Hearing angel's resolute refusal, the wise master felt a little sorry, but he also understood why Angel refused.
Indeed, there is no balance between what angel wants and what the wise master wants. What's more, the savage cave is a giant, and it's not what angel can say. The master of the wise originally wanted to break through from angel first, and leave the rest to him to slowly convince the forces behind him.
But since Angel refused directly, he had to give up.
Although the wise master was disappointed, he didn't care too much... Because his real goal was not angel. But the black count, who is talking to the wise master in another room at the moment.
……
"Cooperation?"
The black count looked at the boy opposite and said with some disdain: "what is the value of today's broken Nara City and worth my cooperation?"
The wise master sat cross legged on the ground, his head buried, looking at the winding lines on the ground.
When the black count wondered, the ground suddenly glowed.
Seeing the glimmer flashing from the ground, the black count did not respond, because he did not smell malice or killing.
Two seconds later, the low light condensed and finally formed a picture on the ground.
If angel was here, he would find that the painting was actually a mural in their previous room. The content in the mural is a panoramic view of Nara City.
It's a panorama. In fact, it just draws some landmark buildings.
This picture is not very special, because the original picture on the surface of Nara City can be found by the outside world as long as you look for it. What's hard to find is the map in the underground waterway.
The black count looked at the map and wondered.
At this time, the wise master pointed to one of the white peaked buildings: "do you know where this is?"
The black count said faintly, "the wise master wants to say that the Noah family once belonged to the city of nailuo, so now the Noah family must also cooperate with the city of nailuo?"
The black count naturally knows this white spire building. There are more detailed records of this building in the Noah family's library.
Because this building used to belong to the Noah family.
"If I say yes, your answer is?"
Count Black: "not enough."
Hearing the black count's answer, the wise master smiled.
The black count did not directly refuse, but said "not enough", which means that the black count at least did not reject the fact that the Noah family once belonged to Nero city. Moreover, this is an alternative "bargaining".
Cooperation is not impossible. But it is not enough to rely solely on the right and wrong ten thousand years ago.
The wise master looked at the black count, then moved his finger slowly to a simple but huge dome hall next to the white spire building.
Count black thought the wise master would continue to ask him about the palace, but he didn't.
Wise master: "I won't ask you the information of this building. I believe you don't know everything even if you know it."
The black count hissed in his nose and didn't speak, waiting for the words of the wise man.
"This building is called puru Library in the outside world."
"Puru library?" The black count repeated, as if wondering about the name.
"It's an odd name, isn't it?" The wise master: "this is the name of the city master's life. The reason why I named it puru is because the name I reported to the city master before I became the master is called puru."
The black count was stunned: "is this the real name of the wise man?"
The master of the wise man shook his head: "when he first met nailuo, he was a little wary and reported his name at will. But nailuo... Alas, he knew it wasn't my real name and made the name of the library with puru."
Count Black: "what does the wise master mean by saying this?"
The wise master: "I don't have any deep meaning. I just want to tell you that the puru library is actually my territory. When I didn't move to the prison ladder, the place where I lived was the puru library. The area around the puru library is also under my jurisdiction, including the territory of your Noah family."
"My fate with you Noahs is not just Augustine. I know many people of your Noahs, and I have witnessed their growth."
Black count: "is the wise master going to continue playing emotion cards? If it's still emotion cards, my answer is still not enough."
As a descendant of the Noah family, count black must have respect for his ancestors. However, ten thousand years is so long that his impression of his ancestors is only a row of names on the page.
Strange and cold.
The wise master: "you can't hold your breath more than angel... Young man, why don't you listen to me?"
The black count was stunned and silent for a moment before he said, "it's my faux pas."
The wise master smiled and said, "the reason why I want to say the previous words is because I am not indifferent to you Noah people."
After a pause, the wise master said, "I have a secret here that even adanis doesn't know. Do you want to hear about your Noah family?"
Black count: "is this also part of the deal? Or is it part of the cooperation?"
The wise master shook his head: "no, just think I gave you a secret for nothing."
Since it is a free gift, the black count will not refuse.
The wise master: "My Secret involves the ancestors of your Noah family. However, it is not Augustine or those old friends ten thousand years ago."
"But the ethnic groups considered missing by the Noahs."
The black count immediately realized: "you mean those Noah ethnic groups who were thrown into the sea of empty mirrors by adanis and washed away their memories?"
The wise master nodded: "yes, that is, the exiled hollow people."
"Although I can't help them directly due to the contract with adanis, I actually made all the arrangements after they left the mirror."
"Originally, you Nu should make the follow-up arrangements whether it is thrown into the sea of empty mirrors. But I persuaded you Nu to let Dabao and Xiaobao arrange their follow-up."
"Let them re understand the truth of life, establish new values, and teach them the ability to find the past. These are the people I arranged."
The wise master raised his eyes to the black count and said slowly, "every one is like this."
At this point, the black count was really surprised.
No matter whether the wise master is like Noah, as he said, so take care of these people. Or is it that wise men have other plans? In fact, these are not important.
Because the wise man's words show a meaning: he knows where all the hollow people are and has complete control of their current situation.
Even these hollow people are grateful to the wise master. After all, it was the wise man who taught them to return to society.
The black count can ignore the Noah ancestors ten thousand years ago or the Noah ethnic groups who left the southern region, but he can't ignore these "hollow people".
Since he learned about the existence of these people, even though the black count has never expressed his attitude or made any evaluation on this, he has never put it down in his heart.
Even the black count had thought that he must ask adanis about it after going to the clear sky poetry room.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
It's all about Noah's blood.
Noah's blood belongs to extraordinary blood, with special talent, which also belongs to the pride of Noah family. Because they don't even need to integrate into other blood vessels, they can melt, polish and wash their own blood vessels... Although they can't compare with the blood vessels of some demons or higher life, they are very good. Besides, if you can't compare with the devil's blood, you can make it up. It's not that you can't integrate into the new blood.
Therefore, Noah's blood is a foundation with great potential. It can not only gain itself, but also avoid rejection due to integration into other blood vessels.
However, Noah's blood has both advantages and disadvantages. However, its weakness is not that there is any problem in its blood, but that it... Overcomes its sin.
Generally speaking, the blood integrated by wizards is non-human extraordinary creatures. It does not mean that they cannot integrate into human blood, but human blood is generally not special.
But Noah's blood is different. They are born extraordinary and belong to human beings. After integration, they have almost no rejection. They are the blood that lays the foundation for low-level apprentices. There is no problem for the blood side wizards who take the first line of transformation to integrate into Noah's blood, which can be regarded as broadening their ability range.
However, because the Noah family has the protection of the black count, and basically all descendants have the organs of the black count to follow, there will be no wizard to take such a big risk to deal with the Noah descendants. Therefore, basically, Noah's blood is rarely robbed.
Now, there are a group of hollow people. They don't have the memory of Noah, but they have the blood of Noah.
If found, Noah's blood is likely to be robbed.
Moreover, many hollow people have been missing for many years. Over the years, those hollow people will also have offspring. If there are talents in the offspring, Noah's blood will also be activated, which also has the risk of being forcibly taken.
In the eyes of count black, this is a major problem.
The uniqueness of Noah's blood enables Noah family to reach its peak. But if someone also has Noah's blood and clearly knows the advantages and disadvantages of Noah's blood, wouldn't it be easy to deal with Noah?
In addition, if someone with Noah's blood is obtained by some wizards who are good at cursing... The consequences are unimaginable.
Of course, for the black count, caring about blood is the most important; But at the same time, he also hopes to find the hollow people and those Noah people who are still alive... This is the emotional fetter of the Noah family alone.
Therefore, when the wise master mentioned the follow-up of the hollow man, the black count really couldn't sit still.
"Where are they now?" The black count asked casually, and there was no urgency in his voice.
The wise master: "which one are you asking?"
The black count was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the missing Noah ancestors in the past.
However, before the black count thought it out, the wise master waved his hand: "forget it, even if you say the name, I don't know who it is. After they are washed away from their memory, they have a new name and a new identity. Everything in the past has disappeared for them, including the original name."
"How many of them are still alive?" Asked the black count.
Wise master: "there are still many. After all, they are extraordinary. It's not difficult to live."
The wise master seems to reply to every sentence, but there are few effective clues. Even if a clue is revealed, such as "many hollow people are still alive", in the eyes of count black, this clue is only a chip dominated by the wise.
The black count closed his eyes and was lost in thought.
After a long time.
For a long time, another wise master came in from the outside and became one with the wise master in front of count black.
This also means that angel has finished talking with the wise master, leaving only the black count.
Until then, the black count slowly said, "I can cooperate with you on behalf of the Noah family, but there are three preconditions for cooperation."
Wise master: "you say."
"Cooperation is limited to what I can do without harming the interests of the Noah family. If you want nailuo to regain glory, I can't do it."
Rebuilding Nara will not happen overnight. Moreover, there is no profit at all, and even the reconstruction of Nara is likely to encounter the same falling crisis.
Nailuo city is targeted, not only because of outsiders, but also because of the style of nailuo city itself. Therefore, there are no fewer enemies in Nara City. If the black count helps the wise master rebuild Nara, it will only make the Noah family bear these unwarranted hostility.
Wise master: "yes, what I said about cooperation is similar to what external tourist organizations do. It's just that they don't know the truth of the underground waterway or my existence. It belongs to inadvertent cooperation. What I need is a clear partner."
"I will not put the burden of rebuilding nailuo on the Noah family. Moreover, the reappearance of glory we hope for is not only the ruins of nailuo with empty appearance."
The black count hissed noncommittally. He understood what the wise man meant, that is, Nara City in the material sense and Nara City in the spiritual sense. Nailuo city in the material sense is the so-called reconstruction; In the spiritual sense, nailuo city is recognized by the wizard community in the southern region.
Neither is easy, especially the latter.
Count Black: "and the second point, I need to know all the information about underground waterways."
The wise master: "I can only say to what extent we cooperate and give what degree of information. We want all the information unless our cooperation purposes are exactly the same. But are you willing?"
The purpose of cooperation is exactly the same, which means that the black count took the stick dominated by the wise man and the burden of rebuilding nailuo city also fell on him, which the black count is absolutely unwilling to do.
Cooperation, only cooperation, can only be cooperation.
"If you don't want to give me all the information, I want to maintain absolute independence in this short cooperative relationship. I will promise what I am willing to do. Don't force what I don't want to do."
Wise master: "yes. However, this is a good condition for you. If you don't agree to anything, our cooperation is meaningless. Therefore, we need some time to do some early cooperation to determine the bottom line of both sides."
The black count nodded and agreed to the proposal of the wise man.
Then the black count put forward the last point: "I need all the information of those hollow people in your mouth, including their current situation, their current location and their descendants."
The wise master smiled. Although the black count finally proposed the hollow man, he knew that the black count was most concerned about the people who had been left behind.
"Yes, but what I want to say is that I can provide you with all the information for those who remain in the southern region. But some of them have joined the major wizard organizations, so I can provide limited information. Xiaobao's men can't enter these wizard organizations to get information. In addition, some of them have left the southern region, and I don't know the information of these people, so I can say It's actually limited. "
The wise master thought, nodded and agreed with the wise master.
If you leave the southern region, the wise man can't control it, nor can the black count.
However, the black count, as the top wizard in the southern region, still has access to those who join the major wizard organizations. As long as they can contact, it is not difficult to know their follow-up information.
After both sides agreed, the wise master and the black count only confirmed the oral contract.
Neither party mentioned further contracts.
Because the black count is only separated, if you want to sign a more ceremonial and solemn contract, you still need the black count to come in person.
Due to the contract with angel, the black count cannot inform the noumenon now, so the real contract must wait until the end of their exploration.
