"Didn't we already talk about it?"
"Are you sure you don't want to change it? Actually, the deal I proposed to you is more suitable for Dorcas. Are you sure you want this one? "
Dorcas looked at the count and Angor in confusion. He had no idea what they were talking about. Did they talk about it? When did they talk about it? What deal is more suitable for me?
Dorcas wanted to ask, but he was dismissed by the Dark Earl's words, "You chose to leave."
It meant that since you've chosen to leave the discussion, you shouldn't interrupt us now.
Leaving the negotiations required stability, but if Dorcas continued to listen and realized that it was better to negotiate now than to leave the negotiations, then he would suddenly change his choice, and the choice he had made earlier would be meaningless.
Dorcas did not know what to say. He could only try to listen to the conversation while trying to figure out the hidden information in it himself.
"It doesn't matter who it's suitable for. It's about broadening my horizons."
Black Earl gave Angor a thoughtful look. "So you agree with Spivet's theory that broadening one's horizons is more important than learning by yourself?"
The "Spivet" Black Earl suddenly mentioned was not the "Spivet" whose soul entered a young man's body, fell from wizard to apprentice, and became Flora's disciple. It was the "Great Deceitful Wizard" Spivet from five thousand years ago.
Angor said, "Don't think of my words as a conflict between factions and theories. I don't want to see those magazines treating me as a supporter of my own faction."
Rhine had said before that he had to be careful when facing the Black Earl. He might not dare to do anything to you, but he would try to trick you in small details. Sometimes, you would fall into his trap uncontrollably. Black Earl owned a wizard magazine that sold well. Almost all wizard families on Fey Continent subscribed to it.
Many tabloid magazines would also stare at these family magazines, and then add oil to the fire to spread rumors and slanders.
Therefore, Black Earl had control over public opinion. Angor should avoid showing his opinions and talk to him more.
"My thoughts are very simple. It is undeniable that the scope of my knowledge is too small. If I want to fully establish myself as a wizard, I need to learn more knowledge. Only by knowing more can I find the most suitable knowledge for myself. "
Angor paused. "The above theory came from a wizard who created a new spell not long ago. I don't believe her conclusion, because that's what she did. "
Angor was serious at first, but later, he changed the topic to a wizard who "created a new spell". This was also a way to change the topic. Everyone knew that Angor did not want to fall into Black Earl's trap. However, they still tried to connect the dots.
Who was a wizard who created a new spell not long ago? Angor used a female pronoun. So it was a female wizard?
"You're talking about Greya?" Count Dark asked Angor through the private channel.
"Yes."
"As far as I know, Greya's breakthrough happened at Phantom Island. You're the one behind it, aren't you?"
"I didn't expect Mister Rein to plant a spy in Brute Cavern. Mister Rein is so close to him."
This was not something an outsider should know. Also, Rein had ordered the information to be kept secret. Only spies were allowed to leak it out.
"How can you call it a spy? She's just an intelligence agent." At this point, the Dark Earl said in an aggrieved tone, "I only developed an apprentice-level intelligence agent, but that old man Rhine directly developed one of my third generation descendants into a spy. In comparison, I'm much milder."
Angor was speechless. Rein was really something.
Of course, what was even more amazing was that the Black Earl knew that his descendant had been developed into a spy. But he could not simply kill his descendant. Angor had to think of a way to turn his descendant into a double agent.
But then again, why did they talk about espionage?
Angor shook his head and quickly changed the topic. "I'm talking about Greya. I was there when she created the spell, so I'll admit it if you insist that I have something to do with it. But how big is the effect? Very small. "
"At that time, His Excellency Rhine was also beside her. According to His Excellency Rhine, the bottleneck in her creation was purely because she was stuck in the Gourmet School. When she discovered a bigger world and saw a more exciting world, she was able to reach back to her roots and develop her Gourmet School to new heights."
Angor continued, "That's why I'm not limited by the breadth of my knowledge. I won't deny that Mister Rein thinks Dorcas' talent is more suitable for Bloodline Wizards. But I don't have to learn it. I just want to know how it works and learn other things by analogy. "
"Maybe the next time I create a new spell, it'll have something to do with Mister Black Earl's cloning knowledge?"
Black Earl was not offended by Angor's casual remark. Instead, he was quite happy about it. Black Earl was not a generous man. He would not keep his knowledge to himself, but he would not simply reveal the secrets of his spells either. However, if a genius like Angor came to ask for advice, he would not mind sharing his core knowledge.
As Angor said, "if he was going to create a new spell, it would have something to do with his own cloning technique". This was a great honor for Dark Earl. More importantly, this kind of creation with a certain origin could also allow the Black Earl to broaden his horizons.
This was a kind of communication between geniuses. Black Earl would not hide this kind of communication. Instead, he hoped that Angor could really use the knowledge from his own perspective to create a new spell.
Angor did not know that there was such an "unspoken rule" in the wizarding world. He only mentioned it casually and did not expect to touch Black Earl's heart.
"If so, I look forward to seeing what kind of spell you'll create."
Count Dark's words sealed the deal between him and Angor.
Angor didn't think too much about it. Count Dark already hinted that he would use the knowledge of cloning to communicate with Angor. The knowledge might not be useful to Angor, but he didn't care about it since it was just a bonus.
After all, he was just as eager to go to Augustine's Ruin as Black Earl was. Angor did not need to give him anything extra. If there was something extra, he would go all the more.
Speaking of which, he did mention Greya just now.
Angor lied a little bit. When Greya was creating a new spell, he did not affect her too much, but he was not insignificant either.
According to the original plan, Greya would have to wait until she found a new body and rested for at least a decade before she could proceed with her second spell. However, Angor accidentally sped up the process.
It was the most mysterious ability he learned from the puppy: Mystery Manifestation.
This was the source of Greya's sudden creation.
Angor rarely used Mystery Manifestation because he was still an apprentice back then. Sunders advised him not to use it as much as possible. It was like a baby carrying a treasure in a busy market, which would only attract unwanted attention.
Unless Angor became a wizard or a truth-finder wizard, he would be able to use it in a small area. Also, it was better to use it on himself.
He was only one step away from becoming a truth-finder wizard. With the help of Elmi and Toby, he was definitely stronger than a normal truth-finder wizard.
Since that was the case, he seemed to be able to use the manifestation of the mystery.
Perhaps it could be combined with spells, or even used in alchemy?
Thinking about the manifestation of Mystery, he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to put it into practice. He even forgot where he was.
Angor's horse was already on the verge of running away. It was only when Dorcas' voice reached his ears that he managed to pull the reins back.
"What did you exchange with the Black Earl? Tell me about it. Let me know. " Dorcas listened for a long time but still could not understand what Angor and the count were talking about. Later on, they even "encrypted" their conversation, which made Dorcas very curious. After trying to hold back for a while, he finally ran to Angor and asked about it.
Angor glanced at Black Earl, who did not say anything. It seemed Black Earl did not mind Angor telling him about their exchange.
As a matter of fact, Black Earl did not mind at all. He was right when he mentioned that his cloning spell was more suitable for Dorcas. After all, Dorcas was a Bloodline user who could easily accept the separation of his body. However, Black Earl's cloning spell was different from ordinary cloning spells. Not only did the clones have separate bodies, but each of them also had their own consciousness, which was very scary. If Black Earl did not control his clones well, the clones might go crazy.
Of course, Black Earl could use all kinds of methods to restrict his clones' consciousness. However, the more he restricted his clones, the more useless they would be.
That would be the same as other cloning spells.
Therefore, Black Earl did not restrict his clones and allowed them to develop freely. Without restrictions, each of Black Earl's clones would have his own knowledge.
As for how Black Earl kept his clones as the "main body", he had his own methods. This was one of the reasons why Black Earl's cloning spell was considered an original creation.
In other words, even if Dorcas really wanted to learn Black Earl's cloning spell, Black Earl would not be able to solve the problem of the separation of his consciousness.
Angor, on the other hand, was different. He was not going to blindly follow Black Earl. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to surpass Black Earl. Angor's plan was to dabble in different fields of knowledge and absorb the essence of different knowledge. When he created a new spell, it might not have anything to do with his clones.
Even so, as long as Angor learned something from Black Earl's cloning spell, Black Earl would be able to see the light in Angor's creation.
This was how geniuses worked together.
Perhaps Dorcas could also be called a genius, but the Dark Earl did not believe that his cloning technique would be able to play any tricks in Dorcas' hands.
Therefore, he did not mind Angor telling Dorcas about his plan.
If Dorcas really wanted to teach Black Earl about cloning spells, it would save him a lot of time. He could simply arrange for Dorcas and Angor to "learn" together. Teaching two clones at once was definitely a good deal for him.
However, not minding Black Earl's decision did not mean he agreed.
He also wanted to see how Angor would deal with this situation.
"Exchange of knowledge," Angor said to Dorcas. "As for what kind of knowledge, you can ask Mister Black Earl yourself after we leave. Also, don't think it's suitable for you just because Black Earl said it's more suitable for you. Maybe you already know something similar, so don't get your hopes up.
"If you want to exchange knowledge as well, I suggest you prioritize the knowledge you lack instead of following my lead."
Dorcas thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Black Earl also agreed with Angor's suggestion.
He did not mind Angor telling Dorcas about his plan. However, Dorcas already chose to leave. If Angor told Dorcas about his plan now, it would be breaking Black Earl's rules.
Breaking the rules was something the Black Earl could tolerate, but he would definitely remember it in his heart. Their evaluation of Angor would probably go down a little. As for why it was not a big drop? After all, Angor already showed his skills.
No matter how low Angor's EQ was, as long as Angor's alchemy skills were not directly hostile to the Noah Clan, Black Earl would still choose to maintain a good relationship with Angor.
Still, it was up to Angor whether Black Earl would treat Black Earl well or not.
At least this time, Angor's response was decent. He did not break the rules, and he also gave Dorcas some advice. Sincerity and sincerity existed side by side.
The Dark Earl preferred to make friends with the Academy Sorcerers. This was especially true for the academies' adepts who were skilled.
Now that they had finished their discussion, Angor finally looked up and prepared to tell the Lord of Wisdom about their decision.
However, when he looked up, he saw the Lord of Wisdom staring at … behind him.
Angor looked back and was surprised at what he saw. Then he frowned.
The wood spirit was still hiding behind him. However, the spirit did not dare to hide in Angor's shadow because Elmi was there.
But now, the wood spirit ran into Angor's shadow and played with Elmi.
To be precise, the wood spirit was not playing with "Elmi", but with the blue lantern flower that grew out of Angor's shadow.
The blue lantern flower was under Elmi's control. It swayed and released a lot of bubbles.
The wood spirit seemed to like these bubbles and would pop them from time to time. At first, it was still poking at the outer bubbles. But slowly, the bubbles disappeared. After hesitating for a few seconds, the wood spirit stepped into Angor's shadow and nestled beside the blue lantern flower. When it saw a bubble being spat out, it would immediately poke it with its branch.
It was a harmonious scene.
But Angor was not sure what was going on.
It was normal for the wood spirit to be close to the blue lantern flower. Although Elmi created the blue lantern flower, it was still a plant.
As a plant, the wood spirit would naturally be close to the blue lantern flower.
Besides, the wood spirit never saw any plants in the underground sewer. This was the first time it saw a "companion", so it felt closer to it.
This was understandable.
Angor frowned. He did not understand why Elmi would do something like this.
Elmi always did things for a reason. Usually, Elmi would carry out Angor's orders first. If Angor did not give the order, Elmi would prioritize Angor's safety.
Under the control of the distorted seed, Elmi would do whatever Angor told it to and would not do anything unnecessary.
But now, what was Elmi doing?
Letting its blue lantern flower grow and spew bubbles to amuse the wood spirit?
It did not seem to be a big deal. But when Angor thought about it carefully, he realized that Elmi was slowly gaining sentience.
Angor frowned.
He already had this feeling before, and this time, it was even more obvious.
He did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
