In order to show solemnity, Angel took off his disguise and revealed his true face when introducing himself.
The blond hair is bright and the blue eyes are clear. Even if you don't look at the light texture of the skin, you can feel the strong youthful energy rushing towards your face. This is completely different from the decadent red-haired young man before.
Even though they seem to be about the same age, the decadent twilight is replaced by vitality, like the newborn sun, vigorous and enthusiastic.
This obvious sense of youth can be seen without even using magic to judge that Angel is definitely not old.
Angel's eyes looked around, and finally stopped on Orao, and began to introduce himself.
Although it was Adanis who introduced herself, and although Augustin was in charge of the scene, Angel still chose to look at Orao. The reason is not difficult to infer. Everyone else will eventually leave, and only Orao will follow Angel in the future; and whether Orao is willing to follow Angel at the moment or not, Angel must show that he values him. manner.
This is respect. Since he wants Orao to follow him and cooperate with him in his research work, he should lower his profile and tell Orao his identity and the skills he knows.
In particular, Angel made a emphatically introduction to "skills".
In the past, his introduction has always been "Savage Cave, Angel", or he has expanded on this sentence. For example, title, mentor, department, etc...
But this time, Angel also pointed out his other identity on this basis: "Alchemist, member of the Research and Development Institute."
After revealing this identity, Orao's pupils widened obviously. Obviously, he knew the importance of the R&D Institute.
After confirming that Orao knew something about the R&D Institute, Angel then elaborated on why he could become a member of the R&D Institute.
From his inadvertent contact with the mysterious level in Castle Black to everything that happened in Sky Mechanical City, Angel told it in detail.
There are many details here that even Black Earl and Doakes, who are always well-informed, have never heard of.
When Angel talked about these things, he looked calm and relaxed on the surface, but he was still slightly embarrassed in his heart. This is really a bit boastful and not in line with his character.
But in order to let Orao understand that he is capable and willing to refine mysterious things, these details still have to be revealed.
To put it bluntly, he just told Orao that it would not be a bad idea to follow him.
Of course, Angel does not intend to force Orao to stay. If Orao is really unwilling to follow him, or he has a better choice, Angel will let him leave.
This is a process of mutual choice, but it also needs to leave a way for each other to freely decide whether to stay or not.
Angel's introduction is not too long, as he said at the end: "Affected by my age and vision, I don't have much experience. The above is most of my experience. What I can say is Everything has been said, and most of the things that have not been said are unnecessary. As for the things that cannot be said, there are some, but many of them have nothing to do with today's affairs, so I will leave them for now."
After Angel finished introducing himself, the others were still in a trance, while Orao was lost in thought.
Orao did not expect that Angel would introduce himself to him so solemnly. Since Angel treated him seriously, Orao naturally needed to give a formal response, and this was a response in addition to Augustine's order.
Therefore, Orao needs to meditate and determine the true thoughts in his heart.
After everyone came back to their senses and saw Orao's thoughtful expression, they also fell silent. Orao was given ample time to think.
However, although they made no sound to disturb Orao, their meaningful eyes were flying around.
For example, Adanis's face and eyes at this time, when she was questioning Angel's identity, were extremely exciting. Originally, Adanis wanted to criticize Angel through questioning, so that Augustine and Orao would change their minds. But what she didn't expect was that Angel's introduction... was too targeted.
The entire introduction simply echoes Augustine’s “vision.”
It also hit Orao's inner wish: he missed and wanted to see his brother Adaigu very much, but he didn't want to meet Adaigu in such a downcast state, let alone be completely outcompeted by Adaigu.
Originally, Orao hoped that Augustin could "polite" himself, but Augustin made it clear that if he took action, he would only become Adeigu's second, but not Orao's first.
When Orao was in despair, Angel's introduction gave him a little hope.
Based on Adanis’ knowledge of Orao, she was almost certain that Orao would not reject Angel.
Even though there are many doubts about Angel, there is no explanation: for example, the origin of alchemy, how he can balance alchemy and strength at such a young age, and why the devil-eating flower is in awe of him...etc. .
But these doubts will only add to Angel's mystery, but will not affect Orao's judgment.
What's more, what if these are Angel's opportunities? Most people who can grow up to become official wizards have their own opportunities. Since it is an opportunity, it is normal not to say it.
Moreover, Angel himself said, "Things that cannot be said have nothing to do with today's affairs." It would be unreasonable to bother with him anymore.
It can be said that in Adanis's view, Angel's self-introduction began to lay bricks continuously when facing Orao, and now it has become a high wall. It is difficult for Adanis to find an opening to attack.
That's why Adanis' expression is so complicated and 'wonderful'. She felt that she was trapped in a cocoon. Not only did she not stop Angel, she also became his assist. This made her feel very guilty.
In addition to Adanis, Augustine's eyes are also worth paying attention to.
Augustine had said before that he didn't care about Angel's identity, but when Angel finished introducing himself, Augustine couldn't help but nod his head.
Angel's style has the spirit of a young man, but also a kind of "etiquette" that is difficult to explain clearly.
This kind of "etiquette" also includes openness, freedom, tolerance, respect and self-control... and maybe more.
Many of these seem to be contradictions, but in Angel's case, they are combined very well without any sense of dissonance.
It sounds like nothing, but it is actually a kind of cultivation that requires a soil for cultivation and growth. And the soil that can allow this kind of ritual to grow and bear fruit is actually very rare in the panplane.
This kind of demeanor is more like that of an old man who understands right and wrong after many years.
But Angel's youthful spirit is so vigorous. It should be contradictory, but in fact it is very harmonious. That's why Angel seems so special.
What Augustine cares about is not Angel's ability. He already knows that Angel has this ability, so he just listens to his introduction. What he cares more about is Angel's code of conduct, saying To put it bluntly, it is the view of pattern, values and cognition.
It now seems that apart from Angel's view of structure, which has not been fully developed due to his lack of experience, his values and cognitive views have far exceeded Augustine's expectations.
As far as Augustine was concerned, Angel became more and more satisfied with it.
He is already looking forward to the future when Olaao and Adaigu will truly become twin mirrors worthy of the name, illuminating the boundless void and shining brightly on their past and future.
On the other side, Kael and others were also looking at Angel.
However, Kael and Vai looked at Angel with admiration. They might know some general information about Angel, but they were still unfamiliar with such detailed information coming from Angel himself. heard once.
He was exposed to mystery during his apprenticeship, and he dared to face the cruel Isabella. He even brought Isabelle, the genius witch from Castle Black, back to the source of the Southern Territory.
These kinds of deeds are simply things that apprentices like them would never dare to think about, and they can be regarded as role models for apprentices.
Vai himself is a little fan of Angel, and now he sees Angel through a heavier filter. Kael is slowly developing in the direction of Vai...
But Doakes looked at Angel in a different way.
He felt that he had been tricked by Angel and boarded Angel's pirate ship. But now he found out that even a big man like Augustin was trying to send Orao to Angel, and he suddenly regained his psychological balance.
He was recruited by Angel on his own initiative!
And Orao was forced to do so!
Sure enough, I am still more important!
When Doakes was thinking this, he never thought that Angel was trying to recruit him. But the reason was that Doakes had to sell himself to repay the debt because he couldn't pay it back. As for Orao, he was forced by Augustin at the beginning, but Angel took the initiative later. If we really want to compare, Doakes is still less important than Orao in Angel's heart. .
But Angel would definitely not say such a thing. Just let Doakes continue to indulge in his own world and everything will be fine.
As for the Black Earl...you can see something from the two nostrils! However, from the perspective of emotional perception, Angel confirmed that the Black Earl seemed to be in a complicated mood.
Angel could probably guess the reason.
The Legacy Land, or the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber, is the ancestral land of the Noah family. In the Black Earl's view, even if they cannot return as "masters", they should at least be taken seriously.
But the reality is completely opposite to what was imagined. It’s not surprising that Adanis is targeting them; it’s barely surprising that Orao values Angel; but even their ancestor Augustine only sets his sights on them. As for Angel, this made the Black Earl's mood a little complicated.
I feel both disappointed and helpless.
However, the Black Earl can also think clearly, and at least one thing is certain now: his path forward may not be in the Evil God Demon Abyss, but in the Source World.
Augustine also made it clear that only by going to the source world and finding another Noah race can the Black Earl's potential be maximized.
And this is huge news for the Black Earl.
A clear path forward is the answer they, the wizards who stand at the pinnacle of the Southern Territory, want most.
Like Meng Qi, he just didn't know the way forward and just messed around. In the end, he got nothing and suffered a big loss.
The Black Earl now has a future, which means there is hope of becoming a legend.
However, the biggest problem facing the Black Earl now is...how to get to the source world?
If we were to walk through the void, the distance between space and time would be so great that we would break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it, let alone actually walking there. It won't take more than a few hundred years, so don't even think about it.
And wasting hundreds of years in vain is really not cost-effective in the eyes of the Black Earl. Therefore, if possible, he hoped to take this opportunity to ask Augustine if there was a shortcut to the source world.
But this will have to wait until the exchange between Angel and Augustine is over...
…
Because of the flying eyes, the silence in the air does not seem dull.
Two minutes later, the silence was broken by Orao. This also means that Orao's meditation has ended, and he may already have the answer in his heart.
"To be valued by the master already shows the ability of the poet. And even if you only have a glimpse of the poet's experience, you can see the huge potential behind it. And these are obvious to everyone. I believe that even Adani Si, you must have the same idea as me."
Orao glanced at Adanis, who tilted her head and remained silent. But Orao knew Adanis, and her failure to refute meant acquiescence.
"So, I won't say much about praise. I'll just tell you what I think."
Orao looked solemn, just like when Angel introduced himself to him before, he was so solemn.
"Compared to the uncertain future described by the poet, I actually still hope to follow the master." Orao turned to look at the alchemy puppet: "If the master is willing."
The alchemy puppet said calmly: "I can't take you away, and you can't find me. The place where I am is far away from here, and also far away from the source world."
Although the alchemy puppet did not clearly answer "willing or unwilling", the meaning of this sentence was already clear. He could not take Orao with him.
Orao lowered his head in disappointment. Although he guessed the master's answer, he was unwilling to give up just like this after waiting for thousands of years.
Although the alchemy puppet has a heart of stone, Augustine attached to the alchemy puppet has feelings. Seeing Orao's depressed look, Augustine also felt a little uncomfortable and guilty.
Ten thousand years... is too long.
Although Orao always said that Adanis has obsessions, isn't he himself obsessed with obsessions?
Augustine pondered for a moment and said: "I can tell you that the place I am going to is the place I have to go. That is the starting point of the path of truth I pursue, and it may not necessarily be the light of miracles." A corner that can shine.”
“It’s dangerous out there, but it’s also full of opportunity.”
"I went alone, without telling any of my friends, or even from my beloved Margaret."
"The only one who knows where I am going is your brother Adaigu. I didn't tell Adaigu on my own initiative, but because Adaigu has my aura on him, he can determine my location. And Adaigu was also I stayed in the source world."
"If I had not found the starting point of the truth I am pursuing, I might not come back for thousands or ten thousand years."
At this point, Orao looked up at the alchemy puppet: "So, is this the reason why the master handed me over to the Poet Singer?"
The alchemy puppet shook his head: "Not entirely. Do you still remember my vision?"
Orao nodded. Augustine hoped that Adaigu and Orao would stand at the same peak and truly be called "twin" mirrors.
"On the road to pursuing the truth, I will most likely get lost there, or even completely lose myself there. And when that time comes, maybe you and Adaigu are the only ones who can wake me up or even save me."
“And all of this is based on the realization of my vision.”
"And now I see that the only person who can realize my vision is the poet."
Therefore, Augustine hopes that Orao will follow Angel, not only for Orao, but also for himself.
Only when Adaigu and Orao truly become "twin mirrors", may there be a way to wake him up from his confusion across a long distance.
All of this is Augustine's preparation for his future.
Orao was also stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a reason...
"If that's the case, I'd like to follow Mr. Poem Singer."
"I was reluctant to say the reason before because I didn't want you to follow the Poet Reciter for this reason. In my opinion, the Poet Reciter is not your stepping stone. I hope he is your destination." The alchemy puppet looked at Ao Rao: "The poet once said something before. He said that if you encounter a better choice, he will not force you to stay."
"If you keep thinking about the reasons I mentioned and follow the poet's words, then I can only wish you that you will find a better choice as soon as possible."
Augustine means that if Orao follows the poet because of himself, then don't harm Angel.
"The better choice you think" also means that Augustin does not think Orao can find a better choice than Angel.
This may be Augustine's sincere words, or it may be his plan. While "beating Orao to show Angel", he praised Angel's uniqueness, just to make him not treat Orao harshly.
But no matter what, Angel never wavered in his heart.
No matter what reason Orao follows him, he will take Orao seriously. Because the secret of Orao is very likely to carry Angel's dream - to send Jon home.
But if Orao follows Angel sincerely, Angel will also be sincere in return. If it was just to save Augustine for the future, Angel wouldn't care, just treat him as a tool man by his side.
Just like Doakes, Angel currently only treats Doakes as a tool.
What does the future hold? The future will tell.
