"Why are they going to explore the void?"
When Dorcas returned from "corpse running", he saw Angor and Kael wandering into the void. His "angry" act was useless now. Dorcas had no choice but to calm himself down and ask the others about Angor's reason for doing so.
Wai shook his head. "I don't know. Sir only said that he's going to do an experiment."
Wai didn't hide anything and told Dorcas what happened.
After Dorcas heard this, not only did the doubts in his heart not clear up, he became even more confused.
Exploring the void was a very strange thing in itself. The Stairs of Hanging Prison was also located in an alternate dimension, which was separated from the real world. There were many traces left behind by humans, so there wasn't much value in exploring it.
Besides, if Angor really wanted to explore the void, why did he choose to do it here? There were a lot of space rifts here, which meant the space here wasn't stable. Why would Angor put himself in danger if he knew how dangerous it was?
"The only explanation is that he might have found some clues that forced him to take this path." Dorcas voiced his conjecture.
After saying this, his gaze subconsciously drifted towards the Sovereign of Wisdom. His words were meant for the Wise Man's ears. Only the Wise Man knew what was going on in the void.
At first, Dorcas' gaze had been rather reserved, merely 'hinting'. However, when he saw that the Wise Ruler was completely ignoring him, he became bolder, and his' hinting 'turned into an' explicit 'statement. He was just short of standing in front of the Wise Ruler and pointing at his nose.
The Wise Man was getting annoyed by Dorcas' "obvious" stare. "I don't know what else is there apart from the space rifts that keep appearing and disappearing."
"So there's nothing there? Only danger? "Dorcas rubbed his chin." That's strange. "
Dorcas wasn't the only one who was puzzled. Even the Wise Man didn't understand why Angor suddenly wanted to explore the void. It was a place where space rifts often appeared. There shouldn't be anything valuable there.
Just as everyone was filled with questions, Karel, who was sitting not far away, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Why are you awake? Where's Kim?" Dorcas walked up to Kael and asked.
It took a few seconds for Kael to regain his senses. However, he did not look at Dorcas. Instead, he looked at Angor.
Kael's expression was filled with worry, fear, and anxiety.
"What are you thinking about?" When Dorcas spoke again, Kal turned to look at him. Dorcas quickly asked, "Where's Kim?"
Kael shook his head. "We fell into a dangerous zone filled with new spatial rifts. After my lord escorted me out, he didn't leave with me. Instead, he entered the dangerous zone alone."
"So persistent? Could it be that there's something in the danger zone that attracted him? "At this moment, the Dark Earl who had been silent all this while asked.
"I don't know either. Master didn't tell me anything. He only told me to bring him as far away from the spatial rifts as possible."
Black Earl said, "He wouldn't enter the danger zone for no reason. There must be some external force pushing him forward."
However, Black Earl had no idea what that "external force" was. If it was someone else, most external forces could be considered as "benefits". But for Angor, pure benefits were not enough to attract him.
But if there really was something in the danger zone that attracted him, then did the Wise Overseer lie?
As Black Earl pondered, Kael suddenly spoke in a loud voice, "He's back! Mister is back!"
Count Dark looked at Angor and saw him already open his eyes. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with exhaustion.
Black Earl: "Your spiritual power … is damaged?"
Angor nodded. "Bad luck. We ran into some danger. I had no choice but to give up a spirit feeler."
Both Kael and Vael were looking at him with worried expressions.
Kael's worry probably stemmed from guilt, while Vael's concern was something Angor couldn't understand. But there was no doubt that both of them were sincere.
Angor quickly added, "Don't worry. I'll be fine soon."
And by "soon", he meant it. In less than two minutes, color returned to his face.
His complexion recovered, which meant that Angor was no longer affected by the dizziness caused by losing spirit power.
However, he couldn't get his lost spirit back. In other words, Angor's overall condition was better, but his strength was still weakened.
However, the loss of spirit was nothing to him. Even if he meditated for two or three hours every day, it would only take him a week to fully recover.
When Angor said that he didn't need to worry about him, he meant it.
"Why did you explore the void?" Dorcas quickly approached Angor and asked.
"To try something." Angor's answer was as perfunctory as before.
"What kind of experiment?" Dorcas didn't want to give up.
Angor didn't answer right away. Instead, he signaled to Kael that they were free to go. Then, he turned around and said to Dorcas, "I'm going to explore the void here."
"Why do you want to explore the Void? Also, if you want to explore the Void, wouldn't it be better to go somewhere else?"
Angor didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. It seemed he was already prepared for this. "The more space rifts there are, the lower the barrier of the magic array, and the more information I can get. So I chose a dangerous area. Maybe I can find some clues there. "
Angor's intention was clear. He was going to analyze the underlying rules of the magic array.
Most people accepted the reason. They all witnessed Angor's great control over the magic array on their way here. Therefore, it was possible for Angor to discover the underlying rules of the magic array and gain control of it.
Also, Angor's actions were reasonable.
However, the Wise Overseer couldn't accept it. It wasn't that he didn't trust Angor's knowledge. He just didn't understand why Angor wanted to analyze the magic array of the Stairs of Hanging Prison.
The Wise Overseer didn't believe it. Even if Angor had the complete blueprint of the Stairs of Hanging Prison, he still could not turn the situation around because the magic array here was connected to the outside world. Unless Angor could control the entire underground tunnel magic array, he would not have the confidence to turn the situation around.
Besides, Angor's goal was to find a wood spirit. Wood spirits were not related to magic arrays. Even if Angor could control the magic array of the Stairs of Hanging Prison, he still wouldn't be able to find a hidden wood spirit.
For example, the Wise Overseer could barely control the magic array of the Stairs of Hanging Prison. But even so, he had to start from the beginning every time he entered the Stairs of Hanging Prison.
Therefore, the Wise Overseer didn't think Angor was telling the truth.
But if he wasn't, why would he go there?
As Dorcas said, there was only danger at the end of the stairs, but no chance.
Under such circumstances, Angor had no reason to go to the dangerous area unless he wanted to die.
The Wise Overseer really wanted to ask this question, but he didn't want to make a fuss about it. Maybe Angor was trying to confuse the Wise Overseer in the first place?
With that in mind, the Wise Overseer held back his thoughts and focused on observation.
In the Wise Overseer's opinion, an answer obtained from observing someone's behavior and thinking style was usually more credible than an answer obtained from someone else's mouth.
Angor was surprised by the Wise Overseer's silence. He was prepared to tell the truth since it wasn't a big secret.
At most, he would be laughed at for being tricked. Also, he could ask the Sage about what was resonating with the scepter in front of everyone.
After all, he didn't get to the end. Without Kael's help, Angor had to rely on luck to move around the dangerous area. Luck didn't always favor Angor. In the end, he was still crushed by a newly formed space fissure and stopped at the end.
What surprised Angor even more was that the Wise Overseer didn't ask about it, and the others also believed his lie. Angor wondered if the Wise Overseer's lying skills had improved. How did he fool everyone with a random lie?
Since no one questioned his words, Angor decided not to explain himself.
He didn't mind being laughed at, but he still wanted to save his dignity if he could.
…
They returned to the fork again. They chose to go left earlier, but this time, they had to go right.
"If the spirit is really on the right, you're pretty good at pointing the way," said Dorcas as he stood in the middle of the fork where Angor threw out the cane. The cane pointed to the right, but Angor chose to go left instead.
"Speaking of which, why did you go left? The cane pointed to the right. "
Angor looked back to make sure the cane was no longer resonating. "Because I don't believe in fate."
"???" Dorcas was puzzled.
"That's why I went left first." Angor shrugged.
It took Dorcas a while to realize that Angor was saying that "fate" guided the cane. But he didn't believe in fate, so he chose to go against it.
Dorcas understood, but he couldn't figure it out. It didn't make any sense at all. Angor sounded like a naughty child who was arguing with his parents.
"Are you just brushing me off?" Although it was a question, Dorcas' tone was firm.
"Take a guess." Angor didn't admit or deny it. He simply walked past Dorcas and went deeper into the forest.
Angor's "bad behavior" successfully reminded Dorcas of the anger he felt when Angor controlled him. Dorcas turned into a roaring sandworm and began to nag at Angor's ears, criticizing and criticizing him.
However, Dorcas only rambled on for a minute before he realized that he couldn't speak anymore.
To be precise, it wasn't that he couldn't speak. It was as if his voice was blocked by a thin membrane.
However, Vai, the Black Count, and the Sovereign of the Wise were able to hear it clearly.
Also, Dorcas' voice no longer sounded high or low because of the distance between them. Instead, it was loud and clear. It was as if Dorcas was right beside their ears.
No, it wasn't as if. Dorcas was speaking right beside their ears.
In the illusion, Dorcas was far away from them. But in reality, Dorcas was right beside them.
In other words —
"He took away your Sound Illusion Node. When you speak now, you are speaking directly in reality and not in an illusion." Black Earl warned Dorcas through their Spirit Bond, "You better shut up. I don't want to hear you yapping in my ears. Or do you want to experience being silenced in real life as well? "
Dorcas didn't like Black Earl's threat, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Since he couldn't speak, Dorcas continued to use the Spirit Bond to bombard Angor. However, both Black Earl and Angor blocked the Spirit Bond. Even the Wise Lord, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, left the Spirit Bond because it was too noisy.
Now, the only people Dorcas could complain to were Vaal and Kael.
However, even though Dorcas was a troublemaker, he still knew his limits. He could do whatever he wanted with Angor and the others, but he had to be careful when talking to apprentices.
After all, the Wise Lord was right beside them. He didn't want Vaal and Kael to reveal more information because of him.
Still, Dorcas didn't want to give up so easily. Since he couldn't speak, he simply ran to Angor's side and stared at him with narrowed eyes.
At first, Angor felt a little awkward. But soon, he did not think too much about it. It was just an illusion, and Dorcas couldn't do anything to him. He would just treat Dorcas as a mobile accessory.
With this thought in mind, Angor ignored Dorcas and began to think about something else.
The staff's resonance was on the left side at first. Now, Angor was sure that the left side was a dangerous area filled with space rifts.
If this was the work of the wood spirit, then didn't that mean that the wood spirit had planned to lure him into a trap? If possible, it would be best if he died in that spatial crack?
If that was the case, then why did the Wood Spirit change its mind and move the resonance to the right?
