Dorcas looked at the Count expectantly.
The Count sniffed a little. Dorcas couldn't see the man's expression, but he felt that the man was looking at him with disdain.
So what? As long as he could sell the tickets, he didn't mind being disdained.
The Count scoffed. "No need."
Dorcas was shocked. Why would he not need it? Just now, the Black Earl had clearly expressed his admiration for the Sunlight Sanctuary and was eager to give it a try. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Just because the scroll turned into a semi-mystical one?
The Count didn't give an explanation, but Wai already knew what was going on.
His master did want to test the Light Shrine, but that didn't mean he had to go there himself. Wai could do the same.
Wai's senses could be replaced by the Count's at any time, and so could his body experience.
Therefore, as long as Wa Yi went in to experience it, it meant that the Black Earl had gone in as well. There was no need to buy a ticket from Dorcas. He could just do it for free.
From a practical point of view, Wai's conjecture was correct. However, the Count's real reason was not limited to this. It was because he suddenly felt sorry for Dorcas.
Dorcas was too frightened by the "loss of his freedom" to think clearly about the situation. He was still fooled by Angor's words.
Thinking about it carefully, how could there be logic in using the creditor's things to repay the creditor's debt?
Even if it worked, it would be done in private without telling the creditor. Now that the creditor was telling Dorcas to do this, there must be something else going on.
After the Dark Earl expressed his rejection, Dorcas showed a hint of despair. Could it be that the Sunlight Sacred Hall had suffered a loss this time? Even if he had to pay the same price to Angor, that was something to be discussed later. At least he could earn some magic crystals now.
Dorcas glanced at Wai and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he didn't say anything. Then he looked at Wai and … Kael.
"Do you want to try?"
Kael quickly shook his head. "I-I don't have any magic crystals."
Kael had some savings. But how much could an apprentice have? Almost nothing in the eyes of wizards. As such, Kael's words were not wrong.
"A wizard's spirit sea is already fixed. They can heal wounds and perform the cleansing, but it's not as effective as an apprentice's. If an acolyte goes in, the spiritual baptism is enough to make you feel as if you have been reborn. "
This meant that the effects of the Sunlight Holy Church were similar to high-grade recovery potions for Magi. It had the effects of healing the body and dispelling evil spirits.
But for apprentices, it was completely different. They could further develop the potential of their spiritual sea, and this kind of potential development was quite significant. It was even more subversive for future development. After all, the Spirit Sea was an existence that transcended dimensions, and it was not so easy to affect it.
Kael was already looking forward to joining the Light Shrine. Now that he heard Angor's words, he was even more curious.
He kept counting his belongings in his mind, but he couldn't find anything of value even after going through it once.
Seeing the disappointment in Karel's eyes, Dorcas knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.
He sighed. "How about this, you owe me for now. You can pay me back when you can give me something valuable in the future. "
Dorcas knew Kael well. This was a wizard with a lot of potential, and he was also a rare Manipulator of Space. There would be many things he could use Kael's help in the future. This was why Dorcas had been working on his relationship with Kael for a long time.
It would be better if he could make Kael owe him even more now. However, when he thought about how the Sunlight Sacred Hall didn't get any benefits, he felt his heart ache.
Dorcas swept his gaze around. He had already asked around, but none of them were willing to pay the price. This made him very vexed.
Just as Dorcas was feeling discouraged, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the Wise Sovereign in the air.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly flew into the air. However, he didn't dare to go too far for fear of being attacked by void monsters.
When he was about ten meters away from the Wise Ruler, Dorcas stopped.
"Se — ahem, Lord Ruler, are you interested in joining the Sunlight Holy Church?" Dorcas asked in a flattering tone.
The Wise Ruler was indeed interested in the Sunlight Holy Church. However, he was more interested in Angor.
Angor gave Dorcas a semi-secret scroll so casually that it could only be used a limited number of times … How could the Wise Ruler give it away?
At the very least, if it were the Sovereign of Wisdom, he wouldn't be willing to do so.
Besides, the Wise Ruler couldn't see how close Angor was to Dorcas. Why would he give away a semi-secret scroll just for a duel that he was sure to win?
There was something else that the Wise Ruler didn't understand. Noah's descendants were the ones who really wanted to win the duel. Only Noah's descendants could enter the ruins, while the others were only there to serve as foils.
Therefore, Noah's descendants must have given Dorcas a trump card. But Noah's descendants didn't. Instead, Angor gave it to Dorcas.
This was interesting.
The Wise Ruler still didn't believe that Angor had any reason to go to the ruins. He only found it interesting because he could tell that Angor really didn't care about the scroll at all.
Why not? Because he still had it? Or could it be that he was the one who made the Sunlight Sacred Hall scroll?
This was why the Wise Ruler didn't answer Dorcas' question right away. Instead, he contacted Angor through a private channel.
The Wise Ruler promised that he wouldn't ask about Angor's business again. Therefore, the Wise Sage didn't ask any questions. Instead, he told Angor all of his guesses, allowing Angor to decide whether or not to answer.
Of course, the Wise Ruler wasn't completely passive. He was also observing Angor's reaction. Sometimes, the Wise Ruler preferred to believe that a human couldn't give a direct answer.
Unfortunately, Angor was disappointed this time. Angor hid his thoughts very well. There were more than one way to interpret his subtle reactions, and each of them felt fake.
The Wise Sovereign sighed to himself, then gave up on his observations.
"If I tell you that I just made a random move without any expectations, you won't believe me, Wise Ruler. But that's the truth.
"As for where the Sunlight Shrine came from, you must have considered many possibilities already. I'm sure you have your own preferences. It doesn't matter how I explain myself. As long as I don't give you any solid evidence, you won't believe me anyway. Since I don't have any proof, why don't you just go with your own preferences? That saves me a lot of time and effort. "
He was not sure if Angor was being sincere or not. Still, the Wise Ruler couldn't find anything wrong with Angor's answer. Since Angor already agreed not to ask questions, the Wise Ruler ended the topic.
The Wise Ruler was a paranoid person. If Angor didn't give him a clear answer, he wouldn't be able to tell whether the scroll was made by Angor or not.
Thus, the Sovereign of the Wise could only sigh helplessly to himself.
Since he didn't get the answer he wanted, he had to accept it. However, he still had some questions about the Sunlight Shrine, which neither Wail nor Black Earl mentioned before.
This time, he didn't contact Angor through the encrypted channel. Instead, he looked down at Angor and asked, "I want to know if the Sunlight Shrine can be moved. If no one uses it, will it stay on the arena forever? "
The Chief Sage's question caused Dorcas' heart to clench.
If the Sunlight Shrine couldn't be moved and no one used it, wouldn't it stay here forever? Wouldn't that give the Wise Ruler an advantage?
With this in mind, Dorcas quickly looked at Angor.
If it could be moved, then he could bring the Sunlight Sacred Hall to other places. Wouldn't he make a lot of money by selling the tickets at a high price?
However, not only did Dorcas overthink things, his thoughts had not even circled around.
Angor smiled. "That's the point, Mister Judge. The Sunlight Shrine's purpose is to bring faith and civilization to a dark world. If it can be moved, wouldn't pilgrims have to change their direction every day?"
Sunlight Garden was the same. If the garden was moved, would the flowers and plants inside be moved as well?
This was why the Sunlight Shrine scrolls couldn't be moved after being activated. Once the Sunlight Shrine was activated, its position would be fixed.
Dorcas was disappointed by Angor's answer.
The Sovereign of the Wise finally said to Dorcas, "I am indeed very interested in the Sunlight Sacred Hall. However, you heard it as well …"
The Wise Sovereign paused for a moment, but he didn't continue.
Dorcas thought that he understood the Wise Sovereign's intentions and thought that the Wise Sovereign wanted to freeload. As he cursed in his heart, he pretended not to understand at all. "Doesn't that mean that the Sunlight Temple will have to remain here in the end? If we let the Sunlight Sacred Hall stay here, the price will definitely be higher. "
Upon hearing Dorcas's nonsense, the Sovereign of the Wise looked at Dorcas with a smile that wasn't a smile, not to mention what the others thought.
He had originally wanted to wake Dorcas up, but seeing how stubborn Dorcas was, the Sovereign of Wisdom couldn't be bothered to say anything. He directly said, "I won't treat you unfairly either … as for the price, when we go to my residence, I'll give you a choice. For now, let's prioritize the duel."
Dorcas looked happy. He didn't know what choice the Wise Ruler was going to give him, but at least he had something to look forward to.
After the Sovereign of the Wise finished speaking, he gently snapped his fingers. The area where the Sacred Hall of Light had been located was suddenly isolated by an even larger barrier of light.
Outside the light shield, there was an obvious narrow path.
This way, the battle wouldn't be affected and the Sunlight Sacred Hall wouldn't be destroyed.
After doing all of this, the Sovereign of Wisdom said, "Before the next duel, I can give you a few more minutes. What you want to do is up to you. Also, I want to remind you, don't be deceived by words. When anyone says that they are giving you a gift, there is always a hidden price. This includes fate, as well as man-made. "
The Wise Ruler glanced at Angor and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Dorcas didn't understand what the Wise Ruler was trying to say. Before he could think further, he heard a voice.
"Red Sword, may I ask if we can enter the Sunlight Shrine? I'll pay the price. "
Dorcas turned around and realized that the person who spoke was the gray merchant.
Dorcas was a little hesitant about Gray Merchant's request.
They didn't have much enmity with the Traveling Merchant Organization. According to the Wise Ruler, this duel was instigated by "her" behind the scenes.
If Gray Merchant was willing to pay the price, Dorcas would accept it.
However, the duel was about to begin.
Dorcas knew all too well how powerful the Sunlight Shrine was. It could even heal hidden injuries and hidden injuries in one's spirit sea.
Bloodline Wizards, on the other hand, were the ones most likely to suffer from hidden injuries.
If Gray Merchant could heal his injuries, wouldn't he be screwing Angor over?
Plus, there were more apprentices on the other side. If those apprentices also developed their potential, how should Dorcas deal with them?
It was because of this that Dorcas was very hesitant.
Gray Merchant wouldn't say anything if Dorcas refused. But now that Dorcas was clearly showing hesitation, Hui Shang's mind turned and he understood what he was thinking.
Thinking of this, Hui Shang added, "We can talk about this after the duel."
When Dorcas heard this, he immediately wanted to agree. But Angor's voice came from their Spirit Bond.
"After the duel, if your opponents are seriously injured, the Sunlight Shrine's effect will be greatly depleted. If you really want to let them in, it's best to let them in now. "
Angor suggested this because the Wise Ruler already promised to compensate Dorcas. The compensation would depend on the total amount of Sunlight Shrine's effect left in the duel.
If Gray Merchant and his apprentices used up too much of their power, they wouldn't be able to compensate the Wise Ruler even if they had to pay a corresponding price.
This was the point where Dorcas needed to think more deeply.
"If I let them in first, you'll be under a lot of pressure during the duel, right?" Dorcas hesitated for a while before speaking his mind.
Angor remained silent for a moment. "Don't worry about us. If I can borrow your trump card, I have other trump cards as well."
As for the apprentices, they weren't sure if they could win the duel anyway. However, they would have a higher chance of winning if they used their trump cards.
With that in mind, Dorcas made up his mind.
He spoke to Gray Merchant, "I can promise you that. There's no need to wait until after the duel. But if you let that tentacle monster into the Sunlight Shrine, you'll have to pay more than the others. "
