Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2721 'Fairness'

Doakes was taken aback, scratched his temples, and muttered in a low voice: "Have I ever written something like this? Why don't I remember."

The gray merchant smiled: "I remember that magazine was "Light of the Southern Territory", which was the penultimate issue of "Light of the Southern Territory" before it was suspended."

When Doakes heard the gray merchant mention "Light of the Southern Territory", he suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered!"

Doakes turned to Wai and said, "Isn't this the masterpiece I wrote after we learned about Nagel when we were in Lorenbier!"

Wai looked at Doakes with a look of disgust: "...You said you are yourself, don't take me with you. I only know that you were very excited when you heard about Najier, but I didn't know you were still doing this Wrote two essays."

"Also, the magazine "Light of the Southern Territory", heh."

Wai didn't specifically talk about the situation of "Light of the Southern Region", but the disgust on his expression was undisguised, which shows how much he dislikes this magazine, and he doesn't even bother to talk about it.

Although Angel had never heard of the magazine "Light of the Southern Territory", he still remembered that Diablo once complained to him about the chaos of the publishing house in Sky Machinery City.Diablo used to be in charge of the registration of publishing houses. According to him, during his tenure, publishing houses applied every day, and publishing houses went bankrupt every day.

The reason for the closure is mostly because of their high self-esteem and offended some extraordinary people.However, most of them are not really closed down, just to save face, and then change their names and continue to apply for a new publishing house.This is why there are closures every day and applications every day.

In order to attract people's attention, these publishing houses, which are inferior and worthless, will use some sensational magazine names.It doesn't even consider whether these names can be suppressed by its own magnitude.

For example, "Grand View of Truth", "Secret of Origin", "World Talk"...the names are all big and empty, and the actual content is all meaningless hydrology.

According to the name, "Light of the Southern Territory" feels similar to this...

By the way, when it comes to Diablo, I don't know how he is doing recently?

While Angor was thinking about racing, on the other side, Doakes heard Vay's disdainful tone, but he didn't care at all, and even said proudly: "After such a memory, I seem to have returned to the era when the blood was boiling. .”

Wai continued to rant from the side: "The blood is boiling? It's all bloody, incompetent howling."

Gray merchant: "Those articles written by the red sword wizard really make people very passionate."

Wai looked at the gray merchant in astonishment: It's enough for Doakes to be self-indulgent, you, a blood wizard who was criticized to death by him in the article, why do you join in the fun?
Besides, what do you do with Doakes' words?Is this a strategy before the battle, in order to relax Doakes' vigilance?
Wai turned his head to look at Doakes, sure enough, Doakes had already looked at the gray merchant with admiration, and the hero saw the same appearance.

Wai sighed secretly in his heart, it's okay, it's okay, the Gray Merchant's calculation was wrong, and it's not Doakes who will fight the Gray Merchant later.Otherwise, considering Doakes' overwhelmed appearance, it's not bad to be able to achieve [-]% of his level.

"Hey, why are you complimenting him? Don't forget, they are enemies now." The wicked woman floating in mid-air said to Hui Shang.

The evil woman's attitude at this time was much more restrained than before, and even her tone became more cautious.

Gray merchant: "I didn't flatter you, I just put myself into the perspective of the red sword wizard. Writing these articles at that time really made people excited."

Fen Mo whispered into the golem's ear: "So the old Gray Merchant had such a strong empathy ability?"

The golem chuckled and didn't answer.It was the shepherd who was lazily leaning against the wall, and said, "Even now, Mr. Gray Merchant has a strong ability to empathize~"

Fen Mo has a face full of disbelief.The shepherd didn't explain it either. If the gray businessman has poor empathy, how could his personality change drastically because of a memory?
After the gray merchant answered the wicked woman's words, he looked at Doakes again: "I wonder if Wizard Red Sword can answer some of my doubts?"

Hearing the gray merchant's inquiry, originally Doakes still had an expression of "seeing each other late", and quickly retracted: "No."

"You still have some brains." Wai muttered.

Doakes gave Wai a white look. Wai has lived in the house for so many years, and his impression of him is still from many years ago.Is this good or bad?Not bad actually.Isn't it nice that someone keeps treating you like a teenager?
The gray merchant who was rejected did not show disappointment, but continued to politely say: "That's really a pity. In fact, we have no choice but to fight with you, I believe you can understand."

Doakes didn't say a word, and it wasn't his turn to answer such non-specific topics.

"It's useless to talk, let's start." It was Earl Hei who spoke. He turned the stone slab and wanted to look at the wise man behind him, but when he looked back, he found that the wise man had disappeared.And the black-robed man in the sky was originally an energy phantom, but now he was replaced by a real body, his robe fluttering in the breeze.

The Earl Hei suddenly uttered a word, which made Gray Merchant's pupils shrink slightly.Even the pupils of the evil woman floating in the air instantly formed a slit.

They had been guessing what the nose on the floating slate was and why it had such a powerful energy aura.Now, the other party spoke, and his tone carried a majesty that was completely different from that of Doakes.

This made them feel a little uncomfortable.

They vaguely thought of a rumor.

It shouldn't be possible, it's impossible for them to be so unlucky that they will meet someone from that family here?
"I don't know Your Excellency..."

The gray merchant wanted to speak to confirm the identity of the other party, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the black earl: "Don't waste time, let's start."

After finishing speaking, Earl Hei looked up at the wise master in the air.

The wise master who has changed his skin is a little less youthful than before, but a little more mysterious.He didn't answer Earl Hei's words, but looked at the gray business side: "If you agreed to my little test before and succeeded, the reward I gave was for you to choose the venue for the competition and propose a competition that does not violate the principle of fairness." The rules of the game. For example, you can propose that before the game, both parties must make a real self-introduction, and the answer you want to know will come out right away?"

"It's a pity...you not only rejected my test, but also failed to find them, alas."

Gray Merchant bowed apologetically: "It's our fault, we let Mr. Referee down."

The wise ruler looked at the gray merchant quietly, and after a few seconds, he burst into laughter: "I was thinking about what she would use to threaten you, but I didn't expect to use this trick."

Doakes: "What trick?"

The Wise Master glanced at Doakes: "Imprison a man who knows you best."

Doakes frowned slightly, and repeated the words "imprison the person who knows you best" in a low voice... Not long after, Doakes said with emotion: "Her methods are really nasty."

Although there is no lower limit for many wizards to be shameless, wizards with a little more normal thinking will generally not do things that harm others.This method, in Doakes' opinion, is a bit low-handed.

However, Doakes obviously misunderstood the meaning of the ruler of the wise.

On the other hand, as the party concerned, the gray merchant understands that although the black-robed referee didn't say it clearly, he must have seen his own situation.

The gray merchant didn't have much reaction to this. After all, the referee should be on the same team as the person in the mirror, and it's normal to know the opponent's methods.

The gray merchant didn't care, but Fen Mo, who always liked to ask a lot of questions, squinted her eyes and said, "Shouldn't a referee be fair? Why should you answer when they ask questions?"

The wise man dominates: "Originally I wanted to reveal more, but after hearing what you said, I suddenly don't want to reveal it."

The situation of the gray businessman, the wise master can naturally see it.He had observed the gray merchant before, and he knew that he was a cold and stern person, which definitely had nothing to do with the gentleness and elegance of the present.With such a huge change, Gray Merchant's subordinates still don't doubt it, and they can even retain the opponent's strength. With that method, there is only one way: to seal the most important memory of the past in the mirror.

As for the solution, only Goddess could do it before.But the wise master saw with his own eyes that Angel took out the derivatives of the wood spirit from the oil painting. If Angel could also crack the secret of the mirror space, maybe he could save the gray merchant's memory from the mirror .

Because of this, gray merchants rarely responded to Doakes' questions.As a result, Fen Mo interrupted again.

Just once, twice in a row, even though the wise master didn't think it was a big deal, he didn't have the idea of ​​helping them "out of the box".

Moreover, I really told them that there is actually no benefit for the wise man to rule, and it will only make the goddess and him more antagonistic.

Although the wise master joined forces with Angel and the others this time and had the idea of ​​testing the goddess, he would not really come to a point of tension with the goddess.Angel and the others could pat their butts and leave in the end, but he couldn't leave and had to face the goddess face to face.

If an unavoidable disaster such as a void storm occurs again and the magic energy array is damaged, he will still have to look for the goddess with a shy face.

Therefore, fighting without dividing, fighting without arguing, everyone still has to do some superficial work.

On the other side, Fen Mo's heart skipped a beat when she heard the wise man suddenly say these words.She... She must have said the wrong thing again, right?
Both the villain and the gray businessman had already looked at Fen Mo with unclear eyes, which made Fen Mo even more flustered.

Just when Fenmo was at a loss, the wise man said: "However, you are right. For the sake of fairness, I also allow you to ask me a question. Also, to show fairness, my answer will be the same as that of Same as before."

The wise master opened his mouth this time, but he helped Fen Mo get out of the siege.

The wicked woman withdrew her gaze, and the gray merchant gave her a comforting look.

This time, Fen Mo also made a contribution to them and won a chance to ask.Although the referee has made it clear, his answering method will be the same as the way he answered Red Sword before, that is to say, he will not give a clear answer, only the direction.Questions like asking about the other party's identity probably won't be answered.

However, there is one problem, gray merchants are really curious.I always wanted to ask, but I didn't know where to start, but now I have the opportunity——

"Mr. Referee, I want to know, where were they hiding in the previous little test?"

The wise master chuckled, and gave an answer that was not an answer: "Didn't I remind you just now?"

The gray merchant under the mask frowned: "Remind me?"

The wise master didn't answer at this time, but stretched out his index finger and made a gesture of "shh", this action was not to silence the gray merchant, but to tell the gray merchant that he had already given the answer.Asking questions again is not in line with the principle of "fairness".

The gray merchant understands the meaning of the wise man's domination, but he still doesn't understand, what is the truth?
"Before, didn't the referee say that Fenmo might have a chance to find them. Could this be a hint?" the shepherd asked.

Gray Merchant looked back at Fenmo, thinking of the traces of illusion left on the scene when he broke through the siege of mutant scavenging squirrels, he vaguely had a guess in his mind.

"Is it...an illusion?" When Gray Merchant made this guess, he was not confident.Because if it's really an illusion, there should be illusion nodes and energy traces, but when they searched in all directions, they didn't find any clues.

Does this completely hidden illusion really exist?

The wise master chuckled, and still did not answer Hui Shang, but said: "For the rest, let's put it aside for now. If you continue to talk, some people will get impatient."

The wise man dominates the so-called "someone is impatient", Gray Merchant and others thought it was referring to the nose on the slate opposite, but in fact... it was the one looking at this place through the mirror.

"Before the official game, let me talk about the rules."

The wise master repeated the rules mentioned before, including apprentices against apprentices, wizards against wizards; the victor can replace other teammates at any time, rest by himself, and continue to play after the rest...etc.

For all the rules, there are no other restrictions except that they must fight against each other at the same level.

This means that this time the competition is not only about strength, but also their respective means and cards.

In fact, from the point of view of the wise man, it is better to add some restrictions to avoid one-sidedness, but...the goddess is not willing, she just wants to see clearly the cards of Angel and others. If restrictions are imposed, how can they see the cards clearly?
In fact, Gray Merchant and others already know these rules.They are very confident in their combat power, means, and hole cards, especially after seeing that the opponent has a wandering wizard like Red Sword Doakes, their confidence is even stronger.

It's just that the identity of the nose on the slate made them a little concerned... If it really belonged to that family, their cards might not come in handy.

However, it shouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Maybe.

After the wise man finished explaining the rules, he still added one more sentence: "Although life and death can't be avoided, I hope you can reach the end of the order."

These words seemed to be fair, but they were actually meant for Angel and the others.

Because when it comes to playing cards, the wise master is not optimistic about the Gray Merchant and his party at all.

You know, besides the combat power of the three wizards, Angor also has a wind elemental creature whose strength is close to that of a formal wizard, and... a demon of the panic world whose strength is close to the level of true knowledge.

"Okay, let's stop here." The wise master paused: "Now, let's make a decision, should we start with apprentices or wizards first?"

The wise master thought for a while, and turned his attention to the gray merchant.For the sake of fairness and to reassure the one in the dark, he decided to let the gray merchant make the choice.

Faced with the wise man's question, the Gray Merchant thought for a while, then politely stretched out his hand and said, "This decision does not affect the result, let the other party make the decision."

If the gray merchant whose memory has not been sealed, he must have given the answer at this time.But the gray businessman whose personality has returned to the past is quite polite and humble... although this is only a superficial effort.

The wise master sighed in his heart, turned to look at Angel: "What do you mean?"

Angel: "Wizards fight first."
