What was the result of the combination of all the silver objects?
Dorcas looked at Angor and spoke in a teasing tone, "Now, do you still think it's a dagger?"
Everyone was surprised by Dorcas' words.
Angor mentioned that his teacher once lost a dagger while exploring the underground maze. On the dagger, there was the emblem of the Witch's Eye that was hung on the body of the special ghost.
Angor was certain that the silver ornament on the Witch's Eye's body came from Sunders' dagger.
And because it belonged to Sunders, Angor wasted everyone's time trying to find a way to get it.
But now … there was no trace of a dagger at all.
If it was the hilt of a dagger, then it was impossible. It was too big and cumbersome. Even if they took it apart, they could not imagine what a dagger looked like.
But then again, the family emblem on the silver ornament was hard to fake. Angor was almost certain that it belonged to Sunders or someone from the Igulo Family.
Judging from the overall appearance of this object, the silver ring should be one with the silver pendant. Then, there was a high probability that it belonged to the Igulo family.
But according to Cisia's description, the silver ring was the only thing the Wood Spirit treasured the most.
That was interesting.
It belonged to both the Igulo Family and the Wood Spirit. There must be something fishy going on here.
"I admit I was wrong. It doesn't look like a dagger. As for what it is … I have an idea. "
"What is it?"
Angor reached out a hand and gently touched the strange object on the Hand of Spell.
Like the most intimate lover, he slowly slid his hand down until he reached the bottom of the ring. His hand did not stop. Instead, it kept going down.
As he moved his hand down, a glowing black staff appeared under the ring out of thin air.
The staff and the ring were perfectly connected.
They all knew what Angor was trying to say.
This strange looking silver object was actually the head of a short staff.
"It's definitely wrong to call it a dagger. But it's possible that it's a staff, "said Dorcas as he looked at the completed staff created by Angor's illusion.
It had to be said that with the addition of the staff below, the originally strange objects suddenly became harmonious. The possibility of it being the head of a staff was very, very high.
Black Earl: "You're not guessing for no reason, right?"
Angor chuckled. "You're right, Count Dark. The reason why I'm guessing this is because I've asked about the form of the Sisia wood spirit before. "
The Black Earl said, "I've also asked Sisya this question. Her answer is that the wood spirit's innate ability allows it to change its form at will to better avoid danger. Therefore, she doesn't know what form a wood spirit takes. "
He thought Count Black would only ask about Noah's ancestor. He didn't expect the man to ask about the wood spirits as well. It seemed that Count Black was also interested in this exploration. Or did he already know that the destination had something to do with Noah's ancestor? That was why he was so enthusiastic.
"Sisya gave me the same answer as you, sir. But I asked Sisya in detail about the wood spirit's form on the platform, and what was the most common and inconspicuous one?"
The wood spirit was born in the area where the Witch's Eyes gathered. If it changed its form at that time, the wandering Witch's Eyes might notice it.
Therefore, the wood spirit's original form must be ordinary and inconspicuous. Besides, it wouldn't attract too much attention even if it was randomly thrown on the ground.
No matter how the wood spirit tried to hide, it must have used its original form as a blueprint to change its form.
Angor finally got an answer from Sisya. "The most common and inconspicuous form it ever took was a black stick. That's when it stayed on the platform and pretended to be dead. "
First of all, it was not easy to notice that the stick was made of wood. Moreover, because of the dark aura that often surged out from underground, many of the surfaces of the work area had been soaked in dark filth, becoming incomparably dark. Some of the buildings had also been dyed black.
Therefore, the black stick didn't attract too much attention.
Besides, Sisya clearly said that the wood spirit transformed into a stick when it pretended to be dead on the platform. At that time, the wood spirit should have noticed that Sisya wouldn't hurt it, so the platform was safe.
Therefore, when it was most relaxed, the wood spirit changed back to its original form. This made sense.
Therefore, Angor decided to use the stick as the wood spirit's original form.
With the appearance of a wood spirit and a series of silver ornaments on top of it, the current short staff was formed.
The black body of the stick didn't look like much on its own. But when paired with the beautiful crown, it became much more eye-catching.
Of course, this didn't mean that Angor was better than Dark Earl. Compared to Dark Earl, Angor was closer to Sisya, which allowed him to get more information from her. Dark Earl was Noah's descendant, but he wasn't Noah himself. It was already good enough that Sisya could talk to him for a while. There was no way she could describe the wood spirit's appearance word by word.
"According to what you said, the Wood Spirit was born from a staff?" Dorcas asked.
Angor nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely. When mortals or nobles use a stick for no special purpose other than to show off their status, most of them are made of wood. Wood is lighter, so it's easier to hold. "
"So, it's possible that the wood spirit was born from a wooden stick."
Kael continued, "I heard that it's not easy for a spirit to be born. According to legends, it's the consciousness of a world that accidentally left its consciousness in the world. If it's really that difficult, I still find it strange that an ordinary stick gave birth to a wood spirit. "
As soon as Kael finished, Dark Earl spoke up, "It's true that it's not easy for a spirit to be born. However, if an item is exposed to a suitable energy environment all year round, or if it carries a strong will, the chances of a spirit being born will be higher. "
"As for the wooden stick, it fits the first condition. Although this place was deserted, under the protection of the magic array, the energy environment was much better than the outside world. In addition, the dark and turbid energy was constantly emitting from the ground. This energy had always been densely surrounding the wooden staff, and the possibility of stimulating it to give birth to intelligence was once again increased. But … "
Wa Yi: "Just what?"
"If we're going to follow this logic, there's one thing I don't understand. A spirit born from dark energy should have a lot of bad habits. But that wood spirit seems to be a coward, but it doesn't have any other evil intentions? "
This was because if the wood spirit truly had evil intentions, it wouldn't have been so naive. It wouldn't have pretended to be dead for decades, and it definitely wouldn't have desperately rejected the olive branch extended by the Wise Ruler. It only wanted to quietly stay in the Stairs of Hanging Prison and live out the rest of its life in secret.
This was what Dark Earl found strange. The wood spirit was a little too naive.
"Cowardice, cowardice, and loneliness aren't necessarily bad habits. But they're only for themselves, not others, so they can't be considered evil. "
Dark Earl considered. "That's possible."
With that, Dark Earl did not say anything else. He only needed to stop here.
When Dark Earl stopped speaking, Dorcas quickly continued.
"We can basically confirm that the wooden stick is the original form of the wood spirit. But there are still some unanswered questions." Dorcas said, "First, if these rings, ornaments, and crowns all belonged to the wood spirit, why were they scattered all over the place?"
"Second, if these ornaments didn't belong to the wood spirit, why did the wood spirit like them so much that it didn't even want to give them to Sisya in exchange for entrance tickets?
"As for the third …" Dorcas looked at Angor. "If this silver stick belongs to the wood spirit, then the emblem on it is very likely that it came from the Igulo Family. Based on the timeline, could it be that it came from your teacher, Phantom Master? "
The three questions raised by Dorcas attracted everyone's attention, especially the third one.
If that was the case, then why did Angor say Sunders left a "dagger" behind? What was that all about?
Angor considered for a moment. "I can't answer the first question. But judging from the ornaments, they're quite eye-catching. Personally, I think the wood spirit is a coward. It would never leave such obvious things behind. Maybe it just threw them away when the Witch's Eye noticed it.
"Of course, it's more likely that the Witch's Eye already took most of these ornaments before the wood spirit was born. In other words, when the wood spirit was still an ordinary stick, the Witch's Eye already took most of them. Because these ornaments, to a certain special Witch Eye Ghost, are rather beautiful. It collected the beautiful ornaments, and then casually threw away the dark and swarthy staff of the wood spirit's true form. This is very likely to happen. "
"As for the ownership of the small and large rings … This can also be inferred from that special Witch's Eye Ghost. It took off the crown and thought that it looked good, but the small rings inside were an eyesore, so it casually threw them away. In the end, it was picked up by another Witch's Eye Ghost. In the end, the spirit got lucky.
"As for the big ring, it doesn't look very nice at first glance. That special Witch's Eye ghost took the ornaments on it and left. It's possible that she left the big ring alone on the wood spirit's body."
"But these are all guesses. I can't give you a definite answer."
Angor's answer to the first question was based on speculation, but it was self-consistent. After hearing Angor's answer, everyone thought that it was possible.
Since Dorcas didn't ask further, it was clear that he agreed with Angor's explanation.
"The second question is actually an extension of the first question. If the special Witch's Eye only cares about the beauty of the ornaments, then it's reasonable for her to take off the crown and keep it as a collection and carry the oval ornament on her body. As for the large ring, it's not easy to take away because it's ugly. So she just left it on the wood spirit.
"If the wood spirit was born after the staff was taken away, it would naturally think that the ring belonged to it and would love it so much that it couldn't put it down.
"If the wood spirit was born early, with its timid personality, it wouldn't fight back and could only let the staff be taken away. In the end, it left behind a lonely ring, which naturally became its most cherished treasure. "
Angor didn't need to explain too much about the second question. Everyone understood it, so he simply skipped over it.
He also knew that the others didn't care about these two questions. They were more interested in Dorcas' third question.
"As for the third question …" Angor rubbed his forehead and showed a bitter expression. "I don't know either.
"According to what my teacher told me, he did leave a dagger here. I also used an illusion to see what the dagger looked like. The handle of the dagger looked similar to the oval ornament. It had the emblem of the Igulo Family on it. That's why I thought the ornament on the Witch's Eye was made from the handle of a dagger.
"As for the short staff of the Igulo Family, my professor never mentioned it."
In order to prove that he was telling the truth, he even asked Dark Count to use Word of Truth to check if he was telling the truth.
Just as Angor said, Word of Truth did not tell him about the short staff either.
"If Phantom Master didn't tell you about the short staff, could it be left here by another member of the Igulo Family?" Dorcas asked.
"I don't know," Angor replied.
But Angor didn't think that was possible. The Igulo Family wasn't a wizard family. They were just a mortal noble family. Sunders might have become a powerful truth-finder wizard, but he neither married nor had any children. He didn't even care about the family's development. It would be difficult for the Igulo Family to give birth to another supernatural.
It was almost impossible for someone who wasn't a supernatural to come to this area.
That was why Angor was still wondering about it. He believed that the short staff belonged to Sunders, but Sunders never mentioned that he left his staff behind.
More importantly, the "young Sunders" Angor met in the Nightmare Realm was also holding a dagger, not a staff.
So where did the staff come from?
Could it be that he was wrong? The wood spirit's body wasn't made of wood? Or maybe the staff had nothing to do with the wood spirit?
"That's what I meant. Because I don't know what the answer is, or what the truth is."
We have to find the wood spirit, or find a way to ask the Wise Overseer to tell us. "
Angor then brought up the matter he mentioned in the beginning.
"Oh, right. I don't know if this ring belongs to the wood spirit or not. But Sisya took it from the spirit. Are you sure none of you know how to use a tracking spell?"
He stared at Count Black with a pair of unblinking eyes. He was only referring to Count Dark when he said "all of you".
The others who knew similar prophecy spells already told him so. The Dark Earl had personally performed the Prophecy, so it was most likely the Dark Earl.
This time, the Black Earl wasn't as silent as before. Instead, he calmly replied, "It's still too early to talk about this now. It won't be too late to talk about it after we reach the Stairs of Hanging Prison."
"Since Sisya said that the wood spirit treasures the ring so much, maybe we don't even need to look for it. The silver ring will come to us on its own."
"What if nothing works?" Angor asked.
The Black Earl said, "If all other methods are useless, then we'll talk about the search."
Black Earl didn't give a direct promise, but he implied that he would use a tracking spell if it didn't work.
These words were actually enough for him.
"Then let's hope it's true, Mister Black Earl. The wood spirit will show up when it sees the ring …"
