Everyone was in an uproar when they heard Olao's words. Even Adanis was in disbelief.
Both Black Earl and Vaay were from Noah Clan, so it was only natural that they could enter the Chamber of Poetry. But what right did he have to enter the Chamber of Poetry?
Adanis asked, "You think he can come in? Why? "
Olao didn't answer Adanis' question. Instead, he gave Angor a hopeful look, as if encouraging him to move forward.
Angor was confused as well. "Why do you think I can enter?"
"You'll know the answer when you're inside," said Olao.
That was as good as not saying anything. What did he mean by "I'll know the answer when I'm inside"? If Angor found out that he couldn't enter and Adanis saw him as a trespasser, wouldn't they start a fight?
Angor even wondered if Olao was trying to encourage him to fight Adanis head-on.
But if that was the case, Olao didn't have to stop Adanis' attack in the hallway.
Angor didn't understand, but he knew the best choice was to —
"No," Angor refused right away.
"Why? You're here for the Chamber of Poetry, aren't you?"
"I don't know how you — I mean, Mister Olao — came to such a conclusion. But I can tell you clearly that I'm not interested in the Chamber of Poetry. "
Adanis: "You're lying!"
Angor sighed and looked at Adanis. "Miss, do you know me that well? Why don't you open your eyes and see before you make your assumptions? "
Angor's words were all "honest", which meant that one could use Word of Truth to determine whether he was telling the truth or not. For those who were good at reading people's expressions, they could tell whether Angor was telling the truth even without using Word of Truth.
"If you're not interested in the Chamber of Poetry, why did you break through the encirclement and come here? Besides, the old Wise Lord doesn't trust people that easily. But he chose to trust you. I don't think you're here for no reason. "
"I'm here for a reason, but I'm not interested in the Chamber of Poetry. Believe it or not, it's up to you. "
Angor didn't want to argue with Adanis anymore. He stepped back and put on a "I'm not going to get involved" look.
When Olao told him that he could enter the Chamber of Poetry, Angor was a little tempted. But when he thought about how Olao used words like "should", "maybe" and "maybe" before telling him that Angor could enter the Chamber of Poems, Angor felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the situation inside the Clear Sky Poetry Room with his own eyes was indeed the best. But it didn't matter if he didn't see it with his own eyes. In any case, Wa Yi and the Black Earl had promised him that they would use the Image Recording Stone to record the interior environment. Naturally, they wouldn't go back on their words.
Since he could easily obtain information about the internal environment, why should he take the risk of "should, maybe, maybe" to break into the Clear Sky Poetry Room? There was absolutely no need for that.
Also, he had another backup plan hidden in his mind.
If something happened to Vale and Black Earl, and he couldn't see what was going on inside … Of course, the probability of that happening was small. Even without a Shadow Stone, Vale and Earl Black could still recall what happened inside the Chamber of Poetry Room by relying on their memories. The Shadow Stone was only a supporting piece of evidence.
But that didn't mean it didn't exist. For example, if the situation inside the Chamber of Poetry Room was completely covered by illusions or mirrors, they couldn't see the real situation inside.
Angor had no choice but to use his backup plan.
The backup plan was simple: use the Dream Whelk to drag the Chamber of Poetry Room into the dream wasteland.
After that, he could simply explore the Chamber of Poetry Room in the dream wasteland.
However, using the Dream Whelk in front of so many people would definitely attract attention. They might not be able to guess why Angor used the Dream Whelk, but the seeds of doubt would be planted in their minds.
And these seeds of doubt would definitely explode when the dream wasteland appeared.
Angor had a plan to deal with it, but it would be best if he didn't have to worry about it. After all, it was still troublesome. What he hated the most was dealing with useless problems.
There was no need to complicate things when he could save time and effort. For example, if he could ask Wail and Black Earl to help him, he wouldn't have to do it himself.
Angor's "I'm not going" attitude completely stunned Adanis.
She always believed that Angor was the biggest variable in this world. But why didn't he take the normal path?
Adanis felt a strange sense of emptiness in her heart.
Maybe it was because of Olao's sincere words not long ago. "I want to find an answer from these people. I also want to see my future … and your future."
Regardless of whether Adanis agreed with this statement or not, it did cause her emotions to become a lot more complicated. She didn't like the visitors, but she also felt curious and expectant. She really wanted to know what kind of answer Olao wanted from these people.
And Adanis didn't deny that Olao was referring to Angor.
But now, Angor was acting like he didn't want to come in, which really caught Adanis off guard.
Was Olao not referring to Angor? Was it someone else?
Edanis turned to look at Olao, wanting to see what he had to say.
Olao was still looking at Angor, as if Angor was the only one who existed in his eyes.
He stared at Angor in silence as if he was looking through Angor's eyes. After a long time, he spoke again.
"Perhaps it's because what I said earlier was too ambiguous that you chose to reject it."
Angor looked at Olao, who was giving him a "I see" look.
Angor really wanted to say that it wasn't because of that. He just wanted to save some effort. However, after thinking about it, he did not say anything. Instead, he waited for Olao to continue.
There must be a reason for Olao's tone.
Sure enough, Olao said in a profound tone, "As long as you answer one of my questions, I will be able to determine if you are qualified to enter the Clear Sky Poetry Room."
Angor remained silent for a moment. "I'm not a Noah, and I don't have Noah's bloodline. I don't have any Hollow Ones among my ancestors, nor someone who might be pregnant."
"That's not what I want to ask," said Olao.
"Just ask whatever you want to know." You paused for so long just to let me guess, and now you're giving me a negative answer. You're wasting my time, aren't you?
Angor complained in his mind, but he still pretended to be calm. "What do you want to ask, Mister Olao? Just say it."
"You've … met him, right?"
"Who did you meet?" Angor asked without thinking. Who's this' he '? "
"You know who he is," said Olao.
Angor felt like complaining again. But when he looked at Olao's eager eyes, he suddenly thought of someone.
"You mean … Augustine?"
Olao nodded quickly.
Adanis, on the other hand, showed a thoughtful look. Is this why Olao likes Angor so much?
Angor wanted to say "no" out of instinct. But before he could say anything, he swallowed his words back.
In reality, he had never seen Augustine's real body, but when he was refining the key, he had met Augustine in the Alchemy Omen.
Still, he didn't know if he could "see" Augustine in his alchemy omen.
Angor considered his words carefully. "No, I haven't seen him in real life."
Olao would be disappointed if Angor said "never". But Angor purposely added "real life", which meant … "You've seen him in your non-real life?"
Angor nodded. "Sort of."
Olao sighed in relief. "I knew it. You can come in."
"What do you mean?" Angor was still confused.
The others also looked at Olao in confusion, especially Black Earl. The chamber was Noah's ancestral home. Why would Olao let Angor in? Because Angor once saw Augustine?
Olao considered for a moment. "I was going to tell you after you came in. But since you've already answered my question, it's fine to tell you now."
Pausing for a moment, Olao glanced at Adanis. "Weren't you curious as to why I paid so much attention to him? You already know the answer, right? "
Adanis asked, "Is it because of Augustine?"
Olao nodded. "That's right."
Olao looked at Angor again. "Yesterday, when you arrived at the Stairs of Hanging Prison, I heard something. Somehow, I heard someone reciting a poem.
"I know the style of the poem very well. It's exactly the same as Master Augustine's. But the person who was reciting the poem didn't sound like Master Augustine's.
"This is the first time in ten thousand years that I've ever felt something related to Master Augustine. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out what it meant.
"Until I saw you in Edanis's reflection."
"The moment I saw you, I suddenly had an image of the person reciting the poem in my spiritual perception. It was a man with blond hair. He was reciting Master Augustine's poem with his back to me. "
"I can't see your real face because of the barrier, but I can't see your true face. But I'm guessing you're not a redhead. You have blond hair, right? "
Angor didn't deny it. "… Yes."
Olao grinned. "I knew it. You're the one I saw in my mind."
Angor neither denied nor admitted it. He thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask what's at the beginning of the poem?"
"Of course." Olao thought for a moment and recited the poem in the same tone as the poem in his mind. "Oh, my dear Margaret, I miss you so much. Even if the forest is full of miasma, even if the city is full of guards …"
"Stop!" Angor already felt goosebumps all over his body. No, I can't read it anymore. It's too embarrassing.
Angor couldn't be more familiar with the poem's tone and content.
This was the poem he recited to Augustine in the Alchemy Omen!
It was an insult to Augustine's memory. Because of this, he didn't want to look at Augustine's face when reading the poem. Instead, he turned his back to Augustine.
Olao also saw Angor's back in his mind. This was no longer a coincidence.
It was as if Augustine directly projected the scene in his alchemy omen into Olao's mind.
He took a deep breath and looked at Olao. "I'm most likely the one you're talking about. So?"
Olao smiled. "Great. You're the one who should be fine."
"You're the one favored by Master Augustine. You can enter the Chamber of Poetry for sure!"
Olao happily confirmed Angor's answer. Everyone looked at Olao with complicated expressions. Among them, Angor sensed the most complicated emotions coming from Black Earl and Adanis.
But Angor didn't care what they were thinking right now.
There was only one thing he wanted to know.
"So?"
Angor considered. "Like I said, I don't need to enter the Chamber of Poetry. If you want me to enter the Clear Sky Poetry Room, you need a reason, right? "
Olao didn't know what to say.
They were already in the Chamber of Poetry, and they had to go through countless obstacles to get here. Angor just stood outside the door and said he achieved his goal?
Olao thought Angor said that on purpose, but Angor didn't say it out loud.
But now, seeing that Angor wasn't going to enter the chamber, Olao realized that Angor was telling the truth. Angor really didn't want to enter the chamber.
Olao considered and said, "I can't give you a clear reason. But you're the first time in ten thousand years that I got an idea related to Master. Maybe it's a sign from Master to me and Adanis. "
Adanis humphed. "Don't drag me into this. It has nothing to do with me."
Olao ignored Adanis and looked at Angor again. "I don't have a reason now. But maybe you'll find one after you come in. "
Angor frowned. "What do you mean?"
Olao said, "After I saw you at Adanis' place, I wanted to confirm some of my thoughts, so I went to see you once … Speaking of which, you even found out about me that time."
Olao was talking about what happened in the arena. Angor had possessed one of the void monsters, and it was the only one who showed any kindness. It was like a shining star in the night sky. How could Angor not notice it?
"When I saw you, I confirmed my idea again. Because I sensed Master's aura on you."
"Are you sure?"
Olao nodded. "I couldn't be sure when I looked at you from afar. But now that I'm standing right in front of you, I'm even more certain that Master's aura is on you. "
Angor frowned. Did Augustine do something else to him?
Did Angor do something to him during the alchemy omen?
Angor suddenly felt a little uneasy. He did not feel anything wrong with his body during this time, but Olao seemed to be confident about it.
Was this real or fake?
"Maybe Master left his aura on you so that you can come to the Chamber of Poetry."
