As the words fell, the air suddenly became silent. It was clear that Earl Black did nothing, but everyone felt a pressure coming towards them.
This is not coercion, nor does it have energy fluctuations. It is purely a sense of oppression created by the wizard's strength reaching a certain level and using the power of the world's will.
And being able to take advantage of the general trend of the world's will has definitely begun to go very far on the road of law. This is a road that leads to legend.
The Black Earl suddenly did this, obviously reminding everyone that although he was very cooperative before, don't take his cooperation for granted. Don't forget that he is a wizard who is only one step away from being a legend.
Angel is closest to the Black Count and has the deepest feelings. Moreover, the Black Count himself is also here for Angel.
However, the Black Earl did not mean to hurt anyone, so Angel was not injured, but his face turned a little pale.
The Black Earl calmly repeated again: "If I don't tell you, what will happen to you?"
After finishing speaking, before Angel could reply, the sound of footsteps came into his ears.
Looking back, he saw Doakes walking in with a solemn expression, his eyes cautious, looking at the stone slab floating in mid-air.
Angel knew what Doakes meant by looking at his expression.
Even though the Black Earl is terrifying, it is just a nose after all. Doakes and Angel work together, even if they can take him down, they will definitely not be at a disadvantage.
This plan was discussed with Angel before Doakes came. If there was a confrontation, they would deal with the Black Earl together.
Looking at Doakes with a determined expression, Angel secretly sighed in his heart: Does this guy only have fighting in his head?
The Black Earl hasn't done anything yet, and they haven't even entered the underground labyrinth yet. Tensions are about to escalate. Is this guy here to cause trouble?
Angel quickly stopped Doakes from moving forward with his eyes, and said at the same time: "If you want to suffer the backlash of the contract again, come in. Otherwise, go out."
When Doakes heard this, he immediately stopped. He was still a little self-aware, and he believed that Angel would definitely have a way to induce him to lie in the contract mask.
Moreover, Angel stopped him, which meant that before it was time to break up, Doakes was not stupid and said haha: "You guys keep talking."
Doakes left the contract mask in despair.
Although the Black Earl had no face, Angel could feel that he was definitely looking at Doakes just now, and he guessed that there was a secret agreement between them.
However, the Black Earl didn't say anything. It was obvious that for him, being guarded like this was already commonplace.
"Of course you don't have to tell me, sir. This is your freedom. Just like, I also have secrets about this ruins that have not been revealed. However, I can be sure that the secrets I hide will not affect the exploration."
Black Earl: "So, you still want me to tell you, will this matter affect the exploration?"
Angel shook his head: "If you want to speak, you can say it. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. However, I hope that you can give me a promise."
Black Earl: "Are you making demands of me?"
Angel: "It's not a request, it's a promise that as a team leader, you must consider the safety of your team members."
The Black Earl pondered for a moment: "Say."
In the Black Earl's mind, Angel probably made a promise similar to not attacking each other internally. He had said this promise long before he came, and he would at least keep them safe, so he didn't mind saying it again.
However, what Angel said next surprised the Black Earl.
"I hope that no matter what happens next, what you see, what kind of intelligence information you get, you can't contact other organs in your body in any way, nor can you summon them, let alone come in your true body."
"Besides, the ruins here cannot support your true form."
Even Doakes was a little surprised by Angel's request...Did Angel expect something when he asked for this promise? This ruins is actually very important to the Noah family? It's so important that the real body may come.
The Black Earl did not answer immediately, but whispered: "You seem to know more about this ruins than I thought? Is this ruins related to our Noah family?"
"I don't know." Angel said, "But since Lord Black Earl proposed it, I have some guesses in my mind."
Angel's answer did not alarm the backlash from the contract mask, indicating that he indeed did not know whether the ruins were related to the Noah family.
The Black Earl secretly thought: Is it really a premonition?
Can you put your premonition aside for now and agree to Angel's request?
If this place is really closely related to the Noah family, I am afraid that this part of him is really at a disadvantage...
Angel: "Your Majesty, your delay in speaking is because you are not confident in yourself?"
The Black Earl knew very well that Angel was using a provoking method. It was usually useless, but under the light of the contract, it was somewhat restrained.
Because he was not sure whether the power of the contract would backfire after he said "I am confident".
After weighing it again and again, the Black Earl sighed inwardly, and finally nodded: "Yes, I promise you."
Angel originally wanted to show his trump card. If he really needed backup, his backup was no worse than the Black Earl. Under the cover of the contract, it was completely possible to confirm Angel's words and put pressure on the Black Earl.
But now it seems that Doakes's words were right. The contract mask only made the Black Earl a cocoon.
Of course, there is another reason. It is the Black Earl's nose. If it is his brain or hands and feet, that is another matter. After all, the brain can't think faster than the nose.
Thinking of this, Angel immediately showed a bright smile: "Since my lord has agreed, you are free to say it or not."
The Black Earl always felt that Angel's smile at this time was a bit dazzling, so he simply turned away from the stone slab, not wanting to look at him.
Angel didn't care, but continued to ask: "Sir, do you really not want to tell me what information you are hiding?"
The Black Earl snorted coldly, but did not answer. He had already agreed to a promise, so why would he reveal the hidden information?
Angel: "My lord doesn't want to say it's your freedom, but maybe I can take a guess?"
"It should be information related to the Noah family, right?"
The Black Earl still snorted coldly. As long as a normal person listened to their previous conversation, they would definitely be able to guess that the information he was hiding must be related to the Noah family.
"The Noah family is worthy of being a big family. It has been inherited for such a long time." Angel said with emotion: "But it is strange to say that this group of believers who believe in the Demon God of Mirrors would carve on the table something similar to the Noah family.
Where is the relevant information?”
Doakes: "Perhaps the leader of a certain organization mentioned by these believers is the ancestor of the Noah family."
Angel can be sure that Doakes's words have absolutely no inspiration bonus. Even his words, Angel did not dare to answer, because he knew that the ancestor of the Noah family was probably that Augu
Sting, and that one is not a master.
If you answer the call, you will definitely be exposed to the contract mask.
Angel remained silent and pretended to think.
In fact, he was really thinking.
He remembered that from the information he received from Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, Augustine seemed to be in love with a lady named Margaret, and Margaret was also somewhat interested in Augustine.
Margaret's father, Franklin, was the warden of the Prison Ladder.
The prison ladder...the prison...the warden...
This prison ladder should be regarded as an important institution in Naraku City, right? As the warden, is Franklin considered a master?
Thinking of this, Angel made a bold guess in his mind.
Perhaps, the institution that this group of followers of the Mirror Demon want to attack is the Prison Staircase! Otherwise, why did they inexplicably mention the Noah family? The Noah family at that time, and Augustine at that time, were not what they are now.
giant.
The thing most closely related to Augustine is the prison ladder where Margaret is located.
Regardless of whether this guess is right or wrong, Angel will keep it in his mind for the time being and will know the truth when he finds the entrance. Because according to Black Earl's translation, followers of the Mirror Demon God mentioned that this underground church is not far from that institution.
If it is really the Stairway to Hell, then Angel is lucky. Because he is not familiar with other parts of the underground labyrinth, but he is very familiar with the Stairway to Hell. The guidance method he practices is also in the Stairway to Hell.
obtained.
While Angel was thinking, the Black Earl said: "I have translated everything I should translate, and now it's up to you. The one in the middle of the table should be the magic pattern, right?"
The Black Earl could see some magic patterns in them, but he always felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be discontinuities, like intermittent lines. That's why he used the uncertain tone of "it should be magic patterns."
Everyone also looked at Angel. They understood the characters, but the characters did not mention where the entrance was. So would there be any hints on this pattern?
"This is indeed a magic pattern, but it is not a flat magic pattern, but a three-dimensional magic pattern that goes deep into the inside of the table." Angel pointed at the "interrupted" patterns and said, "These magic patterns
The entire pattern is carved into the inside of the tabletop, so it seems to be only a section when looking at the surface."
Everyone reacted when they heard that it was a three-dimensional magic pattern. They had also heard of this magic pattern technique, which was a relatively complex and hidden magic pattern.
Doakes: "I heard that if there were real three-dimensional magic patterns, it would not be difficult for a magic pattern warlock to identify them. But now that the real ones are gone, do you have a way to identify them?"
Angel subconsciously wanted to say something modest like "I don't know, but you can try, I will try my best", but the words were already on his lips. Feeling the power of the contract surging around him, Angel
His heart skipped a beat. The power of the contract does not distinguish whether you are humble or not. It only distinguishes between serious words and lies. So, Angel quickly changed his words: "If you have a way, give me some time."
After a pause, Angel said: "This is not a good place to crack the magic pattern. Let's go back to the underground church first. According to the characters, if there is no accident, the entrance should be in the underground church."
The Black Earl also agreed with this point. If the entrance is not in the underground church, there is no need for the group of demon believers to build it here.
Just leave.
The Black Earl put away the contract mask, and then walked along the corridor to the underground church.
At this time, the underground church was brightly lit, and it happened to be the time to open the church. Every room was filled with wisps of smoke, and the aroma of food and meat filled the entire underground church with an even stronger smell of fireworks than before.
"Did these people not consider air circulation at all?" Vai didn't seem to like the smell of fireworks, frowning and said: "If they had thought about it, they would have discovered the inscription card."
"You know they haven't thought about it? It's just that sometimes it's better to be confused." Doakes said casually.
Although it was an argument, Angel felt that Doakes might be right. Although the old man kept smiling, it was just an appearance. You must know that other people showed fear when facing the extraordinary, but the old man Fufu was
He acted very calmly, and his respect and honorifics were just courtesy. From his eyes, it could be seen that he was definitely a calm and wise old man.
A wise old man who is in charge of his family would not consider ventilation issues? Impossible.
He must know something, he is just pretending to be confused.
Somewhat different from Vai, Doakes seemed to like lively scenes. He didn't hate the smell of fireworks at all. He even walked up to someone with a smile and asked for a barbecue leg.
While eating, Doakes also sighed with emotion: "The traveling merchant organization is quite good to these adventure groups. The meat is good, and there is no shortage of fruits and vegetables. It would be better if there is wine."
Doakes' emotion was very loud, as if he was speaking specifically for others to hear.
Within a few seconds, the old man Buxiu came over with a smile: "Sir, there are still a few bottles of blackberry wine in the supply warehouse. Would you like to give it a try?"
Doakes muttered: "Blackberry wine, isn't this a wine for women... Forget it, just have wine to drink. Where is the supply warehouse? Let's take a walk!"
Doakes didn't care about the others at all, and happily followed the old man.
Angel was too lazy to care what Doakes did, and turned to the others: "If I guessed correctly, since the three-dimensional magic patterns are used on the desktop, you might as well go and see if there are any that look like patterns.
, but at the cutoff place, there may be a magic energy array composed of three-dimensional magic patterns hidden here."
Everyone thought it was right. When they were searching before, they only looked at the complete lines, and naturally found nothing. But if it was a three-dimensional magic pattern, and only a small section was exposed, maybe it was really there.
Thinking of this, everyone found a direction and began to explore.
As for Angel, after he finished instructing others to do their work, he returned to the podium in the lobby on the first floor.
Using illusion, the lecture table that originally stood here was restored.
He quietly looked at the magic patterns on the desk, and a three-dimensional simulation composition was already unfolding in his mind...
