Section 2634 Trust

Angel still didn't understand what the vines' fluctuations meant in the end.

The only thing we know is that the vines showed friendly emotions to him as a "wood spirit". But they clearly showed rejection to the people behind Angel.

If Angel, the "wood spirit", hadn't stood in the front, the vines might have started to attack them.

Angel tried to express friendly emotions, and constantly manipulated the power of nature to make separation movements, indicating that they and others wanted to go through.

The emotions reflected by the vines were very complicated, and they seemed to be very puzzled as to why Angel wanted to go along with humans.

After understanding this emotion, Angel couldn't help but show his confusion. If he could materialize it, he would definitely have a row of question marks on his head now.

The reason why Angel felt puzzled was because the vines seemed to think that "spirits" should not be with humans?

Spirits are extremely complex life forms. Their appearance is due to coincidences and the right time and place. But there is a core point that cannot be disputed. The birth of spirits is closely related to humans...or intelligent life.

The spirits born in the Southern Territory wizard world are basically related to humans.

Because of this, most of the spirits here have a natural close relationship with humans.

The vines don't seem to know this. They believe that pure wood spirits should not stay with filthy humans.

So how did this concept get implanted in the vines' shallow thinking?

Could it be because of the wood spirit they are looking for?

In Angel's mind, he couldn't help but start to make up a story--

According to Zhou's description, the wood spirit was a very cowardly weirdo. The moment it was born, it was lonely and faced a large number of ferocious and terrifying witch ghosts. So it kept pretending to be dead for many years, and finally found an opportunity to escape to the ladder of the hanging prison.

Zhou just used one sentence to lightly describe the situation and whereabouts of the wood spirit.

However, there should be more to it.

For example, how did the wood spirit come to the ladder of the hanging prison?

It is barely understandable that the wood spirit will run in the direction of the stinking ditch here. Because there are only two passages in that area full of witch ghosts. One is the entrance they came in, and the other is the passage leading to the stinking ditch.

In fact, it is a question of choosing one of the two.

As for the question, can't the wood spirit smell the stench? Shouldn't it go to another exit? This Angel couldn't explain it, but he guessed that the wood spirit might be closer to the stinking ditch at that time. A coward, if he finds an opportunity to escape, he must go to a place close to him. The question of whether it stinks or not is not very important. After all, he can pretend to be dead for many years, and he has been smoked by the stench.

Falling into the stinking ditch is understandable. But how did the wood spirit find the ladder to the hanging prison?

This answer was something Angel had never thought of before, but now seeing the vines expressing closeness to him, Angel had a guess in his mind.

The wood spirit has always faced terrifying monsters. It was not easy to escape and met the same kind that felt close to it - the magic plant vine.

So the wood spirit and the vine started chatting?

As for how they talked, Angel didn't know. Anyway, this is just a brain supplement, first rationalize everything you don't understand, and then say whether it is right or not.

The spirit of the vines is very strong, thanks to the collective spirit of countless vines here. But their thinking is shallow and they don't know much. On the other hand, the wood spirit is also a lack of basic education.

So, after they chatted, the vines were influenced by the wood spirits, and then they came to the understanding that pure spirits should not stay with filthy creatures.

And the wood spirit, under the guidance of the vines, fled to the place where there were no witch ghosts - the ladder of the hanging prison.

The above is Angel's brain-supplemented inference based on the existing information. Whether it is true or not is not known for the time being.

However, it is now known that the vines are likely to have come into contact with the wood spirits, otherwise Angel's "wood spirit" breath would not make the other party show closeness.

There is a certain connection between the wood spirit and the wood demon plant, but it is mostly a subordinate relationship. Only when the wood spirit takes the lead in releasing closeness, the vine will take the initiative to approach the wood spirit. It is difficult for other wood spirits to release closeness to the wood demon plant, but it is hard to say for the ignorant and cowardly wood spirit.

It is precisely because of the previous experience of the cowardly wood spirit that the vines will treat the later "wood spirit" Angel differently.

Angel had a lot of ideas in his mind, whether they were right or wrong, it didn't matter for the time being. What he had to do now was to find a way to get the vines to let them enter the cave.

Angel expressed his willingness to enter, and the vines did not object, but it still showed resistance to the people in the illusion.

In other words, if they really wanted to enter, only Angel, a "wood spirit", could enter.

Angel wanted to use his "glib" skills to persuade the vines, but the vines were different from the daytime. Its intelligence was still at the lowest level, and it could not understand many words, so it would be useless to say them.

Angel thought about it and decided to retreat temporarily.

Speaking of retreating, Angel actually took everyone back to a place where the vines could not reach.

"...This is the specific situation." After returning to the illusion, Angel told everyone about his communication with the vines. Also, his speculation about the wood spirits and vines.

After listening to Ingres's story, Doakes, who had a big imagination and was also a fan of imagination, immediately started to imagine what was going on.

"Your guess may be right. However, if the vine is really a guard like Zhou, then it should perform its duties and prevent any living creature from entering it, which must include the wood spirit. But it let the wood spirit in. Maybe there is a story behind it."

"As for now, it can take the initiative to let you, the fake wood spirit, enter. It is estimated that the thought stamp has been modified. Zhou said that the wise man often entered the ladder of the prison to take the wood spirit away. Perhaps the wise man modified the thought stamp of the vine to allow the wood spirit to enter and exit, thinking that one day the wood spirit will take the initiative to come out."

"But the wood spirit hiding in the ladder of the prison is very cowardly and has not come out yet. On the contrary, it is a good thing for you, the fake wood spirit."

Dox continued to follow Angel's thoughts. Angel actually agreed with it, but why did he always feel that there was a sour taste in Dox's words?

Angel: "Whether our guess is correct or not, the most important goal now is to find a way to get in."

After Angel finished speaking, his eyes slowly wandered around, and finally fixed on the Black Earl.

The Black Earl was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "I understand what you mean, okay."

After the Black Earl agreed, Angel looked at Dox again. Dox nodded quickly: "No problem, we are good friends, I believe you won't cheat your best friend."

The first sentence is still a good friend, and the second sentence becomes a close friend. Angel was too lazy to correct Dox. This guy's best skill is to climb the pole. The more you pay attention to him, the more confident he is; if you ignore him, he will secretly reflect on himself.

So, Angel ignored Dox and turned to Wai and Kael.

"I think you have heard the answers from Lord Black Earl and Red Sword." Angel: "It's not difficult to get in. Either you fight or I take you there."

"The latter is obviously more appropriate. If we cut off all the vines, the only ones who benefit are the latecomers, and we may even offend the Wood Spirit and the wise master."

"Do you understand?"

Wai had Lord Black explain, but he didn't say anything. Kael was a little confused: "I understand what you mean, but how do you want to take us there? Are you going to put us in... a space prop?"

Kael looked at the bracelet on Angel's hand.

There are a lot of cultivated void algae in the space of Angel's bracelet. The oxygen produced and the space stabilized by the algae can indeed hold living things.

However, there are many secrets hidden in his bracelet. If some of these secrets are exposed, they will definitely shock the entire wizard world. Moreover, it will directly offend the strongest person currently recognized in the South Region - Monkey.

Angel dare not use the bracelet to hold people casually.

"My bracelet was made when I was a second-level apprentice. The space is not big. Its main purpose is to reduce the sense of existence. It is no problem to put some small living things, but it is not enough for you."

"So, I plan to put you in... the exile space."

The Black Earl and Dox both guessed Angel's intention at the first time, because as long as they entered Angel's exile space, the vines would never find them. And Angel could enter the road covered by the vines and then release them from the exile space.

However, there is a prerequisite.

Angel must be trustworthy.

The exile space is a skill that formal wizards must learn. It can maintain an alien space for a short time through the inherent magic model.

In the early days, the role of the exile space was very simple, which was to dump some residual slag after extraordinary experiments. Many of these slags were radioactive, and it was very dangerous to dump them at will. Therefore, the exile space came into being, which was regarded as a garbage dump exclusively for wizards.

Later, after the efforts and improvements of countless wizards, the role of the exile space is not limited to garbage collection. It can also be used to store items for a short period of time, but a large amount of magic power is required to maintain the existence of the exile space. Because of the large consumption, if the formal wizard does not practice to replenish energy all the time, it can only last for one or two days at most, so it has no advantage over space equipment.

But the only advantage of the exile space is that it can store living things. As long as your magic power is enough, you can store as many living things as you want.

After all, the exile space is an alien space that can be constructed at any time, and the size of the construction is up to the builder.

However, the larger the space, the more magic power is consumed to maintain the survival of a large number of living things. Therefore, this function is generally not used.

Only those wizards who have returned from the plane of the wilderness will secretly smuggle some alien things.

As for installing people.

There is definitely no problem with the exile space, but the exile space depends entirely on the builder. If the builder has evil thoughts, the people inside can be easily destroyed by blasting the alien space.

Even if he survived by chance, he didn't know where he was in the alien space. Without a signpost, it would be difficult to return.

For this reason, using the exile space to carry people is an operation that requires both parties to trust each other.

Especially trust the operator of the exile space.

The Black Earl hesitated for a long time before agreeing, and was also weighing whether he could trust Angel.

He finally chose to trust.

Of course, this trust is also because the Black Earl has his own confidence. Once Angel really breaks up, the Black Earl believes that his nose will not be blown up by the alien space and die. At that time, it will be a matter of time for him to return to the South Region through positioning with other parts of the body.

When his nose returns to the South, what awaits Angell is the pursuit of the entire Noah clan.

Therefore, if Angell is not a fool, he will not do such a stupid behavior.

As for Dox, as a blood wizard who dares to speak harshly to the Black Earl's nose, it is estimated that it is difficult to blow him to death in the alien space. As long as he survives, there is a possibility of revenge.

And think about it carefully, there is no benefit at this time, and Angell has no need to "deal with" them.

Therefore, after adding up multiple factors, the Black Earl and Dox agreed with Angell's suggestion; Wai and Kael did not think as much as others, and they naturally had no objection to the road behind the vines that could be safely entered.

"Since everyone agrees, then... please come in."

After Angell finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and a simple door appeared beside him.

Behind the door was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. This is also the characteristic of the exile space, which is neither up to the sky nor down to the ground. It is a space floating in the void.

The Black Earl looked at Angel deeply, and said nothing. Instead, he controlled the slate to fly to Wai, and then let Wai take him and step into the gate first.

Kael followed closely.

Dox was the last one to enter. Unlike the others, he kept chattering.

The general meaning was that there was nothing in the exile space, and it was very boring to stay in it. Don’t you alchemists have alchemy workshops? Why don’t you let us go to the alchemy workshops and so on...

The alchemy workshop is also a special space, but it is more stable than the exile space. Through alchemy, it can exist for a long time, and the consumption is very small. It can be regarded as an alchemist’s portable laboratory.

Although Dox said so, he was just itching to talk. If he really went to the alchemy workshop, he would be scared.

As long as the alchemist has an alchemy workshop, there will basically be some secrets in the workshop. For example, the ‘Brown Sugar Servant’ of the Frost Moon Alliance, Brufen, had an alchemy workshop that secretly researched evil gods… In the end, it almost destroyed the Sky Island above the Inverted Falls. If it weren’t for Lord Monkey’s urgent call for all wizards to deal with it, it is estimated that Sky Island, the southern base camp of the abyss, would have been destroyed.

Even if there is no such earth-shattering secret, there are alchemists’ refining works, semi-finished products, and defective products in the workshop… The latter two seem useless, but the drawings of alchemy products are also secrets.

Therefore, unless the alchemist takes the initiative to invite, it is best not to go to the alchemy workshop.

Dox is just a mouthful and heartless person, so he is so nagging.

But he doesn’t know that Angel has not actually built an alchemy workshop at this moment… Although he has an agenda to build an alchemy workshop, he has no choice but to be disturbed by other things with higher priorities.

For example, settling down and absorbing knowledge related to formal wizards is a higher priority than the alchemy workshop.

Alchemy... you can do it anywhere anyway. Having a workshop can save some trouble, but it only saves trouble and keeps it secret. Compared with self-cultivation, it is still a step behind.

After the gossiper also entered the exile space, Angel put Dangros and Speed ​​Spirit in the exile space.

This is actually a move to make them feel at ease.

Dangros and Speed ​​Spirit are both very useful helpers for Angel. Even if they are placed in the exile space, it is even more impossible for Angel to explode the alien space at will.

And Angel's move did make Dox and Black Earl feel a little relieved.

Whether Angel is trustworthy or not is another matter. At least, he is a person with his own ideas and extremely meticulous observation. It doesn't matter whether it is intentional or unintentional. This reflects the cultivation of a wizard.

At least, as far as Black Earl knows, Angel's mentor has never been so considerate.

So, Angel and Sanders really don't seem to be on the same path.

While the Black Earl was thinking, the door of the exile space was closed, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

It was not until then that Kael and Wai seemed to react. Their lives were now in the hands of Angel. Although it was the same in the outside world, the outside world was not as impactful as this dark void.

Just when everyone became quiet, a bright light suddenly appeared in the silent darkness.

It was Dangros, releasing light and heat to illuminate everyone.

With the light, both Kael and Wai felt a little more at ease. At the same time, they also had more good feelings for Angel. Even though Angel was in the outside world at this time, he still cared about them...

However, they didn't know that Angel didn't care about the exile space at all. Dangros's sudden glow and heat were all autonomous behaviors, and the reason was very simple... He was just fainted by the stench and finally woke up. Dangros thought at the first time: I am not clean.

If I am not clean, then burn me!

Burn all the stench and filth that have penetrated into my body.

That’s why there was a blazing flame and a blazing light…

It was all just a misunderstanding.

…

Angel returned to the vines in the image of a “tree spirit” and said he wanted to enter the cave behind them. The vines did not stop Angel this time.

There was only a rustling sound, and a large number of vines quickly separated like snakes. On the wall covered with vines, a hidden passage was revealed.

Before, Angel had guessed that this passage might also be a dog hole? After all, the one exposed was the size of a dog hole.

Until then, Angell confirmed that this was not a dog hole, but a normal-sized door, but the vines covered most of it.

As for why not cover it all, but leave a dog hole? Angell asked the vines about this.

The feedback given by the vines still made Angell guess very hard, and in the end he could only roughly infer that this was not the vines' own behavior, but was deliberately arranged.

As for who arranged it, the vines were even less clear.

Angell could only give up asking questions. Anyway, it was fine to get in. Anything could be explained in a limited way, and there was no need to understand it too much.

After expressing his gratitude to the vines, Angell stepped into the door.

However, after walking a few meters, Angell retreated again. It was not because he encountered danger, but because he forgot something.

Since the vines may have seen the wood spirit, does it know where the wood spirit is at this time?
