The evil woman is interested in the skin of Seamus?
Angel narrowed his eyes, and a guess slowly came to his mind.
Could it be that the evil woman gave the Eye of Ancient to the Demon Elephant because she wanted to snatch the skin of Seamus in the duel?
Originally this was just Angel's random guess, but whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, the evil woman never looked at Angel and seemed to be avoiding her intentionally.
This made Angel even more suspicious.
Could it be...that he guessed it?
Angel further thought about the possibility of this inference, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
According to their previous judgment, Gu'ao's eyes most likely belonged to the evil woman. After all, she was the only one present who was a wizard of the transformation lineage.
Because the rules of the duel do not limit extraneous means, it doesn't matter if the wizards from both sides give the apprentice some "help". However, it is too much to use a powerful weapon like the Eye of Gu'ao, which can cause serious damage to even the official wizards.
It's blatant.
This is the rhythm of killing people.
Even if there are no violations on the arena, it is equivalent to declaring war on them off the arena.
The evil woman already knew that the clone of the Black Earl was here, but she still made such a decision. It was really unbelievable. Isn't she afraid of offending the Black Earl?
Angel was a bit confused about this question before, but now, combined with the evil woman's request, he seems to understand a little bit.
The target of the evil woman was not Vai, but Kal-El. To be precise, it was the Skin of Seamus on Kal-El.
According to the situation in the previous duel, there is a high probability that Kal-El will fight consecutively. If the demon elephant defeats or kills Kal-El with the Eyes of Guo, according to the "winner's spoils" method mentioned by Angel before, the evil elephant will
The woman has every reason to take the Skin of Seamus from the loser, Kal-El.
In this case, you can get the skin of Simos without offending the Black Earl.
After all, Kael has been exposed to lenses before, and the lenses did not react, so he is definitely not of the Noah family. Moreover, if you carefully observe some of Kael's behaviors, you will find that he is more like an academic apprentice or a wandering apprentice.
Whether they are academics or wandering apprentices, they are all weak in the eyes of the evil woman. If Kael is really killed, it probably won't cause too much of a splash.
Only then did the demon elephant appear with the Eyes of Guo.
But what the evil woman didn't expect was that Kael did not play. Instead, Vai, who had been seriously injured by the bacterial barrier before, recovered to full health and returned to the arena.
There was also a problem with the demon elephant. He was a little absent-minded because he was holding the Eye of Gu'ao. As a result, Vai seized the opportunity and suppressed him continuously.
In order not to lose in this battle, he had no choice but to activate the Eyes of Gu'ao.
So the following situations happened.
The above is Angel's review in his mind. Although this is just a speculation, Angel has some feeling, maybe this is the truth.
While Angel was thinking this, Doakes' voice sounded from the psychic belt.
"Could it be that the evil woman gave the Eyes of Ancient to the Demon Elephant for the skin of Seamus?"
Apparently, Doakes and Angell both had something in mind.
Angel didn't answer, and Doakes just nodded and stopped talking. But everyone looked at the evil woman and fell into thinking.
They had not over-associated before, but now they have Vai's guess and Angel and Black Earl's "acquiescence". This is equivalent to "drawing the target first and then shooting the arrow". After knowing the result, they will look for clues along the way. , it’s much simpler.
As everyone "awakens" one after another, the eyes they look at the evil woman become more and more repulsive.
The evil woman was probably a little embarrassed by the crowd, so she couldn't help but ask again: "I wonder if Mr. Ermi is willing to make this deal with me. As long as the price offered by Mr. Ermi is reasonable..."
Angel: "No."
"Ah?" the evil woman said doubtfully, "What do you mean, sir?"
Angel: "No. The skin of Simos is still useful to me and will not be transferred."
The evil woman's eyes showed disappointment, but she still did not give up: "As long as you agree, I can even find a half-step mysterious object for you."
When the evil woman said 'a half-step mysterious object', everyone except Angel was stunned for a moment. Mysterious objects are quite rare, and even a half-step mysterious object contains a huge amount of information. Energy is sometimes even more applicable than formal effects.
Just when everyone was wondering whether Angel would be moved by this, Angel shook his head and refused again, and his words were more direct than before: "I disagree."
"Why?" The evil woman's voice deepened, and the aura around her gradually began to become depressing.
Angel didn't say anything, but looked at the evil woman quietly. The evil woman's aura didn't pose a threat yet, but if it continued... Angel didn't mind dealing with her easily.
Angel's silence was considered by the evil woman as a provocation, and her breath became more and more suppressed. When the suppression reached the extreme, an explosion would inevitably follow.
However, Angel did not wait for the evil woman to vent her anger. Before the evil woman was about to lose control of her emotions, Gray Shang pulled her back first.
The gray merchant glared at the evil woman, and then bowed deeply to Angel: "On behalf of the evil woman, I salute..."
Before the gray merchant could say the words "apologise to sir", he was interrupted by Angel: "She hasn't done anything yet, why do you have to bow to me? Why don't you wait until she vents her anger first and then talk about the follow-up?" "
Angel's tone was sincere, but almost anyone could hear the provocation in his words.
The evil woman naturally heard it, but maybe it was the gray merchant's previous encouragement that had an effect. She restrained her emotions this time and lowered her head as if she didn't hear Angel's provocation.
Angel took the stage, but the evil woman did not perform, which disappointed Angel so much that he lost interest in even superficial greetings with the gray merchant.
The gray merchant also saw Angel's impatience and said softly: "I will wait outside for Mr. Ermi's return."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After finishing speaking, the gray merchant led everyone into the space passage aside, and finally disappeared completely.
This space passage was specially opened by the wise master for Gray Merchant and others. It does not lead directly to the outside world, but leads to the former working area of the Prison Ladder, which is the area where there are many witch-eyed ghosts.
The main reason why the Wise Lord did not teleport them out directly was that there were still some members of the Traveling Merchant Organization in the work area, who were dealing with the two wizard-level witch-eyed ghosts. Through the monitoring of the magic energy array, the Wise Lord had already noticed
Things are not good over there.
If Gray Merchant and others did not go over, those who stayed would probably suffer heavy casualties.
The Wise Lord still has some favorable impressions of the Traveling Merchant Organization...especially the Gray Merchant and the people under his command. Over the years, they have helped recover, precipitate and reuse the dark energy in the underground waterways, which can be regarded as saving him a lot of energy. This time too
A feedback from the wise master.
After the gray merchant and his party disappeared, Doakes said: "My inspiration told me that I just guessed it right."
Angel: "So?"
Seeing Angel's indifferent expression, Doakes couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you angry? She plans to take Seamus' skin by force!"
Angel: "But she didn't achieve it."
What else did Doakes want to say, Angel added: "Besides, even if the evil woman wants to take Seamus' skin by force, what's the problem? Some people also want to take Seamus' skin for free.
Skin?"
As soon as Angel finished speaking, he heard Vai cover his mouth and snicker. The "certain people" here undoubtedly refer to Doakes.
Doakes also heard what Angel meant, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even said shamelessly: "Our relationship is different."
Angel raised his eyebrows: "I have nothing to do with you."
Doakes stepped forward and said with a flattering look on his face: "Not to mention the present, won't you still be my employer in the future?"
What Doakes said surprised both Vai and Angel.
Angel had indeed hinted at Doakes before, but Doakes was obviously very resistant at the time. Even if he finally accepted it, he blamed it on "inspiration." But now, Doakes seems to be a completely different person. Not only is he not rejecting
, and also took the initiative to express his attitude.
This still surprised Angel.
However, whether Doakes expresses his opinion or not, Angel actually doesn't care. At most, the difference is whether Doakes chooses to work for him in the Cross Bar or to work for him in the Savage Cave in the future.
Doakes: "Besides, our relationship is at least considered close friends, right?"
Angel: "There is no 'and', your best friend is only Vai."
Doakes: "Even if you are not a close friend, you are still a good friend. Otherwise, why didn't you agree to the deal with the evil woman just now, but agreed to deal with me?"
Doakes was not asking Angel, but stating his own opinion, so Angel ignored him.
However, Doakes was right about what he said. Let alone a wicked woman, even if the Black Earl came to him to trade the skin of Seamus, Angel would refuse.
The only one who didn't refuse was Doakes. The reason was actually the issue of "closeness" as Doakes already mentioned.
The premise that Angel is willing to give up is because Doakes still owes him a debt. Doakes will most likely have to use his own labor as collateral. And this is exactly what Angel wanted. He originally
He has a plan to bring Doakes into his circle. If the deal goes through, trading to Doakes is equivalent to trading to one of his own people, and it will expand the strength of his own circle, so Angel is naturally willing.
But if the transaction is to an outsider, Angel selfishly feels that it is not necessary.
Although he didn't care too much about the Skin of Simus, because he could find traces of Simus through Wangwang's intelligence network, but there was a problem - Angel couldn't hunt Simus by himself.
If you really want to hunt Seamus, you will definitely need the help of other people. Maybe Sanders alone may not be enough. It is best to bring in Mr. Rhine or Granny Iron Armor.
Even if they would not refuse Angel's request, Angel himself would be embarrassed.
There is no need to go out of your way to do this if you can't get a good deal.
To put it bluntly, Doakes and everyone else happened to stand on the psychological intersection of "I do" and "I don't want to" in Angel's heart.
Doakes can barely do it, but others, whether they are the evil woman or the Black Earl, can barely do it.
However, even if Doakes was right, Angel had no intention of admitting it. Ignoring Doakes directly, Angel walked in the direction of the wise master.
When the others saw this, they immediately followed.
Although Doakes muttered, he did not stop.
The Black Earl had been talking to the wise master before, talking about the world inside the mirror, Younu, and the situation of the Dumu family. The Black Earl did not stop until everyone came over.
"Congratulations on your victory." The wise master had taken off his hood at this time, and his voice was no longer as cold as when he was the referee before, returning to a relaxed tone.
Doakes: "If the tone were more sincere, Vai, Kal-El, and I would definitely cooperate with Lord Master's performance and show how flattered we are."
The Wise Lord already knows Doakes's character and knows very well that he loves to argue and complain. However, the Wise Lord is not Angel. Angel can ignore Doakes's complaints, but he will not tolerate it.
"One-half." The wise master looked at Doakes with a smile.
Doakes was stunned for a moment: "One-half, what do you mean?"
The wise rule: "One third."
Doakes: "Huh?"
The Wise Man Rules: "If you open your mouth again, you will become a quarter."
Hearing this, Doakes' pupils shrank suddenly: "Damn it, shouldn't you be talking about my reward?"
The wise master smiled and nodded: "That's right, the reward you got in exchange for the Sunlight Temple. By the way, it's only a quarter now."
Doakes looked shocked and wanted to argue, but looking at the smiling expression of the wise master, he still endured it.
He was afraid that if he spoke any more, his reward would only be one-fifth.
After Doakes remained silent, the wise master turned his head and said to everyone: "The duel is exciting, but this is just a trivial first level. You still need to pass the trial of Younu to truly pass.
.”
"As for your next arrangements, I have already told Angel before. You can ask him directly later."
"As for me, due to the agreement with 'her', I have to return to my residence now. However, I believe that with your strength, you will find her soon."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again."
After finishing speaking, the figure of the Wise Lord began to become gradually blurred. Only then did everyone realize that the Wise Lord had actually left, and what was here was just an illusion of his.
Seeing that the wise master was about to disappear, Doakes finally couldn't help it: "My..."
"One fifth." The wise master didn't even turn his head and directly gave a critical hit.
Doakes clutched his "defense-breaking" chest and stumbled.
Before disappearing, the wise master left one last sentence: "By the way, I have arranged a little surprise for you on the way. I hope you will like it..."
