There was no sign of confusion on Doakes' face. Instead, he looked left and right, as if he was seriously comparing the two different roads.
But in fact, both Angel and Black Earl knew that Doakes must be in a dilemma at this time.
However, to their surprise, Doakes made his choice quite quickly.
Angel could even feel Doakes's ups and downs of emotions. Before his emotions calmed down, Doakes made a choice.
"Take that alleyway." Doakes said firmly.
Although Angel had doubts, he did not ask. Instead, he nodded directly and said to everyone: "Let's go and listen to him."
Doakes came closer to Angel and asked curiously: "Do you really believe in me wholeheartedly?"
Angel: "Anyway, if something happens, you will take the blame."
Doakes curled his lips: "Don't forget, you are the leader."
Angel: "Since you said so, why don't you just listen to me? Let's turn back immediately and take the path to the Twin Towers. It's not that far anyway."
Doakes rubbed his nose: "That's not necessary, we've already come here."
Angel: "If you don't go back, you will be blamed if something goes wrong."
Doakes opened his mouth, and said a few words of unknown meaning, and finally nodded: "Okay, then listen to me!"
Angel knew very well that Doakes was playing with his inspiration at this moment, and any retreat would mean giving up, which he absolutely could not accept now.
However, Angel was still a little curious. Did Doakes go against his inspiration this time, or follow it?
Angel and Black Earl communicated privately, and Black Earl was also a little unsure.
However, when they were unsure, Kael, the "crouching dragon", suddenly came online.
Although Kael followed the others, his face was full of reluctance: "Why do you have to go through the dark alley? There is enough light in the small garden, and there are not many witch-eyed ghosts at all."
Angel and the Black Earl couldn't handle Kael's complaint, but there was another "Feng Chu" who could handle it.
Vai: "I think so too. The small garden is definitely the best choice. Who knows why Doakes is so crazy that he insists on choosing a dark alley."
Kael and Vai sang together, which made Doakes look a little embarrassed.
Doakes came closer and first said to Kael: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You saw it, right? There are several stone tablets in that small garden. You want to go there and record the inscriptions on them, right?"
Kael: "Even if I have this idea, I am just using the image stone on the way, and I don't want to stop."
Doakes: "I don't care about that, you just have selfish motives anyway."
After talking about Kael, Doakes turned to Vai again: "As for you..."
Vai raised his chest and raised his head: "I'm not selfish, I just think the small garden is better than this dark alley."
Doakes looked at Vai, who looked critical at him. His anger, which was initially aggravating, suddenly slowly dissipated, and he returned to a lazy tone: "You kid, are you afraid of the dark?"
Vai just rolled his eyes. The Noah's divination shop he opened in Mesoemia was completely dark in order to heighten the atmosphere of the edge of life and death. Would he be afraid of the dark? Doakes said this even though he knew it.
Spread rumors.
Vai: "If you don't give me a reason, I will..."
Doakes: "Just what?"
Vai: "I'll... I'll walk through the small garden with Kael."
Vai has also thought carefully about it. He can see the end of the small garden at a glance, so there shouldn't be much danger. Even if he does encounter a witch-eyed ghost, he and Kael will not be afraid if they cooperate. Even if there are many witch-eyed ghosts, they should be able to
Fight a bloody path, and then meet the adults at the end, and the adults will naturally handle the follow-up.
Kael was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was okay to walk through the small garden with Vai. He had explored many ruins on his own and was really not afraid of walking alone.
"Okay." Kael gave Vai support without hesitation.
Vai immediately raised his head and looked at Doakes.
Because of this verbal argument, everyone stopped.
Doakes glanced at Angel: "Don't you say something?"
Angel: "What can I say? It's normal for them to have slightly different opinions. If I had to choose, I would give priority to the small garden. But, it doesn't matter if I take the dark alley. Anyway, for me, both paths are good.
You can go."
What Angel said was almost as good as not saying anything, and he didn't touch either side.
Doakes sighed helplessly and said to Vai: "I don't have any reason, I just feel that there is something slightly wrong with the small garden."
When Doakes said these words, Angel and Black Earl looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.
This time, Doakes probably didn't go against his inspiration.
But, is there any reason why he doesn't go against his inspiration?
When Angel was curious, Fengchu Vai came online again: "Something's wrong? What's wrong?"
Doakes: "It's true that we didn't see Wu-eyed ghosts in the small garden, but it's the absence of Wu-eyed ghosts that makes people feel strange. If you think about it carefully, Wu-eyed ghosts don't like light, but they're not too afraid of it.
They could have destroyed the fluorite in the small garden, but they didn't do it at all. Isn't this a strange behavior?"
Vai: "If you don't like light, just stay away. Why do you have to destroy it? It's so big here, it can fully satisfy the living space of witch-eyed ghosts."
Vai's words really make sense. Doakes scratched his head: "You are right to say that, but I feel something is wrong. Then choose the other side. As Angel just said, for us anyway
, both paths can actually be taken.”
Doakes laid out everything Angel said, and Vai felt a little embarrassed to continue arguing.
Indeed, you can go both ways, and Vai also gave a "similar" reason, so... then let's take the dark alley.
The two young apprentices stopped messing around, and everyone finally stepped into the dark alley.
"Do you think the reason Doakes gave is because he followed his inspiration?" The Black Earl's whisper came as expected.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know, but Dox made a decision very quickly this time. Maybe it was because of that reason, or maybe there were other reasons. After all,
Human nature is very complex. When making a choice, sometimes there are many things to consider, and sometimes it is so simple that it is just an inexplicable driving force."
Black Earl: "The driving force you mentioned is intuition?"
"Intuition, instinct, or simply an inexplicable feeling mixed with inspiration."
The reason why Angel said this was because he confirmed that when Doakes made his decision, his emotions were still in turmoil and it did not look like he had given it careful consideration.
Since it was not a deliberate decision, it may have been other driving forces that made him make the choice.
They used to personify inspiration too much. In fact, inspiration itself has no thought. What can really think is Doakes. Doakes is the subject of everything.
Black Earl: "What you understand is interesting. Maybe you are right."
Angel: "Then how do you understand, sir?"
Black Earl: "Same as you."
There was a smile in Earl Black's tone, and he obviously had other ideas, but he didn't intend to say it. Angel didn't ask, because he was afraid that Earl Black's level of understanding was too high, leading him to fall into a high-level trap.
Although the Black Count now only has a nose and is not very powerful, his knowledge base has not changed. Sometimes, low-level wizards forcefully spy on or understand the words of high-level wizards, and they are likely to fall into high-level traps. This is not the fault of high-level wizards.
, it’s because the low-level wizards are overestimating their abilities.
Therefore, the discussion between Angel and Earl Black rarely touched on the level of knowledge. Earl Black did not raise the level of understanding too much, which made their communication actually quite harmonious.
Before walking a few steps on the dark alley, I encountered a strange scene.
Five witch-eyed ghosts circled around and kept turning.
Wumugui itself has the ability to turn into shadows. At first glance, it looks like a bunch of shadows spinning in circles.
"Is this a habit of the Wumugui?" Vai looked at Kael. Although Kael did not recognize the Wumugui immediately when he was in the outside world, he knew that the monster he encountered was a Wumugui.
Finally, Kael said a lot about the habits of the witch-eyed ghost.
This is a typical academic style.
Kael thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "Is this practicing?"
"Cultivation?" Vai looked at the group of shadows that made him feel dizzy. What kind of ghost cultivation method is this?
Kael: "As far as we know, among shadow-related monsters, Wumugui is a rare group type. According to records, the cultivation method of Wumugui is the blending of shadows."
Vai: "So the big fish swallows the small fish? These ghosts are not playing, but fighting? If they catch up, they will swallow the shadow in front of them?"
