The energy ripples from the Book of Truth were as stable as ever. The word "No" didn't disappear. This meant Angor was telling the truth again.
He never met the man in the emblem, nor did he have any contact with him.
Dark Earl and the others were surprised. They did believe that Angor had "someone" backing him up. But now, it seemed that they were wrong about Angor after all.
As for the Sovereign of Wisdom, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Frowning, he once more fell into deep thought.
Did he get it wrong again? Did Angor really not know Olao?
Where did Angor get so much information? And why did Adanis pay so much attention to Angor?
The Wise Overseer couldn't figure it out. Angor, on the other hand, was staring at the word "No" on the Book of Truth with a blank expression.
Everyone thought Angor was annoyed. The Wise Overseer's sudden question was obviously aimed at him.
As a matter of fact, Angor already knew this would happen. The reason why he was still staring at the word "No" was because his answer this time was not completely from his heart.
The Wise Sovereign's question was, "Have you seen or interacted with the male in the emblem?"
The key was "seen" and "contacted". If it was only the former, he could give a straight "no" because he had never seen the man in the emblem before.
But if it was the latter, it was a bit hard to say. "Interacted" was a broad and vague word. For example, if you talked to someone, even if you only said one sentence, it was still considered "contact".
Also, "contact" could be explained as "meeting", which meant that even if it was one-sided contact, it was still "contact". In other words, even if you didn't talk to the man, it was still "contact".
Angor was sure that the Wise Overseer used this word on purpose to expand the scope of the question.
Did Angor ever talk to the man in the emblem?
The answer was yes.
That was the answer Angor had in mind. He believed that the man who possessed the unicorn whale was the man in the emblem.
The most important proof was the words the man said before he left.
"Please come to the ruins … I've been waiting for you for too long."
The meaning of this sentence was simple and straightforward. There was no need to explain. In other words, the man who spoke to Angor was actually in the ruins.
And according to the words of the Wise Sovereign, it could be inferred that there were no outsiders in the ruins, only Adanis and … the male in the Mirror Demon God's emblem.
Angor talked to a man in the ruins during the duel, and the only one in the ruins was the man in the emblem.
There was no doubt that he had met the man before.
But there was another problem. Everything he said was just his own speculation. The so-called speculation was just to cover the "unknown" with a layer of self-righteousness.
In the end, skin was only skin. What was important was the true body beneath the skin … In other words, the truth.
Angor did not know the truth.
Even if his speculation was 99% correct, there was still a slight possibility that it was wrong. After all, he never saw the man talking to him, and the man did not tell him that he was the man in the emblem.
From this point of view, Angor could easily assume that he had never met this person before.
He talked to an unknown man, and he could not be sure who this man was.
In other words, it all depended on Angor's personal opinion.
Angor preferred the former. He believed that he should answer the Wise Sovereign's question with "Yes" instead of "No".
There was a 99% chance that he was the man in the emblem. As a rational person, Angor could not ignore such a high probability. Instead, he focused on the almost zero probability.
But —
Angor still wrote down "No" without hesitation. He did this because he wanted to see how the Book of Truth would react.
Under normal circumstances, the Book of Truth would definitely have a strong reaction to the answer.
However, the book did not react at all, as if it believed that "No" was the correct answer.
Angor was puzzled by this.
In his opinion, there were only two possibilities why the Book of Truth did not react. First, as he thought, even if he was 99% right, a guess was still a guess, not the truth. Besides, the Book of Truth's judgment was based on "absolute" truth, not free proof.
The second possibility was that it had something to do with the Nightmare Realm.
The energy Angor injected into the Book of Truth came from the green rune on his right hand. Strictly speaking, this energy, or aura, did not come from Angor's own cultivation.
Therefore, it was possible that the one who signed the Book of Truth was not Angor, but the real owner of the right hand, the Nightmare Realm.
If that was the case, it made sense that the Book of Truth did not react. After all, the "Nightmare Realm" did not talk to the man in the emblem of the Mirror Demon.
Angor could not tell which of these two possibilities was true. Unless the Wise Sovereign asked him a specific question, which he could answer with a lie. If the Book of Truth still did not react, he could be sure that it had something to do with the "Nightmare Realm". If the Book of Truth did react, it would be the same.
Of course, Angor was not going to ask the Wise Sovereign for a test. He could only wait and see if the Wise Sovereign had any other questions.
The Wise Sovereign did not think for too long this time. It was not that he understood quickly, but that he simply could not figure it out. Since he could not figure it out, he decided to put it aside for the time being.
When they first signed the Book of Truth, the Wise Sovereign made it clear that he would not look into Angor's secrets. Since he did not find anything this time, he might as well give up.
After giving up, the Wise Sovereign felt a lot more relaxed.
Angor was not even a fraction of his age, but for some reason, he always felt like he was facing a complicated formula when talking to Angor. He thought he had figured it out, solved it, and figured it out, only to be slapped in the face in the next second. His train of thought was wrong from beginning to end. Then he had to change his mind again, and when he came up with an answer, the Book of Truth would slap him in the face again. This made the Wise Sovereign very uncomfortable.
For the first time in many years, the Wise Sovereign, who was known for his wisdom, felt troubled because he could not figure out the answer.
Choosing to give up actually gave him a sense of relief.
The Wise Sovereign gave Angor a thoughtful look and decided not to think about it anymore. He then turned to Black Earl. "That's all for now."
"Now it's your turn to explain," Black Earl said.
The Wise Sovereign chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll explain why I brought this up. I'll also keep my promise and tell you about the ruins."
The Wise Sovereign paused for a moment. "The first question I'll ask you is about the Clear Sky Poetry Room. I'm a little surprised that a descendant of Noah doesn't know this name.
"Because the Clear Sky Poetry Room was built by an ancestor of your Noah Clan, Augustine. It might be a little far-fetched to say that it belongs to your Noah Clan, but it's not wrong to say that it's your ancestral home. "
Black Earl seemed to have thought of something. "Is the Clear Sky Poetry Room —"
The Wise Sovereign nodded. "Correct. The Clear Sky Poetry Room is the ruins you keep talking about."
Next, the Wise Sovereign began to tell the story of the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
"Let's start from when Augustine and Margret, the daughter of the warden of the Stairs of Hanging Prison …"
Back then, Augustine and Margret met each other and became friends because of love poems. However, the Noah Clan was too weak back then. Even though Augustine was a genius, Warden Franklin still didn't want his daughter to get in touch with Augustine.
Another point was that Augustine was indeed a genius, but Margaret was also a genius. In fact, her brilliance wasn't any less than Augustine's.
Augustine couldn't find any other way to please someone as dazzling as Margret. He could only use love poems to express his sincerity. This showed how difficult it was for him to do anything in front of Margret.
However, Warden Franklin's interference didn't stop Augustine and Margret from loving each other.
They began to secretly meet and pass notes and love poems to each other.
At that time, Margret was the middleman who helped them pass notes and love poems. At that time, Margret and Margret were best friends.
But later on, Margret had some problems and chose to fuse with the box. Since then, the matter of the love poems had been put on hold.
However, this didn't hinder the development of the young couple.
Margret used her talent to attract the Wise Sovereign. In order to communicate with Margret, the Wise Sovereign even lived near the Stairs of Hanging Prison.
After all, Warden Franklin was one of the rulers of Nether City at that time, and the Wise Sovereign was also a ruler.
They were of the same rank, so logically speaking, they shouldn't have been arranged to live so close to each other. But because of Margret's astonishing talent, the Wise Sovereign broke the rules and chose to live near the Stairs of Hanging Prison. He built a residence there, and this residence was the Wise Sovereign's Hall.
"Margret was truly very talented, especially in the field of alchemy and magic patterns. She could be said to be the strongest person in Nether City at that time. Margret's suggestions were used for most of the magic arrays in the underground sewers. "
"She was unparalleled at that time." The Wise Sovereign sighed emotionally. "To be honest, I didn't expect that such a proud daughter of heaven would take a fancy to Augustine. What I didn't expect even more was that Margret's final reason for communicating with me was because of that stinking little … cough, cough, I mean Augustine. "
After all, the Black Earl, a descendant of Noah, was present. The Wise Sovereign didn't want to slander his ancestor in front of him, so he could only change his words.
After the Wise Sovereign's Hall was built, Margret often came here in the name of communicating. Warden Franklin had no excuse to stop her. After all, the Wise Sovereign's status was extraordinary.
But was Margret really here to communicate with him?
A small part of it was, but most of it was to meet with Augustine.
In fact, in order to meet, Augustine and Margret had secretly built a private meeting place.
And this private meeting place was the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
Building a secret base in the underground sewers was very difficult to hide from the Warden, but they had still succeeded, thanks to the Wise Sovereign's help.
The Wise Sovereign had turned the nearby area into his own territory, and the Warden couldn't pry into it. This gave the young couple a safe environment to build in.
It could be said that the Wise Sovereign was Sisya's successor. Under his protection, the young couple had a place to meet.
As for why the Wise Sovereign was willing to help Margret and Augustine build this Clear Sky Poetry Room, it was all because of Margret's words.
"I can open up a safe place in the underground sewers that won't be affected by the magic array and won't be discovered by any Sovereigns. Wise Sovereign, do you want to see it? But if you want to see it, you have to help me hide it from my father. Otherwise, he won't agree. "
The Wise Sovereign, who was obsessed with alchemy at the time, nodded without hesitation. In the end, he got on Margret's pirate ship and became an accomplice in the construction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
In the end, the Clear Sky Poetry Room was built. As the protector, the Wise Sovereign had only entered it a few times.
Most of the time, it was still the place where Margret and Augustine met.
Ever since the events of Hell, the Clear Sky Poetry Room had been sealed, and the Wise Sovereign had no chance to enter. Ten thousand years had passed, and the Wise Sovereign actually didn't know how the Clear Sky Poetry Room had changed.
"As for the Clear Sky Poetry Room from back then, I remember the layout of the room, but that's only on the surface. Augustine might have built a secret room inside, but I don't know about these places."
After saying this, the Wise Sovereign pointed at the Book of Truth.
At the same time, the layout of the Clear Sky Poetry Room appeared on the pages in front of everyone.
The Black Count looked around, but didn't find anything special about the Clear Sky Poetry Room. It was like an ordinary building, with a large hall, a poetry room, a study, a kitchen, and a poetry room.
"There doesn't seem to be a bedroom?" Dorcas muttered.
The Wise Sovereign glanced at Dorcas, "There is indeed no bedroom. This is also why I feel that Augustine might have built a secret room."
"But then again, even if there was a bedroom, Augustine and Margret might not have taken me to see it."
As for the reason … they all knew.
Apart from the bedroom, the others didn't find anything wrong with the Clear Sky Poetry Room. Angor was the only one who was puzzled by the layout of the room.
