When Angel went to see the Iron-clad Granny, on the other side, above the ruins of the garden maze, Doakes had already met with people from the Traveling Merchant Organization.
The wizards coming from the Traveling Merchant Organization this time are not just the three black, white and gray merchants, as well as the bloodline wizard 'Wicked Woman', there are also five other wizards. However, these five new wizards wear uniform ice-cracked masks.
They were also wearing the same black and white burqa, and it was difficult to confirm the identity of the visitor just by looking at them.
However, although Doakes could not confirm the identities of these people, he could guess with his toes that these wizards must come from the Bilos family.
After all, the supporters behind the traveling merchant organization are the Bilos family.
Now there are changes in the garden maze, especially the shocking news brought by Gray Merchant and his team, which confirms that there were still people alive in the hidden area of Naraku City back then. Such breaking news will naturally attract the attention of the Bilos family.
Doakes still remembers that there are seven wizards in the Bilos family, and now there are five, and there is even a second-level wizard... Judging from the time his aura broke through, he is probably the one from the Bilos family.
The head of the family.
Even the strongest person on the surface has appeared. From this, it can be seen that the Bilos family has devoted all their talents to the garden maze this time.
There were so many wizards coming, and many of them were stronger than Doakes. Doakes originally wanted to be a "social butterfly", but he couldn't do it at this time.
But fortunately, Vai is still here. Vai is here, and the Black Count is here.
Even without Doakes' request, the Black Count slowly flew out and stood in front of the traveling merchant organization.
Seeing the nose floating in mid-air, the wizard from the Traveling Merchant Organization suddenly changed his expression and stopped immediately.
They are not ignorant. As a big family that controls a wizard market, they know the powerful people in the southern region very well. Naturally, they also understand that the nose in front of them is the clone of the leader of the Noah family.
Even though the breath from this nose is not particularly strong, the other party can easily contact the main body, which means that the head of the Noah family can come at any time.
Thinking of this, even if a large group of wizards came to the Traveling Merchant Organization, they would not dare to cause trouble.
The group of people bowed their heads obediently, waiting for the Black Earl to speak.
The Black Earl only said one sentence, which laid the foundation for today's negotiations.
——"If you don't want to die, it's best to forget what happened today."
The Black Earl had no intention of expelling the Traveling Merchant Organization, nor did he show any intention of occupying the ruins of the Garden Maze. This was because he knew very well that the existence of the Traveling Merchant Organization was meaningful. Even the Wise Lord was secretly helping them, which was evident.
Therefore, there is no benefit in expelling tourist organizations.
As for the Black Count, has he ever thought about occupying the sewers? Of course he has. But just as the wise master is afraid of the black count, the black count is also afraid of the wise master.
Only the wise master who is hindered by the ruined Naraku City can allow the Black Earl to gain greater benefits; if the wise ruler and other strong men sleeping in Naraku City completely abandon Naraku City, then the one who needs to worry is the Black Earl.
Already.
In addition, the Black Earl has already met his ancestors and has reluctantly taken back Adanis. This exploration is enough to pay off.
As for other interests, we can slowly discuss them with the wise ruler in the future.
A friendly strong man is better than a strong man who targets each other. What's more, the wise master also helped the Noah family and rescued the hollow people. For this alone, the Black Earl must recognize
Affection.
In short, in the eyes of the Black Earl, he would have a hand in the underground water, but he would not occupy it. The Traveling Merchant Organization has a reason and value for its existence, but the premise is... they must be aware of current affairs.
What happened today, especially the various things that the Gray Merchant and his group experienced and the various people they met, must be buried in their hearts, and no one can tell them.
And this is obviously not something Doakes can negotiate.
This is the reason why the Black Earl must come forward. Similarly, when Angel left, the Black Earl did not follow because he knew that he would encounter the current situation.
The basis of the Black Earl's negotiations has been set, and no matter whether the traveling merchant organization is willing or not, the Black Earl will not change it.
However, the Black Earl did not completely block the path of the traveling merchant organization.
After all, what the Traveling Merchant Organization has done over the years is actually to protect Naraku City in disguise. The wise masters all agree with it and even provide convenience. Naturally, the Black Earl will not really let the Traveling Merchant Organization completely lose its benefits.
However, what kind of benefits the traveling merchant organization can obtain depends on whether there are any deviations in their self-positioning and whether they can see the Black Earl's bottom line.
And this requires negotiation.
Naturally, Doakes was not needed for negotiations. The Black Earl took Vai to the inspection center of the Traveling Merchant Organization alone to negotiate with the Bilos family. Black merchants and white merchants also went there.
On the contrary, the gray merchant, the evil woman and their men stayed in the garden maze.
And the reason is very simple...the most precious memory of the gray merchant is still in Angel's hands.
They didn't know where Angel was, but since he didn't appear with the Black Earl and others, he must still be near the garden maze, so they could only stay and wait.
If the gray merchant stays, Doakes will naturally not leave.
Under the attention of Gray Merchant and others, Doakes walked over. Before Doakes could get close, the evil woman floating in the air stepped in front of Gray Merchant.
"Stop." The evil woman, wrapped in a white bandage, looked at Doakes with squinted eyes.
Doakes seemed not to have heard anything, he picked his ears and continued to move forward as if he didn't care at all.
"Doakes, do you want war?" The evil woman's hair slowly flew away, and the corners of her mouth gradually cracked, until the crack reached below her ears. In that terrifying scarlet mouth, you could see the sharp white hair.
Sharp teeth.
At the same time, the white bandages on the evil woman also began to multiply and spread infinitely, weaving a spider web of bandages in front of Doakes out of thin air.
If Doakes takes another step forward, he will inevitably be entangled in the cobwebs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The bandage spider web itself is not very strong, but Doakes knows that these bandages are attached with curses, and once they are touched, they will inevitably suffer various consequences.
The strange attack of the curse.
If it was the evil woman in the past, she would have probably attacked Doakes, but now she is just trying to deter him, so I know she is also afraid.
What he is afraid of is not Doakes, but the Black Earl, and the memory of the Gray Merchant in Angel's hands.
She was afraid that due to her actions, the gray merchant's process of obtaining memories would be disrupted, so the evil woman was also restraining herself.
Doakes stopped in front of the bandage spider web and sighed artificially: "War? Haha, I'm not afraid of starting a war with you now. Why don't you guess why?"
Doakes's "I have a backer" expression, no need to guess, everyone can see it.
As for this backer, they would naturally think of the Black Earl.
The evil woman said coldly: "Don't think that you can show off your power by having a backer. Do you think Lord Black Earl would care about a dead man?"
Doakes shrugged and said with a smile: "You guessed it wrong."
The evil woman was stunned. Before she could react, a figure walked past her and stopped in front of the bandage spider web.
And this person is none other than the gray merchant.
The gray merchant looked at the evil woman and said gently: "Don't be so tense. I believe the Red Sword Wizard has no ill intentions. Put them away. If these bandages get wrinkled, you will feel bad again."
The gray merchant changed his mask to reveal his eyes, and the evil woman could clearly see his eyes. His eyes were as gentle as his tone.
If it were the gray merchants of the past, if they really wanted the evil woman to remove the bandage cobweb, she would have to use a commanding tone; the gray merchants of the past were cold and cruel, and such a calm and gentle side could only be lost by the evil woman.
I only saw it in the past few days in my memory.
The evil woman glanced at Gray Shang with a complicated expression, nodded slightly, and put away the bandage that exuded an ominous and cursed aura.
The evil woman returned to the crowd, and the gray merchant walked step by step in front of Doakes.
"The Red Sword Wizard probably wants to see me for something, right?" Gray Merchant asked with a smile.
Doakes said lazily: "I just want to come over and bask in the sun."
Doakes showed no fear and walked step by step towards where the Evil Woman, Fen Mo, Golem... and others were.
However, when he was still more than ten meters away from everyone, Doakes turned around and came to the side of a big tree. He leaned against the big tree and enjoyed the sunlight shining through the mottled shadows of the trees.
The evil woman and others had no idea what Doakes was doing, so they could only frown and guard against Doakes.
The air became quiet at this moment, and no one took the initiative to break the silence.
The silence lasted for five minutes before being broken by the melodious sound of a shepherd's flute.
The person playing the reed flute is a young man with light green curly hair and a face full of freckles. He is also a member of the Gray Merchant, codenamed: Shepherd.
As soon as the flute sounded, Doakes couldn't help but said: "You played well."
Shepherd: "Thank you, Lord Hongjian, for your compliment."
Doakes glanced at the shepherd and said calmly: "The shepherd is good at playing the flute, but it's a pity that I don't like the person who plays the flute."
The person who plays the flute? The shepherd raised his hand in confusion and pointed at himself. Is he talking about me?
Doakes snorted softly: "Because, you are a heretic."
The shepherd was completely confused. What? A heresy? Did he do something?
The shepherd didn't reply, but Fen Mo on the side said angrily: "Even if you are an official wizard, you can't slander people casually."
Doakes raised his eyebrows: "Am I being slanderous? Think about it carefully, what are the names of this guy's four black-faced sheep?"
The black-faced sheep that Doakes mentioned were the four black-faced sheep that the shepherd summoned when he was fighting Kael. In addition to the four black-faced sheep, the shepherd also summoned a shepherd dog.
.
Doakes said coldly: "The four black-faced sheep are called Black 1, Black 2, Black 3, and Baobao. Let me ask you, why are they called Baobao and why not Black 4?"
When everyone listened to Doakes' question, they were confused at first, but slowly, they seemed to understand Doakes a little.
This is such obsessive-compulsive disorder!
At first, everyone thought Doakes was a bit unreasonable, but when they thought about it carefully, they were also very uncomfortable when they learned the names of the shepherd's four black-faced sheep.
Moreover, the most awkward thing is not only the names, but their ordering also made them crazy at first, because the first black is the youngest, the second black is the third, and the third is the second. On the contrary, the baby is the eldest.
This is completely inconsistent with normal people's logic.
Thinking about it this way, everyone seems to understand Doakes' obsessive-compulsive disorder.
At this time, the shepherd also understood why Doakes said "he doesn't like himself". He smiled bitterly and wanted to explain.
But Doakes was the first to say, "Don't speak. When you speak, I will think of your group of black-faced sheep. Now I feel uncomfortable just thinking about the names of your group of black-faced sheep."
Doakes' childish behavior left the shepherd speechless. He sighed and put down his hand helplessly.
After Doakes scolded the shepherd, he felt a little relieved and turned to look at the gray merchant.
The gray merchant never took his eyes away from Doakes, as if he was sure that Doakes was here to find him. But Doakes didn't speak, and he didn't ask, he just stared at him silently.
Doakes: "You seem to be very sure that I have something to do with you? Then you might as well guess what it is? There will be a prize for guessing correctly~"
Gray Shang smiled gently: "My memory is in your hands?"
Although the gray merchant was asking, his tone was very decisive.
"Do you have your master's memory in your hands?" The evil woman looked over with a surprised look.
Others also looked at Doakes. After all, they stayed here just for the memory of Gray Merchant.
Doakes, who was being watched by everyone, curled his lips and said: "It's so boring."
After speaking, Doakes casually took out the crystal that Angel gave him. The cross-section of the crystal clearly reflected the outline of a human figure, and this figure was the memory of the gray merchant who was captured by Adanis.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Here, your memory is here." Doakes didn't make it difficult for the gray merchant, and threw it directly towards him.
Hui Shang's eyes lit up and he quickly took the crystal.
Others also walked quickly to the gray merchant.
After carefully sensing it, Hui Shang nodded gently to everyone: "It's my memory."
When everyone heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this is the most important memory of the gray merchant!
"As long as you crush it, your memory will come back." Doakes said calmly.
Gray Shang subconsciously wanted to crush the crystal, but thinking that after crushing the crystal, his memory would return, he might not treat Doakes so "kindly", so he put down the crystal first, and solemnly said to Doakes
Thank you.
"The person you really should thank is not me."
Gray Merchant: "You mean... Ermi?"
Doakes snorted: "It's not me anyway. You have the answer in your mind about who it is."
Gray Merchant and others looked at each other silently. In fact, they also vaguely guessed the identity of the wizard who called himself "Elmi".
The gray merchant nodded: "I understand."
Doakes: "Since you understand, that's fine. I've done what I should do. By the way, the one asked me to give you a message."
"Give it to me?" The gray merchant looked at Doakes doubtfully.
Doakes nodded and said slowly: "Is the path you are traveling on a path of ruthlessness or a path of loss?"
After hearing Doakes' question, everyone's expressions changed.
Because this question has directly touched the core of Gray Merchant, which is the path of true knowledge he will take!
Since it is the core, it is naturally impossible to inform him casually. Doakes asking this question is already a very rude behavior.
Seeing everyone looking at him with unkind expressions, Doakes continued: "You don't need to answer my questions, I'm just copying what that person said."
"He asked me to tell you that what seems ruthless is actually just because of losses along the way. Which one brings you closer to true knowledge?"
"If 'loss' is the core, then is it good or bad for you to regain this memory?"
When Doakes said this, he shrugged: "That's all. It's up to you whether you like to hear it or not. I've already conveyed it to you anyway."
After finishing speaking, Doakes turned to look at the shepherd again: "He also asked me to bring you a message."
The shepherd pointed to himself in confusion: "Me?"
Doakes nodded: "A shepherd's journey will not stop just because of shepherding sheep."
"I don't know why he said this to you, you can just pretend you haven't heard it before. Okay, that's it, I'm leaving too."
After finishing speaking, Doakes dodged and disappeared immediately.
And in the same place, only the gray merchant who was lost in thought and the shepherd who looked absent-minded were left.
