Inside the Chamber of Poetry.
Adanis watched as Angor destroyed the Glutton Flowers, scared the Infant Spirit, and used a strange defensive spell to bring the humans away from the red wax area.
By the time everyone got past the red wax and the web, Adanis finally understood what happened.
The Infant Spirit violated the contract.
She didn't know what kind of power made the Infant Spirit lose the courage to attack Angor, but it was pointless to scold the Infant Spirit now.
Soon, the Infant Spirit would be locked by the mirror domain and fall into the Sea of Mirrors. It didn't matter if the Infant Spirit was smart or stupid. Once it reached the Sea of Mirrors, it would be torn apart by the surging tides and vanish.
Adanis no longer paid attention to the Infant Spirit. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on Angor.
"No! Don't let him in! "Adanis muttered in a low voice with a determined look.
If the Infant Spirit couldn't stop Angor, she would do it herself!
As a matter of fact, Adanis was already a bit afraid of Angor's strange appearance. However, she was already prepared to face the same fate as the Infant Spirit.
Besides, she didn't believe that Olao would let her get hurt.
If Olao decided to help Angor, would he?
She wouldn't let Olao side with Angor even if it meant making Olao hate her. She wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, even if she had to pay the price for it.
Seeing Angor and the others heading toward the Chamber of Poetry, Adanis knew that she had to act now.
She reached out her hand and tapped lightly, and a mirror was erected in the dark air.
The corridor outside the Chamber of Poetry had a lot of reflective surfaces. Adanis could go through them with just a thought.
Without hesitation, Adanis slowly walked down from the floating mirror. Every step she took left a ripple in the air.
Along with the crisp sound of the soles of her shoes touching the ground, in the reflection of the mirror, one could already see her white toes half-exposed, as well as her wooden high heels that were wrapped in vines.
Out of instinct, Adanis reached out her foot and tried to step into the mirror.
However, she didn't expect her foot to hit the mirror directly.
With a series of "clang" and "hua hua" sounds, the mirror shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Adanis was stunned for a moment before she bent down and picked up a fragment from the ground.
When Adanis saw that the fragment was pitch-black and lusterless, and had nothing to do with the surface of the mirror, she suddenly understood.
This was definitely done by Olayo!
The only person who could seal her mirror passage in the Clear Sky Poetry Room was Olao!
Adanis's eyes turned cold. She stared at the broken lens with a gloomy gaze, as if she was looking through the broken lens at the man she loved and hated.
She was clearly doing this for Olaf, so that he wouldn't become a captive of others, so that he wouldn't be shackled by this small space, but why was Olaf stopping her?!
Adanis clenched her fists and took deep breaths. He could see the deep depression in her neck, which showed how angry she was.
"I don't believe that you have sealed all the mirrors!"
Adanis roared angrily and flew up. Wherever her skirt brushed, wherever her finger pointed, wherever her gaze landed, a large number of mirrors would appear.
Squares, circles, triangles, and other irregular shapes; prisms, water mirrors, glass mirrors, metal mirrors … countless mirrors appeared around Adanis.
When these mirrors appeared, Adanis summoned a bright and dazzling ball of light from her palm.
The ball of light was like a miniature sun, slowly rising and illuminating this space filled with mirrors.
However, what made Adanis angry was that no matter how bright the light was, it could not shine into these mirrors. These mirrors seemed to have all become pitch-black holes that absorbed light. They no longer reflected light, only endless darkness and a faint fog.
This fog was the "source of disaster" that sealed the mirrors.
This was a special ability that could close the mirror passage.
Adanis also had this ability, but she couldn't get rid of the fog on the mirrors.
It wasn't that she wasn't strong enough, but in this Clear Sky Poetry Room, Olao was the one who was recognized as the 'representative'. His authority in the Clear Sky Poetry Room was much higher than Adanis'.
When Olao banned the mirror passage of the Clear Sky Poetry Room, no one could expel the fog. Even if Adanis was much stronger than Olao, she still couldn't do it.
This was the rule of the Poetry Room, and Olao's authority as the "representative".
Adanis clenched her fists, and all the mirrors around her disappeared.
Since the mirror passages were blocked, she couldn't break Olao's seal no matter how hard she tried.
However, Adanis was not completely helpless. The management of the Clear Sky Poetry Room was indeed in Olao's hands, but the management of the Mana Array outside the Clear Sky Poetry Room was in her hands.
She got it from the Wise Overlord.
At first, Adanis asked to control the magic array around the Poetry Room because she didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders.
By outsiders, she meant the Wise Overlord, or even the Cyclops Family.
But now, she could use the magic array to deliver the final judgment to them.
"I didn't want to use the magic array, but you forced me." Adanis exhaled deeply, closed her eyes, and sent her spirit power into the magic array.
At this moment, Olao, who was waiting at the entrance of the Clear Sky Poetry Room, turned around and looked in the direction of Adanis's room. He sighed softly.
"Obsession, wishful thinking." Olaf put away his usual carefree tone and softly murmured, "I told you to wait a little longer. Wait a little longer. Let her see you before you leave … Why can't you wait?"
Olao's eyes became misty as if he saw the night ten thousand years ago.
He was sitting inside the picture frame, imitating a gentleman. That person was sitting beside a long table, looking at him.
"I don't understand," the gentleman in the picture frame, Olao, spoke.
The handsome wizard chuckled lazily. "Of course you don't. Look at how old you are. If you already know about love, I'll have to wonder if I added something I shouldn't have when I created you."
"But you really don't want to wait? I can already see the light in the mirror. It's going to give birth to its own consciousness at any time," Olao said.
"You're here, aren't you?" The wizard still looked indifferent.
"Besides, if you want me to wait, it'll take years, decades, or even centuries. I can't wait, and neither can Marguerite. "
Olaf: "So, it's all for love?"
"Of course." The wizard smiled.
With that, the sorcerer closed his eyes and recited a love poem in an intoxicated manner.
He wrote the poem himself. As for its quality … Olao didn't have the face to comment.
After reciting the poem, the wizard stood up with his back to Olao. "For love, for my Margret."
"Thank you for your hard work, Olao. Trust me, I'll be back soon. At that time, I'll bring your brother with me. Maybe the consciousness in the other mirror hasn't been born yet ~ "
"What if it's already born?" Olao asked.
The wizard walked out of the Clear Sky Poetry Room while replying, "If it's born, then it's born."
The door of the room was pushed open, and the light from outside shone in.
The wizard suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Olao.
"Right, if it's really born, it'll be called Adanis." The wizard smiled, and his smile was very beautiful. "Let me tell you a secret. This is the name of the heroine in the love story Margaret wrote when she was still a child."
"Guess, what's the name of the hero in that love story?"
"I don't want to guess. I just want you to come back soon."
"So boring. Forget it, I'm leaving. Olao also needs to grow. I hope to see a different you when I come back. "
With that, the wizard walked out of the shining door.
His back view disappeared in the backlight. At this moment, the backlight froze in the depths of Olao's memories.
From that moment on, Olao had been waiting for his return. But for ten thousand years, he hadn't appeared.
"For love, I still don't understand," Olao muttered to himself, shaking his head.
Olao stopped thinking about the man and looked at Adanis instead.
"Look at Adanis. Is this the result you want? If you come back and my brother comes back, he'll be unhappy to see Adanis like this. "
"Was I wrong? Was it because I didn't keep her in check that led to today's result? "
Olao suddenly didn't know if he had been too decadent and lazy in the past. Was it too late to educate her again?
This thought only flashed in Olao's mind for a moment before disappearing like a shooting star. Because whether or not he had the time to restrain Adanis was a matter for the future.
The most important thing right now was … Could those people outside find a way to get past Adanis' magic array?
Olao could stop Adanis from using the mirror tunnel, but he couldn't stop her from controlling the magic array outside.
Olao suddenly regretted his decision. If he knew Adanis was such a sore loser, he wouldn't have warned Angor and the others to watch out for the Wise Lord.
With the Wise Lord's help, they wouldn't have to worry about the magic array.
Oleo sighed. Could it be that he was going to ask the Sovereign of Wisdom for help?
"Ugh. Let's go." Olao didn't care about anything else now. Since Angor and the others had passed the test, it meant that Olao's test was over. Maybe he really was the one he was waiting for.
Olao didn't expect Adanis to suddenly add a magic array test, so he had to stop it no matter what.
The only way Olao could think of was to ask the Wise Lord for help.
Only the Ruler of the Wise had the control core of the underground water path magic array. He had a way to stop Adanis' crazy actions.
However, when Olao was about to move, he heard a voice.
A cry of surprise entered his ears, "Impossible! Why?! Why?! "
The one who exclaimed was Adanis.
Olao stopped in his tracks and looked at the corridor with a puzzled expression. He couldn't help but chuckle.
Adanis's most intimidating ability was inherited from Margret's magic array.
Even though Adanis wasn't as good as Margret at changing a magic array so effortlessly, her mastery of magic arrays was definitely top-notch. Even the Wise Lord, who had the core of the magic array, had to ask Adanis for help when the array was damaged by outside forces.
This was one of Adanis' greatest tools to keep the Wise Lord in check.
But now, the young man outside who caught Olao's attention was holding an array disk in each hand and easily fending off all of Adanis's attacks.
Olao was about to call for reinforcements, but when he saw this scene, his heart was filled with joy.
He even had a way to deal with Adanis's magic array. There was no doubt that the person who had arrived was the destined one!
It has to be!
Olao's worried expression disappeared. He stood by the door of the chamber and waited for the group to arrive.
But at this moment, Adanis rushed out from the inner room.
She saw Olao standing by the door but ignored him. Instead, she tried to break through the door and leave.
But before Adanis could rush out of the door, she was stopped by Olao.
"Get out of the way." Adanis suppressed her anger and said to Olao in a suppressed voice.
"You won't be able to defeat them in the material world," Olao said.
Adanis turned around and stared into Olao's eyes. "Then let go of the mirror tunnel!"
Olaf: "Do you believe in fate?"
Adanis was already prepared to have a big fight with Olaf, but she didn't expect Olaf to suddenly change the topic and say something that made no sense.
"I don't believe in fate."
Olaf: "Then do you trust me?"
Adanis remained silent for a moment. "I can trust you. But if you try to talk to me about fate, I'll just scoff. "
Olaf: "Fate is a beautiful packaging, a concept that is whitewashed. Hidden beneath fate is the truth of countless undercurrents. "
"The truth is always the truth. It is unshakable. Fate is just a layer of dreamy color on top of the truth. "
Adanis asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Olaf said, "What I want to say is, if you really believe me, and it's for my own good, then show me the truth. Do you think I want to wait forever? No, I don't want to. "
"I don't want to bear the burden left behind by Augustine. I want to see the outside world and find my brother who has been separated from me for ten thousand years."
"But I can't let go of this burden now."
"I can help you, as long as I —"
"I've given you ten thousand years. I've allowed you to do whatever you want, but as you can see, my situation hasn't changed at all," Olaf said.
"As long as the contract is still here, I can't leave this place."
"I can think of a way to destroy Nether City. In the name of the Mirror Demon, I can summon those believers back."
Olao shook his head. "Destroying it won't help. It will only cause the hidden danger to erupt. Why do you think the wizard organizations that attacked Nether City chose not to destroy it in the end and left a shell here? Because they found out that there is a huge hidden danger left behind by Nether City. "
"What kind of person is Nether City? Let's not talk about whether what he did was right or wrong. Just his existence alone is enough to threaten half of the wizard world. You can imagine how much trouble it will cause if the mines he left behind are detonated. "
"I didn't make this up. You can ask the Wise Ruler. You know that I don't have much interaction with that Three-Eyed Blue Demon. I'm afraid of its intelligence and ambition. You might think that my words are alarmist, but are you willing to believe his words? "
"Your so-called destruction will only cause the hidden danger to erupt. Even if I hide in the Mirror Domain, I will still be affected. Moreover, my contract makes it impossible for me to avoid this danger. "
"So, I want to get an answer from these people. At the same time, I want to see my escape route."
"… and your future."
