Adanis was about to interrupt the Wise Ruler when she saw that it was Kair. She wasn't interested in an unrelated Magus like Dorcas, let alone an unrelated apprentice.
However, before Adanis could say anything, the Wise Ruler's first sentence caught her attention.
"Speaking of which, this person is the one who started their exploration of the underground waterways."
"This person is very interesting. He has a remnant soul attached to his body. With the unconscious help of the remnant soul, he became an innate talent. Under the influence of the remnant soul, he began an ancient ruin exploration project. This remnant soul seems to care a lot about the ruins. Perhaps he wants to use this opportunity to find some ruins. "
As the Wise Sovereign continued to explain, Adanis' interest gradually grew. The main reason was that the Wise Ruler's way of speaking made Adanis think that the ruins the remnant soul was looking for were the underground waterways.
Moreover, Kair was the one who started their exploration of the underground waterways. This made Adanis think that this remnant soul might have something to do with the ruins.
This time, Adanis didn't rush him. Instead, she listened carefully to the Wise Ruler's narration, trying to guess who this remnant soul might be. Could it have something to do with Augustine or Margaret, or Warden Franklin?
Adanis pondered as she listened, but didn't notice that the Wise Ruler hadn't mentioned Laplace's words yet.
It was yet another long and tedious narration.
By the end, Adanis could tell that something wasn't right. She asked about Laplace's words.
At this moment, the Wise Ruler spoke slowly, "Search for the tracker of the past. Your home is not here."
Veins popped out on Adanis' forehead when she heard this, "Are you messing with me?"
The Wise Ruler's expression didn't change, "How would I dare? I'm just following His Majesty's instructions and introducing them one by one. If His Majesty wants me to say something interesting, then I'll say something interesting. Isn't that right? "
How could Adanis not understand the Wise Ruler's intentions at this point? He was using this as an excuse to find out who she really cared about.
Moreover, at this point, Adanis understood that the Sage had probably guessed who she wanted to hear the message from.
Adanis took a deep breath and said, "That's enough. Tell me about the other red-haired wizard."
The other red-haired wizard was none other than Angor, who had changed his appearance.
At the beginning of his story, the Sage wondered if Adanis would pay more attention to Angor. Now, it seemed that he was right.
The Sage didn't show it on his face, but he was getting more and more confused in his mind. What did Adanis see in him? Why did he pay so much attention to him?
"It's about his words of wisdom …"
The Wise Sovereign sighed. He had originally wanted to suppress his emotions, but before he could do so, Adanis' gaze suddenly froze.
The Wise Sovereign seemed to sense something as well. He looked in the direction of the tunnel and muttered, "Are we finally going to meet?"
"Let's put his words aside for now," Adanis said. "The second reason I'm here is to get control of the magic array near your hall."
The Wise Sovereign glanced at Adanis. "This request exceeds the scope of our agreement. Allowing Your Majesty to come and go as you please is already the most I can do. "
"I'm not asking for control of your hall!" Adanis rebuked.
"Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that the magic array around my hall belongs to the core node of the hall. Giving it to Your Majesty means that you're indirectly controlling my hall."
The Wise Sovereign clearly didn't want to cooperate. Adanis also knew that her request was a bit excessive. She only brought it up for another purpose.
"You can't give me control, but you can at least give me supervision, right?"
This was Adanis' true goal. She wanted to see Angor and his companions being devoured by the Phantom Slave. She could throw the others into the Sea of Mirrors, but Angor had to die!
The Wise Sovereign knew what Adanis was trying to do. First, she would exaggerate her request to the point that Angor couldn't accept it. Then, when Angor refused, she would lower her request and achieve her true goal.
This kind of trick … was unnecessary.
He had the same request as Adanis. He also wanted to use the magic array to see if Angor could get past the Phantom Slave and reach the hall.
Therefore, Adanis didn't need to use any tricks. If she asked directly, the Wise Sovereign would fulfill her request.
"Your Majesty wants the right to supervise. Do you want to admire how the Netherworld Slaves devour outsiders?"
Adanis snorted coldly, not giving any comment.
"If that's the case, why don't we watch the livestream together?"
"Livestream?" Adanis looked at the Wise Sovereign in confusion.
The Wise Sovereign chuckled. "It's a term I learned not long ago. Don't worry about it. Just watch."
With that, the Wise Sovereign tapped on the wall beside him. The thick wall suddenly turned into a transparent screen, which showed Angor and his companions groping their way forward.
They were about 50 meters away from the fork where the Phantom Slave was. However, they seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. They all slowed down and put on serious and cautious expressions.
"This is the livestream?" Adanis was surprised. The Wise Sovereign didn't give them the right to watch the livestream, but they could still see what was going on outside.
"Sort of. What I saw before was a holographic livestream. But I don't have the ability to do that. Using the right to watch the livestream, it shouldn't be a problem, "the Wise Sovereign explained.
Adanis kept her eyes on the screen. "He can see the livestream too?"
The Wise Sovereign looked back and saw Angor looking straight at the "camera" as if he was looking at them through the screen.
The Wise Sovereign was surprised. Angor can't really see us, can he?
When the Wise Overseer was still doubting him, Angor quickly shifted his gaze away as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.
The Wise Sovereign thought for a moment, then said in a confident tone, "That's impossible. How could he have discovered us?"
Although Adanis had her suspicions as well, seeing how certain the Wise Sovereign was, she believed him.
Since Angor's group was still moving forward, Adanis asked the Wise Sovereign's question again, "Now, you can tell us about this wizard's message."
"May I know why you're interested in his message, Your Majesty?"
"It's none of your business," Adanis said in a flat tone.
The Wise Sovereign said, "Alright then. The answer Your Majesty wants is … I don't know."
Adanis frowned. "What do you mean? Are you threatening me? "
The Wise Ruler shrugged and said innocently, "I believe that the Goddess has misunderstood my intentions. What I meant was that she was unable to see the reflection of this Magus' heart. Which means he didn't say anything. "
Adanis was stunned for a moment before she realized what the Wise Lord meant. "Her heart's reflection can't see this wizard?"
The Wise Sovereign nodded.
Adanis mumbled to herself, "That's impossible. She was born in this mirror domain. How can she not see through a human wizard with the ability granted by the mirror domain?"
The Wise Ruler: "I don't know about that. Perhaps this Sorcerer's background is not simple?"
Adanis looked up and stared at the Wise Sovereign. "What do you know?"
The Wise Sovereign was about to speak when Adanis cut him off. "Don't try to fool me. You can talk nonsense with other people, but you can't even talk nonsense when it comes to this guy."
The Wise Ruler: "The others can deduce, and with the words of bestowment as evidence, we can more or less say something. But as for him, he was a very shrewd lad. Everything he did was watertight. Plus, he didn't say anything. I don't know much about him. "
Adanis snickered. "His name, who he is, what kind of power he has. You don't know anything about him?"
"Let's not talk about that for now. I thought Your Majesty already knew who he is since you're so concerned about him."
Adanis raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
"Then I'm curious. If you don't know who he is, why do you care so much about him?"
Adanis said coldly, "I said this has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is tell me everything you know about him. You don't need to worry about anything else. "
The Wise Sovereign: "As for him … I really don't know much about him."
"I only know that he's an illusionist or a space manipulator. He also has some alchemy skills. As for his name, his team calls him 'Gold'."
Adanis asked, "What about other information? What's his purpose here? What's so special about him? "
Adanis' questions provided the Wise Sovereign with a lot of information, but he only grew more and more confused.
He chose to keep Angor's name a secret because he wanted to know what Adanis cared about the boy the most.
However, Adanis didn't seem to know anything about Angor's abilities or name. She didn't seem to care.
That wasn't all. She even asked the Wise Sovereign about Angor's purpose and what was so special about him.
In other words, Adanis knew almost nothing about Angor.
The Wise Sovereign was getting more and more confused. He thought Adanis knew something about Angor, but now it seemed that Angor wasn't lying. He knew almost nothing about Adanis, and Adanis never met Angor. If Adanis knew nothing about Angor, then why did she pay so much attention to Angor? Why was she so hostile, or even murderous, toward Angor?
Where could he find the answer to this question?
The Wise Sovereign kept talking to Adanis without changing his expression. Inside his mind space, countless information streams were flowing around, trying to find out what was suspicious about Angor and Adanis.
"His purpose? They all said that this is an unexpected adventure, which means they don't have a purpose. They're just here to explore. "
Adanis said, "Do you really believe such nonsense? Noah's descendants are here, and they're just here to explore? "
"Yes, I do. Because I can tell that they're not lying. As for Noah's descendants, they only joined the team at the last minute. There were no Noah's descendants in the original team. "
"Also, he has a special ability … I haven't discovered it yet, but his illusions are very interesting and unique."
The Wise Sovereign was confused. Adanis was just as confused as he was.
According to their agreement, the Wise Sovereign wouldn't lie to her about such things. This meant that the Wise Sovereign was telling the truth.
Even though the Wise Overseer was rambling on and on, he didn't try to blur the main point of Angor's explanation.
So Angor really came here to explore?
But if he didn't, why did Olaf pay so much attention to him?
Also, that woman, Laplace, couldn't see Angor's Heart Reflection, which was strange.
This meant that Angor couldn't be a wizard without a story.
Did he lie to the Wise Sovereign? Or did Olaf see something hidden in Angor?
While Adanis was pondering, the Wise Sovereign's mind was focused on a certain emblem.
The emblem was decorated with strange patterns that looked a bit like a real name. The main body of the emblem was a circular image with a man and a woman on each side.
This was the mark of the Mirror Demon.
The woman on the emblem was Adanis, while the man in the hat was another one of the Wise Sovereigns.
The Wise Sovereign knew about this man, but in the Wise Sovereign's ten thousand years of memories, he couldn't count the number of times this man showed up.
The last time he talked to the Wise Sovereign was ten thousand years ago.
Adanis was the only one who kept in touch with the Wise Sovereign.
She seemed to have gone into hiding.
However, the Sovereign of Wisdom knew very well that he was the one who had been left behind by Augustine. He was the most orthodox guide.
Adanis was born later. She hadn't even seen Augustine and Marguerite in person.
However, even though Adanis was born later, she was blessed by the heavens and possessed even more power than that person. The Wise Sovereign even guessed that Adanis was already free to leave the Wise Sovereign's place.
This meant that she was now an independent individual who no longer needed to stay in the underground sewer.
However, she didn't leave. Instead, she stayed in the Wise Sovereign's place.
The Wise Sovereign didn't know why, but he guessed that it had something to do with "him".
So, could it be that this "him" also had something to do with her attention to Angor?
