Everyone was ready to evacuate, and Dorcas was ready to activate the plane passageway at any time.
After making sure everything was fine through the Spirit Bond, Angor killed the last batch of corpsefish and quickly retreated. While running, he took out an external array disk from his bracelet.
Before leaving, he already found the location of a node in the magic array that could greatly affect the stability of space.
Without hesitation, he tossed the disk toward the node.
The square disk drew a parabola in the air and attracted everyone's attention.
Including the corpsefish in the air.
The corpsefish seemed to be very interested in moving objects. The nearby schools of corpsefish all chased after the disk array. It looked like a comet streaking across the sky with a long, glowing tail behind it.
The corpsefish chased after the disk, but everyone trusted Angor's judgment. Since he dared to throw the disk, he was confident that it would not be intercepted.
Dorcas also kept an eye on the disk. Once the disk landed on the ground, the runes on it would light up, and he would activate the plane passageway.
As everyone's attention was drawn to the disk, a voice they had never heard before suddenly appeared in their ears.
"Hey, little mermaid, why are you still playing outside? Time to go home."
It was a pleasant male voice. It had the texture of a subwoofer, the laziness of a yuppie, and a little bit of doting.
It was a voice that many women would scream for.
However, Angor and the others were all men. They could not appreciate such a deliberate voice.
Yes, deliberate. How could a normal person speak in such a complicated way? Not only did the voice sound unreasonable, but it also contained a hint of doting.
Who could do that? Everyone could do it, but they had to lower their voices to speak, just like actors who were holding a script and acting in a play. So, if this was not deliberate, what was?
Everyone could tell that the voice was deliberately suppressed, but they had to admit that it was quite effective.
All the corpsefish in the area stopped moving as if time had stopped.
"Ah, O, O, O 'Rao, why, why have you come?" The one who spoke was the clownfish. Originally, the clownfish's voice was coquettish and enchanting. If one didn't look at its appearance, it would be like a peerless beauty gently opening her red lips. But at this moment, this' peerless beauty 'seemed to have a big tongue. When she spoke, she couldn't speak straight at all.
"Olaf? It's the man from the Mirror Demon God … "Wa Yi exclaimed through the Spirit Bond.
Previously, the Wise Sovereign had said that the man and woman within the Mirror Demon God were Oleo and Adanis. Ever since the Wise Sovereign had met Olao ten thousand years ago, there had been no news of him. The only person who had ever contacted him was Adanis.
Why would Olao appear now?!
"We know who Olaf is. You don't have to tell us. "Should we activate the plane passageway now?" Dorcas asked, "Should we activate the plane passageway now?"
Whether they should retreat or not was the most important question right now.
Angor glanced at the array plate on the ground. The runes engraved on it were already glowing. Angor could activate it with a single thought and cause the space nodes in this area to go out of control.
Should he activate it? Angor considered for a moment and decided not to do it right now.
It was the same voice that spoke to him in the arena. But it sounded natural back then. Now, it sounded a bit awkward. But Angor was sure that it was the same person.
If the person who came was really Olao, then according to the goodwill he had shown, perhaps they would be able to avoid this calamity.
Angor didn't want to activate the array plate right away, but he didn't let his guard down either.
"I don't know if he's friendly or not. But since we've stalled the corpsefish, we still have time. Let's observe for now and be ready to activate it, "Angor said.
The others didn't doubt his words. They didn't want to leave just like that, especially the two from Noah Clan. They were so close to the Moonlight Chamber left by their ancestors. It would be a shame if they just gave up like this. As for Kael, he didn't want to give up. He wanted to prove that he was different from the remnant souls, and he didn't want to stop here.
The only one who didn't mind was Dorcas. He already got what he wanted, so he didn't mind going to Moonlight Chamber or not.
But since Angor already made up his mind, Dorcas wouldn't object.
When they were about to observe further, Olaf's voice came again. "You're a little mermaid. How can you do such a thing in the real world? Just come back like a good girl."
Although Olao was condemning the clownfish, he kept calling the clownfish "little mermaid," which made the clownfish so embarrassed that it became dizzy. It stuttered even more. "B-but sir, that woman said that sir would be happy like this …"
"No, I won't," Olaf said, "Listen to me, little mermaid."
"That woman? Clown Fish? You mean me? " Adanis also joined the conversation. But just like Olaf, they couldn't tell where the real Clown Fish was.
"I'm not a clown fish! I'm a mermaid — no, I mean, a little mermaid. "
"Hmph! You wicked woman! You lied to me! You said Mister Olaf would be happy if I did this? I'll never believe you again!"
As the clownfish spoke, it began to quickly withdraw the corpsefish it had released.
"That man just provoked you. What? You're going to let him go? And he killed so many of your young fish. Aren't you going to punish him? "
Of course, the two men Adanis was talking about were Dorcas and Angor.
It was an obvious provocation, but it worked very well on Clown Fish. Clown Fish began to withdraw the corpsefish slowly, which meant it was hesitating.
"Little mermaid, I once told you that you need to be kind and tolerant in order to become an elegant mermaid princess. Of course, you also need to treat your enemies with extreme anger. But think about it. Did you become their enemy first, or did they become your enemy first? "
Oleo's voice was still clipped. The clownfish seemed to love clipped sounds. After hearing Oleo's words, it said without hesitation, "Yes, it's all my fault. I need to be tolerant. I can't do such unscrupulous things anymore. "
With that, Clown Fish suddenly shifted its target to Adanis. "But it's my fault for listening to your lies. You're the worst woman ever! "
"Little mermaid, I told you to be tolerant and kind. You can even let go of these humans. Why are you fussing over a small mistake made by an old friend? "Olaf spoke again, but this time, he was siding with Adanis.
Adanis didn't say anything.
Clown Fish said listlessly, "I … I know I'm wrong."
"You're a good mermaid if you know you're wrong. Go back and rest for a while," Olaf said gently.
Clown Fish made a "yes" sound in an especially "obedient" manner. Then, all the corpsefish waved their tails and disappeared into the mirrors on both sides of the path.
The cracks on the wall disappeared together with the corpsefish, which was the pattern of Clown Fish.
This meant that Clown Fish had left and returned to the Mirror Domain.
When everyone saw this scene, they heaved a sigh of relief. The clownfish didn't seem to be very strong, but their abilities were a little unfathomable to them. It was a good thing that it left.
However, they had some doubts in their hearts. Why would Olao appear and help them?
Did Olaf want them to keep going?
But if that was the case, Olaf also spoke on Adanis' side. Were they on the same side or against each other?
While everyone was still confused, Adanis finally spoke.
"You really did come." Edanis's first sentence confused everyone.
What did she mean by "so I came"? Was this a trap for Olaf? Did she want him to show up?
"You took them away. If I didn't come, they would have all been thrown into the Sea of Mirrors." Olaf finally stopped clipping his voice and returned to his normal tone. This was the same tone Angor was familiar with. Once again, he was sure that it was Olaf who spoke to him on the stage.
There were two important points in Olaf's words. "You took it all away." The "it" here was undoubtedly referring to the Clownfish. Judging from the words before and after, the Clownfish seemed to have a very important meaning, or rather, it was very powerful. Even Olario had to treat it seriously.
This could be seen from how Olaf tried to coax the Clown Fish with his clipped voice.
After that, Olao said that Adanis would throw them into the Sea of Empty Mirrors, which clearly showed Adanis' hostility towards them. At the same time, Olao also vaguely expressed his attitude: he did not seem to want to see them thrown into the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
"Tell me the reason, Olaf. Why did you stop me this time? "Adanis asked," Is it because of him? "
No one knew who the 'he' Adanis was referring to, because they didn't even know where Adanis was.
Olao: "I can't be sure right now. I need to wait for them to enter the Clear Sky Poetry Room before I can make a final decision. When they come in, I'll tell you the reason. "
Adanis snorted. "They won't come, and you won't see them. Even if you can stop the Clown Fish this time, are you sure you can stop the next Baby Spirit in your current state? "
Olaf was silent for a moment. "If they can come in, it'll be evidence for a certain thought in my heart. If they can't come in, then so be it … It's probably not time yet. "
Adanis snorted. "Hmph, let's wait and see."
Adanis' voice became softer and softer, and the walls of water on both sides were removed. It seemed that she had left.
The surroundings fell into a long silence.
At this time, the Black Earl said through the Spirit Bond, "I smell that smell again."
The Black Earl's words indirectly proved that Adanis had left. Previously, it was because Adanis had erected the mirror-like walls of water that blocked the spread of the fragrance. Now that she had removed the walls of water, the fragrance naturally drifted over again.
But … only the Black Earl could smell it. The others' sense of smell was still on standby.
Dorcas said, "They should have all left, right? Eh, I thought we would have to try our luck and force a retreat this time. I didn't expect the tables to turn so easily. "
Dorcas had just finished asking if they had all left when Olaf's voice sounded in their ears again.
"Let's go. The Baby Spirit holding the flower is your test, and also a test of my judgment this time. I hope you, especially you, don't disappoint me. "
"I've waited for too long, please come …"
Olaf's voice slowly faded away. Dorcas saw this and immediately shouted, "Hey hey, speak clearly, what's the Baby Spirit holding the flower?"
But Dorcas didn't call Olaf back. Only silence answered him.
Dorcas couldn't help but curse. "Do these two come and go as they please?"
Wa Yi: "… What else?"
Dorcas turned to look at Wa Yi. "We haven't even gone to the Clear Sky Poetry Room, and you're already speaking for the spirit left behind by your ancestor?"
Wa Yi: "No. I don't. I don't like that woman, and that man … I don't like him either. "
Dorcas was a little annoyed by the incomplete information he received. But Wa Yi's words piqued his curiosity. "I can understand why you don't like Adanis. But Olaf seemed friendly to you. Why don't you like him too? "
Wa Yi considered. "I don't know. It's just a feeling. Olaf looked friendly, but he gave me the feeling that he's being looked down on. "
"Really?" Dorcas muttered. "I don't feel anything."
"Maybe it's because you're not a Noah?" Angor chimed in.
Dorcas quickly changed the topic and came to Angor's side. He gave Angor a suspicious look. "Olaf said 'especially you'. Was he referring to you?"
Angor put on a serious face. "Yes, it was me."
"What?! Olaf was really talking about you?! You … What's your relationship with Olaf? Why does he care about you so much? "Dorcas stared at Angor in disbelief.
Angor ignored Dorcas and walked past him to pick up the array plate on the ground. When he was done, Angor stood up and looked back at Dorcas. "You really believed me?"
"Didn't you say so yourself?"
Angor spoke lazily. "You believe me just because I said so? Think about it. I'm not a Noah. Why would Olaf care about me? "
"It's really not you?" Dorcas was still doubtful.
"No, it's fake."
Dorcas was surprised. He looked up and saw Angor looking at him with a teasing look. That gaze made Dorcas feel like he was looking at the diners in his own bar who used words to flirt with the female bartender. But now, Dorcas was the waitress being flirted with, while Angor was the customer with a wicked smile.
While Dorcas was confused by Angor's words, Dark Earl saw everything clearly.
Angor was teasing Dorcas, but he only meant one thing: "It has nothing to do with me."
At first, Dark Earl also thought that Olaf was interested in Angor. After all, Olaf's "Especially you" was too obvious.
Besides, Dark Earl didn't think that he and Wai could attract Olaf's attention.
Wai was only an apprentice. Even if he came from the Noah Clan, there were still plenty of them who came here.
Dark Earl himself was only a clone of his nose. Even the Wise Overseer couldn't tell who he was. Even if Olaf did notice him, he would only think that he was a wizard who was close to becoming a truth-finder at best.
And such a wizard wouldn't attract Olaf's attention even if he came from the Noah Clan.
Apart from Wai and Wai, Dark Earl believed Angor was the most likely candidate.
Angor had too many secrets. Also, he seemed to have an inexplicable connection with this place. It made sense that Olaf would pay attention to Angor.
But now, Angor denied it.
Also, Dark Earl could tell that Angor wasn't guilty at all.
Most likely, Angor really believed that Olaf's words had nothing to do with him.
Then who did Olaf pay attention to?
There must be someone here who caught Olaf's attention. Otherwise, how could the old geezer who had been hiding for tens of thousands of years show up so easily and help them out?
Who could it be?
