Wai once asked the alchemy puppet how to pass the test. The alchemy puppet's answer was, "Touch the Casket of Sisya with your hand, and it will tell you."
Wai's attempt confirmed that the Chest of Sisia actually possessed some sort of intelligence.
Now that he knew the existence of such an "intelligent being", Angor would not leave even if the alchemy puppet allowed him to pass the test. No matter what, he had to try to communicate with it.
When Angor's hand touched the Chest of Sisia …
The red light around the chest shone brightly.
Strangely, Angor was not dragged into the dark space like Wai. Nothing changed except for being surrounded by the red light. Even the Spirit Bond created by Black Earl was still there.
While he was wondering, his left earlobe suddenly felt hot and painful, as if it was being burned by fire.
Did Oderklas activate his Fire Seal? What's going on?
Angor was puzzled when he heard a clear female voice. "Huh? That's familiar … "
"Who are you?" Angor did not know who was speaking, so he decided to ask directly.
"Is someone talking to you?" Black Earl looked at Angor in confusion.
Angor nodded at Black Earl and looked back at the Chest of Sisia. "Are you talking to me? You're this chest? "
"I can't affect the outside world. If you want to know who I am, you have to seal off anything on you that can resist my power …"
It was still the same female voice, but it was getting weaker and weaker. In the end, it was almost inaudible.
Angor tried to talk to her again, but there was no response. Even the red light around him was slowly fading away.
The others did not know what was going on. Did Angor just pass the test? Or not?
"What's going on?" Black Earl asked again.
Angor considered and said in his mind, "Someone was whispering to me just now. It's a woman. I think she's the one Wai met in the dark space. "
"You weren't pulled into the dark space, sir?" Wai asked curiously.
"I have multiple layers of defenses on me. She can't break through them. Her whisper just now was to tell me to seal off the defensive power in my body … "
Everything happened so suddenly that even Count Black did not notice the flaws in Angor's words.
"She asked you to remove your defense because she wanted to pull you into the pitch-black space?" The Black Earl pondered for a moment and said, "What do you plan to do?"
Angor chuckled and removed all of his defensive barriers in front of everyone. He even turned Elmi into an earring that glowed blue and stuck it into his left earlobe.
He showed his choice with his actions.
He had originally intended to communicate with the other party, so how could he give up such a rare opportunity?
Before Count Dark could say anything else, Angor had already closed his eyes, which caused the red light around them to dim down.
…
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by darkness.
Come to think of it, this should be the pitch-black space that Wa Yi had experienced before. But … where was that female voice?
While Angor was looking around, a pair of glowing hands reached through the mist and silently touched his body.
Angor did not feel anything at first until the hands touched his earlobe. Both Angor and the owner of the hands felt something burning them at the same time.
He quickly turned around and saw a pair of hands glowing in the darkness.
"You're the Enchantment from Sisia's Chest?" Angor did not know that the woman had already touched all of his blind spots. He thought she only touched his ear. That was why he was still able to face the hands calmly.
"Spiritual Attachment? I'm not that kind of thing. Listen carefully, I'm Sisya." The crisp female voice had a trace of inexplicable arrogance.
"You said your name is Siscia? So you're the one who created the Chest? You're a spirit? " Angor could not see "Sisia" in the darkness, so he could not tell who she was.
"Hmph! Don't you know the rules, human? You put in a demon coin that represents absolute justice, but you didn't achieve the balance that Crown Clown seeks. "
"You mean …" Angor frowned.
"I've answered one of your questions. Now, it's my turn!" Sisia purposely raised her voice to show her arrogance. Angor could already imagine a proud woman with her chin held high while looking at others from the side.
"I thought introducing myself was a courtesy, not a question," Angor said. "But since this is your territory, I'll let you call the shots."
Angor didn't mind the question at all. He didn't want the man to be thrown out like Wai, which was something he didn't want to see.
Communication was Angor's goal.
If he was not mistaken, Sisia was the only intelligent being who met the Wood Spirit apart from the Wise Overlord. Perhaps he could obtain some information about the Wood Spirits from her, or perhaps some information about the Wise Sage.
"Answer me. What's sealed inside your left earlobe?"
Angor knew that Sisia would ask questions about his earlobe when she sneakily touched his earlobe. But he did not expect Sisia to go straight to the point without any preamble.
"I'm only asking who you are, but you're asking about my secret. If you are really looking for absolute equality with the Crown Clown, then the value of this question is incomparable to the question I asked earlier. "
If Sisia was talking about the equivalent exchange in the wizarding world, Angor would not mind exchanging one question for another. However, Sisya mentioned the Crown Clown's philosophy first, and the Crown Clown's philosophy was' absolute fairness'. The exchange was not fair. The exchange was only fair in the eyes of the Crown Clown if the exchange was of equal value.
Since Sisia mentioned the Crown Clown's philosophy, Angor did not mind answering her with the same philosophy.
As expected, Sisia paused for a moment after hearing Angor's words.
A few seconds later, Angor heard someone muttering in a low voice, "How can a man be so stingy?"
"I'm not 20 yet." Angor did not mind revealing his real age.
If Sisia's Chest existed since the beginning of time, she must be at least ten thousand years old. Compared to her, Angor was only 20 years old.
"Do you only know how to choke people?" Sisia spoke through gritted teeth. Angor could tell how angry she was right now.
"No. I'm not choking people. I'm talking according to your standards. If you're strict, I'll be strict. If you want to be generous, I'll be generous too. But if you want me to be generous, and you're strict with me, then there's nothing to talk about. "
Angor paused. "By the way, this is also a question and answer round.
"So, we're now even again. It's my turn to ask. "
Sisia remained silent for a long time.
He didn't know what was going on in Sisia's mind, but his Beyonder Senses were still working. He could tell that Sisia wasn't feeling calm at all.
After a while, Sisia spoke again, "Alright, go ahead."
This time, Sisia did not say anything else. Her arrogance slowly faded away.
"My question is still the same as before. I already know that your name is Sisya, but in what form do you exist? I'm curious. "
Angor considered. "Oh, right. I'm young, so it's normal for me to be stingy. I hope you don't have to continue this unpleasant conversation. "
Sisia humphed. "You're just like a turnip. If I see someone like you in the past, I'll kick your ass!"
Angor chuckled but did not say anything.
Sisia went back to the topic. "What form do I exist in? Didn't you see it? My body exists in the shape of a box, and my thoughts are imprisoned in this box. I'm neither a spirit nor an undead spirit. My soul has merged with the box, and I can't sense it. So, I don't know what form I exist in. Maybe it's an amalgamation of memories? Or maybe it's some unknown energy. "
Sisia's answer was perfect, but it was also difficult to understand.
Normal wizards would not be able to understand it in a short time. But Angor was different. He saw Bobota's soul being taken away by a demon, but his consciousness remained in the dream wasteland.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised to see something like this without a soul but still had its own thoughts and consciousness.
Of course, Angor did not know how to explain it either.
"That's a good answer. I think I understand your situation. Now, it's your turn to ask."
Sisia scoffed. "I don't think you can understand my situation."
Next, Sisia's voice came from the dark mist. "My question is about your left ear. I'm very interested in it, but I won't ask in a specific way. Tell me as much as you can. "
Sisia's words were quite cunning. It sounded like she was trying to curry favor with Angor. However, it was hard to tell what she was trying to do.
However, no matter what Cisia thought, she had clearly taken off the coat of absolute equality in the Crown Clown's philosophy. In a way, he was giving in to Angor.
"I don't know what you want to know. I'll tell you as much as I can."
Next, Angor began to talk with confidence.
Since Sisia was willing to give in, Angor did not need to use any tricks. Otherwise, Angor would start talking about the change of his left ear from the moment he "landed" on the ground.
What Sisia wanted to know had to be related to the flame mark. But he did not know how much Sisia wanted to know.
If it was only a superficial flame mark and Oderklas's situation … Angor could tell her.
But if she wanted to know more … Angor would have to think twice.
Therefore, Angor's "left ear" was basically just a facade.
For example, the earring on his ear was created by some kind of shadow creature, which temporarily sealed the mark inside.
Also, the mark on his earlobe was a symbol of friendship with a big figure in the abyss.
In the end, he briefly described the rumors about the Abyss Wizard, Oderklas, and stopped talking.
"That's all I can say for now. Are you satisfied?"
Angor pretended to ask "are you satisfied?" in order to test Sisia's intention.
If Angor said "satisfied", then what Sisia wanted to know would be contained in the things he told her. If Angor said "not satisfied", then Sisia wanted to know the deepest secret.
"Your left ear can talk a lot," Sisia said. "Judging from the weight of your answers, you put a lot of effort into it. Too bad you didn't tell me what I want to know. "
In other words, Sisia was not satisfied.
Angor lowered his eyebrows. He already had an idea in his mind.
"It's my turn now. To save time, I'll just ask two questions. How about that?"
The slim hand in the darkness waved casually. "Do as you wish."
Angor could tell that Sisia was tired. Maybe she did not get what she wanted to know, so she started to lose interest.
This was very normal. After all, these old monsters had already lost their passion with the passage of time. The fact that Angor's left ear could ignite some of Sisia's curiosity was already impressive.
"First question. Do you mean treasures that contain emotional value?"
Cisia said, "That's right. The items that the owner can't bear to part with often have some indescribable emotions attached to them. These emotions can make my boring life a little bit happier. By the way, your two gold coins are very valuable to me. You can feel that you can't bear to part with them. "
"So I pass?"
"That's a gift for you. Yes. Once you get out of here, I'll leave a mark for you. You'll be qualified to continue. "
She saw Angor's eyes flicker a little. She was about to finish, but she changed her mind when she saw the strange look on Angor's face.
"I know what you're thinking. Why does this place allow you to exchange treasures for the right to move forward, right?"
Angor nodded.
"It's not a secret, but it's too complicated to explain. I'll have to start from the beginning, and I'm too lazy to go into it. You only need to know that the treasures here were given to you by the warden. Now, I'm the one who decides what treasures we want. "
Sisia did not go into details, but she already got to the point.
To pass through this place, one must have a pass or something valuable. Ten thousand years ago, what the warden wanted was different from what he wanted now.
So maybe the so-called treasures from ten thousand years ago were actually fixed treasures, and "they" could be considered as "passes"?
Angor only thought about it for a moment. He did not really ask. He was indeed curious about the treasures from ten thousand years ago, but that was not the most important thing right now.
"Hurry up. I'm going to rest after that. I hate kids the most, especially the cunning ones. I don't want to waste time with you. " Angor even heard Sisia yawn as she spoke, which meant Sisia's enthusiasm was waning.
Since that was the case, he decided to put aside his question about wood spirits for now and change it to something else.
"My second question is about you, Sisia."
Sisia snickered. "You're that interested in me? Too bad I'm not interested in hairless things. "
Angor did not mind Sisia's sarcasm.
"Is Sisia a Baiyuan?"
