In other words, this seems to be a broken but continuous staircase. In fact, it was once broken and missing, but was later reintegrated.
Reintegrating the broken stairs will involve a double connection between the material world and the energy world, that is, the connection between the stone steps and the magic energy array. The difficulty here is extraordinary.
Previously, the wise master had vaguely mentioned that it was not him who repaired the magic energy array here, but a person they would eventually meet.
Could it be the behind-the-scenes being hiding in the dark and letting the wise men come out to stop them?
While Angel was thinking silently, everyone had already arrived in front of the door.
"The door is actually made of wood. This doesn't look like a prison." Doakes muttered.
"Then what do you think is like a prison?" the wise master asked with a smile.
"If nothing else, the cell should at least be able to trap people. This wood is not very strong at first glance. It is not as hard as the previous dense stone floor." Doakes said while gesturing: "In front of the door.
This platform is quite spacious, and it’s okay to put a few gargoyles as guards. If that doesn’t work, alchemy puppets can also be arranged.”
Seeing Doakes' eyes getting brighter and brighter as he talked, Angel finally couldn't help but said: "Density stone is not good either. Although it can be preserved for a long time, it will still shatter to pieces when encountering a void storm. The best,
Even if you use Void Secret Pattern Stone, it will last for a long time and will not be afraid of void storms. It is also the main material for casting spells in the planes. It is expensive, easy to carry, and easy to identify. Red, you said, right?"
When Doakes heard the first half, he was still listening with interest and nodded repeatedly; but when Angel said, "It's expensive and easy to carry," Doakes immediately reacted: "I was thinking about why you suddenly
Agreeing with me is indeed a lie. Do you think I am such a superficial person?"
"Yeah." Angel nodded.
Doakes looked angrily: "Well... what a lousy sandworm! I'm just raising reasonable doubts about the anomalies here, and maybe I can help you find some clues."
"Oh, then I misunderstood you." Angel said these words expressionlessly, making people feel no trace of apology and could only see the perfunctory expression.
Doakes wanted to complain about something, but he held it back. Because, in his heart, he was really the same as Angel imagined... Even when he was thinking about what material to use to make the prison door, the first thing that came to his mind was
The one that flashed past was the Void Secret Pattern Stone.
How did this guy guess his thoughts so accurately?
Could it be this live broadcast illusion?
While Doakes was thinking wildly, the voice of the wise master came to his ears again: "What you just said is right. The purpose of establishing a prison is to - trap people."
"But to trap a person, does it have to be a solid cage? Also, if a person is trapped in the material world, does it mean he is trapped?"
"Also, do you think that if all the doors of the prison ladder are opened, the prisoners inside can escape?"
"That's true. The prison ladder was built in the hinterland of the underground labyrinth thousands of years ago. If a prisoner really wants to escape, it will be difficult to escape." Doakes: "However, according to the wishes of the wise master, the existence of the cage is not
Isn't it necessary? The prison ladder is not necessary either."
The wise ruler said: "The existence of the cage is of course necessary. Even if its door is open, it will always remind you that you cannot escape. This is your destination."
When the wise master said these words, he still squinted and smiled, with three eyes narrowed at the same time, and with the triangular structure of the glasses, he was like a clown, as funny as he wanted.
However, neither Doakes nor anyone else could laugh.
They are not stupid either. The wise master seems to be smiling, but from his words, one can understand the sadness in his heart.
Isn't this huge underground labyrinth a prison cell for the wise master? In addition to sticking to one place, ten thousand years of solitude is also the punishment for the wise master. This punishment is even worse than the prisoners who died in the prison ladder.
To be more terrifying.
While everyone was still lamenting the plight of the wise man, Angel's voice broke the silent atmosphere: "If we look at it more broadly, isn't this continent and this world also a prison?"
Angel turned his head and glanced at the wise master, and then said calmly: "It's time to go in and take a look, or do you think the wood spirit is outside?"
After Angel finished speaking, he ignored everyone and stepped directly into the wooden door on the first floor.
The wise master looked at Angel's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
…
Doakes, who had recovered from the emotional atmosphere, felt slightly strange in his heart when he looked at Angel who had gone away.
Angel suddenly interrupted the immersive atmosphere just now, which was a slightly rude behavior in itself. Based on Doakes' understanding of Angel, although he often has a bad taste, when it comes to etiquette, he has always been superficial.
Very sufficient.
This time something was wrong.
Doakes couldn't help but look at Earl Black, wanting to see Earl Black's reaction, but found that Earl Black's slate was quietly facing the wise master.
The wise master looked at the Black Earl with a smile.
Noticing Doakes' glance, the wise master also smiled back at him.
Seeing this smile, Doakes felt a thump in his heart.
He now understands what is wrong, what kind of person the wise master is, how could he not be able to control his emotions after staying in the underground labyrinth for so long?
The perceptual atmosphere, and the fact that they thought they had sensed the sadness of a wise man dominating their hearts, thought about it carefully, how could this be possible? How could someone be called a wise man and be seen through so easily?
In other words, the wise man dominates the atmosphere that was deliberately created just now?
Why did he do this? Just to deceive them?
No. Deception is not the purpose. Using this method to test someone, or in other words, to obtain certain information, is the purpose of the wise man?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While Doakes was thinking to himself, the wise master smiled and said: "This live broadcast of the illusion is a bit interesting, and the person who releases the illusion is even more interesting."
"What do you mean?" Doakes asked doubtfully.
"This illusion can vaguely touch the emotions in your heart, don't you think it's interesting?" After the wise man finished speaking, he walked into the wooden door without further explanation.
Doakes understood something at this time: "He, he was testing Jin's ability just now?"
The target of Doakes' inquiry was naturally the Black Earl.
The Black Earl snorted lightly: "Do you think he was just testing Jin? Didn't you give any emotional feedback?"
The Black Earl's meaning was very straightforward. The Wise Master was not only testing Angel with this, but was also looking at everyone's feedback.
To put it bluntly, you just rely on your words to take advantage of them when they are not prepared to exaggerate their emotions, raise the atmosphere, and gain feedback.
The only two people who could see through it were Angel and Earl Black. But their seeing through also showed their own uniqueness, and also brought new information to the wise master.
This is indeed the case. In the heart of the wise master at this time, he became less and less convinced that Angel was a descendant of Noah.
However, the Black Earl's Noah status is getting higher and higher.
…
On the other side, Angel was also feeling slightly depressed. Because the wise master's temptation seemed to be only done with his mouth, but in fact it was through his shell of live broadcasting the illusion that everyone entered a state of empathy.
This made Angel regret that he should not have included the wise master in the illusion.
Fortunately, the main testers of the Wise Man are him and the Black Earl. The Black Earl is not afraid of temptation. As a clone, the Black Earl is full of confidence. No matter what the Wise Man wants to do, as soon as he dies, the real body will come to cause trouble. When the time comes,
, as a wise master who passively sticks to one side, if he does not abandon the underground labyrinth, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage. But once he abandons it, his ten thousand years of waiting will be in vain. Therefore, the Black Count can sit back and relax.
And Angel himself has given up resistance. The wise master definitely knows that he is not a descendant of Noah, and now he is just testing his ability.
If you can see it, you can see it. It doesn't matter to Angel anyway. As for the ability to test, the wise man tested it wrong.
He thought that Angel could sense emotions because the illusion enveloped them and the power of illusion was monitoring their emotions. In fact, this immersive live broadcast illusion was really just an ordinary illusion. Angel's emotional perception
, comes from his talent.
Therefore, although the wise master probed some information, it was both right and wrong, so it was not too bad.
However, after this experience, Angel gained a better understanding of the ability of wise men to dominate.
This ability does not refer to killing techniques. It refers to the verbal skills and performance abilities dominated by wise men.
Without consuming any energy, he acted like a clown, but his heart did not fluctuate at all. He looked at all living beings with a clear mind, and with just a few words, he heightened the atmosphere to a place of empathy.
It has to be said that the qualitative change that occurs when a wise man dominates this kind of immortality and has accumulated countless foundations is quite terrifying.
While Angel was thinking, there was obvious movement behind him. Apparently, the others had come to their senses at this time and walked towards the door.
Angel also put away the emotions in his heart, temporarily put aside the idea of confronting the wise man mentally, and began to observe this not unfamiliar room.
…
After everyone entered the wooden door, they almost all had the same consensus in their hearts——
"Isn't this a little... too small?"
The size of the room is about the same as a single room in a hotel, which sounds okay, but you have to know that this is a prison. They thought that there would be a corridor behind the wooden door, and different cells would be separated in the corridor. But with them
What is completely different from your imagination is that there is such a small room directly behind the wooden door.
According to the wise master's answer, this is the prison cell. The first floor cell is indeed only this big.
Looking at this cramped room, even Kael, who only focused on manipulating the image stone along the way, couldn't help but say: "Build such a long staircase just for such a small room?"
Isn't it a bit overkill?
"Or are the other rooms here damaged?"
The wise man heard Kael's question, but did not respond. He just smiled and glanced across the cramped room.
It was Angel who said: "There are no other rooms here, there is only this one room. There is a reason why the room is so small."
After a pause, under the gaze of everyone, Angel said softly: "This is an important node of the magic energy array inside the Prison Ladder."
The wise master looked at Angel with some surprise: "How did you figure it out?"
"I didn't see it, I just guessed casually. But now, I can basically confirm that my guess is correct." Angel looked at the wise master, and the other person's reaction told Angel that his guess was correct.
of.
The wise master chuckled: "So, you are deceiving me?"
Angel ignored the question and didn't answer. You deceived me and I deceived you. Anyway, we all interacted with each other to test each other's information.
Angel walked to one side of the room and while looking around, he said: "The bed is made of sea cypress wood, the table is made of sea poplar wood, and the floor is made of sea birch... Everything here is made of deep sea wood.
.”
"Don't you think it's strange that Deep Sea Wood appears here?"
"What's strange? The production capacity of deep sea wood is large, the price is not high, and the energy-conducting effect is also very good." The wise master asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Because the time is unreasonable." Angel: "The biggest effect of Deep Sea Wood is to promote energy transmission. However, have you ever heard that Deep Sea Wood has immortal properties?"
As soon as Angel finished speaking, Kael seemed to have thought of something and touched the bed made of deep sea wood beside him.
Kael's movements were not gentle, but the wooden bed only shook with his strength, without any signs of decay.
"How come it's intact? Thousands of years have passed and nothing has happened?" Kael asked in confusion.
"This is the abnormality I want to say. I know that due to the growth environment of deep sea wood, its resistance to external pressure is much higher than that of other woods. However, no matter how pressure-resistant wood is, it cannot escape the corrosion of time. But now come
Look, time has not corroded it, the large shaking movement has not caused it to fall apart, and most importantly, not even the void storm has completely destroyed it."
Wise Master: "Is this how you inferred that this is the node of the magic energy array?"
Angel shook his head: "I said, I didn't infer it, I just thought it was strange here. Looking at these immortal trees, I made a guess."
"When will deep sea wood not rot? The answer is that if it carries a large amount of energy of the same nature, it will greatly change the decay benchmark of deep sea wood. Therefore, I guess this room once carried huge energy, and this energy is mild.
It is not violent and has the same nature as the Deep Sea Wood. It is only through the long-term influence of energy that the Deep Sea Wood maintains its immortal posture."
"And what energy can meet the requirements of: strength, stability and durability? The only energy nodes I can think of are the energy nodes of the magic energy array."
After listening to Angel's words, everyone still had a lot of doubts, but judging from the reaction of the wise master, Angel should be right. This is indeed an important node of the magic energy array.
