Angor did not have the right to represent Brute Cavern and work with the Wise Lord. Even if he did, he would be careful. Nether City, the Nether Incident, and the experiments done by Nether Snake all pointed to the fact that there was more to this place than meets the eye.
Brute Cavern had to face threats from both the Evernight City and the Land of Sinners, as well as deal with the arrival of Mahogany Theater … Even Mister Rein would reject the Wise Lord's offer.
Nether City had secrets and benefits. However, it had been ten thousand years since Nether City rose again. Whatever benefits it had, they were nothing more than remnants of its former glory.
Brute Cavern, on the other hand, was in danger, but there were also benefits that could be seen. Angor already knew what to do.
If the Wise Lord could not work with him, the Wise Lord would probably ask Dark Earl for help. However, Angor did not expect Dark Earl to agree.
Did Dark Earl not see how dangerous Nether City was?
Or did Dark Earl still care about their relationship from ten thousand years ago?
Angor looked at Dark Earl in confusion. Dark Earl seemed to know what Angor wanted to ask. "He gave me an offer I couldn't refuse."
What did he mean by an offer he couldn't refuse?
Everyone thought for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what the Wise Sovereign had offered that made the Black Earl unable to refuse. Count Dark didn't plan to tell Angor about his condition. "It has nothing to do with the Chamber of Solitude or this operation."
Dark Earl meant that Angor did not need to worry about it. He did not intend to make any secret deal with the Wise Lord, and it would not affect their exploration.
However, Angor did not care about the secret deal. He only wanted to know why Dark Earl chose to work with the Wise Lord.
Unfortunately, Dark Earl did not seem to want to tell them.
Dark Earl's sudden words caught everyone's attention. But when he suddenly shut up, everyone was curious but did not want to ask further. As a result, the air was once again filled with a tacit silence.
But soon, someone broke the silence.
But this time, the one who broke the silence was not Dorcas, but … the Dark Earl.
"I think I smell something strange," Dark Earl spoke in a hesitant tone.
Something strange? Hearing the Black Earl's words, everyone took deep breaths, but no one smelled anything.
Dorcas even used the Sandworm Scent Seeking Technique, but he couldn't smell anything.
The Sandworm Scent Seeking Technique was actually similar to the Pig's Nose Technique and the Dog's Nose Technique. Its main purpose was to achieve a sharp sense of smell by transplanting supernatural organs. Most of the sandworms' eyes were fake, and they relied on smell to find food. Therefore, transplanted sandworms' sense of smell was not inferior to the pig's nose or dog's nose, and might even be better.
He did know some cantrips, but he couldn't really use them. So, he summoned Speed and asked the spirit to sense the smell through the air.
However, Su Ling did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
No one smelled anything, but no one thought that the Black Earl was lying. It could only be said that the smell was very far away from them. Only the Black Earl's nose was too sensitive to smell it.
"Don't tell me you jinxed it, and there's actually a sewer up ahead?!" Vay turned to look at Dorcas.
Dorcas just said that he was lucky there was no smell, and the Black Earl said that he smelled something. What else could it be?
Before Dorcas could think of a way to refute, the Black Earl shook his head. "According to my classification of smells, this isn't a bad smell. To some witches, it can even be considered a fragrance. "
Smells were just like the taste of food. They varied from person to person. However, wizards had a very sensitive sense of smell. Generally speaking, something that mortals found fragrant might not be perceived by wizards.
Besides, fragrances often came from dirty or strange things, which made wizards more sensitive to smells.
Generally speaking, the fragrances that wizards considered fragrances were created by alchemists. All the impurities were removed, leaving behind a unique aroma mixed with pheromone.
The Black Earl's sense of smell was definitely sharper than that of ordinary witches. Even he believed that this was a fragrance.
Then, the possibility of this happening was very small.
"That woman didn't come herself, did she?" Dorcas lowered his voice.
Without a doubt, the woman Dorcas spoke of was Adanis. According to the Wise Lord, the Wise Lord began to study fragrances in recent years. For example, that beautiful Witch's Eye, Test Subject 6163, was one of the subjects he used to experiment on.
The Wise Lord researched fragrances for two reasons. First, it was a supplement to Alchemy, and second, it was something Adanis needed.
Since some time ago, Adanis had developed a passion for fragrances, which was why the Wise Lord provided her with all kinds of fragrances.
Therefore, when Dorcas heard that it was a fragrance that the Black Earl had approved, he immediately thought of Perfume, and Perfume naturally corresponded to Adanis.
"I don't think so," Angor hesitated.
According to what he learned from the Wise Lord, Adanis had a clear weakness in the real world. If Adanis really wanted to deal with them, she wouldn't come to the real world.
The Wise Lord told Angor that Adanis was most likely setting up a trap to lure them into the mirror world without them noticing.
This might be troublesome for other people, but for someone like Angor who knew the difference between the mirror world and the real world, he wouldn't fall into such a trap.
But now, Dorcas assumed that Adanis would come to deal with them herself. Angor didn't think it was likely. But the Dark Earl's scent couldn't be faked, which made Angor hesitate a little.
"It's different from all the fragrances I've smelled before." Dark Earl considered for a moment. "Let's keep moving. It won't take long for you to smell it."
However, Dark Earl still overestimated everyone's sense of smell. Or rather, he underestimated how strong his own sense of smell was.
They walked for another five minutes, but they still couldn't smell anything. On the other hand, the Black Earl's frown grew tighter and tighter. To him, the smell was already extremely clear.
But the clearer the smell, the more confused Dark Earl became.
As a clone of his nose, he could identify all kinds of scents. Almost all the scents he came in contact with could be recorded in his "smell library".
In the Black Earl's scent database, there were very few fragrances that he could identify. Most of them were fragrances created by Magi. The other scents were either strange or stinky.
But this time, his sense of smell told him that it was a fragrance. But it was different from ordinary fragrances.
It was more like a natural scent.
It wasn't as if the Black Earl didn't have any natural scents. Some extraordinary plants would emit pure and clean scents, and these scents were fragrant even to the Black Earl.
"Is there some kind of supernatural plant nearby? Or some kind of special incense mine? "
While Dark Earl pondered, the others began chatting through their Spirit Bond.
They weren't talking about the smell. Instead, they were trying to guess what kind of otherworldly monster they were going to run into.
Angor told them two pieces of information. The first was that "her" real name was Adanis, and the second was that they would run into powerful otherworldly monsters on their way to the ruins after leaving the Hall of Wise Men.
Back then, Angor claimed that he didn't know whether the two pieces of information were true or not, so he wanted to find out more.
Now that the first piece of information was confirmed by the Wise Man, the second piece of information was likely to be true as well.
"Otherworldly creatures? Speaking of which, the ones who invaded the southern wizardry region the most in recent years are the barbarians from the Barbarian World. According to the information, it's a 'powerful' otherworldly creature. Could it be a fanatic of a barbarian god? Or a barbarian priest? "
Dorcas shook his head. "Thanks to the Floating City, there have been fewer barbarians invading the southern wizardry region recently. Also, the Supreme Cult can easily detect powerful barbarians entering the southern wizardry region, unless they set up a complicated ritual here. "
"A ritual that can hide the presence of powerful barbarians would cost a lot. Would Adanis be willing to pay such a price? Not necessarily. Unless they used a sacrificial ritual. But a sacrificial ritual requires a lot of people to die. There's a traveling merchant organization watching over the area. They'll definitely notice if a large number of people die. "
"So, it can't be from the Barbarian World. Personally, I think such an otherworldly creature must have the following characteristics. "
"It must have a way to enter the southern wizardry region, which means it must have the ability to travel through space or something related to space. Also, a pure energy creature won't attract too much attention from the world's consciousness. "
"It must have a certain level of intelligence. Otherwise, it won't listen to the summoner at all."
"Also, it must have a purpose for entering the southern wizardry region."
"That's about it. I guessed the last one, but the first two shouldn't be wrong."
Although Dorcas refuted Wa Yi's guess, Wa Yi thought about it carefully and felt that Dorcas's words were not without reason, so he didn't argue with Dorcas like he usually did. Instead, he asked, "What kind of otherworld creature do you think it is?"
Angor also looked at Dorcas curiously.
Angor already knew what kind of monster it was. It was a "Baby Spirit". As far as Angor could remember, a "baby spirit" was a low-level undead creature. But since the "baby spirit" was a powerful one from another world, it meant that the "baby spirit" might have some special abilities. Or maybe, the "baby spirit" was just a disguise.
From Angor's point of view, Dorcas probably couldn't guess that it was a "Baby Spirit".
But Dorcas had a strong sense of perception. He might be able to guess where the Baby Spirit came from.
Angor didn't know where the Baby Spirit came from. If Dorcas could give them a general idea, they might be able to gain some advantages against the Baby Spirit.
Dorcas rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. "As far as I know, there are quite a few monsters that fit the first two conditions. But those with a large number of powerful creatures either have energy levels similar to the southern wizardry region, or higher.
"The monsters from the Abyss are the first to bear the brunt. There are many kinds of monsters in the Abyss. Many of them can travel through the void. Some demons can even use a small support point to directly arrive at the southern wizardry region. "
Dorcas's first guess was also in line with Angor's idea. There were too many kinds of monsters in the Abyss. It wasn't uncommon for some powerful monsters to die at birth and give birth to strange Baby Spirits.
Besides, some demons could also come to the southern wizardry region by paying a small price. For example, a demon god could track the location of a follower and give the coordinates to his demon subordinates, which would then allow him to travel through the void and arrive at the southern wizardry region.
There were also sacrificial rituals that could allow demons to come to the southern wizardry region. For example, Azaz, who was now training under Greya, had a demon behind him called Sebastian Milolis. No. Ever since Azaz and Azaz exchanged their names, Azaz was now called Sebastian Basil, while Azaz's name was changed to Milolis.
Anyway, Angor thought that the Baby Spirit from the Abyss was reasonable.
Wail nodded as well. "There must be a reason why Adanis changed her name to 'Mirror Lord', right? The name 'Mirror Lord' immediately reminds people of the Abyss. It's possible that she's a guest from the Abyss. "
It was rare for Dorcas to agree with Wail. He looked proud as he said, "Apart from the Abyss, Loft World is also a possibility. There are many minions of evil gods in Loft World who can survive in the void for a long time. Besides, the energy level of Loft World is higher than the southern wizardry region, and there are many powerful monsters there.
"The only problem is that the powerful creatures in Loft World are all crazy. Even if they have intelligence, they won't listen to anyone's orders.
There are also Psychics from Haunt World, Evil Flame from Chenchi World, Fish Shoals from the Abyss Plane … "
Dorcas mentioned four more worlds in a row. Loft World had a higher energy level than the southern wizardry region, perhaps even comparable to the energy level of an origin world. Therefore, Loft World was singled out.
As for the other worlds, there were quite a few Psychics from the Haunt World lurking in the southern region. Some of them were working with some wizard organizations, so it wasn't strange at all. Evil Flame from Chenchi World was violent and violent, but as an energy creature, the world's consciousness treated it more kindly. The same went for the "fish shoals" from the Abyss Plane. Fish shoals sounded like material creatures, but they were actually water elemental creatures.
Generally speaking, all of these fit Dorcas' requirements.
"But I'm only talking about ordinary worlds. There are also some special ones, such as Cazider World … "
Cazider World was also the Spirit Plane, which made sense to Angor. Baby Spirits were undead creatures. And where were the most undead creatures? Cazider World!
It was easy for undead creatures to enter Cazider World, but it was difficult for them to leave. But this was not something Angor needed to worry about.
"That's about it." Dorcas had other answers in his mind, such as the Panic World. But it was too far away. So he did not mention any of these worlds.
Everyone followed Dorcas's train of thought. Could it really be one of these worlds?
Suddenly, Dark Earl's voice came through the Spirit Bond, "Did you forget? There's also the Mirror Realm."
