"Do you know where the phase gate used to be, mister?" Black Earl quickly asked.
"I don't know," Augustine gave a simple answer.
He didn't need to use a phase gate to travel to the Origin World. Teleportation portals existed ten thousand years ago, and after becoming a legend, he had more ways to travel to other worlds. The phase gate in the Abyss Plane was created by the Demon Eye of Abyss, so it might be dangerous. Therefore, he wouldn't use a phase gate as his first choice.
Besides, even if he wanted to use the phase gate he gave to the natives, he would have to come to the south first. He never came back after leaving the Abyss Plane, so he didn't need to use a phase gate.
When the Black Earl heard this answer, although he had expected it, he still revealed a disappointed expression.
Augustine said, "If you really want to find this Phase Door, it's not like there's no way. There are many supernatural beings in the Abyss Plane who are willing to trade information with humans. If you pay enough, even a demon god can lend you a phase gate. "
The Black Earl was silent for a moment before he nodded. "I understand."
Black Earl was thinking about something else. He didn't want to talk about trading information. If the Barren Plane had such a source of information, Monkey would know about it as well. As for borrowing a path from a demon god, it could only be said that different people had different opinions. A demon god might be willing to lend him a path, but Black Earl didn't dare to use it.
Augustine was powerful and had sharp eyes. If the demon god did something, he would be able to see through it. Even if he couldn't, he could still save himself if something went wrong during the teleportation. Black Earl, on the other hand, had to lower his head in front of a demon god. Borrow a path? Forget it.
On the other hand, Angor had the same thought as Count Black. But when he thought about trading information, he remembered Balalaika, who ran a tavern in the old days.
"Third, there are some special worlds that cover countless planes. If you find a suitable guide, you can go to the Origin World." Augustine paused. "But it's going to be difficult for you."
If Adanis completed the missing part and became a "Mirror Traveler", and if Adanis had been to the Source World and recorded the coordinates of the Source World, then Adanis could become the guide from the Mirror Realm to the Source World. But the reality was that Adanis still needed to rely on the Black Earl to find the missing part. To her, the Mirror Wanderer was still an unreachable dream.
Apart from Adanis, Augustine also believed that Angor was qualified to become a Nightmare Realm Guide. He had never heard of a guide from the Nightmare Realm, but Angor had a special connection with the Nightmare Realm. Maybe he could become the first one. However, this was only Augustine's conjecture. It was unlikely to be realized in a short period of time. Therefore, Augustine did not have much hope that Black Earl would take this path to the Origin World.
"Fourthly, there are many merchant groups in the void. They have their own ways and can quickly cross various worlds. If you're lucky enough to encounter them, you can trade with them. Generally speaking, these merchant groups are very contractual. As long as you can form a contract with them, going to the Origin World isn't difficult. "
However, it was difficult to find the Void Caravan.
Augustine continued, "There are only a few ways to get you to the Origin World quickly. It's up to you which one you choose."
Black Earl mumbled something to express his opinion.
However, Black Earl was still confused. Augustine had already listed all four methods, but it was as if he did not hear them at all.
Augustine made it sound like Black Earl had the right to choose. However, Black Earl could not think of any of the four methods that could lead to a breakthrough.
To put it bluntly, it was all nonsense.
But Augustine was still his senior, and Black Earl did not dare to disobey. He could only keep his frustration and frustration to himself.
Augustine also felt that he was in the wrong. He did say something, but it was as if he did not say anything. Come to think of it, none of these methods were suitable for Black Earl.
After a moment of silence, Augustine spoke again, "Do you have any other questions?"
Augustine wanted to give Angor some time to talk, but since he knew he was in the wrong, he decided to give Black Earl a chance to ask more questions.
Of course, Augustine would be more satisfied if Black Earl gave up on asking questions himself.
However, the Black Earl was not very tactful. Since Augustine asked, the Black Earl naturally revealed all the doubts in his heart.
His questions were complicated, such as: What happened in Nether City back then? Was there a hidden conspiracy in Nether City? Who is Nether City? Will he come back? How many of the Lords are still alive?
Apart from Nether City, Black Earl also wanted to know about the Noah Clan. He also asked about the Voidwalkers whose memories were erased by the Sea of Mirrors if there was a way to regain their memories, as well as the origin of the Noah Clan.
Of course, Black Earl was more concerned about himself. He also told Augustine about all the problems he encountered in his training, as well as many unsolvable bottlenecks.
It could be said that the Black Earl had made up his mind to use this opportunity to clear the doubts in his heart.
Augustine scolded, "These are all ridiculous questions. Can't you find the answers to these questions yourself? Are you a baby in swaddling clothes? Why do you have to ask these questions?" However, he still said everything that he could.
Black Earl actually wanted to talk to Augustine about many of the questions in private since they were related to the secrets of the Noah Clan. However, Augustine did not give Black Earl the chance to do so. In front of everyone, Augustine picked the questions that he could and answered them one by one.
As for the other questions, Augustine answered most of them. Only the incident in Nether City back then was a little secretive. However, compared to the Wise Ruler who did not say a word, Augustine gave a vague answer. "It has something to do with the Origin Worshippers and the Will of the World."
However, Augustine did not tell them what the connection was. He only gave them a strange warning, "The world's consciousness, the world's consciousness, and the more general consciousness do not have any subjective consciousness. However, do not think that you can challenge it, deceive it, or even take advantage of it just because it has no subjective consciousness. That will only bring about a calamity to you. "
"Especially when you think that you have glimpsed the rules of the will and want to take the initiative to interfere. This kind of disaster will come even faster."
Augustine did not continue. He only said calmly, "That's what Nether did. He thought that he had glimpsed the algorithm of the rules, but it was actually just an insignificant projection. "
On this question, Augustine was very vague, but at least he gave everyone some space to imagine.
The incident in Nether City was not just a man-made disaster. It was very likely that it was a natural disaster.
After that, Augustine also answered other questions. However, he did not talk about most of the questions in depth, nor did he talk about the process. He only gave a conclusion.
For example, Augustine's answer to the question "Will Nether return?" was, "Yes. However, whether Nether will still be the Nether from back then is another matter."
The result was given, but Augustine did not mention the reason.
Soon, Augustine finished answering all of Black Earl's questions.
Originally, many of the Black Earl's questions were related to secrets and the truth of history. However, after the Black Earl's answers, everyone still felt very confused.
It was as if they saw the truth behind the fog, but also as if it was just an illusion. Or rather, they were confused by the question of "Is the truth really the truth?"
Of course, not all questions were like this. For example, when it came to the Black Earl's strength, although Augustine also directly gave a conclusion, the Black Earl would always reveal a look of sudden realization.
As for the others, they were in the same situation as before. Their eyes were filled with confusion.
This also meant that Augustine's answers were not "nonsense". However, they did not have the same perspective as Augustine, which was why they felt lonely listening to his answers.
And once his answer involved the domain that you understood, then you would be able to be in a state of enlightenment like the Black Earl.
Black Earl was about to thank Augustine for answering his questions, but to his surprise, Augustine ignored him and looked at Angor directly.
Angor's first reaction was surprise, followed by confusion and gratitude.
Without a doubt, Augustine was talking to Angor through telepathy.
Black Earl felt a little sad. He wanted to talk to Noah's ancestor in private, but he was ignored. Angor, on the other hand, showed a different attitude.
Black Earl began to wonder who was the real descendant of Noah.
Of course, Black Earl was more curious about Angor's charm. Why did Augustine treat him so differently?
Everyone was wondering the same thing. However, they did not have an answer yet.
Because —
The last wisp of energy lingering within the puppet dissipated.
This meant that Augustine's consciousness had left as well.
Cracks began to appear in the puppet's gem-like eyes, and its body began to creak. In the end, the puppet became a pile of primitive machinery.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Augustine had left.
In the first place, Augustine's departure was destined, so no one had any regrets. However, when they looked up and met each other's eyes, the air around them seemed to have frozen.
Olao was now sleeping inside Angor's bracelet.
Only Angor's group and Adanis were left here.
Earlier, Adanis stated that she wanted to join the Noah Clan. However, it was only a verbal statement. There was no contract to bind her. It was not impossible for Adanis to change her mind now.
And now, they were still in Clear Sky Poetry Room, still in Adanis's territory. Without Olao's restriction, it would be difficult to deal with Adanis.
When everyone thought of this, their hearts sank slightly.
Now, they needed to see if Adanis would keep her promise.
Dorcas stood up and stretched. "Since we've pretty much finished what we came here for, shouldn't we be leaving?"
Kal and Wade nodded in agreement, as if it was indeed time to leave.
Dorcas had said that he was leaving, but he was actually testing Adanis.
As expected, Adanis did not let them down. She turned around and looked at Angor.
"Give me Olao's body."
Her commanding tone was not pleasant to hear. Through this sentence, Adanis showed that she was in control of the situation.
Everyone looked at Angor worriedly, wondering how he would respond.
But before Angor could say anything, Black Earl spoke first. "Adanis, are you going back on your word about joining the Noah Clan?"
Adanis humphed. "I'm talking to him. What does that have to do with the Noah Clan?"
"That's because Noah Family and Brute Cavern are allies. Of course, his business has something to do with Noah Clan. "
The Black Earl was just making things up about being allies. It was true that he was close to Rein, but it was also true that many people in Brute Cavern did not like him.
Besides, Mister Monkey and other wizard organizations would not be happy to see two near-legendary wizards forming an alliance.
Considering these "wizard politics", the Noah Clan and Brute Cavern were not allies. In other words, the Noah Clan did not have any allies at all. This was one of the reasons why the Noah Clan was not restricted by the major wizard organizations. Since they did not have any allies, anyone could become their ally.
With the Dark Earl's strength, other Magus organizations and families had no reason to offend the Dark Earl. This was why the Noah Clan was able to do well in many places.
In the field of wizard politics, the Noah Clan could be used as a textbook example of "absolute neutrality".
They did not form an alliance, but that did not stop him from lying through his teeth. Everyone knew that Angor was close to Rein. Adanis, on the other hand, did not know about the conflicts between wizard organizations. Even if she knew about the Noah Clan, she would only assume that the Noah Clan was working with Brute Cavern in secret, even if they did not show up on the surface.
That was what Adanis thought. She gave Black Earl a meaningful look and did not refute his words. Instead, she took a step back. "I did say that I'll join the Noah Clan, but I did not say when."
"For now, I have nothing to do with the Noah Clan."
The Dark Earl only needed to use a little of his eloquence to rebuke Adanis until she had nothing to say.
Count Black was about to say something like that, but Angor suddenly cleared his throat and stopped him from doing so.
Everyone looked at Angor.
Angor smiled at Adanis and took out a bronze mirror from his bracelet. "You want this?"
