The Wise Ruler coughed twice, pulling everyone back from their thoughts, and continued to answer Wa Yi's question, "Also, the matter you mentioned about those demon god believers, they … should still be around."
The Wise Overseer's expression turned serious.
"Now that Adanis has tasted the sweetness of pretending to be a demon god, do you think she'll stop now?" The Wise Overseer didn't give them a chance to answer. "No, she won't. Most of the demon believers are dead, but as Adanis grows stronger, she has already broken through the shackles of the underground sewers. Through the mirror domain, she can now connect to the outside world.
"As long as there's a mirror in the outside world, she can keep pretending to be a demon god to deceive, instigate, and train more believers.
"Even if the first batch of demon believers doesn't trust Adanis so much because their memories were erased by the Empty Mirror Sea, they still won't trust Adanis. However, after years of subtle influence and brainwashing, there will always be devout believers. "
"Where are they? I don't know. "
"What does Adanis want to do with them? I can guess a little, but I'm not sure. "
"I'll need you to give me the real answer," the Wise Overseer said.
The Wise Overseer couldn't ask Adanis, and Adanis might not give him an answer. Therefore, Angor's group became the Wise Overseer's only hope.
Currently, Angor's group was not on the same side as Adanis. As long as they remained enemies, Adanis would summon her followers to stop them even without asking.
This was why the Wise Overseer said he would need them to give him an answer.
After listening to the Wise Overseer's answer, everyone had to reevaluate Vaiti's question. Before, they didn't think it was important since it happened ten thousand years ago. But since the Wise Overseer clearly said that Adanis was still trying to build up her own forces, Vaiti's question was no longer useless. They needed to pay more attention to it.
Still, they didn't need to worry too much about it.
If Adanis continued to pretend to be a demon god to deceive her believers, they could report this to the Supreme Cult. Based on the Supreme Cult's style, as long as the so-called Demon God's believers showed even the slightest trace, they would definitely launch a full-scale attack at lightning speed until they could no longer turn the tide.
"Do you still have questions …" The Wise Ruler suddenly paused. "If you want to ask questions, you might have to stop for a moment. The person I spoke of who knows the inside story of the Clear Sky Poetry Room has already arrived."
After the Wise Sovereign finished speaking, he patted his clothes and sat up straight. His lazy expression also turned serious.
When the Wise Ruler was' refreshed ', a young and immature voice rang out in the room.
"Lord Ruler, Lord Ruler, I'm here!"
He called out 'Lord Ruler' twice in a row. The first time he called out, it felt like the voice was still far away, but the second time he called out, it felt like the voice was very close to them.
Even though there was no other information in this voice, everyone could hear a hint of coquettishness in it.
It was like the attachment of a junior to an elder.
"What's the fuss about? How many times have I told you not to rashly barge in? You have to learn how to knock on the door before entering. Also, learn how to speak like your two brothers. Don't be so flustered all the time. "
When the Wise Ruler said this, he had a stern face and put on airs. It was completely different from his lazy and listless appearance from before.
It could be seen that when facing this intruder, the Wise Ruler was playing the role of an elder, or even a strict father.
However, the intruder didn't take the Wise Ruler's words seriously at all. He continued to make a ruckus. "Why are they here? Lord Ruler, Lord Ruler, they are the group of outsiders I mentioned before. They are not outsiders from the Traveling Merchant Organization! "
The Wise Ruler: "… I know. You don't have to repeat yourself."
"But …"
"No buts. Shut up first. I'll explain to you later. Or, you can ask your second brother or eldest brother later. "The Wise Ruler put on a stern expression, and the intruder shut up.
Everyone was watching this scene. They didn't talk about the contents of their conversation for now, but they could guess the identity and appearance of the intruder.
In a sealed room, the intruder didn't knock on the door and directly entered. Moreover, although he spoke, he didn't reveal his appearance.
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice with confusion.
The place where the voice had last appeared was actually very close to them. It could be said that it was very close.
Because it was on the table in front of them.
The place where the food had been placed on the table had completely disappeared, along with the plates. All that was left was a lonely cup.
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the cup, and the water inside was also full. But if one looked carefully, they would discover that something was wrong. The cup was originally about half a foot tall, and one could see the bottom of the cup with a single glance. But now, the depths of the cup were pitch-black, as if it had become a bottomless abyss.
And the place where the voice had disappeared was precisely this cup.
"This smell … is from the One-Eyed Clan," the Black Count said softly.
The intruder was from the One-Eyed Clan? Everyone thought for a moment and immediately guessed the intruder's identity.
The One-Eyed Clan only had Dabao, Er Bao, and Xiaobao. If they had to count, they could count Youthful Slave as well. They had already met Dabao, Er Bao, and Youthful Slave. So this time, the intruder must be One-Eyed Xiaobao, the only one they hadn't really met yet.
As the Black Earl's voice fell, a face appeared on the rippling surface of the cup.
The face wasn't realistic. A large eye took up half of the space, while the rest of the face was made up of a small mouth, ears, and nose. Especially the nose, which was so small that it only had a small black hole.
It looked a bit like Tong Hua.
It wasn't scary at all. In fact, it was kind of cute.
"Oi oi, outsiders. Speak your purpose, or I'll have my big brother eat you!"
Since One-Eyed Xiaobao was defeated by the Wise Lord, it decided to target Angor's group directly. However, it chose the wrong target. Its single eye slanted, and the target it was staring at was … the Black Earl.
Before One-Eyed Xiaobao could say anything, the Black Count had already classified it as a naughty child. The Black Count didn't even bother to look at the naughty child's arrogant question.
The Black Count didn't answer, but Dorcas was very interested in One-Eyed Xiaobao.
"You're One-Eyed Xiaobao?" Dorcas moved to the table with a smile and asked.
One-Eyed Xiaobao looked at Dorcas cautiously and didn't answer. Instead, it asked, "Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter to you, right?" Dorcas asked.
One-Eyed Xiaobao thought about it. This human was right. These people weren't important to it at all, so why should it care about them? Instead of caring about them, it was better to think about how to complain when his mother came back and let her understand his firm will.
With this in mind, the awe-inspiring manner of questioning the Black Count instantly disappeared. The rippling surface of the water also returned to normal.
Everyone was speechless at this scene. As expected, this was just a child, changing his attitude at the drop of a hat.
Dorcas was still smiling. "But we aren't important. You are. You agree, right? "
One-Eyed Xiaobao snorted and said proudly, "Of course."
"So, you should loudly announce your name to everyone here."
One-Eyed Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
"Are you One-Eyed Xiaobao?"
One-Eyed Xiaobao shouted this time, "Yes, One-Eyed Xiaobao is me!"
"Are you Netherslave's favorite One-Eyed Xiaobao?"
One-Eyed Xiaobao's voice became even louder. "Of course, Mother loves me the most!"
"Are you the One-Eyed Xiaobao who gave the Wise Ruler the pen name Blue Fatty?"
One-Eyed Xiaobao didn't doubt him and continued to shout, "Yes! I am the One-Eyed Blue Fatty who gave the Lord Ruler the pen name … "
Halfway through, One-Eyed Xiaobao suddenly realized something and its voice became softer and softer until it completely disappeared.
When One-Eyed Xiaobao's voice disappeared, the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant. The surroundings were so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's breathing.
One-Eyed Xiaobao stealthily glanced in the direction of the Wise Ruler.
Seeing the Wise Ruler coldly staring at it, One-Eyed Xiaobao couldn't help but say, "Lord … Lord Ruler … it wasn't me, it was …"
One-Eyed Xiaobao's nostrils flared, as if it had been wronged.
The Wise Ruler said, "Shut up. I'll deal with you later. Also, you're not allowed to cry or run. You can only leave when I tell you to. "
After saying this, the Wise Ruler raised his head and looked at Dorcas.
Without question, Dorcas had purposely mentioned this matter.
Previously, Dorcas had felt that the Wise Ruler cared a lot about his pen name and had explained it to them, intentionally or otherwise. Now that Dorcas had once again opened up this scar, the Wise Ruler was naturally somewhat annoyed.
However, Dorcas still had a calm expression on his face. Faced with the Wise Ruler's cold expression, he only used an exaggerated tone to 'mumble to himself', "So the Lord Ruler's pen name really was given by One-Eyed Xiaobao!"
When the Wise Ruler heard Dorcas's words, he had only been a bit annoyed at first, but now, it had turned into anger.
The Wise Ruler had 'inadvertently' explained this many times before, but hadn't he just wanted to tell them that the pen name 'Blue Fatty' wasn't given by him, but rather by One-Eyed Xiaobao?
However, the Wise Ruler knew that words alone were useless, and so he could only pretend that he didn't care.
Now, Dorcas's words could be seen as vindicating the Wise Ruler's name from a different perspective. Only … why was it that the Wise Ruler didn't feel happy, but instead felt even angrier?
The reason lay in Dorcas's attitude.
Dorcas clearly believed what the Wise Sovereign had said, but he still had to rub it in and purposefully bring it up in front of Xiaobao.
He called it vindicating, but in reality, he had intentionally brought it up.
The Wise Ruler couldn't get angry, because although Dorcas's motives were obvious, the result was that he had vindicated his name. He could only suppress his anger.
In addition, the Wise Ruler had been acting as if he didn't care at all. If he showed that he cared now, wouldn't he be exposed?
The Wise Ruler closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh. When he opened them again, he had already regained his calm, as if the previous episode hadn't happened at all.
"One-Eyed Xiaobao is very doted on by Hidden Slave. As a result, Hidden Slave has never avoided any questions he raises." The Wise Ruler said calmly, "As for Hidden Slave, as I said before, he is favored by the Goddess and often visits her through the mirror. Although his main body has never entered the Clear Sky Poetry Room, he has seen the situation inside through the mirror. "
"In the past, Xiaobao asked Hidden Slave about the Clear Sky Poetry Room out of curiosity. Hidden Slave didn't hide anything and told him everything. Thus, if you have any questions, you can ask him. "
The Dark Count said, "Then why not ask you directly?"
The Wise Ruler said, "I have an agreement with her that I won't ask about the Clear Sky Poetry Room, not even from Xiaobao. Thus, I don't know what Xiaobao learned from Hidden Slave. "
The Wise Ruler paused for a moment and continued, "So, when you ask Xiaobao, I will avoid it as well. When the questioning is over, I won't ask you about what Xiaobao told you. Of course, if you have any questions, don't ask me. "
The Wise Ruler had an agreement with Adanis, but Angor and the others weren't. Thus, they could ask Xiaobao, but the Wise Ruler couldn't.
This was why the Sovereign of Wisdom had specially invited Xiaobao over.
The Wise Ruler looked at Xiaobao again and said, "Later, these people will ask you questions about the Clear Sky Poetry Room. I hope you can answer them honestly. If they ask anything beyond the Clear Sky Poetry Room, you can ask Er Bao. If Er Bao agrees, you can also answer them. "
"Er Bao?" Everyone heard the Wise Ruler's words and wondered, "One-Eyed Er Bao is here too?"
The Wise Ruler shook his head. "Er Bao isn't here. However, Xiaobao has his own way of contacting Er Bao. "
This was one of Xiaobao's special abilities.
It could contact Big Bao and Er Bao in real time. Because of this ability, Xiaobao loved to harass his two older brothers.
Big Bao loved Xiaobao very much. Basically, he spoiled him. Whenever Xiaobao tried to contact him, he would always get a reply. Xiaobao also liked to stick with Big Bao. When Angor and the others first saw the dog hole on the wall, it was actually formed by Big Bao and Xiaobao, not just Big Bao.
Two-Eyed Er Bao loved Xiaobao as well, but it was more like the love of a strict father. Two-Eyed Er Bao didn't fall for this at all. The most it did to Xiaobao was to educate him again and again.
Faced with Xiaobao's harassment, Two-Eyed Er Bao would also choose to respond rationally.
Because of this, Xiaobao often went to Hidden Slave to complain about Two-Eyed Er Bao. There was only one reason for it: Er Bao ignored it, Er Bao scolded it, Er Bao didn't want to play with it, and so on.
Before the Wise Ruler brought Xiaobao into the hall, Xiaobao was still complaining.
