Angel, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and looked back thoughtfully at the narrow passage in the darkness.
"Why, are you still thinking about that gasping sound just now?" Doakes approached Angel and said with a mysterious face: "Tell me secretly, in fact, you were right before, that gasping sound was made by a monster.
.”
Angel looked at Doakes doubtfully.
Doakes raised his head and said proudly: "Inspiration, inspiration, this time it's real inspiration. Why, you still don't believe it?"
Angel shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe it, I just can't figure out why your inspiration always comes to such meaningless things."
Doakes's eyes widened: "What does it mean to be meaningless? This is very meaningful. Doesn't this help you clear up your doubts?"
After finishing speaking, Doakes couldn't help but complain: "I saw your serious expression, so I helped you figure it out. Otherwise, why would I have to say more. I rarely tell others about my inspirations."
Indeed, Doakes rarely tells others about his inspirations. However, here, Doakes did not know that he had actually revealed a lot of inspirations inadvertently.
If he knew, given his character, he would probably feel that he had suffered a big loss, and he would not be able to get out of the dark clouds without feeling depressed for a few days.
"I didn't think about the gasp just now. To me, it doesn't make any difference whether it was a human or a monster." Angel looked through Doakes' shoulder and looked into the depths behind him: "I just found out
, the illusion I left on Ma Qiusha was triggered. Also, the guidance outside the magic energy array was also activated."
Doakes was stunned: "You mean, the people from the Travel Merchant Organization are really chasing after you?"
Angel: "What's so surprising about this? It would be surprising if they didn't come. I just don't know when they would dare to come in after reading the instructions."
When Angel said this, he didn't know that a rebellious and extremely mischievous black businessman in the traveling merchant organization had already arrived at the building they had explored before...
Angel deliberately set up that guide, just to see if the Traveling Merchant Organization would first check the magic energy array and then catch up. If this was the case, Angel would have a better impression of the Traveling Merchant Organization. After all, they
It can be tried with human life.
But things are fickle, and some things are not always what you think they will be. Variables are everywhere. Black business is such a variable.
"Keep walking. I feel like there is a cold wind blowing in front of me. There may be an exit." Angel did not continue to worry about the Travel Merchant Organization. For them, the Travel Merchant Organization would at most create a little trouble. He wanted to sabotage their actions.
, unless the Bilos family mobilizes in full force.
Angel and others were not afraid, but Kael and Vai were still a little worried. They couldn't help but approach familiar wizards, so that even if they were unexpectedly attacked, they would still have someone to help them.
It's just a bit surprising that Kael chose to stay close to Doakes, while Vai chose to stay close to... Angel.
Kael's choice is normal. He and Doakes are familiar with each other. Vai, logically speaking, the best choice is his ancestor, the Black Earl, but he is probably afraid of being scolded, so he does not dare to approach;
But the second choice is definitely Doakes. They have been friends for many years, even closer than the relationship between Kael and Doakes. But Vai did not choose Doakes, but came to
When he came to Angel's side, he showed a flattering and shy expression.
Angel didn't think about Kael and Vai's thoughts, but he was a little surprised that Vai suddenly came to him. But it came as soon as he came, and Angel didn't hate Vai, or in other words, Angor didn't hate Vai.
Geer generally doesn't dislike nerdy and nerdy extraordinary people. What bad intentions can people who love nerds have?
Angel smiled and nodded to Vai, and then continued to move forward.
When Vai saw this, he thought that Angel had agreed to follow him, so he followed him with great strides.
Doakes, who was in the back, looked at his friend Vai's behavior and felt a little strange in his heart. When did Vai become so good with Angel?
When everyone had their own thoughts and doubts, they finally came to an unusual road.
It is still a high-walled alleyway with no forks, but the overall direction of this alleyway is downward, a large slope.
The wind that Angel felt before was blowing from below.
At this time, standing at the entrance of the slope, the cold wind became more obvious, and there was a rustling echo throughout the lane.
"Sir, this wind..." Angel originally wanted to discuss it with Earl Black, but when he turned around, he found that Earl Black had flown to the very back.
"There must be a road leading to the smelly ditch down there. The smell is too strong." The black earl's nose on the stone slab had now flattened into a "convex" shape.
As a nose, although he can also use normal spells, his strongest sense of smell is definitely the nose's own sense of smell. The Black Earl's nose is facing a critical attack, so it's no wonder he can run far away.
The so-called stinking ditch is just a name among wizards. It is actually the sludge accumulated in the sewer.
The underground labyrinth is said to be a labyrinth. It also has buildings and a city-like outline, but it also has a more familiar name, which is the underground waterway.
What can be in the sewer? It's just dirt.
Therefore, it is normal to occasionally encounter smelly ditches. However, after thousands of years, the smelly ditches no longer have much role in discharging sewage. They are basically the lairs of some foul-smelling monsters.
Wizards rarely go to the stinking ditch, because there are no treasures there and the smell is completely unnecessary. Moreover, the monsters living in the stinking ditch cannot be underestimated. They are suddenly besieged by tens of thousands of monsters.
Even if you are officially a wizard, you still feel uncomfortable.
"Don't tell me that our destination is in the stinking ditch." Although the Black Earl had no eyes, Angel felt like he was being stared at directly.
Angel recalled his journey in the Nightmare Realm. He did not see any drainage channels near the alley where the Devil-Eater Flower King was, and Angel remembered clearly that not far from the alley, there was
It was a hall decorated with a rather scholarly atmosphere, but something that was somewhat contrary to the artistic atmosphere was that there was a huge green-skinned monster living in that hall.
After Angel wanted to play with all the details, he shook his head at the Black Earl: "I can confirm that the destination is not a smelly ditch."
Doakes was actually paying attention to the Black Earl's question, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Angel's answer.
Doakes: "It's okay, okay, I don't want to get stink."
The Black Earl sneered: "Don't be too happy too early. What Angel said is that the destination is not in the stinking ditch. Whether we will go through the stinking ditch on the way is another matter."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, the slate turned and looked at Vai: "If you really go into the stinking ditch, I will enter your body. You have no right to refuse, otherwise stay away from Angel now. Don't think I can't guess.
It’s out of your mind.”
Vai nodded obediently. Even if the Black Earl didn't say the next words, he wouldn't dare to refuse. Those words actually aroused Angel's doubts.
However, Angel just glanced at Vai without thinking about it. Again, what bad thoughts can an otaku have?
"Don't worry, adults. We probably won't go to Stinking Water Ditch. As long as we find the institution that the Demon God Cult wants to attack, the road ahead should be clear."
Angel's words revealed quite a lot of information.
Even the two apprentices were a little surprised; let alone Doakes and the Black Earl.
"It seems that you already know the institution that the Demon God's Cult is going to attack?" the Black Earl said in a determined tone.
"I've guessed a few things. You don't need to be suspicious. I just made some deductions based on the existing information and some things I know." After Angel finished speaking, he still put on the same attitude of "Don't ask about me."
"The appearance.
Black Earl: "With the existing information, I don't know what existing information I can give you before. Mirror Demon, I can be sure that you don't know it at all. So what other existing information can be used for inference?"
"
"Is it the mural found later, or... is it the information about our Noah family?"
Angel had to praise the Black Earl's keenness. He deduced from Augustine that the official organization that the demon cultists might be attacking was the prison ladder.
However, he still did not want to answer this question because he could not explain how he knew that Augustine was having an affair with the daughter of the Lord of the Ladder.
Angel: "My lord, it's better not to probe further. If you become suspicious every time I reveal some information, then I'd better shut up."
"You just need to believe me. I don't have any bad intentions. There are just some things that I can't say due to certain restrictions."
Angel opened his heart openly, with an expression as if you were casually using the Power Word to investigate.
But no one used the power of power, because Angel had already said something similar before the exploration, and there had been an oath at that time. This was the reason why Angel could be trusted and served as the team leader. Moreover, even opening the ruins
The key was also refined by Angel. If he really had second thoughts, why did he work so hard to refine the key? He secretly refined it himself, and then he didn't even have to go out himself. Let Rhine arrange a few wizards to explore.
No, that's fine.
Considering Angel's importance in the Savage Cave, let alone asking a few people to explore the ruins, even if Rhine was asked to do it in person, Rhine would probably not refuse.
"I believe in Master Chao Dimension!"
When silence filled the air, Vai suddenly spoke.
"Master Chao Dimension must have his own difficulties. There is no way you have bad intentions."
Doakes stepped forward, twisted Vai's body, and pointed his head towards him: "Hey, hey, when were you brainwashed by Angel? As an old friend, let me remind you, don't look at him.
He looks sanctimonious, but he is very dark inside. He tried to trick me before and let me get infected with the mushroom poison, so please don’t trust me wrongly."
Angel: "It turns out that I am such an untrustworthy person in your heart."
Doakes faced Angel again with a face: "How is that possible? I believe you too. As a friend, I only believe what you said after I get to know you deeply, know you are right and wrong, and know what you are right and wrong."
It's true. And Vai is just a follower, so I just gave you a few words of warning."
Angel: "Is Vai a follower? Why do I think he is a pioneer? After all, he said he trusted me first."
Doakes: "Trust does not need to be expressed, it just needs to be known in the heart. Expressed trust is not true trust."
Angel looked at Doakes's shameless look and wanted to talk to him a few more words, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. No matter how much he said, Doakes still had this character.
However, Vai's support surprised Angel a little.
Just as Doakes said, when did Vai trust him so much? They obviously only met for a few days, could it be...
Do you want something from me?
After all, he is also a master of alchemy and a member of the Research and Development Institute. Vai wants to ask him for alchemy or something, so he is probably so attentive.
I'm a nerd, I don't know any other way to express myself, I only know how to be courteous in this way.
Thinking of this, Angel felt helpless and pity towards Vai. Being attentive to him was of no use to him, so instead of being attentive, he might as well be direct and trade at equal value.
Although Vai is just an apprentice, he also has abilities that Angel is very coveted. For example, the smell of death is very interesting. If Vai is willing to use the number of times he uses the smell of death in exchange, Angor doesn't mind giving it to Vai.
Alchemy.
Thinking of this, Angel patted Vai on the shoulder and gave him a hint with his eyes.
Vai didn't understand Angel's meaning at all. As a new fanboy, Vai thought... Angel gave him affirmation.
Vai's heart immediately surged.
Sure enough, only an unfallen star like Master Chao Dimension deserves his respect!
Two people whose thinking was completely wrong ended up looking at each other seriously for the first time.
At this time, Angel raised his head and looked at the Black Earl in the distance: "What do you think, sir?"
Black Earl: "Stop talking nonsense and keep walking."
Angel smiled. Although Earl Black did not say it directly, this statement actually meant that he had given in.
That's enough.
Angel waved his hand and a purifying force field covered everyone.
"Let's go, I believe there should be a fork in the road below. If there is still only one road to the smelly ditch... I can only say that those demon god cult members are really tolerant."
…
On the other side, black businessmen were strolling leisurely in this almost abandoned building.
The black businessman under the mask yawned: "It's really boring. I thought they had set up traps or other obstacles. But they didn't set up anything."
"Do you believe too much in your own strength? Or are you a group of kind-hearted little white rabbits?"
The black merchant squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"I still hope it's the former..." Although he also liked dealing with the fledgling little white rabbit, his hot-tempered brother couldn't bear to see him bullying the weak.
What can a little speechless brother like me say? Of course - lucky!
When Hei Shang thought of his brother, he felt inexplicably happy again. Presumably, Bai Shang was also thinking about him at this time. Because only when Bai Shang thought of him, he would be inexplicably happy. This is the tacit understanding between twins.
Humming a little tune all the way, the black merchant reached the top floor.
He had no intention of checking the details around him. Let the gray merchants do these troublesome tasks.
He has only one goal!
Find the person who casts the illusion and beat him up!
However, the black businessman who walked out of the top door looked at the vast field of vision in front of him and scratched his head in confusion.
