As soon as Angel opened his eyes, he heard Vai's excited voice in his ears.
Angel felt his body first and made sure there was nothing strange before he said to Vai, "Did I disappear before?"
Vai nodded fiercely: "Yes, originally we thought that the adult would be like me and come to his senses in the blink of an eye. But unexpectedly, the red light directly sucked the adult into the box. We waited outside for a long time before the adult finally came out.
Already."
"Waiting for a long time?" Angel felt that although the time in the box was a bit long, it should only be about half an hour. Is this considered a long time?
"Actually, you disappeared for about three minutes." At this time, Doakes's voice came from the reconnected psychic belt: "As for why Vai said it took a long time, probably... it's probably because of his time measurement and ours.
It’s different.”
Angel frowned, not understanding what Doakes meant. But it didn't matter, knowing that he had only disappeared for three minutes, Angel could probably estimate the frequency of Sicia's so-called increase in thoughts.
"Are you okay? Your psychic tether was broken just now, which shocked me. If you don't come out, I will use my red sword to cut off the broken box." Doakes said
When he came back, his expression was extremely solemn.
"Sir, don't listen to Doakes. Just now I suggested attacking the box, and Doakes said something might happen. I also suggested that I go alone and hand over the treasure to see if I can find the lord, but Doakes said
Si said again, let's wait." Vai said indignantly: "He is very good at showing off now, but he is the one who shrinks the most!"
Faced with Vai's accusation, Doakes was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said in a tone of experience: "You are a typical academic meeting a practical person. You don't understand but you still point fingers."
Without waiting for Vai to retort, Doakes continued: "Look, are your adults worried? The Black Earl is not worried, so why are you worrying alone?"
Vai: "But..."
Doakes: "It's nothing. If you don't believe me, then I'll let Kael tell you the reason."
After Doakes finished speaking, he pushed Kael.
Kael really didn't want to get involved in the water fight, but Doakes glared at him from behind, and he could only sigh and said: "I don't know what Lord Doakes wants me to say.
But as far as my personal understanding is concerned, there is nothing unusual about the mobile illusion we are in, which means Master Chao Dimension is in good condition. In this case, we just need to wait for Master to return."
Doakes: "Yes, that's what I meant!"
This chorus made Vai a little confused. But what Kael said seemed to make sense. He had left the mobile illusion, so he really didn't think of this for a while.
"I believe that Doakes will cut off the box as soon as possible when I am in trouble; I also believe that Vai is really worried about me. So, you are all going in the same direction, so there is no need to argue anymore." An
Geer sighed. He had just come out and didn't explain anything. Instead, he acted as a peacemaker... He was really caught off guard.
"Let's get back to the topic. You must have been in the box for a long time, right? What happened? Did you get the 'ticket'?" At this time, the Black Earl finally spoke. He controlled the stone slab and flew to Angel.
.
Angel took the slate and replied: "Indeed, I stayed in the box for nearly half an hour and communicated with a woman named Xicia inside."
"Woman? Is it the owner of the female voice I heard before?" Vai asked curiously.
Angel nodded: "Yes, it was Sicia who kicked you out earlier. To be precise, she was once a woman, and now she has turned into a box. As for why she turned into a box, she didn't tell me."
"I exchanged a lot of information about wood spirits with her and got a very interesting clue. I will explain this to you in detail when I leave here later."
After a pause: "In addition, we also exchanged some other content. Including the information here, but Xicia is also bound by an oath, so many things cannot be said, but he hinted at me some things, just... a lot of hints at me
I don’t understand either.”
When Angel said this, his eyes were slightly sad. It was hard for him to show his understanding in the box, but there was no need to be too reserved outside.
The Black Earl also saw Angel's expression and had some thoughts in his mind, but did not interrupt.
"I've roughly asked about the tickets. What Miss Sisia needs is not treasures defined by the world, but some items with 'meaning'. Even if this item is a mortal thing, it can be called a treasure."
Doakes: "So, that gold coin of yours is also a treasure? I'm not talking about the devil's gold coin."
Angel nodded: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's a demon gold coin or another gold coin. So, what we have to do now is that you find your own treasure and go to Miss Ciccia to exchange for the ticket."
"Everyone needs to exchange tickets?" Doakes looked unhappy: "You get the tickets, and the rest of us can just follow you."
Angel: "You can try to do this. However, I don't know whether the consequences are good or bad. Of course, you can also try to enter my exile space, if you believe me."
Doakes's expression became tangled. There were very few precious items with meaning on him. Each item had a very symbolic meaning, and he really didn't want to exchange it for the so-called tickets.
But if there is no exchange, there will definitely be some unpredictable risks. How high are these risks, and will they be fatal? It is difficult to say.
As for going to Angel's exile space, Doakes believed that Angel wouldn't do anything to them, but it was okay to go there once, but wouldn't it be too embarrassing to go again.
The expressions of other people are also entangled. It takes a lot of courage for them to give up such meaningful items easily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Vai suddenly asked: "I was kicked out for the first time, can I go in again?"
Angel: "Yes, but you can stay in my exile space. I will release you when you reach the prison ladder."
Vai shook his head, looking like a passionate young man about to burst into flames: "No, I want to fight side by side with you!"
Angel: "..." Going up the stairs shouldn't involve fighting, right?
Angel looked at Kael again: "What about you, do you want to go to the exile space?"
Kael also shook his head, with very complicated emotions in his eyes: "Thank you, sir, but it still doesn't work. I have something that I have thought about giving up for a long time, but I really can't let it go... This time, there is an external motivation for me to give up.
I, I will try to give up."
Kael had his own choice, and Angel naturally would not force it. He just said softly: "Giving up does not mean abandonment, nor does it mean forgetting. Saying goodbye is also a kind of growth in itself."
Kael was stunned for a moment, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he nodded gently to Angel: "I understand, thank you, sir."
After talking to Kael, Vai popped up again: "I almost forgot, do my adults also need to count the tickets?"
Everyone paused for a moment. Yes, Lord Black Earl is just a stone slab. Although there is a nose on it, it is not a complete living body.
It shouldn’t be counted as a ticket, right?
After all, the Black Earl can stay on Angel's body as a pendant. Do you need to charge an entrance fee for a pendant?
Angel also thought about this, pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't ask about this, but if I thought about it, I probably wouldn't need it."
However, as soon as Angel finished speaking, the Black Earl said: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. I will naturally ask for the tickets."
The Black Earl's words were firm, and everyone could hear that he would definitely want this ticket.
Angel glanced at the Black Earl and nodded without any objection.
The Black Earl's meaning was already obvious. Since there was an intelligent being in the box who could communicate, he would definitely go and meet him even if it wasn't for the tickets.
"The Sisia you are talking about is willing to answer your questions, and even hints at your answers to things that cannot be said. Is it because of what you did?" Black Earl asked.
The purpose of the Black Earl is obvious, and given his status, there is no need to hide it.
Angel: "I made a deal with her. I can't say the content of the deal yet, but I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with our exploration or even this underground waterway."
"This transaction is not over yet. Sisia's answer to my question is just part of her transaction to me. But what I traded with her is not ready yet."
"I will set up a private barrier here later and prepare the things to trade with her inside. When I am ready, I will enter the box again and trade with her."
"Before that, you can exchange tickets with her first."
This is not the answer that Earl Black wants to get. But he is in Angel's hand at this moment and can easily feel the blood flow, heart rate and all physiological reactions in Angel's body.
The Black Earl was certain that Angel was not lying. His deal with Sisia, this underground waterway, and this exploration had nothing to do with it.
It should be a private transaction.
Angel will also make a special barrier to prepare the transaction items. Considering Angel's identity, maybe it is... some alchemy prop? And it may be the kind of secret that is difficult to say or has special effects.
Alchemy tools?
The Black Earl thought about this, but in the end he didn't ask in detail.
Since Sisia is willing to "trade", then she can trade with Angel, but why can't she trade with him?
…
After Angel explained the situation of the treasure, he signaled to everyone that they could exchange tickets at any time.
Angel himself began to set up a privacy barrier, and Ermi and Su Ling were called out.
Everyone thought that Angel wanted to make gold, so they didn't say anything, but they were thinking about themselves, what treasures should they use in exchange?
While Angel was setting up the barrier, he was also watching the progress of others... and the treasures in their hands.
Anyway, his gold coins were shown to everyone, so it’s not too much for him to take a look at other people’s treasures, right?
With this idea in mind, Angel looked at them one by one.
The first person to make the deal was Vai. Unlike the others, he didn't seem to care too much about the treasure, and the expression on his face was not very entangled. He casually took out a dark and glowing crystal ball.
You can tell at a glance that this crystal ball is a product of alchemy. However, Angel can feel that this crystal ball contains a strong aura of death. It is not made by alchemy, but is accumulated over time.
"I remember, isn't this the medium through which you use the smell of death, and you have used it for many years. You just take it out and exchange it for a ticket that is not really important?" Doakes said in surprise.
Vai: "This thing is indeed very meaningful to me, and it is very convenient to use. However, your Excellency asked me to get rid of this crystal ball a long time ago, because the breath of death is too strong. Although it can increase my
I have the ability to smell death, but if I keep relying on it, it will be difficult for me to improve my abilities."
Vai scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "But I really can't bear to throw away this thing that has been used for decades, so I keep it with me."
Doakes: "You will do it this time?"
Vai: "It has to be replaced after all. Moreover, after replacing it, I can also find an alchemist to help me refine a new one. The new one will definitely be better than the old one."
When Vai said, "Look for an alchemist to refine it," he glanced at Angel secretly.
Angel happened to catch Vai's eye because he had been looking at other people's "treasures".
Angel knew what Vai meant without Vai having to say anything.
Vai most likely wants to ask him to help refine a new crystal ball...
Angel needs to be a good team leader and maintain his demeanor. In addition, Vai has defended himself many times before, so he is really embarrassed to refuse.
Under Vai's expectant gaze, Angel smiled dryly: "If you don't mind waiting, I..."
"I don't mind! I don't mind at all!" Vai answered immediately.
Angel: "When you have time, tell me your specific requirements and I will take a look at the situation."
Vai nodded wildly.
Angel sighed slightly in his heart, and then said seriously in a slightly joking tone: "But if you ask me to refine it, the price is not cheap."
Vai: "No problem, you can make any price at that time!"
He didn't even say anything, yet he dared to promise. As expected of the Noah family, rich and powerful...
Having said this, Angel could only smile and nod. However, his heart was extremely bitter. He had finally escaped Master Rhine's crystal ball nightmare, but Vai had to refine the crystal ball again...
In fact, wizards and crystal balls are really not standard features.
…
Because he saw Vai's treasure and met his eyes, Angel was forced to accept an alchemy order. However, as an alchemist, Angel would not really reject alchemy.
Therefore, Angel had no intention of restraining himself and still looked at everyone's treasures unscrupulously.
Wai's treasure has been with Wai for decades, and during the period when Wai opened his shop, many people came to Wai to divine their death. Therefore, the crystal ball was stained with the breath of death of countless people. This is indeed a very "
"Meaning" treasure.
Sisia should not reject Vai this time.
After looking at Vai, Angel then looked at Kael.
Kael had said before that he had something he wanted to give up, but he just couldn't let it go.
When Angel comforted him, Kael's eyes were still red.
Angel guessed at that time that what Kael wanted to give up might be related to emotions, such as the family relationship between heaven and man, the lost friendship, or the love that could not be obtained.
But when Kael took out what he wanted to give up, Angel's expression froze for a moment.
What Kael took out was... a piece of crumpled brown paper.
