The tentacle monster Doakes mentioned was undoubtedly the evil woman.
The evil woman raised her eyebrows when she heard Doakes' name, and looked over with a vicious look.
However, before the evil woman could spit out the fragrance, the gray merchant grabbed her and winked at her, signaling her to restrain herself first.
Then, Gray Merchant looked at Doakes: "If the Red Sword Wizard has misunderstood my companions because of the previous battle, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Doakes said angrily: "I'm not as stingy as her. Her injuries are obvious to all. After entering the Sunlight Temple, the cost of repairing them was more than the others combined. Naturally, the price she paid was greater than the others. This
It's not differential treatment, it's fair trade."
Gray Merchant thought for a moment, and then thought of the theory of diminished effects of the Sunlight Temple mentioned by Angel before, and he already had the answer in his mind.
"It turns out that we misunderstood." The gray merchant apologized again: "We can accept this condition."
After hearing that the gray merchant agreed to Doakes' request, the evil woman hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to say something, but was blocked by the gray merchant.
"You don't know when you want to fully recover. Moreover, don't forget the organ you bought some time ago. If you delay the time, you may not be able to successfully transplant it. By then, tens of thousands of magic crystals will be wasted." Hui
Shang whispered.
Gray Merchant: "Remember the words of the master, be patient, restraint, and wait."
The evil woman let out a deep breath, nodded, and no longer resisted.
After both parties reached a consensus, the arena became much quieter in the following time.
Vai and Kael entered the Sunlight Temple one after another for spiritual baptism, while Doakes negotiated the price with the Gray Merchant.
In order to prevent the evil woman from having a dispute with Doakes, the evil woman was sent by the gray merchant to negotiate compensation with the black-robed referee.
The gray merchant behaved very gracefully, which made Doakes even embarrassed to raise the price for a time. However, thinking that he might "lose his freedom" if he did not raise the price, he became determined and the lion opened his mouth.
Even though the gray merchant had objections to the price, he did not show excitement, but negotiated the price with Doakes at all levels.
Although I didn't see the intense scenes of you coming and going, the feeling of mutual reluctance still came to my face.
"Why don't you go up and have a look?" The Black Earl's voice reached Angel's ears.
Angel: "How much the price can be raised is Doakes's responsibility. What am I going to do?"
The Black Earl chuckled: "Are you really planning to trick him to the end?"
Angel looked innocent: "When did I cheat him? Wasn't this voluntary on his part?"
Black Earl: "Do you think he doesn't understand?"
The Black Earl suddenly asked a question without cause and effect, but Angel understood what he meant and said calmly: "He may not understand, he just doesn't want to understand. By the way, his inspiration talent has been restored, maybe it's inspiration
Is it because of his talent that he deliberately doesn’t understand?”
The Black Earl pondered for a moment: "You think more comprehensively than I do. If it's because of his inspirational talent, then Doakes' subconscious feels that losing freedom is not a bad thing?"
Angel was puzzled: "Why must we lose our freedom? The freedom I understand also includes the breadth of the heart, not just the long-term vision."
"What's more, I have no intention of restricting where he can see or go."
The leather scroll Angel gave to Doakes Sunlight Temple was originally intended to give him a trump card. As for the other extended follow-up, it was just a casual chess game. Unexpectedly, this random piece would bring him
What a surprise.
The Black Earl smiled and concluded the conversation with a profound statement: "Doakes' talent for inspiration is indeed quite useful, right?"
Angel looked at the Black Earl, looked at each other and smiled: "That's true."
…
The results of Doakes' negotiations were soon released. It could be seen from their expressions that both parties were quite satisfied.
Vai and Kael also walked out of the Sunlight Temple in a daze at this time.
Their changes are difficult to see with the naked eye. But all the wizards present can clearly feel that their spiritual power has become more condensed and pure, as if there is no impurity at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that this change has been earth-shaking.
You must know that apart from the contamination of magic, everyone has impurities in mental power. The difference in impurities is that the more complex your thinking, the more impurities it produces.
This kind of complicated thinking does not mean evil thoughts, but anything you think can become impurities.
This kind of impurity is invisible. In philosophical terms, it is the dust of the soul.
It won't have a big impact on your mental power, but it will narrow the path for the development of your mental power. It's not impassable, it's just more laborious.
But now, when the spirit has been baptized, a lot of this impurity has been obviously eliminated, which means that the road to spiritual power has become smooth again... To put it bluntly, the potential has increased significantly.
This growth is most obvious among apprentices. Because their mental power is still weak, impurities can still be detected. By the time they become formal wizards, the impurities are deeper and more stubborn.
The changes in Vai and Kalel were very obvious in the energy vision, which made Gray Merchant and others look forward to the changes after entering the Sunlight Temple.
After Vai and Kael returned to their side, it was the Gray Merchant's turn.
There is no hard limit on the number of people that Sunlight Temple can accommodate. How many people can be accommodated at the same time is as large as the area.
Therefore, Gray Merchant and others can definitely go in together.
Before everyone entered the Sunlight Temple, the Gray Merchant handed a space soft bag to Doakes. From Doakes's smiling expression, it was clear that it contained the price they had paid after this negotiation.
After the Gray Merchant and others entered, Doakes took out the mysterious leather scroll and stopped caring about the follow-up. Anyway, when they came out, the Sunlight Temple would be dominated by the wise.
Doakes wrapped the precious leather scroll with energy and came to Angel's side.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Only then did he cancel the external energy and solemnly handed the scroll to Angel.
The Black Earl and the Wise Lord turned their attention to Pijuan at the same time, and they obviously also wanted to see Pijuan's true identity.
However, before Angel took over the scroll, he had already placed the power of nightmare on the scroll. All prying eyes were blocked by the nightmare.
Angel is not worried about the effect of the Sunlight Temple being exposed.
However, if this leather scroll of the Sunlight Temple is obtained by a professional and does careful and in-depth research, it is possible to find some clues. In order not to expose the "Coronation of the Mad Hatter", Angel naturally has to take precautions
Work.
The Black Earl and the Wise Lord were both a little disappointed.
Their disappointment points are actually different.
The wise master hopes to explore the direction of the magic pattern from the leather scroll. Of course, the wise ruler does not know about the "Coronation of the Mad Hatter". The reason why he wants to explore the direction of the magic pattern is because he has seen An
By comparing the magic patterns drawn by Angel, we can know whether this leather scroll was refined by Angel.
But Angel didn't give him a chance to investigate at all, so the wise ruler was naturally a little disappointed.
The Black Earl's disappointment was mainly focused on Angel's attitude.
Although this semi-mysterious leather scroll only has one chance to be used, it still has high value, because it can not only be used as a life-saving straw in times of crisis, but can also be used as an assistant to cultivate the potential of the next generation of talents.
Therefore, the Black Earl is interested in purchasing from Angel.
It's just that Angel's attitude has been shown. With the accuracy of the Black Count's ability to read people, he can basically tell that Angel has no intention of selling the leather roll, which makes him slightly disappointed.
However, for the sake of the slightest possibility, Earl Black still asked.
The answer he got was no surprise at all. Angel refused to sell, and the Black Earl was embarrassed to buy and sell by force, so he had no choice but to give up.
As for Doakes, after returning the leather scroll to Angel, he picked up the space soft bag and searched for the "treasure" inside it over and over again.
He has a small treasury of his own, but in order to manage some relationships and purchase some extraordinary knowledge at the Cross Headquarters, the small treasury is often empty.
It is extremely rare for Doakes to have so many treasures in his hands.
Doakes was very fascinated by what he saw, but after being intoxicated, he still endured it and handed the space soft bag to Angel.
However, Angel did not accept it. Instead, he looked at Doakes with doubtful eyes.
Doakes: "Although I understand that these should not be enough to repay the price of Sunlight Temple, it should be able to repay a quarter, right? I will definitely pay back the rest. Please give me some time."
Doakes's meaning was very clear. He hoped to repay the debt by paying off the debt, rather than letting Angel make demands.
He knew very well that once Angel made a request, it would definitely be something like "joining the Savage Cave", "becoming his little brother"... etc. These would result in the loss of freedom, and Doakes did not want to try it.
However, Doakes did not see it. After he finished speaking, the Black Earl turned his head and sighed softly.
The wise ruler in the sky also had a face full of jest.
Looking at Doakes's serious expression, Angel smiled and said, "I think you may have gone astray."
Doakes: "Huh?"
Angel: "The leather scroll of the Sunlight Temple is mine. I will lend it to you once, and the price you need to repay is actually the price of using the solar leather scroll once. However, if you use my leather scroll,
You have found so many people to use it and get benefits, so according to the default exchange principle of the wizarding world, the price you pay must also be added together."
Angel paused and said something that made Doakes feel extremely cruel: "So, the price you need to pay is actually more than before."
Doakes's eyes were stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Angel continued: "Of course, if you go to negotiate, you will have merit in the negotiation. Therefore, if you distribute according to work, you can also get some benefits, and I will not owe you anything."
Doakes still hadn't come back to his senses, his mind was still thinking about Angel's words just now.
Although he always felt that those words were a bit convoluted and a bit wrong, but if he thought about it carefully, how could anyone who repays a debt use the creditor's things to make money in front of the creditor and still want to return the money earned to the creditor to offset the debt?
debt?
It might work secretly, but it's a bit bad in person.
Doakes can now think clearly about the relationship. This is not a difficult logic to understand, but why did he feel that what he did was right in the first place?
Doakes kept looking back, and in the memory picture, he saw the pitiful eyes of the Black Earl; he also saw and heard the meaningful persuasion of the wise master; he also saw Angel digging a hole with a smile, and then
Adding fuel to the flames... When Doakes thought it was over, the memory review still didn't stop.
Soon, the memory recall stopped at the last scene.
Doakes looked at...himself in disbelief. Yes, in the last picture, it was Doakes himself.
It's just that Doakes feels this is strange to him.
In the picture - Doakes is looking at the descending temple, feeling the effect of the holy light washing the spiritual sea. His expression is full of expectation, enjoyment, and piety.
But Doakes clearly remembered that he was enjoying it physically at that time, but his mind and heart were in pain and suffering. When he thought that this was a mysterious leather scroll, he was almost scared to death. How could he show such an expression of joy?
Soon, Doakes in the picture turned around, as if he was looking at himself. But in fact, Doakes knew that at that time, he was actually looking at the Sunlight Temple Scroll floating in mid-air.
At that time, Doakes' expression was one of despair, and he almost knelt down to beg for mercy.
But Doakes in the picture is yearning, yearning, and happy.
This is obviously inconsistent with Doakes' memory.
Was his memory confused, or did he really show such an expression at that time?
When Doakes felt confused, Doakes in the picture slowly looked down. This time, Doakes in the picture was really looking at Doakes himself.
This feeling is very strange, looking at yourself?
Doakes saw himself in the picture, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, he suddenly showed a sly smile.
Immediately afterwards, the screen shattered and disappeared.
But soon, the picture was reorganized again. The scene was still the same as before, but this time, the behavior of Doakes in the picture was consistent with the behavior of Doakes in the memory.
Worry, heartache, suffering, despair...these expressions reappear one by one on Doakes' face in the picture.
Seeing these two completely different memories, Doakes already had a vague understanding.
In fact, they are all themselves.
It's just that one is external and the other is internal. And the internal self is actually the subconscious, or... the embodiment of inspiration and talent.
Therefore, the answer he was pursuing turned out to be himself.
After thinking about this, Doakes somewhat understood why he had not reacted. Obviously the Black Earl gave the hint, the wise master also hinted, and Angel even directly stated it, but he was obsessed with his own logic.
inside.
It's not that he can't remember it, but that his subconscious mind has clouded his thinking.
Why is this so?
Is it a sequelae of the advancement of talent? Or does the subconscious really think that being in debt is what is best for oneself?
