As one of the judges of the new star game, angel still knows Reynolds' combat level better.
Although relevant gossip magazines often focus on "luck" when talking about Reynolds' game, this is only a bias of public opinion. What readers like to see is gimmicks. The plain battle is naturally not as interesting as John's counter attack.
But as long as you think about it a little carefully, you will understand that Reynolds can't always stand on the stage of the new star game if he is only lucky.
Reynolds himself also has quite strong combat capability.
Even the ability of hand to hand combat is not much weaker than that of nausika. Although his ranking is not too high in the end, there are some unavoidable objective factors.
Reynolds dare not and can't use soul arms in the game, and many of Reynolds's combat systems revolve around soul arms. Without soul arms, his strength is directly halved.
After using the soul arm, angel felt that he could enter the top ten of the new star competition.
In contrast, Reynolds can fight in the top ten with all his strength, while the top 30 in the laboratory are better than him... This means that the people in the top 30, in this era, in addition to the official wizards, are already at the peak of the wave set off by the extraordinary.
Although it is only a wizard apprentice, the organization behind it can cultivate so many powerful top apprentices.
"Has the strength of No. 30 reached the peak of apprenticeship?" Nice pondered for a moment and asked Reynolds, "is there any chance of reaching the official wizard?"
"Yes." Reynolds said with certainty: "although I haven't seen the strength of the three, No. 03, No. 02 and No. 01, the attitude of other numbered personnel around them and other signs can show that they have reached the official wizard."
Nice frowned: "there are actually three official wizards, which is quite profound. However, if they are official wizards, they shouldn't use anonymity... Do they have official nicknames or names?"
Reynolds shook his head. "Maybe, but I don't know. We all use numbers internally."
"What do they look like?"
Reynolds shook his head again: "they have been wearing hoods. I have never been in close contact with them when I wake up... I only know that except that No. 03 is a woman, the other two are men."
When he used to be an experimental living body, he had close contact on the experimental platform, but when he lay on the experimental platform, he basically had no normal thinking ability and could not remember each other's appearance at all.
Nice: "three official wizards with unknown faces. Will they be local wizards in the southern regions? Or do they come from other places... Or, the numbers 01, 02 and 03 are just their private identities. Do they have other identities in the open?"
Nice couldn't guess the identity of the other party, so he had to stop for a while and motioned Reynolds to continue.
"In addition to these three, there is another place that may need attention." Reynolds hesitated for more than ten seconds before he said, "I heard about it from No. 11."
Reynolds briefly introduced the number 11.
He is a rare moderate in the laboratory, or at least on the surface, and has a friendly attitude towards their experimental objects.
No. 11 has a well-known hobby. He has no resistance to mana algae powder.
Therefore, the tool man who starts with number x often bribes No. 11 with manazao powder to learn from him the recent task tendency and which tasks are difficult and can be avoided as soon as possible.
On the 11th, after taking mana powder, I was like a drunk person. I didn't keep the door open. I often revealed a lot of secret news.
Once, Reynolds learned a secret about the laboratory from the "Hi" big mouth 11.
——Above number 01, there is another number 00.
"He said it himself on the 11th, but he didn't seem to feel right after he said it. He immediately shut up. No matter how we asked, he didn't speak."
Reynolds: "it's the first time I've heard of number 00. I've never seen it before."
"00, it sounds like a secret existence." Nice whispered to himself.
"I don't know whether the number 00 really exists. However, even if there is a number 00, the other party should not be in the laboratory."
Reynolds has lived in the laboratory for decades. He has seen all the numbers far or near, but there is absolutely no 00 in it. If he hadn't overheard it on the 11th, he wouldn't think about it at all.
"If 00 really exists, it is estimated that it will be the strongest of all numbered characters according to the division of strength." Nice looked at Angel: "anyway, pay attention. Don't roll over because we don't pay attention."
Angel nodded, bearing in mind the situation of 00, and then asked some questions about the people with the top number. However, Reynolds knew very little, and the top number rarely appeared. He had no way to collect information, so he had to give up.
In a question and answer, the time also came to noon.
"It's time." Angel closed the case of his pocket watch. "Now it depends on whether the ocean current will really change."
While talking, angel poked his spiritual tentacle out of the force field and felt the changes of the ocean current through the shaking of the tentacle in the soft wave.
However, the mental tentacle was shaking from side to side like the long brown algae on the seabed.
From a macro perspective, the current has a general direction, but when we focus on one place, the current will be very chaotic, left and right. In angel's brain tonic, the direction of the current is a single arrow, and at this time, these single arrows are in which direction. They are swaying like dancing ribbons, which can't judge the specific direction at all.
Angel said this situation. Reynolds said: "this is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry. The changes of the current determining the location of the laboratory are very obvious and are not affected by these details."
"As long as it appears, it must be perceived."
Seeing Reynolds' words so determined, angel felt that it was not in line with the laws of nature, but when he looked back... It was a joke to talk about the laws of nature in the devil sea.
What's more, it also belongs to the restricted area of the devil sea - the fog zone.
Any abnormal phenomenon here is possible. Since Reynolds is sure, let's wait and see what happens.
Everyone stopped talking and waited for the change of the current in different ways.
As time went by, the current had not changed yet, but the quiet atmosphere was broken... Broken by Dan gross.
Dan gross didn't speak, but just lingered and made some rustling noise.
Angel looked around and it stopped immediately. Without looking at it, it began to continue, just like deliberately trying to make a sound and brush the sense of self existence.
At the back, Toby was impatient and shouted at Dan gross hanging on the blood night shelter.
"Gabble --"
Facing Toby, Dan gross naturally licked the dog: "Lord Toby, do you have anything to tell me?"
However, Dan gross and Toby have their own language isolation, and Dan gross can't understand what Toby is saying.
Angel can only help Toby translate: "it's greeting you kindly. What were you waiting for before?"
Of course, Toby's so-called "kindness" is the polite touch up of angel in interpretation.
Dan gross hesitated and said, "I, I'm..."
Before stuttering Dan gross finished, there was a sudden buzz in the distance. Angel immediately "silenced" Dan Gros and listened.
The buzz doesn't come from sea animals. But the sound of the sea, the hum of the sea.
"Coming! Coming!" Reynolds also floated up and shouted in surprise in the direction of the buzzing.
As his voice fell, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared in the distance and quickly approached their position.
At first, angel thought it was the purple beast who came back by buzzing, but when he looked at it, he found that the dark shadows were not creatures. In other words, it is not all creatures in the sea, but a special phenomenon of flying sand and moving stones after various sand and gravel particles are lifted up and surge in with the rolling ocean current.
With the coming shadow, the flying sand came with the fine mayfly creatures.
"So this is the current." Angel thought, no wonder Reynolds would say that the direction of the laboratory can be judged by the current, which is too conspicuous.
"Let's go." Angel held the force field and went upstream against the crazy surge.
The ocean current is wanton at the bottom of the sea. Everywhere it passes is dust, and coral is broken all over the ground, just like a hurricane.
On the sea surface, waves of huge waves have also been formed.
It looks crazy and dangerous.
But for angel and others, such a scene is really nothing. Even in terms of the degree of danger, it is no better than the falling wall that angel encountered before.
They moved quickly in the direction of the current.
In the middle, I inevitably met some sea animals washed by the current, but these sea animals even resist the current, but they are unlikely to pose a threat to angel.
The roaring current lasted more than ten minutes before it began to subside slightly.
However, even if the sea is relatively calm, the current at the bottom of the sea is still very turbulent, which can continue to point out a clear direction for them.
After tossing for about half an hour, they came to a chaotic reef sea full of dust.
"I seem to have some impression of the landform here. It should not be far from the laboratory." The speaker is nausika. Through the faint light of the force field, she sees the general environment around her, and then she has a certain judgment.
After she finished, she looked at Reynolds and wanted to seek Reynolds' approval. However, Reynolds's expression was slightly trance.
"Reynolds, what's the matter with you?" Asked nausica.
Reynolds recovered for a long time: "nothing, i... I was just thinking that it's very close to the laboratory, but I still don't feel it."
Reynolds looked into the distance and seemed to see the underwater laboratory full of steel and machinery through the turbid sea water: "I have some doubts. Is my body really in the laboratory?"
Reynolds' question made people think of the two prophecies given by the Maya witch in the wilderness of dreams.
"Your body is in a cold environment and may even be frozen. This freezing is good for your body."
"Around your body, I heard human whispers."
According to their speculation on the two prophecies, Reynolds' body should have been saved by someone, and it is highly possible that Reynolds' body is in a scene similar to "healing ice coffin".
It was because of this speculation and there was no human settlement nearby that they agreed that Reynolds' body should have been found by the people in the laboratory. After all, it perfectly satisfies the two predictions. In the known environment of the fog belt, only the laboratory can do it at present.
But now it is very close to the laboratory. According to the natural attraction of the body to the soul, Reynolds should have a vague induction. But the reality is that Reynolds still doesn't have any perception, which is a little strange.
"... maybe there are magic patterns that interfere with perception in the laboratory." Nausica road.
Reynolds: "if that's true, it's okay."
I'm afraid they guessed wrong. Reynolds's body is not in the laboratory.
Reynolds shook his head and put aside his worries for the time being. Anyway, whether his body is in the laboratory or not, he must go to the laboratory in order to remove the imprint of his soul.
Everything, wait until he gets to the lab.
Reynolds perked up, looked around and said to the crowd, "we're going to enter the guard patrol area soon. We have to be careful."
"Although there are no guards around here, there are some grazing sea animals for cruising. The strength of these sea animals can not be underestimated."
At this time, Reynolds sighed softly: "if only the demon left by No. 17 had not been found at that time, we could follow the law of grazing sea animals in the past, avoid their route in advance and sneak into the laboratory."
"Now that they are vigilant, they will certainly change the path of sea animals. It is difficult to sneak in without alarm."
As soon as Reynolds sighed, he heard a cold hum: "who told you it was difficult?"
Nice was talking. He glanced at Reynolds and said, "that's your strength. You really want to hide the sea beast. There are many ways."
After nice said that, he was ready to show the shielding ability of a soul system, but before it moved, a circle of air ripples appeared around them. Then their body shape, smell and all the pheromones left behind disappeared.
Even the glimmer of the force field is hidden.
"This is... Magic."
The liberator, no doubt angel.
Nice wanted to complain, but he saw that angel ignored him and looked straight into the distance.
Nice hesitated and followed angel's line of sight.
The naked eye still can't see anything except darkness, which is covered with dust.
However, through the fluctuation of the water flow, nice clearly felt that a large creature was swimming in their direction
