This is the second time Angel has come to the Hall of Wise Men.
Last time, they talked in a secret room to avoid being spied on by Adanis in the mirror. But this time, they sat and talked directly with the wise master in the main hall.
Adanis, who had been feared and avoided by everyone before, was also present at this time.
But she didn't sit down, but hid in the mirror on the high wall, looking down at everyone.
On the gilt round table, the candle flames made a hissing sound.
There is a faint fragrance floating in the air.
After everyone sat down, the wise master's eyes never left Angel, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
After a long time, when Adanis in the mirror snorted impatiently, the wise master chuckled.
"Is this the effect you want?"
Angel looked innocent: "What effect does the wise master mean?"
"You should know it very well in your heart." When the wise master said this, he glanced at Adanis, and then looked at Angel with a smile.
Angel still looked harmless on the surface, but in his heart, he was as clear as a mirror as the wise master said.
He asked Adanis to do one thing for him on the condition that "Oraao will turn a deaf ear to her in the future", and it was a very simple thing, which was to say a word to the wise master: borrow sweet dreams.
As for whether Adanis could borrow Sweet Dreams, Angel actually didn't think much about it.
If you can borrow it, that's the best. If you can't, it doesn't matter.
From this point of view, Angel seems to have done a useless job. In fact, it is not the case. Just look at the expression of the wise master and you will know that everything is going according to the normal script.
What Angel wants to do is not to ask Adanis to actually borrow Sweet Dreams, but to use Adanis to borrow Sweet Dreams to convey to the wise master some things about the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber.
information.
This information is not on the surface and needs to be inferred by the wise.
Judging from the current situation, the wise master has indeed done what Angel thought.
Angel didn't know how far the wise master could figure things out, but he believed that the wise master would be able to determine one thing through Adanis's visit: he had "cooperated" with Adanis.
Once the wise master starts thinking in this direction, he will naturally start to wonder, why did Angel ask Adanis to borrow Sweet Dreams? He had obviously promised Angel to lend him Sweet Dreams before, and now suddenly
Why did you change your attitude?
As for the answer to this question, if you think about it carefully, there are only two possibilities. Either Angel was forced to change his attitude, or he changed his attitude on his own initiative.
Forced, what is the reason for being forced? Taking the initiative, what is the reason for taking the initiative?
With the analytical ability dominated by a wise man, it can definitely be analyzed.
However, the answer is not important. What is important is that no matter which direction you think about, it actually points to one core: the Qingkong Poetry Room has undergone tremendous changes.
And this is the message Angel really wants to convey.
If everything is normal in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, or in other words, the changes are minimal, then it will not be a big deal if Angel comes out and tells the wise master what happened inside.
However, now that the Qingkong Poetry Chamber has undergone tremendous changes, the agreement between him and the wise master may change.
——Previously, he had made an agreement with the Wise Lord. If he wanted to borrow Sweet Dreams, he would describe in detail what happened in the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
But now, Qingkong Poetry Room has undergone tremendous changes, so much so that Angel can't even decide whether he should say it or not.
But Angel was unwilling to give up the sweet dream.
Then, he must find a way to make the wise master accept some "changes".
For example, he asked Adanis to come over in advance to give the Wise Lord a "vaccination"; another example is that after being vaccinated, the Wise Lord raised the threshold for great changes in the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber. At this time, Ange
You showed up again to find yourself at the bottom of the steps.
As agreed, he would tell the wise master some of what happened in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, but he could not elaborate on it and could only give a selective summary.
That's the whole process.
To put it simply, it means raising the bar, lowering expectations, and then he expresses his true intentions - what I can say is limited, and I hope the wise master can accept this.
Although it's a bit convoluted, if Angel directly told the Wise Lord, "I can't tell everything that happened in the Clear Sky Poetry Room," the Wise Lord might not be willing to accept it. After all, they had made an appointment before.
And Angel didn't want to lose the opportunity to borrow sweet dreams, so he took a detour and expressed it to the wise master tactfully.
Angel himself knew very well that his behavior of wanting to have sex for free but not being willing to keep the promise was a bit scumbag. But the reality forced him to do this.
Because there are some things that he really can't say directly, such as the arrival of Augustine.
Before that, they didn't know whether Augustine was still alive, so they could talk about it as much as they wanted without even adding honorifics.
But now, Augustine has really appeared, and his strength is a mystery. Even if he does not reach the level of legend...his great achievements in refining the Mirror of Truth are enough to make him comparable to miracles in terms of status.
What's more, is Augustine really not a miracle wizard? It's hard to say.
Even if he is not a miraculous wizard, but just a legendary wizard, they cannot discuss it as casually as before. This is out of respect for those in high positions.
Otherwise, if you anger someone in a high position, they may wipe you out with just a thought.
This is just like a wizard and an apprentice. The apprentice must show respect to all wizards, even wizards from hostile forces, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Of course, Vai and Doakes are exceptions. One has a backer and the other doesn't mind. In addition, they are close friends, and their deep friendship allows them to ignore these etiquette norms.
But Angel and Augustine are not as close as Vai and Doakes. Even though Augustine values Angel very much, it does not mean that he can allow Angel to disrespect him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is disrespectful to Augustine to leak his information without his approval.
Therefore, Angel cannot talk about the "coming of Augustine" alone. And this matter is the source of the great changes in the Clear Sky Poetry Room. If the wise ruler wants to ask, he cannot avoid it.
Therefore, Angel could only find a way to make the wise master willing to "take a step back".
However, Angel also showed his kindness to the wise master:
Although Angel couldn't elaborate in detail, if the wise master guessed "Augustine is coming" by himself, then he wouldn't be blamed.
And is there a way for the wise master to guess it by himself? Yes.
The key factor lies in "Adanis".
Adanis's appearance in the Hall of the Wise is not only the cause of everything, but also indirectly becomes a "witness", witnessing what Angel can say and what he cannot say.
And based on the Lord of Wisdom’s understanding of Adanis, as soon as she opens her mouth, even if she says something unknown, the Lord of Wisdom will be able to guess three or three points of it.
Therefore, Adanis is not only a "witness", but also a way for Angel to show his goodwill. Of course, Adanis herself does not know it.
And whether the wise ruler knows or not, Angel cannot judge.
Angel believed that with the analytical ability dominated by a wise man, he should be able to discern his overtures.
But even if the wise master identified it, Angel still couldn't guarantee whether he was willing to cooperate.
If the wise master does not accept this plan, Angel has no choice but to give up on Sweet Dreams.
Anyway, Angel felt that he had done a lot. At least on the high ground of morality and etiquette, his behavior could not be criticized. Although he had an agreement with the wise master, it was not a contract and he did not have to abide by it; of course, the wise man
The master also has the right not to lend sweet dreams to Angel.
Although all of this has not been stated verbally, in the hearts of Angel and the wise master, they are all clear cards. Angel has laid out his bottom line and attitude. Now it depends on whether the wise master is willing to "retreat from such a situation".
One small step".
…
After the wise master pondered for a moment, he whispered: "How is Orao doing now?"
Angel glanced in the direction of Adanis and signaled the wise master with his eyes: You shouldn't ask me about this, but ask Adanis.
The wise master continued to ask: "How was the contract of Orao untied?"
The wise master directly skipped the question of "whether Orao's contract has been released?" and seemed to be sure that Orao's contract had been released.
Angel's response was a distressed expression, and he refused to speak.
The meaning is also very clear. Whether or not to answer this matter depends on whether the wise master is willing to give in and whether Adanis is willing to let him speak.
"So, you are not going to say anything about the situation in the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber now?" The wise master squinted his eyes and looked at Angel.
Angel glanced at Adanis and whispered: "Didn't the wise master already know a lot of information?"
The wise master took a deep look at Angel, and he knew very well that if he didn't make it clear whether he wanted to borrow the sweet dream or not, Angel wouldn't want to talk about it anymore.
The air suddenly became quiet, as if both parties were lost in thought.
However, the quiet atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by others on the field.
This time it's not Adanis, but Doakes.
"Alas..." A long sigh came from Doakes' mouth. He yawned and said to Vai beside him: "Do you think it's tiring for them to talk like this?"
Vai rolled his eyes and silently warned Doakes: Don't drag me into the water!
Doakes curled his lips and turned to look at Kael on the other side: "What do you think?"
Kael didn't dare to interrupt, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Doakes wasn't annoyed either. He didn't really want Kal-El to answer in the first place, he just wanted to break the silence.
At this time, Earl Black, who had been silent, said calmly: "Whether you are tired or not depends on the thoughts of both parties talking. You can't get an answer if you ask other people."
"However, many times you have to do tiring things even if you don't want to. Because you are at the bottom and face changes from day to day. You can't resist, so you can only accept it. Most of the time, you can't help yourself, even... I am the same.
"
When the Black Earl said this, he looked at Doakes: "So the real freedom you want is not so easy to get."
As soon as the Black Earl finished speaking, Vai leaned into Doakes's ear and whispered: "I think true freedom is very good... As long as you become the lowest dust, no one can restrain you."
No, you try it?"
Doakes was teased again for being "free". This time he was too lazy to answer the conversation. Instead, he set his sights on Angel, waiting for a turn in the stagnant conversation.
Although Angel was conversing with the wise master, he also heard what Doakes and the Black Earl said.
He actually felt tired, but as the Black Earl said, he often couldn't help himself.
He didn't want to ruin the relationship with the Wise Lord. After all, they signed a contract, and the wood spirit was still in his body, so it was even less likely that Angel would fall out with the Wise Lord.
Therefore, we can only continue to change and find the most suitable path through change.
Time passes little by little.
A few minutes later, the wise master raised his head and looked at Angel: "According to the agreement, I will lend you Sweet Dreams. However, do you plan to say it yourself, or do you want me to ask?"
Hearing the words of the wise master, Angel remained calm on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of what the Black Earl said before he couldn't help himself, or perhaps the wise master saw Angel's overtures.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implicit meaning of this sentence was that he agreed to his request, took a step back, and no longer asked Angel to elaborate.
At this time, Angel no longer spoke in a half-hidden way: "Whatever the wise master wants to know, you can ask questions. I will try my best to say whatever I can."
After a pause, Angel looked at Adanis on the high wall again.
"If Ms. Adanis feels that there is something that cannot be said, you can remind me in advance and I will pay attention to it."
Adanis nodded.
Although her expression was still cold, the look in Angel's eyes showed satisfaction for the first time.
Angel said this, obviously considering her opinion as more important than the wise master.
This made her very happy.
However, what Adanis didn't know was that when she was happy, Angel and the wise master exchanged looks.
Many times, silence can be regarded as acquiescence, so why can't blocking be regarded as an answer?
Angel: "What do you think of the wise master?"
The wise master smiled: "Okay."
After speaking, the stagnant atmosphere at the round table finally began to relax.
"Do you want to use a mantra book?" Angel asked.
The wise master waved his hand: "No, since the wood spirit is willing to believe in you and follow you, then as the mentor of the wood spirit, I am also willing to believe in you."
Angel's expression did not change, but he was speechless for a while: Do you believe this now? If you really want to believe him because of the wood spirit, then what book of mantras did you take before going to the Qingkong Poetry Room?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Angel still smiled and said: "Sir, the wise master, you can ask."
