Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2587: Chapter 2588: Transfer Station

”This window is also part of the Magical Energy Array, so unless necessary, try not to touch this area’s array,” Angel said. ”I suggest we first look for an exit in this building.”

”Of course, it’s just my personal suggestion. If you have other ideas, feel free to bring them up.”

Angel was very self-aware; he became the leader largely because he knew the location of that wall. In terms of exploring ruins, he might not even be as experienced as Kaier. Therefore, he wouldn’t act arbitrarily and would listen to his teammates’ suggestions... especially the one from a teammate with strong inspiration but unaware of it.

Angel glanced around; Kaier and Vay dared not speak, and for some reason, the Black Earl also remained silent.

Only Dox nodded and said, ”Though I think breaking open this window, even if the magical energy array counterattacks, it shouldn’t be too severe. But let’s go with your suggestion; perhaps there’s more information here since this building is the stronghold of those Demon God cultists.”

After finishing his words, Dox glanced at the floating slabs in the distance: ”Just to say beforehand, if the information we gain here is written in that weird Weinus language again, some folks better not withhold important information.”

Although everyone knew who Dox was referring to, and they agreed with Dox’s words, his tone made their hearts skip a beat.

The tone is far too sarcastic... So, is he directly confronting the Black Earl?

Vay cautiously looked at the Black Earl, afraid his lord would overreact, but to his surprise, the Black Earl wasn’t angry.

The Black Earl simply and indifferently replied, ”The agreement between Angel and me is already set; what I say is my own choice.”

Dox wasn’t surprised by the Black Earl’s refusal, but the Earl’s calm reaction made him slightly suspicious. However, Dox didn’t voice this doubt, instead putting on a feigned look of resignation and saying to Angel, ”I felt there was really no need to make an agreement with him earlier. Now look, isn’t he just feeling pleased with himself?”

Angel smiled and said nothing. Without setting rules, if the Black Earl’s True Body came, their exploration would almost be a wash. Angel was acutely aware that this relic exploration couldn’t avoid the esteemed ancestor of the Noah Clan—Augustine.

After all, even the Alchemy Omen that appeared for the ”key” refining the wall was personally judged by Augustine, which explains everything.

”Since everyone doesn’t object to exploring this building first, let’s begin,” Angel said, looking toward the hallway ahead: ”There are corridors on this floor, so there must be rooms. Let’s check out the rooms on this floor and see if there are any clues related to this place.”

Although the corridor splits into two ways, they didn’t separate, not out of fear of danger if they couldn’t support each other, but purely because Dox worried the Black Earl might find some intelligence and not share it with them.

Of course, even if the Black Earl accompanied them in finding intelligence, whether he was willing to share it was his choice. But at least they’d know of its existence rather than being completely unaware of what the Black Earl had gained.

Dox’s intentions were all too evident. Everyone guessed them, including the Black Earl, who also saw through them. Yet he didn’t say anything and chose a direction with the group and started moving.

After three minutes of exploration, they roughly understood the structure of this floor.

The layout was like a ”return” character, with the corridors fully connected. On each side of this ”return,” there was a room, but three of them yielded nothing, neither completely empty nor containing anything useful.

As for the last room, although named room, it’s actually a hall larger than the other three rooms, and here they also discovered a staircase leading upwards.

”There seem to be some stains here, which is somewhat strange.” The speaker was Kaier, who was squatting near a stone wall in the hall.

The wall material was Star Color Stone, but unfortunately, the wall remained blank, with the paintings having long disappeared. However, on the lower right of the stone wall, there was a bit of stain, black mixed with gray.
