When the wise master was surprised by the extremely luxurious nightmare realm, the Black Earl showed that he was not surprised. Although he didn't know the principle of the nightmare realm, he had seen Sanders release the black tower nightmare realm.
The extremely luxurious nightmare realm released by Angel gave him the same feeling as the black tower nightmare realm.
Countless people have studied Sanders' Black Tower Nightmare Realm, including the Black Earl, but in the end they have not come up with any results. In the end, they can only regard it as the single-vein illusion of the Phantom Island.
The only ones who are currently studying the Nightmare Realm of the Black Tower are probably the group of wilderness wizards from the Rat and Ant Underground Society. They consider themselves to be Sanders's old enemies, so they naturally want to thoroughly study all of Sanders' abilities. In fact, Sanders has never even looked at them.
As for studying the nightmare realm? Back then, the Black Count secretly lured Sumishi to the land of the Noah tribe, hoping to secretly study his nightmare realm of the Demonic Abyss. As a result, he was almost dragged into an unknown cave abyss by the shadow in the Demonic Abyss.
Later, the Black Earl also asked his old friend Rhine about the Nightmare Realm. Rhine did not answer directly, but gave a very clear message: only people from the Fantasy Island know this thing. Moreover, currently only Sanders can use the nightmare realm perfectly, and the nightmare realms of everyone else are basically cut out by Sanders.
At that time, Angel was not born yet, so what Rhine said was correct. But now, the answer is naturally different.
Having said that, the Black Earl had no interest in studying the nightmare realm after asking about Rhine.
He is looking at the nightmare realm now. Although he will look around, he is not studying the underlying logic of the nightmare realm, but more speculating on the effects of the nightmare realm.
Sanders' Dark Tower Nightmare combines suppression, imprisonment, and blood moon amplification.
Sumishi's Demonic Abyss Nightmare Realm is of an offensive nature, fighting through demonic shadows.
As for Angel's nightmare realm, the Black Earl has not seen any effect yet. It is exactly the same as a normal noble hall. There is a gorgeous main hall, a conference area with curtain partitions, a mixing table for entertainment, and a piano area illuminated by a beam of light.
If the Black Count hadn't been so familiar with the aura of the nightmare realm, he probably really thought it was just an ordinary illusion.
"Is this Angel's nightmare?" the Black Count secretly thought in his heart. It seems that he is not taking the control route or the attack route, so what could it be?
When the Black Earl was thinking this, his eyes inadvertently spotted a lonely long table in the corner.
The wall candle illuminated the stacks of manuscripts on the long table. The ink bottle next to it has bottomed out, and even the quill inserted in the ink bottle is missing a few feathers.
"Isn't this where Angel does research?"
The Black Earl thought for a while and felt that this answer might be close to the truth. Angel is an academic wizard who cares more about research than fighting. As for a scholar, what he cares most about when doing research is the research environment.
I have to say that there is no problem here as a research environment.
The Black Earl thought of this and chuckled in his heart. The people on Phantom Island were indeed very interesting. Sanders likes to suppress people in the black tower, Sumishi creates a bunch of demon shadows whenever he disagrees, and Flora raises a pink skeleton in her nightmare.
In comparison, Angel looks much more normal.
After the Black Earl confirmed that this nightmare realm had no special effects, he leisurely landed on Vai's shoulder and motioned for him to find a seat at the long table next door.
"Aren't we in the earth ring wall? Will we leave the earth ring wall?" Vai was a little worried.
"It's different. Your state can be both illusion and reality. When you are attacked, you are an illusion; but when you are safe, you are the entity here." said the Black Earl.
It can be said that under Angel's manipulation, their current state is in a state that is both illusory and real.
As long as Angel is willing, they can transform from the real body into the illusion at any time and return to the earth ring wall.
This is actually Angel's application of illusion: true and false can change freely.
However, this is only the case for Vai, Kael and others, because they are isolated by the earth ring wall. For safety reasons, Angel will put them in a state where they can actively escape from the nightmare at any time and return to reality. .
As for Angel, the Black Earl, and the Wise Master, their true bodies were completely covered by the nightmare realm. If he wants to leave, Angel must either lift the nightmare realm or destroy it.
From this point of view, the Black Earl admired Angel very much. He considered it very comprehensively, not only preventing the people in the earth ring wall from completely understanding their conversation, but also isolating the people in the earth ring wall to a certain extent to avoid direct contact with the wise master. It can be said that this is the most perfect best-effort method at present. If it were anyone else, even if they could achieve this best-of-both-worlds strategy, they probably wouldn’t waste time considering other people’s ideas.
Vai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could leave at any time without worrying about safety issues.
Then, following the Black Earl's advice, he came behind the curtain.
Someone has already taken a seat at the long conference table. Angel and the Wise Lord are sitting at both ends, looking at each other from a distance. Others were sitting on the side seats, and Angel's left hand seat was vacant.
There is no doubt that this is the position reserved for the Black Earl. But the Black Earl was on Vai's shoulder, so... Vai had no choice but to sit down.
As soon as Vai sank into the slightly soft chair, he heard bursts of plucking from the side.
When he looked up, he saw a pale gold-speckled teacup with a harp handle staggering to his side.
The light golden speckled tea cup not only stretched out its white porcelain-like thin hands to play the piano, but also obediently dropped the cup into Vai's hand, gesturing for him to taste the golden tea in the cup.
Vai was a little at a loss and looked at Angel next to him.
Angel: "Drink, that's what they want."
"Them", "mind"? Vai didn't understand what it meant, but Angel's words made him slightly excited.
Are you being treated specially?
However, the excitement did not last long. When he looked back, he found that there was a musical instrument teacup in front of everyone, containing various kinds of steaming tea.
Vai was a little disappointed. He originally thought he was being treated specially by his idol...
But soon, Vai cheered up again because he discovered another detail.
Except for the light golden teacup that played the harp in front of him, the other teacups had strange tempers.
For example, the teacup placed in front of Doakes is a pink teacup holding a baton. Doakes was already very dissatisfied with the pink teacup, which went against his macho image, but what made Doakes even more unhappy was that whenever he wanted to drink tea, the teacup wouldn't let him go, instead holding the command The stick hit Doakes with a flurry of blows.
Also, in front of Kael was a tambourine teacup. The tambourine teacup would not beat Kael, but it was concentrating on playing the drum and completely ignoring Kael.
The teacup placed in front of the wise master was even more bizarre. It was a Shiqin teacup, which was the only teacup with a mouth.
The Shiqin teacup recited incomprehensible words while playing the high-pitched harp.
The wise master did not try to touch the Shiqin teacup. Although the dark green tea liquid in the teacup smelled very fragrant, it was not enough to attract him.
As for the Black Earl...because he has no mouth, there is no tea cup to serve him.
Looking at it like this, Vai feels that he seems pretty good? At least, he can drink tea?
Thinking of this, he took a sip of the shimmering golden tea in the tea cup.
Overall, the taste is a bit bitter and not very tasty. And it’s just ordinary tea, which can quench your thirst, but it’s not so much that you must try it.
But even so, Vai's tutor still asked him to drink all the tea and subconsciously said thank you. When he came to his senses, he realized that the other person was just a teacup, so thanking him seemed useless.
While Vai was in a daze, the pale golden harp teacup played a beautiful piece of music for him, and then he retreated.
"You are drinking golden night flower tea. How does it taste?" At this time, Angel walked up to Vai and asked.
Vai still said modestly: "It tastes pretty good."
Angel smiled and looked at Vai with eyes full of meaning: "You are quite lucky."
After speaking, Angel did not explain, but turned his head and looked at Doakes in the distance.
Because Doakes had begun to become irritable, and while crying out in pain, he asked Angel: "Can I smash this teacup? It's so disgusting! Even if you don't give me a drink, you still dare to hit me!" "
Angel: "You can do whatever you want. But if something happens, don't rely on me."
"Something happened? What happened?" Doakes wondered.
Angel didn't explain, just looked at Doakes with a smile.
Doakes was stared at by Angel, who sent chills down his spine. Angel usually would not say such words, and once he said such words, it might be really dangerous.
Thinking of this, Doakes cursed a few times, but still did not dare to touch those teacups. I could only cast a defensive spell on myself and sit on the sofa sulking.
Looking at Doakes' deflated appearance, Vai felt happy in his heart. If it was the time when he and Doakes were taking risks in the past, Vai would definitely go over and laugh at them, but now that not only his own adults were around, but his idol was also around, he still restrained himself.
Vai: "Sir, what's the matter with these teacups? They're quite cute."
Doakes: "Cute! Lovely! Cute?! You say cute again, and you say cute to my teacup!"
Doakes tried to push his teacup towards Vai, but the pink teacup seemed to recognize Doakes and refused to move.
At this time, Angel said: "These teacups are all attracted by your characteristics. The pink teacup will like you, and it will come to you no matter who you push it to."
"My trait? What do you mean?" Doakes asked confused.
Angel shrugged: "I can't tell. I brought these out from some mysterious place. They usually play music and dance, but when they meet people with similar characteristics, they are also willing to pour tea for the guests."
"By the way, you'd better send them away when you leave here, otherwise something bad may happen."
Angel deliberately said it mysteriously.
Doakes didn't care at all, but Vai, a little fanboy, naturally accepted whatever Angel said: "Why? What bad things will happen?"
Angel: "I don't know what will happen specifically. Maybe it will deprive you of your fighting ability, or make you unlucky for a period of time, or maybe it will simply entangle you..."
What Angel said was very mysterious, but in fact it was more of an exaggeration.
These few teacup bands of his, after a period of nourishment, do have something magical about them. But it's not to the level that Angel said.
There is so-called deprivation of ability, but if your hands are sore for a minute and you are unable to use weapons to fight, this can be regarded as deprivation of combat ability.
If you have been unlucky for a while, you might secretly combine it with other musical instruments and pour a basin of butter on your head while you are not paying attention. Is this also unlucky?
I've been pestering you, yes, and I'm pestering you right now.
Therefore, Angel is purely a bad factor and is online again.
Doakes was actually a little skeptical after hearing Angel's "alarmism", but he had no evidence to prove that Angel was telling lies.
At this time, Vai continued to ask: "What does sending away mean? Did I just send away the harp teacup?"
Angel didn't hesitate to say a few more words to Vai, who was very supportive of him: "Yes, the so-called sending him away means just drinking the tea they brought."
Vai: "That seems very simple."
Angel smiled mysteriously: "It's really simple, but I can reveal a secret to you. The Harp Teacup is the most unpleasant tea among all the teacup bands. If you said it didn't taste good at the time, or just spit it out, Then the consequence may be that the strings of the harp tea cup are cramped. So, you are in good luck, or in other words, the etiquette teaching is very good."
Vai said before that it was delicious and drank it all in one gulp. It was more of a etiquette. To put it bluntly, it was hypocritical. But Harp Teacup happened to follow this trick, so Vai passed the level safely.
After Vai breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Kael and Doakes.
He also wanted to see how they sent away the tea cups.
Doakes was dubious and made no move. Kael really believed in Angel... Even if he didn't believe Angel's words, he didn't dare to show it.
However, according to what Angel said, the only way to give this tea cup away was to drink the tea inside, but how should he drink it?
Kael had a tambourine tea cup in front of him. He was concentrating on playing the drum and had no intention of bringing tea to him.
When Kael was at a loss, everyone saw the wise master sitting directly opposite Angel. He quickly said a few words to the Shiqin teacup, and then the Shiqin teacup brought his cup to the wise master’s mouth. , poured it down on his own initiative, and then left quickly.
What did the wise master do?
Everyone looked at the wise master in confusion.
Others wanted to drink tea, but there were still traces to follow, but the wise man dominated the Shiqin teacup over there, completely treating himself as a bard, and kept reciting unknown words. As a result, the wise man drank it earlier than they did. arrive?
How is this going?
Faced with everyone's questions, the wise master did not speak, but the Black Earl gave an explanation.
"The Shiqin tea cup just now sounded like nonsense, but it was actually a simple language association test. And in the end, you also saw that the wise master gave an accurate answer."
After a pause, the Black Earl continued: "Jin said before that these teacups are attracted by your characteristics. Then find a way to drink tea according to your own characteristics."
Angel nodded repeatedly. The Black Earl was worthy of being a Black Earl, and he could see through the trick at a glance.
The characteristic of the wise master is "wisdom", so Shiqin Teacup wants to test the wisdom of the wise master, but obviously it overestimates its own intelligence. In the end, under the crushing IQ, Shiqin Tea Cup almost ran away.
As for why it was etiquette that tested Vai, Angel didn't know. Perhaps Harp Teacup also noticed that the only person at the scene who would praise the taste of its tea was Vai...
With the hint from the Black Earl, Doakes and Kael quickly drank the tea.
Ka-El's is actually the simplest. His characteristic is concentration. The reason why Tambourine Teacup completely ignores Ka-El is because it is focused on playing the drum. He was naturally focused and would not be distracted. Kael ignored the drumming and directly put his head over to drink from the back of the tea cup.
Doakes's is also very simple. To solve the puzzle of the baton teacup, you just need to follow the trajectory of the baton and sing along. Moreover, the baton teacup is also half-filled. As long as you sing the pitch correctly, you can pass.
Doakes also sensed the mystery, but his shame prevented him from just humming along.
But when he thought about how dangerous these tea cups were, Angel said that even if he thought it was alarmist, if there was even a chance that it was true, then he would be at a big loss.
So in the end, Doakes gritted his teeth and hummed a few words and settled the matter.
The entire pre-tea process takes less than three minutes. But it made the atmosphere at the scene noticeably warmer.
