The cane has no support, just standing straight on the road in the void.
Angel, on the other hand, closed his eyes, showing the presence of the old god.
At first glance, Angel looks a bit like "fishing", waiting for the fish to take the bait. But in fact, Angel was already looking for an excuse in his heart: If the wood spirit didn't appear in the end, how could he fool other people and make them think that he had really found the wood spirit? Instead of being mysterious?
After all, it's just one-sided words now.
Distressed, so distressed.
"Is the wish that the adults are talking about just to see if the wood spirit is willing to appear?" Kael muttered.
"That's what he meant. What he did was completely..." Doakes paused, hesitating whether to say out the words in his throat, "My brain has been swallowed by a parasitic sandworm."
If I don't say it, I feel depressed, and if I say it, I'm afraid it will affect the progress of "making friends".
While Doakes was struggling, Vai next to him said with emotion: "You have already found the wood spirit, and you still need to consider respecting the wood spirit's opinion. If the wood spirit doesn't want to show up, he certainly won't." The one who forced the wood spirit... is so gentle."
The moment Vai finished speaking, Doakes was full of surprise. He turned his head and stared at Vai with a questioning look, "Are you telling the truth?"
However, Vai completely ignored Doakes and continued to express similar emotions.
Doakes: "If this can make you praise me, when I was on the edge of Chen Chi's world, my skin was scorched by evil fire in order to save you. Why didn't you say that I was gentle?"
Vai: "You're exaggerating. It's obviously just a small burn on your back, so why is your whole body burned? Besides, you're on the blood side, and you'll heal on your own in a short time."
Doakes: "You call the evil fire's spray of flames 'little burn'? Besides, what do you mean by 'not that long'? It obviously took me half a year to recover from my injuries."
"Half a year is not long." Vai turned his face sideways and muttered guiltily.
But Doakes was so angry that he wanted to bring Vai back to Chen Chi's world and let Xie Huo give "Xiao Zhuo" a shot to see what his reaction would be.
This is such a double standard!
Vai probably felt that what he just said was a bit too much. After all, Doakes was trying to save him... Although he repaid the favor in various ways over the years, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to speak like this. He stopped saying anything, neither quarreled with Doakes nor lamented to Angel, he just silently eliminated his sense of existence.
On the other side, after listening to the conversation between Vai and Doakes, the wise master originally wanted to analyze the relationship between them and the information revealed. But when it came to the analysis step, Vai's original words rang in his mind: The adults have already found the wood spirit, and they still need to consider respecting the wood spirit's opinion... How gentle.
The wise master couldn't help but think astray. Did he really respect the wood spirit's opinion, or was he just performing it for himself?
The wise master prefers the latter. He knew very well that the wood spirit could not be moved so easily, and in this way, it had no effect except to move himself.
Since he wasn't trying to impress the wood spirit, then he was just performing for himself by doing this? After all, Mu Ling is a student he recognizes, so it is very possible for him to do this.
In fact, the wise master does not have much objection to this kind of distorted thinking. Angel's willingness to "perform" in this way actually shows that he is willing to improve the contentious relationship. Then, maybe this chess piece called "Variable" can be used by him, and not all of them have to listen to him. At least it can affect his decision to a certain extent.
In this case, if something really changed for the worse, he would have time to prepare for it.
When the wise master thought of this, he had even begun to deduce in his mind how to maximize the use of Angel's chess piece.
However, when he came back to his senses, a voice faintly emerged in his heart:
"Can a chess piece that can be influenced and controlled be called a variable?"
Aren't variables just "unknown"? Everything that happens is immeasurable, so it can be called a variable. If Angel can really be controlled and bows his head to him, does this seem to be out of the category of variables?
The wise man's thoughts are racing, and his expression is constantly changing. Sometimes he frowns, sometimes relaxes, sometimes doubts, sometimes ponders, which shows how intense the game in his heart is.
If Angel knew the thoughts in the mind of the wise master, he would probably be very lucky. Fortunately, he did not bow to the wise master.
The smarter the person, the more he thinks. The more you think about it, the less you trust others.
For this kind of people, maintaining a balance of terror will lead to higher cooperation efficiency. If you were to turn to him blindly, you would not be so gullible without thousands of years of observation.
From this, we can actually see why the wise master chose the wood spirit as his student.
In addition to some sympathy for the same disease, the reason why the wise master chose the wood spirit as his student was more because he had mastered all the trajectories of the wood spirit.
The wood spirit is basically a blank slate at the beginning of its birth. Only such pure and flawless creatures, which he understands thoroughly, can gain his unconditional trust.
Even though the wood spirit has many flaws, the wise master still hasn't given up on him, and that's why.
It's just that the wise master thought he had all the information about the wood spirit, but he forgot one thing, the true nature of the wood spirit.
It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue the true nature of the wood spirit, but that the wood spirit didn't cooperate. The talent of the wood spirit makes it difficult for the wise master to break its inner meaning. In addition, it was a student he taught, so even if the wood spirit was still rebellious, he would not be able to do anything to it.
This resulted in the wise master never truly understanding the origin of the wood spirit.
In addition, the wise master himself observed that the extraordinary nature of the wood spirit only appeared after the birth of the spirit body. This means that the body of the wood spirit is actually very ordinary. It is most likely an ordinary plant or an artificial wooden object. .
Regardless of which type, the wood spirit's body is very ordinary, so it is very likely that the former owner of the wood spirit's body was a mortal, or a very low-level apprentice. For this kind of people, the wise master will not pay too much attention to them. There is a high probability that these people will die.
Combining various factors, the wise master no longer cared about the true nature of the wood spirit. But what he didn't expect was that the owner of the Wood Spirit was indeed a very low-level apprentice, but his talent was extremely high. Hundreds of years later, he had become one of the top wizards in the Southern Territory.
What the wise master never expected was that the student of the master of the wood spirit would come here by chance.
This can be regarded as an oversight by the wise ruler. But when it comes to reviewing the ending, the wise master will most likely recognize this omission, because this is too coincidental and Taijian went off the rails. Even if the ending is known, it will be difficult to make up for this omission.
However, at this time, the wise master did not know that everything was doomed. He also thought that Angel's behavior at this time was a show for him.
In fact, Angel is indeed performing, but he is not performing for the wise masters, but for the "audience".
Although he knew that the wood spirit was here, he could not find any trace of the wood spirit, and the wood spirit did not contact him, so there was nothing he could do.
Yelling and yelling here will not help, but will only make you lose face. Then simply adopt a "whoever wants to take the bait" attitude, and it all depends on Mu Ling's own decision.
And this is the only thing Angel can do at the moment.
Angel didn't know whether the wood spirit would come out, but he believed that there was a high probability that it wouldn't.
Although Mu Ling took the initiative to contact him for the sake of Sanders, after all, Sanders was only the former owner of Wood Ling, and it was not clear how much emotion he really had.
Wood Spirit didn't even really see Sanders after giving birth to Spirit Wisdom.
Angel thinks that even if Sanders comes here in person, the wood spirit may not show up. He is just a student of Sanders, so it is normal for the wood spirit not to appear.
This is why Angel has already begun to prepare his words in advance, thinking about how to "act" later so that everyone can understand that he has really discovered the wood spirit and is not just playing monkey tricks here.
"By the way, Vai said before that I respect the free will of the wood spirit... maybe we can start from this." Angel thought to himself, should he perform a similar drama then?
But, is it too much to respect Kodama's freedom of choice? Judging from the information on the holographic tablet, this can be done on Earth, because as long as the problem is raised to values, the ignorant people can empathize. In addition, when technology enters a period of slow development, the earth is relatively peaceful, there are many people who are full and have nothing to do, and there are many organizations fanning the flames. Coupled with the developed information network, some operations can make people more convincing.
But this is not the earth, and there is no efficient intelligence network. Mentioning respect for freedom and human rights will probably only make people think that he has taken the wrong medicine?
Thinking about it this way, manipulating this topic is likely to make people laugh. How to act?
Angel fell into deep thought again.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Angel still looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand. However, it still makes people feel confused if there is no movement after a long time.
"Could we have been tricked by him?" Doakes whispered.
Because Angel has been like this for a long time, but there is no response. Not to mention Doakes, even Vai was a little hesitant at this time.
"How about calling the adults?" Kael said.
"If you are busy, we will disturb you, right?" Vai said hesitantly.
Doakes said angrily: "Does he look like he's busy? Don't be fooled by his appearance. His heart is black when cut out."
After Doakes finished speaking, he pushed Kael directly: "Go and wake him up. Tell him that if you really can't find the wood spirit, replace him quickly. Don't waste time."
Vai: "...why don't you say it yourself and let others say it."
Doakes said seriously: "We will still meet in the future, so we can show some kindness to each other."
Kael was already ready to step forward, but when he heard Doakes' words, he stopped. Doakes wanted the favor, but he didn't want it?
Moreover, according to Doakes' intention, wouldn't it cause displeasure if he woke Angel up? He doesn't want it!
Kael's situation instantly became a dilemma, and his face was full of tears.
Perhaps he heard Kael's inner voice, or perhaps the performance was almost over. After five minutes of standing quietly with his eyes closed, Angel finally opened his eyes.
After pretending to look around and making sure that the surrounding area was empty, Angel sighed: "It seems that you still don't want to go out with me, that's fine. I respect your choice..."
Angel uttered this sentence with great emotion, from the helplessness and loss at the beginning to the solemnity at the end, everything was expressed well.
However, the only thing Angel regretted was that he didn't come up with other tricks.
In the end, he chose to perform the section "Respect your freedom of choice".
The main thing is that he did waste too much time here and had no time to think about other dramas. If he really did something, even if it didn't work out in the end, that would be it. But he didn't do anything at all. He was just killing time. Even with his eyes closed and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was still a little embarrassed.
In addition, this section has the foreshadowing of Vai and Angel's performance. Even if the values are inconsistent, at least it will give others a time to adapt in advance.
The most important thing is that Angel has not forgotten that he is now a guest "anchor".
As soon as the live broadcast was turned off and the curtain was drawn, he became the normal Angel again. As for his acting and value deviation just now, these are just the effects of the live broadcast. What does it have to do with Angel?
After giving enough psychological preparation, Angel gritted his teeth and started to act out the drama.
Emotional perception makes Angel's acting possibilities wider and more realistic. Even if he didn't burst into tears during the performance, his helplessness was still very contagious.
If Wizard Muying from Xiju Academy was here at this time, he would probably be impressed by Angel's acting skills.
Angel didn't say much, and his emotions were very restrained. He stopped at the point.
Then, at the last moment of the performance, according to the live broadcast effect set by Angel himself, he would sigh and leave.
It would be best for others to watch his figure step into the darkness and gradually disappear. In this case, the dramatic effect will be more intense and fascinating.
However, when Angel really turned around, what he didn't notice was that the noisy sounds in the distance suddenly stopped.
Everything became quiet.
It wasn't until Angel walked more than ten steps that he discovered that no one in the audience was "supporting" the show. Even Vai, the designated best audience member, didn't say a word. This made Angel fall into doubt.
Could it be...that something was wrong with his acting just now? Not profound enough? Or is it that there are too many similar dramas that other people have seen, so they can’t empathize with them?
With a hint of apprehension, Angel paused for a moment, preparing to "make up" another retrospective scene.
Although this kind of retrospective scene is usually placed in an indecisive character, he is on a live broadcast now, and all interpretation rights belong to the host and have nothing to do with Angel.
Thinking of this, Angel adjusted his mind, let his expression return to normal, and then suddenly looked back unexpectedly.
Angel was already ready to say the "re-recorded" lines, but when he turned around, Angel was stunned.
Because, at some point, there suddenly appeared someone almost the same height as him behind him——
Blockhead!
