Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2601 Exit
"Have you already voted?" Doakes froze for a moment, he was in a daze for a few seconds just now, did he vote so quickly?

Angel nodded: "Wai and I chose to go to the dog hole above, while Earl Hei and Kael chose to continue on the main road. Now it's up to you to choose."

Angel's words were not blocked, and everyone else heard them, but no one refuted them.They all knew that Doakes' inspiration was the point, not their choices.

"That's it..." Seeing that Earl Hei didn't refute, and Wai was very cooperative with Angor's nodding, he already believed it in his heart.After all, the situation outside the Illusion is very urgent now, and it is normal for everyone to make decisions a little faster.

Angel: "Have you thought it over? Do you decide to go to the upper dog hole, or the right way?"

Doakes thought for a moment, then said, "Let's keep going."

Angel was stunned for a second, but quickly recovered: "I thought you would choose to take the upper path like me, but I didn't expect you to continue admiring the beauty of the mutated scavenger squirrel."

Doakes: "Isn't it strange that the trail is so high and so small?"

"What's strange?" Angel looked up at the hole above, except that it was a little high and a little small, there was nothing strange about it.

"It's because you have too little experience in exploring the ruins. A trail like this that is very curious at first glance is designed to trap extraordinary people. Curiosity is high and can be used. Maybe the end is a trap." Doc After Si finished speaking, he did not forget to give Kael a lift: "Look, Kael has explored a lot of ruins, so he chose the right path. And the one who followed you is an otaku who hasn't gone out for decades."

Angel: ...Kael and Wai, he just randomly assigned them, can this also be evidence?

Angel couldn't deny his previous remarks, so he could only say dryly: "So that's it...cough cough, since you are also on the road, let's move on."

After making a decision, everyone continued to move forward without hesitation.

At this moment, Doakes leaned close to Angel's ear and whispered, "Actually, there is another important reason why I chose to take the road."

Angel's eyes lit up, could it be inspiration?
Doakes: "Because Mr. Earl Black chose the main road, he has thighs and doesn't hug him, what choice do he make?"

Angel: "...When you made your choice before, you never considered Lord Black's option."

Doakes: "Isn't there no danger before, but now there is a wave of monsters outside, so it is natural to think about the thighs first."

You are really a piece of grass that blows in the wind.

Angel forcibly suppressed the complaints in his heart, and said lightly: "I think, when you make decisions in the future, you still have to think independently."

"Didn't I just think independently just now?" Doakes was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. You think I didn't support you, but only thought about Lord Black Earl's choice and felt a little uncomfortable ,Right?"

Angor: ...Not really.

"It's okay. Next time I make a choice, I will think more about it. Of course, I will still think independently in the end." Doakes comforted.

Angel really didn't want to continue talking with Doakes, this guy always had the urge to make people complain.

He strode forward, came to Earl Hei's side, and directly opened the "private chat" mode.

But Doakes did not follow up, but frowned slightly, thinking of something.

"Is Doakes' choice this time reliable?" Angel still believed in Doakes' inspiration at first, but after hearing Doakes' reasons just now, he began to have some doubts again.

Earl Hei: "As long as he is really in a state of inspiration now, he doesn't need to listen to all his reasons. They are all deliberately guided by inspiration. If inspiration led him to choose a path back then, he would have another reason."

Angel was thoughtful: "Only look at the result, not the process?"

Earl Hei: "There's no need to ask. Whatever choice he makes now, there will be a self-consistent process of thinking he is right. The more you ask, the more this self-consistent process will penetrate into his heart. And if he wants to advance his inspiration, he must first There is a process of self-doubt, rather than feeling more and more that your choice is right."

Angel: "If he makes the right choices, will he have self-doubt?"

"If it were you, would you?" Earl Hei asked without answering.

After thinking for a moment, Angel nodded, "I will. I believe in being lucky once or twice, but I don't believe in being lucky all the time."

Black Earl: "Then do you think Doakes will doubt himself now?"

Angor glanced at the heartless Doakes from the corner of his eye, and said hesitantly: "If the inspiration never appears and keeps guiding secretly, he should be suspicious. But the current situation is that the inspiration comes from time to time. Come out to find a sense of presence, Doakes will only feel as usual, it should be difficult to doubt yourself."

Black Earl: "Your statement is not wrong, but you are only considering it from your point of view, or the most normal point of view. But do you think Doakes is a normal guy?"

"Maybe he's starting to feel something's wrong."

Earl Hei spoke with deep meaning.

Angel thought about it, and felt that Earl Hei was right.Jon also often told him not to judge others by himself, especially in the wizarding world where there are so many weirdos, normal thinking has become a niche instead.

"Did your lord explore that trail just now?" Angel didn't ask Doakes about it anymore. After all, this is a growth process that Doakes needs to go through.

"It's very long, it's not a dead end." Earl Hei's words were succinct, "What about you, did you find anything? Did Suling pass by just now?"

Angel nodded: "There is a sealed gate in the deepest part, a bit like the gate in a prison. The power of the seal is very strong, but it does not affect the flow of elements. Through the seal, Su Ling senses that the inside is It's not a small space, and the wind is flowing. As the adults said, it's not a dead end."

Earl Hei: "Do you think that the person who built the underground labyrinth would somehow place a seal on a trail? And, after so many years, that seal has not been broken, so no one else has discovered it?"

Angel: "Your Excellency, what do you mean...is there danger inside?"

"After Doakes came here, did he make a wrong choice?" Earl Black: "Don't think too much about the danger, and don't think about why no one has touched the seal for so many years. Anyway, I have chosen this path, and I don't care about doing so much. What, maybe the seal sensed by Speed ​​Spirit is itself a trap?"

Angel paused. If Earl Hei didn't say anything, he would really start to think about why no one found out and broke the seal for so many years.

In retrospect, that road was indeed an odd one.

Anyway, they didn't intend to turn back, so it's weird to be weird.I'm really curious, at worst, I will go to Nightmare Realm to see what is at the end of that road.

As they continued to go deeper, the number of mutated scavenging squirrels around them finally showed signs of becoming thinner.

After enduring the mental pollution along the way, the two apprentices were relieved.

After walking another 200 meters or so, at this time, a fork in the road finally appeared again, and it was still the same as at the beginning, it was a three-fork road.

It's just that the three-way road this time did not smell the obvious smell of the smelly ditch, so there should be some distance from the smelly ditch.

The road on the left and the road on the right are relatively narrow, but they can still accommodate at least ten people in parallel.As for the road in the middle, it is the same as the current road, and it is still the same spacious.

It is worth mentioning that on the left and right sides of the road, there are a few mutant scavenging squirrels running back and forth, but on the road in the middle, there are no mutant scavenging squirrels.

Now it's time to make a decision.

The two apprentices couldn't help but sneak a look at Doakes, who made a grimace back at them.

Angel stood at the three-way intersection, and took out his short staff again.The familiar sound-echo ripples appeared before everyone's eyes again.

This time, no one is discussing the distance of the sound-echo ripple anymore, they are all silently waiting for the result of Angel's investigation.

Two minutes later, Angel opened his eyes.

"The left side continues inward, it is very deep, and it is impossible to explore to the end. However, the life vibration inside is very strong, and it is basically certain that they are all mutant scavenging squirrels."

"The road in the middle is also very deep, and I can't explore it to the end. Within the limit of my exploration, I didn't feel the life reaction, but there were some extraordinary traces. Maybe it was the exposed magic circle, or some leftover extraordinary things."

Angle paused: "As for the right... after 200 meters, the exit is the turn."

"Exit?" Everyone was surprised, this is the exit?

Angel: "The so-called exit is the living area, which is similar to the buildings we saw before. On the right is a living area, which is quite large and has a lot of life reactions. It is estimated that there will be no fewer monsters."

"There should be no shortage of extraordinary items." Doakes added.

Angel turned to look at Doakes: "So, you plan to stay in the living area to explore?"

Doakes muttered: "I'm just talking casually, and I haven't really explored it. Besides, after so many years, who knows what else is in it."

"Then which way shall we go now?" It was Wai who spoke: "Why don't we just vote like we did just now."

His voice was loud, emphasizing it especially when he said, "Vote like you just did."Obviously, it was some kind of hint.

Kael understood Wai's hint and responded immediately.

Earl Hei pouted his nose and said in a low voice, "Idiot."

Doakes did not speak, and spread his hands in a casual manner.

Everyone looked at Angel, and Angel was silent for a moment: "Let's put aside the matter of voting. Let's go to the living area on the right first, I need to confirm the direction."

Angel understood that what Vay said was to help him fool Doakes.However, although his performance was qualified, his thoughts were written on his face, and Kael probably couldn't see it. All the official wizards present could tell at a glance that Wai had ulterior motives.

That's why Earl Hei complained speechlessly.

Angor didn't want Doakes to see the tricks, so he didn't mention voting this time.Instead, first look at the living area on the right to see if there are any landmarks.

As long as he gives a position, he can roughly find a way out, and he doesn't need Doakes to make a choice.

Everyone didn't object, and they also wanted to see how the living quarters here were different from what they had seen before.

Soon, they walked 200 meters to the right, turned a corner, and saw the bright gate ahead.

After walking out of the gate, everyone was stunned for a moment.

The scene in front of them was not much different from what they had seen before, but this living area was very bright.

Because, on the top of a tall tower in the distance, there is a huge fluorite like a small sun, illuminating the entire living area.

It was like daytime.

"That fluorite..." Doakes' eyes lit up, fluorite is very cheap, but such a huge fluorite is rare, maybe it can be sold for a good price!

"Don't think about that fluorite, it is connected to the magic energy array. During the day, it absorbs the sunlight from the ground through the magic energy array, so that it can keep it bright for thousands of years."

Angel directly shattered Doakes' fantasy.

In fact, as long as you use your brain, you can think of it. Unfortunately, Doakes' mouth is always faster than his brain.

Except for the huge fluorite, the entire living area is almost the same as before, and there is a faint turmoil in the air, which shows that this place is by no means as peaceful as it appears on the surface.There are not a few monsters hiding in the dark.

Behind them is a huge labyrinth wall, and directly in front of them is a garden square.

Angel walked a few steps forward and came to the center of the square, staring at a fountain not far away.

It is said to be a fountain, but it no longer sprays water, and it is full of foul-smelling stains.Even the statue in the middle of the fountain was stained with dark stains so that it could not be seen clearly.

Angel stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly, and a splash of water rushed towards the statue.

The stains on the outside of the statue were quickly cleaned.

The statue is an elegant and noble goddess. Her left hand falls freely and is in the shape of a grip. It used to be holding some kind of long object, most likely a sharp blade; but it has disappeared now, and the other hand is holding a scale.

On the left side of the scale is a piece of broken gravel, and the prototype can no longer be seen.On the right is a child with a severed head.

The child was bare-bottomed, covered with white gauze, with one white and one black wing behind him, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, the arrow was already wound, and aimed at the left side of the scale.

At first glance, it seems that the bow-wielding child on the right shot the statue on the tray on the left to pieces.

"Is there anything strange about this statue?" Doakes asked when everyone came to Angel.

Angel did not speak, but lowered his head to look for something in the fountain.

After a while, Angel manipulated the magic hand to fish out a head... the head of a statue from the bottom of the filthy pool.

After flushing with clear water, it turned out to be a cute child's head.

Put the head on the head of the child on the right side of the scale, which is exactly the same.

Looking at the roughly restored statue, Angel's expression became a little solemn.
