Angel was not unfamiliar with the "respectable appearance" of the person in front of him. In the source of flow in the barbaric cave, there would often be wizards who had problems with their research and experiments, causing big explosions. When they appeared, most of them would
Similar to the person in front of me.
If this person is Kael, it seems that their previous guesses were not wrong, Kael was indeed conducting experiments. But now it seems that the results of his experiments are probably worrying.
The man with a dirty face in front of him looked around with a dull look. Finally, he fixed on Doakes: "Sir Doakes, why are you here? Was the space node touched by the lord just now?"
Doakes did not answer immediately, but asked with concern in his eyes: "Kael, are you okay?"
Kael shook his head: "It's okay. It's just that when I was making improvements to the casting materials, a small accident happened. A laboratory was blown up, but it doesn't matter. There are still more than ten laboratories below for me to prepare for."
Kael's nonchalant attitude, coupled with the content of his words, whether it is Angel or Doakes, it is basically certain that this person is a research maniac, and the kind of person who insists on knowing that there is a high probability of problems in the experiment.
The kind of madman who does research. Otherwise, who would have more than ten laboratories as candidates...
Seeing Kael's indifferent attitude, Doakes hesitated to speak. He really wanted to remind Kael as a senior, but Kael also had an extremely powerful mentor, and maybe everything he did would be in vain.
Under the guidance of his instructor, after thinking for a while, Doakes finally suppressed his words: "Remember to be careful when doing experiments, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong."
"I will be careful." Kael nodded, his tone considered sincere.
After a pause, Kael asked curiously: "Why did Master Doakes come to my place? Is there something wrong with the space node at the bar?"
Doakes shook his head and pointed to Angel beside him: "I'm not looking for you, it's him, Wizard Lyon, who's looking for you."
Leon Wizard? Kael actually noticed Angel as soon as he came out. There are only three people here. Excluding him, Angel’s presence is not low at all. It’s just that Angel has been standing aside politely without saying anything.
, Kael ignored him for the time being. But now Doakes said that this wizard came to him, which made Kael a little suspicious. He had never heard of a wizard named Leon.
Kael was secretly observing Angel, and so was Angel. After Kael came out, Angel noticed many details, such as his expression, look, and the casual relationship between him and Doakes.
Basically, Angel can confirm that Kael is an academic wizard apprentice who is persistent in experiments and confident in his space technology. He has a close relationship with Doakes.
It’s no wonder that Doakes would take the initiative to guide Angel, because he had a close relationship with Kael. He was obviously worried that Angel would be unfavorable to Kael, and having him there would at least provide a guarantee.
"Wizard Lyon, what do you want from me?" Kael asked doubtfully.
Angel didn't explain anything, he took out the letter from Aesos and handed it to Kael.
"You'll know after reading it."
Kael was a little wary at first. He glanced at Doakes out of the corner of his eye. When Doakes nodded slightly to him, he accepted the letter.
When he saw the writing on the envelope and the familiar space logo on the envelope, Kael's eyes immediately lit up.
This is a letter from Master Aesop!
After confirming that it was correct, Kael raised his head and looked at Angel with doubtful eyes: "This is a letter from the mentor. How come it is in the hands of Wizard Lyon?"
Angel stroked his eyebrows: "I just said it, you will know after you open it and look at it. I think Mr. Essos will mention me in the letter."
Kael: "Is that so?"
Angel raised his eyebrows and was too lazy to answer.
Kael hesitated for a moment while holding the letter, and then said to Angel: "I can't open the letter right now. If Wizard Lyon is not in a hurry, you might as well come to my place and sit for a while."
After Kael finished speaking, he turned to look at Doakes: "Sir Doakes, too?"
Doakes naturally would not refuse, but he was a little curious: "Why don't you open the letter now?"
Kael sighed, exposed the back of the envelope, and injected some slight space power into it. With the introduction of space power, the logo left by Aesos began to shine. At the same time, a three-dimensional
The node appears in front of them.
Kael pointed to this three-dimensional node and said: "This is an unsolved space formula problem. Every time my tutor sends a letter to me, he will leave a question on the letter, also to check whether I have regressed. I must solve it.
Only by opening this formula can the letter be opened."
Angel and Doakes both looked enlightened. No wonder Kael didn't open the letter before. It turns out there is such a story.
Doakes: "What happens if you open the letter without solving the formula?"
Kael: "Nothing will happen. The questions left by the tutor are just to check my learning status. They are not mandatory. You can open the letter without solving the questions."
Angel: "..."
Angel: "Then you can actually open the letter first and then decipher it."
Kael immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, this is a matter of principle. I have my own set of rules. I must solve the problem before I am qualified to read the letter given to me by the instructor."
When Kael mentioned the so-called "qualifications", his eyes lit up.
Angel read another message from here. It seemed that Kael was still a mentor and was full of worship for Aesos. This worship even affected his code of conduct.
Angel sighed. Kael had already talked about it to this point. They were not tit-for-tat enemies. Angel could only compromise. Moreover, he also saw the three-dimensional space node. The question was very subtle but not
It’s difficult to calculate. Since Kael can arrange these true and false space nodes in this big pit, it should be possible to solve it... right?
Seeing that Angel and Doakes had no objections, Kael immediately enthusiastically invited them to his "home".
It's said to be a home, but it's actually a deeper cave.
This cave is like an alley, not spacious, but there are occasional doors on both sides. As Kael walked, he introduced: "This is my first laboratory. It is used for... This is the first laboratory."
Laboratory Two…This is Laboratory Three…”
Behind all the doors in the alley are Kael's laboratories, sixteen in total.
Among them, the eighth laboratory has collapsed. From the heat coming from inside, we can tell that this is probably the laboratory that Kael blew up before.
"Don't worry about these bombed laboratories, I will repair them. In fact, most of the laboratories here have been bombed, and not all of them are in good condition now." Kael said this, feeling quite proud.
This left both Angel and Doakes speechless. It seemed that in Kael's opinion, being able to blow up the laboratory meant that he was very hardworking and powerful...
Kael did not bring Angel and Doakes to the laboratory, but walked to the end of the cave, where there was a cave.
Kael jumped directly without any explanation.
Angel and Doakes looked at each other and jumped down too.
The cave was quite deep, at least about 20 meters high. When Angel landed, he looked up and realized that it was a deeper cave with quite a large space.
Moreover, there are very obvious traces of artificial excavation here, and there are some relatively complete but still broken magic energy arrays above the head.
When Angel came to the black market before, he guessed that this place might have been an underground palace-like ruins.
When he came here, Angel was basically sure that this was a ruin. Moreover, judging from the scale of the magic energy array, this ruin was quite large.
Kael also saw Angel's gaze: "I guess you have guessed that this is actually a ruins."
Kael: "It is said to be the underground palace of a legendary wizard more than 6,000 years ago... Don't be so surprised. This is just a rumor. Who knows the truth about such ancient things? Moreover, more than 90% of this ruins have already been
It was developed by the Lawrence family, and all the good things were taken away. Otherwise, how could the Lawrence family open a black market here?"
This is not the first time Angel has heard about the Lawrence family. When he came to the Sandworm Market before, he heard from the people of the Camel Bell Team that all the Camel Bell Teams belong to the Lawrence family. The various regulations of the Sandworm Market are also
It was formulated by the Lawrence family. In Angel's opinion, the Lawrence family is probably the actual controller behind the Sandworm Market.
As the controllers of the Sandworm Market, they also open a Sandworm Street inside the market and a black market outside. The Lawrence family has a big appetite and wants to eat both black and white. I think it’s because no other wizard family here can.
Compete with him, otherwise how can you be able to cover the sky with one hand like this?
"I'm going to solve the puzzle on the envelope now. Just wait a moment. With my strength, I will be able to solve it soon." Kael said very confidently.
After finishing speaking, Kael came to the desk beside him and began to pick up the paper and write quickly.
Yes, desk.
Although this is a corner of the ruins, Kael has completely regarded it as his base and decorated it with a lot of furniture. Although it is not magnificent, it can at least be used as a place to receive people and entertain guests.
Seeing that Kael didn't treat them as outsiders at all and started solving the problem directly, Angel and Doakes looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Doakes: "How about we communicate?"
Angel thought for a while, it was okay for the time being anyway, so we could just communicate. The fact that Doakes has the title of "Red Sword" means that he should be good at using swords. The weapon used by his brother Leon is a knight's sword. Let's communicate.
Maybe it will be useful to my brother.
Angel nodded, and the two of them came to a place far away from the desk and sat opposite each other.
There are also some unspoken rules for communication between wizards. There are different procedures between strange wizards, wizards you know, and wizards you are familiar with.
What they followed was naturally the communication between strange wizards. This kind of communication started with testing from the simplest foundation.
Once you find common ground that you both recognize and are interested in, you can have in-depth communication.
Angel's goal was clear. He was very interested in Doakes's swordsmanship, so the topic was directed in this direction.
Although Angel doesn't have too profound swordsmanship, he has also seen the scene where Knight Sabel teaches Leon. Although the content of the conversation is not profound, Doakes can feel that Angel has knowledge of swordsmanship.
Interested.
An old monster who had lived for hundreds of years asked him, a young man who was only eighty years old, to learn swordsmanship. This made Doakes swell again.
With this expansion, one begins to become a teacher.
What he talked about was not any special secrets, but started from the theory. For example, pure swordsmanship is basically useless against extraordinary people, but swordsmanship that can threaten extraordinary people, or even formal wizards, must have other motivations.
Either it is the blessing of blood or the blessing of magic power.
How to maximize this blessing is also the key to what Doakes said. Doakes even revealed some of his tips.
These contents are quite inspiring to Angel. Since Angel himself feels that he has gained something, I believe that if he records these words into an illusion and gives them to his brother Leon, he should gain even more. After all, this
But it came from a wizard’s personal guidance.
But Doakes didn't know that Angel, who was listening carefully and serious in front of him, was thinking about how to steal and transcribe...
Doakes also talked about some useful information and techniques. As for communication, it must be communicated to achieve success. Angel is not good at saying nothing.
He also talked about some of his spiritual practice experiences.
For example, things to pay attention to during practice, some key breakthroughs and taboos during the bottleneck period... These contents are actually not big secrets in the wizard organization. As long as you have enough level and have enough contribution points in the bone card,
You can change it from the cloud library.
But Doakes is a wandering wizard, and may have received some relatively complete inheritance, but these details are what he lacks. Naturally, he listened very carefully, and wished that Angel would talk more.
This exchange lasted for most of the day. Because of Angel's "treating each other with sincerity", Doakes also revealed some sword-wielding skills, and both parties gained a lot.
During the communication process, they also looked in Kael's direction from time to time.
Angel noticed that Kael went from being full of confidence at the beginning, to a solemn expression later, and then to a gloomy look now... It seems that Kael was trapped by Aesop's question.
.
The hair on his head, which was already frizzy, was even messier after being scratched by Kael.
"Can he finish it today?" Doakes also noticed the change in Kael's expression.
Angel did not answer immediately, but instead used his mental strength to observe Kael's solution to the problem from a condescending perspective.
This kind of behavior is actually quite bad, and it is suspected of peeping into knowledge. However, Dox has just finished communicating with Angel and has benefited a lot, so he is embarrassed to say anything. As for Kael, he is completely caught up in the topic and does not care at all.
Know what's going on in the outside world.
After reading Kael's ideas for solving the problem, Angel withdrew his mental power and said to Doakes: "He has fallen into multiple traps left by Mr. Aesos. Looking at the direction in which he solved the problem, he also understands
Those who have fallen into a trap are now looking back to find where they fell into the trap."
"However, even if we go back to the place where we fell into the trap, it is impossible to completely avoid the trap."
Doakes said blankly: "Why?"
Angel: "Because the only exit is hidden in a trap."
Doakes asked in surprise: "Can you unlock the space node left by Mr. Isos?"
Angel pondered for a moment: "I understand a little bit."
Obviously, Angel admitted it in disguise.
Doakes had known before that Angel was very knowledgeable about the space system, but he didn't expect that he could even solve the problems left by Issos. You know, Kael is already the peak apprentice of the space system, and he is still
I didn’t understand it yet, but Angel saw the answer after just looking at it for a few seconds. This gap is self-evident.
"Are you sure you're not a space wizard?" Doakes couldn't help but ask for the second time.
Angel said helplessly: "I'm sure."
Doakes really wants to believe Angel's words, but Angel's space background is too strong. Even if he practices across disciplines, he is almost at the level of a formal wizard!
Could this be the difference between wizards with wizard organizations and wandering wizards?
No, it’s not like Doakes has never fought with wizards from those wizard organizations, and he also knows their level... Maybe Angel is just a special case, or he is an academic!
Yes, it must be an academic. Only academics like to study every day.
Doakes once again raised his evaluation of Angel, and at the same time, he also raised his lifespan. It would take at least a thousand years for him to practice cross-system training to reach this point in the space system.
Although he lost to Angel in terms of knowledge, Angel is an old academic monster who has accumulated time. He is an eighty-year-old genius. In terms of combat power, there is no telling who will win.
As for talent, I am definitely better!
Thinking of this, Doakes felt that his heart was complete again, and Angel became more pleasing to the eye.
After Doakes solved the knot in his heart, he felt refreshed and asked with a smile: "Since you can see Kael's fallacy, do you think he can solve it? If he can solve it, how much time will it take?
?”
Angel hesitated for a moment: "It should be no problem to solve it. How long it will take depends on when he guesses Mr. Isos's idea. If it is fast, it will only take half a day. If it is slow, it may take two or three days."
Doakes: "If it takes half a day, that's fine. If it takes two or three days, do we just sit here and wait?"
After Doakes finished speaking, he couldn't get a response from Angel for a long time. He turned back to look at Angel in confusion.
But Angel frowned and looked somewhere.
"Wizard Lyon, what's wrong with you?"
Angel hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you...did you hear anything?"
