Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2769 The Poet
Since the opponent is still within the hunt, it's easy.As long as the hunting range is continuously reduced, it is equivalent to suppressing the opponent's space for movement, and in the end it will inevitably be forced to show up because the scope of movement is too narrow.

In order to let the hidden creature relax its vigilance, Angel told Su Ling not to move, and they continued to move forward at the previous pace.

At first, the other party didn't realize that Angel had set up a defensive net behind him, so they still just moved slowly.

But as Angel and the others moved faster and faster, the other party also sensed something was wrong and began to move quickly.

At the same time, the wood spirit also wrote a line of words on Angor's palm with tiny vines: it is running.

When the wood spirit wrote this typesetting slowly, Angel vaguely felt that the defensive net behind him seemed to be touched by something. He looked back, but saw nothing.

At this time, after the wood spirit wrote the previous typesetting, it started to write new characters: it hit and ran back.

Seeing this typesetting, Angel was convinced that the defense net had indeed hit the hidden creature.It's just that the reaction was not timely at all. As for waiting for the judgment of the wood spirit?Not to mention.After Mu Ling finished writing the typesetting, several seconds had passed since Angel felt that the defense net had been collided.

Therefore, Mu Ling's words can only be used as a reference for the reappearance of old news, and it is basically impossible to be a live commentary.

Now that the other party had sensed that something was wrong, Angel did not let Su Ling stop in place, but let it move forward wrapped in a defensive net made of wind.

In this way, Angor and Su Ling walked towards each other at the same time, and the range of activities of the hidden creature was compressed faster.

More than ten seconds later, the distance between Angel and Suling was less than 20 meters.

And this 20 meters is the "final circle" of the hunting range.

Angel stopped in his tracks, and at the same time, signaled Su Ling to stop moving.

It's not that Angel was scared, but that the range of 20 meters is a relatively suitable distance, and if it continues to be restricted, the pressure on the opponent will be even greater.

If the other party is really a "surprise" given to them by the wise master, then it is also a kind of respect to leave a little room for the other party.

As for whether the other party wants this leeway, we will know by its next reaction.

After Angel stopped, he was ready to wait for the other party's reaction.However, before waiting for the other party's reaction, they waited for Doakes' countdown first.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Angor glanced at Doakes, who gave him a look, secretly made a "no problem" gesture, and continued to count down.

Angel also understood what Doakes meant. This was an ultimatum to the hidden creatures.

Obviously, Doakes knew what Angor meant by stopping, but he probably felt that giving the other party leeway could not be unlimited.So I took the initiative to join the ten countdowns, and continue to exert a sense of psychological urgency through the rhythm of the countdown.

Angel didn't stop it... Anyway, he couldn't stop it, so he let Doakes count down.

When Doakes counted down the first five counts, the rhythm was slow and regular, but at the last five counts, he suddenly changed his speed and accelerated the rhythm of his thoughts.

This method of changing the rhythm is also a common method in psychology... However, the "commonly used" here refers to social interaction.

Angel was quite curious, where did Doakes learn this method?

Was he taught a lesson by someone, and he learns after realizing his shame?Or do you want to learn this method actively and want to use it in other people's hands?
No matter what the answer is, Angel feels that if Doakes follows him in the future, it's better to keep women away from him...

When Angor's Italian horse galloped wildly, Doakes' countdown entered the last three numbers.

But before Doakes could count the three numbers, everyone heard a strange voice coming from their ears.

"Treasure hunter, your countdown confuses me. Do you want to witness my arrival with your own eyes?"

This voice has an obvious tone, um... very poetic tone, it seems that he deliberately learned the way of speaking of chanting, judging from the sound line, it belongs to the clear and clear youthful voice.

The "treasure hunter" named by the other party, plus the key information of "countdown", it is basically certain that they are talking to Doakes.

However, Doakes' expression was confused: "Huh?"

"Treasure hunter, I will grant your wish, but can you pay the price of this wish?"

After the words fell, Doakes was just about to say, "My wish is not to witness your arrival", but before he could say it, a shadow appeared in front of everyone.

This is a young man in a green robe, holding a harp in his hand, and wearing an elegant flat hat.

A look at the dress, it is the appearance of a bard.

As for his appearance, he couldn't see it very clearly, because he was wearing a mask.The mask is not complete, it only covers the right eye and one-third of the face, the rest of the uncovered area looks okay, it seems to be a handsome young man.

After the poet holding the harp appeared, he still stared straight at Doakes: "I have descended, and now I am the one to claim the price."

Doakes looked contemptuous: "Who would have thought of witnessing your arrival, this is not my wish."

The poet completely ignored Doakes' rebuttal, and continued: "The price you have to pay is..."

After a pause, the poet plucked the harp casually, and everyone saw a complicated derivation of the formula in front of Doakes.

This formula has been deduced at least [-] times, densely covering the entire wall of light.

At the end of this formula, there is an equal sign, followed by a big question mark.

"Solve this formula and give an interpretation. This is the price you have to pay." After finishing speaking, the poet leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in silence.

Only Doakes was left looking dumbfounded at the light wall in front of him.

"What the hell is going on here? Is this bard the creature that just hid?" Doakes asked in the psychic belt.

Angel: "Yes, but not all of them."

Angel's answer was full of contradictions, not only Doakes didn't understand, but everyone else looked at Angel suspiciously.

Angel: "According to the wood spirit, when this bard appeared, the hidden aura disappeared."

Doakes: "What does that mean? Poets are hidden creatures?"

Angel shook his head: "I further inquired about the place where the hidden creature disappeared, and found an abnormality. There were signs of the activation of the magic circle where its breath disappeared."

Doakes: "Magic circle? You mean..."

Angel: "Mostly it was the master of the wise who made the move. Only the master of the wise can activate the magic array from the core node, and the magic energy array activated from the core node can limit the transmission of energy fluctuations, which we did not feel before The reason why the magic circle was activated."

If Angel hadn't checked carefully, it would have been difficult to find this point.

"The wise man dominates the shot, and is there any connection with this poet?" Wai also asked curiously.

Angel: "Although the wise master activated the magic circle, the place where the hidden creature disappeared just now cannot travel through space, that is to say, the other party is probably still nearby."

"However, there is no aura of wood spirit derivatives around, so the opponent's location may be in the gap between the magic circle and reality."

"As for this poet, because he doesn't have the aura of wood spirit derivatives, so he is not the hidden creature before, or to be precise, not all of them." Angel: "But he can't appear out of thin air, so the probability is that A method created by hidden creatures."

"This method is to let me solve the problem?!" Doakes' astonished emotion can even be perceived by everyone through the soul tie.

Angel was also a little puzzled by this, so he chose to remain silent this time.

It was Wai who spoke at this moment: "I noticed just now that the poet only talked to Doakes from the beginning to the end, and the others didn't even look at it."

Doakes: "So?"

Wai: "So I think, he came here just for you."

Doakes still didn't understand. At this time, Earl Hei said: "If you want to know the truth, you need to solve this puzzle. If you are not interested in the truth, then we will move on."

Earl Black was right, they could completely ignore the poet and move on.

However, if this poet is the "surprise" that the wise master said, Doakes didn't want to miss it so vaguely.

For wandering wizards, "missing" can make them remember for a lifetime.

To put it bluntly, Doakes wanted to take advantage of the poet.If he misses it, when he dreams back at midnight in the future, he will probably continue to start his self-criticism with "if I hadn't missed it at the beginning".

"Then let's see how to solve the problem? But, the content of this problem... I can't understand it."

Doakes directly avoided the option of "move on", and everyone guessed his thoughts.But no one pointed it out, because they were also very curious about what this so-called surprise would be.

"The title is a variation of Tao Miheba's puzzle, and it's not too difficult." It was Kael who had been silent until now.

Doakes turned his head and stared at Kael with bright eyes.

Although Doakes didn't speak, the meaning has been conveyed to Kael through the longing eyes.

Kael hesitated for a moment: "Then let me try?"

Doakes: "Okay, you say I will write."

For the next time, Kael calculated in his mind, and Doakes copied it. After copying, he continued to wait idly for the next derivation.

"It hits Kael's major." Angel sighed beside him.

The Tao Miheba puzzle is a number theory problem that appeared a long time ago, and it can actually be summarized in mathematics.However, if applied to supernatural structures, then this is a typical spatial puzzle.

The space department is not as comfortable as outsiders imagined, because this is a department that puts a lot of emphasis on arithmetic talents.

When space wizards fight, no matter where they are, they have to do a lot of brain calculations according to local conditions, so as to build a complete and suitable space structure.

And once there is a problem with the space structure, the consequences can be much more terrifying than other types of backlash, and it may even cause a local space rebound.

This has led to the fact that all space wizards are geniuses in calculation.

And those who are not geniuses are eliminated...

"However, even without Kael, can you help?" Black Earl asked.

Earl Black is not aimless, Angel has a very strong ability to analyze space, and even stepped into the dangerous void full of cracks with Kael before.

Coupled with the instant space teleportation technique used by Angel, it can be seen from these details that Angel must be no stranger to space science.

Also, among the major departments proficient in mathematics, apart from the space department, there are epigraphy and magic patterns, and Angor directly occupies the latter two.

Angel did not answer Earl Hei directly, but said with a smile: "The poem is neatly written, but it is a bit far-fetched."

Earl Hei also smiled: "Is this considered poetry?"

Ingres: "Any expression can become poetry as long as it can break sentences."

Wai, who has been listening to the chat, just feels confused at this moment.The conversation between Angor and Earl Hei was understandable at the beginning, but since Angor started talking about "poetry" without beginning or end, he couldn't understand it at all, as if it was a dialogue between two worlds .

When Vai was trying to think about the connection, Kael's surprised voice came from the psychic belt:
"The solution has been solved, and this is the final expression. Now only the analysis is left!" After a while, Vai suddenly said "huh": "...Is this like a poem?"

"The wind stirred his soft long hair, blowing, blowing that moving tune."

"Go and listen, it's the wind singing."

"Go and cheer, that is the song written by the wind."

"For the enduring vines, together, sing... Luigi's Song in the Wind."

Wye analyzed it, and Doakes copied it.

At the same time, Doakes is also complaining: How can this be called poetry?Moaning without illness, right?What is Luigi's Singing in the Wind?
When the last stroke was made, water ripples appeared on the light wall in front of Doakes. After the water ripples, the light wall disappeared, and an aria came from his ears.

The one who sang the tune was the poet who had suddenly appeared before, and what he sang was the... poem deciphered by Wai?

Soon, the poet sang the last line with a beautiful voice: "For the everlasting vines, together, sing... Luigi's Song in the Wind."

The moment the voice fell, the poet tapped the clarinet lightly, ending the singing.

Then, holding the clarinet horizontally, with one hand resting on his chest, he bowed lightly to Doakes: "I accept your price. You should feel honored that such a beautiful poem can be born under your pen."

Doakes: ...No, not at all honored.

"Finally, I hope you can remember my name, my name is... Luigi."

As the words fell, the poet named Luigi turned into countless light spots and disappeared.

Only a broken mask remained on the ground.
