"Sir, do you want to go here again?"
It was Kael who asked. The place he was referring to was a piece of ruins. However, they had searched once before and found no clue at that time.
By convention, the place they searched should not have been searched a second time. However, since angel has decided not to go to the third floor and is sure that Mu Ling is on the second floor, Kael may want to search the second floor again carefully.
However, when they passed the ruins, angel didn't mean to search any more. Kael asked suspiciously.
Angel: "no, it's not necessary to go again if it has been searched."
Kael: don't you look for wood spirit
"Look. Aren't we looking?" In order to make his words more credible, angel looked around and looked carefully.
However, there is a quiet void around, which makes people only feel... Perfunctory.
Cael saw this and stopped asking. In his opinion, angel was no longer going to look for it.
Probably, are you bored?
Kael didn't say much, so he could only hope for DOX and VAI in the next group.
……
"Are you really not going to look again?"
Everyone else had given up trying to dissuade angel, and even DOX had begun to rub his hands and look ready to appear. At this time, the wise master, who had not planned to speak, could not help but speak.
Angel's answer remained unchanged: "I'm looking for it."
"If you restrain your lazy expression, maybe I'll believe you're looking for it." The wise man raised his eyebrows.
Angel: "really? I think no matter what I do, the wise master won't believe it?"
The wise master: "the turbid water can't see the bottom, let alone know whether the shadow at the bottom is a crocodile or a stone."
Angel chuckled: "even if the water is clear to the bottom, the wise master will probably doubt whether the underwater stone is a real stone or a fake stone with internal mechanisms."
What the wise man wants to express is that angel is full of fog, just like muddy water. Only when he is clear can he be convincing.
Engel expressed that conspiracy theorists will always only see conspiracy. It is impossible for wise people who are too suspicious to really trust others, especially outsiders.
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong. Their words are expressed from their own standpoint and naturally tend to be selfish.
It is quite difficult to reach an agreement on the position.
Unless one party completely succumbs to the other party and agrees to all the conditions of the other party, it may lead to an agreement of position. However, neither angel nor the wise master can yield to each other.
The wise master doesn't need to mention that his rank is there and he is still at his home. How can he succumb to angel.
As for angel, he doesn't care whether to give in or not. Just as Jon warned angel when he left the old land that self-esteem is the most unnecessary in the world of the law of the jungle. Because self-esteem is the easiest to be trampled on. If self-esteem is enshrined as a divine card, it will not pout after being trampled on. Moreover, self-esteem can easily lead to death.
There is often a bridge in the script. When the strong see that the protagonist would rather die than surrender, they will admire him very much, praise him secretly from the bottom of their heart, and finally let him leave. However, this kind of bridge section is only exclusive to the protagonist. More often, what we prefer to die rather than surrender is not respect, but anger. The anger of the strong can be calmed only by death.
Therefore, Jon warned angel that self-esteem can be, but more often, we should know the current affairs, falsely agree with each other, and then we can live longer.
Angel is a very pragmatic person. When he first met Sanders, if he would rather die than surrender, he would go to white coral floating island college. With Sanders' character, his end is expected to be death.
So angel doesn't care so much about giving in.
But when faced with the domination of the wise, he can't give in. The reason is also very simple. A wise man is not a person who will agree with you if you give in.
As Engel expressed, conspiracy theorists can only see conspiracy.
When you are covered with fog, he will doubt your identity; If you identify yourself, he will doubt your purpose; If you say your purpose, he will doubt your motivation
In the face of such people, repeated concessions will only force yourself to the most extreme situation. Even if you put your soul out, the other party will pick on you.
Therefore, when Angel faced the domination of the wise, it was impossible for him to give in, whether in terms of position or psychological evidence.
But they can't always be so tit for tat. According to what DORO said, "wise men are not stupid", if angel wants to achieve his goal this time, he must reach an agreement with the wise on the position.
But how can we reach an agreement without giving in?
It should be possible to ask for foreign aid and rely on the strength of savage caves, but this is equivalent to completely lifting the table. If you want to continue to explore the ruins, this is the best policy.
In addition to foreign aid, angel can think of only one thing: common interests.
As long as it is driven by common interests, perhaps both sides can take a step back and reach a balance on the position. Even if you still can't agree with the other party's position, you can be willing to accept the significance of the other party's position.
Like the black count.
Such a balance is also maintained between Angel and the count of black. Angel showed many suspicious points during his trip. The black count would ask at the beginning, but then he slowly ignored it. Because they have a common interest, driven by this interest, angel and count black are vested interests, and there is no need to turn over,
The black count can agree, as can the wise master.
But now there is a question, what are the common interests between him and the wise master?
At present, there is no answer, or it is not clear.
However, the uncertainty is only because the wise master did not show his "purpose". As long as we know his purpose and his attitude towards Noah's descendants, angel believes that we will find common interests.
The reason why they are so determined is that if there is no common interest, how can the wise master grind with them for so long.
As for saying, how can we know the purpose of the wise man?
Angel is doing it now.
After completing his so-called bonus conditions and necessary conditions, the wise master will naturally reveal his purpose when he has observed enough of their intelligence.
Knowing the nodule behind his back, angel is not afraid of tit for tat with the master of the wise.
Moreover, only when both sides have expressed their positions, there is a need for talks. Otherwise, if the position is reversed, there is no need to talk about it at all. This is tantamount to giving in in in disguise.
……
Angell's response to "conspiracy theorists will always be blindfolded" is tantamount to direct confrontation with the master of the wise.
They have four eyes... No, they have five eyes.
Between the five eyes, the atmosphere became stagnant and the air began to become deadly.
Seeing this, the wise master's face became more and more gloomy, and everyone felt uneasy. It seemed that they had reached the point of tension.
But what they didn't expect was that the next second, the wise master suddenly turned cloudy to sunny.
After taking a deep look at angel, the wise master whispered, "for the time being, throw away the turbidity of boiling water and talk about it as a matter of fact. Are you sure you don't want to look for mu Ling?"
"If you decide to give up the task, there will be no additional points."
Angel: "you have to wait until I leave the prison ladder to give up the task. Now I'm still 'looking'."
At this time, DOX inserted a sentence: "have you forgotten me? What is the bonus condition? I haven't found it yet. Maybe I found it in the end?"
The wise master glanced lightly at DOX, and then... Continued to look at angel.
"Then I expect you to 'find' mu Ling."
It sounded like a response to dox, but the wise master stared at angel. There was no doubt that he said it to angel. Dox, ignored again.
"Insincere expectations." Angel whispered, and then formally said, "then I try to live up to the expectations of the wise man."
The wise master can naturally hear angel's muttering, but he doesn't care. Because angel is also telling the truth, his so-called expectation is just an empty word.
Among the people present, count black is most likely to find Mu Ling. But the black count has failed, so there is no hope.
The wise master did not believe that angel could find the wood spirit.
As for angel's previous firm statement that "the wood spirit is on the second floor", the master of the wise man also completely ignored it. It should only be angel's last respect.
……
Continue to walk back. The scene along the way is the same as before. Only the drifting debris will move aside from time to time. And angel also had no intention to explore these ruins, and even saved the perfunctory action of "looking for wood spirit".
Seeing this scene, the last doubt was extinguished. Everyone has decided that angel is not going to continue looking.
"Young man, it's impulsive. If you are impulsive, you won't find it if you don't find it." Dox exclaimed, "it seems that your hope still depends on me."
As soon as DOX's words fell, he heard a cold hum from VAI beside him.
Dox turned his head, but saw VAI looking at himself angrily. When he was wondering what was wrong with VAI, the voice of the wise man came to his ears.
"Young? Is he younger than you?"
Dox was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have revealed some information about angel just now.
Dox let out a cry in his heart, but said faintly on the surface, "yes, it's younger than me."
"Well." The wise master whispered to himself: "your age is about 80 years old. There should not be many formal wizards younger than you in the southern region. Moreover, from your tone of voice, he should be much younger than you, maybe under 50. Such a young wizard can also perform magic and alchemy. This information should be able to determine his identity."
Because of the cover of nightmares, the prevention of Earl's fans, and the blessing of the black count's earth ring wall, the wise master has been unable to determine the age of angel.
Before, the wise master left the live fantasy and let DOX and count black return to reality for defense. Without Angel hosting the magic outside, it directly led to dox's real body being seen by the wise man.
It's easy to see how old DOX is with the eyes of a wise man. Therefore, the wise master knew that DOX was 80 years old and belonged to a very young and gifted wizard.
Today, DOX inadvertently reveals that angel is younger than him, and naturally reveals angel's age range.
Dox looked at the wise man's "I believe" appearance and made a serious analysis, which made him a little embarrassed.
He just admitted that angel was younger than him. In fact, he said it on purpose. He wanted to fight against the mentality, let the wise master doubt his words, and then doubt angel's age.
Just to his surprise, the wise master believed!!
Before, angel said openly and secretly that the wise master would not believe people. How can he believe him now?
It seems that there is no way to reverse the idea of being dominated by the wise.
Dox sadly turned his head and looked at angel to express his apology.
But this time, he found that angel didn't look at them at all. Instead, he stopped, closed his eyes and felt, as if looking for mu Ling.
Acting again?
At first, DOX thought that angel continued to be perfunctory, but when he looked closely, he found that angel's expression was unprecedented solemn.
The surrounding energy is also changing with angel's perception.
"What's the matter?" VAI was still angry that DOX exposed angel's information. At this time, he was also attracted by the news on angel's side.
Even the wise master looked at Angel suspiciously at this time and didn't know what he was doing.
The surrounding energy breath suddenly stops when it changes to an extreme.
At the same time, angel opened his eyes.
After a long sigh, angel noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.
Facing the public's attention, angel asked unconsciously, "what's the matter?"
"Should we ask you that?" Dox replied.
"Aren't you talking about my age?"
When it comes to age, DOX's eyes dodge: "cough, age... Age is not very important. We're paying attention to you now. Aren't we asking you, what are you doing?"
Angel shrugged. "Nothing."
After a pause, angel continued, "I'm just thinking about how to make the little guy hiding in the dark show up."
The little guy in the dark?
Who is this talking about? Is it Mu Ling? Angel has found the wood spirit?
While they were still in doubt, angel turned and looked into the dark.
"Hey, there are only two people here. Are you really not going to come out?"
