"Tell me about it then." Cissia adjusted her sitting position and crossed her legs. She rested her chin on one hand as if waiting for Angor's answer.
"Miss Cissia, I heard a lot about Noah's ancestors. I believe you're related to the Noah Clan, Miss Cissia."
Sisya frowned but didn't refute him. "Then what? What are you trying to say? "
"Miss Cissia, don't you think it's strange that we suddenly met two descendants of Noah Clan? One of them, Black Earl, is one of the strongest wizards in the entire southern wizardry region. Why did he join my team to explore the underground waterway, which is already known as an abandoned ruin? "
Cissia understood what Angor was trying to say, but she still did not know what he was trying to say. Or was he trying to do something?
"I don't think it's strange that we suddenly met two descendants of Noah Clan. I think it's more strange that we met someone with the Origin Flame, who also brought me and Bai Yuan together." Cissia raised an eyebrow.
"… It's really a coincidence on my end."
Cissy said, "Coincidence? Compared to your coincidence, your two Noah Academy teammates are more reasonable. "
Now that I think about it, I really can't argue with that.
Cissia humphed. "Just get to the point. Don't beat around the bush. I hate beating around the bush the most. What's the point of beating around the bush? "
"Fine, I'll get straight to the point." Angor did not try to keep Cissia in suspense. As it turned out, doing that could easily get you into trouble.
"Actually, the two Noah Clan members weren't part of our team when we started planning this ruin exploration," Angor explained. "Black Earl and Vaay suddenly joined my team the day before we set out."
"And then? What's so strange about it?"
"Miss Cissia, you've seen Vaay's Black Crystal, so you should know that Vaay's personality is very different from ordinary people. He stays in his shop all the time and rarely steps out of the safe zone. "
Cissia said, "The wizards of the academy are all good at staying at home. What's the big deal?"
"It's not the same. It's not that Wai doesn't want to leave. He's just afraid of Count Black. Just like what I told you before, the Black Earl divided his organs into countless parts and placed them beside his descendants, causing them to be on tenterhooks, afraid that they would be tricked by the Black Earl. "
"From our point of view, Wa Yi may be overly delusional about being persecuted, but Wa Yi is in the middle of the game, and it is difficult for him to see the entire game clearly. He is the same as the other descendants, and if there is nothing important, he will definitely not go out."
Sisya thought to herself, this is true.
"This time, Ray was invited by his good friend, Dorcas, to the Magus Bazaar where we were at that time. Dorcas tried to use his sense of death to determine the degree of danger in this exploration of the ruins."
"Dorcas? The Bloodline Adept? What a coward. "Sisia sneered.
"It could also be that he was being overly cautious. In any case, that's the final result. Whether or not Dorcas received a satisfactory answer is another matter, but the Black Earl strongly requested for Vay to join the team. "
"The Black Earl's position makes it impossible for me to refuse."
Cisia asked, "And then? Why did they insist on joining?"
"At first, I was just curious, but I didn't think too much about it." "But when we came to the ruins of Nether City to look for the entrance to the underground sewer, we ran into something unexpected." "That's right," Angor said with a straight face. "But when we came to the ruins of Nether City to look for the entrance to the underground sewer, something unexpected happened.
Next, Angor explained how they found the underground church, solved the mystery of the church, and found the remaining information in the church, as well as the … Uisu language engraved on the table.
Cisia asked, "Uisu language? It has something to do with the Noah Clan. I think it came from there. It used to be popular for a while, but it slowly declined. "
"Miss Sisya, do you know Uisu language?"
Garcia said, "Of course. Noah wrote love poems for my friend in Uisu."
"Since you know it, why don't you take a look at what's written on it?" Angor used an illusion spell to simulate the Uisu language they found in the church. "The Black Earl is the only one in our team who knows Uisu language. He told us some of the information."
Angor briefly explained what Black Earl told him. "But he also admitted that he hid something from us."
"So you want me to see what he's hiding?" Sisya asked.
Angor nodded.
It was rare for Cissia to be interested. After all, these things probably happened when she was unconscious after becoming a box. She also wanted to know what happened in Nether City at that time.
Sisya looked at the lines of Uisu language in the illusion and began to read them in a soft voice.
But after a few words, Ciesia stopped.
Most of them were words that had nothing to do with each other, and most of them were compliments or flattery. She couldn't read a complete sentence. But the compliments were too mushy, so she decided not to read them.
"Most of them are meaningless compliments, and none of them have anything to do with each other. I don't know why they're carved together." Sisya frowned.
"They're engraved on the table where the books are kept. Maybe they're hints left behind by the preacher."
"Even compliments need hints? The Mirror Demon's followers aren't that devout."
After complaining, Xiya continued to read on.
About two minutes later, Sisya looked up with a puzzled look while trying to figure out what was going on in her mind.
"You seem to have learned something, Miss Sisya?"
Cisia said, "I think I know what the Dark Earl is trying to hide. There's a name recorded here. It's Noah's ancestor. "
"You mean Miss Sisya's best friend?"
Sisya hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes. I didn't think I'd see his name again in such a way after ten thousand years.
"Apart from that, the Black Earl didn't hide anything else. But I don't think he did it on purpose. Some of the words are unique to the early Uisu language. Later, the language lost its supernatural power and changed its meaning. That's why there's such a discrepancy. "
"For example, the 'someone' the Black Earl translated is the one you thought was behind the Demon's followers. Actually, the Black Earl didn't translate 'someone' correctly. It should have been 'someone in' someone '. "
"Someone in 'someone'? That's even weirder. "
"You think it's strange because you don't understand the context. Combined with the Mirror Demon's name, you know it means' Shadow in the Mirror '."
"Shadow in the Mirror? Is it an image of the Mirror Demon?"
"I don't know. It's just an image in a mirror. The Black Earl said he didn't know this' someone 'well, as if they've never met before. That's right. They're all communicating with the' Shadow in the Mirror 'through mirrors. "
"Everything else is correct," Angor said.
"According to the Black Earl, a thief stole a holy relic and offered it to a 'ruler'. Does the thief, the relic, and the 'ruler' have anything to do with it?"
"The thief and the relic didn't say anything, so I don't know. But as for the 'ruler' … you can guess, right? The closest organization to the underground church is the Stairs of Hanging Prison. "
"Is it the warden? Or the Wise Ones? "
"Without a doubt, the 'ruler' they mentioned is the warden." "Although the Wise Ones live near the Stairs of Hanging Prison, their status is transcendent. They don't belong to the Stairs of Hanging Prison."
"Then what does this have to do with Noah's ancestor?" Angor asked.
Hearing the question, Cissy also looked confused. "I find it strange too. His name is listed separately, and there's even an important symbol underlined."
"It doesn't feel like he's a target of hatred, nor is he an ally. He's a completely independent entity … I don't get it."
"Then do you know anything about the Mirror Demon, Lady Sisia?"
Sisia shrugged. "The Black Earl asked me the same question before, and he even showed the symbol of the Mirror Demon on the stone slab. But I don't know anything about it."
"However, from what you've said, I can already confirm that the incident with the Mirror Demon God must have happened after I transformed into a box. I don't remember it, but if you see the Wise Ones, maybe you can ask them for help. "
"Is the Wise Ones willing to answer? How about I tell them that Miss Sisia asked me to ask for them? "
Cisia said angrily, "I've said it before, don't use my name to show off! It's none of my business whether the Wise Ones answer or not. It's up to you whether you can make them talk or not! "
Let the wise man speak … Let the wise man speak … He thought about what Dodoro told him before. "Wise men are not fools."
Both Dodoro and Sisia mentioned the Wise Ones at the same time.
Maybe Sisia got to the point. Making the Wise Ones talk was the key to everything.
But the only way to make the Wise Ones talk was to use the wood spirit.
Angor relaxed a little. "Miss Sisia, you know how I feel now, don't you? At first, I didn't think that the Black Earl and Vay had any motives for joining us, but when we saw the name of Noah's ancestor before we even entered the underground sewers, this kind of coincidence made me suspect the Black Earl's motives. "
"You can only ask the Black Earl himself. Based on your description, he must have had a premonition. That's why he followed us. He's the only one who knows about it. Besides, you saw the name of my best friend as soon as you arrived. I think he'll be involved in this as well … "
Sisia suddenly added, "Oh right, I've never asked you this before. Why are you exploring the sewers, and what is your goal?"
"So now you think I'm not here for you?"
Sisia didn't mind Angor's teasing. "Are you trying to change the subject?"
Angor didn't try to avoid Sisia's gaze. "We're here because of Khael. He was keen on exploring ruins. Once, when he was exploring a certain ruin, he found an ancient book called "Jaya's Travels". "Jaya's Travels" recorded some of the secrets of the Garden Labyrinth and left something somewhere in the Garden Labyrinth. Oh right, the Garden of Labyrinth is the current name of the sewers in Nether City.
"Khael came to the Garden of Labyrinth and followed the book to find the hidden place Khael mentioned. He also found that thing.
"It's an alchemy blueprint, which can be used as a key to open a certain place deep inside the Garden of Labyrinth. And that place is our destination. "
Sisia lost her prophetic ability after turning into a box, but she still had her intuition. She could tell from Angor's eyes that he wasn't lying, but she wasn't sure if he was trying to hide something.
"So our destination is near the Stairs of Hanging Prison, and we have to pass by the Wise Ones' palace?"
Angor nodded. He already told this to Sisia.
Sisia considered for a moment. "I came to the Stairs of Hanging Prison a lot before I turned into a box, so I know a thing or two about the place. But I've never heard of the destination you're going to. "
"May I ask a more personal question, Miss Sisia?"
Sisia raised an eyebrow. "If it's about a woman's biggest secret, I won't tell you."
Angor didn't know what "a woman's biggest secret" was, but he believed that his question wasn't considered to be related to women as a whole.
"Miss Sisia, you've been talking about a special friend, the one who had an affair with Senior Noah. What's her background?"
Sisia gave him a cautious look. "Why do you ask?"
Angor sighed in his mind. He already knew the answer, but he didn't know how to explain how he knew about Margret.
"So she's the daughter of the warden of the Stairs of Hanging Prison?"
Sisia looked surprised. "How did you know?"
"So I'm right," Angor said, "As for how I know, it's a simple deduction."
Sisia looked even more confused. A simple deduction? A deduction??? You can do that????
Angor cleared his throat to attract Sisia's attention. He then explained his deduction in a serious tone. "You only need to consider several prerequisites and make a reasonable connection.
First of all, it doesn't make sense that the Black Earl suddenly joined our team. I've already discussed it with you, Miss Sisia. "
Sisia nodded. "And?"
"Count Black joined us, and we found the name of Noah's ancestor in the underground church as soon as we arrived. This means Count Black must have sensed something and decided to join us. What do you think he sensed, Miss Sisia? "
Under Angor's guidance, Sisia considered for a moment and said, "Maybe your destination has something to do with Noah's family? No, it has something to do with my dear friend, Noah?! "
Angor nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Miss Sisia, you mentioned two things to me before. First, your dear friend has something going on with Senior Noah."
"Yes." Sisia nodded.
"Second, Miss Sisia, when you learned that our destination is on the other side of the Hall of Wise Men, you said something.
"You said that even ten thousand years ago, it wasn't easy to pass through the Hall of Wise Men. Only the warden's daughter was an exception."
"Yes, I did say that." Sisia nodded.
"Now, all the prerequisites have appeared. 1. The place we're going to might be Ancestor Noah's secret place. 2. That place is at the other end of the Hall of Wise Men. 3. Only the warden's daughter could pass through the Hall of Wise Men 10,000 years ago. 4. Ancestor Noah has an ambiguous relationship with a 'caged bird' with a great background."
"Combining these four premises, what can Miss Sisya think of?"
Sisia followed Angor's guidance. "You're saying that there's a secret meeting place between Noah and my friend on the other side of the Hall of Wise Men?"
"See? So the warden's daughter is the only one who fits the description of your friend, Miss Sisia?"
Sisia nodded and followed Angor's train of thought. "Now that I think about it, without me as a messenger, they'll look for someone else to pass on their message.
"And Margret …" Cissy didn't realize what she had just said until she blurted out the name.
"Since you already guessed it, I'll just tell you. The warden's daughter is called Margaret, and the one from Noah's family is called Augustine."
Angor put on a thoughtful look, but he sighed in relief in his mind. Finally, he could say these two names out loud.
"The only person Margaret and Augustine could find to replace me as a messenger is … the Wise Man," Sisia said.
Sisilia mused: "Margaret is very talented in alchemy, and her father, the warden, found many rare alchemy books for her so that she could continue to practice alchemy."
"When I first met Margaret, she was already quite good at alchemy. Her strength limited her alchemy skills, but theoretically speaking, she could even communicate with the Wise Man.
"Of course the Wise Man knew more than just alchemy. But Margaret's ability to communicate with the Wise Man as an equal is already proof enough.
"The Wise Man liked to communicate with Margaret because they both studied different fields of alchemy. Margaret was more interested in Tooling, while the Wise Man was more interested in Apothecary. Their different alchemy fields often created more sparks between their ideas, and they could learn from each other's strengths to make up for their shortcomings.
"Later on, the Wise Man chose to stay near the Stairs of Hanging Prison. Rumor has it that he wanted to communicate with Margaret.
"From this, we can see that Margaret and the Wise Man were very close. And the Wise Man's identity was very special. He was as special as I was back then.
"So, after I turned into a box, Margaret went to the Wise Man to help her talk to Augustine. That's very likely."
"So you're right." She looked at Angor and said, "That means you're right."
