The so-called wait, of course, is to wait for the "test" that will appear next.
But before they came back, the black count took the lead in breaking the silence: "don't wait... It's already here."
People subconsciously turned around, but they saw a naive and lovely little girl in the corner on one side of the corridor.
Her clothes also match her image. She is dressed in a rabbit suit, wearing a rabbit ear hairpin on her head and a carrot shaped satchel, full of childishness and innocence.
Everyone didn't care much about the appearance of the rabbit girl. What they were thinking was that the rabbit girl should be a "problem making machine" like the previous poet and astrologer, but they didn't know what kind of problems she would produce?
The poet's question is about an unknown poem. The problem of astrologers is related to the analysis of an astrology.
From their dress, it seems that we can see the direction of their questions.
According to this idea, will the problem of the rabbit girl be related to small animals?
While they were thinking, the rabbit girl didn't make any further moves, but squatted in the corner like a radish, holding her chin with both hands and looking at angel with her head tilted.
No one was surprised that the rabbit girl would look at angel.
Previously, bards only paid attention to dox, astrologers only paid attention to the count of black, so it was normal to have a "man" who only paid attention to angel.
What people care more is that the rabbit girl doesn't seem to wear a "Mask"? Isn't there a third broken mask?
And why didn't she say anything? You know, the poets and astrologers before took the initiative to speak. Although they didn't say anything good, they just wanted to "write a question", at least they took the initiative to speak. The little girl didn't say a word, and the people didn't know when she appeared. Unless the black count reminded them, they might ignore her existence.
"Is she mute? Or is she waiting for you to say hello to her?" Dox said to angel in his heart tie: "it's normal for children to be reserved, so it's your turn to take the initiative!"
Dox's tone was encouraging, not that he saw something fishy, but that he just wanted to see angel's jokes. In his opinion, the child looks cute in dress, but it is absolutely abnormal to appear here. It is estimated that he is another bear child or a bad child.
Either way, it must be hard to deal with. Therefore, encouraging angel to communicate is to see a good play.
However, the next story disappointed DOX, because the child suddenly didn't speak and turned and disappeared after looking at angel for a long time.
Before she disappeared, she threw out a broken mask from her carrot satchel.
Now, the previous doubts were solved. She didn't have a mask, but she didn't wear it on her face, but she put it in her satchel.
But this doubt was solved, and a new doubt was born: what about the agreed test?
Why is there no test? He stared at angel in silence for a while and threw out his mask. What's going on?
"Why?" Dox kept saying in his heart: "why can you get a mask without doing anything? Lord Black count and I worked hard to solve the problem!"
As soon as DOX's voice fell, VAI whispered, "it's Kael who solved the problem."
Dox: "anyway, I'm trying. At least I'm the one who writes! And he didn't do anything and didn't even say a word. It's unfair!"
Although DOX was complaining about his boastful performance, his words did poke people's curiosity.
The little girl's performance is so different from the previous two!
"Did you start looking at your face when you were so young?" Wai muttered.
Dox was unconvinced and said, "what do you think? If you really look at your face, I'm much more handsome than him!"
Vaizan disagreed with DOX's confident speech, but one thing is certain that DOX is a little better than angel who used deformation.
At least, DOX is dressed smartly. And angel's dress now is a little depressed and lazy.
As for the comparison between Angel's true face and DOX, it is difficult to judge.
Because they don't know what angel really looks like now.
Previously, everyone thought that angel's true face was the blonde picture in the magazine. However, when the wise master used the truth book, the real appearance of angel reflected in the previous book. Although the specific outline can not be seen clearly, it is definitely not what it looks like in the magazine.
Therefore, there is no comparison at all.
Watching vay and DOX start arguing about whether they are "good-looking or not", the black count, who has not spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help opening his mouth: "there's no need to discuss this topic. We don't decide whether to make a question or not, test or not."
The black count's words were a tone. With this tone, people stopped arguing.
Until then, angel said, "I understand your doubts, but Lord Black is right. I can't decide the girl's abnormal behavior."
"There are only two things I can tell you: first, the girl's satchel contains not only a mask, but also wood spirit derivatives. That is to say, the creature we perceived before should be her. Second, the masks are complete."
First, it's not too important. They knew before that the other party must have wood spirit derivatives. The only thing to pay attention to is, if the wood spirit derivative is on the rabbit girl, who are the previous poets and astrologers? What does it have to do with the rabbit girl?
However, these questions have no solution for the time being and can only be shelved.
The second thing is the most important thing at present. After all, whether poets, astrologers or rabbit girls, they leave masks before they disappear. Obviously, this mask has no special significance.
Now, the broken mask finally finds the last piece of the puzzle. Perhaps this special significance will be revealed soon.
"Is this mask the surprise that the wise master said to us?" Dox road.
VAI: I think so
Dox looked at Angel putting together the last broken mask with a trace of hesitation on his face: "if it's really a surprise, it's too little to give only one mask... We're not divided enough."
VAI was a little speechless and said, "you don't know what the mask is, so you start thinking about distribution?"
Dox didn't care about VAI's sarcasm and patted VAI on the shoulder: "you know, this is the reality of the wizard world. On the issue of interests, if you don't take the initiative to speak, you may be deliberately ignored in the end."
As soon as DOX's voice fell, he received angel's eyes, and the black count pointed his nose at him.
Dox coughed quickly: "I'm not talking about you, I'm teaching little VAI... Experience..."
Angel didn't say anything, just took a deep look at DOX. The black count was crisp and lost a sound blocking technique to dox, a big red x, which was directly sealed on DOX's mouth.
With DOX's ability, he was able to break away from the forbidden sound seal, but in the end he didn't do so. He just protested a little with his eyes and stepped back to VAI.
After a few seconds, angel finally put the masks left by the rabbit girl together.
When the three broken masks are combined together, they seem to have spirituality and blend with each other. In the twinkling of an eye, the crack disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a complete mask.
The appearance of the mask is very ordinary. At least, it is much less aesthetic than the gray merchant and his masks.
Even, it's OK to call it face inversion.
The whole is grayish white, and the size also belongs to the normal specification. The facial features are three-dimensional but have no characteristics. There are no holes in the eyes, mouth and nose—— This is also a characteristic of the wizard world. You don't have to breathe through your nose, eat or see things with your eyes. Basically, it is standard for a mature and extraordinary person, so you simply don't give anything to the mask. Like the mask derived from angel's right eye, it is different.
"Sir, does this mask have any special effects?" VAI asked curiously.
Previously, in the eyes of the public, this mask was a mortal except for some confusion about the material. But the scene of the mask's self integration just now was staged in front of them. Being able to integrate with each other has shown that the mask is not ordinary.
Angel simply shrugged: "I don't know. It can't be seen until you put it on."
When he finished, angel looked at DOX. "Would you like to try it on?"
Dox's eyes lit up, but soon showed a look of vigilance. There were so many people present, even Angel himself could try it on, but he just put his eyes on him... Cheating! There must be fraud!
There's definitely something wrong with DOX's understanding of angel.
Considering this, although DOX was a little curious about the effect of the mask, he still made a gesture of resistance.
Angel squinted and said nothing. However, this kind of attitude makes DOX feel that his choice is not wrong.
The black count then said, "before, you said this was an old stone?"
Angel nodded: "yes, the whole mask is made of old stone. Therefore, the mask should inherit some of the effects of old stone. However, old stone is a special material, and its characteristics are determined by the holder."
Black count: "what do you mean?"
Angel: "this starts with the effect of the old stone."
"Lao Shi recorded in the materials I read that it is a kind of 'living' stone, which has a similar effect of prolonging life."
"Living stone, similar to stone spirit?" The black count wondered.
Angel shook his head. "Not so."
If it is really a stone spirit, angel would directly say that it is a living stone, or a rock creature.
But the old stone is different from this stone creature. It has no life, but it has memory.
Its memory comes from its holder.
The most basic effect of Laoshi is to prolong life. As long as you carry the old stone with you, your life, your time, everything is fixed at the moment when you carry the old stone.
After that, as long as you always carry the old stone, your life will always be in a fixed state and will not grow old.
The conceptual meaning of "Lao", which is composed of time and experience, is recorded and replaced by Lao Shi.
Also because the old stone replaces the holder to grow old, it is called "old" stone.
The holder will not grow old because of the old stone, but it is not completely without side effects. In this process, Lao Shi recorded what the holder saw, that is, memory.
In the wizarding world, there is a faction that defines living as having memory. They believe that memory is the essence of all life. As long as memory is still there and can continue to expand, then this is living, and living means you have life.
So, according to the definition of this faction, when Lao Shi has a memory, in a sense, it is another you who is "alive".
This definition is right or wrong, let alone. But after Lao Shi has a memory, there will be some changes.
Originally, the old stone only has the effect of prolonging life, but when the memory exists in the old stone, these memories can be called alive or become power.
And the power of this memory comes from the holder. Therefore, when the old stone has a special effect other than prolonging life, it is difficult to judge what the effect is, but to consider what the holder has experienced.
"So it is..." VAI showed his disillusionment: "so, Lao Shi can be used as a medium for knowledge inheritance?"
The experience of a wizard is also a process of knowledge precipitation and digestion. If the old stone records these memories, isn't it an alternative inheritance?
Angel: "it depends on how many memories Lao Shi recorded."
VAI: ah, what do you mean
Angel smiled and said nothing. Instead, the black count on one side said, "if the holder holds the old stone for thousands of years, what effect will it have if others get the old stone?"
Angel: "will it be washed directly into dementia by the flood of memory for thousands of years?"
At the moment when angel's voice fell, DOX's eyes widened and his fingers trembled and pointed to angel. Although he didn't speak, the accusation was full of meaning.
Angel smiled and said, "if it's not ten thousand years, but decades, or a hundred years, as long as your brain can bear it, what VAI said about inheritance is not bad. Therefore, this is a rare opportunity."
Vay rolled his eyes and turned his head sulking.
"If someone has worn this mask for thousands of years, don't we and can't wear it at will?" VAI asked.
Angel: "the mask will last forever. It's just an example given by Lord Black. I said it casually. But I didn't say it could last forever."
"The old stone is not an unlimited life extension. It depends on the quality and volume of the old stone. The quality and volume of this mask are good, but it should not be achieved if it can be worn for thousands of years." Angel paused and said, "it's estimated that the millennium will be enough."
