Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2768
In the passage that is so long that it is difficult to see the end, darkness is the eternal theme.

However, this place is not always dark. When someone comes, there will be lights to guide the way forward.

At this time, there was a sound of small footsteps in this passage.

As the footsteps deepened, the lights on the wall lit up one by one, lighting up all the way to the end that the naked eye could reach.

"This is the arrangement of the wise master?" Doakes walked to a wall candle and observed it carefully for a moment: "It seems to be very ordinary, and the quality of the lamp oil is also average, but the advantage is that the quantity is large. If you take them all away, you should It can be sold for a good price."

"Master Chaowei has already said that the arrangement said by the wise master is only to guide the way forward through the light of the wall candle, not to give it to you as a gift." Wai complained a little speechlessly.

Ever since he was scolded by the Black Earl, Doakes has intensified, and he doesn't even want to let go of these wall candles.But what Earl Hei said was not just about the "magic crystal"!
Doakes: "The wise master didn't forbid me to take it, did he? As long as he doesn't prohibit it, he acquiesces."

"That's what it says." Angel turned to look at Doakes: "But do you dare to take it?"

Doakes babbled for a long time, but he didn't make a move, so he knew that he didn't dare to move. After all, this is an underground waterway covered with a large number of magic circles.

Just because he didn't do it doesn't mean he doesn't want it.Isn't it just to get Angel's attention by saying such a long list?
"As long as you say you can take it, why don't I dare to take it! After all, I'm going to work hard for you, you shouldn't just ignore death, right?" Doakes' tone was firm at the beginning, but the style of the second half of the sentence took a turn for the worse , simply don't be too flattering.

Seeing this, Vai couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

Previously, Doakes looked like a strong and macho man, with a resolute expression on his face that he did not want to lose his freedom; but since he owed Angel a debt and made up his mind to 'sell his labor', he has changed completely. Those who didn't know thought he was Angor's servant...

Of course, if Doakes really 'sells himself' in the future, he will indeed be regarded as Angel's servant.But from Angor's disgusted eyes, Wai could read that what Angor needed was Doakes' labor, not his people, and it could only be regarded as the relationship between employer and labor.

No matter what the final result was, the change in Doakes really surprised Wai.

"You can take it." After Angel finished speaking, he stared at Doakes.

Doakes didn't move, but continued to look at Angor in blank dismay.

After a while, Angel finally sighed, and said the second half of the sentence: "As long as you are not afraid of death, you can take it."

"Sure enough, as I expected, there must be a proviso." Doakes muttered, but he didn't care. He was tricked by Angor a lot along the way. Even if he didn't use inspiration, he felt that Angor might be tricking him. .

In other words, the calmer and more submissive Angel was, the more unbelievable it seemed to Doakes.The reason for 'obedience' is presumably holding back bad water.

Angel: "These wall candles are all connected to the magic circle, but the connection is relatively weak."

While talking, Angel walked to a wall candle, and saw that he cut off a few energy streams at random, then took down the wall candle, and there was no abnormality around him.

Angel threw the wall candle in his hand to Doakes: "Since you want it so much, I will keep it for you as a souvenir. I believe that the wise master will not be reluctant to part with these wall candles."

Doakes: "I don't want one, since it's so simple, why not have them all..."

Before Doakes could finish speaking, Angor's smile became kind.

Doakes shut up subconsciously. Whenever Angel showed such a smile, there must be nothing good.

"Do you want me to spend a lot of time and magic power to help you break all these wall candles?" Angel said with a smile.

Doakes: "I... I, I'm just saying, if you're free."

Angel: "If I use the same amount of time and the same magic power, I should be able to refine alchemy items that are at least ten times more expensive than the total price of these wall candles."

Doakes: "..." Listen, listen, is this human?

Although Doakes strongly restrained his inner emotions, the inadvertent envy in his eyes revealed his thoughts.

After Angor rejected Doakes' proposal with "tactful" words, he continued to walk forward.

Doakes hurriedly followed: "Since these were not given to us, what is the surprise that the wise master is talking about?"

Angel: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Although Angel and Earl Hei had communicated with the wise master for a period of time before, they only talked about the upcoming itinerary and did not mention any "surprises" at all.

Before leaving, the wise master suddenly said that he had left a surprise on the road ahead, which made Angel also puzzled.

However, compared to Doakes' look of anticipation and yearning, Angel was not very optimistic about this so-called surprise.

Surprise can be literal, but it can also be ironic.It all depends on the context, and the character of the speaker.

If this was said by an academic white wizard, Angel would believe it.But wise men rule... Angel still has to draw a question mark.

Not only Angor thinks this way, but Wai obviously also thinks so: "Maybe it's a surprise rather than a joy."

Doakes: "If it's a surprise, I'll..."

"What about you?" Vai squinted at Doakes: "Are you...one-sixth?"

As soon as he heard "one-sixth", Doakes languished again, bowed his head and sighed, and even his walking steps became feeble.

But Doakes had just walked a few steps when he heard a "bang--" and his head hit the iron sheet directly.

Doakes covered his head cursingly and took a few steps back.

After reaching a safe distance, he looked up and found that what he bumped into was not an 'iron sheet', but an alchemy puppet.

This alchemy puppet was the one that was possessed by Su Ling. Since the possession, Angel has not allowed Su Ling to withdraw.

Doakes had asked Angor the reason before, and Angor's explanation was: Su Ling didn't want to come out.

It is probably because Su Ling has always been in an energy state in the past, and it is the first time he has a body... Although it is only a body of steel, it is also a very wonderful experience for it.

Unusual, Su Ling asked Angel to continue to experience the alchemy puppet.

Angel would naturally not refuse such an insignificant request.Besides, Suling's combat power is not the key point in this team, but its ability to perceive the wind is.The body of the alchemy puppet did not limit Su Ling's perception, but because of the embedded magic energy array, Su Ling's ability to perceive the veins of wind was stronger.

Seeing that it was Suling who hit him, Doakes could only admit that he was unlucky, and it was useless to protest with Suling, and it would not talk to anyone except Angel; With debts, Doakes lacked confidence, so he could only give up.

While Doakes was silent, Kael walked up to Angel and asked curiously, "My lord, did you find anything?"

The reason Doakes hit the alchemy puppet was because Angel stopped suddenly.The alchemy puppet guarding the side naturally also stopped, which caused Doakes to bump into a wall inadvertently.

And Angel, who stopped, was looking around in doubt, as if he was looking at something.

This is also the reason why Kael stepped forward to ask.

Angel: "It told me just now that there are hidden creatures nearby."

While explaining, Angel raised his cane and made a gesture.This is also to tell everyone that it is this cane that discovered the "hidden creature", that is... the wood spirit.

According to Angel, when they walked nearby, the tendrils on the cane moved secretly, rubbing against Angel's palm non-stop.

At first Angel thought it was the wood spirit who was "acting like a baby", but after careful perception, he realized that the wood spirit was writing on his palm.

The content is that there are hidden creatures nearby.

Angel has been looking around, looking for this so-called hidden creature.However, no matter how hard he searched, he found nothing.

He looked at Earl Hei again, and Earl Hei gave the same answer.Earl Hei also didn't smell any special smell around him.

"Is it those dog holes?" Vai asked curiously.

Doakes: "Is it a dog hole, don't you know? There are no dog holes around."

Vay ignored Doakes, but continued to look at the Black Earl.

Earl Hei did not speak, but descended from mid-air, and directly attached to the black hole where Wai's nasal cavity was located.

After reintegrating into one body, Vai himself could smell the surrounding air.

"No smell." Vai sighed.

Since even Earl Hei couldn't smell it, how could the wood spirit know that there were hidden creatures around?Everyone looked at Angor curiously... If they looked at the wood spirit, the wood spirit would be timid, so they could only use Angor as the intermediary for the message.

Angel didn't answer right away, because the wood spirit's "writing" speed was too slow, and Angel wanted it to speak, but the wood spirit didn't care at all and had to give up.

After a long while, Angel finally finished reading the message written by the wood spirit.

"Because the concealment method used by that hidden creature belongs to the same vein as the wood spirit. Therefore, the wood spirit can perceive it."

As for why there are creatures with the same hidden ability as the wood spirit, according to the wood spirit, it should be related to the master of the wise.

When the wise master taught the wood spirit, he was also researching the ability of the wood spirit, and even took away the derivatives that the wood spirit sloughed off.

It doesn't matter if the wise man takes the derivatives, but the wood spirit doesn't matter.After all, the Sovereign is its enlightened teacher.

And the wood spirit can smell it, the hidden creature's aura has the smell of its derivatives.

"So, the hidden creatures are caused by the wise master? Could it be, this is the surprise that the wise master said?" Doakes wondered.

Angel: "Yes or no, you have to find it before you know."

Doakes: "Since the wood spirit can perceive it, let the wood spirit come and find it."

Angel also originally intended this, but...

"That hidden creature has been moving, and it's too late to rely on the wood spirit's writing speed alone."

Before, the wood spirit also said that the other party was directly in front, but after a while, it changed it again, saying that it was in the front right.

Most importantly, Wood Spirit seems to have a bit of 'obsessive-compulsive disorder', it is very persistent in writing prefixes.

Originally, the direction of the vines could be used to indicate the location, but the wood spirit doesn't want it, it has to write, and the beginning of each writing is: "It is at such and such a location."

The preceding prefix is ​​unnecessary, but the wood spirit writes repeatedly, which also makes its writing speed not as fast as the other party's movement speed.Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to rely on the wood spirit to find the hidden creature.

Doakes: "So what now?"

Angel pondered for a moment, looked towards the long corridor ahead, and said slowly, "Hunting."

Hunting is a hunter's term, which refers to the action of encircling and exterminating prey by limiting the range of movement of prey.

What Angel said here is not really about "hunting", what he is more prominent is "hunting".

Since you can't find the opponent now, you can simply limit the range. As long as you keep narrowing the range, you will eventually be able to trap the opponent.

Of course, if the opponent really wanted to run, he could.

But the other party has a wood spirit aura on his body, and it may be related to the wise man. Even though Angel said he was not sure, he still thought in his heart that this might be the surprise that the wise man said.

Since it is a surprise, no matter whether there is a surprise or a surprise or no surprise, you must get in touch to know it.

If contact is the opponent's purpose, then it will definitely not run away wholeheartedly. As long as it delineates a range and slowly restricts the opponent's movement space, it will be able to find the opponent sooner or later.

It's kind of a dumb idea, but it's a good one here.

They knew very well how strong the wood spirit's concealment ability was. Angel met the wood spirit by chance.

But this time, another existence with the same hidden ability as the wood spirit appeared. There is no tricky way, so it can only rely on stupid ways.

If the stupid method doesn't work in the end, and the other party still doesn't want to show up, then... that's all.

As Angel said before, he didn't expect any surprises.

It's good to have surprises and joys, but it's not bad to have no surprises and no joys.

……

Because this is a covered corridor with walls on both sides, it is very simple to hunt.

Angel used his feet as the boundary, connected the left and right walls, and delineated half the range.

For the other half of the range, Suling will go forward to find a position beyond the opponent and delineate another boundary.

The process of Suling surpassing the opponent's position will inevitably be discovered by it. If it escapes, then everything will be forsaken, as if this did not happen.

If the other party didn't run away, the hunt would be more than half successful.

The hunting operation officially started, Angel easily delineated the boundary, while Su Ling manipulated the alchemy puppet and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

A few seconds later, the wood spirit wrote on Angel's palm: "Exceeded."

Angor waited for a few more seconds, and after confirming that the wood spirit had no intention of modifying it, he finally signaled Su Ling to place the boundary on the other side.

Soon, a "hunting corridor" of about 200 meters was separated by them.

After doing all this, Angel confirmed to the wood spirit again whether the other party was within the hunting range.

The final answer: "Yes."
