Should we talk here or go to the abode of the wise?
On this issue, Angel is actually still a little hesitant. He personally prefers to go to the residence of the wise man, because if they want to go to the legacy, they must pass through the hall of the wise man. But he is not alone now, and he must also consider it.
What other people think.
The wise master probably also saw Angel's hesitation, and he said calmly: "You can discuss it before making a decision."
After speaking, he assumed a stay-away attitude.
At the same time, the voice of the Black Earl came from the psychic belt: "The energy fluctuations dominated by the wise men began to restrain themselves after closing their eyes, and they are not monitoring our conversation now."
In other words, they can now discuss and talk in the psychic belt.
"Really? He has such good intentions? Then he shouldn't be able to hear me scolding him now, right?" There is no doubt that it is Doakes who speaks with a mean tone.
As soon as Doakes finished speaking, within a few seconds, he exaggeratedly shouted in the psychic belt: "Are you lying to me? The wise master is looking in my direction!"
"Master Wise, I didn't really scold you. I was just saying it out of fun."
The former sentence is complaining about the Black Earl, and the latter sentence is begging for mercy from the wise master.
Black Earl: "...I don't have to lie to you."
Doakes: "I don't believe it."
At this moment, the wise master said calmly: "Your thoughts are all written on your expression. If you want to take the opportunity to scold me in the psychic belt, it is best to be like the person next to you and keep your expressions secret."
After the wise master finished speaking, he opened the third eye on his forehead and glanced meaningfully at the person next to Doakes... Vai.
Vai probably didn't expect that the wise master would suddenly point his finger at him. His eyes widened, and he stuttered and explained: "I, I...I didn't, didn't..."
"You didn't say it out loud, but you were cursing in your heart." The wise man ruled: "And it's been more than once."
Vai's expression instantly became a little ugly, because the wise master was right...
As a nerd, he rarely goes out and rarely socializes. The only time he needs to socialize is when he faces customers in the fortune telling shop.
His divination shop was also called the "Death Shop" in Mesoria, so the customers who came either thought they were going to die or were worried that they were going to die, so they came to Vai for divination and asked about death. And Chaoran
The "perception" of the customer is often real. If the customers in the store persist in their persistence, they will die in all likelihood. Death is a very sensitive matter. Even if you know that you may die, if others say it, you will still be shocked.
It makes people uncomfortable. It even feels like...are you secretly cursing me?
Because of this, many guests are actually very difficult to deal with. After all, many of the guests have good backgrounds. In order not to cause trouble, Vai does not want to fall out with him, so the most he does is smile on the outside while constantly criticizing in his heart.
It can be said that slander has become his daily habit.
For him, it feels good to criticize him for a while, and he feels good to criticize him all the time.
When he was watching Angel's live broadcast just now, he couldn't stop slandering in his heart. Except for his own master, and Angel whose "hot period" had not expired, he had slandered everyone else. Many of them
Kes and Wise Lord are the most criticized.
Especially when the wise master suddenly left the illusion of live broadcast, he was startled at that time. He thought that the wise master was taking the opportunity to attack the earth ring wall, and he kept cursing in his heart.
But what Vai didn't expect was that he had never overturned his car. This time, because of encountering the wise master, he not only overturned his car, but also directly hit the south wall.
Vai's expression turned red and white, and he didn't know what to say.
It doesn't seem right to explain it. It seems even more wrong to not explain it.
When Vai was hesitant and didn't know what to do, Angel spoke:
"These are just trivial matters. Why should the wise master care about them?"
While Angel was talking, he also deliberately exposed the wood spirit behind him. When the wood spirit saw the third eye of the wise master open again, it was too frightened to understand. It curled up its head and did not dare to look.
The wise master looked at Angel, then at the wood spirit, and finally sighed, and did not continue talking about this topic, but closed his third eye again.
As the third eye closed, the cold and solemn atmosphere around him began to relax again.
Vai finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Angel with gratitude and admiration.
Angel was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Vai.
It's not that I'm thin-skinned, but because... Vai's mind was seen through by the wise master. In fact, a large part of the reason was caused by Angel.
The reason why the wise master could see that Vai was secretly scolding him was because he sensed the targeted negative emotions Vai released towards him.
Because wizards have mental power as a natural barrier, their control over emotions is very stable. Even if they are a being at the level of a wise master, it is difficult to directly sense the emotions of others if they do not have the corresponding perception talent.
Variety.
And the reason why Vai's emotions were so easily detected by the master is because of the live broadcast of the illusion...
When Vai was in the illusion, he regarded the illusion as his real body, but his emotions were released unscrupulously.
The Wise Lord can easily distinguish between reality and illusion. In reality, Vai's body is near the Wise Lord. He releases targeted negative emotions towards the Wise Lord at such a close distance, let alone a wise man with keen emotional perception.
Even an ordinary person can probably vaguely sense hostility.
This can also be regarded as a drawback of live broadcast illusion.
It is precisely for this reason that Angel took the initiative to speak for Vai.
"Are all my thoughts really written on my expression?" Doakes continued to mutter to himself in the psychic belt.
"Ahem, these little things are not important." Angel didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject and said: "Let's get back to the topic. Let's discuss it. Should we talk to him here or go to the Hall of the Wise? And
, regarding the next issue of whether to stay or leave, as well as the distribution of interests, I think we still need to discuss it again."
The first half of Angel's sentence is actually not that important. He is more concerned about the second half.
The so-called retention and distribution of benefits are naturally related to the choices of Black Earl and Doakes.
Because each of them represents an interest. Black Earl and Vai represent the interests of the Noah family, and they are also the parties with the largest vested interests in this exploration.
Doakes and Kael represent the "additional interest faction", and it is very likely that they will not be able to obtain the maximum benefit this time.
However, both Doakes and Kal-El's contribution to this exploration was quite high.
Kael is the true owner of the key; Doakes' inspiration helped them avoid many dangers and avoid detours.
In any case, their contribution cannot be ignored.
Angel and the Black Count have reached a secret deal and can ignore it for the time being; however, the interests of Doakes and Kael also need to be protected.
Especially Doakes.
Along the way, although he often expressed the attitude that he must make a fortune from this exploration, when he did encounter something of some value, he still distributed it as needed instead of forcibly taking it for himself.
But in fact, as a wandering wizard with no background, Doakes is the person who needs the most benefit, even if it is just immediate benefit.
Angel knew this very well. Therefore, although he said from time to time that Doakes only saw immediate interests, when it came time to redistribute interests, Angel still had to stand up and speak.
Moreover, as the leader of this exploration, he must also bear this responsibility.
As for how to protect their interests, it naturally needs to be guaranteed by the party with the largest vested interest, the Black Earl.
Although Angel considers himself to be a party with vested interests, his interests lie in the nightmare world, not the remaining places in reality. Therefore, he can shamelessly skip it.
Anyway, others don’t know what the legacy means to him...
Hearing Angel's words, the most surprised person was undoubtedly Doakes. Before, Doakes learned that the legacy was related to Noah, and he had actually thought about this situation.
However, Doakes didn't care at the time. From his perspective, he actually didn't give much credit. He was just fishing in troubled waters.
Moreover, his inspiration talent has also awakened. This alone is a great harvest. What's more, he also maintains a "friendship" with Angel - this is of course what Doakes thinks; so, Doakes
I don't feel that I need to be treated favorably.
But if there really was "preferential treatment", Doakes would naturally not refuse it. He just didn't expect that it would be Angel who proposed the "preferential treatment".
Doakes hesitated for a moment and said: "Whether it's here or going to the Hall of Wise Men, as for the question of whether to stay or leave, I will definitely stay."
After Doakes finished speaking, he glanced at Kael, who immediately followed suit: "I am the same as Lord Red Sword. I, I haven't finished recording the historical sites here."
Angel nodded without saying anything, but looked at the Black Earl.
The Black Earl had probably considered this issue before, and without hesitation, he said directly: "Where to talk to the wise master, you will make the decision. Whether to stay or to distribute benefits, you can talk to me now, or you can wait until you leave here.
,Talk to me."
Although the Black Earl threw this question back, his words had already shown that he would protect the interests of others.
As for Doakes and Kal-El, it depends on their own choice whether they want to talk to the Black Earl now or after they leave here.
It may seem that it doesn't matter whether we talk now or not, but it actually determines whether their profits will be more or less in the end.
When we talk now, because we don’t know what the benefits will be from the legacy land, there is no standard value for the benefits we are asking for. When they talk now, they are betting that this standard value is low, and the benefits they ask for will far exceed this standard value.
Without talking, there is a standard value. Then it becomes the Black Earl to talk to them.
The former may be a big bet, while the latter is allocated based on standard values and will not yield extremely high benefits.
In other words, talking now is a feast for gambling dogs; talking away is a smooth road for the steady.
If you want to be a betting dog or a stable one, you have to look at Doakes and Kalel.
Based on Angel's understanding of the personalities of Doakes and Kael, he guessed that there was a high probability that Doakes would choose to talk now, while Kael would be more stable and would choose to leave the talks.
But what surprised him was that the final result was completely opposite to what he imagined. Doakes chose to be cautious, while Kael chose to be aggressive.
As for the reasons, the reasons given by Doakes and Kael are surprisingly similar.
To sum it up, just one sentence: "As long as you can get benefits, it doesn't matter how much."
When Doakes said these words, Angel felt that his emotions were one of satisfaction and joy. This meant that Doakes really believed that no matter how much the benefit was, as long as he got the benefit, it would be good.
This is actually not in line with Angel's impression of Doakes. In his opinion, Doakes should be more impulsive and willing to gamble. But after thinking about it carefully, he seems to be able to understand Doakes.
When Doakes was in Princess Town, he clearly expressed his desire to intervene in the turmoil in the Guman Kingdom and gain benefits from it.
At the time, Angel thought he was radical, but now that he thinks about it, Doakes may not be radical. He just wants to get a piece of the pie. After all, as a wandering wizard, he does not have as big an intelligence source as the wizard organization, and without a backer, it is difficult to
Obtaining high profits at one time. Therefore, no matter what is profitable, he wants to get involved. What he wants is not huge profits, but just wants to enjoy the autumn breeze.
On the contrary, Kael, although he is also a wandering wizard, he has the 'Void World Walker' Aesos as his backer, and he can also rely on his skills to make a living, and has a very stable source of income.
From a certain point of view, Kael is very similar to Angel. Because they can rely on their skills to make a living, they are qualified to gamble. Regardless of whether they lose or win, it has little impact on them.
This is also the reason why Kael chose to "talk now".
Of course, if Doakes really wants to go all out, he can actually obtain continuous and stable benefits through "hunting", and his benefits will definitely be more than Kal-El's.
However, Doakes and Kael are different after all. One is a formal wizard and the other is just an apprentice. Their desire thresholds are different, and different patterns will also lead to different psychological expectations.
It can be said that various factors determined their choice. It was not simply "character" that determined their choice, as Angel initially thought.
After Doakes and Kal-El made their choices, the Black Earl contacted Kal-El first and talked with him for two minutes through the encrypted psychic tether.
At the end of the conversation, Kael appeared neither worried nor happy, and he could not tell whether the benefits provided by the Black Earl were in line with Kael's expectations.
However, now that they have finished talking, it means that both parties have agreed to the other's conditions, which can be regarded as a guarantee of settlement.
As for Doakes, we can only know whether he will be worried or happy until he leaves the underground waterway.
At this time, the Black Earl looked at Angel again.
