The Hall of the Wise.
The wise master was standing next to the core node of the magic energy array, frowning as he looked at the flickering nodes.
Not long ago, the wise master sensed a large hole in the feedback from the magic energy array.
The so-called void is another kind of space quality that is completely different from the current nature of space. It can be understood that the stable space has been disturbed by another space force, forming an uncontrolled area.
According to normal circumstances, once such a huge hole appears, the magic energy array will inevitably backfire and may even collapse. But the magic energy array is still running continuously, and there is no abnormality, which means... this hole is recognized by the magic energy array.
The wise master knows very well that in that area, there is only one space hole that will be recognized by the magic energy array: the mirror domain channel.
Adanis controls the magic energy array near the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber. With her accomplishments in the magic energy array, it is not difficult to get the nearby magic energy array to admit that the mirror realm has invaded reality.
Therefore, from the scope and invasion speed of this hollow, the Wise Lord can basically judge that Adanis has taken action.
Even though the wise master couldn't see the situation of Angel and others, just judging from the empty position, one could know that Adanis's attack was very ruthless and precise.
Adanis directly outflanked Angel and others.
The hole covered two areas, and happened to block Angel and others in a passage with no branching roads.
Can't move forward, can't go back.
Seeing this scene, the wise master sighed deeply, and he was already ready to take action.
The wise master had already weighed it before. Angel and Earl Black must not die here, or in other words, die under his eyes.
With the background of these two people, it is very likely that it will bring a greater crisis to the already broken Naraku City.
Therefore, the wise master chose to cooperate and decided to lend a hand to help them when they were in trouble.
However, what the wise master did not expect was that the "variable" he was optimistic about would be surrounded and suppressed by Adanis before he even arrived at the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber.
"Perhaps, fortune really is not at this moment, nor is it on my side." After the wise master sighed, he was ready to lend a helping hand at the right moment.
Although the wise master wants to save Angel and his party, he can't do it now. If you want Angel and others to deeply understand the grace of "saving lives", it is best to lend a helping hand at the most critical moment, when they are most desperate.
Therefore, the wise master is still waiting, waiting until the holes on both sides are about to close, and waiting until they have nowhere to escape, before taking action.
However, what the wise master did not expect was that before the holes on both sides could be closed, something happened on the scene.
He felt a long-lost aura suddenly descending into the hollow.
As he descended, the surrounding void began to slowly fade away. In less than two minutes, the empty area returned to normal.
Before the wise master took action, Angel and others resolved the crisis and were on the road again.
The wise master doesn't care about Angel, as long as they are safe and sound, it doesn't matter. What he cares about is that "that person" has actually arrived! For Angel and others, the man who had not been seen for ten thousand years finally showed up!
"Oraao..." The wise master whispered his name.
Orao's appearance was completely unexpected by the wise master. He had imagined that Angel and others would have other ways to escape without his rescue; however, he never imagined that when Angel and others were in dire straits, Orao would appear to rescue them!
The wise master had previously speculated whether Orao was related to Angel and others. Under the witness of the mantra book, he got a negative answer.
The wise master believed in the judgment of the mantra book, and Angel and others did not have any contact with Orao.
But what is going on now?
Why does Orao appear?
If Orao is for the Noah family, then why did Orao completely turn a blind eye when the Noah people arrived?
Who among this group of people is the key to Orao's appearance?
A figure appeared in the mind of the wise master involuntarily.
——Angel.
He had a hunch that Angel, the "variable", was not only being observed and used by himself, but Orao might also have noticed it...
…
On the other side, in a dark room in the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
After a few minutes of darkness, there was a sudden "ding" sound, and the candles on both sides of the room suddenly lit up with fire.
The wall candles could only illuminate the walls on both sides of the room, and the center of the room was still dark.
However, in the areas illuminated by the candles on both sides, two oil paintings can be seen facing each other.
Each of the oil paintings depicts a character. On one side is a man wearing a high-horned felt hat, and on the other side is an elegant blond girl with a shawl sitting on a chair.
At first glance, these two oil paintings seemed to be just oil paintings, until... the person in the oil painting suddenly opened his mouth.
"Orao, are you still unwilling to tell the reason?" The blonde girl raised her eyebrows and stared at the man in the oil painting opposite through the dark barrier.
The man in the oil painting is none other than Orao, who appeared for Angel and others before. He was originally posing reservedly in the oil painting. When he heard Adanis' inquiry, he drooped his shoulders in frustration, tilted his head and leaned against the frame, and said feebly: "Didn't I say, if they can come? , I will definitely say it. If they can’t come, it’s useless to say it.”
The blonde, Adanis, said calmly: "They can't come."
Orao: "If they can't come, then just pretend it didn't happen."
Adanis: "What about the explanation I want?"
Orao: "You can't come, and you still have to explain? Don't look at me like that. I'm your senior after all."
Adanis raised her eyebrows, a faint red light appearing in her eyes.
Seeing the red eyes, Orao immediately gave up: "Okay, okay, if they can't come, I will give you an explanation."
Only then did Adanis lower her eyebrows in satisfaction.
After receiving Orao's promise, the air fell into silence. The two people in the oil painting once again entered into the awkward situation of looking at each other speechlessly.
After several minutes of silence, Orao leaned half out of the frame.
Adanis: "Where are you going?"
"You have to control where I go?" Orao muttered dissatisfied: "Didn't I care when you went out before?"
Adanis: "That's because you are incapable of taking care of it."
Orao was choked for words. Indeed, he was unable to control Adanis, or in other words, he was unable to control Adanis. All his abilities were dissipated in that accident. In the first few years, Orao was in desperate situations many times, and it was the younger generation he brought up himself, Adanis, who gave him the energy to support him.
Orao has softened slightly in recent years, but compared to Adanis, he is still much worse.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber is his ability fetter. Once he leaves here, his abilities will only continue to decline.
Therefore, let alone controlling Adanis, just leaving the Clear Sky Poetry Room would consume most of his energy.
"...I'm just going to wait at the door. Maybe they have a chance to come?" Orao hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully.
Adanis also leaned out of the oil painting, jumped lightly, and landed lightly on the ground.
Twisting the hair around her ears, Adanis raised her eyes and said, "Your expectations for them exceed those of all the Noah tribe members in the past."
Orao: "Don't talk to me. I said that if they can't come, I will explain to you. Now, I don't want to say it."
Adanis: "If you don't say it now, do you think that once you say it, I will definitely stop them?"
Orao shook his head: "No, I understand your character, you will not do this. Even if you are a member of the Noah tribe who failed the test, you have never taken their lives."
Adanis: "Are you indirectly admitting that once you tell the secret, I might stop them?"
This time, Adanis changed her word, not "certainly", but "possibly".
Orao sighed and said helplessly: "Even if I didn't say anything, wouldn't you still have stopped them? Moreover, Nian also used that alien infant spirit. You clearly know how terrifying it is... Sigh , forget it, let the infant spirit be released, this is also a test in itself. It is not only a test for them, but also a test for you and me."
"If they can really get through the infant spirit level, I hope you won't stop them anymore...and don't stop me anymore."
Adanis was silent for a moment and gave no answer.
Orao shook his head and said angrily: "You have even released the infant spirits from other worlds, and you are still not willing to let them go?"
"If you think about it from another perspective, if they can even deal with infant spirits from other worlds, you can't do anything with them."
Adanis: "There's no way they can deal with that infant spirit."
Orao: "Then it's over. Ying Ling is an uncrowned trump card. If they can still come after this trump card is revealed, it's their destiny."
Adanis still didn't make any statement this time. She just stared at Orao quietly. After a while, she asked softly: "What would you do if they came?"
Orao was stunned for a moment, then joked: "What's wrong? Are you no longer confident about that alien infant spirit of unknown origin?"
Adanis flipped her ears and hair, and then rolled her eyes at Orao gracefully.
Orao smiled, his eyebrows were steady, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "If it really comes, then... I will stand on their side."
Adanis: "Then what? On their side, what's next?"
Orao: "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Adanis frowned. Don't you know you are still so determined?
Orao shrugged: "I really don't know. However, I believe that fate will make arrangements."
"Destiny?" Adanis sneered and said nothing more.
Orao didn't care, and just said with a smile: "This is the first time in so many years that I am so excited, and the first time I have such expectations. Even though I don't think the chance is high, are you willing to let my expectations fail?"
Adanis hummed softly: "Why are you reluctant?"
Orao's face dropped and he said distressedly: "Oh, you were so cute when you were a kid. Why do you become more rebellious as you get older? Oh my, if Mr. Augustine comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely feel I didn’t teach you well.”
Adanis: "He's not coming back."
Orao: "No matter whether Lord Augustine comes back or not, what I want to express is that you have to be good."
After finishing speaking, Orao tried to reach out his hand and rub Adanis' hair like he did when she was a child. But Adanis stepped back and ducked.
Orao retracted his hand in embarrassment, and while remembering Adanis from the past, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Adanis looked at Orao's back, her eyes always sharp, showing confusion for the first time.
The problems she didn't want to touch, the future she didn't want to think about, and the possibilities she didn't want to face suddenly all came to her mind.
Adanis wanted to put these troublesome thoughts aside, but as soon as her attention was diverted, she felt as if there was a voice echoing in her ears again.
——This is the first time in so many years that I have such expectations. Are you willing to let my expectations fail?
Ask yourself, is she willing to let it go?
Adanis already had the answer in her mind, but she didn't want to show it.
"Have I really gone too far?"
As soon as reflection came to mind, obsession followed closely.
"No! Everything I did was right. It was all for Qingkong Poetry Chamber and for Orao!"
She really didn't want to see Orao's disappointed expression, but she also didn't want to change the status quo, let alone... separate from Orao.
Adanis closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, the hesitation in her eyes had disappeared, and she regained her indifference.
But this indifference did not last long and was replaced by shock.
She turned back sharply and looked towards the entrance of Qingkong Poetry Room...
…
After Angel and his party determined that the smell came from the magic food flower, they continued on their way.
Perhaps because they knew they were about to face a "war", everyone was silent along the way, except for Doakes who was eager to try. However, even Doakes did not break the silence.
Until they passed a corner and saw a collapsed small square, Angel suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" The Black Earl looked at Angel with his nostrils.
Angel shook his head: "Nothing, keep going."
Angel did not explain, but followed the pace of everyone again and walked towards the southeast of the small square. The only passage here was in this direction.
As he walked, Angel observed the square. When he passed the center of the square, Angel looked up.
There are many craters above, and you can tell at a glance that they are traces of collapse.
Looking at the uneven top surface, Angel sighed silently in his heart.
——I visited my old place again, but it had a completely different look.
Back when he was not a transcendent person, but just an ordinary gifted person, he came to the nightmare world for the first time, and the first place he started was here.
At that time, he was surrounded by an intact corridor resting area.
Looking up, you can see the sewer leading directly to the dark sky outside.
There were two Flying Skull Demons floating beside him.
In the alleyway in the distance, there is a path of fiery red flowers.
Even though the nightmare world at that time was full of weird atmosphere, Angel was still feeling uneasy... But at least at that time, Angel saw the vibrant side of this place.
But now, everything is both familiar and strange.
There is no access, just ruins. There is no vitality, only a heavy twilight atmosphere.
Faced with such a scene, even if Angel was not a witness, he still had a sense of dislocation that people were right and things were wrong.
