Just like before, the green runes hidden inside his glove began to move around his fingertips.
Soon, the runes on his fingertips formed a familiar structure.
[Release, Passage, Door]
A mist-like aura began to spread from Angor's fingertips.
In the eyes of the others, Angor's aura carried a strange aura. The aura kept extending until it reached into the Book of Commandments.
Since Angor had been releasing the same aura whenever he cast illusions along the way, no one doubted that the aura didn't come from Angor.
Even the Wise Overseer, who had signed a contract with Angor, didn't doubt it at all.
When both parties' auras were absorbed by the contract, both Angor and the Wise Overseer felt the power of the contract slowly flowing out from the Book of Commandments.
Soon, the contract connected Angor and the Wise Overseer together.
In an instant, a certain image appeared in Angor's mind. In the image, there was a Three-Eyed Blue Devil that was as big as a small mountain. However, it was different from the other ferocious Three-Eyed Blue Devils. Its expression was very calm and its eyes were filled with wisdom. It stood on an unknown mountain and looked up at the night sky that was filled with bright stars.
A shooting star suddenly flashed across the curtain of the night and rushed straight towards the Three-Eyed Blue Devil on the mountain top.
The Three-Eyed Blue Demon reached out its hand as if trying to catch the meteor.
However, when the glowing meteor arrived in front of the Three-Eyed Blue Devil, it was discovered that it was only a beam of light without any substance.
The Three-Eyed Blue Demon didn't catch the light. Instead, it went straight into the demon's forehead.
The Three-Eyed Blue Demon's body was bathed in the light.
The light grew brighter and brighter until it completely covered Angor's mind.
The blinding light lasted for a few seconds. When the light gradually faded, the Three-Eyed Blue Demon standing on the mountain peak had already disappeared. The background had changed into a gorgeous palace complex. A delicate and handsome youth with a pair of eyes between his brows was standing on the observatory under the starlight, continuing to look up at the starry sky …
These images took shape in Angor's mind and turned into a contract that was branded deep inside his mind space.
Without a doubt, the Three-Eyed Blue Demon in the image was the Wise Overseer.
From the moment he looked up at the starry sky, he had gained sentience. The meteor that fell from the sky was not a real star, but an image that represented the enlightenment of the light of wisdom.
In the end, the Three-Eyed Blue Devil became a wise man after experiencing the baptism of wisdom.
He was still in a daze after reading the book.
This was the first time he had ever signed a contract with a Book of Truth. It was completely different from all the contracts he had signed before. He was able to see the Sovereign of Wisdom's life through the energy imprinted on the contract.
This was something he had never experienced before.
Through this experience, he felt as if he was experiencing the life of the Wise Man. He now knew more about the Wise Man and the Wise Man.
He did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. But now, he was worried about the Wise Ruler.
Since Angor could see the brief life of the Ruler of Wisdom, didn't that mean the Ruler of Wisdom could see his past as well?
Angor began to worry again.
He wasn't afraid of people prying into his past, because his path of growth was the same. Other than Jon, who became different after joining, there wasn't much difference between him and the rest of the people in this world.
However, he was worried that the Wise Overseer was not looking at him.
Angor regretted using nightmare energy to replace his own. Well, it was not exactly accurate since he used nightmare energy, but it was still his "own" energy. Strictly speaking, it was still his own energy.
However, Angor couldn't figure out the source of the energy. He only knew that the green mark was the medium that connected the energy to the Nightmare Realm.
Nightmare energy wouldn't come out of nowhere. It was very likely that it had something to do with 'that person'.
Angor was worried that the Wise Overseer was looking at "that person's" life. And 'that person' wasn't someone to be trifled with. Last time, 'that person' was spied on, and the consequence was the death of a demon god.
Angor pretended to look at the other side.
The Wise Overseer still didn't open his eyes. It seemed he was still immersed in the image given by the contract.
The only thing Angor could do was to pray silently. Hopefully, everything will go well.
…
The contract in the Book of Commandments allowed Angor to see some of the Wise Overseer's past. However, Angor was wrong about the so-called "past". It wasn't a real past. It was a special, generalized version of it.
Angor saw the Wise Overseer reaching out to grab a meteor or standing on an observatory to look at the stars. None of that actually existed.
The Wise Sovereign had never done any of these things. These things were just a sort of 'specialization', or 'beautification', in summary.
They were simulated by the power of the contract through some unknown means.
Because of this, Angor didn't have to worry about his secret being discovered.
Otherwise, the Wise Overseer wouldn't have signed the contract without worry. Angor had his own secrets, but so did the Wise Overseer.
Just as Angor expected, the Wise Overseer was looking at the "past" that was "modified" by the power of the contract.
However, the Wise Overseer was getting more and more confused. What was he looking at?
He was standing on a dark balcony. Apart from the faint light coming from the window, there was no other source of light. There wasn't even any moonlight or starlight. The sky was so dark that the Wise Overseer wondered if there were any clouds or mist.
Since it was too dark, the Wise Overseer couldn't see his surroundings clearly. He could only see that he was standing on the balcony of a noble's castle.
"A noble's castle." This meant that Angor used to be a noble. Judging from Angor's behavior, the Wise Overseer also believed that he was a noble.
But why was the area around the castle so dark? Was it because this scene happened to be in the middle of a dark night?
Since the Wise Overseer couldn't see his surroundings, he could only look through the balcony window.
Inside, there was indeed a faint light, but … what left the Wise Sovereign speechless was that the curtains were closed!
Luckily, there was a small gap between the curtains, which allowed him to see a little inside. However, there weren't many scenes that he could see.
He could only see that the interior of the castle was well-decorated. There was a desk not far away, and there was an oil lamp on it.
There was a reflection on the desk, and there was a hand quickly writing something on a wrinkled parchment.
But that was all he could see. The rest was blocked by the curtains.
He couldn't even see who the owner of the hand was. Of course, the Wise Overseer was only complaining in his mind. There was no doubt that Angor's hand was in this special scene.
Since he couldn't see Angor's face, the Wise Overseer tried to see what Angor was writing.
But he was even more confused. There was nothing on the parchment. What's going on? He saw Angor writing something with a quill. Why was there nothing?
As the Wise Overseer's mind was filled with questions, the hand suddenly stopped writing.
The Wise Overseer saw the reflection on the desk elongate.
"Angor" stood up!
She heard footsteps. Angor was walking toward the window!
The Wise Overseer even saw a long strand of blond hair through the gap. It was the same as the image of the blonde hair in the Book of Truth.
The Wise Overseer couldn't see Angor's face clearly back then. Now that he was walking toward the window, he should be able to see what Angor looked like.
As the Wise Overseer pondered, the curtains were pulled open.
But at the same time, the scene was cut away.
The Wise Overseer didn't see anything. He only saw the curtains being pulled open, and his vision was filled with a dim yellow light. Next, the scene changed to another place.
The Wise Overseer felt a little disappointed that he couldn't see Angor's face. However, he also knew that such specialization would result in a change in the picture. To a certain extent, this meant that the time scale would be lengthened, or rather … "growth."
The scene was probably "Angor"'s daily life as a noble when he was still a mortal.
The current scene was probably "Angor"'s life after becoming a supernatural.
With this in mind, the Wise Overseer looked around. Then … he fell silent.
When he was standing on the balcony, everything was dark. But now, the second scene was also dark. What was going on?
Why was Angor's scene so dark? Was it because he had a dark heart? The Wise Overseer tried to guess, but he couldn't see how dark Angor's heart really was.
Dark Magi and light Magi were concepts of the current era, but the Wise Ruler was an old monster who had seen countless people. Whether the other party's soul leaned towards the dark or the light, he could roughly tell.
Angor was definitely not dark.
But his special scene was simply too dark.
The Wise Sovereign could only shift the blame onto the power of the contract and the World Will. This was because these manifestations were all caused by the contract, and the contract was the manifestation of the World Will.
Back in the image, although the surroundings were pitch-black and he couldn't see the situation clearly, this kind of darkness wasn't absolute darkness. Moreover, there was a button-sized hole in front of him. There was a faint light outside the hole, so he could roughly guess the situation around him.
The Wise Overseer looked at the button-sized hole and found it familiar. It was the same feeling he had when he was on the balcony.
The balcony was also dark. The only light came from the gap between the curtains. Here, the only light came from the hole.
The Wise Overseer shook off his messy thoughts and looked at the specific location in the scene.
The Wise Overseer's expression became even more confused.
The world was inside a cabinet?!
Why were the angles in Angor's special scene getting weirder and weirder?
As the Wise Overseer complained in his mind, he heard familiar footsteps approaching.
The Wise Overseer already heard those footsteps when he was outside the window. However, when the footsteps approached the window and pulled the curtains open, the scene was cut away.
Therefore, the Wise Overseer could tell that the footsteps belonged to "Angor".
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Angor seemed to be coming this way.
The footsteps were coming from the front, which meant the Wise Overseer could see Angor's face through the button-sized hole.
The Wise Overseer didn't bother to think about why he had to see Angor's face. Maybe it was a kind of obsession?
The Wise Overseer moved closer without hesitation.
The Wise Overseer didn't notice that the footsteps outside had already disappeared.
When his eyes met the hole, his heart, which had been silent for who knows how many years, suddenly beat with a thump.
That's …
He thought he could see Angor's face, but he didn't. What he saw through the hole was only an eye.
It was an eye that was peeking inside the cupboard.
When the Wise Overseer saw the eye, his vision became clear again as if it was being soaked in water. He had already recovered from the special effect of the contract.
At the same time, the Book of Truth began to flicker, and the contract slowly disappeared. This meant … the contract had been formed.
However, the Wise Overseer didn't care too much about the contract. Compared to that, he was more concerned about the pair of eyes outside the hole.
They were a pair of very special eyes.
The pupils of his blue eyes were filled with dense green light patterns. These light patterns were like the "blood vessels" in the whites of his eyes, but they were jumping and spreading. There was a different kind of beauty to it, but it was also extremely strange.
Are those Angor's eyes?
The Wise Overseer couldn't help but look at Angor. Angor's eyes were now golden, so he couldn't tell what they looked like in the special scene.
However, the Wise Overseer still saw several moving green runes in Angor's right eye.
This confirmed the Wise Overseer's suspicion. Angor's eyes really did have those strange green runes.
He didn't know what those runes were, but he didn't ask. Perhaps it was Angor's talent. It wasn't polite to pry into other people's abilities.
The Sage didn't ask about the green runes, but he still couldn't help but complain to Angor.
"Just how shameful is your real face? Why do you have to cover it so tightly? "
It was one thing to use Transfiguration and Illusion to conceal his appearance in reality, but even in the special image of the contract, his true appearance could not be seen.
"Huh?"
Seeing the Wise Overseer awake, Angor relaxed a little. However, he was still puzzled by the Wise Overseer's question.
