Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2673 Deep Sea Wood

Half the time means half the distance.

That is to say, this seems to be a broken but continuous ladder. In fact, there was a break and a loss, but it was reintegrated later.

Wanting to reintegrate the broken ladder will involve the double connection of the material world and the energy world, that is, the connection between the stone steps and the magic energy circle, which is not ordinary.

Previously, the wise master had vaguely mentioned that it was not him who repaired the magic circle here, but a person they would see eventually.

Could it be the one behind the scenes who hides in the dark and asks the wise men to stop them?
While Angel was thinking silently, everyone had already arrived at the door.

"It's still a door made of wood. It doesn't look like a prison." Doakes muttered.

"Then what do you think is like a prison?" The wise master asked with a smile.

"Not to mention anything else, the cell should at least be able to trap people. This wood is not very strong at first glance, it is not as hard as the previous dense stone floor." Doakes said while gesturing: "In front of the door This platform is quite spacious, and a few gargoyles can be used as guards. No matter how bad it is, alchemy puppets can also be arranged."

Seeing that Doakes talked more and more, Angel's eyes became brighter, and finally couldn't help but said: "The sparse stone is not good, although the preservation time is good, but it is still broken in the void storm. The best, Even if you use void secret stone, it will last for a long time, and you will not be afraid of void storms. It is also the main material for casting spells between planes. It is expensive, easy to carry, and easy to identify. Hong, you say, right?"

When Doakes heard the first half, he still listened with relish and nodded again and again; but when Angel said 'expensive and easy to carry', Doakes immediately reacted: "I was just thinking about why you suddenly Agreeing with me is indeed a fraud. Do you think I am such a superficial person?"

"Yeah." Angor nodded.

Doakes looked resentful: "Well... a rotten sandworm! I just have reasonable doubts about the anomalies here, and maybe I can help you find some clues."

"Oh, then I misunderstood you." Angel said these words expressionlessly, making people feel no apology, only perfunctory.

Doakes wanted to complain, but he held back.Because, his heart is really the same as what Angel envisioned... Even, when he was thinking about what material to use for the prison gate, the first thing that flashed in his mind was the void secret stone.

How did this guy guess his mind so accurately?

Could it be the ghost of this live broadcast illusion?
While Dokes was thinking wildly, the voice of the wise man came again: "You are right, the purpose of the prison is to trap people."

"But to trap a person, do you have to stick to a solid cage? Also, if you trap a person in the material world, do you have to be trapped?"

"Also, do you think that if all the doors of the Stairway to the Hanging Prison are open, the prisoners inside will be able to escape?"

"That's true. The hanging ladder was built in the hinterland of the underground labyrinth ten thousand years ago. If there are prisoners who really want to escape, it is really difficult to escape." Doakes: "However, according to the meaning of the wise man, the existence of the cage does not mean Isn’t it necessary, the hanging ladder is not necessary either.”

The wise man ruled: "Of course the existence of the cage is necessary. Even if its gate is open, it will always remind you that you cannot escape, and this is your destination."

When the wise master said these words, he still squinted his eyes and smiled, and his three eyes squinted at the same time. With the triangular glasses, he looked like a clown, as funny as he could be.

However, whether it is Doakes or others, it is difficult to laugh.

They are not stupid either. The wise master seems to be smiling, but from his words, he can feel the sadness in his heart.

Isn't this huge underground labyrinth a cell ruled by wise men?In addition to sticking to one place, the loneliness of thousands of years is also the punishment for the wise ruler.This punishment is even more terrible than those dead prisoners in the prison ladder.

While everyone was still lamenting the plight of the wise man, Angel's voice broke the atmosphere of silence: "If you talk about it a little bigger, isn't this continent, this world, also a prison?"

Angel turned his head and glanced lightly at the wise man, then said calmly: "It's time to go in and have a look, or, do you think the wood spirit is outside?"

After Angel finished speaking, he ignored everyone and stepped directly into the wooden door on the first floor.

The wise ruler looked at Angel's back, his eyes flickering slightly.

……

Doakes recovered from the emotional atmosphere, looked at Angel who had gone away, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Angel's sudden interruption of the immersive atmosphere just now was a slightly rude behavior in itself.As for Doakes' understanding of Angor, although he often has some bad tastes, he has always done a good job of superficial skills in terms of etiquette.

Something was wrong this time.

Doakes couldn't help looking at Earl Hei, wanting to see how Earl Hei would react, but found that Earl Hei's slate was quietly facing the wise man.

The wise ruler looked at Earl Black with a smile.

Finding Doakes' eyes swept over, the wise master also smiled back at him.

Seeing this smile, Doakes' heart skipped a beat.

He now understands what is wrong. What kind of character is the ruler of the wise? He has been in the underground labyrinth for so long, can he not control his emotions?
The sensual atmosphere, and the fact that they thought they sensed the inner misery of a wise man, if you think about it carefully, how is this possible?How could it be possible to be seen through so easily if he could be named a wise man.

In other words, the wise man dominated the atmosphere created on purpose just now?

Why did he do this?Just to trick them?
wrong.Deception is not the goal. Through this method, to test someone, or to obtain some information, is the goal of the wise man?
While Dokes was thinking to himself, the wise man said with a smile: "This illusion live broadcast is a bit interesting, and the person who released the illusion is even more interesting."

"What do you mean?" Doakes wondered.

"This illusion can vaguely touch the emotions in your heart, don't you think it's very interesting?" After the wise man finished speaking, he walked into the wooden door without further explanation.

Doakes understood a little at this time: "He, he was testing Jin's ability just now?"

The object of Doakes' inquiry was naturally the Black Earl.

Earl Hei snorted lightly: "Do you think he was just testing Jin? Didn't you give any emotional feedback?"

Earl Hei's meaning was very straightforward. The wise master was not only using this to test Angel, but also to see everyone's feedback.

To put it bluntly, it's just relying on a lip service, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, exaggerating their emotions, boosting the atmosphere, and gaining feedback.

And the only people who saw through it were Angel and Earl Hei.But their seeing through also showed their own uniqueness, and also brought new information to the wise master.

The fact is indeed the case. The wise man dominates his heart at this time, and he is becoming less and less convinced that Angel is a descendant of Noah.

However, Earl Black's Noah status is getting higher and higher.

……

On the other side, Angel was also slightly depressed.Because the wise master's temptation seems to be just using his mouth, but in fact he borrowed the shell of his live broadcast illusion to let everyone enter a state of empathy.

This made Angel somewhat regret that the wise master should not be included in the illusion.

Fortunately, the wise man dominated the main temptation or he and Earl Hei.And Earl Hei is not afraid of temptation. As an avatar, Earl Hei is full of confidence. No matter what the wise man wants to do, as long as he dies, the main body will come to make trouble.At that time, as the wise master who is passively sticking to one side, if he does not abandon the underground labyrinth, he will definitely be at a disadvantage.But once it is abandoned, the ten thousand years of waiting will be in vain.Therefore, Earl Hei is at ease.

And Angel himself has given up resistance.The wise ruler can definitely see that he is not a descendant of Noah, and now he is just testing his ability.

If you see it, you can see it, Angel doesn't care anyway.As for the ability to test, the wise man made a mistake in testing.

He thought that Angor could perceive emotions because the illusion enveloped them, and the power of illusion was monitoring their emotions.In fact, this immersive live broadcast illusion is really just an ordinary illusion. Angel's emotional perception comes from his talent.

Therefore, although some information was obtained by being tested by the wise master, there are right and wrong, and it is not too bad.

However, after this encounter, Angel had a better understanding of the ability of wise men to dominate.

This ability does not refer to lethal techniques.It's the eloquence and acting ability dominated by wise men.

It doesn't consume a little energy to act as a clown, but there is no fluctuation in the heart. It is very clear to watch all kinds of beings, and with a single mouth, the atmosphere is exaggerated to a place of empathy.

It has to be said that the wise man dominates this kind of old immortality, and the qualitative changes that occur after countless accumulations are quite terrifying.

While Angel was thinking, there was an obvious movement behind him.Obviously, the others had come to their senses at this time and walked towards the door.

Angel also put away the emotions in his heart, temporarily put aside the thought of confronting the wise man in thought, and began to observe this not-so-familiar room.

……

After everyone entered the wooden door, they almost had the same consensus in their hearts——

"Isn't this a little...too small?"

The size of the room is about the same as a single room in a hotel. It sounds good, but you must know that this is a prison. They thought there would be a corridor behind the wooden door, and the corridor would separate different cells.But completely different from their imagination, there is such a small room directly behind the wooden door.

According to the wise master's answer, this is the prison cell.The cell on the first floor was indeed only this big.

Looking at the cramped room, even Kael, who only cared about manipulating the Photo Stone along the way, couldn't help but ask, "Is it just for such a small room to build such a long staircase?"

Is it a bit overkill?

"Or, are the other rooms here damaged?"

The wise man heard Kael's question, but he didn't respond. He just smiled at the corner of his mouth and glanced lightly across the cramped room.

It was Angel who said, "There are no other rooms here, only this one. There is a reason why the room is so small."

After a pause, under the gaze of everyone, Angel said softly: "This is an important node of the magic circle inside the Ladder of Hanging Prison."

The wise master looked at Angel with some surprise: "How did you see that?"

"I didn't see it, I just guessed it casually. But now, I can basically be sure that my guess is correct." Angel looked at the wise master, and the other party's reaction told Angel that his guess was right. of.

The wise man chuckled lightly: "So, are you deceiving me?"

Angel skipped this question and didn't answer it. You lied, and I lied too. Anyway, everyone came and went, testing each other's information.

Angel walked to one side of the room, inspected, and said, "The bed is made of sea cypress, the table is made of sea poplar, and the floor is made of sea birch...everything here is made of deep sea wood. .”

"Don't you think it's strange that Shenhaimu appears here?"

"What's so strange? The deep-sea wood has a large production capacity, the price is not high, and the energy-conducting effect is also very good." The wise master asked pretendingly puzzled.

"Because the time is unreasonable." Angel: "The biggest effect of deep-sea wood is to promote energy transmission. But, have you ever heard that deep-sea wood has immortality?"

As soon as Angel's words fell, Kael seemed to think of something, and touched the bed made of deep sea wood beside him.

Kael's movements were not light, but the wooden bed just shook with his strength, and there was no sign of corruption.

"How can it be intact? Thousands of years have passed, nothing happened?" Kael wondered.

"This is the abnormality I want to talk about. I know that due to the growth environment, deep-sea wood is far more resistant to external pressure than other woods, but no matter how resistant the wood is, it cannot escape the corrosion of time. But now See, time didn't corrode it, the violent shaking didn't break it apart, and most importantly, not even the Netherstorm completely destroyed it."

The wise man ruled: "From here, you deduce that this is the node of the magic circle?"

Angel shook his head: "As I said, I didn't deduce it, I just found it strange. Looking at these immortal trees, I made a guess."

"When will the deep-sea wood not rot? The answer is that if it carries a large amount of energy of the same nature, it will greatly push the decay standard of the deep-sea wood. Therefore, I guess this room once carried a huge amount of energy, and this energy is gentle. It is not violent, and has the same nature as the deep-sea wood, and it has been infected with energy for a long time, which makes the deep-sea wood maintain an immortal posture."

"And what kind of energy can meet: strength, stability, and durability? All I can think of is the energy node of the magic energy array."

After listening to Angel's words, everyone still has a lot of doubts, but judging from the reaction of the wise master, Angel should be right, this is indeed an important node of the magic circle.
