"There are only two possibilities," said Rein.
"Things that can interest the Black Earl are either strange and mysterious, or things that he can't see through."
"The Dark Earl is a very curious man who is always interested in the unknown. Most importantly, the existence of 'his consciousness' allows the Black Earl to go without his real body, so he doesn't care about the danger. Even if he dies during the exploration, 'his consciousness' can return to his original consciousness and satisfy his curiosity. "
"Because of this, the Dark Earl often sent his descendants to seek death.
"Oh, right. When you were in the Abyss Plane, the Dark Earl sent someone to the Sleepless City of the Evernight Kingdom, which is covered by the dome. As for what happened … you can guess.
"When I met his' right hand ', the Dark Earl learned about the Astral Pool Ruin and asked him to go there with his' right hand '. But I didn't agree.
"That guy used his' consciousness' to return and obtained a lot of secret information. Sometimes, I have to go to him and ask for some information. But I hate that mysterious look on his face the most. It's like he has everything under his control. Every time I see him, I want to punch someone. "
Perhaps it was because no one present was an outsider, Rhine was not as cautious as he used to be and spoke more casually. Angor could tell that Rein was quite close to the Dark Earl. The fact that Rein talked about the Dark Earl in such a joking manner was more than enough proof.
However, Rein was talking about the Dark Earl as a friend, so the Dark Earl sounded like a curious man who used his "consciousness" to cast a wide net.
However, under this filter, the Dark Earl was still a cruel man. As long as he was curious about the unknown, he wouldn't care about the lives of his descendants. At least, Angor didn't like people like that.
"If the Dark Earl is so curious, he could have sent his alchemy puppet instead of his own descendant."
Rhine said, "I've asked him this question before. The answer he gave me was that every adventure is a form of training. This can train his descendants and allow them to grow faster. "
"Perhaps the Black Earl did have that intention, but the real answer shouldn't be like that."
Rhine was silent for a moment. "I can tell you my guess, but don't tell anyone about this. Even if you do, don't say that I said it."
Angor nodded. "Of course."
Rhine said, "My personal guess is that the Black Earl's' other consciousness' might need the Noah Clan's bloodline to be fully utilized. Although this is just a guess, you said before that the Noah clansman named Wayi inherited the Black Earl's' Smell of Death 'talent, and this kind of talent inheritance is definitely controlled by the Black Earl. Therefore, this also proves my point. "
"Only the Noah Clan's bloodline can carry his consciousness and converse with his consciousness. Moreover, his consciousness can also see, hear, and hear through the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue of his bloodline descendants. Otherwise, how could he explore the ruins if he couldn't even see Wa Yi's nose? "
After Rhine said this, he added, "Of course, the above is only my guess. Whether it's true or not, you can judge for yourself."
Compared to training his descendants, he preferred to believe Rhine's guess. Alchemy puppets weren't expensive either. If the Black Earl didn't use alchemy puppets to explore the ruins, there must be a limit. Bloodline restriction was the most likely explanation.
"I think I've understood something after listening to you." Iron Granny, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
Iron Granny said, "I haven't been to many large-scale tea parties, but I never saw the Noah Clan in any of them. Before this, I thought the Noah Clan's witches didn't like to attend tea parties. But now, if what Rhine said is true, the answer is clear. "
Tea parties were usually just about drinking tea and chatting, but the amount of information exchanged during them was definitely the best in the entire southern region.
If a Noah Clan witch heard something that piqued the Black Earl's interest, they might be ordered to explore the ruins. If that really happened, their lives would be in danger.
This was why Iron Granny didn't see any Noah Clan witches in her tea party.
"I think the Noah Clan isn't born as a shut-in. Maybe they were forced into it."
Iron Granny nodded in agreement. "I didn't know much about the Black Earl before this. But he rarely caused trouble, and he's a good friend of Rhine's, so I had a good impression of him. But now … ugh … "
Iron Granny sighed and shook her head. She didn't know how to explain.
Rhine continued, "The Black Earl doesn't have to kill his descendants. Once his organs are destroyed, even if 'his consciousness' returns, it will still cause some damage to the Black Earl's body. During the exploration, the Black Earl's organs will do everything they can to protect his descendants. There's no doubt about that. "
"Exploring ruins is a risky business in and of itself. It's not bad for his descendants to have the power of a truth-finder to protect them. Our safety is guaranteed, and the Black Earl won't ask for the benefits we get. "
The Black Earl was Rhine's good friend, after all. Seeing Iron Granny's disgusted look, Rhine quickly put in a few good words for his friend.
"So, don't worry. If there's any danger, the Black Earl's nose will come out to protect you. All he needs is to satisfy his curiosity. "
Angor nodded. If Rhine was right, having Wai involved in the exploration wasn't a good thing, but it wasn't a bad thing either.
"That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to ask? If you want to know what the Black Earl's nose can do, I don't know. But I think it's something like Earth Manipulation. "
"The Black Earl is an Earth Wizard?"
Rhine nodded. "Not just the Black Earl. Every Noah Clan member is an Earth Wizard. The only difference is their ability."
Rein gave Angor a "I'm leaving if you don't have anything else to say" look.
"How did the Dark Count know that something strange is going to happen in this expedition?" Did he smell something strange? "
"I can guess that," Rhine said. "I think the Black Earl's nose is the same as Wai's. He didn't find anything strange.
"It's precisely because he couldn't smell it that he became curious."
If he did, the Black Earl wouldn't care if he was dead or alive. Only the Black Earl would be surprised if he couldn't smell anything.
The Black Earl's Smell of Death and Wai's Smell of Death were two different things. Wai's Smell of Death was basically the same as the Black Earl's.
In other words, if a level-3 wizard couldn't smell anything, there must be something strange going on.
Something strange would arouse the Black Earl's curiosity.
"I see." Angor finally understood what was going on. He thought the Black Earl knew about the secret of the "wall", but it turned out that the Black Earl was just curious about something.
"Speaking of which, are you sure you want to explore a ruin that even the Black Earl thinks is strange?" Rhine asked.
Angor nodded without hesitation. No matter what, he still wanted to check it out.
Rhine saw Angor's determination and stopped trying to persuade him. Angor had many life-saving items on him, so he should be fine.
Besides …
Iron Granny took a sip of her tea. "I don't usually log off. Come to me if you need help."
Iron Granny meant that Angor should ask for help if there was any danger.
"Thank you, Granny. But I don't think we'll be in too much danger this time. The ruin we're in isn't that dangerous, after all."
Rhine, who was about to go offline, suddenly paused. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. Which ruin are you exploring?"
"Garden Labyrinth."
Both Rhine and Iron Granny didn't know what to say.
Countless wizards had explored the ruin before, and they knew everything about it. No wonder Angor said it was safe.
Still, Rhine didn't want to ruin Angor's mood. He cleared his throat and said, "It's not a bad ruin. Sunders also went to Garden Labyrinth during his first exploration. Maybe this can become a routine project for Phantom Island."
Before Angor could say anything, Rhine said, "I have something else to do. I'll be going now."
When Rhine disappeared, Angor looked at Iron Granny. Iron Granny's expression remained the same. "Rhine forgot one thing. Garden of Labyrinth is Nether City."
"You want to find the secret of Nether City, right?"
"I don't know if there are any secrets there. Maybe there's nothing there. It's just a meaningless wall."
"Go ahead. Since Dark Count is interested, maybe you can find the secret of Nether City." Iron Granny took a sip of her tea and continued, "If you come across any interesting stories, feel free to share them with me. Old people like to listen to interesting stories. "
"I'll tell you, Granny," Angor said. "But you're not old."
"How am I not old?" Iron Granny looked at Angor curiously. She wondered what kind of answer Angor would give.
Angor didn't hesitate at all. "How about when Lady Mirror wakes up, I'll tell her that I'm old?"
Iron Granny didn't know what to say.
Angor continued, "My answer won't be as good as Lady Mirror's, so I think it's better for Lady Mirror to tell Granny. “
Dorcas and the others are still waiting for my answer. I'll be going now. See you later, Granny. "
Angor bowed to Iron Granny and slowly disappeared from sight.
Iron Granny snorted in annoyance at first, but she soon chuckled again.
People from Phantom Island tended to have low EQ, but Angor was an interesting person. He was said to have a low EQ, but his answer was very clever.
It was rare to see someone so interesting in Phantom Island. She hoped Angor wouldn't become as boring as Sunders.
…
Angor didn't go to see Dorcas right away. Instead, he continued to work on the sword embryo with Dangros.
He planned to finish the sword first before doing anything else.
Half a day later, there was only one rune left. Looking at the familiar "conversion" rune, Angor couldn't help but think of several bad names.
White hat … black hat … crazy hat …
Angor quickly shook his head to get rid of all the bad names.
The crazy hat's coronation could be used on the dagger, but who knew if it could also be used as a "key". If it was a black hat, the effect would be completely different.
So, he decided not to think about the hat.
Angor quietly finished the last stroke.
As the magic array was completed, so was the dagger. As soon as the dagger was finished, it began to release a bright golden light and floated into the air.
In the next second, he found himself in a strange illusion.
Angor knew that this was an alchemy omen.
Angor had experienced alchemy omens many times before, so he didn't panic at all. He began to look around.
It was a white world with cotton-like clouds under his feet. A pink light floated in the sky.
Above the clouds was a pink sky.
The omen this time was very girlish.
After looking around, Angor finally stopped in front of him. There was nothing but white clouds around him. There was only a white statue in front of him.
Since he couldn't see what the statue was, Angor decided to approach it.
When he got closer, he realized that it wasn't a statue. It was a human figure formed by white clouds.
Judging from his appearance, he was a young man.
The man was holding a drawing board and drawing at a very fast speed.
Angor didn't interrupt him. Instead, he walked behind the man and looked at the drawing on the board.
It should be a beautiful girl in the drawing. "Should be" was because it was all white. Angor could only see a faint white outline under his pen. It was a portrait of a young girl.
Soon, the man finished his drawing. He admired it for a while and showed a troubled expression.
Of course, Angor couldn't see it. He sensed the man's distress.
Angor already had experience in dealing with alchemy omens. He knew it was time for him to show up.
"What's bothering you? Why don't you tell me? I might be able to help you. "Angor smiled.
The man glanced at Angor and spoke his mind without asking who he was. "I'm finally going to confess to her. But I don't think giving her the painting is enough to express my feelings. Can you think of some love poems for me? I want to write it beside the drawing so she can understand my feelings. "
Angor didn't know what to say.
