When the Black Earl faces his peers, he plays intrigues, intrigues, intentionally speaks half of his words and leaves the other half for people to guess. These are all fine.
But facing this group of juniors, I have no such thoughts at all. Whenever I have doubts, I just ask directly.
It was the same this time. When Angel's eyes started to flicker, indicating that he was showing signs of coming back to his senses, the Black Earl woke him up directly and asked him the doubts in his heart.
"You seem to be particularly interested in this witch-eyed ghost?"
The Black Earl's question was not in the private chat channel, so everyone looked at Angel curiously.
"Don't you think you've fallen in love with it?" The only one who dared to say this was Doakes.
Doakes looked surprised: "I just said it was beautiful, but I was comparing it to the other witch-eyed ghosts around. I didn't really praise it for being beautiful. If you really have an offbeat fetish, don't rely on me."
"
Angel glanced at Doakes lightly: "If you want to hear my explanation, you'd better shut up."
Doakes can bend and stretch, and even retract after teasing.
Seeing that Doakes stopped talking nonsense, Angel said: "This witch-eyed ghost is indeed very special, but what caught my attention was not the witch-eyed ghost itself, but this thing."
Angel took the photo stone directly from Doakes' hand. Doakes opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
Manipulating the image stone, Angel began to enlarge part of one of the images.
This is at the waist of Wu Mugui. Because he was afraid that the white coat would slip off, Wu Mugui tied it with several vine-like belts. In order to look good, he also hung a variety of decorations on each belt.
These decorations are basically gemstone jewelry, which were probably dug out from somewhere by the witch-eyed ghost. There are extraordinary items and ordinary gemstones among them.
What Angel noticed was one of the oval silver hanging ornaments.
That pendant was not an extraordinary thing, so it didn't come into everyone's sight at first, until Angel kept zooming in on the image, so that the pattern on the silver pendant was placed directly in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was stunned.
The pattern on the silver pendant is very simple——
A knight's rapier has two wings, embedded in the intertwining of thorns and roses.
This is obviously a logo-like pattern.
As for the reason why everyone was stunned, was it because they felt that this pattern seemed vaguely familiar?
"I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere?" Vai murmured in a low voice.
Not only Vai, but also Kael's face was full of doubts, and even Doakes fell into deep thought for a while.
It's normal for Vai and Kal-El to occasionally be unable to remember, but as an official wizard, Doakes feels familiar but just can't remember, then this is a big problem.
When they were suspicious, they heard Angel sigh, and then slowly stretched out his right hand.
Angel has always worn a glove on his right hand. Everyone knows that, but they have never noticed before why he wears a glove and what does the glove look like?
It wasn't until this moment that they discovered that Angel's gloves actually had a pattern that was exactly the same as the silver pendant.
The same sword with two wings is also inserted among the thorns and roses, but one is the dark pattern of the glove, and the other is the carving on the hanging.
"Don't be surprised." Angel gently lifted up his sleeves, revealing the bracelet on his right wrist.
"My bracelet is engraved with the magic energy array of 'Boundless Silence', which can reduce the sense of presence. I used this effect on my right hand, so you may have seen the gloves occasionally, but you can't remember them."
"As for why I want to reduce the presence of my right hand, this is a secret of mine. I'm sorry that I can't tell you. Moreover, it has nothing to do with today's matter. But I can tell you in detail about this glove."
As soon as Angel finished speaking, the voice of the Black Earl came, with a hint of disdain: "Any details, aren't these the gloves of that guy Sanders? They just changed the color."
Today, Sanders mostly wears white gloves, occasionally burgundy gloves, or even fur gloves, in many styles. On the contrary, when he was young, he loved to wear black gloves.
This is probably what the wizard of Nice said: when you are young, you like to act heavy, but when you get older, you start to be sullen.
And Angel's gloves are the same gloves that Sanders used when he was young.
"Lord Black Earl is right. This glove is from my mentor, and the pattern on it is the emblem of the Iguro family."
After Angel finished speaking, everyone thought for a while before they realized, isn't Igulo the surname of Sanders? Then the Igulo family is the family to which Sanders belongs?
Wizard family? I don’t seem to have heard that Sanders’ family is an extraordinary family. I only heard that Sanders was born in a family of hereditary nobles.
So the Iguro family is that noble family?
"Since this is the emblem of the Iguluo family, does it mean that someone from your mentor's family has been here? Or, the Iguluo family is actually inherited from Naraku City?" Doakes asked.
Angel: "...If the Iguluo family can be passed down for thousands of years, where will you put the face of the Noah family?"
Doakes thinks about it. The Yiguluo family can only be inherited for a few hundred years. Naraku City fell thousands of years ago, so it cannot be from Naraku City.
But where did the silver ornaments on the Wu-eyed ghost come from?
"So, anyone from the Sanders family has been here?" The Black Earl also began to guess.
Angel: "I don't know either, but I know that the mentor has been here..."
Sanders' first ruins expedition was a garden maze. According to Sanders, it was an experience somewhere between a chase and a nightmare.
The so-called chase is because Sanders provoked a group of monsters and was chased by a bunch of monsters. The nightmare is that Sanders accidentally entered the nightmare world in the underground waterway.
For Sanders, it is definitely an unforgettable nightmare.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Black Earl: "You mean, maybe this guy Sanders landed here?"
Angel: "It's possible."
He still remembered that when he was in the Nightmare Realm, Sanders said that while exploring the garden maze, he lost the family dagger he carried while chasing a monster.
As for the dagger, Angel had seen it in the hand of Sanders, a young man projected from the nightmare world.
That dagger is the token of the Iguro family. Although it is sharp, its symbolic meaning is actually greater than its practical significance. Therefore, its appearance is full of the luxurious and low-key style of traditional aristocrats. It looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection
You can see that the carvings are very delicate, and the dagger's blade is engraved with the emblem of the Iguro family.
"You mean, that pendant might be the blade of the dagger? But, the pendant on the witch-eyed ghost is oval." Doakes asked suspiciously after hearing Angel's guess.
Angel: "Since this witch-eyed ghost already has the consciousness of self-management and aesthetic awareness, it is entirely possible for it to dismantle the dagger and polish it into an oval hanging ornament."
Angel gave an explanation, but Doakes still had some doubts: "If it is polished, its spatial imagination should be very strong. Otherwise, it would be difficult to polish such a standard ellipse, and even perfectly shape Igu.
The carved emblem of the Luo family remains in the middle."
Angel determined that it must be the dagger that Sanders dropped. After all, he had seen that dagger before. There was an arc-shaped carving on the handle of the dagger, which was exactly the same as this one. He wanted to polish it into a pendant.
, it shouldn’t be difficult. After all, this dagger is just a weapon used by ordinary people.
But there seems to be some truth to what Doakes said. If you want to polish it to such a standard, not only the shape is perfect, but the length of the carving from the edge is exactly the same, can Wumugui really do it?
Angel thought for a moment, then said to everyone in a hesitant and apologetic tone: "As the team leader, I shouldn't have done anything extraneous. But I still want to get that thing that is suspected of being a mentor back."
"Of course, the premise is that you agree."
Angel set his own rules at the beginning, not to flirt with monsters at will, and not to lose reason because of small profits. Others abided by it very well, but it was Angel himself who wanted to break this rule this time.
Therefore, even though Angel initiated a vote and request to everyone, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
It's said to be a vote, but in fact it mainly depends on the opinions of Doakes and Black Earl.
The two young apprentices basically regarded this adventure as a trip. So they didn't think there was anything wrong with Angel's request and agreed without hesitation.
However, their votes were basically ineffective. If Doakes or Black Earl had any objections, Angel would give up on this matter.
Although it is the mentor's belongings, it is not something that must be recycled. Therefore, Angel can give it up.
The first person to give the answer was the Black Earl: "It doesn't matter, if this guy really left this thing behind, I really want to see his expression when he sees it again. Remember, you must take a photo then.
.”
Angor could only respond vaguely to the Black Earl's bad taste. Angel didn't dare to take a photo in front of Sanders... However, he could create an illusion by himself and then record it with a photo stone. Anyway, the photo stone
It's impossible to tell whether the scene is an illusion or real. How it will be used depends on director Angel's ability.
After the Black Earl agreed, Angel looked at Doakes again. However, Doakes' current situation was a bit strange. Not only was he deep in thought, but his eyes also became a little subtle.
At the same time, Doakes' mood began to rise and fall.
Angel thought for a moment and realized that Doakes' inspiration must have come again.
But, what is Doakes' inspiration this time? About the witch-eyed ghost? Or about the pursuing soldiers, or about the way forward?
When Angel was guessing, he didn't know that at this time, there seemed to be a voice in Doakes's heart that was constantly mobilizing his thoughts, guiding Doakes with a "underlying" feeling.
Doakes also understood that inspiration had appeared again.
This time, the inspiration was for him to reject Angel.
As for the reason, inspiration gave Doakes a vague premonition, which roughly means: don't touch that witch-eyed ghost, that witch-eyed ghost will bring disaster.
It was originally a multiple-choice question that was not too difficult, but due to the emergence of inspiration, Doakes began to struggle.
To agree or not to agree?
His intuition told him that what the inspiration said seemed to be true. The witch-eyed ghost was so special, so there must be something special about it. Once the witch-eyed ghost was touched, it might lead to a series of troubles.
However, he didn’t want to be at odds with Angel. Even though he was verbally flattering and teasing Angel along the way, Doakes always walked the line and never really angered Angel.
On the contrary, it has given him a greater sense of presence - from the fact that when Angel faces Doakes now, his attitude is speechless rather than polite but distant, it can be seen that their relationship is actually getting closer through these harmless jokes.
of.
Now, Angel makes a solemn request. If he refuses, Angel will definitely not say anything, but he will probably return to his previous polite but distant attitude.
After weighing it for a while, Doakes suppressed the surge in his heart and said indifferently: "Ah? Is it my turn?"
Doakes yawned: "I was just thinking about something interesting and didn't notice this. Are you asking for my opinion? I definitely agree."
"I still feel that it doesn't look like it was polished. Maybe it's not the dagger your mentor lost, but something brought in by other members of the Iguro family." Doakes: "So, just to prove it.
I have to agree with this idea!"
What Doakes said was fair, but Angel could clearly feel the stirring emotions in his heart.
It is now basically certain that Doakes’ inspiration may be related to this choice.
Moreover, Doakes chose to go against his inspiration, otherwise he would not have been so emotionally agitated.
Angel thought for a moment:
Since Doakes chose to allow him to get the pendant, it was against his inspiration. This seems to indicate that taking the pendant may be a dangerous thing in Doakes's inspiration, or may it cause danger?
But even so, Doakes still chose to support Angel.
Regardless of whether Doakes made this choice because he valued Angel more, or because he just didn't believe in inspiration, it actually didn't matter.
At least Doakes's favorability with Angel has increased significantly.
"If you must take it, be careful. It's best to avoid being discovered by that witch-eyed ghost." At this moment, Angel's heart suddenly heard a private message from the Black Earl.
Obviously, the Black Earl also noticed Doakes' situation, guessed the inspiration, and may have begun to use the topic in this matter.
"I see."
The sudden appearance of inspiration made the direction of this matter weird. But this did not affect Angel's actions, and he would even thank Doakes for the inspiration.
There can't be any reason for the inspiration to come into play in this matter. There must be something special about that witch-eyed ghost, and it might really cause danger.
Therefore, inspiration can be regarded as a disguised reminder to Angel not to act too high-profile.
In the past, if Angel wanted to get the silver pendant, he would have acted without any scruples; but now, he decided to listen to the Black Earl and get the pendant without being discovered by the witch-eyed ghost.
But, what should I do if I want to avoid attracting the attention of the witch-eyed ghost and take off its hanging ornaments at the same time?
