After Angel fell from a high altitude, the air fell into silence. Everyone looked at Angel silently, and no one spoke.
The reason why this happened was that the apprentice did not dare to speak. Doakes felt like a useless person and was a little embarrassed to speak. The Black Earl, on the other hand, felt a bit far behind and did not want to speak. Moreover, he had just praised him not long ago.
After passing Angel, all he had to say now was praise, which made him feel inexplicably awkward.
Angel didn't know that everyone had different thoughts, so when he saw that they didn't say anything, he simply spoke up himself.
"The magic energy array has now been activated. Judging from the current situation, it will no longer be hidden in the short term." Angel: "Even if it is covered up with illusions, as long as the traveling merchants make transactions, they will definitely feel strange. In the future,
The members of the hero team may have to move their base."
After Angel finished speaking, he sighed slightly.
Everyone looked blank: ...When you broke the silence, the first thing you paid attention to was the group of ordinary people.
"Wai, please tell the group of people outside about the situation inside. Suggest that they move out as soon as possible... Also, you can agree to some of their moderate requests as appropriate."
The one who spoke was not Angel, but the Black Earl.
After Earl Black said these words in the psychic belt, in his opinion, it was another way to express his support for Angel. This is probably——
I don’t want to praise you, but I can support some of your humble opinions.
Angel didn't know that the Black Count had such an arrogant side, but the Black Count's proposal was exactly what he wanted to say, so he didn't object vocally, and he agreed a little more with the Black Count's feelings in his heart.
Rhine and the Black Earl have been friends for many years, and it seems there is a reason for this.
Although I don’t know what the Black Earl’s real temperament is, at least the Black Earl’s nose is currently considered a good collaborator.
After solving the problem of the heroic team, Angel looked up at the magic energy array shining above his head: "I thought this magic energy array would have an effect similar to short-distance teleportation, transporting people into the depths of the maze. But it has already appeared.
Judging from the magic patterns that came out, there are quite few magic pattern angles related to space. It is not a teleportation array, but a decrypted array."
"Decryption?" Doakes finally found the opportunity to show his presence.
Angel: "Just use the magic energy array to crack the magic energy array."
In the truly deep underground labyrinth, the magic energy array is huge and complex. The fact that it can still operate after tens of thousands of years shows how powerful it is. This will be the case even after ten thousand years. It is obviously even more unrealistic to completely crack it ten thousand years ago.
However, this group of followers of the Mirror Demon God found a loophole that was not completely covered by the magic energy array. They used the magic energy array to create a "leverage" against the magic energy array and secretly pried out a passage.
To put it simply, this magic energy array is just an insignificant little moth placed on a huge magic energy array. As long as it is not done too much, it will not attract internal attention.
It can be seen from this that the mysterious person who originally found the location for the underground church was definitely not simple.
On the contrary, the level of the person who built this magic energy array is very average, the encryption measures are quite weak, and the energy projected from the lecture table is a bit obvious as the main control magic pattern.
However, this was a good thing for them. It didn't take them too long to find an underground passage that seemed to be still usable.
"You should be able to try this magic energy array now. I don't know if it can still be used after so many years." Angel said, turning to look at everyone: "By the way, before activating it, I want to remind you,
Although this magic energy array is not particularly complicated, it is embedded in the magic energy array in the underground labyrinth. Once it is fully activated, energy fluctuations will inevitably escape."
"I don't know how strictly the Traveling Merchant Organization monitors the energy fluctuations in the Garden Maze, but as long as we enter this passage, there is a high probability that we will be discovered by them."
"So, if this passage is really usable, after we enter it, we should speed up the exploration as much as possible. If we encounter monsters, skip them if we can, and don't waste time." Angel looked at
Doakes, this guy is a bloodline wizard. Once he starts fighting, he may not stop, so take some eye drops in advance.
"Also, don't stop studying when you encounter murals and characters that are suspected to be ancient ruins. If you can't help it, you can bring the image stone and study it again after you return." Angel looked at Kael this time.
.
Kael also knew that Angel was talking about him, and nodded quickly: "I understand."
As for Vai and the Black Earl, Angel didn't say anything. The Black Earl had more experience than him, so he could naturally control the relationship between himself and Vai.
"If that's the case, then we need to set up some obstacles here to block the tourism industry?" Vai suggested.
Angel: "It doesn't matter if there are any obstacles, but I can give some guidance to those who come after me. I'll set them up."
After Angel said this, he casually flicked a stream of nightmare aura, lingering around the magic energy array.
"That's it? Why didn't you put some poison or something, like the kind that makes people grow mushrooms..." Doakes muttered beside him.
Angel glanced at him, and the latter smiled innocently. Doakes used this method to tell Angel that he knew the situation of the Princess's Castle and also knew that Angel had uneasy intentions in deceiving him to go there.
Of course Doakes didn't use this matter to threaten Angel. When he said it at this time, it was actually a sign of calmness.
If you want to make friends...well, if you want to make friends, it's best to be calm about any points that may cause conflicts, suspicions and clues, and avoid these small things from snowballing and getting bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to resolve by then.
"There is no such poison anymore." Angel said calmly.
"It's okay to put some powerful traps. I have a few self-destructing puppets here. How about hiding them in the illusion? It might be a bit risky to kill the official wizard, but it should be no problem to blow them half to death." Doakes suggested again.
Before Angel could reply, the Black Earl said: "It's not necessary. Setting up these traps you mentioned only shows your lack of confidence."
After finishing speaking, the Black Earl said again: "What Angel did is pretty good, there is no need to do anything fancy."
Others did not see what Angel did in the nightmare, but Black Earl was very familiar with Sanders and had some understanding of the nightmare created by Sanders, so he saw Angel staying in the nightmare
Instructions for...
Yes, there are only guides, no traps, and no illusions deliberately created to confuse people.
The instructions were also very simple, just a few sentences: explaining the background of this underground building; explaining that they repaired the magic energy array, and that he made the lecture table; and also mentioned something about extraordinary beings, extraordinary beings
to solve.
Except for the last sentence, which tells newcomers not to embarrass the people of the hero team, the rest are straightforward, without any subjective opinions, just pure "guidance."
To put it simply, it means leaving the choice to those who come after you. You want to believe it or not, it’s up to you. I have repaired the magic energy array, but you have to make your own judgment and make a choice as to whether I have any backup plan or not.
If you are a very suspicious person, you will naturally do various investigations first, which is actually delaying time.
Of course, if a suspicious and cruel person directly uses human life to test it, then the time of their encounter may be advanced. At that time, even if he kills them, Angel will not have any objection.
To put it bluntly, their strength is stronger than that of the Traveling Merchant Organization, so why should we be afraid of them? I just don’t want to be disturbed.
Angel's approach not only gave him enough face, but also secretly predicted the other party's mood. At the same time, he was also full of strong self-confidence.
Because, his instructions were all true, and he did not make any backhanded moves in the magic energy array.
This approach was even more pleasing to the Black Earl.
Doakes' approach may be more effective in stopping the pursuers, but they are not afraid in the first place and there is no need to engage in such violent means in advance. On the contrary, it seems that they have lost their confidence.
Of course, the above is just the imagination of the Black Earl.
Does Angel really think so? Actually... it's almost the same.
However, the reason why Angel did not use lethal traps was not because he would lose his self-confidence. It was entirely because before that, the behavior of the traveling merchant organization did not actually touch Angel's bottom line.
Moreover, from what the traveling merchants and magicians said, Angel did not feel that the traveling merchant organization was very overbearing.
Although they exchanged extraordinary objects from the adventure group and made huge profits, they did not force the exchange, but achieved their goals through transactions. Otherwise, the weapon in Crow's hand made of the rare human-faced eagle demon blood stone
, it is impossible to keep it.
In Angel's view, traveling merchant organizations have merit.
They may regard the adventure group as a tool, but the adventure group has also gained a lot because of its attachment to the traveling merchant organization. There are many people in the hero team. In a short time, they have earned enough gold coins to last a lifetime, and left
Come here and return to the prosperous life of ordinary people.
From this perspective, Angel does not hate traveling merchant organizations.
When there was no obvious feeling of disgust, he did not use lethal traps, but took the initiative to give guidance, which was not only to raise suspicions, but also to express a self-attitude.
…
"Then what should we do next?" Vai looked at his friend Doakes.
"Even your adults think this is good, what else can you do? Let's not set a trap, that's it." Doakes seemed helpless, but his eyes were slightly excited.
If the traveling merchant organization really catches up, he would have reason to take action.
Before that, he acted like a useless person, with Angel and the Black Earl taking the lead. But if the Traveling Merchant Organization comes after him, he, the most powerful bloodline wizard at his level, will have a role to play.
When the time comes, if it is left to him to intercept and kill the tracker, it will not be in vain for him.
This is Doakes' sincere thought, but if Angel and Black Earl could hear it, they would probably sigh deeply.
Doakes did not come here as a disabled person this time. His spiritual perception was simply a beacon in the fog, guiding them forward.
It can be said that Doakes is no less important than the two of them, but he has not realized it yet.
"Let me activate it. If something happens to the magic energy array, please protect Vai and Kael." Angel walked to the table and said to the Black Earl.
The Black Earl had no objection and walked aside. Vai on the other side looked at Angel with even more admiration. Even at this time, he was considering his safety. He was really a good wizard.
After Angel stood still, he took a deep breath and placed his hand on the control magic pattern.
Previously, Earl Black only activated the manifestation of the magic energy array, but this time, he completely activated the magic energy array.
As the magic power rolled into the main control magic pattern, not long after, a beam of light rushed towards the magic energy array above the head. This time, it was no longer like before, where the magic pattern slowly appeared, but was directly lit.
Removed all magic patterns.
The entire magic energy formation emits a dazzling light in mid-air.
Whether the magic energy array is effective or not depends on this.
The light was extremely bright and the energy was so strong that force field fluctuations began to occur throughout the underground church. Walls peeled off, dust rolled up, and pots and pans fell to the ground with a crackling sound... These were all caused by energy fluctuations.
When the energy dissipated to the extreme, a faint black hole appeared in the lower left corner of the magic energy array.
"Is this a failure?" Vai asked with some confusion.
"There is no failure, that is... a passage." Doakes looked at the black hole and said softly.
"Go in, there will be no space fluctuations, there won't be any big problems." The Black Earl said.
Everyone nodded, and with the power of wind given by Su Ling, they flew high into the sky.
When they were below, they saw a black hole appear in the lower left corner of the magic energy array, but when they reached high altitude, they discovered that it was not the black hole that appeared in the magic energy array, but the black hole in the spire behind the magic energy array.
There are three spires, one big and two small. The big spire is the backbone of the magic energy array, the small spire on the right is where the "Purification of the Goddess" inscription card is placed, and the spire on the left, where the black hole is... is the real way to enter the underground maze.
aisle!
Everyone did not hesitate and flew directly into the black hole.
…
At the same time, in a metal building outside the garden maze, a group of people wearing uniforms with "Traveling Merchant" written on them were running towards the energy reaction area.
The energy reaction area is a huge sand table.
The sand table simulates the entire garden maze.
At this time, a faint light was emitting from a corner of the sand table. And this place was the location of the underground church.
"There is an energy response!"
"The energy reaction this time is not big, but it is very strange. It doesn't look like it was caused by a monster emerging from the ground."
"Does anyone know if there is an adventure group nearby?" The person who spoke was wearing a white mask with a weird "shang" character written on it. Judging from his dress and aura, he was obviously the leader of this group of traveling merchants.
.
"I know this is where the hero team's supply warehouse is located. I've been there once before, and it's an underground building."
"Is there an energy reaction occurring directly in the underground building?" Bai Mask pondered for a moment: "It's interesting."
"We checked that underground building before, and there was nothing there."
After hearing this, Bai Mask said calmly: "Remember my advice, don't have absolute confidence in your own judgment. The truth will never be where you can see it."
I won’t say whether White Mask’s words are correct or not. But they reveal the faction he belongs to in pursuing “truth”—the idealist group. They believe that truth is an idealistic concept and is not a physical object. Pursuing truth,
In fact, I am looking for myself and exploring the upper limit of my own knowledge.
The faction that holds this kind of truth and insight is the most typical academic thinking.
"What I see is too narrow." A member of the traveling merchant knelt down half-kneeling while stroking his chest, and expressed his thanks to the white mask in front of him.
Bai Mask glanced at him and knew that he was still dissatisfied in his heart. He said calmly: "Let's go, it's up to you. Come with me and go there to see if your judgment is correct."
"This energy wave shouldn't require the help of adults. Just send two teams there..."
"It doesn't matter, I have a hunch that something interesting will happen there."
