Although Doakes' 'bet' was slapped in the face, his words were not wrong.
Just like the first time they encountered the face pattern, as long as they agreed to participate in the game, they would be pulled into the contract; similarly, it is the same this time, if they really agreed to undergo qualification certification, then they would definitely
Will force entry into the contract.
Therefore, the "ignoring the human face tattoo statue" that Duo started doing before was indeed their only choice.
What I didn't expect was that this statue with a human face tattoo would be so reckless and actually dare to do it.
However, it’s better to take action.
They didn't dare to touch the human face statue because they were afraid of being dragged into the contract. But if the other party took the initiative, they didn't have to worry about it, they could just leave it alone.
"Do you think the human face sculpture is too reckless?" Doakes: "No, it's not reckless, it has its own purpose."
"Purpose?" Kael looked at Doakes in confusion.
Doakes: "I was a little surprised at first. Under normal circumstances, taking action would be asking for death. It shouldn't take action against us. However, when I broke the statue, I figured it out."
"It attacks us for two purposes."
"First, the space wizard behind it needs to finally get a definite answer: Do we know the specific terms of the contract?"
Although the other party used a small mole to test it at the beginning, I guessed that they might understand some of the conditions of the contract.
But at that time, they only showed that they knew the contract condition of "not actively attacking the little mole to avoid entering the contract".
And the human face pattern uses language to trick people into signing a contract. The other party is not sure whether they know this condition.
Therefore, the wizards behind the Paradise Game still have a "what if" attitude, and finally want to confirm their understanding of the contract.
In their view, this may be a bit unnecessary. But this is because they are the parties involved, so they naturally enter the information cocoon and look at the problem completely from their own perspective.
If you look at it from the perspective of the other party, all this is actually not completely clear. Even if a certain result occurs, how did the result occur? There is still a fog that needs to be cleared away.
Judging from the current situation, the other party must have preset two possibilities.
The first one is to speculate that they are aware of the contract, but only know part of the conditions of the contract. The reason why they pushed it all the way to this point is that Angel's spatial attainments are extremely high, so high that he can ignore all external factors, including facial patterns.
The second type is that they are very clear about all the conditions of the contract and know the significance of the human face pattern, so they deliberately avoid it.
In order to confirm which one they are, the wizard behind the Paradise game carefully arranged a human-faced statue here, just to make the final confirmation.
If they ignored facial prints like they did before, it would most likely be the second case.
But no matter how high the probability is, it cannot be completely certain after all. Therefore, the opponent has a second plan: to attack them with facial tattoo statues.
The human-mask statue is actually not very strong. Angel and Doakes discovered its spiritual arrow when it was first condensed.
According to the normal plot development, when they see the human-mask statue condensing mental power and arrows aimed at them, they are fully capable of breaking it in advance. Even if they don't break it, they can easily avoid the arrows.
But they chose an abnormal plot development: Doakes was hit by an arrow.
A small mental arrow should not have hit Doakes in any case, but it happened to. Then the answer is very clear, Doakes was hit by the arrow on his own initiative.
Why did they take the initiative to be hit by arrows? Because Doakes knew the logic of the 'contract' very well. Only when they were attacked could they fight back against the human-faced statue.
Now, the other party can confirm that they know all the terms of the contract.
"Clear information is the first purpose of the other party. However, the other party should have already guessed this purpose. It is just a final confirmation." Doakes: "The other party arranged the statue to attack us, and there is another bigger one.
the goal of."
"--curse."
Angel suddenly heard the word curse and was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to realize: "Curse? What do you mean..."
Doakes coughed dryly, and then said in an octave lower voice: "Yes, I am cursed."
The reason why Doakes was able to confirm that the human-faced statue was definitely not reckless in attacking them was because he was cursed when he smashed it.
Moreover, it is the kind of passively triggered curse.
As long as they didn't break the statue with a human face, even if they just attacked the statue, the curse would not be triggered; but Doakes broke the statue with a human face, and the curse was triggered.
"No hint of your inspiration?" Angel frowned.
Doakes shook his head: "No, that human-faced statue has an effect similar to counter-prophecy..."
Previously, when the other party possessed the little mole, they speculated that one of Doakes and Angel was a prophecy wizard and the other was a space wizard.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the other party arranged a human-faced statue with a counter-prophetic effect.
The only surprising thing is...
"My inspiration can actually be neutralized by the anti-prophecy effect. This is too unfair. Obviously my inspiration is not a prophecy..." Doakes murmured a little aggrievedly.
However, Angel was not too surprised that the "anti-prophecy arrangement" could overwhelm Dox's inspiration. After all, he was also someone who had refined anti-prophecy props.
Angel still has a certain understanding of "counter-prophecy".
The vast majority of anti-prophecy abilities are aimed at "time and space mapping". Prophecy is only one type of time and space mapping, and there are many other abilities that have the effect of "time and space mapping".
For example, the Eye of True Sight, the Eye of Truth, the Power Word Technique, and the Art of Breaking Illusions... actually all involve the reflection of time and space, and these are not the abilities of the prophecy system. But high-level anti-prophecy arrangements can also deal with these.
The spells are also shielded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, anti-prophecy is not just anti-prophecy, but also involves many related abilities.
Doakes' inspirational talent is not a prophecy, but it also involves a part of time and space mapping, so it is not surprising that it can be targeted.
Angel did not explain the truth about the "counter-prophecy". In the future, Doakes will always have a chance to obtain this knowledge as long as he goes to Magic Island or logs into the Wilderness of Dreams. Moreover, Angel originally planned to let Doakes
When Kes goes to contact Dodolo, Dodolo will also tell Dokes this knowledge.
"What curse?" Rather than wasting time explaining the counter-prophecy, Angel was more concerned about the curse in Doakes.
Doakes: "...blood curse."
Blood curse does not refer to a specific type of curse, but a type of curse.
All curses that use blood as a medium are called blood curses.
The blood curse ability can be high or low, and can limit the various abilities of the cursed person, or even directly curse him to death. However, a small statue with a human face pattern cannot carry the kind of blood curse that is enough to cause the death of a formal wizard.
Moreover, the powerful blood curse can be easily perceived. Neither Doakes nor Angel noticed the blood curse in the statue with human face pattern before. It is basically certain that the level of this blood curse will not be too high.
high.
Although the level of this blood curse is not high, the blood curse has one characteristic... it is very restrained in all blood-related abilities.
In other words, the blood curse restrains wizards from the bloodline side more than wizards from other departments.
If it was Angel who was hit by the blood curse, he would hardly be affected much, but if it was Doakes who was hit by the blood curse, the result would be different.
Angel: "What abilities does the blood curse limit on you?"
Facing Angel's inquiry, Doakes rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "The blood in my right hand is a little more stagnant than normal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Doakes added: "Overall, it doesn't have much impact. Moreover, the level of this blood curse is very low. Even if I don't actively kill it, it can only last for half a day at most. If it continues
Use energy to dispel the blood curse, and it should be solved in an hour... no, half an hour."
"Right hand." Angel stared at Doakes's slightly trembling right hand: "A bloodline wizard, without the support of his right hand, is equivalent to losing half of his combat power..."
Doakes: "No half, at most 5%..."
Angel stared at Doakes for a few seconds. Doakes tilted his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Or 10%."
Angel snorted lightly and did not comment much on this data.
When he said the combat power was reduced by half, he was indeed saying it was high; but when Doakes said it was reduced by 10%, he was also understating it.
As a wizard who relies on blood to fight, any part of his body affects the whole body. If one right hand is missing, the overall strength may be reduced by at least 20 to 30%.
Of course, even if it drops by 20 to 30%, Doakes' combat effectiveness is still stronger than most wizards. There is no need to deny this.
"Even if it is 10%, it is still a loss. After all, we are about to face a strong enemy." Angel looked at Doakes: "I have a way to quickly solve the curse on your right hand."
Doakes: "What can we do?"
Angel: "Sunlight Temple..."
After Doakes was silent for a few seconds, his eyes drifted to the other side: "Did someone talk just now? I've been a little deaf recently and couldn't hear anything."
The last time he used the Sunlight Temple, Doakes sold his freedom; if he used the Sunlight Temple again, wouldn't he be eaten dry and wiped clean even with his flesh and blood?
This is absolutely not possible!
