Angor remained silent for a while, so the girl considered and said, "My question might be a little rude. How about this? I'll give you a message for free. "
Before Angor could say anything, Dorcas already spoke up, "You said you couldn't see the bond and didn't give me a message. Now you're giving me a message for free? "
The silver-haired girl originally didn't want to pay attention to Dorcas's voice, but Dorcas's words did indeed arouse the curiosity of the others. They all looked towards the silver-haired girl. "I can't form a bond with you, but there are many things about you that I can see …" She considered for a moment before speaking again.
"Huh? Huh? "
The one who spoke was still Dorcas. His voice went from a high pitch to a low pitch, and his eyes slowly turned from shock to wretchedness.
Dorcas didn't say anything, but he sounded like he was going to tell a great story.
The girl glanced at Dorcas and held back her anger. She lowered her voice and explained, "The Mind's Reflection only works on intelligent beings."
In other words, the message wasn't about Angor, but the intelligent beings he carried with him.
For example, Dankros or the Wood Spirit.
Angor heard the girl's words, but he wasn't interested at all. Her "Mind's Reflection" was nothing compared to Dodoro's prophecy.
Every time Angor tried to find Dodoro, Dodoro would always wait for him at the place he was supposed to go. Before Angor could say anything, Dodoro would give him important prophecies.
This time, when Angor went to find Dodoro, Dodoro already said, "Wise men aren't fools."
Angor hadn't met a wise man yet, which meant Dodoro's prophecy was unbelievably powerful.
With someone like Dodoro's support, Angor didn't really care about the message.
Despite his thoughts, Angor put on an "interesting" expression.
After all, no one knew about Dodoro's relationship with Phantom Island. Dodoro's performance on the Stargazing Day was more widely known than his fame. Thanks to the Mystery item, the Stargazing Day wasn't entirely Dodoro's credit. Therefore, many people doubted Dodoro's ability to predict the future.
He didn't want Dodoro to know the truth about his "prophecy" ability before Dodoro gained enough power.
"Sorry, I can't answer that."
Angor continued under the girl's disappointed gaze, "It's not that I don't want to answer, but I don't know. Before this, I've never even heard of your so-called bond, body of time, and reflection of the heart. "
"I've never even heard of it. How can I guard against your so-called bond?"
Angor shrugged. "You're not the only one who's curious. I'm curious too."
Angor's words were frank, and the others nodded in agreement. They had been communicating with each other through Spirit Bond, so they could easily tell whether Angor was pretending or not.
Besides, Dodoro kept complaining about how unfair the rabbit girl gave her mask to Angor.
During the whole process, Angor's mind was completely unguarded. Whether he knew or not, everyone here could see it.
Therefore, they all agreed with Angor's words.
As for whether they were curious or not? They were curious as well. But since Angor said he didn't know, they couldn't expect Angor to show them everything he had to prove which was the "truth", could they?
Angor wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated. Back then, Angor didn't show any fear when facing the Wise Lord, which meant he had something up his sleeve. Of course, they wouldn't do something like teasing Angor.
The girl stared at Angor for a long time before she spoke in a soft voice, "You're right. I was too naive. I spent too much time drifting in that distant sea. Too many complicated memories made me forget that everything in reality needs to follow logic. Asking questions without logic won't yield any results. "
The silver-haired girl's words were very vague, but the meaning was nothing more than: I know you must have a conclusion in your heart, but I can't prove it because I don't have enough evidence. Logic doesn't allow me to infer this conclusion. So, you win.
Angor understood what she meant. He didn't mind the "self-mockery" in her words.
Instead, he was curious about the girl's opinion.
"Why do you think I have an answer?"
"I can't. Because I can't come up with a logical answer that can convince you," the girl said.
What a shameless answer … Angor sighed in his mind. However, he didn't show it on his face. "Fine. I don't need a convincing answer from you. Purely in terms of results, you think I must have an answer, don't you? "
"Yes." She answered without hesitation.
Angor chuckled. "Before this, I'm sure I don't have an answer. You can walk out of the mirror and use your Word of Truth spell to see if I'm lying.
But after hearing your answer, I'm starting to have an idea. "
If the silver-haired girl's judgment was "absolutely correct", then he was sure that one of his previous guesses was correct.
The Green Pattern, the Origin Flame, the Blood Night Protection, the Dream Wilderness, and the Alien Eye. One of them was definitely the correct answer.
But he couldn't be sure which one it was.
"I do have several answers in mind. If you're right, the answer you're looking for should be one of them." Angor did not try to hide anything from Sunders.
The silver-haired girl's eyes lit up as she looked at Angor.
Angor shrugged. "But the answers I've come up with … are all secrets."
Angor narrowed his eyes. "So, what makes you think you have the right to make me tell you my secret?"
Angor's words didn't contain any emotion, but they were filled with hostility.
However, the silver-haired girl did not get angry. Instead, she considered the question carefully. After a while, she asked hesitantly, "What about the gift I just gave? Can't it work?"
"Do you think these intelligent beings on my body will understand your words?"
Angor paused and pointed at the others. "Do you think they'll be grateful to you for your words?"
"You're using your so-called bond to forcefully connect the karma. You're using your mask to force us to enter the Bridge of Fetters and Karma. Your words were arranged by the Lord of Wisdom for you. We didn't ask for them, and they're not what we need right now. " "You can say that you're using your words as a 'reward'. Have you ever thought about how we're going to view your words?"
"They're just a reward for living in your own world. To us, they're just extra burdens for no reason.
"Plus, your past self gave us a test. It looks like a test, but it's actually a way to create a karmic connection between us, isn't it? We didn't ask for any of that. We were even tricked into joining your bond. What makes you think we're going to be so grateful? "
Angor's previous words were just a little provocative. But now, he was ready to fire the fuse.
However, what he said really made the others stunned for a moment. They didn't think about this before. They were only wondering why Angor would test them for different reasons. Now, Angor had a clear idea of what was going on.
Everything she did was to create a karmic connection.
The mask was also a product of karma. Since they had obtained the "effect" of the mask fragment, the "cause" of this "effect" would naturally be connected.
Angor also suspected that the silver-haired girl wouldn't have been able to appear in front of them at all without the karmic connection between her and her past selves.
The silver-haired girl already told them that her true body was still hidden in the Distant Sea, so she could only use her past selves to contact them.
Back then, Angor asked what was in front of them if the main body was still in the Distant Sea.
Her answer was: a mirror image. In other words, it was a shadow.
According to this situation, she could have used her shadow to meet them from the beginning, but she did not do so. Instead, she let the Shi Shen come into contact with them in advance. That meant that before the Shi Shen came into contact with them and established a karmic bond, she could not even appear in front of them.
It could be said that everything had been arranged by her.
They were kept in the dark while she led them through a series of things. She created the bond, took off the mask, and turned the karmic connection into karma.
After doing all this, she didn't think she did anything wrong. She even thought that giving them a "message" was already a reward.
Wasn't he looking down on them a little too much?
They were looking forward to the "surprise" from the Wise Ruler, but it didn't mean they could accept such a "surprise" that they had no right to know. Just a few words and he was dismissed? What about the karmic connection?
If the karmic connection could allow the silver-haired girl to see the so-called "reflection of her heart", couldn't she use it to do something else?
Prophets often used their pheromones and karmic connections to make predictions or even curse others.
The three major schools of Prophecy even had special words for it: "Pluck the Strings of World", "Draw the River of Fate", and "Disturb the Wheel of Time".
In the silver-haired girl's words, these were "bonds" and "karmic bridges".
Prophets could curse others, but what about the girl's "bonds"? Did they not have any offensive power?
Wasn't it a trick to create a bond between them without them knowing it? A message was enough to get rid of them?
Because Angor learned the truth about the "bonds" and "karmic bridges" from her, he felt that the girl was simply … brainless.
If she didn't ask for anything, Angor could just keep it to himself.
However, the girl still wanted to find out more after learning that Angor's answer was a "secret". She even thought that she could get Angor's secret by giving him a message. This was why Angor ignited the powder keg.
Of course, Angor wasn't as angry as he appeared to be. He did this because he wanted to observe the girl, as well as find out her personality, ability, background, and bottom line.
Dark Earl was probably the only one who could see through Angor's plan. Dorcas and his two apprentices, on the other hand, had completely fallen into Angor's "victim" background.
The more they thought about Angor's words, the more they felt the same way.
They glared at the silver-haired girl.
The girl didn't expect Angor to suddenly attack her. Moreover, what he said really stirred up everyone's emotions.
She wasn't a self-centered person. She tried to understand Angor's anger.
In her opinion, everything was to repay the kindness of the Sage. She didn't have any other thoughts. But that was only from her perspective. If she stood in Angor's shoes, she might feel all the negative emotions Angor mentioned.
Because of this difference in understanding, she had seen countless cases of betrayal and isolation in the distant sea filled with all kinds of broken memories.
Through these memories, she began to understand why Angor was so angry.
She hesitated for a moment and slowly reached out a hand.
Her slender and fair fingers pointed at the crowd through the prism.
Dorcas immediately pulled Wa Yi and Kael behind him. At the same time, Elmi crawled out from the shadows. Soren stood beside Elmi, shielding him from the front.
While they were on guard, the silver-haired girl tapped the prism lightly.
The surface of the mirror rippled like the surface of a lake.
As soon as the ripples appeared, several figures walked out of the mirror.
It wasn't the silver-haired girl. It was her three avatars: the bard, the Astrologer, and the bunny girl.
After they appeared, the Bard and the Astrologer opened their palms respectively.
Streaks of light rippled out from their palms. These streaks of light didn't contain any offensive energy. Instead, they showed various images of Black Earl, Dorcas, and the other apprentices when they were answering questions.
The images turned into a ray of light and merged into the stone mask in the Hand of Spell.
When the light disappeared, the bunny girl took out a mask from her carrot pouch and placed it in front of everyone.
It was the same mask that the silver-haired girl was holding. It was the same mask that depicted a woman's face.
With that done, all three avatars disappeared at the same time.
The silver-haired girl's voice echoed in everyone's ears. "The Bond and Bridge of Fate aren't very useful to me since I'm just a mirror image. They'll only sink into the Mirror Abyss in the end. But since you care about them, I'll return them to you.
"The Bond has been restored. The Bridge of Fate has been severed.
"The Shepherd God's Double Face is my compensation for my rudeness."
