This road with great spatial contrast is longer than imagined.
With the blessing of the power of wind, everyone has been walking for nearly five minutes, and still has not seen the end. On the contrary, the sense of oppression is getting heavier. Although Angel and others were not greatly affected, they gradually became silent.
, remained silent.
This atmosphere of silence lasted until the first narrow opening.
The road cannot get wider as they go, and the sense of awe and insignificance also has a threshold. Therefore, after walking for a long time on the "big road", they finally ushered in the first narrow mouth - the road, and began to gradually become narrower.
.
There is no branch road in this narrow mouth, but there is a stone statue at each end of the narrow mouth.
The stone statue on the left has been completely destroyed, leaving only the base. The stone statue on the right has also been damaged, but half of its body is still left. Judging from the recovery of this half of the body and some fragments on the ground, the statue on the right should be a hand-held statue.
Centaur with buckler and hammer.
Centaurs, simply speaking as monsters, do not actually exist in the Southern Territory. Even if they do exist, they are smuggled from the abyss.
However, stories about centaurs are often circulated among the people. They are like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus in fairy tales on earth, and they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The symbol represented by the centaur among the people is not a terrifying monster in the abyss, but a symbol of loyalty and perseverance.
Because the stories about centaurs are basically the same as those of Dragon Quest, and centaurs are the solid backing that stands behind the brave.
Whoever compiled the centaur story has long since disappeared in the long river of history. Whether he has seen the centaur in the abyss is probably a mystery.
But I have to say that the story of centaurs is very widespread. Even in the wizarding world, even if they know that centaurs are monsters of the abyss, many people actually like the image of centaurs.
One of Angel's friends, Viking, has the image of a centaur from the waist down. Of course, he had to transplant it as a last resort, but from the fact that Viking does not reject this image, we can know the attitude of the wizarding world towards centaurs.
.
Under such a trend, the centaur statue has also been given a lot of positive connotations.
Judging from the movements and posture of the centaur statue in front of us, it is a typical alert state, and it is a warning to those who come after to "stop".
The so-called "stop" generally has only two meanings, either to warn visitors that there is danger ahead, or that the front is an important place and please do not enter unless you are not allowed.
Which of these two meanings will it have?
Angel broke the silence first and expressed his doubts.
"Perhaps, there are both." The cold voice, with a hint of nasal cavity, was undoubtedly the one who spoke.
"I also think what Lord Black Earl said is right." This time it was Kael who spoke.
Kael had been squatting next to the completely broken statue base on the left, wearing goggles and holding very professional archaeological tools, including a special magnifying glass and a pheromone magnifier. He looked very stylish.
But when he was talking, Kael took off his goggles and let out a long breath: "Although I only captured a small part of the pheromones, I can basically confirm that it was not people who destroyed the statue, but
It’s some kind of monster with a dark aura.”
"This kind of monster may have its own corrosive ability. In some fragments, I extracted signs of corrosion. But the statue itself was not destroyed by the power of corrosion, but was smashed with great force, so I guess this kind of monster
It has a certain corrosive ability, and its strength is also quite impressive."
"Also, the most important point is that the pheromones can be extracted by me, which means that these statues were not destroyed for too long, no more than half a year."
"So, I agree with Lord Black Earl's statement. The original meaning of this centaur statue may be to remind visitors that there is an important institution ahead, and please do not enter unless you have to. But now, since there are monsters nearby, it means that there is also a possibility ahead.
Possession is dangerous.”
"The two possibilities coexist and are not contradictory."
Angel also recognized Kael's analysis, because his analysis was based on his findings. Having solid evidence always makes people feel more at ease.
Angel: "Are there any records of pheromones? If so, show me."
Kael nodded and handed the valuable pheromone amplifier directly to Angel. If it were anyone else, even Doakes, he would not give it easily, but Angel
He is an academic 'researcher' recognized by him, so naturally he will not refuse.
After Angel got the pheromone amplifier, he immediately started operating it.
Kael looked at Angel's standardized and elegant operation, and once again agreed that his vision was correct. You must know that the pheromone amplifier is an unsophisticated instrument, and it is extremely complicated to operate. If there is a slight mistake, errors will occur.
And Angel's operation was quite smooth, even smoother than Kael's.
Soon, Angel saw the traces and records of Kael's previous extraction of pheromones.
After putting down the pheromone amplifier, Angel fell into deep thought for a while.
Everyone knows that Angel wants to see the meaning of the pheromone record. In fact, he wants to know what the monster is that destroyed the statue.
But Angel didn't speak immediately after reading it, which made everyone feel itchy.
Vai even came to Doakes' side and said, "Why don't you also check the pheromone records? There will be more people to think about."
"You mean Angel doesn't have enough experience and doesn't know the monster?" Doakes asked.
Vai did have this guess in his mind, but as a fanboy, he would not say it out loud. He would only ask Doakes to help, so as not to be embarrassed if his idol could not recognize him.
But Doakes pointed out his thoughts directly, but Vai waved his hands repeatedly: "How is it possible? The noble, handsome, powerful and majestic Master Super Dimension is the most profound wizard I have ever seen!"
Doakes: "...The prefixes you gave him are too many..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Vai blushed: "I am telling the truth."
Doakes looked at his old friend suspiciously. Could this guy have been brainwashed by Angel? Why is he so weird today?
However, Doakes did not express the doubts in his heart, so the topic just stopped here. If Vai continued to ask him to operate the magnifier, it would not be Angel who would be embarrassed, the clown would only be himself.
That's right, Doakes ignored him because he didn't want to admit that he couldn't operate the pheromone magnifier.
Of course, besides Kael and Angel, there was another person who could operate the pheromone amplifier, and that was the Black Count. However, except for Angel, no one dared to ask the Black Count to do anything. Doakes was very courageous before.
Fatty, he also dared to speak to the Black Earl, but he doesn't dare to do so now, because it will expose the fact that he is ignorant.
"Huh?" While everyone was waiting silently, Earl Black suddenly made a confused sound.
Everyone quickly looked at the Black Earl, but the Black Earl said nothing and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Angel and the Black Earl were both lost in thought...
Time passed minute by minute. Two minutes later, the Black Earl came to his senses first, but he still didn't say anything. After another minute, Angel finally raised his head, rubbed his temples, and exhaled a long breath.
.
"Have you found anything?" It was Earl Black who asked.
Angel nodded with an apology on his face: "I made some discoveries, but it was too long ago. In addition, my knowledge of monsters is actually limited, so it took a long time. I'm sorry."
Vai: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are already very powerful!"
Doakes glanced at Vai: "When did you learn to flatter me? If you flatter me too, I guarantee that you will be promoted to wizard in a short time."
Vai: "No."
Vai has no shortage of resources and talents. He was even a little better than Doakes at the beginning. The reason why Doakes has caught up now is not that Vai can't advance, but that he has his own considerations.
Doakes twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered into Vai's ear: "We have known each other for decades and you have never flattered me. How many times have you met Angel?"
Vai stopped talking, because Angel was already communicating with the Black Earl, and he didn't want to miss it. As for Doakes' problem, these are completely different things. Best friends and idols are not on the same level.
The value of comparison, not to mention that he is still a new idol of Vai, so naturally he wanted to show it off.
On the other side, Black Earl: "Are you sure what kind of monster it is?"
Angel nodded: "If there are no accidents, this pheromone should be from Wu Mugui."
"It's the Wumugui again?" Everyone asked in surprise.
Angel ignored other people's doubts, but slowly and slightly moved in the direction of the Black Earl. In the Black Earl's doubtful mood, the wonderful illusion nodes formed a circle in front of his nose that could not be observed with the naked eye.
The structure of illusion.
"Your Excellency, you can make sure again. After all, my judgment may not be accurate."
The Black Earl sniffed it with his nose, and unexpectedly discovered that it was the smell of a pheromone... No, it was a pheromone imitated by illusion.
After confirming this conclusion, the Black Earl was no less surprised than when he saw Angel repair the magic pattern and release the moving illusion.
The Black Earl is very familiar with Sanders, and he is naturally no stranger to illusions. He knows very well that illusions can deceive the five senses. However, pheromone is not just about the five senses, it goes a step further and needs to be used at the level of inspiration.
Yes, it is spiritual perception.
Spiritual perception is not just a danger radar for wizards, it also has a wide range of other uses.
The spiritual sea, the land of the soul, and the thinking space are generally considered to be higher-dimensional existences. The same is true for inspiration. In the research of wizards, it may also be a higher-dimensional state, or, in other words, a higher-dimensional state unique to human beings.
dimensional senses.
The five senses flow on the material level, while inspiration is hidden in higher dimensions.
To identify pheromones, you need to use your five senses and inspiration.
Angel used illusion to imitate pheromones. Does this mean that he actually has some kind of inspirational talent?
The Black Earl's guess was actually right.
Angel's mastery of emotions and the five senses was far beyond ordinary people. Now in the wilderness of dreams, he has come into contact with independent existences without souls but with thinking consciousness, such as Bobota.
Coupled with Angel's mastery of nightmares, Angel can now use illusion to simulate this kind of existence that transcends the five senses.
However, Angel himself did not realize that this was some kind of talent, because it was too natural; and very early on, Angel had already unconsciously used inspiration to combine with nightmares, such as when he made a big fuss at the Twilight Auction.
At that time, he kept thinking about the suture woman in the nightmare world, which led to the intersection between the nightmare world and reality, and was also the beginning of the changes in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
At that time, Angel was connected to the nightmare world just by thinking, relying on inspiration. Between life and death, inspiration and nightmare combined, and this gave him the capital to overturn the table.
Neither Angel nor Sanders noticed this. It was natural for Angel to use this kind of illusion now.
Although it was the first time to simulate pheromones like this, Angel didn't feel like a failure at all. This actually meant that this talent had penetrated deeply into Angel's instinct.
On the contrary, it was the Black Earl's sudden mood swings that made Angel a little confused.
"Sir, have you noticed something is wrong? Is my judgment wrong?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Seeing that Angel didn't care about pheromone simulation at all, the Black Earl secretly had doubts in his heart. Could it be that Sanders had already studied illusions to this extent?
Otherwise, why could Angel treat this kind of super-sensory illusion so calmly?
If this is the case, the Black Earl feels that he must also adjust his mentality. He cannot make people think that he is ignorant. Especially when he meets Sanders in the future, if the other party shows off to him, he cannot act shocked and calm down.
Calm down...
When the Black Earl was under self-hypnosis, he was also very lucky that this time only his nose came out. The nose could not show any emotion, otherwise he would not be able to hide his surprise.
The Black Earl thought that he had concealed it well, but he didn't know that Angel could even combine his inspiration with nightmares, and his ability to capture emotional fluctuations was extremely powerful.
However, the Black Earl should indeed be grateful, but it is not that he concealed it well, but that it was Angel here instead of Sanders. If it was Sanders, he would definitely see through the Black Earl's thoughts at a glance, and
Although Angel knew that the Black Earl was constantly ups and downs in his emotions, he had no idea what he was thinking.
Therefore, when the Black Earl finally calmed down, Angel had no other thoughts at all. The only thought in his mind was: "Did I make a mistake in my judgment? It's not a witch-eyed ghost?"
While Angel was waiting anxiously, the Black Earl adjusted his attitude and tone, and said calmly: "It is indeed a Wumugui. Your judgment is normal. Very good."
The Black Earl gave a compliment, not for Angel's discovery, but for the fact that this illusion of simulating pheromones is quite powerful.
After receiving the Black Earl's affirmation, Angel breathed a long sigh of relief: "I thought I was wrong before, it was just a witch-eyed ghost."
At this time, Doakes said in a teasing tone: "What do you mean by 'just be a Wu-eyed ghost'? Why, do you only dare to face Wu-eyed ghosts?"
Doakes didn't know about the undercurrent between the Black Earl and Angel. After all, he didn't know much about illusions. He was simply confused by Angel's words.
But Doakes' doubts just paved the way for what Angel was going to say next.
"When I see any other monsters in the underground maze, I won't be too disturbed. But the Wumugui is different. Its existence has some special meanings."
