What do these silver objects become when they are combined?
While everyone was guessing, Doakes looked at Angel and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Now, do you still think this is a dagger?"
Doakes' words made everyone stunned.
Yes, Angel had said before that his mentor once lost a dagger while exploring the underground labyrinth. And on that dagger, there was the hanging emblem of that special witch-eyed ghost.
Therefore, Angel was very sure at that time that the silver pendant on Wumugui must have originated from the dagger left by Sanders.
Precisely because it belonged to Sanders, Angel wasted everyone's time trying to find a way to obtain this pendant.
But now that I put it together... there is no trace of a dagger at all.
If it were the handle of a dagger, that would be impossible. It would be too big and cumbersome. Even if you take it apart and look at it, you can't imagine what the dagger looks like.
But then again, it is difficult to fake the family emblem on the silver pendant. It is almost 100% certain that it belongs to Sanders, or in other words, to a member of the Igulo family.
Judging from the integrity of the current object, the silver ring should be integrated with the silver pendant, so there is a high probability that it belongs to the Igulo family.
But according to Xisiya's description, the only thing on the wood spirit that it cherishes most is the silver ring.
Then this is interesting.
It belongs to the Iguluo family and the wood spirit. There must be something fishy here.
Angel: "I admit that I guessed wrong before. This does not look like a dagger. As for what it is, I have a guess in my mind."
Doakes: "What guess?"
Angel stretched out his hand and gently touched the strange thing on his magic hand.
Like the closest lover, it slowly slid down, down, until it reached the bottom ring. Angel's hand still didn't stop and continued to move downward.
And as Angel moved his hand downward, a shining black staff appeared out of thin air below the ring.
The short staff connects perfectly with the ring.
At this point, how could everyone not understand what Angel wanted to express.
This strange-looking silver object is actually the head of a short staff.
"It's definitely wrong to say it's a dagger. But it's quite possible to say it's a short staff." Doakes said while looking at the complete short staff simulated by Angel using illusion magic.
I have to say that after adding the rod below, the originally strange things suddenly became harmonious. It's the head of a staff, very, very big.
Black Earl: "You're not just guessing without reason, are you?"
Angel smiled: "Lord Black Earl still sees things clearly. The reason why I guessed this is because I asked about the form of the wood spirit in Xixia before."
Black Earl: "I also asked Sisia this question, and the answer she gave was that the wood spirit's talent allows it to change its form at will to better avoid danger. Therefore, she doesn't know the specific form of the wood spirit. of."
Hearing the words of the Black Earl, Angel was slightly surprised. Originally, he thought that the Black Earl would only ask about the ancestors of Noah, but unexpectedly, he also asked about the situation of the wood spirit. It seems that the Black Earl is also very concerned about this exploration of the ruins... Or maybe he has realized that the destination must be related to the ancestors of Noah, so he is so active?
"Xixia gave me the same answer as the adults. However, I asked Xicia in detail what forms the wood spirit had changed on the platform, and what was the most common and inconspicuous form among them."
As soon as Mu Lingfu was born, he was in a work area where there were swarms of Wu Mu ghosts. If Mu Ling had changed his form at that time, he might have been discovered by those Wu Mu ghosts wandering around.
Therefore, the original form of the wood spirit must be ordinary and inconspicuous. Moreover, even if it is thrown casually on the ground, it will not attract much attention.
Later, no matter how hidden the wood spirit was, it must have been transformed based on its original form.
Based on this idea, Angel finally got an answer from Sicia: "The most common and inconspicuous form it takes is that of a black stick. That is when it lingers on the platform and pretends to be there. Changes at death.”
First of all, it is difficult to find that the black stick is made of wood. Moreover, because the dark atmosphere often rises underground, many surfaces in the work area have been soaked in darkness and filth, turning it extremely dark. Some buildings have also been stained. black.
Therefore, the black wooden stick is not conspicuous even if it is hidden in it.
In addition, Sisia made it clear that the wood spirit was a stick that transformed when it lay on the platform pretending to be dead. At that time, the wood spirit should have realized that Xisiya would not harm it and that the platform was safe.
Therefore, when he was most relaxed, the wood spirit returned to its original form. This logic makes sense.
Therefore, Angel will regard the shape of the wooden stick as the original appearance of the wood spirit.
With the appearance of the wood spirit, this series of silver ornaments were put on it to form the current short staff.
The black staff body is inconspicuous when viewed alone, but when paired with the gorgeous and exquisite crown and authority, it becomes more pleasing to the eye and much more conspicuous.
Of course, this does not mean that Angel is more thoughtful than the Black Earl. It can only mean one thing. Compared to the Black Earl, Angel has a closer relationship with Sicia and can get more information from her. Even though the Black Earl is a descendant of Noah, he is not Noah himself after all. Sicia can barely talk to him for a few words, which is already good. It is impossible to describe all the features of the wood spirit word for word.
"According to your statement, the wood spirit was born from a staff?" Doakes asked.
Angel nodded: "As long as there are no accidents, it is very possible. Because if the canes used by ordinary nobles have no special function and are just to show their personal status, most of the canes will be made of wood, because the wood is lighter and easier to hold in the hand. It won’t be that strenuous.”
"So, it is possible for a wood spirit to be born from a wooden staff."
Kael: "I have often heard that the birth of a spirit is not easy. According to legend, it is the will of the world and the wisdom left in the world inadvertently. If it is really so difficult to be born, and an ordinary wooden stick gives birth to a wood spirit, I still feel a little weird."
As soon as Kael finished speaking, the voice of the Black Earl rang out: "The birth of a spirit is not easy, this is a fact. However, if an item is in a consistent energy environment all year round, or if this item has a very strong entrustment The meaning is that the probability of the spirit being born will be relatively higher."
"As for the wooden staff, it actually meets the first condition. Although this place is deserted, it is protected by a magic energy array. The energy environment is much better than the outside world. In addition, dark turbidity is constantly emerging from the ground. These are always dense. Around the wooden stick, the possibility of stimulating the birth of spiritual intelligence has been improved again. It's just..."
Vai: "Just what?"
Black Earl: "If you just think according to this logic, there is one thing I can't figure out. Often surrounded by dark and dirty energy, the spirits born should have many bad habits, but that wood spirit seems to be a little timid, Don’t you have any other evil thoughts?”
Because if it really had evil intentions, the wood spirit would not be so simple, nor would it pretend to be dead for decades, nor would it reject the offer of an olive branch when the wise master offered it, and just wanted to be quiet. In the quiet prison ladder, I spend my life in darkness.
This is the strange thing about Earl Black. The wood spirit is a bit too naive.
Angel tentatively replied: "Timidity, timidity, and isolation are not bad habits. But this bad habit is directed at oneself, not others, so it is not considered a bad thought."
The Black Earl thought for a while: "It is also possible."
After finishing speaking, the Black Earl didn't say any more, he just needed to stop talking.
The Black Earl stopped, and Doakes immediately picked up:
"Now it is basically certain that the wooden staff is the original body of the wood spirit. However, there are still some prerequisite issues that have not been resolved." Doakes said: "First, if these rings, ornaments, and crowns all belong to Wood spirits, then why were they scattered everywhere?"
"Second, if these ornaments do not belong to the wood spirit, why does the wood spirit love them so much and is not even willing to give them to Xixia in exchange for tickets?"
"As for the third one." Doakes looked at Angel: "If this silver staff belongs to the wood spirit, then according to the family emblem on it, the wooden staff is most likely to come from the Iguluo family. Judging from the time, it will be No, it comes from your mentor, the Master of Illusion?"
The three questions raised by Doakes are all of concern to everyone, especially the third question.
If it really came from Sanders, then Angel had always said that what Sanders left behind was a "dagger". What's going on?
Angel pondered for a moment and said: "I can't answer the first question, but judging from the ornaments alone, these ornaments are actually quite conspicuous. I personally speculate that with the timid and cowardly character of the wood spirit, I will never leave these conspicuous things for Wumugui to notice me, and maybe I will throw them away."
"Of course, the greater possibility is that before the wood spirit was born, that is to say, when it was just an ordinary walking stick, these ornaments were almost scraped off by the Wumu ghost. Because these ornaments are very important to a special cane. For a Wu-eyed ghost, it is quite beautiful. It collects the beautiful ornaments and then randomly throws away the black staff body of the wood spirit body. This is very likely to happen."
"As for the ownership of the small circles and the big rings... This can also be inferred from that special witch-eyed ghost. It took off the crown and thought it looked good, but the small circles inside were very annoying, and then discarded it. As a result, It was picked up by other Wumugui. In the end, Su Ling got the advantage."
"As for the big ring, it doesn't look very good at first glance. It's possible that the special witch-eyed ghost took the ornaments on it and left, leaving a big ring alone on the wood spirit."
"However, the above are all based on speculation, and I cannot give a definite answer."
Although the first question Angel answered was based on speculation, the logic was self-consistent. After everyone listened, they thought about it and felt that Angel's conjecture was not impossible.
From the fact that Doakes did not continue to delve deeper into this issue, we can see that he actually agrees with this inference.
"The second question is actually an extension of the first question. If that special witch-eyed ghost only values the beauty of the ornaments, then she takes off the crown as a collection and takes off the oval pendant to carry with her. Reasonable. And because the big ring is not very good-looking and not very easy to obtain, I simply left it on the wood spirit."
"If the wood spirit was born after the head of the staff was taken away, when he saw the big ring on his body, he would naturally think it was his own and couldn't put it down."
"If the wood spirit was born very early, with its timid character, it would be impossible to resist and would have to let the head of the staff be disintegrated. The lonely ring left in the end would naturally become its most cherished treasure."
The second question basically didn’t require much explanation and everyone could understand it, so Angel just mentioned it briefly.
He also knew that what others were most concerned about was not these two issues, but Dox's third question.
"As for the third question..." Angel rubbed his brows and said with a bitter look on his face: "If you ask me, I'm confused."
"According to what my mentor told me, what he left here is indeed a dagger. Moreover, I have seen the appearance of that dagger through illusion. The handle of the dagger is indeed very similar to the oval pendant. It is similar, with the emblem of the Iguluo family engraved on it. This is also the reason why I misunderstood that the ornament on the witch-eyed ghost might have been polished with the hilt of a dagger."
"As for the short staff of the Iguro family, this mentor has never mentioned it."
In order to prove that what he said was true, Angel even took the initiative to let the Black Count release the power of truth to distinguish the truth from the lies.
The result of the power word spell was just as Angel said, and he didn't know about the existence of the short staff.
Doakes: "If the Phantom Master hadn't told you about the existence of the short staff, would it have been left here by other members of the Iguro family?"
Angel: "I don't know."
However, Angel felt that it was unlikely. Because the Yiguluo family is not a wizard family, but a traditional mortal noble family. Although Sanders became a powerful true wizard, he neither married a wife nor left any children, nor did he even care about the Yiguluo family. The development of... Under such circumstances, it is actually more difficult for the Iguluo family to give birth to another extraordinary person.
Rather than being a transcendent, it is almost impossible to reach this area.
Therefore, Angel was also very confused about this. He preferred that the short cane probably belonged to Sanders, but Sanders never mentioned that he had left the cane behind.
The most important thing is that in the nightmare world, the "young version of Sanders" that Angel met by chance also held a dagger in his hand, not a cane.
So where does this cane come from?
Could it be that all of Angel's previous inferences were wrong, and that the body of the wood spirit was not a wooden staff? Or, the so-called staff head actually has nothing to do with the wood spirit?
Angel let out a long sigh and said, "This is what I call the interesting point, because I don't know what the answer is or what the truth is."
"Only by finding the wood spirit, or finding a way to get the wise master to speak, may we be able to learn the truth."
At this point, Angel mentioned the original incident again.
"By the way, whether this ring belongs to the wood spirit or not, it was ripped off by Xixia from the wood spirit. Is it true that none of you know how to use the borrowed object tracking technique?"
After speaking, Angel looked directly at the Black Earl. This sentence refers to "you", but Angel refers to only one person, the Black Earl.
Because others have similar prophecies, they have already said so. The Black Earl has personally demonstrated prophecy, so it is most likely the Black Earl.
This time, the Black Earl was not as silent as last time, but calmly replied: "It's a little early to talk about this now. It won't be too late to talk after we go to the prison ladder and we can't find the wood spirit."
"Since Sisia said that the wood spirit values this ring very much, then maybe it doesn't even have to look for it directly. It will find it by itself if it holds this silver ring in its hand."
Angel: "What if it doesn't work?"
Black Earl: "If all methods are useless, let's talk about the trace."
Although the Black Earl did not make a direct promise, he indirectly stated that he would use the tracking technique if it really didn't work out.
Having these words is actually enough.
Angel: "Then I hope that as Lord Black Earl said, the wood spirit will show up when it sees the ring..."
