"Going up from here is the outermost layer of the underground waterway, and you can go directly to the ruins of the outside world."
The one who spoke was Dumu Dabao. It opened a hole in the ceiling above its head. A dark shadow came out of the hole and pointed into the hole: "I have just explored the surface and there is no one nearby. You can directly past."
Doakes' eyes widened: "You want us to get through your body?"
"Body?" Dabao was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly: "No, this is just a passage I opened. Only by going out through this passage can you not touch the underground magic energy array."
"But, isn't this your body." Doakes clearly remembered that the holes opened in the wall by the One-Eyed Family were all alive and belonged to the other party's body in the material world.
"No, it's not..." Dabao didn't know how to explain it at this time, because this channel did have the characteristics of his body, but its core had left the channel, so it shouldn't be considered a body. Isn’t the body supposed to have core and body in one?
Doakes: "Sure enough, this is your body, you big baby, I didn't expect you have a hobby of eating people."
Doakes looked unreasonable.
This Dabao was so anxious that he was speechless.
When Angel saw this scene, he sighed inwardly and said angrily: "Doakes, if you don't want to leave, just stay here. If you want to leave, it's best to shut up."
After speaking, Angel looked at Dabao: "Gengar, ignore him."
After a pause, Angel looked back at Kael and others: "Let's go first."
Regardless of Doakes being dumbfounded, Angel flew into the hole first...
Angel is now on his way out of the underground waterway. After he left the heart space, he immediately returned to the Hall of Wise Men.
At that time, facing everyone's excited or confused looks, Angel said nothing, directly stating that he had gained something from the alchemy process and was going to find a place to meditate.
Although Angel's words were a bit abrupt, considering that Angel had just refined what seemed to be a 'mysterious object' not long ago, no one was surprised.
Whether it is a mysterious thing or a semi-mysterious thing, after Angel refines it, he will definitely gain insights and gains. It is absolutely crucial to seize the time to settle down and fully utilize the acquired knowledge for your own use.
Therefore, even though everyone was full of curiosity about the props refined by Angel, they did not ask, but signaled Angel to do what he wanted.
In their minds, Angel would probably still meditate in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, but what they didn't expect was that Angel never thought of staying in the underground waterway.
He even said that his so-called precipitation was just a casual talk. His real purpose was to find an excuse to leave the underground waterway.
It's not that I hate underground waterways, or that I'm afraid of the wise ruler.
Purely because he will be in and out of the Mirror Realm for a long time and needs a place of absolute confidentiality. Although the Clear Sky Poetry Room is good, Angel cannot stay in the Clear Sky Poetry Room forever. After all, he did not come alone. No matter Doakes, Kael, Vai, or Black Earl, they all have their own things to do. You can't always let them follow you.
Of course, Angel can also let them leave first, but after they leave, especially if the Black Count returns to Noah with Adanis, the jurisdiction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room may also be taken away by the wise master.
By then, the Wise Lord will be able to monitor every part of the underground waterway at any time. Even if the Wise Lord has no ill intentions, Angel cannot stand such "precipitation".
Therefore, he must leave the underground waterway as soon as possible.
As for where to go, it’s not too late to tell later.
After Angel expressed his intention to leave, the Wise Lord did not stop him too much. There was a mantra book between them, so the Wise Lord was not worried about the intelligence here being exposed.
The only thing that made the wise master a little regretful was that he originally wanted to exchange alchemy experiences with Angel, but he had no choice.
Angel's reason was too high-sounding, and the wise master could not stop it.
However, what gave the wise master some comfort was that Angel gave a method of contact.
Ingres did not hide his relationship with Laplace. He said that because of his research on Sweet Dreams and subsequent alchemy, Laplace looked at him in a new light, had some in-depth exchanges, and established a friendly relationship.
If the wise master comes to him for something, he can ask Laplace to deliver the message on his behalf.
The wise master was not too surprised by this. After all, Laplace personally stopped Adanis when Angel was making alchemy. From this, we can see the friendly relationship between Laplace and Angel.
Although he is not surprised, the wise master's mood is still very complicated... Others do not know Laplace's identity, nor do they know Laplace's 'uniqueness' in the Sun Mirror Realm, but the wise master knows it very well. I originally thought that I was the only one who had the closest relationship with Laplace, but now Angel appears.
It's complicated, but the wise master is also a rational person. He knew very well that having Laplace befriend Angel would be a good thing for Laplace and himself in a macro sense.
Moreover, if the wise master is confident, Laplace will trust himself more. After all, he is also Laplace's savior. At this level alone, Angel cannot compare.
However, what the wise master didn't know was that Laplace recognized him as his benefactor, but after so many years, the favor had been repaid a lot. And it was basically impossible for him to bind Laplace by kindness alone.
The relationship between Laplace and Angel is completely different from that of the wise master. Angel is the only friend recognized by Laplace. It was also the first friend Laplace made on his own initiative.
In terms of the stability and resilience of friendship, the Wise Lord cannot compare to Angel.
Because there was a way to contact Angel, the wise master did not try to retain Angel too much. After he confirmed that he wanted to leave the underground waterway, he arranged for Dabao to lead everyone away.
…
After getting out of the hole opened by Dabao, everyone came to an empty underground square.
On the walls of the underground square, there are many fluorite lamps emitting light green light. Under the light, the square is not dim.
You can tell from the style of the wall lamp that this is definitely not the style of thousands of years ago. Moreover, the quality of fluorite is also very low, and it will generally break down after decades. If the fluorite is still shining at this time, you know that there should be routine maintenance here.
This is obviously not the work of a wise master.
It is estimated that it was done by explorers of the garden maze ruins or a traveling trade organization.
No matter who it is, if they can see the obvious artificial traces, they will know that they have come out of the underground water where the magic energy array is scattered.
"Go straight along this road and you will reach the exit. However, there is someone guarding the exit. If you don't want to be discovered, you can break through the ground and leave." Dabao's Gengar head poked out of the hole and said to everyone.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Seeing that no one spoke, Dabao left first.
After Dabao left, Angel looked at the stone slab in mid-air, which was the Black Earl.
He could feel that the Black Earl's mental power was transmitting some kind of message to the void.
"Lord Black Earl is contacting the main body?" Angel asked.
Black Earl: "What do you think?"
Angel: "..."
Seeing Angel's silence, the Black Earl smiled and said: "How about you take out the mysterious thing you refined and have a look, and I will tell you whether I have contacted the main body."
Angel: "It's not a mystery."
Black Earl: "I know, but half a step of mystery is almost the same as mystery."
Angel: ...Can this be called almost the same? It’s a lot different! One step makes a world of difference, the difference between a half-step of mystery and a true mystery.
Angel: "It's okay to show it to your Excellency. But are you sure you want to see it here?"
Although the Fuxinjing is not a truly mysterious thing, the mysterious aura about it cannot be faked. Now there is no underground magic energy array to help suppress it. Once it is taken out, the aura will definitely overflow.
It might attract the prying eyes of outsiders.
The Black Earl thought for a while and said, "Where do you plan to settle down next?"
Angel: "The real sedimentation must be done after returning to the Savage Cave. But now that I have the inspiration, I plan to find a secluded place nearby to settle down first."
Angel thought for a while and said, "Just the Bilon Tree Garden...or the Sandworm Market."
The Biron Tree Garden is located near the ruins of the Garden Maze, and is the nearest wizard's market. Although it’s not too big, it’s no problem to find a secluded place.
The Sandworm Market is in the Principality of Laxum. The reason why Angel mentioned this is because they all came from the Sandworm Market. Kael will definitely go back to the Sandworm Market, where his research den is; although Doakes decided to follow Ange Yes, but there is also a bar he runs in the Sandworm Market, so I still have to check it out. Moreover, Angel also gave Doakes a choice. Doakes could follow him back to the Savage Cave, or he could stay in the Sandworm Market.
Anyway, no matter what Doakes chooses, he has to go to the Sandworm Market.
"It's better to transform inspiration in time. Running around can easily cause inspiration to dissipate." At this time, Duo'er stuck on the side and said: "My suggestion is to go to Bilen Tree Garden first."
Angel shrugged indifferently: "Anything is fine."
Black Earl: "Since you are going to Biron Tree Garden, then wait until you find a place to settle down, and then let me see the mysterious thing you refined?"
Angel: "Won't Lord Black Earl rush back to the Noah family?"
Black Earl: "Don't worry, I still have something to do here."
Anyway, he has left the underground waterway. He can go back to the Noah family anytime he wants, and no one dares to try against him anyway.
Angel: "So, didn't Lord Black Earl contact the main body again just now?"
If it were the contact body, the Black Earl's clone would definitely not be able to show such leisureliness.
The Black Earl smiled and said: "I haven't contacted you yet. I plan to confirm the addresses of other Noah clan members before contacting the main body."
The so-called 'other Noahs' here are the Hollow Noahs who were thrown into the Sea of Empty Mirrors by Adanis to have their memories erased.
These hollow people were saved by the Wise Lord, and some of them are still alive today. The Black Earl plans to continue to contact the wise master in the near future. He will first delineate the locations of all these hollow people before contacting the main body.
And Angel chose to stay in Bilen Tree Garden, which also allowed the Black Earl to contact him nearby. He has not forgotten the promise he made to Angel... After leaving, he will communicate with Angel about the clone.
Angel: "No contact with the body? Then you were just..."
Black Earl: "I was contacting Adanis just now."
When the Black Earl said this, he paused and looked at Angel with doubtful eyes: "Speaking of which, do you know what happened to Adanis?"
Angel: "Huh?"
Black Earl: "After Adanis came back from the Clear Sky Poetry Room, she entered the mirror box. I can feel that she has not left, but no matter how I contact her, she doesn't reply."
"By the way, she came specifically to find you, but she disappeared when she came back. Could it be that you did something to her?"
Angel: "..."
Black Earl: "I mean, did you do something to her with a mysterious object?"
Angel: "I didn't do anything."
However, Angel knew why Adanis didn't reply. Probably, she was embarrassed to see him, so she silently pretended to be dead.
Angel couldn't explain this, so he could only shrug: "Perhaps Adanis has her own things to do. After all, she spends most of her time in the world inside the mirror, and the turmoil in the world outside the mirror is probably not that big. Too much attention.”
"Is that so?" The Black Earl muttered in a low voice. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refute it and could only put it aside for the time being.
Now that they had decided to meditate in the Biron Tree Garden for the time being, everyone left the underground square without any delay.
However, they did not follow the direction of the underground passage. Instead, they asked Vai to create an 'earth elevator' that broke through the earth and rocks and reached the ground.
After arriving on the ground, Vai used another earth wave to sense the surrounding situation.
"Hey, it's a bit strange... It's obviously noon, why is there no one within a kilometer around?" Through the feedback of the earth's fluctuations, Vai clearly sensed that there was no one within a kilometer.
Normally, there would be a large number of mortals hunting for treasures around the ruins of the Garden Maze.
Now, it was daytime, but there was no one there. This seems a bit strange to Vai.
"No need to be surprised. The Traveling Merchant Organization has determined a new underground passage. Coupled with the various encounters the Gray Merchant and his group encountered underground, the Traveling Merchant Organization must have countermeasures. The people nearby must have been evacuated. There is no one It's normal." Doakes put a hand on Vai's shoulder: "This is the most basic common sense. You, please don't stay in your fortune-telling shop every day in the future, and go out more often, otherwise it will really happen. Be stupid.”
Vai put aside Doakes' hand and said angrily: "You seem to know it very well, so tell me, where are the people from the traveling merchant organization now?"
Doakes stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, and said in deep thought: "I don't know where they are now. But I know that it won't be long before someone comes looking for us... maybe they are already on the way."
Vai's eyes widened: "Really?"
Doakes shrugged: "Intuition."
When others say 'intuition', Vai may hesitate, but when Doakes says 'intuition', it is basically the same as the truth.
At this time, the Black Earl floating in mid-air said calmly: "Doakes is right, they are already here. Moreover, there are more than one person here."
The Black Earl said so firmly, obviously not relying on intuition, but really feeling it.
Angel: "Is the gray merchant inside?"
Black Earl: "Yes."
Angel muttered in a low voice: "That's good."
After speaking, Angel turned to look at Doakes: "I still have something to do. You stay here and help me deliver this thing to the gray merchant."
Angel took out a cut crystal from the bracelet and handed it to Doakes. There was a black figure on the cross section of the crystal, which was the important memory that the gray merchant had lost.
Doakes looked at Angel in confusion: "You, are you planning to leave me?"
Angel: "I need to settle down immediately. I'll leave this to you."
Angel had already felt that Laplace's message appeared on the Fubo Heart Mirror, so he planned to withdraw first.
Doakes: "Why me?"
Angel patted him on the shoulder: "There is no reason. Don't you want me to help you refine the red sword? Maybe I will gain some insights this time."
Doakes originally had a dissatisfied look on his face, but when he heard Angel's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, no problem, leave it to me!"
Doakes pinched the crystal, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away.
Angel chuckled: "I'll wait for you at the Bilen Tree Garden."
After speaking, Angel directly summoned the Illusion Gate and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Angel suddenly turned to look at Doakes: "By the way, after meeting the gray merchant, you can give him a message for me..."
