Doakes' eyes widened: "What does it mean to be meaningless? This is very meaningful. Doesn't this help you clear up your doubts?"
After finishing speaking, Doakes couldn't help but complain: "I saw your serious expression, so I helped you figure it out. Otherwise, why should I say more. I rarely tell others about my inspirations."
Indeed, Doakes rarely told others about his inspirations. However, here, Doakes did not know that he had actually revealed a lot of inspiration unintentionally.
If he knew, given his character, he would probably feel that he had suffered a big loss, and he would not be able to get out of the dark clouds without feeling depressed for a few days.
"I didn't think about the gasp just now. To me, it doesn't make any difference whether it was a human or a monster." Angel looked through Doakes' shoulder and looked into the depths behind him: "I just found out , the illusion I left on Ma Qiusha was triggered. Also, the guidance outside the magic energy array was also activated."
Doakes was stunned: "You mean, the people from the Travel Merchant Organization are really chasing after you?"
Angel: "What's surprising about this? It would be surprising if they didn't come. I just don't know when they will dare to come in after reading the instructions."
When Angel said this, he didn't know that a rebellious and extremely mischievous black businessman in the traveling merchant organization had already arrived at the building they had explored before...
Angel deliberately set up that guide, just to see if the Traveling Merchant Organization would check the magic energy array first and then catch up. If this is the case, then Angel will have a more favorable impression of the traveling merchant organization. After all, they can try it with human lives.
But things are fickle, and some things are not always what you think they will be. Variables are everywhere. Black businessmen are such a variable.
"Keep walking. I feel like there is a cold wind blowing in front of me. There may be an exit." Angel did not continue to worry about the Travel Merchant Organization. For them, the Travel Merchant Organization would only cause a little trouble. If you want to disrupt their actions, the Bilos family will have to mobilize in full force.
Angel and others were not afraid, but Kael and Vai were still a little worried. They couldn't help but approach the familiar wizards, so that even if they were unexpectedly attacked, they would have someone to help them.
What was a bit surprising was that Kael chose to stay close to Doakes, while Vai chose to stay close to... Angel.
Kael's choice was normal. He and Doakes were already familiar with each other. Vai, logically speaking, the best choice is his ancestor, the Black Earl, but he is probably afraid of being scolded, so he dare not approach; but the second choice is definitely Doakes, they have known each other for many years A good friend, even closer than the relationship between Kael and Doakes, but Vai did not choose Doakes, but came to Angel with a flattering and shy expression.
Angel didn't think about Kael and Vai's thoughts, but he was a little surprised why Vai suddenly came to him. But come on, Angel doesn’t hate Vai, or in other words, Angel generally doesn’t hate otaku-type extraordinary people. What bad intentions can people who love otaku have?
Angel smiled and nodded to Vai, and then continued to move forward.
When Vai saw this, he thought that Angel had agreed to follow him, so he followed him even more stridingly.
Doakes, who was behind, looked at the behavior of his friend Vai and felt vaguely strange in his heart. When did Vai and Angel get so good?
When everyone had their own thoughts and doubts, they finally came to an unusual road.
It is still a high-walled alleyway with no forks, but the overall direction of this alleyway is downward, a large slope.
The wind that Angel felt before was blowing up from below.
At this time, standing at the entrance of the slope, the cold wind became more obvious, and there was a rustling echo throughout the alleyway.
"Sir, this wind..." Angel originally wanted to discuss it with Earl Black, but when he turned around, he found that Earl Black had flown to the very back.
"There must be a road leading to the smelly ditch down there. The smell is too strong." The black earl's nose on the stone slab had now shrunk into a "convex" shape.
As a nose, although he can also use normal magic, his strongest sense of smell is definitely the nose's own sense of smell. The Black Earl's nose faced a critical attack, so it was no wonder he ran far away.
The so-called stinking ditch is just a name among wizards. It is actually the sludge accumulated in the sewer.
The underground labyrinth is said to be a labyrinth. It also has buildings and a city-like outline, but it also has a more familiar name, which is the underground waterway.
What could be in the sewer? No, it's just dirty.
Therefore, it is normal to occasionally encounter smelly ditches. However, after thousands of years, the smelly ditches no longer have much role in discharging sewage. They are basically the lairs of some foul-smelling monsters.
Wizards rarely go to the stinking ditch, because there are no treasures there and they still stink, which is completely unnecessary. Moreover, the monsters living in the stinking ditch cannot be underestimated. They are suddenly besieged by tens of thousands of monsters, and even if they are officially wizards, it will be uncomfortable.
"Don't tell me that our destination is in the stinking ditch." Although the Black Earl had no eyes, Angel felt like he was being stared at directly.
Angel recalled his journey in the Nightmare Realm. He did not see any drainage channels near the alley where the Devil-Eater Flower King was. Moreover, Angel remembered very clearly that not far from the alley, there was It was a hall decorated with a rather scholarly atmosphere, but what was somewhat contrary to the literary atmosphere was that there was a huge green-skinned monster living in that hall.
After Angel wanted to play with all the details, he shook his head at the Black Earl: "I can confirm that the destination is not a smelly ditch."
Doakes was actually paying attention to the Black Earl's question, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Angel's answer.
Doakes: "Okay, okay, I don't want to be smelly."
The Black Earl sneered: "Don't be too happy too early. What Angel said is that the destination is not in the stinking ditch. Whether we will go through the stinking ditch on the way is another matter."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, the slate turned and looked at Vai: "If you really go into the stinking ditch, I will enter your body. You have no right to refuse, otherwise stay away from Angel now. Don't think I can't guess. It’s out of your mind.”
Vai nodded obediently. Even if the Black Earl didn't say the next sentence, he wouldn't dare to refuse. Those words actually aroused Angel's doubts.
However, Angel just glanced at Vai without thinking about it. Again, what bad thoughts can an otaku have?
"Don't worry, adults. We probably won't go to Stinking Water Ditch. As long as we find the institution that the Demon God Cult wants to attack, the road ahead should be clear."
Angel's words revealed quite a lot of information.
Even the two apprentices were a little surprised; let alone Doakes and the Black Earl.
"It seems that you already know the institution that the Demon God's Cult is going to attack?" the Black Earl said in a determined tone.
"I guessed a few things. You don't need to be suspicious. I just made some deductions based on the existing information and some things I know." After Angel finished speaking, he still put on the same attitude of "Don't ask about my affairs." "Looks like.
Black Earl: "There is existing information. I don't know what existing information I can give you before. Mirror Demon, I can be sure that you don't know it at all. So what other existing information can be used for inference?" "
"Is it the mural found later, or... is it the information about our Noah family?"
Angel had to praise Earl Black's keenness. He deduced from Augustine that perhaps the official institution attacked by the Demon Cultists was the prison ladder.
However, he still didn't want to answer this question. Because he couldn't explain how he knew that Augustine was having an affair with the daughter of the Lord of the Ladder.
Angel: "My lord, it's better not to probe further. If you become suspicious every time I reveal some information, then I'd better shut up."
"You just need to believe me. I don't have any bad intentions. There are just some things that I can't say due to certain restrictions."
Angel opened his heart openly, as if you were free to use the power word to investigate.
But no one used the power of power, because Angel had already said something similar before the exploration, and there had been an oath at that time. This was the reason why Angel could be trusted and became the team leader. Moreover, even the key to the ruins was refined by Angel. If he really had second thoughts, why bother refining the key so hard? You can secretly refine it yourself, and then you don't have to go out yourself. Let Rhine arrange a few wizards to explore.
Considering Angel's importance in the Savage Cave, let alone asking a few people to explore the ruins, even if Rhine was asked to do it in person, Rhine would probably not refuse.
"I believe in Master Chao Dimension!"
When silence filled the air, Vai suddenly spoke.
"Master Chao Dimension must have his own difficulties. There is no way you have bad intentions."
Doakes stepped forward, twisted Vai's body, and pointed his head towards him: "Hey, hey, when were you brainwashed by Angel? As an old friend for many years, let me remind you, don't look at him He looks sanctimonious, but he is very dark inside. He tried to trick me before and let me get infected with the mushroom poison, so please don’t trust people wrongly."
Angel: "It turns out that I am such an untrustworthy person in your heart."
Doakes faced Angel with another face: "How is that possible? I believe you too. As a friend, I only believed what you said after I got to know you deeply, knew you were right and wrong, and understood you right from wrong. It's true. And Vai is just a follower, so I just gave you a few words of warning."
Angel: "Is Vai a follower? Why do I think he is a pioneer? After all, he said he trusted me first."
Doakes: "Trust does not need to be expressed, just know it in your heart. Expressed trust is not true trust."
Angel looked at Doakes's shameless expression and wanted to talk to him a few more words, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. No matter how much he talked about it, Doakes still had this character.
However, Vai's support surprised Angel a little.
Just as Doakes said, when did Vai trust him so much? It was obvious that they had only met for a few days, could it be...
Do you want something from me?
After all, he is also a master of alchemy and a member of the Research and Development Institute. Vai wants to ask him for alchemy or something, so he is probably so attentive.
I'm a nerd, I don't know any other way to express myself, I only know how to be courteous in this way.
Thinking of this, Angel felt helpless and pity for Vai. Being courteous would be of no use to him. Instead of being courteous, it would be better to just go for it and make a trade of equal value.
Even though Vai is just an apprentice, he also has abilities that Angel is very coveted. For example, the smell of death is very interesting. If Vai is willing to use the number of times he uses the smell of death in exchange, Angel doesn't mind giving it to Vai. Alchemy.
Thinking of this, Angel patted Vai on the shoulder and gave him a hint with his eyes.
However, Vai didn't understand Angel's meaning at all. As a new fanboy, Vai thought that... Angel gave him affirmation.
Vai's heart immediately surged.
Sure enough, only an unfallen star like Master Chao Dimension deserves his respect!
Two people whose thinking was completely wrong just finished looking at each other seriously for the first time.
At this time, Angel raised his head and looked at the Black Earl in the distance: "What do you think, sir?"
Black Earl: "Stop talking nonsense and keep walking."
Angel smiled. Although Earl Black did not say it directly, this statement actually meant that he had given in.
This is enough.
Angel waved his hand and a purifying force field covered everyone.
"Let's go. I believe there should be a fork in the road below. If there is still only the smelly ditch... I can only say that those demon god followers are really tolerant."
…
On the other side, the black businessman was strolling leisurely in this almost abandoned building.
The black businessman under the mask yawned: "It's so boring. I thought they had set up traps or other obstacles. But they didn't set anything up."
"Do you believe too much in your own strength? Or are you a group of kind little white rabbits?"
The black merchant squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"I still hope it's the former..." Although he also liked dealing with the fledgling little white rabbit, his short-tempered brother couldn't bear to see him bullying the weak.
What can he say to such a speechless brother? Of course - lucky you!
When Hei Shang thought of his brother, he felt inexplicably happy again. Presumably, Bai Shang was also thinking about him at this time. Because only when Bai Shang thinks of him, he will be inexplicably happy. This is the tacit understanding between twins.
Humming a little tune all the way, the black merchant reached the top floor.
He had no intention of checking the surrounding details. Let the gray merchants do these troublesome tasks.
He has only one goal!
Find the person who casts the illusion and beat him up!
However, the black merchant who walked out of the top door looked at the vast field of vision in front of him and scratched his head in confusion.
Where will that group of people go?
