After Angel finished speaking, he looked at Earl Black.
Black Earl: "That's it?"
Angel: "That's it, it's gone."
The Black Earl glanced at the child who was still peeing in the illusion, and said calmly: "Okay, when this is over, you can ask your friend to come to the Noah clan to find me."
As for what the Black Earl would do after finding him, the Black Earl didn't say anything, and Angel didn't ask. This was just an opportunity to help Salum, and it was still up for grabs whether Salum would go or not.
If you really want to go, I will talk to Mr. Rhine then to see if there is a way for Sarum to repair the black code and come out of the Noah clan completely.
"In other words, what we are looking for now is a building called the Prison Staircase?" Doakes finally found the opportunity to ask.
Angel hesitated for a moment and said softly: "If you want to say that the prison ladder is a building, then... that's okay."
"What do you mean?" Doakes asked confused: "The prison ladder is not a building?"
Angel: "You can tell from the name that the Ladder is a ladder. If you want to say that a ladder is a building, I think it's okay."
Seeing that Doakes seemed to still have doubts, Angel quickly said: "Whether it is a building or not, this is not something that needs attention. There is no need to delve into it."
"Then should we go back to the maze directly now?" Doakes said with some reluctance on his face, "Why don't you explore the living area?"
Angel: "If you want to stay here and explore, I won't stop you."
After speaking, Angel turned around and walked towards the high wall of the maze behind him.
Everyone naturally followed. Although Doakes wanted to explore the living area, but thinking about it carefully, it is so big here that it would be endless to explore. Moreover, it can be seen that the swords in the hands of the goddess statue were taken away.
It has been robbed countless times. He may not be able to dig out gold from the gravel, but that's it.
After re-entering the maze, everyone discovered that the air in the maze was actually fresher than the living area outside. The air outside was filled with a too strong smell of blood. If they were not in an illusion of light and shadow, they might have been hidden in the dark.
The monsters here are targeting me.
However, the air in the maze does not smell good. At least, not on this section of the road. After all, there are many mutated scavenging squirrels around...
"Sir, is the living area just now really worthless for exploration?" At this time, a questioning voice sounded from beside him.
You don’t need to look at Angel to know that it is Kael who is speaking.
If Doakes asked, Angel would be too lazy to reply, but when Kael asked, Angel could talk.
After all, Doakes and Kal-El have completely different purposes for exploring the ruins. The former is for profit, while the latter is just out of curiosity.
Angel: "There is value for exploration, but our destination is not there. There is no need to waste time exploring, and..."
"And what?"
"Moreover, the atmosphere there is too quiet. The smell of blood is obviously very strong in the air, but there is no sound around, which seems a little wrong." Angel shrugged after finishing speaking, "Of course, it is possible that I am overthinking.
.”
"So that's it?" After listening to Angel's words, Kael recalled the previous situation. Indeed, there was a strong fishy smell in the air, but there was no sound in his ears. Maybe something was really wrong.
Thinking of this, Kael turned to look at Doakes, wanting to ask Doakes if he had any hints about his inspiration.
However, just as he was about to speak, Kael remembered Angel's previous hint that it would be better not to mention Doakes' inspiration in this ruins.
Kael did not choose to ask Doakes, but Doakes took the initiative to come forward.
"Do you really feel something is wrong?" Doakes looked strange.
Angel took one look and knew that Doakes' inspiration had not issued a warning just now, otherwise Doakes would not have been reluctant to part with the living area at that time.
"I didn't feel anything was wrong. I just said it casually, more out of reasoning and... caution." Angel said the truth.
After hearing this, Doakes pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he took the initiative to approach the Black Earl for the first time.
"Did Lord Black Earl notice anything wrong just now?"
Doakes' question made everyone prick up their ears, including Angel. Angel also wanted to know what the Black Earl thought of his reasoning.
The Black Earl said calmly: "What you care about is that your inspiration didn't work?"
Doakes was silent, but his expression said everything.
Black Earl: "There are three possibilities for inspiration not working. First, inspiration does not work all the time, maybe it just doesn't work. Second, there is no danger there, so there is no need for inspiration to jump out on its own initiative. Third, there is no need for inspiration to jump out.
Third, there is indeed something wrong there, and its weirdness is higher than your upper limit of inspiration detection, so inspiration has no effect."
"You can choose one of the three possibilities. As for the answer, don't ask me. I'm just a nose and I don't know."
The Black Earl didn't say whether there was anything wrong in the living area, which made everyone a little disappointed.
Although Doakes was also disappointed, after listening to the Black Earl's analysis, he was also wondering which situation it was.
While everyone was having their own thoughts, Angel once again started a "private chat" with the Black Earl.
"Sir, which one of the three situations do you think it will be?" Angel asked directly.
The Black Earl's lazy voice sounded in Angel's heart: "I said, I don't know. I didn't lie to Doakes, and there's no need to lie to you."
"Then do you think it must be these three situations? Is there a fourth situation?"
"Oh? What do you think?" The voice from the Black Earl was still calm, but Angel could feel that the Black Earl's emotions were ups and downs.
This means that his guess may be correct. The Black Earl did not lie to Doakes, but he did not finish what he said.
"Fourth, the inspiration was deliberately concealed and Doakes was not prompted."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Black Earl: "Do you think inspiration is intelligent life? And you deliberately hide it?"
Angel: "I can't answer whether inspiration is intelligent life, but since it exists in Doakes' thoughts, it is not difficult to deceive Doakes' brain."
"Then why does it deliberately conceal it? It is one with Doakes. If there is danger in the living area, his concealment will only put Doakes at risk."
Angel: "Docks is not alone now. With Lord Black Earl here, inspiration determines that Doakes will be in danger, but he will not die. Then it is possible that he will hide it."
Black Earl: "I accept this reason, but you still haven't answered me directly. Why did Inspiration deliberately hide Doakes?"
Angel actually didn't know what the answer was before he asked.
But with the discussion with the Black Earl, or in other words, under the guidance of the Black Earl, an answer is already coming out.
And this answer has been mentioned by the Black Earl before.
"Doakes has begun to doubt himself." Angel said softly.
The psychic belt was silent for a long time before the voice of the Black Earl came. At this time, there was a hint of smile in the Black Earl's voice: "You are really good at guessing."
"So, is what I said right?" Angel asked.
"I don't know either." The Black Earl still answered this, but after saying this, he added meaningfully: "Inspiration is like prophecy. The more confused you are, the harder it is to be seen.
Qing. So, it’s not a bad thing to live a little confused sometimes.”
Angel pondered for a while and then laughed: "I kind of understand it. Unfortunately, my inspiration comes and goes. I really can't feel what it is like to have an inspiration that can reach the level of prophecy."
After a pause, Angel stopped talking about Doakes' inspiration, but asked: "You should have smelled something when you were in the living area, right?"
The Black Earl answered normally this time: "I did smell a stench, lurking deeper underground. The feeling it gave me was not too trivial, but it was not enough to leave us alone. It was probably better than yours.
The devil must be a little stronger."
The Black Earl said it very easily, but his strength is higher than that of Ermi... that means he is at least at the level of the first level of peak true knowledge.
If we really meet them, we might get them into big trouble. However, it is basically impossible to kill them.
It's no wonder that Doakes's inspiration didn't remind him.
While they were chatting, everyone had returned to the three-way intersection.
Now there is no need to explore the right side, you only need to choose one of the two. Either choose the left or choose the middle.
There are a large number of mutated scavenging squirrels on the left, but none in the middle. Judging from this indication, the left may be safer than the middle.
After all, mutated scavenging squirrels are also monsters, and it is the nature of monsters to seek good fortune and avoid evil. There are no mutated scavenging squirrels in the middle. It is possible that there are mutant scavenging squirrels in the middle that cannot be offended.
"How about we go to the left?" Kael whispered.
"You are not the team leader, let the team leader decide." Vai immediately retorted: "I personally think it is better to vote."
Vai still wants to help Angel and continues to fool Doakes.
However, Angel didn't need Doakes to help him choose at this time.
Because Doakes has entered the stage of self-doubt, he dares to deliberately conceal his inspiration, and it is not impossible to deliberately mislead him.
So, this time... or in other words, until Doakes has completely tamed his inspiration, he can no longer rely on his inspiration.
"Don't vote this time, walk in the middle." Angel said calmly.
Vai was stunned for a moment: "Sir, have you found a familiar road?"
Angel: "No, wait until you see the statue of the pissing child. Then you will find a familiar road."
Vai: "Then why do you want to..." Choose the middle?
In fact, deep down in his heart, Vai still wants to vote. It is best to vote to the left, because the middle obviously feels dangerous.
Angel looked at Vai's troubled face and said jokingly: "Didn't you just say to let the team leader decide? Now I have decided to go in the middle, why do you look hesitant again?"
Vai's face felt hot and he scratched his scalp, not knowing what to say. He just retorted to Kael because he just wanted to vote!
After all, Vai is a descendant of the Noah family. Angel didn't tease her too much. He joked a little and then changed the subject: "Let's go, there are only so many roads anyway, and the maze itself is normal. Maybe,
Later we will go around to the left and go back."
"No crow's mouth..." Doakes whispered.
Angel: "I'm telling the truth. Haven't you ever played the maze game? Then you have missed a lot of childhood fun."
Angel said as he walked towards the middle road.
It was hard for the others to say anything. At this point, they could only follow Angel.
Only Doakes stood behind and glanced to the left, seemingly hesitant.
Because the ten-meter range of the illusion of light and shadow is a safe zone, Angel stopped ten meters away and waited for Doakes to make a decision.
"What, do you have any other ideas? You can share them." Angel asked with a smile.
When Vai saw this scene, he was elated. Could it be that Doakes' inspiration was to go to the left? Then can they go to the left instead?
However, Vai's excitement did not last long. Doakes stood at the three-way intersection and remained silent for more than ten seconds. Finally, he closed his eyes and walked directly to the middle road without saying a word.
At this moment, neither Vai nor Kael knew what Doakes had experienced.
But Angel and the Black Earl knew very well that Doakes should have reached the final step of self-doubt at this time. Apparently, inspiration just appeared and he was prompted to go to the left, but Doakes hesitated for a moment.
Finally, without saying anything, he followed Angel directly to the center.
This is not an easy decision to make.
Doakes has avoided countless risks by relying on inspiration. It can be said that inspiration is Doakes' life-saving trump card. But now, Doakes has to go against the judgment of inspiration and make completely contradictory choices. This is something ordinary people cannot understand.
It was difficult to arrive.
"Let's go." Doakes came to Angel's side and said calmly.
I originally thought Doakes would say a few words, but he didn't say anything, which surprised Angel. He thought Doakes would say a few words, but he didn't expect that when he made a major decision,
Doakes still has a serious side.
Since Doakes didn't want to say anything, Angel didn't ask. Amid Vai's disappointed expression and Doakes' complicated thoughts, they walked forward in silence.
Although there are no mutated scavenging squirrels around, Angel has not canceled the illusion of light and shadow. Anyway, it does not consume much magic power and can provide an extra layer of security.
The road in the middle is getting wider and wider. Now let alone ten people walking together, even if it can accommodate twenty people walking together, there is no problem. And this road is beginning to have a downward trend, because the walls on both sides are getting wider and wider visible to the naked eye.
Coming higher and higher.
Compared with this huge maze and the extremely tall walls, the few of them are too small.
This gave them a sense of awe unconsciously.
The awe of the small and the huge.
Of course, this is just the feeling of two apprentices. Official wizards such as Angel are completely unaffected by this spatial gap.
Moreover, as the surrounding area became wider and the walls became higher, Angel became more and more certain that the path he chose might not be wrong.
The reason why he initially chose the middle was simply that he felt that it was not far from the Prison Staircase. The Prison Stairway was the official institution of Naruo City, with a dominant boss sitting in charge. How could such an official institution be like this?
Allow small monsters to intrude.
Therefore, Angel chose the middle path without mutated scavenging squirrels.
As the road gets bigger and bigger, the walls get higher and higher. Although the big stone in Angel's heart has not yet fallen to the ground, it is not far away.
Why did this road go to such great lengths to build it like this? Isn’t it just awe-inspiring?
It is undeniable that this obvious spatial contrast does make people feel small and humble.
There is no need to deliberately create this sense of awe in living areas or other buildings. Only the official institutions of Naraku City can do this.
