"That's it?" Dorcas asked, "I still have a lot of questions to ask."
"I think there's still a lot of money left," Wai muttered.
Dorcas said, "Don't joke around. I was just acting. You think I'm scared? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Dorcas heard the Wise Sovereign's voice by his ear. "Sixty percent …"
Dorcas almost reflexively bowed ninety degrees in the direction of the voice, then humbly said, "I was wrong. Lord Ruler, please let me go. I'll shut up. I promise I won't say another word in the future!"
After Dorcas rambled on for a long time, he suddenly realized that his surroundings were abnormally quiet. The Sovereign of Wisdom didn't say anything else. After a few seconds, it was Wa Yi who burst out laughing.
Dorcas's eyelids twitched as if he had realized something. He looked up.
There was no Wise Man in front of him. There was only Angor leaning lazily against the puppet, who was looking at him with a "kind" smile.
Angor cleared his throat and spoke in a serious tone, "It's good that you know you're wrong. But you don't have to keep quiet all the time. If someone asks you something, you can answer them."
Dorcas straightened his back and made a "hmph" with a complicated expression. It wasn't clear whether he was glad or speechless at Angor's teasing.
After straightening out his slightly wrinkled clothes and using this to alleviate some of the awkwardness, Dorcas put on a cold face, "I promise that after this, I definitely won't answer your questions!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course!" Dorcas humphed.
Then he saw Angor's "kind" expression again. Dorcas finally realized that he had answered Angor's question again.
Dorcas walked to Wai with a frustrated look. He didn't want to talk to Angor anymore.
Angor was done with his teasing as well. His relaxed expression slowly turned serious.
Along with the change of expression, the aura in the air became more and more tense. Clearly, Angor was using his aura to remind everyone that he had something important to say.
At first, everyone thought Angor was going to talk about something related to the Wise Man. Even Count Black thought so.
However, when Angor took out a magic array board and created a private space around them, they began to pay more attention to it.
Was he worried that the Sovereign of the Wise would spy on them? If that was the case, what Angor said might not be what they thought.
As expected, everyone was surprised when they heard Angor's words.
"Adanis. That's her name."
Angor did not mention who "she" was, but everyone knew that there was only one "she" in the underground sewer — the blonde woman hiding behind the mirror.
Before this, no one knew her name. They only knew that she was in the ruins and might be related to Noah's ancestors. She was the female half of the Mirror Demon God. He had no other information.
Even the Wise Overseer never mentioned her name. How did he know about her?
They were sure that Angor knew nothing about the Hidden Mirror Man before the duel. How did he learn about the Hidden Mirror Man so quickly?
"Did the Wise Ruler tell you this?" Dorcas asked.
After hearing Dorcas' question, Angor's serious expression quickly turned into a "loving" one. He gave Dorcas a meaningful look.
Angor did not say anything, but Dorcas felt like he was being insulted.
"The Wise Ruler never mentioned it," Count Black said.
He paused and looked at Angor again. "How did you know?"
Angor did not answer right away. Instead, he pondered with a serious look on his face. It looked like he was sorting out his words.
But in fact, Angor was thinking about Count Black's question.
From the Black Earl's question, it was clear that the "consciousness" that possessed the whale-shaped monster in the void had not contacted the Black Earl.
This was strange.
Angor thought that the consciousness might have contacted Count Black first. After all, Count Black was the true descendant of Noah. But now it seemed that the answer was the same.
The consciousness only contacted him.
Why would it contact him instead of the true descendant of Noah?
Angor observed everyone's expressions while thinking. Not only Count Black, but the others also did not receive any information from him.
If this was the Nightmare Realm, Angor would understand. But this was just an underground waterway in the real world. Angor did not think that he was special here.
If he was, he would not use Iron Granny as his trump card.
There had to be something else going on. Did he have something on him that caught the consciousness' attention? Was it a key?
He did not have enough information to make an accurate judgment. He would have to ask when they met again.
…
Since the consciousness did not contact Count Black, Angor did not know if it was because of some other reason. It was obvious that the consciousness did not want to contact Noah's descendant.
Since that was the case, Angor decided to keep it a secret for now. Besides, the consciousness did not tell him who it was.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you where the information came from. I need more evidence to make sure it's true. "
Angor's words implied two things. First, he did not know whether the information was true or not. Second, he knew something else apart from her name.
But there was also a third piece of information hidden in the darkness. He must have gotten the information not long ago.
In other words, it was very likely that he got it during the duel.
As for how Angor got the information, no one asked since he did not want to tell them. They had not known Angor for a long time, but they all trusted him. He must have his reasons for doing so.
Even the Dark Earl didn't continue asking. Instead, he asked, "Is there any other information?"
Angor nodded. "As far as I know, there are two pieces of information. The first one is about the source of the information. I'll tell you more about it after I confirm it. The second one is that we might run into a powerful otherworldly monster on our way to the ruins after passing through the Sage Hall."
"Monster from another world?" Even the Black Earl was surprised when he heard this.
One had to know that even if it was a Void Demon, the Black Earl would not be too surprised. Void monsters did not rely on the ground. They preferred to roam and live in the void.
Because of this, the wizards would not care about them as long as they did not wreak havoc in the southern wizarding region. In any case, it wouldn't take long for them to leave.
Even the Supreme Cult did not want to spend too much effort to deal with them.
According to the Supreme Cult's doctrine, void monsters were creatures that did not belong to this world and should be killed without mercy. But generally speaking, the Supreme Cult members wouldn't care as long as the void monsters didn't directly collide with them.
The reason was the same. They would leave sooner or later.
Since void monsters would not stay for too long, they would not cause too much damage to the southern wizarding region. Instead of wasting time on them, it was better to deal with demon worshippers. Of course, the Supreme Cult would not bother to deal with demon worshippers under normal circumstances.
However, if it was an otherworldly creature, it would be a completely different story.
Otherworldly creatures, whether they were sentient creatures, plants, or monsters, could cause devastating damage to the native world's ecosystem.
The Supreme Cult prioritized dealing with such cases the most.
For example, Glowing Velvet Grass was an otherworldly magical plant, which was also the main ingredient of Glowing Velvet Potion. It would not cause too much damage to the world. However, if the Supreme Cult found out where Glowing Velvet Grass could be planted, they would rush to destroy it.
This was much more effective than dealing with demon worshippers or void monsters.
Many apprentices did not understand why the Supreme Cult would do something like this. In Jon's words, it was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
But Angor understood why the Supreme Cult would do something like this. Any foreign creature would destroy the local ecosystem, and if any part of the ecosystem was affected, it would affect the whole ecosystem. The foreign species here were not creatures from another world. Different continents had their own unique ecological chains, and the chances of problems arising were extremely high.
However, no matter how bad the ecosystem was, it was still based on the natural laws of the world. The problem would only last for a while. Eventually, the ecosystem would repair itself and either completely reject the foreign creatures or reorganize the ecosystem.
However, if the foreign creatures here were otherworldly creatures … Things would be different.
Even if it was just a small Glowing Velvet Grass, it could completely destroy the ecological chain.
Therefore, the Supreme Cult would treat Glowing Velvet Grass with great caution. Not to mention otherworldly monsters.
Since the Supreme Cult always suppressed otherworldly creatures, the southern wizardry region rarely had any chance of encountering otherworldly monsters. Also, the Supreme Cult had a special way to detect the spatial ripples caused by the arrival of powerful otherworldly monsters.
This was why Black Earl was a little surprised when Angor told him that they might run into a "powerful otherworldly monster".
If this powerful otherworldly monster was real, then there would be three different situations if the otherworldly monster were to descend to this world.
First, if the otherworldly monster forced its way into the southern wizardry region, the Supreme Cult would definitely sense its aura and follow it here.
Second, if the otherworldly monster was weak when it first arrived, it would only grow stronger because time had given it the opportunity to do so. This meant that they would be facing an ancient monster that had lived for a long time.
Third, there was another way to fool the Supreme Cult. It was through summoning and offering sacrifices. Summoning was not a big deal. Just like void monsters, it would only be temporary and would eventually return to its original world.
But if it was a sacrifice, it might involve the issue of faith. The believers of the Demon God were actually fine because no matter how much they believed in the Demon God, if the Demon God wanted to enter the Southern Region, the World Will would take the initiative to warn them. But if it were other miscellaneous believers, such as believers of wild gods and believers of foreign gods, it would be a little troublesome because these gods were different from the Demon God. If the Demon God wanted to enter, he would bring a bunch of demons with him. As for these foreign gods and wild gods, they would not come to the Southern Region with their main bodies and would only secretly send various subordinates to infiltrate.
As for how to infiltrate the southern wizardry region? Just look at the conflict between the factions in Song of the Deep. Almost all the factions that opposed Sea God were related to otherworldly creatures.
Also, Balba was a product of infiltration. He might not be biased toward otherworldly creatures, but it was an indisputable fact that he had barbarian blood in him.
Balba was no longer rejected by the world's consciousness, which meant that the barbarians had successfully infiltrated the southern wizardry region.
If Balba's bloodline continued for a few more generations, the world's consciousness would no longer classify them as otherworldly creatures.
However, they still had otherworldly blood. Even if the world's consciousness did not reject them, there was a high chance that they would become "spies" and infiltrate the wizardry world.
This was a difficult situation to deal with.
Therefore, the Supreme Cult's attack on the demon god's followers was more like a "drill" and "training". They would drive them away but not kill them. However, when it came to the followers of foreign gods and wild gods, they would kill them without mercy regardless of the reason.
In the Black Earl's eyes, all three of the above methods were troublesome. Either they would run into the Supreme Cult or they would run into "old foxes" who had been in the southern wizardry region for countless years. Either way, they would not be easy to deal with.
The Dark Earl shared his analysis. "If it's really a demon from another world, what kind of demon is it?"
Angor shook his head. "I don't know. I need more confirmation. But I don't think the Supreme Cult is involved. If they really wanted to come, they would have arrived long ago. "
The Black Earl said, "So, the biggest possibility is that we will run into an 'old monster'?"
"I can't be sure. I need more observation."
Although Angor's answer sounded perfunctory, Black Earl could sense that Angor was not lying.
With that in mind, Black Earl decided to trust Angor for now.
Angor paused for a moment before he added, "Also, there's one more thing I need to say. This otherworldly demon is powerful, but unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to bring the battle to the Sage Hall. Also, try not to get the Sage Ruler to help. "
Angor did not mention the reason. Everyone was already used to it. In any case, they had no intention of asking the Wise Ruler for help. Magi believed in their own strength, and believed that fate was in their own hands.
"As for the source of the information, I'll tell you after we run into the monster and confirm whether it's true or not." Angor ended the meeting with these words.
However, Angor did not deactivate the barrier right away. Instead, he continued to talk about their next plan.
