"That's great." Angor nodded. "That's good."
He already told Iron Granny everything he needed to know. Iron Granny already knew what he was up to. She would understand even if Angor didn't tell her anything later.
Besides, there were other people who could reveal the information even after the contract was signed.
Sisia, for example. She didn't sign any contract.
Dodoro also knew about Angor's trip and could use it to make a prophecy. Besides, Sisia could also serve as a medium for Dodoro's prophecy.
Therefore, the third condition was the least important for Angor, even though it sounded harsh.
While Angor sighed in relief, the Ruler of Wisdom was still puzzled. He didn't understand why Angor was so concerned about this. It was completely different from what he expected.
Shouldn't he ask about the third condition? Shouldn't he ask why the reward column is blank? Why did he ask such a strange question?
Did he already leak the information? As soon as this suspicion was born, the Sovereign of Wisdom immediately denied it. He didn't know what Angor was going to face next. What was the situation inside the abandoned land? What was the truth behind the Goddess? What were the secrets hidden in the abandoned land? Everything that needed to be kept confidential by the contract had not happened yet. Of course, he would not reveal it in advance.
But if that wasn't the case, why was Angor so concerned about the effective time of the contract?
The Ruler of Wisdom was puzzled. He glanced at Dorcas who was rubbing his chin and looking at Angor with a puzzled look. But soon, he realized something.
The smile hidden within Dorcas' eyes caused the Sovereign of Wisdom to 'come to a sudden realization'.
Dorcas kept saying that Angor was naughty and mischievous. Back then, the Ruler of Wisdom didn't care much about Angor's personality. Now that Angor was going to become the temporary guardian of the wood spirits, the Ruler of Wisdom would consider Angor's personality.
Dorcas was Angor's friend, so he must know Angor well. Also, Dorcas sounded so confident when he said that Angor was naughty and mischievous as if he had experienced it himself. That meant Dorcas wasn't lying.
Besides, the Ruler of Wisdom also believed that "naughty and mischievous" was a good word for Angor's age. After all, young people were usually naughty and mischievous.
Could it be that Angor's act was just a mischievous act?
He purposely avoided the topic to express his dissatisfaction.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed such a possibility. He already witnessed Angor's intelligence and dexterity. Angor must also know that Sunders was trying to force him to protect the wood spirits through emotional bonds.
At the same time, Angor must have noticed the extra clause in the contract.
Angor felt that he had the right to "resist" him, so he used this as an excuse to express his dissatisfaction?
He couldn't think of any other reason why Angor would pay so little attention to such a trivial matter.
If this conjecture was correct, the Sovereign of Wisdom thought for a moment about how he should respond. Forget it, he decided not to respond.
Angor did not express his "dissatisfaction" in a proper way. He did not choose to be confrontational.
Just like how the Wise Overseer tried to make a tactful request in the contract, Angor did the same.
And any protest was accompanied by a request. Angor's protest didn't seem to mention anything, but the Sage guessed that Angor wanted the Sage to take a step back. Or to increase the reward?
These "requests" weren't excessive. The Sovereign of Wisdom considered and decided that as long as Angor was willing to sign the contract, it wouldn't hurt to cooperate. After all, the wood spirits still needed Angor's help. He could consider it as an early investment for the wood spirits.
With this in mind, the Sovereign of Wisdom didn't show any signs of impatience. Instead, he asked in a gentle tone, "Do you have any other questions? For example, the third one. Why is the punishment so severe, but the reward is empty? "
The Sovereign of Wisdom chose to take the initiative to ask, which meant that he accepted Angor's request. He was "sensible" enough to give Angor a way out.
On the other hand, Angor didn't expect the Wise Overseer to come up with such an idea. The Wise Overseer assumed that giving Angor a way out was a sign that the Wise Overseer was taking a step back.
From Angor's point of view, even if the Wise Overseer didn't ask, he would keep asking. Since the Wise Overseer brought it up, it would save Angor a lot of time.
Apart from that, Angor didn't feel anything else.
The Wise Overseer was just trying to convince himself.
Fortunately, no one could see through the Wise Overseer's thoughts. The Wise Overseer himself didn't notice anything wrong with his actions, so everything remained peaceful.
Angor followed the Wise Overseer's words. "You're right. Those are the two questions I want to ask later."
The Wise Lord nodded in his mind. Angor knew when to stop. That was a "wise" move.
The Wise Sovereign: "Third, your doubts should be related to confidentiality, right?"
Angor nodded and pretended that he didn't hear the Wise Overseer's words.
"As for the scope of confidentiality …" The Sovereign of Wisdom was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly paused.
Several seconds later, Angor saw that the Wise Overseer didn't say anything, so he looked up. The Wise Overseer had taken out another pair of strange glasses. The lenses on his forehead kept flickering, so Angor couldn't see his eyes clearly. His left and right eyes were empty and lifeless, looking dull and lifeless.
While Angor was puzzled, Black Earl's voice came from their Spirit Bond.
"Huh? The entrances … disappeared."
Angor didn't know what Black Earl meant at first. It took him a while to realize that the "entrances" were the dog holes they saw on their way here.
Those were the "dog holes" that seemed to contain life.
The Black Earl had left an olfactory locator near these dog holes. At first, it was used to observe the dog holes. Later, it was used to determine the whereabouts of the traveling merchants.
"Which ones disappeared?" Angor asked. Did the disappearance of the dog holes have anything to do with the Wise Overseer's sudden daze?
"All the entrances I left behind are gone," Black Earl replied.
"What does the disappearance of the cave mean?" Dorcas was confused.
There was a moment of silence in the Spirit Bond. No one could answer this question. They didn't even know the truth about those holes.
While they were looking at each other, they heard someone clearing their throat. They looked at the source of the sound and saw the Wise Overseer had already returned to normal.
"I suddenly thought of something. Sorry for the delay. Let's continue our previous topic."
The Wise Overseer didn't explain anything. The contract on the Book of Truth was still flashing, so they couldn't ask questions right now.
However, the Wise Ruler had already agreed to continue the previous topic, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly hesitated for two seconds and changed the topic. "In a while, you might have to go through some tests …"
"Tests again?" Angor frowned. "Bonus points again?"
The Wise Overseer shook his head. "No. You'll have to face them once you reach the abandoned site. She's already done it. "
"She?" Angor quickly asked, "She? The Mirror Demon? "
Again, the Wise Overseer didn't give an answer. "I'll tell you later. Now is not the right time. "
This time, Dorcas spoke up before Angor could say anything. "The Overseer already said that she's already done it. Why won't you tell us who she is?"
The Wise Overseer glanced at Dorcas. "You won't be able to face her directly until you reach the abandoned site. She's only doing it now because of some tricks she left outside, just like the painting you saw earlier. "
The Wise Overseer paused for a moment. "If she's going to attack us directly, I can help you stop her. However, I can't do anything to her tricks, or her pawns. You'll have to deal with them yourselves. "
Dorcas asked, "Why? Could it be that this is the so-called test? "
"A test is just how I put it. If you want, you can go through obstacles, obstacles, or obstacles. If you don't give up, you'll have to go through all of them. "
"As for why I can't do it … I have my reasons." The Wise Overseer gave them a meaningful look. "Besides, you can leave when you're done, but I'll have to stay and face her. Unless … you have a way to make her disappear. "
"Make her disappear? You want us to kill her, Wise Overseer? Kill a Demon God? "Dorcas looked at the Wise Overseer in disbelief." Impossible! Do you think it's still ten thousand years ago? No one in the southern region can kill a Demon God. "
Dorcas didn't notice that Angor's expression changed for a second when he said those words.
"You should know by now whether she's a Demon God or not. No need to test me. Is she really a Demon God just because she's a Demon God in name? "
"Also, I didn't ask you to kill her. You can't kill her, "the Wise Overseer said." Besides, I don't want her to die. "
The Wise Overseer's words made them even more confused.
His words were full of contradictions. He seemed to be opposing "her", but he didn't want her to die. But in other words, she wanted them to make her "disappear".
What was the Wise Overseer's stance, and what did he want to do?
Dorcas directly asked the question in his heart. The Wise Overseer's answer was still vague. "Those who remain here have their own obsessions, and so does she."
The Wise Overseer didn't avoid mentioning obsessions. He had his own obsessions, and so did she. However, he didn't say what her obsessions were. But judging from his contradictory attitude, their obsessions should be different.
Sisya said that the Wise Overseer's obsessions were to see Nether City return to its former glory with his own eyes.
This was also what most of the Slumbers in the underground sewers thought.
If "her" obsession was different from the Wise Ruler's, if it wasn't to restore Nether City to its former glory, what would it be?
The Wise Overseer spoke again. "Once you sign the contract and come to my residence, I'll tell you everything you want to know.
But before that, you may have to face the test she set for you. "
The Wise Overseer glanced at Black Earl and … Wai. "Speaking of which, I can confirm one thing now. It seems your Noah Clan has completely forgotten about the Legacy Land."
Black Earl didn't say anything and remained silent.
The Wise Overseer was right. He really didn't know about the Legacy Land. This time, they had only come because of the inspiration given to him by the smell of death.
But then again. Previously, the Wise Overseer couldn't be sure because Noah's descendants had indeed come to the underground sewers, and their goal was indeed the Legacy Land.
But now, why was he sure?
Was the answer because of … "her"?
The Wise Overseer continued. "If it was before, I would be very concerned about how you came here and why you knew about the Legacy Land. But now, this is no longer important. Because, whether you did it intentionally or not, she already knows about your identity as Noah's descendants. Since you don't plan on retreating, you only have one path, and that is to face her. "
Black Earl: "Face her, and then?"
The Wise Overseer smiled. "This is a secret of your Noah Clan. How would I know?"
Black Earl didn't believe that the Wise Overseer didn't know, because the Wise Overseer had mentioned something before. "Make her disappear?"
The Wise Overseer: "No need to test me. I really don't know. Augustine, that kid, is very mysterious. Apart from you Noah's descendants, he didn't leave behind a single word for anyone else. "
The Wise Overseer still didn't know. But Black Earl still didn't believe it.
Black Earl assumed that the Wise Overseer really didn't know anything about the Legacy Land at first. But why didn't any other Noah's descendants come here after so many years?
Even if the Wise Overseer didn't know about it before, did he not have a clue after ten thousand years?
And most importantly, he had avoided the question of "making her disappear".
Maybe that was the key?
The Wise Overseer looked back at Angor and asked, "Let's talk about the contract. Or do you have a question too?"
The Wise Overseer didn't really care about the Noah's descendants' intentions. But he really wanted to know why Angor came here. Was he really here to record the Legacy Land?
The Wise Overseer wanted to hear Angor's question.
Angor did ask what the Wise Overseer expected. However, his question had nothing to do with the Legacy Land.
"What is the test?"
The Wise Ruler: "That depends on which chess pieces she can move."
He considered and decided to get straight to the point. "Do her pieces include those strange holes in the tunnel?"
The Wise Overseer was a little surprised by Angor's question.
"Earlier, Xiaobao said that he had discovered your tracks. I didn't think you'd care about it too. "
