The air was already very silent, but after the wood spirit squeaked, it became even more stagnant.
Angel really couldn't hold his face, and he hesitated and said again: "How about letting the wise master ask it? It will answer, and I will prove it, which will be more true."
The wise master glanced at the wood spirit who continued to pretend to be dead, and sighed softly in his heart: "No need, it's up to you to answer."
He knew Mu Ling too well, and it was impossible for Mu Ling to say complete words in front of so many people.
Angel's previous ability to make the wood spirit make a "squeaking" sound had already surprised the wise master. If it were any more, it would be almost impossible.
After a pause, the wise master continued: "Who did you refer to as the 'him' you just told the wood spirit to see?"
From what Angor said to the wood spirit, the wise master has already captured the key point. Perhaps the wood spirit is willing to leave with Angor because Angor gave the wood spirit a promise. And there is a key figure in this promise:
he.
Who is this him? Why does the wood spirit want to see him? In order to see him, it even voluntarily left its safest comfort zone.
"About 'him'..." Angel did not answer immediately, but mentioned another matter: "I wonder if the wise master still remembers that I asked a question before: what is the true nature of the wood spirit."
The Wise Man Rules: "Remember."
His answer at that time was: I don’t know. Because the wood spirit never mentioned his own identity, the wise ruler did not ask in the end due to various external factors and the character of the wood spirit. He just made guesses based on the nature of the birth spirit.
It is something closely related to human beings, whether it is jewelry, weapons or handicrafts, etc...
At that time, the wise master thought that the reason why Angel asked about the true nature of the wood spirit was to find traces of the wood spirit in the prison ladder.
But now that Angel has brought up this issue again, it is obvious that there is something else going on.
As for what the specific inside story was, after thinking about it for a moment, the wise master already had a vague guess in his mind...
Angel: "The wise master will definitely be familiar with the trajectory of the wood spirit after its birth. The master feels that in its trajectory, there are people who have profoundly affected it, making it willing to leave at all costs, just to see him.
he?"
Although Angel is asking a question, both Angel and the wise master know that this question has one and only one answer.
"No."
"It was born in a place where witch-eyed ghosts are prevalent. It hid and stumbled to an alien space. Under the guidance of Miss Sisia, it came to the prison ladder. In the process, it met Sisia.
Except for the lady, I haven’t encountered any living creatures that I can communicate with.”
"If Miss Sisia was the person it wanted to see at all costs, it would have left long ago."
"So, there must be someone else it wants to see."
When Angel said this, he looked at the wise master. He believed that the wise master should already have the answer.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the latter whispered: "What it wants to see is the original owner of its body?"
"That's right." Angel said it all to this point. It would be strange if the wise master still couldn't guess it.
Angel: "The reason is that simple. I promised to take it to meet its original owner, so it agreed to leave here with me."
Having said that, the wise ruler does not think the reason is really that simple.
The character of the wood spirit is cowardice, not stupidity. If anyone can deceive it with just a few words, it would be child's play, let alone the wise master who teaches the wood spirit day and night.
Therefore, Angel must have done other things. Firstly, to make the wood spirit notice him; secondly, to make the wood spirit believe him. And this may be the key to the problem.
Seeing that the wise master still looked at him with doubtful eyes, Angel sighed: "That's why I said let the wood spirit speak for itself. You must believe what it says. What I say...doesn't it mean that I want to destroy the capital?"
I’ve been told.”
Angel's last words were spoken very softly, as if he was mumbling to himself, but the wise master still heard them.
Although Angel was ready to take off his vest, he still felt a little uncomfortable when it came to this moment. He quite enjoyed acting with his vest on... because what the vest did had to do with him, Angel?
"The reason why wise men do not trust lies in the lack of key evidence." Angel pointed to the cane on the table: "This cane is the evidence."
The wise master looked at the cane, and all kinds of things about this cane flashed through his mind.
He watched Angel refine the cane with his own eyes.
At first, he felt that the cane seemed familiar, but later he discovered that one of the silver ornaments on the head of the cane was very similar to the self-made ornament of Experiment 6163. This discovery also made the wise master slightly worried, worried about Experiment 6163.
Whether the room had been killed by them, the wise master personally checked through the magic energy array. It was confirmed that No. 6163 was safe and the silver ornaments were also on it. Only then did the wise master completely clear up the doubts.
At this time, Angel clearly pointed out that the cane was the so-called "evidence", which made the wise master have to look at the cane again.
The body of the cane is made from a derivative of the wood spirit, so there shouldn't be anything worth mentioning about it.
Could it be that the head of the stick is still the source of suspicion?
The wise master stared at the silver ornament that No. 6163 also owned. The most attractive thing about this ornament was the exquisite logo carved on it: a knight's rapier with wings, inserted among thorns and roses.
The same logo has been seen by the Wise Lord before, on Angel's gloves.
At that time, the Wise Lord was indeed a little strange as to why the self-made pendant of Experimental Subject No. 6163 had the same logo as Angel's gloves. However, Angel's behavior was strange at that time, and there were a series of coincidences that the Wise Lord could not explain.
This incident was regarded as one of these coincidences and was forgotten by the wise master.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now that I think about it carefully, there is quite a lot worth saying in it.
There is no doubt that Experimental Subject No. 6163 pursues "beauty". It becomes wise because of "beauty", but can it, having just become wise, be able to make such exquisite hollow carvings by itself?
Impossible, this kind of hollow carving is the crystallization of skills accumulated over several generations. Even No. 6163, who has an excellent talent for appreciating "beauty", can only judge that it is beautiful, but cannot create it.
So, where did the ornament No. 6163 come from, and what does it have to do with the ornament on the head of this cane?
The wise master always felt that there was a vaguely connected thread in his mind, connecting various clues together, but he always felt that a key link was missing.
The missing key link must be related to the wood spirit.
Because it is impossible for Angel to mention the cane inexplicably, and the most noteworthy thing about the cane is the head...
Suddenly, a sentence appeared in the mind of the wise master.
——What is the true nature of the wood spirit?
This was what Angel said at the beginning. He mentioned this sentence first. At that time, the wise master thought that he said this sentence to introduce the concept of "the master of the wood spirit body".
But now that I think about it, if we really want to find out the owner of the wood spirit's true body, there is no need to specifically ask: What is the true nature of the wood spirit?
Because 99% of the spiritual beings born in the Southern Territory are closely related to humans. So when we mention the spiritual nature, we can already think about the spirit's original owner. There is no need to ask, what is the true nature of the wood spirit?
What.
After previous observations, the wise master knew very well that Angel was a person who seldom said anything. He couldn't ask this question without thinking. This sentence must have its meaning.
What is the true nature of the wood spirit? The wise master once guessed, and there is no doubt that it must be related to humans. His guess is jewelry, weapons or furniture ornaments, etc...
But now, Angel deliberately pointed to his cane and said, "The key evidence is right here."
It's no longer hinted, but made explicit.
Thinking of this, the wise master said: "The body of the wood spirit is a walking stick?"
It sounds like a question, but the wise man's expression is very determined.
Angel nodded: "It's probably true, but the wise master still thought a little less. Just knowing that the wood spirit's body is a walking stick is not a key piece of evidence, is it?"
The Wise Lord did not speculate this time. It was originally a question of exchange, but now it has been led by Angel to answer the question, and it fell into passivity. This was not the original intention of the Wise Lord.
Therefore, the wise master asked directly this time: "Then what is the key evidence you mentioned?"
Angel: "I said, the key evidence is right here."
Angel repeated what he said before, while pointing his finger at the cane again.
The wise master looked at the cane, and an idea suddenly came to his mind that made him a little unbelievable. This idea was even a bit unbelievable. But seeing Angel constantly emphasizing the cane, the wise master felt that maybe this idea was a little bit possible.
?
For the first time, the wise ruler said in a hesitant tone: "Is this cane the true form of the wood spirit?"
Angel raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes into crescent moons with a smile: "Correct answer."
Looking at Angel who just didn't celebrate with flowers, the wise man was confused.
"This cane... let's just talk about the body. I saw you refining it with my own eyes. How could it be the true form of the wood spirit?" Even though the wise master had answered hesitantly before, he really wanted to believe the answer he gave.
, he still wasn’t sure at all.
Angel: "The body of the staff is also a derivative of the wood spirit."
As Angel spoke, he picked up the cane and gently stroked the vines wrapped around the cane. The wood spirit seemed to like Angel's touch very much and moved slightly, as if in response.
"Everything on this belongs to the wood spirit. Besides, isn't the wood spirit already wrapped around this cane? It's not an exaggeration to say that it is the true form of the wood spirit."
Angel's words sounded a little sophistry to the wise master, but the content of Angel's words attracted the wise master's attention.
——Everything here belongs to the wood spirit.
This cane currently consists of three parts, the vine, the staff body, and the staff head. Needless to say, the first two are from the wood spirit. But according to Angel, the silver ornament on the staff head is also from the wood spirit.
?
The wise master did not think about the relationship here. He pointed directly at the silver ornament with carvings and asked Angel: "Is this also from the wood spirit?"
Angel nodded: "That's right. When the wood spirit was first born, this was on it, so it's not an exaggeration to say it belongs to it. Of course, from the perspective of item ownership, half of the ownership of this ornament belongs to it.
It belongs to the original owner. But since the original owner accidentally lost the cane, all its ownership rights should belong to the wood spirit."
The wise master did not speak and signaled Angel to continue.
"However, the location where the wood spirit was born is a bit awkward, surrounded by witch-eyed ghosts. In order to protect its nascent spiritual buds, it dare not move at will for fear of attracting the attention of witch-eyed ghosts. This is reasonable."
After all, the wood spirit was right next to him, so Angel had no choice but to use "coward" in a more euphemistic way.
"Although the cane is in a remote location, there are too many Wu-eyed ghosts, and someone will always find it. However, most Wu-eyed ghosts have low IQs, and they are not very interested in a 'dead object'."
"But at this time, a very special witch-eyed ghost appeared. It was still not interested in 'dead things', but it had an unusual pursuit of 'beauty'."
When Angel said this, the wise master already knew that the so-called witch-eyed ghost in Angel's mouth was Experimental Subject No. 6163.
So, the silver ornament on Experimental Subject No. 6163 was obtained from the Kodama itself? Then why is there still an ornament on Experimental Subject No. 6163?
The wise master suddenly remembered that Angel had previously refined a cane with extraordinary properties on the spot. He wanted to refine an ordinary silver ornament, which would take a matter of minutes, so he replaced the fake one with a real one.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That's not right... In fact, the silver jewelry doesn't have much value. It's a bit too much to distinguish between genuine and fake. It should be said that the new one has been replaced with an old one.
Sure enough, Angel soon told the story behind it.
"The witch-eyed ghost who pursues beauty naturally liked the small crown on the head of the staff and the carved silver ornaments, so he took it away. But our poor wood spirits did not dare to resist and could only watch helplessly.
His own things were taken away. By the way, the Wu-eyed ghost may have also taken a silver ring, but because it didn’t look very good, he threw it away, and it was eventually picked up by another Wu-eyed ghost.”
"Only the last ring is left on the wood spirit, which it cherishes very much. Unfortunately, when it was in the alien space, Sisia collected tolls again, and the last ring was not protected. In the end, it could only be climbed bare.
The ladder to prison."
Wise Lord: ...It sounds quite sad.
"Until we arrived, we were lucky. Not only did we find the silver ring along the way, we also found carved ornaments and crowns on that special witch-eyed ghost and in its boudoir. Finally, and
Xisiya exchanged the last ring and assembled it into the head of the staff. This is considered to have found all the missing accessories for the wood spirit."
Angel said this, the wise master has understood everything.
He did not comment on Angel's other actions, but the fact that he obtained the carved ornaments and the crown from Experimental Subject No. 6163 simply from Angel exchanging old ones with new ones, rather than through killing, actually made the wise master look at him differently.
of.
However, the wise master only kept these in his heart and did not say anything in his mouth. Just like Angel did not specifically mention how he got the pendant from No. 6163.
Wise Lord: "Your story sounds coincidental, but it should be true. But I don't understand why you insisted on restraining those hanging ornaments. You already knew that they belonged to the wood spirit?"
Angel put his hand on the table and motioned the wise master to look at his gloves.
In fact, the wise man knows without looking that the logo on Angel's gloves is exactly the same as the logo on the silver pendant. However, the wise master does not know what this logo means.
"I didn't know that it belonged to the Wood Spirit at the time. I only knew that this logo represented my mentor, which means it belonged to my mentor. Since it belongs to my mentor, I have to recycle it no matter what."
