"Why do they want to explore the void?"
Doakes came back from his "zombie run", only to find Angel and Kael wandering into the void. The "angry" acting skills he had prepared were temporarily useless; he could only suppress his emotions and show off to others. Find out why Angel did this.
Vai shook his head: "I don't know. I just said that I wanted to try it..."
Vai didn't hide anything, and roughly explained the previous situation.
After Doakes heard this, not only was his doubts unsolved, but he became even more confused.
Exploring the void itself is very strange. Because the Ladder to Prison is also in an alien space, the void here is separated from the real void and is full of man-made traces, so there is basically not much exploration value.
Moreover, if you really want to explore the void, why would you choose here? You know, there are quite a lot of space cracks here, and it is obviously an unstable area of space. Why would you actively put yourself in danger when you know that there are many dangers?
"The only reason that can be explained is that he may have discovered some clues that forced him to take this path." Doakes expressed his guess.
After finishing speaking, his eyes glanced at the wise master intentionally or unintentionally. His words were addressed to the wise ruler, because only the wise ruler knows what is going on in the void.
At first, Doakes' eyes were very reserved, just "hints"; later, when he saw that the wise master ignored him, he began to become bolder, and his "hints" became "express", and he almost didn't stand in front of the wise master to give instructions. I asked, rubbing his nose.
The wise master was a little annoyed by Doakes's increasingly "obvious" eyes, and finally said: "Apart from the space cracks that are constantly arising and dying, I don't know what else is worth paying attention to there."
"So, there's nothing over there? Only danger?" Doakes touched his chin and muttered, "That's strange."
Not only Doakes was confused, but everyone present was also confused. Even wise men are surprised as to why Angel suddenly wanted to explore this void. It is obviously a high-risk area for space cracks and there cannot be anything valuable there.
Just when everyone was full of questions, Kael, who was sitting not far away, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Why did you wake up first? Where's Jin?" Doakes stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw Kael wake up.
It took Kael a few seconds to come to his senses, but when he came to his senses, he did not look at Doakes, but instead looked at Angel on the other side.
Seeing that Angel was not awake, Kael's expression was complicated, including worry, fear and anxiety.
"What are you thinking about?" Doakes spoke again, and Kael turned to look at him. Doakes quickly asked: "Where is Jin?"
Kael shook his head: "We fell into a dangerous area full of cracks in the new space. After the adults protected me and evacuated, they did not leave with me, but entered the dangerous area alone again."
"So persistent? Is there anything in that dangerous area that attracts him?" At this time, the Black Earl, who had been silent, also asked.
Kael still shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. Your Excellency didn't tell me anything. He just asked me to take him to avoid the space cracks. How far can we go?"
Black Earl: "He will not go deep into the danger zone for no reason. There must be some external motivation pushing him forward."
But what this "external motivation" is, the Black Earl doesn't know yet. If it were anyone else, most external motivations could be called 'interests', but for Angel, pure interests may not be able to attract him.
But if there really is something in the danger zone that attracts him, then did the wise master lie before?
Just when the Black Earl was secretly guessing, Kael suddenly said loudly: "I'm back, my lord is back."
The Black Count turned around and saw that Angel had indeed opened his eyes, but his face was a little pale and there was obvious fatigue in his eyes.
Black Earl: "Your mental power...is damaged?"
Angel nodded: "I was very unlucky. I encountered some dangers. I had no choice but to give up a piece of my spiritual tentacle."
As soon as Angel finished speaking, he saw both Kael and Vai looking at him with worried eyes.
Kael's worry probably stems from guilt; Angel can't understand Vai's worry, but there is no doubt that both of their emotions are sincere.
Thinking of this, Angel added: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."
What Angel said "very quickly" was really very quickly. In less than two minutes, his face gradually returned to rosy.
The restoration of his complexion meant that Angel was fine at this time and would no longer be affected by the dizziness caused by the loss of mental power.
However, the lost mental power can no longer be recovered, which means that although his overall feeling has been restored, his strength has actually declined.
However, this loss of mental power is just a drizzle to Angel, and the decrease in strength is minimal. Even if he only relies on two or three hours of meditation a day, he can fully recover in a week at most.
So when Angel said "don't worry about him", he really didn't need to worry.
"Why are you going to explore the void?" Seeing Angel recover, Doakes immediately stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Try a little bit." Angel's answer was still as perfunctory as before.
Doakes continued to ask without giving up: "What are you trying to do?"
Angel did not answer immediately, but first signaled to Kael that he could go. Then he turned around and walked back, saying to Doakes: "Try to explore the void here."
"Why should we explore the void? Besides, wouldn't it be better to go elsewhere to explore the void?" Doakes immediately followed.
Faced with Doakes' questioning, Angel acted unhurriedly and seemed to have been prepared: "The more space cracks there are, the lower the shackles of the magic energy array, and the more information can be seen. Therefore, , I picked a dangerous area, maybe I can take this opportunity to get some clues."
Angel's meaning was already clear. He was going to analyze the underlying rules of the magic energy array of the Prison Ladder.
This answer didn't sound problematic, and most of the people accepted this reason. Along the way, they witnessed Angel's powerful control over the magic energy array. Therefore, it is indeed possible that Angel wants to explore the underlying rules of the magic energy array and focus on others.
Moreover, thinking about it this way, what Angel did was quite understandable.
However, they accepted the answer, but the wise master could not accept it. It's not that he doesn't believe in Angel's magic energy formation level, but he doesn't understand why Angel wants to analyze the magic energy formation of the Ladder of Prison?
He doesn't believe in the idea of being anti-customer. Even if Angel possesses the complete drawings of the magic energy array of the Prison Stairway, he cannot turn the enemy around, because the magic energy array here is connected to the outside world; unless Angel controls the magic energy array of the entire underground waterway, there will be no way. The confidence to turn against customers.
Also, Angel's goal is to find the wood spirit. There is no affiliation between the wood spirit and the magic energy array. Even if Angel controls the magic energy array on the Ladder of Prison, he may not be able to find the hidden wood spirit.
Just like the wise master can now barely control the magic energy array of the Ladder of Prison, but even so, he has to start from the beginning to find the wood spirit every time he enters the Ladder of Prison.
Therefore, it sounds like the Wise Lord does not think what Angel said is true.
But if it wasn't true, what was he doing in that dangerous zone?
As Doakes summed it up: there is only danger at the end, no opportunity.
In this case, Angel had no reason to go to the dangerous area unless he was looking for death.
The wise master wanted to ask the doubts in his heart, but felt that this was a bit too fussy? Maybe Angel's own purpose was to create doubts and confuse his mind?
Thinking of this, the wise man still suppresses his thoughts and focuses on observation.
In the view of the wise master, the answers summarized from observing a person's behavior patterns and thinking methods are often more credible than the answers he gets from others.
Angel was also a little surprised by the silence of the wise master. He was already prepared to tell the truth, because it wasn't a big secret.
At most, he would be laughed at for being deceived. Moreover, after talking about it, Angel was able to ask the wise master openly and honestly what it was that resonated with the cane.
After all, he still didn't explore to the end this time. Without Kael's perception of space, Angel entered the danger zone by himself and could only rely on luck to move. Good luck would not always favor Angel. In the end, he was crushed by a new space gap and stopped at the end.
But what Angel didn't expect was that the wise master actually resisted asking and others believed his lie. This made Angel wonder to himself: Has his level of lying improved? How can a lie told casually be concealed?
Since no one else questioned his words, Angel gave up trying to explain.
Although he doesn't mind being laughed at too much, he still has to do his best to regain respect if he can.
…
Back to the fork in the road again. They had chosen the left before, but this time they could only choose the right.
"If the wood spirit is really on the right, then you can use the cane to guide the direction, which is quite accurate." Doakes stood in the middle of the fork in the road, where Angel stood and threw the cane not long ago. Although the cane pointed to the right, Angel chose the left.
"Speaking of which, why did you choose the left side just now? The cane obviously fell to the right."
Angel looked back at where he came from and made sure that the cane no longer had any heat or resonance, and then he said, "Because I don't really believe in fate."
"???" Doakes looked confused.
"That's why I chose to go to the left first." Angel shrugged.
Doakes was stunned for a while before he realized that Angel was saying that the direction in which the cane fell was guided by fate, but he didn't believe in fate, so he walked in the opposite direction.
Doakes understood, but couldn't figure it out. There is absolutely no logic in this, and it sounds like a naughty child who is fighting with his parents.
"Are you trying to deal with me?" Although it was a question, Doakes' tone was very firm.
"Guess?" Angel neither admitted nor denied, but ignored Doakes and walked directly towards the depths.
Angel's 'evil behavior' successfully reminded Doakes of his anger at being dominated by Angel. Doakes also turned into a roaring sandworm and began to chatter in Angel's ears, accusing and criticizing him.
However, Doakes only talked for a minute before he found himself speechless.
To be precise, it wasn't that he was speechless, but that his voice seemed to be separated by a thin film and could not reach Angel's ears at all.
However, Vai, Black Earl and the Wise Master could hear clearly.
Moreover, Doakes's words no longer produced high pitches and low pitches depending on the distance, but crackled directly into their ears. It was as if Doakes was speaking in their ears.
…It wasn’t as if, but really, Doakes was talking in their ears.
Although Doakes was far away from them in the live illusion, in reality, Doakes was right beside them.
That is to say——
"He has deprived you of the sound and illusion node. When you speak now, you are speaking directly in reality, not in fantasy." The Black Earl paused and warned Doakes in the psychic belt: "You better Shut up, I don’t want to hear you yelling in my ears. Or do you want to try the feeling of being banned in reality?”
Faced with the threat from the Black Earl, Doakes could only endure it although he was very unhappy.
Since he couldn't speak, Doakes began to use the psychic belt to carry out continuous bombardment. However, both the Black Earl and Angel blocked the psychic tether at this time. Even the wise master who overheard their conversation felt that the psychic tether was making trouble and voluntarily quit the psychic tether.
Nowadays, the only people Doakes can complain to are Vai and Kael.
However, although Doakes was making trouble, he was also measured. He can express himself unscrupulously with Angel and others, but he has to restrain himself when talking to apprentices.
After all, the wise master is still around, and he doesn't want Vai and Kael to expose more information because of himself.
However, Doakes was still a little reluctant. Since he couldn't say anything, he simply ran directly to Angel, like a hidden fox, squinting at Angel the whole way.
Angel felt a little awkward at first, but then he didn't take it seriously at all. It's all an illusion anyway, and you can't do anything to yourself, so just treat it as a moving pendant.
With this thought in mind, Angel simply ignored Doakes and thought about other things.
The cane's initial resonance position was on the left. Now it has been determined that the left is a dangerous area where space cracks are constantly arising and disappearing.
If this was the fault of the wood spirit, does it mean that the wood spirit planned to lure him into a trap at the beginning, and if possible, it would be best to die in the space crack over there?
If this is true, then why did the wood spirit change its mind and move the resonance position to the right?
