Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2674 The Forgotten Story
The wise master nodded as he listened, as if he agreed with Angel's words, but he was not as surprised as he was at the beginning.

"From these clues alone, you can think about the nodes of the magic circle, which is very associative."

Angel smiled, and walked straight to the low-leg cabinet next to the bed, searching while saying: "Besides that, I have another guess."

The wise ruler narrowed his third eye: "Oh? What guess?"

Angel: "Energy cannot be produced without a source. Since this is the energy node of the magic circle, where does this energy come from?"

When the wise master heard this, his expression paused, and he continued: "Where do you think it came from?"

Angel opened the short cabinet and took out a small wooden box with a rather delicate appearance, which was also made of deep sea wood.

"Generally speaking, the energy of most magic energy arrays comes from magic crystals. However, if it is a magic energy array that is fixed in place and ready to run for a long time, and occupies a large area, it can only be supported by magic crystals in a short period of time. Okay, but once it takes a long time, the consumption will be terrible, and at this time, the issue of energy circulation will be considered."

Angel opened the wooden box, glanced at it, and continued.

"For a magic energy array at the level of an underground waterway, the energy cycle must be considered. How to create an energy cycle and solve the energy problem, here should also be divided into two aspects: the prosperity of Naraku City and the decline."

"When it was prosperous, there were a lot of underground residents, which naturally brought more benefits. At that time, even if magic crystals were used as consumption, the income was greater than the expenditure. Therefore, Naraku City had many choices when it was prosperous, and it was fundamental to solve the problem of energy circulation. It’s not a big problem, so let’s not mention it for now.”

"As for the decline, how will the underground waterway solve the energy problem of the magic energy array? After my observation, I guess that the most likely energy cycle should come from the life energy provided by the monster. The dirty energy of the stinking ditch breeds a large number of monsters. The struggle and death between them will be fed back to the magic circle."

At this time, the wise ruler had put away his smile and looked at Angel intently.

Angel: "Of course, there may be other energy circulation methods, but I personally prefer monsters to provide life energy. Otherwise, with the ability of the magic energy circle, the monsters in the underground waterway can be completely cleared, why keep them alive What about back and forth?"

"Since the magic energy array outside can allow monsters to provide life energy as a cycle, I thought, why not the Ladder of the Hanging Prison? Even in the prosperous period, for the residents of Naraku City, the people detained by the Ladder of the Hanging Prison are all It’s a felon, and they deserve it for playing some leftover energy before they die.”

"So, I guess, the energy source here should be provided by the criminals who were originally detained here? The criminals definitely didn't provide it voluntarily, but were forced to become 'energy providers'."

"And here, using a large amount of deep-sea wood as furniture is not only for guiding energy, but also means that a criminal related to the natural system once lived here. Maybe it is a natural wizard, or some kind of person who is full of the spirit of nature. Powerful supernatural beings?"

Hearing this, the wise master finally spoke: "Your inferences seem to be based on logic, but many times they are specious. Where does the guess come from, and where does the connection come from? There is no basis for it."

"But it's strange that the answer you got in the end is very close to the truth. I'm curious, how can you guess right every time?"

The wise man thought that Angor was a new star with a solid background, quite smart and extremely capable.

But in front of him, it was still difficult to hide that immaturity.Although he was hiding it, the wise man thought it would not be too difficult to see through his tricks.

But now, Angel's body was suddenly covered with an invisible fog.

The wise ruler doesn't care about Angel's deduction, what he cares about is how Angel deduced it?Also, is he really a descendant of Noah?If not, what is the purpose of his coming here?
This sudden out-of-control development made the wise ruler feel a little uneasy.

"Guesses arise from places, and associations arise from things." Angel said lightly: "This is the basis for my conclusion."

Guess where?The so-called land refers to the underground waterway, or the smelly ditch?
Correlation arises from things?The thing here refers to the deep sea wood?
The wise master frowned slightly. He always felt that Angel was perfunctory, but he couldn't prove it.

The wise man pondered for a moment: "What's your name?"

"Why do you suddenly want to know my name?" Angel looked suspiciously at the wise man, but the wise man did not explain.

Angel thought to himself: "I don't know who the wise master thinks of, but my identity should not match the names in your mind."

After Angor finished speaking, he stopped looking at the wise master, but stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said to Kael beside him: "We should go, the wood spirit is not here."

Kael secretly glanced at the ruler of the wise, seeing that the other party did not continue to speak, he hurriedly replied: "My lord, there are still many parts here that I haven't finished reading."

Although this room is not big, it still takes some work if you want to perceive it inch by inch.

Moreover, Kael also noticed that Angel actually only looked carefully at one place, which was the wooden box in the low-leg cabinet next to the bed. He didn't look at other places at all, so he just ignored them.

This made Kael very puzzled.

"This place used to be a cage for a criminal from the natural department, and the criminal himself was completely sucked by the magic energy array. The wood spirit must be aware of this, even if it has become safe here, with the character of the wood spirit, it should be won't stay here either."

After all, things hurt their own kind, and the wood spirit doesn't know whether the magic circle has changed its way of obtaining energy. If it hasn't changed, wouldn't it make the same mistakes as the natural criminal if it stayed here?

Seeing that Kael was still puzzled, Angel simply asked the wise master, "Master wise, have you ever found wood spirits here before?"

The wise man dominates: "Since you have already 'deduced' it, why ask me."

Angel shrugged, and silently said 'Look' to Kael.

"time to go."

Because of the acquiescence of the wise master, Kael did not refute this time, but followed Angor, preparing to leave.

On the other side, Doakes came to the wooden box that Angel had explored before, and looked inside curiously.

"You looked so carefully just now, I thought there was something good in it. But there was nothing there." Doakes walked back to Angor and muttered softly.

"The wooden box made of deep-sea wood, because of the conductivity, has been quilted and can be preserved for a long time, but the things contained in it are not so lucky." Angel: "Time takes everything away, and it also takes Gone are the forgotten stories."

Forgotten stories?Doakes froze for a moment, then said angrily, "You seem to know the story."

Angel showed a faint smile on his face and didn't speak, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

He also really knows the story.

In other words, what the wise man was puzzled about before Juggernaut actually learned about it from this story.

……

Back in time not long ago, when Angel went to see Sisia in the Wilderness of Dreams, he not only asked about the broken ground floor, but also asked a lot of other questions about the Ladder of Hanging Prison.

However, Sisia's understanding of the Hanging Ladder is only general, and he knows a lot of important things, but he doesn't know much about some details, such as the specific situation of each floor.

But these details that Sisia didn't know, Angel knew quite well.

Because he had entered most of the rooms in the Stairway to Hell when he was in the Nightmare Realm.The only ones that didn't enter were those derived spaces, and these spaces were still mortal Angel at the time, so it was normal not to be able to find the entrance.

Although Angel knew a lot of details, he... couldn't understand many details.

For example, Angel once found a thin book in the room on the first floor of the Nightmare Realm.

The thin book was originally placed in a wooden box inside the short-legged cabinet. In reality, it has been eroded by time, but the Nightmare Realm still has a copy.

Angel used the holographic tablet to record the contents of the thin book, but he didn't know any of the words in the thin book.And the writing is proficient, and it is impossible to identify the writing on the thin book.Therefore, even if he knew these details, he would have nothing to do with them.

When talking about the Stairway to Prison with Sicia in the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel happened to remember this, so he simulated the thin book with illusion and let Sicia recognize it.

It was finally confirmed that this text was Uysu language.

Cicia roughly translated the text in the thin book, which also let Angel know the story that happened in the room on the first floor...

As the wise master said, Angel's inference has obvious logical gaps.This is because his inference is a compilation without cause and effect on the premise of known results.

In the room on the first floor, the prisoner who was once held was a nature wizard on the elemental side.

The thin book in the wooden box is a diary.

Every entry in the diary is full of hatred and resentment, and the reason is exactly what Angel said before. He is used as an energy source, and the energy in his body is being extracted every day and night to supply the magic energy circle.

Day after day, year after year.In the end, this natural wizard was completely "cannibalized", and on the last page of the diary is the suicide note of this natural wizard.

It records his repentance, his love and resentment, his helplessness, his guilt, as well as his expectation and regret.

However, not long after his death, Naraku City was reduced to ruins.

In the end, no one read his diary either.As time passed, this diary was finally buried in the gap of time and turned into a pile of ashes, no one knew about it.

If it wasn't for a coincidence that Angel saw the projection in the Nightmare Realm and recorded this diary with a holographic tablet, perhaps no one in the world would ever know the story of this natural wizard.

In the beginning, Angel didn't really care about the story at all.

Because from the beginning to the end, this natural wizard never mentioned his name, nor did he say why he was locked up.Angel couldn't even judge whether he was good or bad.

However, when he came to this room in person, looked at other decayed props, and looked at the clean and clean deep-sea wood, Angel suddenly remembered the accusations full of blood, hatred and bitter tears.

The ruthlessness of time makes those people, things and things that have been forgotten in time never have a chance to come back.

Angor is not so much saddened by the scene, it is better to say that he uses this to express his own future.

Will he end up buried in time too?
Angel didn't want to, but it seemed that no one could escape the sanction of time.

Truth, can I?

When Angel was in a trance, a whisper came from his ear: "Why don't you take out that thing? Maybe you can catch the little fish by fishing."

After regaining consciousness, the first thing Angel saw was Doakes next to him. He was blinking constantly and giving Angel his eyes.

Looking at Doakes' expression, Angel understood what he wanted to express.

Since Angel deduced that the wood spirit's original body was a walking stick, why didn't he transform the stick into a seductive wood spirit.

Angel didn't deliberately not take it, but he thought, anyway, he will eventually turn it back, and wait until he is sure that there is no way ahead and needs to go back, and then take out the cane.

This can delay the time, so as not to expose the identity so quickly.

But now that I think about it, it doesn’t matter if he is exposed or not. Anyway, the wise man has already confirmed with a high probability that he is not a descendant of Noah, so it doesn’t matter if he transforms the cane.

Thinking of this, Angel didn't hesitate, and directly took out the four-in-one decoration on the top of the cane from the bracelet, and then shook it lightly, and the smoke burst out.

When the smoke dissipated, a black stick appeared under the ornaments.

The head ornament of the cane is real, while the body of the cane is an illusion.The overall shape is exactly the same as the cane in the painting that Butler Goode saw in the Igulo family.

After Angel took out his cane, he walked directly towards the stairs without saying a word.

The wise man behind saw the cane that suddenly appeared in Angel's hand, and was stunned for a moment.

He vaguely felt that the head decoration of this cane looked familiar, especially the logo-like engraving on the handle, where did he seem to have seen it?
While thinking back, the wise man followed Angor up the stairs again.

Angor still measured the stairs to the second floor step by step, but this time it was much faster than the first floor. In less than 3 minutes, he saw the new platform.

However, when everyone boarded this new platform, except for the Black Earl and the Juggernaut, everyone else was stunned.

Even Angel was taken aback.

Because on this platform, there is no door they are familiar with, only the stairs that continue to go up.

Isn't this the second floor, just a transit platform?Amidst everyone's doubts, Angel turned his head and looked into the depths of the void.

"Is there anything over there?" Doakes asked curiously.

They are in an illusion, even if they can use their mental power, they can't perceive the outside world. All they can do is see with their naked eyes.

Looking at it with the naked eye, Doakes didn't find anything unusual, so he could only ask.

"It seems that there is a road here?" It was Kael who spoke.

While talking, Kael walked towards the side of the platform. When he came to the edge of the platform, Kael hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the void.

There was no fall, and he stood firmly in mid-air.

Doakes' eyes lit up: "There is really a way!"
