Grand Hall of Wise Men.
The Wise Ruler was currently standing next to the magic array's core node, frowning as he looked at the node that was constantly flickering.
Not long ago, the Wise Ruler had sensed a large hole in the Magic Array's feedback.
The so-called void was a type of spatial property that was completely different from the current spatial property. It meant that the stable space was disrupted by another type of space energy, resulting in an uncontrollable area.
Under normal circumstances, if such a large hole appeared, the Magic Array would suffer a backlash, and it might even collapse. However, the magic array was still operating without any abnormalities. This meant that … the hole was recognized by the magic array.
The Wise Ruler knew very well that there was only one spatial hole in that area that would be recognized by the magic array: the Mirror Domain Tunnel.
Adanis controlled the magic array near the Clear Sky Poetry Room. With her knowledge of magic arrays, it was not difficult for her to make the magic array admit that the mirror domain had invaded the real world.
Judging from the size and speed of the hole, the Wise Man knew that Adanis had made her move.
The Wise Man couldn't see Angor's situation, but he could tell that Adanis was ruthless and precise.
Adanis had surrounded Angor's group from both sides.
The hole covered two areas, which meant that Angor's group was trapped in a path with no branching paths.
They couldn't move forward, nor could they retreat.
Seeing this, the Wise Sovereign let out a deep sigh. He was already prepared to take action.
He already considered his options and decided that Angor and Black Earl couldn't die here. Or rather, they couldn't die in front of his eyes.
With the background of these two people, it was very likely that they would bring even greater danger to the already shattered Nether City.
Thus, the Wise Sovereign chose to cooperate with them and decided to lend them a helping hand when they were in trouble.
However, the Wise Ruler didn't expect that the 'variable' he had his eyes on would be surrounded and annihilated by Adanis before even reaching the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
"Perhaps luck truly isn't on my side, nor is it on my side." After sighing to himself, the Sovereign of Wisdom prepared to find an opportunity to lend a helping hand.
The Wise Man wanted to save Angor's group, but he couldn't do it now. In order to let Angor and the others know how much he "saved" them, it was best to lend them a helping hand when they were at their most desperate.
Thus, the Wise Sovereign was still waiting. He was waiting for the two holes to close, waiting for them to have nowhere else to run to. Only then would he act.
However, what the Wise Sovereign hadn't expected was that before the two holes had even closed, the situation had changed.
He sensed an aura that he had not seen for a long time suddenly descending into the cave.
As he descended, the surrounding void began to slowly fade away. In less than two minutes, the empty area returned to normal.
Before the Wise Overlord could do anything, Angor's group was already out of danger.
The Wise God didn't care about Angor's condition. He didn't care as long as they were safe. What he cared about was that "that person" had actually descended! For the sake of Angor and his friends, the man who had not been seen for ten thousand years finally showed up!
"Ollao …" The Sovereign of Wisdom softly called out his name.
Ollao's appearance was completely out of the Wise Ruler's expectation. He believed that Angor's group would find other ways to escape without his help. However, he didn't expect Ollao to show up and save them when they were in danger.
The Wise Ruler wondered if Ollao had something to do with Angor's group, but the Tome of Truth proved otherwise.
The Wise Overseer believed that the Book of Truth was right. Angor's group had nothing to do with Olao.
But what was going on here?
Why did Ollao show up?
If Ollao was here for the Noah Clan, why did Ollao ignore the Noah Clan's arrival?
Who in this group was the key to Olao's appearance?
The Wise Ruler couldn't help but think of a certain person.
It was Angor.
He had a feeling that this "variable" was not only observed by himself, but also noticed by Olao.
…
Meanwhile, inside a dark room inside the Clear Sky Poetry Room …
After a few minutes of darkness, the candles on both sides of the room suddenly lit up with a "ding" sound.
The candles only illuminated the walls on both sides of the room. The center of the room was still completely dark.
However, the candles on both sides of the room revealed two oil paintings that were facing each other.
Each painting depicted a person. On one side was a man wearing a high-horned felt hat, while on the other side was a blonde woman sitting elegantly on a chair.
At first glance, the two paintings really looked like oil paintings. Until … the people in the paintings suddenly opened their mouths.
"You still won't tell us, Ollao?" The blonde woman raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in the painting through the dark wall.
The man in the painting was none other than Ollao, who showed up earlier to save Angor's group. He was in a reserved pose in the oil painting, but when he heard Adanis's question, his shoulders drooped dejectedly. He leaned his head against the painting frame and said weakly, "Didn't I say that if they can come, I will definitely tell them. If they can't, there's no point in telling them. "
The blonde woman, who was Adanis, spoke in a flat tone. "They can't come."
"If they can't, then we'll pretend this never happened."
Adanis asked, "What about the explanation I want?"
"They can't come, and you still want an explanation? Don't look at me like that. I'm your senior, after all. "
Adanis raised an eyebrow. A faint red glow appeared in her eyes.
Seeing the glowing red eyes, Olao immediately admitted defeat. "Okay, okay, okay. If they can't come, I'll give you an explanation."
Adanis lowered her eyebrows in satisfaction.
After receiving Ollao's promise, the room fell into silence. The two people in the painting once again looked at each other without saying anything.
After several minutes of silence, Ollao poked half of his body out of the painting frame.
Adanis asked, "Where are you going?"
"Why do you care where I'm going?" Ollao grumbled. "I didn't care when you went out last time, did I?"
"That's because you don't have the ability to care."
Ollao was speechless. Indeed, he didn't have the ability to care about Adanis. Or rather, he couldn't care about Adanis. All of his abilities had dissipated in that accident. In the early years, Ollao had been in desperate situations many times. It was Adanis, the junior he had personally taught, who gave him energy to support him.
In recent years, Ollao had eased a little, but compared to Adanis, he was still far behind.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Poetry Room was his ability's fetter. Once he left, his ability would only continue to decline.
Therefore, not to mention controlling Adanis, just leaving the Clear Sky Poetry Room would consume most of his energy.
"… I'm just going to wait at the door. Maybe they'll have a chance to come?" Ollao hesitated for a moment before speaking truthfully.
Adanis also poked her body out of the painting. With a light leap, she landed lightly on the ground.
Flipping her hair behind her ear, Adanis looked up and said, "Your expectations for them exceed all the Noah Tribe members in the past."
Ollao: "Don't try to trick me. I said that if they don't come, I'll explain it to you. Now, I don't want to say it. "
Adanis: "You don't want to say it now because you think that once you say it, I'll definitely stop them?"
Ollao shook his head. "No, I know your personality. You won't do that. Even if it's a Noah Clan member who failed the trial, you've never taken their lives. "
Adanis: "You're indirectly admitting that once you tell the secret, I might stop them?"
This time, Adanis changed her words. She didn't say "definitely" but "possibly".
Ollao sighed and said helplessly, "Even if I don't say it, didn't you still stop them? Moreover, Nian also used that otherworldly Infant Spirit. You know how terrifying it is … Sigh, forget it. If the Infant Spirit is released, then it's released. This is also a test. Not only is it a test for them, but it's also a test for you and me. "
"If they can really pass the Infant Spirit, I hope you won't stop them … and don't stop me."
Adanis was silent for a moment and didn't give an answer.
Ollao shook his head and said angrily, "You even released the otherworldly Infant Spirit, and you still don't want to let them go?"
"Think about it from another perspective. If they can even deal with the otherworldly Infant Spirit, you can't do anything to them."
Adanis: "They can't possibly deal with that Infant Spirit."
Ollao: "Then it's settled. The Infant Spirit is an uncrowned trump card. If they can still come after this trump card is revealed, then it's fate. "
Adanis still didn't say anything this time. She just stared at Ollao quietly. After a while, she asked softly, "If they come, what will you do? What will you do? "
Ollao was stunned for a moment and then teased, "What's wrong? You don't have confidence in that otherworldly Infant Spirit of unknown origin?"
Adanis flipped her hair behind her ear and then elegantly rolled her eyes at Ollao.
Ollao smiled and his eyebrows were steady. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If they really come, then … I will stand on their side."
Adanis: "Then what? Stand on their side? Then what? "
Ollao: "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Adanis frowned. If you don't know, then why are you so determined?
Ollao shrugged. "I really don't know. But I believe that fate will arrange it. "
"Fate?" Adanis sneered and didn't say anything else.
Ollao didn't care and just said with a smile, "After so many years, this is the first time I've been so excited, the first time I have such expectations. Even if I don't think the chances are high, are you willing to let my expectations go down the drain?"
Adanis snorted. "Why wouldn't I be willing?"
Ollao's face fell and he said in distress, "Sigh, you were so cute when you were just a little kid. Why are you becoming more rebellious the older you get? Aiyaya, if Lord Augustine comes back and sees you like this, he'll definitely think that I didn't teach you well. "
Adanis: "He won't come back."
Ollao: "Regardless of whether Lord Augustine comes back or not, what I want to say is that you have to be more obedient."
With that, Ollao tried to reach out and rub Adanis's hair like he used to do when she was young. But Adanis took a step back and avoided him.
Olao retracted his hand awkwardly. As he reminisced about the past Adanis, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Adanis looked at Olao's back, and for the first time, there was confusion in her sharp eyes.
The problems that she didn't want to touch, the future that she didn't want to think about, and the possibilities that she didn't want to face suddenly surged into her mind.
Adanis wanted to throw these troublesome thoughts aside, but when she diverted her attention, she felt as if there was a voice in her ears again.
— After so many years, this is the first time I've been so excited. Are you willing to let my expectations go down the drain?
She asked herself, was she willing to let that happen?
Adanis already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to show it.
"Did I really go overboard?"
Just as he reflected on it, his obsession followed closely behind.
"No! Everything I did was right. It was for the sake of Moonlight Poetry Room, and for Ollao! "
She didn't want to see Ollao's disappointed expression, but she also didn't want to change the current situation, and she didn't want to be separated from Ollao.
Adanis closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, the hesitation in her eyes had disappeared, and she had regained her indifference.
But it didn't last long before it was replaced by shock.
She abruptly turned her head, and her gaze was directed towards the entrance of the Clear Sky Poetry Room …
…
After confirming that the smell came from Glutton Flowers, Angor's group kept moving forward.
Perhaps because they knew they were about to face a "big battle", everyone remained silent. Dorcas was the only one who seemed eager. But even Dorcas didn't break the silence.
When they turned around a corner and saw a small collapsed square, he stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Dark Earl "looked" at Angor with his nostrils.
Angor shook his head. "Nothing. Let's keep going."
Angor didn't explain. Instead, he caught up with the others and walked toward the southeast of the plaza. There was only one passage in this direction.
Angor observed the plaza as they walked. When they passed by the center of the plaza, Angor looked up.
The ceiling was full of bumps and hollows, which were caused by the collapse of the plaza.
Angor looked at the uneven ceiling and sighed in his mind.
He was revisiting an old place, but it looked completely different.
When he first came to the Nightmare Realm, this was the first place he came to when he was just an ordinary talent.
At that time, he was surrounded by the undamaged corridor rest area.
He looked up and saw the sewers that led to the dark sky outside.
Two Skulls floated beside him.
There was a path of red flowers in the distance.
Back then, the Nightmare Realm was filled with strange auras, and Angor felt uneasy. But at least he saw the lively side of this place.
Now, everything felt familiar yet strange.
There was no passage. Only ruins. There was no sign of life, only a heavy lethargy.
Even though Angor didn't experience it himself, he still felt like he was in a different place.
