It is not difficult for them to find their true names and numbers in a pile of rubble. They can tell most of them with just a quick mental test.
The only difficulty is to determine whether it is a magic pattern or a real name and number.
This was a time-consuming task for Doakes, Kalel, and Vai, but it was still not difficult for Angel and the Black Earl.
Less than two minutes later, Angel and the Black Earl had turned over a large pile of rubble for the altar.
The result is...no!
There are no other traces except the broken magic lines that are beyond recognition.
"This is interesting. Is this Mirror Demon still a great demon, or a peerless great demon that has not yet been discovered by the wizarding world?" Doakes raised his eyebrows after hearing the result.
Doakes' questions are also questions of others, including Angel.
Angel turned to look at Earl Black. If there really was an answer to this question, then Earl Black was the only one present who could answer it.
After the Black Count pondered for a few seconds, he still shook his head: "No, at least in my memory, there has never been any Mirror Demon God."
"I don't know how long it has been since I saw the Mirror Demon God recorded in the Wuisu language. I don't know how long it has been along the way. Lord Black Earl should have thought through everything. Why do you still need to think for a few seconds before answering? Yes
Are you being arrogant, or do you know what you don't want to say?" Doakes was the only one who dared to confront the Black Earl without giving any face.
Although Doakes' words may sound a bit too critical, if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
The above are the thoughts of Kael and Vai.
Angel didn't have so many ideas. The Black Earl had clearly stated in the contract mask that he didn't know about the Mirror Demon, so he would believe what the Black Earl said. As for what Doakes said, might the Black Earl think of it again on the way?
, this is actually even more impossible. With the current status of the Black Earl, if you forget something, and then think of it soon, can this be the action of a third-level top wizard? Unless there is a more powerful existence than the Black Earl, the influence
his memory.
In response to Doakes's obviously critical remarks, the Black Earl snorted: "Sophistry."
The Black Earl only said this, and showed an attitude of disdain for Riddocks at all.
"It's gone? Didn't punish Doakes? Didn't get angry?" This was the thought of everyone present.
Originally, Angel thought there was nothing wrong with Earl Black, but this attitude of Earl Black was really a bit strange. Unlike others, what made Angel strange was not that Earl Black was not angry at Doakes' provocation, but that he was surprised.
, the emotional ups and downs of the Black Earl are quite obscure.
Even when he was refuting Doakes, his emotions were still obscure.
There were no ups and downs, and no waves. This emotion was more like thinking about something, and the content of his thoughts was more important than external things, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to Doakes's provocation.
Angel thought for a few seconds and said, "Could it be that the Demon God of Mirrors was named thousands of years ago, and now it has changed its name? Or has it fallen?"
"Impossible, the demon god's true name can be changed at will. As for the death, I have never heard of the demon god with this real name falling." The Black Earl answered without hesitation this time.
Angel nodded and murmured in a low voice: "That's strange, why is there no real name or number?"
Angel seemed to be wondering and thinking deeply, but in fact, what he was thinking about was the reaction of the Black Count. The Black Count quickly answered the question he just asked, which was a sign that the Black Count was indeed thinking deeply about something.
, but it should have nothing to do with the Demon God of Mirrors.
Angel glanced at Doakes, who happened to glance over and looked at Angel for a moment.
The exchange of eyes was short, but Angel still read what he wanted to say from Doakes's eyes: There is something wrong with the Black Earl.
The Black Earl has a problem. This is actually a very broad term. To put it bluntly, as long as he has other thoughts when exploring the ruins, he can be said to have a problem, just like Angel himself, he can also be said to have a problem.
However, the key point is whether the problem is large or small.
Angel thought for a while, then turned to look at the Black Earl: "Do you have anything to say, sir?"
"What do you want to know?"
It stands to reason that when Angel asked the question at this time, the question was naturally about the matter of the real name and number, but the Black Earl's answer was a direct rhetorical question. As if he knew that what Angel was most concerned about was not actually the matter of the real name and number.
"You can have any opinions, such as the Demon God of Mirrors, why his true name is Jihao, and... Sir, will you feel any sense of familiarity or inspiration when you come to the underground labyrinth?"
Angel's words were normal at the beginning, but strange at the end. Both Kael and Vai felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere at this time, and they stepped back and stood against the door. Only Doakes did not
Instead of moving, he squatted on a pile of gravel, watching the weird atmosphere between Angel and the Black Earl, his eyes shining.
The Black Earl was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere became more solemn, but Angel still did not retreat, and stared at the Black Earl - if staring at the nostrils was considered to be staring at each other.
After a long while, the Black Count suddenly let out a "chi", followed by a burst of laughter. The stiff atmosphere disappeared instantly like a popped balloon: "There should be members of our Noah family in this ruins exploration."
Please tell me something, don’t refute it, you must know it, otherwise, you wouldn’t ask for that promise before, and you wouldn’t ask for the ‘inspiration’ now.”
Angel listened to the laughter in the air and suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap, right?
The Black Count deliberately pretended to be thoughtful, but in fact he wanted to deceive him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. When he asked the Black Count for that promise before, the Black Count might have been suspicious; but he did not ask at that time, but waited for Angel to take the bait. No, the Black Count was just
Acting a little weird, he took the initiative to speak, saying words like "familiarity" and "inspiration" that seemed to have a deep understanding of the truth about the ruins.
If that's the case, what a cunning old man!
Angel cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"I said from the beginning that I know something about the ruins." Angel considered it for a moment and said something indifferent.
The Black Earl said calmly: "Let me guess what you are thinking now... You should be thinking now, why did he behave so strangely after entering the maze? Was it intentional and wanted to deceive you?"
Angel pursed his lips and remained silent. Not admitting it meant that he didn't think so - this was Angel's stubbornness.
"I can answer you, I did not deceive you. When you wanted to give me my promise, I knew that you knew the truth in the ruins, so there was no need to act and deceive you." Black Earl: "I know you
And I can tell you what that red-haired brat wants to know. But I have a condition."
Angel didn't say anything, but the "red-haired brat" on the other side spoke: "What are the conditions?"
Black Earl: "It has nothing to do with you."
After speaking, the Black Earl looked at Angel: "I won't ask you for an answer directly, I just need you to say one sentence."
"What words?"
"The destination of this ruins is related to the Noah family."
In short, the Black Earl is asking Angel for a guarantee.
Hearing the words of the Black Earl, Angel raised the corner of his mouth: "Is it just this sentence? Don't you activate the power of the power of truth? Aren't you afraid that I will lie?"
Before the Black Earl could speak, a faint red light escaped from the side, and the power of power was activated. The person who activated it was...Doakes.
If the Black Earl had a body at this time, he would probably have clenched his fists. He himself had no intention of activating any power words, because it was unnecessary. He was completely confident and could directly judge whether what Angel said was true or false. He was outside before
The purpose of turning on the contract mask is purely to dispel the doubts of these suspicious little guys, rather than requiring the contract mask to check the authenticity of what they said.
At this time, Doakes activated the power of power. The Black Earl felt a little suffocated, but he couldn't say anything.
Angel also saw that the Power Word spell was activated. He didn't care whether it was done by the Black Earl or Doakes. He said directly: "I regret to tell you that I cannot say this sentence. Because I am not sure.
Is the destination of the ruins related to the Noah family?"
There was no response from the Power Word spell, indicating that Angel was telling the truth.
Seeing this result, the Black Earl probably understood that Angel might only have a partial understanding of the ruins, but he did not know the real situation.
He thought for a while and said: "Then do you think it is most likely related to the Noah family?"
Angel nodded this time: "Yes. There is a high probability that it is related to the Noah family, but it is only a high probability, not a certainty."
Power Word still didn't respond.
The Black Earl nodded: "I understand."
Angel: "Can you please tell me the doubts that Doakes and I have?"
Black Earl: "Your doubt is why I behaved abnormally after entering the underground labyrinth? I can tell you that you were actually half right just now. There is indeed an inspiration, but this inspiration was sent out by me on my own initiative."
"In other words, it is a fantasy inspired by the intersection of omen and inspiration."
Inspiration is when a certain existence calls you in some form; and so-called fantasy inspiration is your own efforts to actively search for a certain existence. But in fact, whether there is a certain existence is a question, and it is pure fantasy.
It's a bit like a person who doesn't know anything, and after getting a few pages of completely incomplete information, he performs a ritual to send a signal to an unknown existence, hoping to get something in return.
This sounds a bit magical, and normal people will only think that this is the idea of a madman. But when it comes from the mouth of the Black Earl, it is different.
Angel: "Sir, because the promise I asked for before is definitely related to the Noah family, so as soon as you enter the underground labyrinth, you start to actively inspire?"
Black Earl: "With or without that promise, I will do it. It's just your promise that made me speed up the progress."
Angel pondered for a moment: "Did your Lord's active inspiration get any feedback?"
The Black Earl was silent for a long time this time: "There is no obvious information feedback, but I vaguely noticed that my bloodline seems to be echoing somewhere."
"However, is this real, or is it a feedback I imagined. I can't tell now. This is a side effect of my use of fantasy inspiration."
I don't know whether Doakes did it intentionally or not, but his power word has not been revoked. The Black Earl also didn't care at all, ignored the power word at all, and said these words.
There is no change in the Power Word spell, nor does it fluctuate when it is deliberately guarded against, which means that what the Black Earl said is true.
"Whether the bloodline echo you are talking about is real or a fantasy, you can take it as real for now."
After all, the underground maze is too big, and it is not easy for Angel to find a familiar place. Since the Black Earl has the bloodline inspiration, he should first walk in the direction of the Black Earl's inspiration. No matter whether he walks right or wrong, he will
Wandering in the underground maze, Angel believed that he would always encounter a familiar place.
Moreover, Angel speculated that the official institution that the followers of the Mirror Demon God might have attacked was actually the Prison Ladder.
If it was really a ladder to prison, he should be able to find a familiar location quickly.
"No matter what, thank you sir for clearing up our doubts." Angel bowed to the Black Earl.
The Black Earl snorted: "You little guys are just suspicious. I told you that I will not kill you and will protect you. You should still be on guard."
Angel smiled and said nothing, while Doakes muttered in a low voice: "Life and death are not the same as profit."
Doakes' meaning is also very simple. If the treasures of the Noah family are really found at the target location, the Black Earl may be able to keep his promise not to kill us, but the things will definitely not be distributed to them.
Therefore, what should be guarded and vigilant should be defended. If he gets involved halfway, even if they don't die, the benefits will be gone, and then this exploration of the ruins will not be in vain.
"Now we can get back to the topic, sir, is there really a demon god who hides in the abyss and cannot be detected by others?"
Black Earl: "Devils will spread faith. Generally speaking, there will be no demons who are hidden and undetected. However, there may be some monsters that have lived for a long time in the depths of the abyss, and some of them are even more powerful than demons.
They have their own names, but it’s okay to call them demon gods...after all, they are all monsters in the abyss."
"My lord, are you talking about the ancient one?"
The Black Earl paused for a moment on his slate, then slowly turned around and pointed his nostrils at Angel: "You know a lot. I'm afraid your mentor has never heard of the title of the Ancient One."
The Black Earl's words made everyone present prick up their ears.
There is no doubt that this is a secret!
"I just know some friends from the abyss, and they told me."
The Black Earl said calmly: "The Abyss is no better than the Wizarding World. In the Wizarding World, I can talk to you about the Ancients. But in the Abyss, there are not many people who dare to talk about the Ancients. It seems that your friends are not simple."
Everyone looked at Angel, obviously wanting to ask who the high-end person that Angel knew was.
Angel had many candidates in mind at this time: Alderkras, Balalaika, Fafnir, nightclub owner...but he couldn't name any of them.
Because...Doakes' power word technique has not been withdrawn yet!
The one who really told Angel about the Ancient One was Grewu, the descendant of the Flameless Lord. If he told Grewu, the trouble would be even greater.
Angel cursed Doakes in his heart, but still pretended to be calm on his face: "Fortunately, I just met an ancient man's subordinate."
This sentence is true. He has met Jialmu and Kulando, both of whom are subordinates of the ancient one who has mastered the rules of death.
Hearing Angel's words, the Black Earl was even more surprised.
Generally speaking, the Ancient One does not have many subordinates, and they have all followed the Ancient One and survived since ancient times. Even if they are not as powerful as the Great Demon God, they at least have legendary strength.
Angel actually met each other and chatted with each other, and the other party didn't even kill Angel yet?
This is simply magical.
You know, most ancient beings are even more unreasonable than the devil.
Angel saw that the Black Earl seemed to still have many questions to ask, and he quickly said: "My past is not today's topic, so let's stop here."
Angel changed the topic: "What do you mean, sir, is it possible that the Mirror Demon God is disguised by an ancient being?"
Earl Black: "If the Mirror Demon is sure to come from the abyss, I would be more inclined to believe that he is a subordinate of the Ancient One, rather than that he is disguised by the Ancient One."
