"You just reminded the two stone ghosts that they are now lying down. I wanted to faint like the old woman on the third floor. I didn't expect to beat so much."
As soon as angel started the conversation, DOX immediately noticed that before angel made a sound, he talked about it in advance.
The Gargoyle is lying? Obviously, it was DOX's modification. Angel didn't have to speculate. He knew that the two stone statues had been broken into countless pieces at this time.
"By the way, thank you for your poker card. Otherwise, I would be in some trouble if I took this mechanism corridor."
Angel: "... Do you know poker?"
Dox: "of course, if you go to the cross bar, you will see that at least ten tables are playing cards. It is estimated that you will be invited to a game when you go in."
Angel was silent for a moment. He wanted to ask about the Royal daughter's castle, but after listening to dox, he couldn't help asking, "how did poker cards reach the Sandworm market?"
The Sandworm market, at least in angel's impression, is a very remote wizard market, surrounded by the desert, and not too many people go there.
But even if it's so remote, poker has become popular? It's not long since he taught Xia Li poker.
"Well, it's from Mesopotamia. It's said that at the beginning, there was a magician who gave a grand performance there. Although I don't know what the performance is, poker cards came from that time." Dox: "it seems that the magician is still a woman. She is traveling all over the world and performing magic performances."
Angel:... Well, he understands.
The magician on the mainland tour is definitely Xia Li, or has something to do with Xia Li. Angel did not expect that Charley could do this in order to promote poker magic.
After sighing, angel also breathed a sigh of relief? At least for now? Poker was not excluded as an exotic.
Poker is like a shadow box made by angel. In fact, it comes from Jon in essence. Although Jon looks like an ordinary man who is insignificant and terminally ill? But another human civilization he brought? But quietly integrated into the wizard culture.
From this point of view, although Jon is unknown? But it is also affecting the cultural process of the wizard world... Even the entertainment culture.
"Did you come to me this time to discuss playing cards? If you are interested in playing cards? When you return to the Sandworm market, I'll take you to the cross bar." There was a message from DOX.
Angel: "playing cards is just a digression. I came to you to ask you about your stay in the Royal daughter castle."
Dox gave a strange smile: "why, are you interested in the way the Royal daughter plays?"
Angel calmly explained, "there are two talented people on our side who haven't been found. According to the news, they seem to have been taken away by the Royal daughter last night."
"One is Gloucester, with fair complexion and light blonde hair; the other is blazer, with dark skin and dark brown hair, and his hands seem to be wrapped with bandages."
"Did you see them in the Princess Castle?"
Dox was silent for a few seconds? Then he sighed: "they are the gifted people you are looking for, tut tut."
Angel heard the strange tone in DOX's voice: "have you seen them?"
Dox: "of course? The wonderful performance I just said, they are the protagonists... Oh? No, the princess is the protagonist? These two are supporting actors."
Angel: are they in the Royal daughter's room
Dox: "HMM."
"How are they?" What does angel mean? Are they still alive?
Dox: "how's the situation? I didn't see it to the end. I don't know, but according to the Royal daughter's playing method, you have to peel off your skin if you don't die."
……
Angel ended his conversation with DOX and said to Mello: "I got their location information. It's in the Royal daughter's room."
Angel: "let's go now."
After that, angel turned first and walked towards the first floor of the stairs, and the others hurried to follow.
Mello wanted to ask what information Angel got and the situation of Glos and blazer, but before he could speak, he heard something on the ground floor.
And a faint smell of blood.
Angel also smelled it, but he didn't stop. Instead, he accelerated and walked to the next floor.
On the first floor, angel saw the familiar stone ghost.
The Gargoyle waved its flesh wings and hovered high. Its eyes were always staring at a human below. At this time, the door on the first floor has been blocked by it. The human is like a bird in a bird cage. He can't escape at all. And it can play wantonly... Until it completely kills him.
The stone ghost's bad eyes have been following the human who has many blood marks on his body. I don't know that there are other people watching it on the first floor at this time.
"What happened? That man seems to be wearing the standard armor of the imperial daughter's castle. How could he be chased by the stone statue ghost?" Ms. Mello wondered.
"Probably because he didn't hide the bloody smell on his body. He was found by the gargoyle. He was a betrayer." Angel said faintly.
The man being chased and killed by the Gargoyle over there is the little Tom who came to prison with the leader.
His skill is quite vigorous, but he doesn't have formal training at first sight. Even with a sharp dagger in his hand, he can hardly Parry a stone statue ghost who can dive and attack at any time from high altitude.
After a while, little Tom was added with some deep blood.
A lot of blood flows out. If you don't stop bleeding in time, just bleeding can make little Tom die.
And this is obviously the purpose of the gargoyle. If he really wanted to kill little Tom, he could definitely kill him with one blow, but he didn't do so. It's estimated that he wanted little Tom to watch him bleed to death with his own eyes.
"My Lord, what are we going to do now?"
Ms. Mello was talking. She didn't know what to do. What she asked was how to choose.
The gate on the first floor is closed by the gargoyle. There are only three ways for them to leave.
First, break the wall... But a large number of magic energy arrays are depicted on the wall. Taking the whole prison as the foundation, it is not so simple to break it.
Second, kill the gargoyle. As soon as the Gargoyle dies, the gate it controls will naturally open.
Third, wait for the Gargoyle to kill the human. At that time, the Gargoyle will be restored to a statue and the door will open.
What they have to do now is to make a choice among these three options.
Angel did not answer Ms. Mello's question because he directly expressed his choice with action.
Several pale white phantom limbs like tentacles spread from angel. These phantom limbs were very fast and tied up when the Gargoyle didn't react at all.
The Gargoyle was surprised that there were people on the first floor!
However, this doubt was also its last thought, because the next second, the phantom limb was squeezed gently, and the stone statue ghost was directly broken into countless pieces.
Taking back the phantom limb, angel ignored the Gargoyle's body and went to little Tom.
"Noble wizard, are you here?"
Angel didn't remove the illusion, and little Tom couldn't see him, but little Tom spoke, and from the direction he turned his head, he still faced angel, as if little Tom could really see angel.
But Angel knew that little Tom could never see himself. His face might be a coincidence or some ability.
"The adult killed the Gargoyle and didn't leave. Is he going to kill me?"
"If you can, I hope adults don't kill me. I have a strong inspiration. I can become an adult's servant and serve adults."
Perhaps to show his inspiration, little Tom continued, "I had a vague sense of the existence of adults before. Adults have been following me and the team leader to the prison."
Little Tom's words made Angel frown slightly. Unexpectedly, little Tom's face is really not a coincidence. He does have a talent for inspiration. And this kind of inspiration talent is estimated to have great potential.
Otherwise, with little Tom's strength, he could never feel it. Angel followed them at that time.
"Since you found me, why didn't you tell your team leader about it?" After little Tom talked to himself for half a day, angel finally spoke.
Little Tom breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as he could communicate, at least he had a chance: "because I vaguely felt that this might be my chance."
"Your chance to kill the leader?" Although angel was asking questions, his tone was quite firm.
Before that, he found a knife wound behind the leader, and there were no other injuries on the leader. In other words, he was likely to die before the wandering apprentices escaped, and the wandering apprentices did not vent their anger at his body. His death was not done by a wandering apprentice. It is likely that he was unprepared and attacked from behind.
At that time, angel wondered if it would be the leader's confidants, because only confidants had the opportunity to stand behind the leader.
At that time, little Tom was the only confidant the team leader brought into the prison.
"Yes, I killed the leader. However, at that time, I thought that adults must have a plan to follow us, and maybe they will kill the leader in the end. But adults didn't do so. There's no way. I can only do it myself."
"The opportunity soon came. The team leader found that the fat guard fainted to the ground for some reason. When he squatted down to check, his back was exposed in front of me. I inserted his heart from behind with a hidden dagger."
When little Tom talked about the experience of killing the leader, his expression was obviously happy.
"According to you, if I follow you and kill the leader, I will certainly kill you. Don't you worry about that?"
Little Tom: "don't worry, because I'm ready to die. As long as that person can die, it doesn't matter if I die."
Little Tom's expression was very calm and his tone was very plain, but the determination hidden under the calm was quite powerful.
Angel: does he have a grudge against you
Little Tom: "blood feud."
Angel knew that it seemed that little Tom entered the Princess Castle, flattered the leader and became a confidant for revenge.
Angel thought and continued, "since you are ready to die, why do you beg for mercy like me now?"
Little Tom also said simply, "if I can't die, I naturally hope to live. Of course, if adults choose to kill me, I won't complain."
Angel could see that little Tom was telling the truth.
He does have the will to die, but he also has the expectation of living from death.
Angel was silent for a moment: "since I didn't kill you then, I won't kill you now."
Little Tom's eyes flashed with joy and immediately fell to his knees: "thank you, sir. I'd like to be your servant."
Angel: do you think I'll want a betrayer as a servant
Little Tom paused for an instant.
Yes, even if little Tom has a deep blood feud with the team leader, he is a betrayer after all. In the eyes of others, even if there is a reason, he is also anti bone.
And the wizard in front of him obviously thinks so.
"That..." little Tom didn't know what to say. He spit out a syllable for a long time and didn't have a text.
Angel said, "but your inspiration is really useful."
When he finished, angel gently put out his finger and put it in the middle of little Tom's eyebrow.
Little Tom's expression was dull for a moment, but it soon recovered.
After all this, angel gave little Tom a treatment so that he wouldn't bleed to death.
After treatment, little Tom stood up, bowed in the direction of angel, and then turned away without saying a word.
When little Tom completely disappeared from the door and witnessed all the previous conversations, Ms. Mello asked curiously, "Sir, do you have any plans for him?"
Angel: "I didn't have plans for him, you had plans for him."
Ms. Mello was stunned and puzzled.
Angel: "his inspiration is very high. This level of inspiration means that his mental strength will not be poor. I asked him to go to old Potter. After you leave the castle, go and check his talent. If you can, check his origin in order. If everything is OK, you can also list him as a talent this time."
