After being tricked by Angel, Doakes no longer wanted to investigate who Orao was paying attention to.
Anyway, it's not me, nor is it Kael.
As for who among the remaining three, Doakes was too lazy to think about it. But his intuition told him that Angel was the most likely. Even though Angel denied it, Doakes still did not rule out his suspicion.
"By the way, Orao and Adanis seemed to have mentioned... infant spirits." Doakes: "It seems that the information Angel received is correct, it is indeed an infant spirit. And, judging from their tone,
This baby spirit may be a bit difficult to deal with as Angel said."
Vai also nodded: "Also, before Orao left, he said that it was an infant spirit holding a flower?"
Doakes: "Horizontal flowers...flowers? Generally speaking, flowers should have a smell, right?"
"This is not nonsense. If a flower has no smell, what kind of flower is it?" Vai originally replied angrily, but midway through his words, Vai seemed to think of something: "You mean, the smell that adults smell is
Flowery?"
Doakes nodded slightly.
After everyone thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense, and they all looked at the Black Earl, wanting to get the answer from the Black Earl.
The Black Earl had actually been thinking about this issue when Orao mentioned the 'flower-bearing', but he still has no clue: "I can't judge for the time being. However, this inference is reasonable."
"If the 'Hua Ying Ling' is really the source of the fragrance, then you need to be careful."
As for what to be careful about, the Black Earl didn't mention it and everyone knew it. As an undead spirit with the will of chaos, it is impossible for the infant spirit to hold flowers for no reason. Since Orao uses "holding flowers" as the prefix of the infant spirit, it is very possible that the infant spirit
The flowers that hold the spirit are the most important thing.
There is no shortage of plant-type monsters in the wizarding world. There are many plant-type monsters in the Wunong Principality, which is called the "Fairy Country" by wizards. Among them, Genoa in the Long Night Forest has many flower-type monsters raised by the Night Whispering Forest.
.
The characteristics of flower monsters are inseparable from poison and vines. The "poison" among them generally refers to the smell of flowers.
The fragrance of flowers filling the air is most likely a means of attack by the Yingling.
Although the Black Earl does not have any special feeling when he smells the aroma, who knows if this is a way to lure the enemy? Once he enters a combat state, the aroma may immediately turn into an offensive weapon.
Thinking of this, both the Black Earl and others turned their attention to Angel.
When Angel previously manipulated the moving illusion, he also held up a purifying force field, and this purifying force field was very useful at this time.
Angel also understood what everyone meant and directly called out Ermi, once again using Ermi as the core to build a mobile illusion.
Although Angel can directly release the purification force field, he thought about it and built it together with the moving illusion. Infant spirits are also undead, and some illusions that focus on isolating energy can have an effect on the undead.
.So, maybe moving illusions can also work on infant spirits?
When everyone was bathed in the mobile fantasy realm again, the one who showed the most positive emotions was the Black Earl.
Even though there is no odor during this journey, the smell caused by humidity is not pleasant either. With the shielding of the purification force field, the air is immediately refreshing.
However, the Black Earl did not forget to care about Angel: "If there is a problem, don't force it."
The problem that Earl Black mentioned was not about moving illusions or purifying force fields.
But Ermi.
Although the Black Earl didn't know the specific details of Ermi's situation, he heard Laplace's words. Moreover, Angel's attitude towards Ermi was more subtle than at the beginning.
change.
Angel nodded: "I understand."
Ermi does have some abnormalities, but these abnormalities are still controllable, and Angel can also feel that Ermi seems to be closer to him. On the contrary, Angel himself does not dare to get too close to Ermi.
However, at least judging from the current situation, Earl fans don't have to worry for the time being.
After holding up the moving illusion, everyone did not delay any further and started back on the road.
Soon, they came to the road that bifurcated up and down.
At this time, the downward fork had disappeared, leaving only an upward slope, and this slope did not collapse in any way. However, at a glance, it was so dark that there was no end in sight.
"Go on, according to Orao and Adanis, neither of them should appear again before we arrive at the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber... We should only have one last test left." Angel said.
Everyone nodded, at least now they don't have to worry about suddenly breaking into the mirror.
When looking from below, the dark slope is endless as far as the eye can see, but when you actually walk into the slope, you will find that this slope is not as straight as they imagined, but has countless twists and turns.
It's like walking on a steep mountain road, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and occasionally making sharp turns.
During this process, they also saw many collapses, but it seemed that someone had cleaned them up. Even if there were signs of collapse, there would always be a passage that could be passed.
After experiencing such a "thousands of twists and turns" on the way up, everyone finally understood why they had never smelled the smell that the Black Earl mentioned. The path for this smell to travel is longer and more complex than they imagined.
"hardships".
The Black Earl can smell it, so he can only say... The Black Earl is indeed at a different level from them.
Finally, when they walked out of a side passage slightly larger than the dog hole, the road ahead was no longer sloping, but turned into a normal, spacious avenue.
After experiencing the cramped and depressing slopes, everyone seemed to feel much more relaxed when they saw the spacious avenue again.
However, the expressions of Angel and Black Earl were not so optimistic.
Angel saw the familiar road and knew that he was very close to "the wall", so he felt a little uneasy and a little subtle.
The Black Earl and Angel cared about different things. Although he had been in the purification force field, he was still very concerned about the smell in his heart, and he was calculating the distance between the smell and them all the way.
Now Earl Black can basically determine that the source of the smell is within a hundred meters or so nearby.
Maybe you can see the source of the smell just around the next turn.
If the source of the smell is really coming from the flower-holding infant spirit, then they are very close to each other...
The Black Earl thought for a while and told everyone what he discovered.
"...According to normal circumstances, if the other party is really powerful, he might have discovered us. However, we have been here for a while, but the other party still has not appeared, which shows that Angel's illusion is blocking this baby.
The spirit has a certain effect." Black Earl: "It should not have noticed us now, but if we continue to move forward and get within a hundred meters of the opponent, it will be difficult to tell."
Of course, it is also possible that the source of the smell is not the flower in the hand of the flower-holding infant spirit, which is why the other party did not appear. However, this possibility is very small... because Angel knows that this wall is far away from the Qingkong Poetry Room.
The gate is not far away.
If there is really an infant spirit blocking the way, it should be nearby. This almost coincides with the location of the scent source mentioned by the Black Earl.
Doakes: "If Lord Black Earl is right, then we should be able to smell it now?"
After Doakes finished speaking, his face showed an eager expression.
Vai said angrily: "The problem now is not the smell, but how to deal with this infant spirit! Moreover, we have thought all the way about which kind of creature's cubs are flower-bearing and powerful, but we still have no clue.
.If you don’t know its original body, you will deal with its undead soul. If you don’t pay attention, you will suffer big losses.”
Doakes is not as worried as Vai: "Although the undead will be affected by their abilities in life, the impact is not great. At most, the power of the soul in their bodies will be more surging."
"There are only a few abilities of the undead. You must defend the land of souls and don't let your spiritual tentacles poke out of your body at will. Then you and Kael will stay in Angel's illusion and make sure nothing happens to you."
Doakes blinked: "If it doesn't work out, can't I still use planes to block the way?"
In the past, it would not have been so easy for Doakes to mention plane tunneling. Now, since he has decided to follow Angel, he must follow Angel in everything. For example: Are the consumables for plane tunneling expensive? That's scum.
Scumbag.
Vai didn't care about why Doakes suddenly became generous. He was more worried about the "Infant Spirit".
If the infant spirit is really just an evolved and enhanced version of the "undead" as Doakes said, then there is really nothing to worry about. But is it really that simple?
Adanis personally set up obstacles, and also directly stated that it was impossible for them to defeat the infant spirit.
After all the talk, we ended up arranging for a large undead to come out?
Vai still thinks that the infant spirit this time may be different. You must know that the undead have no intelligence, especially as the lowest infant spirit among the undead. But this time the infant spirit can actually obey Adanis' orders.
It's a bit unusual to intercept and kill everyone.
Vai expressed his thoughts, but Doakes still didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he was floating now. He had received a satisfactory reward from the wise master, and there were planes in his way. No matter how strong it was, anyway,
He is just reckless. He just runs away if he can't be reckless anymore, and Qingkong Poetry Room has nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Kael seriously thought about Vai's words.
"Lord Red Sword is actually right, and Vai's considerations are also reasonable. The infant spirit is indeed unlikely to be that strong, but the attitudes of Orao and Adanis are also a little unusual. I'm wondering if there will be
Such a possibility." Kael paused and softly uttered a word: "...parasitism."
Vai: "You mean, the baby spirit is not the focus, the focus is - the flower?"
Kael nodded.
Vai thought along Kael's train of thought: "What if the infant spirit is parasitized by a flower? Does that mean that the flower is the focus we need to pay attention to? And the flower may be highly intelligent, so it obeys Ada's orders.
Nice can understand it too."
The more Vai talked, the smoother he felt. Maybe Kael's guess was right.
"The alien monsters Master Chao Dimension mentioned are not infant spirits, but flowers! And there are actually quite a few powerful flower monsters."
"Now we know that this flower can parasitize infant spirits, which means it uses the energy of the undead as food. In addition, it is very strong and comes from another world. Thinking about it this way, the scope seems to have been narrowed a lot."
When Vai said this, he looked at the wizards present.
He could deduce these conditions, but he couldn't tell what kind of flower it was. There were too many flowers in the other world, and Vai was not a flower connoisseur.
Vai first looked at Doakes, but Doakes's response to him was simple and direct: shrugged, spread his hands, and looked like he didn't know.
Immediately afterwards, Vai looked at Angel and Earl Black.
After seeing this, Vai noticed that Angel and his master had been communicating privately through the psychic tether, and it seemed that he had not noticed their conversation at all.
Vai was a little frustrated. He felt that his inference was very useful, but now it seems that it has not been taken seriously.
Vai didn't dare to make any noise and could only wait quietly until Angel and the Black Earl finished talking.
After about half a minute, the psychic tie between Angel and Black Earl was broken.
Angel turned around and immediately sensed Vai's depressed mood. Although he was talking to the Black Earl, he also heard other people's conversations. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Vai was so depressed.
.
Angel: "I also agree with Vai's conjecture. Perhaps the baby spirit is not important, but the flower is important. However, with my shallow knowledge, I can't tell which kind of flower it is."
Angel's answer stunned Vai for a moment, but he soon realized that Angel was responding to his own inference.
Vai, who was still in a low mood, instantly wiped away the disappointment in his heart. Following Angel's words, he said, "Could it be some magic flowers from the abyss? I heard that there are many powerful flowers in the Abyss Plain.
The magic flower."
Angel: "I don't know about this, but I just discussed it with Lord Black Earl. Since the other party hasn't appeared yet, maybe we can stay put for now and do some research and experiments."
The object that can be studied now is naturally the diffuse fragrance outside the purification force field.
Let’s first study the components of these aromas to see if we can roughly determine their source.
Of course, the most important part of these studies is Angel. As an alchemist, Angel is not very familiar with aromatics, but the bottom layer of aromatics is pharmacy, and pharmacy studies magic plants and their ingredients.
Materials and energy.
By deconstructing the aroma, we can study the most basic ingredients and energy essence. Perhaps, we can deduce where this aroma comes from.
After determining which world it comes from, further delineate the scope, which will make it easier to locate its true origin.
And this was indeed one of the topics Angel discussed with the Black Earl before.
