"Whether it is or not, we might as well go over and take a look first." Angel said while reinforcing a purification force field in the mobile illusion.
Although the Black Earl took the initiative to release his sense of smell, and smelling the stench caused him to lose control of his emotions; he also did this to save the team's time. As the team leader, Angel always felt that he should do something to calm the emotions of the team members, so,
There are actions to strengthen the purification force field.
However, the mobile illusion originally had a purification force field, but with an extra layer of reinforcement, the actual effect was not much different.
But this behavior did make the Black Earl calm down a little. This probably means that although the result will be the same whether you do it or not, if you do it, at least it means you are using your heart.
And this intention was rewarded, and the Black Earl sent a private message to Angel.
"I see the shadow of Sanders in you, but I also see yourself. This is a good thing, but if you want to grow up to be independent, it is best to abandon imitation."
This "private chat" can be regarded as a reward from the Black Earl.
After Angel listened, he thought for a moment and understood what the Black Earl meant.
As a team leader for the first time, Angel actually didn’t know how far he should go. Angel, who had been Sanders’ follower, began to imitate Sanders intentionally or unintentionally. Even when making decisions, Angel
I wonder: What would the instructor do if he were here?
It must be said that the Black Earl has a very poisonous vision.
Angel didn't show any embarrassment as a team leader for the first time, but the Black Earl still found out the details. The Black Earl didn't sarcastically view this, but gave a very sincere suggestion:
Imitation is not a bad thing. However, if you want to be truly independent and become a decision-maker and leader, it is best to abandon imitation.
"I understand, thank you sir for informing me."
The Black Earl snorted lightly and did not respond.
Angel didn't care, but discussed the route with Doakes.
There are too many Wu-eyed ghosts here, and once you are discovered by a Wu-eyed ghost, or you kill any Wu-eyed ghost, you will be surrounded by heavy siege.
Although Wumugui is a low-level monster, they are extremely good at incarnation. It is easy to kill one or two, but they can kill thousands of them, which is difficult to deal with.
Therefore, it is important to plan your route in advance.
Soon, both Angel and Doakes planned a route, but their routes were similar in the early stage, but they had differences later on.
The early stage is similar because in the early stage, in a huge square, even if there are many Wumu ghosts, there are still paths that can avoid encountering Wumu ghosts. But after crossing the square, there are buildings everywhere and various lanes, so there are two different routes.
.
Doakes' route bypasses the Twin Towers and Bell Towers far away. There are two branch routes to choose from, and they are all alleyways. It is estimated that you will encounter more than ten witch-eyed ghosts.
Angel, on the other hand, passed directly by the clock tower of the Twin Towers. There was only one witch-eyed ghost patrolling back and forth on the path.
After hearing the two completely different routes of Angel and Doakes, everyone was actually quite surprised. According to Doakes' usual situation, his choice should be more radical, such as going straight in. But the strange thing is,
This time he chose a conservative route. This route was very circuitous. Although he encountered many witch-eyed ghosts, it would never attract the attention of the two wizard-level witch-eyed ghosts.
Angel, who is usually very cautious, instead chose to go directly from the Twin Towers clock tower.
"Sir, is Doakes' route better, or Master Chao Dimension's route?" There is no doubt that it was Vai who spoke.
As soon as Vai finished speaking, Doakes muttered beside him: "He was promoted later than me. If you call him by his honorific, call me by his first name. You are deliberately stirring up trouble, boy!"
Vai ignored Doakes completely. Anyway, with the Black Earl here, Doakes didn't dare to do anything to him.
Black Earl: "They can decide for themselves. It doesn't matter which way they go."
Originally, Angel wanted to hear Earl Black's opinion, but Earl Black was obviously not prepared to interfere, which made Angel feel slightly embarrassed.
Normally, it would be okay to listen to Doakes's choices, because there is an inspiration bonus. But now, Doakes' inspiration has started to go against the grain, and everyone is a little afraid to believe Doakes.
Although Vai and Kael didn't say anything, they obviously believed Angel more. After all, there was only one witch-eyed ghost on this road, and they could avoid it while patrolling. As for the possibility of attracting two wizard-level witch-eyed ghosts,
Attention? Since Angel has chosen this path, he should have some countermeasures...
Angel looked at Doakes: "Is there any reason why you chose this route?"
Doakes said lazily: "You tell me first, and then I'll see if I want to listen to you."
Angel frowned slightly, but he still spoke first: "The route I chose is the closest, and the chance of encountering witch-eyed ghosts is also the smallest. Even if we encounter them, they won't be able to find us in the illusion."
Doakes nodded while listening, seeming to appreciate Angel's choice: "What you said makes sense. But anyway, your illusion is so powerful, wouldn't it be safer to take my route and avoid the Twin Towers?
Can you avoid the risk of being discovered?"
Angel narrowed his eyes: "Do you think my illusion can't hide those two wizard-level witch-eyed ghosts?"
Doakes: "No, I just think it's not a big deal to take a detour."
After Doakes finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the route he had chosen, his eyes twinkling slightly.
Although Doakes spoke very little and had no expression, Angel found that Doakes' emotions fluctuated greatly. It could be said that it was the biggest ups and downs since they entered the ruins.
This was just a route choice, why were there so many emotional ups and downs? Angel found it hard to understand.
At this time, Doakes's eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the Twin Towers. Angel noticed that when facing the Twin Towers, his mood was actually more stable than the route he chose.
This seems to mean Doakes agrees with his choice?
But why did Doakes insist on the more circuitous option?
When various thoughts were mixed in Angel's mind, the Black Earl said: "Have you made a choice? It's just a route. Do you think about it for so long?"
Angel closed his eyes and thought for two seconds. After opening his eyes, his eyes became firmer than before.
"Let's take Doakes' route." Angel made the decision directly without giving any reason.
Although everyone was confused as to why Angel made such a choice, since Angel had decided, it was just a matter of leaving. Anyway, it would only be a long detour.
Doakes looked at Angel with complicated eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask Angel why he listened to him. But in the end he did not say anything, but walked to the front in silence.
"What, are you ready for war?" Angel's voice came from behind.
Doakes: "The bloodline wizard should be at the front. This is the dignity of the bloodline side!"
"I've heard this sentence before, but it seems to have a premise that it must be in a melee." Angel: "So, you think your choice will definitely lead to a fight?"
Doakes said angrily: "Caution, this is caution, don't you understand?"
Angel smiled and did not answer. Instead, he followed Doakes and walked leisurely.
While everyone was following the illusion, the Black Earl's private chat line was connected to Angel again.
"Did you notice?"
Angel: "My lord, are you saying that Doakes disobeyed the instructions given to him by his inspiration?"
The Black Earl laughed: "You have indeed discovered that the route inspired by Doakes should be yours. To be able to discover this, you must have some special talent in observation, right?"
"How did your Excellency find out?" Angel asked without answering.
Black Earl: "I can smell a lot of things, such as the breath that is lifted up in a hurry, and the breath that is forcibly suppressed."
"Maybe I, like adults, discovered Doakes' anomaly through changes in his breath?"
Black Earl: "The breath changes I mentioned before are all controlled by Doakes. I still know whether your nose can do it."
Angel also smiled: "It is true that I didn't discover it through breath, but please don't forget my duty, sir. Although I am not as powerful as my mentor in the art of mental illusion, it is not difficult to feel the changes in people's hearts.
What's more, everyone is in my illusion now."
Angel lied, but he really deceived the Black Earl. After all, it is quite rude to use the power of truth during communication.
Moreover, what Angel said is completely possible and the logic is self-consistent. Angel has also proven his level of illusion. Why don't you believe it?
Black Earl: "Psychic illusions are rare nowadays. In the past, mental illusions were quite popular because controlling people's hearts can be addictive... But then, the devil came and war broke out. Illusion wizards specialized in mental illusions.
On the contrary, it has become a dispensable and useless thing in battle. Therefore, the number of people learning the art of mental illusion has begun to decrease. After all, mental illusion is more useful in assisting. But nowadays, people prefer aggressive fighting."
"But my mentor asked me to learn more about mental illusions. He always said that people's minds change. Moreover, mental illusions also have world-class illusion skills. The future is promising." Angel said.
The Black Count heard the world-class illusion and smiled: "That's right, the future is promising. I just don't know how long it will be in the future?"
At this point, Angel felt that he could end the topic of fantasy. If he continued talking, it would be bad if it was revealed that he was deceiving just now.
So Angel took the initiative to change the topic: "Doakes fought against inspiration this time. Is it good or bad? Do you know?"
Black Earl: "We don't know yet, but when we finish his route, we should have results."
Angel: "Let's wait and see."
After the private chat ended, Doakes complained: "What on earth did you say, why didn't you take me with you?"
Angel: "You have to ask Lord Black Earl about this. It was Lord Black Earl who took the initiative to connect with me."
Doakes glanced at the Black Earl and wanted to speak, but the Black Earl interrupted Doakes' thoughts with a direct sentence: "Are you sure you want to know about the Noah family and the Savage Cave?"
The hidden meaning is that after you hear this, you are no longer free. Either join the Noah family or go to the Savage Cave.
For Doakes, who regarded freedom as extremely important, this was undoubtedly his Achilles heel. He did not dare to ask any more questions for fear that he would be forcibly freed if he learned some secret.
Seeing Doakes helpless and cowardly and speechless, Angel couldn't help laughing.
"Speaking of which, Doakes values freedom so much. Could it be because of his inspiration?" Angel took the initiative to chat privately with the Black Earl this time.
Black Earl: "You have never been to the Cross Headquarters, right?"
"Isn't that the stronghold of the wandering wizard? I shouldn't be able to go in, right?"
Black Earl: "If you walk directly into the Cross Headquarters in your current appearance, can anyone recognize you as the famous super-dimensional wizard? If you say you are a wandering wizard, who will refute you?"
Angel thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the case. It was actually difficult to judge whether he was a wandering wizard or not.
"I dare say there are at least 10% to 20% of those in the Cross Headquarters who are pretending to be wandering wizards. Maybe some of the old men in the Cross Headquarters are spies from the City of Truth."
The old men at the Cross Headquarters that the Black Earl mentioned are actually the strongest ones at the Cross Headquarters, and they are also the faces of the wandering wizards.
"Why must it be a spy from the City of Truth?"
"Hmph, you will know if you have been to the City of Truth. There are many wizards there who you have never seen but are quite powerful. These are secretly cultivated by the City of Truth, so if you can cultivate powerful and unfamiliar wizards,
The wizard, only the City of Truth can do it."
The Black Earl paused: "That's enough, let's get back to the topic. As long as you have been to the Cross Headquarters, you will know why Doakes values freedom so much."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Angel was a little confused.
"It's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing. It's just a difference in values." Black Earl: "You have mature values, so it doesn't hurt to go and take a look. Moreover, go there and listen to the wandering wizard's explanation of freedom, and you can pretend to be better in the future.
Become a wandering wizard."
Angel wanted to know why he wanted to pretend to be a wandering wizard.
But after thinking about it, he still didn’t say anything. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future?
While they were chatting, everyone had already crossed the square.
With the cover of the moving illusion, the journey was calm and did not attract the attention of any witch-eyed ghosts.
However, you may need to be more careful next time.
They were standing outside a building that looked like a bird's nest. Judging from the mottled words on the door plate, it seemed that this place had once been the Procuratorate. It might have been a place similar to a court. From the hole in the bird's nest, you could see a ring inside.
The seat, in the center, is a place similar to a podium.
If this was really a court, it would most likely allow outsiders to come in and witness the trial of criminals, otherwise there would be no need to arrange so many seats.
But now, there is no breath of living people in the bird's nest-like procuratorate. Everywhere is filled with black breath seeping out from the ground. Countless ghosts are lying at the exits of the black breath, sucking in the black breath.
These black breaths are both filth and energy. They are the root of the existence of monsters in the underground labyrinth.
It was definitely not like this at first. It is estimated that the magic energy array changed later. As for how the change was caused, Angel didn't know, but he guessed that it might have been caused by the three-eyed blue devil.
"I was thinking of walking through the alley next to this building, but there are no ghosts on the outermost floor of this court, and there is a door at the end of the outermost floor. Maybe we can go here instead?" Doc said
Stall.
This kind of diversion based on local conditions does not matter.
There are indeed a lot of witch-eyed ghosts over there in the alleyway. Even if they are under the protection of the illusion, they must be careful. If it doesn't work, you can only include them in the illusion. There is a small chance that this kind of behavior will be discovered by other witch-eyed ghosts.
.
Therefore, it would be a good choice to take the outside path of the Procuratorate.
