Is Angel's arrival really a coincidence?
Faced with the Wise Lord's suspicion, Angel was still thinking about his words, but the Black Earl said calmly: "The Wise Lord has been delving into whether his arrival is a coincidence. This makes me very puzzled. Is there any underground water in recent years? Big change? In recent years, have outsiders broken into the underground waterways, especially the prison ladder? "
"No, right?" Black Earl: "If not, why do you think his arrival is a coincidence? He has been exposed to the extraordinary world for less than ten years. During these years, he has to polish his abilities and learn the corresponding techniques. Time The distribution is uneven, so why would the wise master investigate whether it is a coincidence?"
"Also, the so-called coincidence means no coincidence. Perhaps Angel's appearance can be called a coincidence, but what is the corresponding 'combination'? I think only the wise master can explain the 'combination' clearly. Only then can we judge whether Angel’s arrival is a coincidence.”
The Black Earl's sudden support made Angel stunned. After listening to his series of rhetorical questions, Angel couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of the Black Earl, his expressions are concise and to the point, and his questions get to the point.
Firstly, it talked about the factors that prevented Angel's age from being a coincidence with Naraku City. Secondly, it also questioned the basis for the wise master's judgment that it was not a coincidence.
If it were Angel, he could only find a way to express his inner testimony. If the inner testimony is not enough, then write in a roundabout way in the mantra book, starting from when you received the mission from Aesop, write down a series of itineraries, and then let the wise man decide whether it is a coincidence.
It can be said that the Black Earl's words really helped Angel.
However, although Earl Black was helping Angel at this time, in fact, he had the same doubts as the wise master. Because along the way, Angel became too familiar with this place, and there were many inexplicable behaviors that made people feel very weird.
Moreover, Angel said from the beginning that he had no other aspirations, which also made the Black Earl suspicious.
But even if the Black Earl has doubts, his method of handling them is different from that of the wise master. He chose tolerance and ignorance.
Of course, this does not mean that the Black Earl is very broad-minded. It is purely because of Angel himself that he is willing to ignore those abnormal behaviors.
Angel's background, an important figure in the Savage Cave, a person valued by his close friend Rhine, and a disciple of Sanders who fell in love and killed each other. For this reason alone, the Black Earl would not do anything to Angel.
Along the way, Angel used his own strength to prove that he was worthy of becoming a member of the R&D Institute. This once again made the Black Earl think highly of Angel. After all, with such a technical talent, it is better to maintain a good relationship than to have a stalemate.
Therefore, regardless of whether Angel really has an ulterior motive this time, the Black Earl will speak for him. In this regard, they are on the same side.
On the other side, the wise ruler was also hesitant at this time.
Even Angel admired the words of the Black Earl in his heart. The wise master could naturally understand what the Black Earl wanted to express.
Indeed, Angel's age is very problematic. Regarding this, even the wise masters do not know how to explain it.
But when it comes to coincidental "combination", the wise ruler actually has something to say. However, after Angel's previous explanation, he also had some doubts about this "combination".
Maybe, he is really too worried?
After pondering for a moment, the wise master finally spoke. He said to the Black Earl: "I accept the doubt you raised. But I also believe that his arrival is not a coincidence."
The wise master paused and turned to look at Angel: "If you agree, you only need to do one thing, and this matter will be skipped. I will apologize for my doubts, a book of alchemy in my collection How about the notebook?"
Angel: "What's the matter?"
The wise master slowly said: "It is written in the mantra book that you have never met the woman in the oil painting in the prison ladder before, and you have never seen or heard her name. At the same time, you have not used any In this way, I learned about the legacy from an unknown person."
After hearing the words of the wise master, Angel and the Black Earl looked at each other. They understood almost immediately that the wise master judged that Angel's arrival might not be a coincidence, but because of the relationship with the woman.
Although the Black Earl understood the meaning of the wise master's words, he actually didn't know whether Angel was related to the woman.
The Black Earl subconsciously believed that Angel had nothing to do with that woman. However, as time passed, Angel did not write any words in the mantra book. Instead, he frowned and remained silent.
The Black Earl's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Angel's abnormal behavior along the way was really related to that woman?
Angel was fascinated by a lot of the information he knew. Could it be that the woman or the so-called unknown person gave it to Angel?
Under the gaze of everyone, Angel's hesitation seemed to prove the relationship between Angel and the woman.
However, after about half a minute, Angel raised his head: "What is an unknown person?"
Wise Lord: "Whoever inspired you to go to Remnant."
Angel: "The wise master thinks that my arrival was instigated by someone. Could it be some unknown person, or the woman in the oil painting?"
The wise master did not reply, but silence was an answer.
Angel: "I have just been thinking about what an unknown person is, because this scope is too broad. If you say who instigated me to come here, then I can clearly say that no one instigated it."
The wise man ruled: "Then you can write it in the mantra book."
Angel still did not write, but asked another question: "I can write, but if I guess the identity of the woman you are talking about, how should I judge her identity?"
The wise master was stunned: "Guess...guess?"
Angel shrugged: "We gained nothing along the way. We encountered many clues. It is not difficult to guess the identity of the woman."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone here."
The wise master hesitated for a moment and looked at Doakes...Kael next to him.
Although it is not difficult to see through Doakes, Doakes' answers are always out of the ordinary. It is better to just choose the simplest one and let the apprentice answer.
Every move of the apprentice cannot escape the eyes of the wise master.
Kael looked around, and finally pointed at himself, meaning: Me?
The wise master nodded: "Yes, tell me, do you know who the woman in that oil painting is?"
Kael shook his head: "I don't know, but we have encountered some clues before, and the oil painting is a mirror. I guess that she may be related to the Mirror Demon God, or even the Mirror Demon God himself."
Kael's answer made the wise master frown.
"Where did you learn the name of the Mirror Demon God?" the wise master asked.
Earl Black: "The entrance we entered was an underground church. That church was built by followers of the Mirror Demon. So, we knew the name Mirror Demon from that time."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, Angel also added: "We later found the logo of the Mirror Demon God in the ruins. Well, this is it."
Angel snapped his fingers, and a phantom pattern appeared in mid-air.
A pattern split into two appears in the logo, with one half showing the profile of a woman with long hair, and the other half showing the profile of a man wearing a hat.
"The profile of the woman in the logo is very similar to the blond woman in the oil painting. In addition, the oil painting actually used a mirror. We thought of the reflection in the mirror recorded in the underground church, so we guessed that she may be related to the Mirror Demon. .”
After Angel said this, he looked at the wise master: "We are still guessing. I don't know whether she is related to the Mirror Demon. However, if our guess is right, the master will let me write it in the book of truth. If I write that I don’t know her and have never met her, then I will be wronged in vain.”
After finishing speaking, Angel's expression almost overflowed with the question: So, is she the Mirror Demon?
The wise master pondered for a moment and then said: "When you record it in the book of mantras, you can write a premise, 'Before you arrive at Naraku City,' you do not know the existence of this woman, let alone hear her name. "
Although the wise master did not say it clearly, the fact that Angel added the premise of 'before arriving at Naraku City' actually hinted that their guess was correct.
That woman is indeed related to the Demon God of Mirrors. Maybe it's the long-haired woman in the logo.
Angel smiled: "Okay."
At this time, Angel did not hesitate and quickly wrote out every word in the mantra book according to what the wise master said.
There was no reaction from the mantra book, and the text was very smooth. This means that everything Angel said before is true.
He was not inspired by anyone.
He had never seen that woman before, let alone knew who she was.
Although the wise master feels that this is still not rigorous, it is enough. Just as the Black Earl said, Angel is too young, and even if there is a plan, it will not be his turn.
Moreover, he was not bewitched by the goddess. He came on his own initiative. Whether he had other thoughts, the wise ruler would not care.
No one who comes here has any thoughts. As long as Angel is not on the side of the goddess, then let this matter be over.
Wise Master: "My collection of alchemy manuscripts is in my hall. I will give you the original version later, and also give you my early manuscripts. Or, I can also make a replica for you directly here. Version."
Angel waved his hand quickly, he didn’t want the original, what kind of replica do you want?
Even if the content recorded in the original and the reprinted version are the same, every word in the original is rich in the emotion of the writer. As a master of emotional perception, Angel cannot abandon the original and copy the last. Version.
The wise master didn't care either. Since he had promised Angel to give it to him, he would naturally not break his promise.
"The misunderstanding about coincidence or not has been solved. Can we get down to business?" The Black Earl looked at the wise master.
"What are necessary conditions and what are bonus conditions? What do you need us to do?"
The wise master did not answer immediately, but said: "These words need to be said, but I still need to confirm some things, and my confrontation with her has already begun. It is not too late to talk after she retreats."
The confrontation with her has already begun? with who?
Everyone looked at the wise master in confusion, and the wise master said calmly: "You will know later, she will not let you go easily."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately remembered what the wise master said when they first met him.
He was commissioned to hinder their progress.
The wise master seemed to be blocking them, but in fact he wanted to use them to do something, and they could see that. So, they became the middleman in the game between the two parties?
The wise master did not mention too much about the "confrontation", but looked at Angel.
"I asked the questions just now and you answered them. Now, do you have any questions you want to ask me?" The wise man ruled: "Also, you don't need to ask about the legacy land. I will tell you everything later."
Angel: "I do have some questions. I asked Miss Sisia some of them, but she said she couldn't say them because she had an oath. I wonder if the wise master can say them?"
Angel didn't mention what the problem was, but since Sisia couldn't talk about it, there was no doubt that it must be a problem left over from the history of Narok City.
Wise Lord: "My oath has very few restrictions, but there are still things that cannot be said. It depends on what specific questions you ask."
Angel nodded with understanding. In other words, the wise master could answer more than Sicia, but he couldn't say anything about sensitive issues.
"What do you want to ask? The rise and fall of Naruo City?" The wise master looked at Angel.
Angel shook his head: "My first question has nothing to do with Naruo City, but with the wood spirit."
Angel lowered his head and looked at the cane: "The Wise Lord already knows that my mentor is Sanders, so I don't know if the Lord is willing to let me bring the wood spirit to see him. After all, I promised to bring the wood spirit out when I brought it out. Go meet my mentor."
The Wise Lord has actually considered this issue before.
But now he doesn't know whether he should agree to it, because Sanders's evaluation is polarized on his side.
To put it simply, the wise master believes that Sanders deserves recognition in terms of technology and innovation. However, his style is too harsh.
Black wizard and white wizard, this term and competition has suddenly appeared in recent years, but there is no difference for the ten thousand year old monster.
Whether a wizard was doing good or evil, he didn't care.
But the premise of all this is that it does not affect him.
As for the wood spirit, it was taught bit by bit by the wise master. Even if it has character flaws, it is still the most important inheritor for the wise master.
Since it is the inheritor, the wise master must consider whether it will be affected.
When hanging on the prison ladder, there is no one else, so the wise master can have nothing to worry about. But once the wood spirit leaves the underground waterway, it is very likely to be affected by external disturbances. Especially, Sanders is a ruthless person. Under his influence, what will the wood spirit become?
The wise master felt that the result was bleak just by thinking about it.
After all, he raised him, and he was not willing to let the wood spirit turn into a perverse and cruel character.
However, the wise master completely forgot at this time that the character flaws of the wood spirit made it basically impossible for it to develop in a vicious direction.
The wise master still prefers not to take the wood spirit out, but the wood spirit is following Angel now, and it seems not good for him to stop him.
When the wise man was in a dilemma, Angel seemed to see his dilemma and took the initiative to suggest:
"Otherwise, I won't take the wood spirit with me, and I'll find a way to get the instructor to come here?"
The wise master suddenly raised his head and said in a determined tone: "No need, just let the wood spirit follow you to see Sanders. After all, he is its former owner."
"By the way, there's no need to bother Sanders coming here...well, there's no place to receive him in the underground waterway."
